The Answer to the Question | Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker Tribute

[@Lyu-Phy]

Holy cow. Endwalker was such a philosophical banger.

[@pumpkingamebox]

I just realized something. Zenos is the proof of Venat’s theory. It’s obvious that WoL, the scions and normal people would want purpose and life in this world of suffering and disaster. But if even a person so wicked as Zenos found a reason to live for, to die for. Then perhaps anyone can. If only Hermes had some more time and a little less despair.

[@Khontis]

Zenos wasn't really 'wicked.' He was, as he put it himself 'ambivilant' to... everything. It was all so menial and banal and just pointless... It was only when he met you and had that 'thrill of battle' and the feeling that someone was able to resonate with him that he found his reason. But this still maintains and emphasizes your point: Zenos just burned days completely uncaring about anything around him, unloved by his father, feared by his countrymen he had no reason to do anything. And then he found the "Answer" to the question that was of life. And he even tells it to Jullus, "Life's what you make it. what you do with it with your own meager existence."

@@Khontis well inciting torture of entire civilizations in hope anyone would grow spiteful enough to actually pose a threat to him is still something i would consider "wicked"

[@operaticandroid459]

@@Khontis That zenos guy was a man child with hard autism in a rich familiy. A villain with his own will, nothing more.

[@briandavion]

@@Khontis you if literally don't give a damn about morality that makes you evil. Zenos was evil. having a reason for being evil still makes you evil, not caring? STILL makes you evil

Ok that is some legit editing, nice job! This is launch trailer material

[@83917Michael]

The true trailer. This is what I need to send people to to understand, without too many spoilers. Thanks for making this.

[@MegaTurkeylips]

OUTSTANDING edit! I loved every second.

[@Anastasia_Blaze]

FFXIV tributes are one of my favorite contents

[@kamikishin]

Exceptional job! Venat was so very wise to not return to the Lifestream after her term as Azem. Like a true and virtuous friend, she forgave Hermes' momentary lapse in judgement--the events of our run through Ktisis Hyperboreia. Venat had to shoulder the burden of that knowledge, including The Meteia's Report and location. Were they aware, her fellow Ancients would only incorrectly exercise their autonomy. Following the creation of Zodiark, it was fortunate Venat was able to "advise" a fraction of the population to assist her ascension to Hydaelyn. Sundering the world and people into fourteen incomplete reflections all perpetually bound to their own wheels of Samsara directed only by Hydaelyn was the only way! If they knew the Meteia were likely responsible for The Final Days, the tempered denizens of Etheirys would have dispatched their Zodiark and put an end to the song before or after restoring the world as he was designed. Venat was right that everyone except herself could only improve through her fourteen-layered system of birth, life/suffering, death, and rebirth. If not for her millennia of bestowing The Echo to her champions, those misguided unsundered may have restored their chaotic world!

[@pumpkingamebox]

I disagree with you on so many things. I don’t even know where to start. And maybe I shouldn’t in the first place. This is just going to be another dumb argument on the internet.

[@kamikishin]

@@pumpkingamebox Disagree or argue all you desire. I see Venat as the true villain. You won’t change my mind.

[@pumpkingamebox]

@@kamikishin Sorry, I was sleepy when I read you comment last. And have misread it. Disregard my first comment. Lol

[@kamikishin]

@@pumpkingamebox no problem. Though you may be surprised at just how many people are fooled into believing Venat was right and a force of/for good instead of the truth that she is domination, manipulation, and suffering.

[@pumpkingamebox]

@@kamikishin I wouldn't go that far in disliking Mommy. I think she did well enough in taking care of the sundered world. But that she committed genocide against people who didn't want it, is indeed a fact. And I personally would rather live in the unsundered world, lol.

[@HezrouDhiaga]

[@Kraehenblut]

This is awesome! Very well chosen lines and imagery. I love the way you put this together, my fav tribute I have seen so far :)

[@ffxiv_chronicles]

FREAKING AMAZING. IM CRYING.

[@nonparelliperuna]

such a beautiful tribute to a beautiful game

[@StaticNEP]

How come this has nit much views ? This is amaizing job !!!!

[@Italiandanish]

wow really really really good video dude, criminally underviewed

[@Someone-dv7hw]

Endwalker to me is a portrayal of depression. Only the happy end felt hollow because ... because.

[@wanderingpaladin4927]

this game. THIS GAME.

[@oliverurbanik9647]

FF14 is no game any longer. Its a philosophical question about life. And a quite good one at that.

[@marcoslopez9582]

@@oliverurbanik9647 AMEN!

[@ChainedFei]

Moonlight sonata fits so well here.

This is great

A moment of true happiness can be worth a life of pain and suffering.. trust me.. I know..

[@rheanonjasmyne]

We LIVE to DIE, to LIVE AGAIN !

[@lelaa.9274]

This would make a great trailer for Endwalker :D

[@eldessia8826]

When I was 24...I asked my mother this very question. She told me I needed to be grateful for the life I've been given. She couldn't give me an answer though. She then proceeded to get me therapy, which did nothing to help with what I was suffering through. 14 years later, I get an actual answer. A proper answer. The irony of the game title isn't lost on me either. It's laughable how many people still think that videogames are meaningless and only for children.

[@Phyrior]

... Damn... this could have been a trailer...

[@RuneKatashima]

Yeah this looks more like a trailer than a tribute.

[@desdenova1]

Ow, my feelings, why did I click on this? I thought the last patch removed NIN's onion cutting ability, I was lied to...
