Ardbert Sings "Close in the Distance" | FFXIV Animation

This song means so much to me.
I fell in love with the song during my time playing through Endwalker.
My wife and I had our first dance to this song at our wedding.
When news reached me about Ardbert being the one singing it to the WoL, I had to make this.
This is my first time trying to make something pretty/beautiful, and honestly it scared me so much to try making this. There were times I thought "This is the worst thing I've ever made", and that I was doing something like this all wrong.
But after getting feedback from my friends, I felt a bit more confident. And so, here it is!
I hope you enjoy my take on it! Thank you so much for your time!

He's not singing in front of an ocean, thats all the tears players shed

[@kitsuneko286]

Oh hi there pal :D

[@misconceptionofyours2409]

I totally agree with you. That whole ending had me sobbing uncontrollably. And this video only made me wish we could have our ghostly companion back.

[@FiohSion-FFXIV]

This one took a few all nighters, fueled by this song. I love this song so much, it has a lot of meaning to me, my wife and I had our first dance to this song! It's my first time trying to make something serious/ pretty. I hope I did a good job, and that it shows how much it means to me! Thank you for taking the time to watch! ❤

[@dameonlarouge4044]

Wow! You should be so proud of yourself and gosh it’s such a good watch-got hella misty eyed 😭😭🤌🤌✨ now go rest and get some sleep bud! *brings ya a basket full of sandwiches* 🧺🥪🥤

[@ArgeloBautista]

You did a great job! Thank you very much for bringing this to life

[@XXXmitsarugiXXX]

You did a good job, i loved that ^^ Please do more :D

[@eveishard2334]

This is so absolutely beautiful. Very very well done! I'm sure people could find things to nit-pick about but considering how quickly you got this done, and just how good it is, you have every right to ignore criticism and to just be proud of it.

[@Iowa2006]

Not going to lie, I was expecting a twist through most of it. So glad you played it straight.

[@FirithPanda]

Absolutely broke me. I was surviving the song but then "If you need a push, I'll be right there behind you!" absolutely pushed me over.

[@GeoldHunter]

Exactly the same spot for me

[@FiohSion-FFXIV]

I'm so glad that that part turned out so well! Thank you so much for watching!! ❤

[@loomingdeath1758]

I agree and remember this video comes from same person who made a squirrl god S O S G

[@MenrvaS]

Ardbert takes his "If you need a push" very seriously.

[@dameonlarouge4044]

Oh my god SAME--my heart 🤌🤌😭🔥💕

[@TiffanyLockheart]

I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU MADE HIM SING TO MY WARRIOR OF LIGHT??????????? HE ASKED ME FOR CLIPS AND YOU DO THIS? IM GOING TO STAY CRYING. 2:12 - 2:25 killed me ugh. Why are you like this? I'm so glad Ardbert is getting so much love lately.

[@vain_x]

My first reaction was " No way...is that?!?!" and the comment section confirmed it lol.

[@FiohSion-FFXIV]

Thank you so much for sending the clips!! It tied everything together so so well!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 😄

[@Bodrick_G]

OMG I thought I recognized her LOL

[@GamingFoodie]

Immediately recognized that WoL!

[@capper187]

At first, I thought this to be some sort collab you did. And on the surface, it would appear so. Though, personally, I feel it was more of a respectful love-letter to how much you care for Ardbert in the game. 🥰 The two of you now walk on... beyond the end... Blazing a trail towards a new dawn... together. 🤜🤛

[@ollaniuspius1211]

Those all-nighters were worth every bit of it, brother. May this song still bear its meaning to you throughout the rest of your life.

[@FiohSion-FFXIV]

It shall. Thank you so much for watching! I'm so thankful that my efforts were worth it! ❤

[@AmbrisiosDutchAD]

I love that The Primals confirmed this song is from Ardbert to our WoL's

[@FiohSion-FFXIV]

For sure! It was a wonderful bit of news! Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@FelbyIkendy]

this is so absolutely amazing but also how DARE you with the cut in of Ardbert partway through the song that made me cry

[@FiohSion-FFXIV]

That part took me a while to get to the right point! I'm so glad that it's being received well... Thank you so much for watching! ❤

[@duskfallmusic]

I just got married in game to my platonic partner, Endwalker pulled me the hell out of depression in the moment, and my partner. dragged me out further kicking. Great job :D

[@FiohSion-FFXIV]

@duskfallmusic Oh incredible! I enjoyed Endwalker so much, and this song especially!! I'm glad that you got support in your time of need! Sounds like an incredible partner 😄 Thank you so much for watching!!

[@quyra]

PTSD of a warrior of light singing LAHI just came back...

[@SummonxBeast]

The song is good and all until that I tried to get that one bloody fish... "YOU ARE STILL HERE" just stings to much for me...

[@PuffPlace]

Bruh. I thought I was FINALLY getting over the reflexive tears when I hear this song. NOW THIS. This is a lovely, serious tribute to the character, the song, the game and to other players. Thank you for making this 😭

[@FiohSion-FFXIV]

Gosh, thank you so much for saying so!! I'm so glad this is being received well, especially since it's so different than my other videos. Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️

[@tasha.j4de]

Can I just say that not only is your animation beautiful, you made such good use of the game's existing cutscenes! 😭 This filled me with so many tears and feelings and I'm just hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Truly took me back to the first time playing the game, and I'm currently in the middle of replaying SHB too so it feels like I got hit hard aaaaaaa excellent job with this!

[@FiohSion-FFXIV]

First playing through this part in-game was a game-changer for me, and had me fall even more in love with the game. I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much and that it turned out this well! Thank you so much for watching!!! ❤

[@cryssanie]

"Through you, we live" ... it's so obvious that it's an Ardbert song now that we know, and it makes it hurt even more than it did before, which I didn't consider possible as during my Endwalker MSQ playthrough I was bawling through the entire Ultima Thule 😭

[@FiohSion-FFXIV]

Yea that bit of news was shocking! Definitely puts it in a different perspective. Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

[@LadyofInsanity]

I recently finished Endwalker. I still cannot go to the final area for gathering purposes without my heart shattering. Probably still won't be able to for months. By the Twelve, this is beautiful and that cut-in brought tears to my eyes yet again.

[@FiohSion-FFXIV]

I'm so glad that cut-in is being received so well! It took me a bit to get it right! Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️

[@GearheadGeisha]

Girl do I have news for you. It's been 2.5, almost 3 years for me and this song STILL makes me cry! Especially now with the revelation that it was from Ardbert!

[@JDSleeper]

I'm happy to see a serious take on this come out first. This song deserves it. Well done.

[@FiohSion-FFXIV]

Thank you so much, and I totally agree! I love this song so much, and I'm so glad you enjoyed my take on it! ❤

[@Qunka]

Viewing this song through Ardbert’s perspective really made me realize: This song is about self love.

[@FiohSion-FFXIV]

Awwww, what a nice interpretation! I love it. Thank you so much for watching!

[@_sunspy]

This was amazing to watch. Marvelous work..i think i cried a little there

[@FiohSion-FFXIV]

Aaaaaaah, thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! ❤

[@rurukitty405]

"If you need a push, I'll be right there behind you." I didn't cry in EW, not until I got to that part. And I was like: "Bestie! Come back!" Ugly crying like a child for a good whole 10 minutes before I could calm down.😭😭😭

[@FiohSion-FFXIV]

It was a really emotional part for sure! I'm so glad that part resonated well with people ❤️ Thank you so much for watching!!

OMG PERFECT! EMET-SELCH VERSION PLEASEEEEEEEEEE PLEASE PLEASE

[@FiohSion-FFXIV]

Oh gosh! Emet-Selch singing would be so interesting! Replying to your comment about paying (if you're serious about it), I honestly haven't considered opening commissions just yet! I've no clue how to even price something like that tbh, but I'm doing some research and talking to some other animators about it! If I do decide to open something up, you'll know about it both on here in the community posts, and on Twitter! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

[@kyomuksn4083]

I love how Ardbet has a happy expression for most of the vid. It's a parting, but he's sending you off with a smile. A smile *sob* does *sob* indeed *sob* better suit a hero

It's definitely different from my normal silly fever dreams! I felt like I had to make this special. Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️

Thank you for such kind words! I'll keep doing my best and bringing my ideas (both silly and serious) to life!

This song keeps breaking me, and now the video made it worse T-T I shed so much tears to the end of Endwalker. And seeing the connection with Ardbert makes it so much more beautiful. I love this with all of my heart!🥰

I enjoyed Endwalker so much! This song hit me in the biggest ways making it. Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

So beautiful. I have a hard time hearing, especially in Ultima Thule. So getting to listen and understand the lyrics. Mean while Ardbert, doing his best to keep pushing us forward. I shed many tears, thank you for the video.

It's a fair point! He's a part of us now after all. This bit of news about Ardbert being the one singing it was actually revealed at a recent Primals concert! It was a shocking bit of news, that I had to animate! Thank you so much for watching!!

[@Vokcas01]

@FiohSion-FFXIV well if you think about it, it does make sense. The first has shown people are identical, this would also mean voices.

[@TheMaxCloud]

this reminds me of that Justice League episode when Batman sings to save Diana from that pig spell. And everyone in the room starts crying because of how beautiful he sings for some reason.

[@lens_hunter]

It took me like two weeks after finishing 6.0 to not cry whenever I was in Ultima Thule.

I can't not stress this out on how beautiful this came out. I've been watching this on repeat. This song hit me pretty hard when I hit when I was dealing with stuff. I went thru the story and wasn't expecting my friends to show up at the end. I cried pretty hard without understanding myself. You're friends were right, you did amazing work. It's also adorable this was your first dance as a married couple. It's a great song. Be confident and give yourself more credit! ❤

Never would've imagined they'd confirm it was Ardbert's PoV but so glad they did, it restructures and changes the song in such a big way when you know it's coming from him, absolutely amazing. Thanks for making this. :D

[@FiohSion-FFXIV]

It was an honor to make it! Thank you so much for watching, and yes! It definitely changes the perspective when you know Ardbert is singing it! ❤️

I was holding it together until > "If you need a push, I'm right there behind you." and then I just fucking *broke.* 11/10.
