The Far Cry 6 Story Was SHOCKINGLY Great!

Far Cry 6 story was surprisingly really good. The writers attempted to keep things consistent from the previous entries but also tried not to make the game an exact copy and I believe they succeeded, and today I would like to share my personal thoughts with the story.

Anton Castillo's story was beyond phenomenal. Diego's conflict and relationship with his father was great. The protagonist was pretty good too. However, the actual Allied faction was formulaic and very uninteresting.

[@AndrewWoodsX9]

ok, at first i was pretty shocked by that ending and upset with the lack of choice that has been a mainstay in most farcry endings (ie: FC3, FC4, FC: ND) but after watching your video a couple times and seeing all those important cutscenes again, it's clear now that Diego did give his father a definitive answer during the dinner table Truth or lies scene before claras murder. Anton created Diego for the sole purpose of continuing his vision after his death, when he asks Diego if he is going to fufill his duty - Diego responds with "Truth or Lies?" and Anton says "truth of course" but thats the moment when Anton finally gets a real answer from Diego. it means it's over. If Diego really was going to uphold his duty to Anton, He would have just said "yes sir" but he didn't. He looked his dad dead in the eye and said basically do you want me to lie to you or do you want me to tell you the truth that theres no way I'm continuing your dictatorship.

[@CallMeLevels]

You can also see this divide in the beginning boat scene where Diego doesn’t want to hurt the fleeing people. He express his concern for the people and his father shuts it down

[@octogorb9853]

or because the people of the Revolution would not take kindly to his son whatsoever and they would probably still harm him making his life so, so much worse.

[@Hauerization]

What shocked me about the end was how little the rebel leaders gave a shit about a kid lying dying on the floor- instead they instantly started bickering with eachother and looting the place. While theres a kid dying on the floor. This left an extremely sour taste in the mouth and made me feel bad for hanging with all those characters to begin with. It made we wish there was an alternative to tell them all to go to hell, but no - instead the game ends with an epilouge were you get buddy-buddy with Juan Cortez. Absolutely tonedeaf writing.

[@FraserSouris]

@@Hauerization I think that was the point (minus the epilogue. I agree that was tone deaf). In Far Cry 6's story, a common motif was that Clara brings up that "taking down Castillo is just the first step. We gotta rebuild and heal Yara afterwards. That's the hard part". Clara is also the only other person that gets why Dani cares for Diego. She even brings that up as a reason for how they should coexist. That Diego isn't the enemy. Hell, even Anton technically isn't really their end goal. It's freeing and improving Yara. Basically, Clara is the heart and soul of Libertad and the only person that sees the humanity in their mission. Even Juan brings this up. That Clara is "the opposite of Juan" and that there are "way too many Juans, Antons and even Danis in the world. But there will never be enough Claras". That's why Juan even does his illegal trading away from everyone, including Clara. Because he knows that would ruin Clara's reputation. When Clara dies, the heart of Libertad died with her. Yeah, Libertad is still strong and skilled and smart. But they now lack the compassion and vision of Clara. In the ending, Dani sorta realizes this. When only he (and technically also Lucky) cared for Diego, Dani saw that Libertad now lacks the heart and compassion to truly improve Yara like how Clara would have done. That's why he rejects the offer to be the leader despite the support of everyone. Because Dani has the self-awareness to see he isn't much better than the other leaders of Libertad, and he sure isn't close to being Clara. The ending effectively is bittersweet in the sense that yeah, Libertad did win, but without Clara as the leader, things are less likely to really improve (I mean, they weren't guaranteed to improve even when Clara was alive. Clara herself admits to that. But the odds were still better at least).

[@Hauerization]

@@FraserSouris Your making good points, well thought and well put. Bitterwseet is a common theme amongst the FC-ending (FC 5 ending might be my personal favourite, were the gamer potentially ends up the equivalent of the antichrist according to somes scholars, very interestiong take). The problem with Far Cry 6 is that I wasnt sure if the character were intentionally ridiculous or if it just was due to poor writing skills. And when its not clear, you have a problem as a storyteller.

[@Luey_Luey]

"You want her to live, you will accept the rank of General in my army. You will be my hope, my legend, my Dani Rojas!" I'm curious what people thought about this bit, it felt like it came a little out of nowhere. Though the imagery with Dani already being in an army uniform when she is given this "offer" is cool, but the whole idea is discarded moments later

[@sarahluise3153]

It's not really something Dani was ever gonna accept. Anton was desperate and grasping for straws (and as we see from that scene alone he does that a lot. First with Viviro then with Diego) Anton doesn't always have a good grasp on reality either. Hell it took Diego for him to realize Dani is the true reason for Libertad's success and there's a whole scene where he basically plays Hitler and Speer, redecorating his capital as it burns around him

[@Nanoqtran]

It feels like it might have been played out of order. The 2nd part of the mission and the ending focus on how the leaders aren't following libertad but instead Dani's leadership. This would mean that if Dani were to switch sides there was a possibility of having the other leaders follow. It's weird that Anton is the first to bring it up only for the other to end up saying it afterwards...

[@theKrabs_11]

I love how the cutscenes are third person, it helps us relate and empathise with Dani more than if every cutscene had a disembodied voice. Third person cutscenes always tell me that the main character does matter in this story, to the player and to people around her. If we never saw Dani’s face it would be harder to empathise and care for her, first person cutscenes make me feel like the main character, which I really don’t like. I don’t want to see everything through the eyes of the protagonist, because it’s their story. We shouldn’t always see what they see because we’re not the ones going through it, we aren’t there being kidnapped by pirates and cultists

[@memecliparchives2254]

There should be an option for first person or third person cutscenes.

[@Etheral101]

Yeah I hate first person cutscenes. Tge greatest characters and stories in gaming have all been third person. Cyberpunk would have been so much better in third person.

[@Lamtitude]

@@Etheral101 I disagree. If it’s a first person game, the cutscenes should be in first person. It breaks the immersion when a fps suddenly goes into a cinematic 3rd person cutscene. It completely changes the vibe.

[@minecraftgravityguy]

It depends on the game and the vision/ideas they want to tackle. Halo has had 3rd person cutscenes, far cry has always had first eprson since at least 3, it’s even less of a problem if there is an option, but no case is bad inherently.

[@thejallenator5722]

I would slightly disagree. I’d say the choice of perspective depends on the character. With Dani we are in no position to empathise so the third person works, making them their own character. However with say Jason Brody I feel first person works as we can empathise more with Jason as we the player go through the same journey. We both start as powerless in a strange foreign land we don’t understand but grow to be a battle-hardened and bloodthirsty warrior in tune with the island. I’ll also say with the characters first person is an easy way to build connection, I mean you straight up make eye contact with the other characters. You experience these characters in a way comparable to normal human interaction. Any interactions a character had with Jason felt more personal as they looked into my eyes and when they spoke to me. Tl;Dr: First Person can work best when the player goes on a parallel journey with the character and helps to establish a more personal connection with the characters around the protagonist. Also Far Cry 3 is still a great game.

[@henrik9030]

I really didnt like that Diego never really made his choice. I was soooo curious. And also that the player couldn't choose. I think there could have been like choice to kill Antón or not, and who to give yara to. So there could've been 4 ending + the secret. Beside that, i loved the Antón's cutscenes, and it always felt like a reward for finishing a bigger mission.

[@Ricardo_Rick]

Indeed, i hated that he needed to die, the ending was not as good to me, it just lacks the "good feeling", we climb the tower, see the boy we tried to save die, don't even have a chance to kill anton, leave yara to the factions and go away, there is no post game change, nothing, the world stays exactly as it was, except now some times a region gets taken back

[@ScoutTrooperMan]

@@Ricardo_Rick to be fair he would die either way the yaran rebels pretty much would want to see the kid's head be mounted on a pike rather than let him live. hell one of the rebels tells diego to kill himself as if it would save them the trouble of them killing him, so i guess its better to die at the hands of your father whom despite may have used you an extension of yourself still probably loved you to a degree than it is to be mounted in a pike because some communas want to show whos the head honcho in town which essentially just proves they are just as worst as anton

This ending sadly felt empty af, Bembe never appeared again (despite his relation with Dani's escape from Yara), the game made me think Clara or Juan were building up to be antagonists but Clara became a Martir and Juan became something like Dani's bff even tho he got Clara killed, neither Alejo or Lita got a proper burial even after the main story, Mckay's death doesn't have any impact on the story, Espada's brother never appeared again, there were no further details about Jonron's brother and his relationship with Yelena, that Guerrilla Diego punches doesn't have any relevance. Man i could go on and on, the game was fun and the story was enjoyable, but the ending was just a bumer A few days after finishing the game, I kinda made my peace with it, I just wished that Dani showed more emotion, it felt out of character for her just to accept Juan got Clara killed and didn't cared about Diego dying on Dani's arms, other than that, Dani walking away was a good move ("Yara is yours") but I wished we got to see her actually walking away from the revolution (All the characters she cared about died, she's seen enough or something like that) before saying something like "I got a few loose ends in Yara" so it leads to the player finishing the game and you know. I would really love that Ubi stops making the MC gender a choice, it kinda ruins the way the rest of the characters percieve Dani, same happened with Eivor to me tbh

[@pressrepeat2000]

Great insights, I completely agree. There were too many loose ends when we had some huge build up and were just let go. They must have run out of budget and time because the setups for these were so clear and interesting.

I think it's interesting that in the truth or lies scene Anton agrees that Clara is telling the truth when she calls him a monster and then right before he kills Diego he asks Dani if she'll protect Diego from the monsters. I wonder if that was intentional.

[@pashtery6765]

wowww thats insane

[@pressrepeat2000]

It’s intentional and just shows how great the writing was here for those who paid attention. Anton previously talks about how the previous guerillas who killed his dad treated Anton (terribly), who was just a kid at the time. The “monsters” were the other guerilla leaders there with Dani. And he knew what they’d do to Diego.

As much as most characters are shown to be understanding (other than Juan), I can understand why Anton would kill Diego. He knows that if they get their hands on Diego there's a really high chance they will kill him or do even worst things to him. Granted when Anton was a kid, they didn't kill him, but after Antons return to rule Yara, the revolution won't keep another young Castillo alive, so they would kill him. At least that's what I've gathered.

Thats not to say you can't enjoy it as I loved FC3's game play loop and much of story too and the surrounding discourse didnt taint the experience for me -- FC4 just seemed more narratively grounded and less full of itself (not to say it's not wacky or a flawless story either), it knew what it was setting out to accomplish and came closer to the mark.

One character brought down the whole story, and that was Juan. It wouldn't have been as bad if the character was able to (quite literally) tell him to fuck off, but despite going against Juan several times, we just accept that "ahh I see me when I look in your eyes". We defend Diego on more than on occasion when Juan would have just killed him, and yet we are still apparently Juan's protégé. The ending was the icing on the cake, with both Anton and Diego dead with Dani just content to split, Yara is left with a bunch of unstable lunatics at the helm - much like in Far Cry 4. Unlike your perspective, I don't see a lot of redeeming qualities in the other characters. Philly was fun, but beyond that they're all horrifically immature and emotionally unstable. I enjoyed a lot of parts of this game, but the ending absolutely killed any like I had for it. It's also very..."because video game" that Anton is suddenly so sick.

The last two missions made me hate Juan. I think he does care about Libertad and Yara. I think he's selling viviro to raise money for the cause. But I think he just enjoys the violence too much to care about the moral grey or the people who get caught in the crossfire. And he assumes we're just like him. That's why he accuses us of saving Diego to keep the war going. He assumes we just want to keep fighting, he can't understand that we might actually sympathize with Diego. He's so blind to Dani's actual feelings that the first thing he does upon entering Anton's office, is walk right past the dead Castillo's and a devastated Dani and steal one of Anton's Cigars, all with a look of smug satisfaction on his face. Juan and Dani are a lot alike. But Juan is projecting aspects of himself onto Dani that just aren't there...

It felt like Juan was being set up as a villain in some type of twist, but then they ran out of budget and didn’t pursue that idea. The setup was there.

Its sad that u missed the motivation part.

Has no real plan, doesnt know where she belongs and what she actually wants. And fighting for the revolution is actually soemthing she is good at and over time actually enjoys...till the point where she also becomes a little bit crazy, just like Juan Cortez.

[@davidknightx]

The interview by the American reporter was one of the best written scenes I've seen in any game. Up until that point, you honestly knew very little about Anton. But in one short scene, they reveal SO much! They tease the identity of the mother (who you still don't know, but they dropped a hint), his back story about being enslaved himself, how he cared for his mother who taught him (notice the boy responds with "He's a a great teacher" showing Anton has continued this tradition) and his absolute indifference to what he's doing to his people for what he sees as the greater good. But then the reporter drops how he still has the blade from his enslavement. She's telling him how she knows why he keeps it (to never forget the suffering he endured) while confronting him about that he's doing the exact same thing. But the best part was were he did the most frightening thing a cruel dictator could do when you confront him...he made an excellent point. Specifically, about how America got its start and what it continues to do (all absolutely true). He made a great point about how we really don't care human about suffering (see where chocolate comes from, iPhones, etc.). The whole scene was chilling. Whomever wrote this had some series balls to throw this into the face of the very Americans playing this game. Up until that point, the player is the reporter; disgusted by the cruelty. It's a bitter pill to swallow to be forced to look into the mirror and be reminded why this county has all the nice things it does. And to cap it off, the ending was the best part. Because without even threatening the reporter, he showed her who really has the power and she'll take from him just like everyone else. Even better, the boy is the one who gives it to her. And we as the audience know, the boy is actually sympathetic to her pain.

I played Far Cry 6 about a year ago now, due to it having free play days, and I have to admit, I was enjoying for the most part, until the end. When I first experienced it, I believed I had gotten the bad ending. Maybe it was because I had killed too many people or I had made a bad choice in the past, but I then learned that there were only two endings for the game, the secret ending and the ending we get where Anton kills Diego. Which I'll be honest left me quite unsatisfied, as I kind of felt like we'd been through so much struggle and death for this revolution only to have it end in even more death and the end of a bloodline, which is why I believed I had got the bad ending. I will say that I did enjoy two of the territories. However, Talia and Poalo were the ones I didn't really enjoy, I understand that their missions were more about the propaganda part of the revolution, but I just didn't enjoy them. However, my favourite section was probably helping the Legends with El Tigre, I honestly think I had a smile on my face all the way through those missions. Overall, Far Cry 6 isn't a terrible game, as many people have stated. But I also don't think it's the best either. Anton was a good villain, and Giancarlo Esposito did amazing work, also side note, I think he even stated interest in doing another game for Ubisoft as he enjoyed working on Far Cry 6, so I hope we see him return in a different game or something. For me personally, I think Far Cry 6 is about.... 6 maybe 7/10.

Juan sums it up when he tells Dani “once a guerilla, always a gorilla”. They knew it was likely she would have the fire lit to earn her boat. It is right on the money with the fighter mentality. Well written.

[@lukethelegend9705]

*guerilla

[@Steph-sk3xb]

There’s some good philosophy behind the story of this game. You see Diego starting to understand his father because of the revolutionaries violent acts as much as you see what they endure and understand their issue. Point being, violence begets violence and it’s hard to see who the good guy is or if there is one.

[@pepergirl001]

I like Juan and all but I agreed with Dani, he really shouldn't have shot at Diego. Maybe Clara would still die but I am pretty sure his shot basically spelled a death sentence for Clara and even Dani, if not for the fact that Dani is the protagonist. I really wanted to save Diego, but well...anyways it was a really good and fun game

I'll never get over Jonron dying off screen like that I wasn't ready.....Two of the best characters gone like that

[@lhays117]

I'm glad I'm not the only way who felt this way. I think saying the story was REALLY good is overselling it a bet, but I definitely thought it was better than FC5's storyline was. Anton Castillo is right up there with Vaas and Pagan Min IMO and the dynamic with his son was quite compelling. I also did like most of the cast of supporting characters with a few exceptions to some of the rather cringy/irritating ones. Also, even though the game didn't reinvent the far cry formula by any means, it definitely did perfect it. That said, they definitely should shake things up more in the next entry at this point and risk trying something radically different gameplay-wise.

[@M0b1us_118]

I also love how the game felt way longer than Far Cry 5. Granted it did take me a month to finish it.

[@Rodoadrenalina]

just a note, the island is MA-Dru-gada, means early morning. Also I think Diego is a victim but history has shown that even if they leave him alive in exile, the past will catch on and could become what his father wanted

[@kudomango8157]

Except that had no bearing on why he was killed. Only Dani saw that Diego could be saved. Anton's experience of being imprisoned by the guerillas of the past revolution convinced him that particular history would just repeat and so he chose to spare his son from what the guerillas would do to him.

[@theskullboy8700]

Great vid though I would also like to point out the dramatic irony in Anton’s main weapon. Behind its engravings and gold plating it is very much an m1911. A pistol used by the United States not only in WW2 but also the Vietnam war. The ladder taking place in the same era as the Cuban missile crisis. It’s ironic because he lectured about America’s mistakes and consumer attitudes, yet uses a weapon not only from the US but one that saw service in an equally distasteful conflict. Only made worse considering it’s furnishes that some may consider distasteful

[@garretwoeller7669]

I really love Everything this story did in regards to how it's told the missions on the Maxima's questline was pretty fucking cringe and also dragged on too long but the other two questlines and the final act was fucking phenomenal truly a well told story especially.

Different regions, responsible for different areas of the overall ecosystem/production with different leaders. While, this is cool, it just reminds me of the formula done in Ghost Recon Wildlands, which just further enhanced your point of Ubisoft blurring the lines between their games.

[@resspawn26]

"Dani wasn't at the wrong place at the wrong time - she was born at the wrong place at the wrong time" - this is where you completely missed the point, since fc6 does have same idea here as in other parts (I don't blame you though, because the story isn't nearly as good as you've painted it): The important thing is, whole game story lasts nearly half a year. Now, remember what Anton said? His medicine had stopped working half a year ago, about the same time when Dani joined Libertad. That's why Diego says that its her fault - without Dani, guerrillas would've never succeeded, but without medicine Anton would die on his own, so if Dani would simply leave, Anton would've quickly perished, and Diego would take control and eventually stopped tyranny since he obviously does not like his father's methods. So in the end, Dani's actions result in more blood and destruction that could be avoided if she would decide to Just Walk Away.

[@lonesn1per]

Loved the game and just beat it last night. You actually meet Aton 4 total times. Intro, when he tortures you, when you go to his mansion and the final meeting. Juan and the "smuggler" in the post credit scene had me screaming! I want to know more about that now.

I was actually sad when el tigre died. The most emotion i have felt in any far cry game since 3.

I like how everyone pronounce José correctly, but just pronounce rest of the names in American/British accent lol. But it’s not all criticism. You retell and analyse the story very well, and I especially like that you don’t claim the smuggler being a previous antagonist, even though it’s hinted that way. That’s very professional!

[@JacobSeed_2018]

The story was good right up until Antón kills Diego. He had so much potential and I think they threw it away for shock value. We should’ve been given the opportunity to save him.

[@bigfatcrocodile3271]

the way i understood danis motivation change was that Dani (she also said that) had all the time in the world to go to the Americans, but wanted to help clara more for helping her, so after helping the ppl like the monteros with more time spent freeing yara she liked the idea of helping her home country get rid of its abuser more. So it snowballed from here

The overall theme of Far Cry 3 is adaptation you're thrown into a new environment and you're forced to adapt to survive you get to watch the character grow from this little boy scared shiftless as his military brother does all the work to a living weapon and all it took was the jungle to corrupt his mind and I haven't seen anyone look for a general theme for Far Cry 6 story-wise yet but I feel like the answer is corruption you get to see how the different factions have to do what's wrong to do what's right time and time again you see that the actions of your character lead to a darker path for those who you get involved with libertad.

[@zakaryrichmond396]

The montero family that was promised prosperity for their land and their people were lied to to get Castillo elected only for him to make them all slaves to viviro with the patriarch of the family corrupted by the poison that has taken over his land now on a death clock with his brother becoming corrupted in jail, the son switching sides and working with the people who enslave his land and the daughter who through your actions finally agrees to open the monteros walls to libertad breaking their families longest rule of no outside help because the last time the monteros put their trust In anyone Castillo took office

[@zakaryrichmond396]

The Maximus mantazas a couple who makes music just wanting to escape from Yara to place where they can be together without any worry of war in Yara with their innocent friend bicho and by working with this group you lead the girlfriend to have more and more extreme views on the country they live in until you have her on camera filling the head of culture in yara with bullets as you stand by and watch. the boyfriend attempts to leave just to get captured and see his girlfriend shot in front of him and while on a mission with him you see him murder one of Castillo's doctors stating that without men like him Castillo can't run the camps that torture his people men like him deserve to die and you just accept it and bicho seeing the cool person that you are wants to become a guerilla like you leading to a intense scene with him where he is trying to enact on these corrupt thoughts that you've put into his head and it goes the wrong way without you stepping in and pushing these people towards libertad they would have never become the violent corrupt people we see we push them to the side

[@zakaryrichmond396]

Finally I'll start with La moral they started as just kids protesting and handing out flyers and one day vanitas enters their classroom and caused them to the front one-by-one executing them in front of the entire class burning those names into yelenas head the violent acts done to these children corrupt them and make them violent it leads to them slitting throats in Mass at night they arent just killing they're violent and their leader is only 21 being forced to make a decision of whether her best friend and best gurilla gets to go free or the love of her life just for them to kill the boyfriend after. The corruption of the Legends comes from Lobo when they first fought the revolution of 67 it ended with Lobo wanting to take control of Yara and Rule it as the dictators had before the whole Revolution is prolific to our people was built on a corrupt Foundation where the Freedom Fighters were actually fighting for something they couldn't see coming even men with the best intentions on the outside can be corrupt when they have the power

[@zakaryrichmond396]

And lastly Anton and his son Diego a man with maybe a year to live desperately trying to find a cure while forcing life lessons and broken morals into his son before he can never see him again. The man sees people in 2 ways you can either be a lion or sheep the ruler and the ruled and if you can't stand up with the Lions you will find your place among the Sheep. Libertad is a cancer it grows inside one's own body causing damage as it grows larger and larger until eventually it overtakes the whole of your body killing you we spread our cancer through the different regions of yara as Castillo desperately tried to cure it with his violence but when you use a temporary solution to many times it doesn't work anymore much like viviro no longer protecting Anton from the cancer that's killing him Anton's preventative actions to stop a new Revolution from happening only pushes the revolution into existence had he not made Outkast camps there wouldn't be outcasts to liberate

With the ending credit scene ita clear that when the revolution won, nothing really changed, the drug is still being produced by yara, just new people in charge and another revolution to fight for juan, the cycle of violence repeats itself.

22:39 i definitely agreed with Dani in this scene. Juan's self serving rationalization of why Dani protected Deigo disgusted me, and still does. He's unable to see Diego as a person and couldnt seem to fathom that Dani could, and that he didnt deserve to die just gor being a Castillo. I hated that, aside from the breif dressing down from Dani in the scene, he gets no repercussions for trying to shoot a child and getting Clara killed. Yes, *he* got Clara killed. If he hadnt tried to shoot Diego, Anton wouldnt have put a bullet in her head
