"Has it been Worthwhile?" With watering eyes and a smile bright, our Warriors of Light respond, "Yes. Every Step."

[@PhilnePorqupine]

The scene of Moenbryda's hug transitioning into her mom hugging Urianger destroyed me. Thanks!

[@pinksumo]

I must confess that it was heavily inspired by Amalzia's work! If you haven't seen her work, definitely go check it out!! It's SO GOOD!!

"For those I have lost. And for those I may yet save, I will muster the strength to take another step forward. And if a smile better suits a hero, then I will make that smile genuine. You ask if life is a gift or a burden. But I bear life as both. A gift I can share, and a burden that can challenge me." -Kia Fyrelite

[@thelittlemaiden]

"Has your journey been good?" Thank you. Thank you for capturing WoL's silent struggles, pain, and even loneliness. This brought a tear to my eye and reminded me of WoL's unwavering selflessness. ❤

[@pinksumo]

Thank YOU for the comment and view! It genuinely makes me so happy to know that the video moved you like that 🥰

[@A-Venti-Sized-Problem]

WHY MUST YOU USE YOUR POWERS FOR SUCH SWEET SUFFERING?! MY HEART QAAAAQ

[@pinksumo]

XDDDDD YOU'RE WELCOME ^u^

[@captainwodie2753]

Hate to double post, but I just gotta share my WoL's answers. "Is the world still beautiful?" "Absolutely." "Has your journey been good?" "Not always, if I'm honest." "Has it been worthwhile?" Direct eye contact, "Yes. Every moment."

[@AGB749]

Yes! I whole-heartedly agree with you, as does my WoL. This video just guts me every time, but I think it really captures the essence of the game. I’d gladly hand over a real award to the creator if I had one!

[@blazethecat363]

those would have been Ashelia's exact responses too

[@thyrussendria8198]

"Is the world still beautiful?" It is, and I intend to see all of it. "Has your journey been good?" At times the pain left me unable to stand, but my friends, who have become like family to me, helped me be strong. "Has it been worthwhile?" It was worth every wound and tear.

[@hank9112]

That was a perfect representation of the WoLs story to endwalker!

[@linksassy141]

THIS ACTUALLY MADE ME START SOBBING WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME. 😭 sobbing and wet sleeve aside, this could literally be a trailer for FFXIV....... IT'S SO GOOD!! It made me so emotional, I love Cas so much. Q-Q

THANK YOU!!! I'm glad it snagged the good reaction from you, I'm just sorry I couldn't hear it for myself x'DDDDD

[@sylverkat9488]

Got me, too.

[@ggmochie2615]

i dont even know the game, and i got hit with the feels too!

[@sorakey44]

Even in the darkest of hours, there is always that glimmer of light. Of hope. Reaching the end of that long road, given that time to reflect...I was reminded of a lot of the seemingly simple interactions, people you pass by daily as you craft or market, people you run into doing content or dailies. I found it oh so beautiful a reminder. Sometimes it's just nice to sit and watch the world go by. This video is so well done, from the choices of scenes and interactions...the words that made us stop and reflect...the pain of carrying such a heavy burden... "Has it been worthwhile?" "Yes. Every step."

[@pinksumo]

Thank you so, so much!! 🥺 I'm so glad this game and this video has had such an impact on you. FFXIV is kinda crazy beautiful!

[@sorakey44]

I'm so happy it could bring those feelings back for you, even at the cost of crying, haha!! The game is SO powerful in the way that it draws you in and I love it for that reason too! Thank you so much for the comment!!

Holy shit, thats basically a trailer for Heavenswards till Endwalker MSQ. Beautifully done btw.

[@pinksumo]

Thank you!!

[@rebelroxie3581]

Alright, first I just want to point out that back, well over a decade ago, I was one of the many that made amvs... I once had the name goddessyuna, but sadly that account no longer exists due to KZbin growing more strict with their guidelines. I then moved on to another account in which I have not been on in over 10 years, but I think the videos are still there. I share this detail because I, myself loved to make videos such as this one, and the editing appears simple but sometimes simple is all you need to pull off an amazing video that shares a story. Shares the emotions, one that could be felt through the quotes and emotions through said quote. And the song choice is perfect for all of it. Very impactful. Very powerful. You got my like. Heck, I'm even going to sub! ❤

[@pinksumo]

Awwwe, thank you so much!! And I'm sure, with as much as you loved making your own videos, that they were just as lovely and impactful! Thank you for putting your work out there for others to see and for having worked so hard on them!

[@rebelroxie3581]

@@pinksumo I wish I could go back to doing more, but I have no equipment for that anymore. Perhaps one day I will again. If you're, at all interested. The name I have most videos on is VioletEyedYuna.

[@killejack]

This has me in tears just by remember everything, we been through as the Warrior of Light, from the start when we just go to limsa/grindaia/ul'dar as a adventure to becoming the Warrior of Light, everytime i think back, i think back to all the good and the bad that has happened to the Warrior of Light

[@GamingFoodie]

Holy shit that was incredible. I'm actually sobbing crying right now. The transition from Moenbryda's hug to her mom hugging Urianger was perfect. Thank you for making this.

[@pinksumo]

Haha, thank you so much!! To you and your cat!

[@Kire667]

it's interesting how we all see the same story, yet from the perspective that we are the warrior of light. so that we all share in the journey. we are all deeply involved. i felt this concept was silly for most games. but here, with this game. it was perhaps the fight with Emet-Selch when I realized we are all the warrior of light from our own unique shard of a fragmented world. when 7 warriors are called forth to aid in the fight. They are from their own perspective a version of the warrior of light.

[@ryansmith495]

I know o commented before. But seeing the “is the future a beautiful place” after seeing the loss of 3 close friends made me 😢

[@smitus_hell7564]

that was very professionally done, reminds me of a hollywood movie trailer. brilliant work

[@pinksumo]

Awwwwe, thank you so much!!! I'm so sorry about the tears though, haha!

[@chaosrider2990]

This was so beautiful and perfect. I loved this. The editing and music just *chef kiss* It made me think of everything that we've been through as the Warrior of Light. Seeing their suffering. Their hardship and pain. Yet having the strength and perseverance to keep fighting even in the face of that sorrow. I can't tell you what this game has meant to me over the years. It is one thing that I'll likely never give up. It hurts, but it hurts so good. it's such a beautiful ride. Also that sound of sobbing is not my crying.. it's just a faulty air conditioner...

[@pinksumo]

This was SO SWEET to read!!! Thank you so so much for such a heartfelt comment! FFXIV holds such a special place in my heart too, that I was happy to finally give my WoL the moment he deserved. It took me TWO tries to get into this game, haha!! But I'm SO glad that something finally stuck. I've never been made to feel the things I've felt before in this game, and I'm genuinely so glad that you've felt the same way and enjoyed the video. That means everything to me!!
