[@benedictgg]

I swear this project is cursed. When I tried to render the first half of the animation, blender would crash every 10 frames. it's almost like there was an invisible force not wanting me to change Haurchefant's fate or something. The second half, however, was rendered without a single problem. I have never faced so many technical problems on a single project and I'm glad it's finally done.

[@AustyLaVista]

The fates truly were against him

[@reachinghigher4259]

Rendering this truly was your Dragonsong's Reprise [Ultimate]

[@issacehowardjr679]

And what a fine job you've done. 👍

[@mcstronghuge]

[@CcNuggetz]

Its a canon event.

[@corvette6100]

Didn't think i'd see Haurchefant say " A smile better suits a bitch" yet here we are

[@weirdestbudday5353]

I mean it was a dream

[@Nikgass]

And im sure ya all smiled on this moment

[@Zerif69]

​@SoAp1999xD I did more then just smile. Was in disbelief at first before laughing.

[@Kawatsume]

​@@NikgassHaurchefant did too

[@Art2D2]

I'm absolutely his bitch.

[@165bjl9]

I WAS CRYING FROM LAUGHTER BUT NOW I'M CRYING FROM A SHATTERED HEART

[@issacehowardjr679]

Same.

[@Khontis]

The sad thing is that I can see this happening for our poor WoL. Everyone turns on us, we flee to Ishguard and to the only allies that we can ask for help and then HW does one punch after another. Its a wonder the WoL isn't suffering from CPTSD at this point.

[@mithanelan]

Same. my poor WoL and her nightmares from this >.

[@Saihamaru]

we end up crying either way, damn it beneg

[@aura_xxx]

My tears won't stop omg :"(

[@LuchaLLibro]

"I did everything right...everything that was asked of me and still. *Still* it came to this."

[@MomberyMochi]

It never gets any easier to watch.... The wound in my heart refuses to heal

[@Pyre]

Its been, what, 7 years? 7 years, and *none* of us are okay still. For all the trouble you had making this, you managed to completely capture the entire playerbase's feelings in a single animation. Well done. I'll be over here crying.

[@Nempo13]

Oh, I still have that shield on my paladin. 7 years and shield bashing enemies as my last hit with his shield is STILL satisfying revenge.

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

There is two characters that the Warrior of Light canonically just can't get over running into, if I recall the Endwalker spoilers, and having it be Nael Van Darnis in the Coils and Hauchefaunt is probably as fitting as it'll ever get.

[@Michael-qk7cs]

HW came out in 2015. It's been almost a decade lmao

[@bentwomey384]

I swear I’m not just trying to be edgy but I genuinely can’t understand how people are sad about that scene. Was I supposed to give a shit about Haurchefant? The game certainly didn’t give me any reason to. Bitch is lucky I even remember his name.

[@Chazzy0x0]

I'll be real, with how Haurchefant was forced onto us as characters it 1 made me instantly be like "okay this guys going to die" and 2 due to how fast it all happened and because it didn't feel very organic, it really didn't feel like that big of a deal. Oh look a guy we met a few weeks ago died, so sad anyway. Honestly I wasn't even a big fan of Papalymo but his death got me real sad. Much more of a build up but I will admit I started in Gridiana so that probably helped.

[@theglitchhh]

Only BeneG is able to turn the most wildest of shitpost ideas into heart wrenching drama in a matter of seconds.

How in the FUCK did this happen?

[@tristenpope8471]

Can I just say I love Estinien just smiling while everyone else is shocked at what happened? Perfectly in character.

[@Everlarke]

And this, my friends, is the exact moment where sprout White Mage decided to lay down her cane and take up her sword as a Dark Knight. The wheels of Justice having failed, we now needs take the reigns.

[@Thessalin]

She must become what she must... she will become... the Warrior of Darkness!

[@igarshi457]

Similarly my white mage took in black magic and mixed them becoming a red mage

[@draw2097]

Nah they pick spear instead

[@Axioanarchist]

I leveled Paladin up through this point in HW. This was the last dungeon I did before switching to Dark Knight which has been my main class ever since.

[@pinkcupcake4717]

Dark Knight's story is so good when Uldah is fresh, and this just fuels it even more. The more horrifying heartbreaks and infuriating mistreatments the WoL faces before picking up that job crystal, the stronger the story hits (imo.)

[@MoonlightWolfAMVGaming]

Welp. Now I feel even MORE bad for the poor sprout

[@Crusina]

I hope years from now they remake the "After you help a new sprout beat "The Vault" but instead of the DRK Vet, it's the WHM who's now a vet.

[@kimaclaret]

​@@CrusinaI was just thinking, there's a DRK arc incoming for her.

[@Rafael64_]

Legend say if you run Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate) and get the Infirmity debuff from the lance, If you are a healer there is additional sentence in the tooltip saying: "There's nothing you could have done." Tried to backtrack the video where I heard it, but I cannot find it anywehere. Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me.

[@RedHeadedAuthor]

Same. I ran with a group of sprouts a few days ago who were doing the Vault for the first time and I was just like...."oh you're going to be in so much pain...." (It's even worse if they run with duty support since he's the tank the whole way through and giving you words of encouragement)

[@Blitzwaffen]

​@@Rafael64_That's a story that originates before the Ultimate, from when you do the stack mechanic in Thordan EX.

[@bromanguy]

This is the kind of shit Fordola saw in you with Echo and wondered how the fuck you deal with all that and don't break. Good shitpost turned into solid story, very impressive.

[@sable7571]

Imagine Fordola witnessing that at the end of Shadowbringers, or even Endwalker. It would be enough to just full-on snap her in half

[@EAFSQ9]

tbh I kind of want to see more story with Fordola. Especially how she got it and how it changed her.

[@mainman879]

@@EAFSQ9 Minor spoilers but the EW role quest for Healer is basically all about Fordola.

[@RoboChocobo]

@@EAFSQ9 It's an under-appreciated character aspect. The false-echo forcing a (painful) kind of empathy on a woman so divided from the world around her is a choice poetic irony.

[@crowdemon_archives]

@@RoboChocobo and this is why one does not just... replicate an Echo from anyone without understanding what it entails, much less getting it from someone like Krile. 🙃

[@bewolf16]

Lol, I love how accurate the scene at 0:53 is to the original rapper video. Even Alphie running in front holding his head with the mouth open, literally made me cry. It's just perfect.

[@2Shiba]

​@@jderekwastakenGet his name right. It's S U P A H O T F I R E

[@johnr888]

The snapping back to the real world, as the sprout double blinks, is just ... haunting ...

[@Can_O_Crayola]

I like how everyone is horrified by Haurchefaunt just decimating Thordan, but Red-Estenien is totally happy about witnessing violence

[@commandopengi]

In the MSQ, Estinien is always ready to commit violence if the opportunity presents itself

[@SubduedRadical]

Yeah, Estinian's smirk while everyone else is shocked/horrified was hilarious.

[@Neoansho]

Name one time where Estinien isn't happy because he's the one committing the violence?

[@Spartan135]

Estiniens mind works like: Violence isn't the answer,it's a question. And the answer is: YES!

[@Harada_Ai]

I have seen it's a foreshadowing because real Haurchefant would not kill Aymeric's father casually.

[@bainbonic]

Never thought I'd get the emotional damage from eye movements alone but damn, that final shot.

[@GBS4893]

The closest the camera is from a character's eye, the more empathy it generates This is why when we want the public not to be too invested we have the victim die from afar, while when we want them to empathize we zoom on the eye like this. Think about it while watching movies and you'll notice it

[@dullahandan4067]

looking for answers and finding none

[@sindlee6393]

This hit me so hard. Because I am also a powerless WHM in this cutscene.

[@tacticool3]

[@mark0183]

I literally had to make a miqote just for that

[@Toffeehammer]

It'd be fun if she changed to a "darker" job after this. BLM, DRK, RPR or something. Why bother with healing when your bestie dies in front of you etc? There's potential for a whole miqo'te sprout character arc here.

[@ThoraninC]

@@Toffeehammer That's the way I play lol, I play WHM up until that point. But queue kinda slog so I play WAR. My character would use rage instead of darkness edgy lmao.

@@overseerpjoe9477 The Eden bosses are Ryne recreating them from WoL memories. It's not a direct parse of WoL's memories, it's Ryne trying to interpret what she's seeing/feeling.

the amount of attention to detail you put into these is amazing. How the sprout healers eyes move near the end you can tell shes thinking a thousand things a second

Fun fact: In the Inn room of the The Forgotten Knight, there are bottles already there. I think he did move some but there are a lot there by default. Even on the floor if I remembered correctly.

[@kiriuxeosa8716]

[@RawrieLynn]

@@kiriuxeosa8716 they changed the Vault. They made it so Alphinaud tries to heal Haurchy, but the magic from the attack prevented the wound from healing, so Haurchy bleeds out. You can check out the new cutscenes in the Unending Journey book at inns.

Naw. I love G’raha to death but Hauchefant came through and believed in you when you were a literal fugitive. He stopped at nothing to make sure you could become the famed hero you had yet to be. Without him, your story wouldn’t have grown to the point where people made a whole time travel project for Raha to save you. Edmont wouldn’t have written your story to be passed down.

Good to see I'm not the only ones whos character experiences nightmares of failure. For my WOL they remember reaching out to Edda in the deep croft, reaching out a hand to snatch them from the edge only to miss unwilling finger tips by inches. The smell of burning wedding dress and burning skin, wet eye filling with gladdened despair. Her body plummeting as a blaze to the uncaring rock below like a forsaken comet. All the fanfare deafened as a single life slips through such praised fingers. The great vaunted hero and the broken corpse they stand upon like uneven stones. And the bodies of those all too willing to lay their lives down for them. A single death growing into a parade of corpses, their weight pushing the hero forward less they too fall among the mass.
