"My Star" (Ending Song) - Final Fantasy XVI

I had to actively stop myself from breaking down in tears so many times as I was recording this. I kept picturing the ending sequence playing to this beautiful song.
Having grown up with the FF series, I can’t express how much this game meant to me. It's all I've been thinking about since finishing the game, and now it feels like there's an empty void and I'm sad it's over, but I'm happy I got to experience it. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this way after playing a Final Fantasy game (with the exception of FFXIV and FF7R) probably since FFX (which was over 20 years ago oh god), and it makes me so optimistic for the future of the series. Seeing so many who are new to FF games enjoy 16 also makes me incredibly happy. To me, this game felt like a love letter to all the Final Fantasys that came before it. Thank you Square Enix and Creative Business Unit III for absolutely nailing it!!!!

"The world's yours now. Yours to do with as you please. That's what Cid wanted. That's what they *both* wanted."

And he says it with that voice break. Bruh why am I crying just by reading the comment.

[@reshaykut]

"My 56-hour FFXVI journey came to an end today. Whenever i start playing a final fantasy game, i never want to these beautiful journeys end. Because each final fantasy game is unique to me. There is so much to say about the game. The characters and story are brilliantly written, the battles are breathtaking, the level designs are stunning, and oh, all those epic Masayoshi Soken soundtracks since 14, it's a pure work of art by Naoki Yoshida." Deserves Game of the Year award more than anything. I still can't get the ending of my head. Whole game was such a unique experience for me and this song hits so hard... How amazing cover is this? Hope every like to this video anwers Jill's prayers.. You're not alone Jill. 🥺💔🥀🥀 Thanks.

[@dayadabu3028]

The first time I cried at the end of a video game in about 7 years… 😅

Hauntingly beautiful. Not only gave me chills after completing FFXVI, but it gives me nostalgia reminders to older games and anime like Lunar: Silver Star Story. Absolutely love your rendition, thank you!

Pretty sure Clive survived anyway

[@SylDragonia]

Sadly final fantasy love their tragic endings. But still worth remembering. 10,15 still make me truly cry till this day

[@MinimalxEffort]

So happy for this cover, and right after I finished the game. Wonderfully done.

[@PeaLeaf]

Thank you!!! It was sucha beautiful game T_T

Oh boy here come the waterworks

[@XianR119]

That was fantastic. I finished the game yesterday and I feel a minor void in my life atm and have been listening to FFXVI Osts

[@mahihkan3592]

God this shit melts my heart everytime i hear this song i tear up all the time. you did an amazing job I really love how this final fantasy is really bringing the community together touching everyones heart in one way or another. man what a game but until i know the truth imma believe clive makes it back to jill and they do live happily ever after in a world of peace.

The scene absolutely wrecked me. Ive never played a game that made me feel so much.

[@Mr.MacMan]

Same man. I was not expecting this. I’ve never cried from a video game this much. I balled and was crushed at the end. It still hurts and I’ve beaten the game days ago.

[@fahriza88]

Yess, I've been waiting for this ❤ thank you Pea ❤

[@Tomlechti]

This song ... heartbreaking ... What a magnificent interpretation you've given us ... The tears I shed at the end of the game when I saw this scene come back to me as I listen to you ... You've gained a new subscriber

@@ayuselasih6019 Really...? I thought it is different

[@stonefantasy2012]

​@@ayuselasih6019I just finished FF16, I can say you are wrong, Eng version is different from Jap version. Japanese version has a Japanese song from 米津玄帥 in the ending scene, instead of "My star".

[@kaedeharakazuha582]

I already cried so much when I heard Clive crying so bad because if Joshua's death and after we saw their history together... and this song with Jill crying and torgal crying to the moon gave me the rest... I am still hoping that Clive is alive because I love him, I don't want him to be dead after this 😭😭💔

[@St4rTr3v1Ut10n]

I wanted to like this song, but I just can't. The hook is good, catchy, but that's all. There's no discernible verse or chorus, there's just.. "singing." Be honest, are any of you ever going to catch yourself humming any other part of this song besides the opening?

@@jefm3598 tell me how can you please ff fans?? do a turn based game?? or make it more action focused like GOW and dark souls??? or the 4 player party like FFXV and 7 remake?? the gameplay had to be like this or you wouldn't have gotten this story, also it is very similar to the beloved XIV. honestly most haters are the ones who hate on anything new and worship everything old even if it has major flaws.
