The Final Day | FFXIV Endwalker Ending Reaction!

[@Reycied]

WoL: "It's time for the enrage phase!" Endsinger: "For me, right?" WoL: *grins* Endsinger: "F-...for me, right?!"

[@Mr9TalesFox]

Venat: You need to pass trial first. Alisaie: Wait you can't do this alone. Zenos: I just assumed you already won. Oh well lets finish it my friend. Zenos have more faith in WoL than his friends. XD

[@nebjar9321]

I swear that's why i love Zenos so much that he would almost be close to Emet-tsundere. Fly to end of the universe to ask Who's this bitch and why ain't she dead yet.

[@Fransens]

"A Flower." Without fail, this line has me crying 100% of the time no matter how many times I watch people play this part or watch a replay of it myself. Godsdammit it's just too good.

[@MaxJahner]

Ha! It's why I'm here. I'm binging the feelings that is the end of Endwalker for the 90th time. Nice finding more streamers with VODs up on KZbin since the last time I delved.

[@momhatjeff]

That coupled with Meteion's reaction: Falling to the group and just hugging herself. That realization that she is the same Meteion we met earlier in the game and recalls Hermes' promise, it's so impactful. It makes me remember times in my life where I've been so overwhelmed where all I could do is just draw into myself -- it's such a vulnerable moment.

[@nebjar9321]

Cry every time... it's unreal how hard it hits.

[@ihavenopenisandimustscream]

I must have watched every recording of someone playing through the end of Endwalker, after playing it myself of course, some of them, including yours, multiple times. I cry. Every. Single. Time.

[@Eruedraith19]

Also, Zenos can be quite the romantic? "I rode the light of stars to you" is such a good pickup line

[@darkdaze24]

Damn ur right thoo

[@kazekamiha]

Mind he's not interested in wooing the WoL as much as beating them up in an epic conflict.

[@imtired927]

@@kazekamiha it's the only way he knows how to express his feelings so who knows?

[@starofaetherius]

@@imtired927 i could see a more sane, socially well-adjusted Zenos fall in love with the WoL or be something of a romantic. That would make an interesting AU fanfic.

[@chasemcdowell1294]

This last part of Endwalker is something that I will never forget for the rest of my life. All the emotions I felt on that final walk to Meteion will stick with me. And the final dungeon, trial, and Zenos duel was just amazing. Endwalker is amazing.

[@GunstarGreen0083]

As a Lalafell, can confirm. That last bout was hilarious. Yet, oddly fitting. Not once did Zenos ever doubt the WoL based on their appearance. It never mattered. Only the thrill of the battle. The ability to push each other to the limits. To break them and yet keep going.

[@woodenmetal2977]

I assume that was because canon WoL is a hyur, not a lalafel. This coming from an elezen main.

[@starofaetherius]

@@woodenmetal2977 Other people in game don't look down on Lalafells the way players do when we project our real-world biases. They're more naturally gifted with aether than other races, and that includes enhancing their own strength with it the way any other combatant would. The difference becomes negligable pretty much the very moment they pick up any skill they use it in. Canon race doesn't even come into it. The cutscene does look funnier with a Lala in it though lol.

[@TheKillerham5ter]

Don’t know why anyone would choose to play lalafell when the story is this serious and meaningful. The final fight looks completely stupid and ruins it as a lalafell. Fantasia-ing to lalafell is only ever done as a joke.

[@Shoey69]

@@TheKillerham5ter 9 months later... ...on the chance you're serious, my first character that I really played was a lalafel. I made him as a joke, sure, but grew attached to him. Some cutscenes do hit harder as a roughly "adult human" sized character, but overall... my head canon for FF14 has the WoL as my character, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

[@Moody.Smiruai]

Lalafels are fucking dumb for the protagonist , so are most of the races. A male hyur really is best.@@TheKillerham5ter

[@The_SilverMane]

The entirety of Ultima Thule killed me. Since the death of my grandfather I have barely if ever caught myself crying at anything no matter how rough or emotionally touching. And Endwalker broke that barrier for me. I could finally, for lack of a better word, feel something again.

[@omegagilgamesh]

I have vague memories of playing the Atari 2600 before the NES released, and I've loved story based games ever since Interstate 76, then FFVII the following year when my best friend introduced me to it. Endwalker, specifically the long walk and conversations with the twins following G'raha's sacrifice, is only the second time a video game has ever made me cry. And I know what it's like to have difficulty following tragedy. March last year I walked over to my mother's house one morning and found her on her living room floor in the last stages of rigor mortis. Between that, and being the one to bear the news to my sister, father, aunt, and Mom's best friends, was a chapter of my life I really, really wish had never happened. But that is life, and if we can't forge ahead while still keeping the past alive, we'll never know the moments of happiness, especially the fleeting ones, that makes it all worth it.

(Ardbert): If you need a push, I'll be right there behind you. (Haurchefant): Do not despair! You are not without allies. (Merlwyb): What we have sown in blood, we have reaped in suffering, and it cannot go on. (Aymeric): Upon the souls of they who have sacrificed themselves to pave the way for peace, we will never abandon our cause. (Nanamo): While it is true that man succumbs all too often to anger and avarice, he may yet overcome his baser instincts through the forming of bonds with others. (Raubahn): Such victories are rarely won without sacrifice. But the prize is worth the price. (Kan-E-Senna): And we for our part are glad indeed to be able to welcome friends both old and new... (Hien): Save your tears for the morrow. You may be sure we will have ample cause to shed them, be they for joy or despair. (Papalymo): From tragedy and sacrifice we rise to greet a new dawn. (Edmont): A future shaped by the choices we made, in ways we could never have foreseen. (Beq Lugg): Yet miracles do happen. So let us pray, and will our friends home. (Ryne): I won't stop praying until I know they're safe. (Midgardsormr): Strong art thou, mortal. (Minfilia): Look to the light within, that you may continue to serve as a beacon to others.

[@Salt_Mage]

“And there may come a day, when you forget the faces and voices of those you have met along the way…” The Exarch’s outro in 5.3 stands in my mind every time I watch someone do the walk

[@violetbliss4399]

What Soken & co accomplished with Ultima Thule is one of the most incredible audio designs ever put into a game. I still can't hear the final evolution without starting to cry, it's like a trigger.

[@Belzuboss]

A thousand times yes... The scoring of the music is no less than genius.

[@Eruedraith19]

The Dead Ends is absolutely my favorite dungeon in the game. The music and locations, while being narrated by Meteion. And Meteions' voice actress did an outstanding job throughout everything.

[@Blackwind_Legacy]

Whispers, falling silently drift on the wind, But I hear you. Our journey, now a memory fading from sight, But I see you. Unbroken promises we made so long ago. You're still here. Unspoken requiem for a river of tears Flowing, winding, to one eternal sea, And yet, our hope remains, Guiding, lighting the way. No time, for morning rises On the mem'ry born from the ashes with the heavens to sunset. Blood red skies tranquil after the storm. Blesséd shadow Turning, wending, always night follows day The sun will shine again. Walk on, never look back. Through you, we live. Tales of loss and fire and faith, Every word our hearts engraved. In the dark, you will not stray. Forge ahead 'til the end, we pray. Endwalker was everything many of us needed after experiencing the last few years of disappointment, pain, suffering, and loss. In spite of everything we must continue, carry on.... hope. Be the light in the dark.

I love how much you pay attention to the music in the game, you’re always super quick to catch motifs and always spend time to appreciate the masterpieces that the sound team has created. I feel like your experience resonates closest with how I felt when I played through the story, so I want to thank you for allowing me to relive that experience once again

[@TenaciousBree]

Aww thank you! I love the music so much, I think it is largely why the game has so many emotional and impactful moments. Thanks for taking the time to watch and say something ^-^

"...Can we kiss first?" I had to LOL at that. Such an amazing game. The story, the characters, the voice acting, and especially the music. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@RockR277]

This game makes me feel like my character is personally attached to their friends better than any single player RPG ever has. It really earns that scene heading back home, and the last one in Mor Dhona.

[@billsmith30]

FINALLY somebody freaks out at the recreation of the prayers for Louisoix during the previous calamity. its so cool

[@TenaciousBree]

My absolute favorite part tbh

[@NitDraws]

Although I do see what you are thinking, but this is paying homage to FFIV or FF2 on SNES. Assuming you make it to the final boss, just like in this battle, the battle is lost, and your friends around the planet all pray to turn the tide. It doesn't work exactly the same way, but it is close. FFIV has a lot of association with this expansion including Loporrits and the Moon. Suffice to say, when this happened all I could think about was the scene in FFIV and reliving the event. It pumped me up so much... as did seeing the Loporrits.

[@TenaciousBree]

@@NitDraws while yes it’s referencing FFIV it’s also a direct reference to the Scions praying in the ARR trailer lol. Doesn’t have to be one or the other

[@Disconnected66]

@@NitDraws A large amount of this game is practically a love letter to the entire FF franchise and all of its fans. Everything is a "reference" if it existed before in one way or another, but to say that this endwalker moment is more of a reference to another game before it would be a reference to an event that happened in the same game is really weird lol. It's a lore callback from 1.0 which has been a steady foundation of FF14 lore, it is foremost related to that before any throwbacks to decades ago is, though it is likely always all inspired by things that can be implemented within the same vein of other FF games. But again, it's so weird to me to think that 2 events that are displayed extremely similar in the same game are somehow referencing something externally before you think you can recognize it as a callback to earlier in FF14 lol. Does the story of ff14 not mean anything if it can't be tied back to a reference you're familiar with of another game? XD

[@NitDraws]

@@Disconnected66 Maybe you missed something. The three Magus Sisters, FF2, The Loporrits, FF2, Several Battle themes in this expansion, FF2, Prayer to win the final battle, FF2.... hmmm. ARR, they were praying to the twelve, in Endwalker they were praying for hope like in FF2. The only similarity is the positions they prayed in the cutscenes. That's it. That's not lore. That's imagery. I am happy they put this in. I don't understand why you would reinitiate this as an argument. It's fine as people see it different ways.

[@TheRedKnaveLP]

I do love the bit before the final boss, I always imagined Estinean as just constantly confused about what's going on so when he can finally do something he knows how to do as a Dragoon and take an entire planet to the face he takes it right away.

[@aennaenn7468]

When you think about it, floor tanking IS taking a planet to the face, albeit less forcibly.

[@tenjenk]

During the RP walk, we get a visible debuff mentioning the WoL's emotional burdening weighing them down. I loved how many of Emet's most well known lines had subversions here, from the "remember us" one to the reversal of intent for the "You have no fight left to fight" line when informing us its safe to summon our friends. its fitting that even after all of that Emet decided to leave because it was his purpose and duty to bring back his people and the beautiful days of their past but with that goal impossible he refused to stay. He refused to forsake them. His memory being returned didnt change his ideals or wash away the sins he committed following them. so many people have made the same comment about Endsinger "This is such a final fantasy end boss!" XD cause its hella true. You went with the best choice in the Zenos Dialogue, that sneering smirk is quite the unique expression for our WoL to make in the MSQ as they admit Zenos has a point about them.

[@Carsu12]

and it's the same smirk Zenos does after borrowing our body

[@InfaMissGoddess]

Dont forget when emet told us "you cant be entrusted with our legacy" and then in endwalker he tells us not to squander the legacy he leaves us. It went through a lot of peoples heads but when he said that i broke down instantly.

[@LoneSpartin]

What a journey and ending, started watching during your Heavensward journey and never missed a single minute since

[@cameronwyatt9467]

And so the curtain falls. What an amazing journey. I remember the moment Emet snapped those flowers into existence in my playthrough. I have never cried so much for anything that wasn't family related. But then, that's what makes this game so wonderful. You feel like these characters are a part of a family, of your family. Here's to another 10 years with the Scions.

[@user-pv1jo2xo1u]

I don't understand English, but I understood the meaning from your reaction and watched the video. I remembered and cried. 😭 Congratulations on clearing.🎉🎉🎉 May you have the blessing of Crystal in your future adventures.

[@treystaton282]

Made me feel so much better from my depression after losing my dad... the faith to keep going and knowing he is beside me.. even if not physically there.. he got me to move forward...

[@CeresAzalia]

You know, one tiny little detail I LOVE, is that from the moment the other Scions learned the name of our world...from the moment they were told the Ancients called it Etheirys, there was no debate or discussion, they adopt it instantly. Up until that point, the people of our world had used the name "Hydaelyn" to refer to not only the WILL of the Star, but as the very name of the planet itself, but in what appeared to be a silent agreement that showed they sought to distance themselves from the name of the Elder Primal, and seemingly in a show of respect to those who are now gone, they adopt the TRUE name of the planet IMMEDIETELY. This is something not many people acknowledge, but it, to me, is such a gentle and loving sign of respect from the Scions to both Venat, and all the Ancients who lost their lives trying to forestall a calamity they did not truly deserve. They named that planet, and it's name is Etheirys.

[@louisnguyen6610]

It is also to be said in the tune of our star being an abundance of aether itself, where as in space, dynamis is more abundant. Like naming the orange fruit you found “Orange” because it’s so orange

[@Sephvion]

There is a theory that Zenos' final wish was to make sure you got out. Since we're in a zone of pure dynamis, where things can materialize from hope/feelings, his hope/wish could have been for the teleporter to materialize and send you back.

[@Ren99510]

It would make sense that it wasn't us, accounting for players who really, really like Zenos and would have wished for both to get out lol.

[@cyphi474]

I think its simply correct explanation. It was his dying wish.

[@DawnAfternoon]

@@cyphi474 Hmmm that's one way to intrepet it, but they left it open-ended so that's also possible. For people who dislike Zenos they can simply think of the Scions as the one who brought them back. For people who liked Zenos they can think of Zenos as the one who brought them back.

[@cyphi474]

@@DawnAfternoon Yea it is just one way. That scene isnt clear, there is moving light in the sky("sky") shortly before that thing drops. So who is helping at that moment is somewhat unclear.

[@theguyacrossthetable]

[@KaliStarchaser]

#YouAreNotAlone Yours is a long road, my friend. And it stretches on to places beyond imagining. With your every step, these grand adventures shall grow more distant and faint. And there may come a day when you forget the faces and voices of those you have met along the way. On that day, I bid you remember this: That no matter how far your journey may take you, you stand where you stand by virtue of the road you walked to get there. For in times of hardship, when you fear you cannot go on… The joy you have known, the pain you have felt, the prayers you have whispered and answered--they shall ever be your strength and your comfort.

The white robed ancient at the end talking about Pandaemonium has the same exact voice as Elidibus, and considering in the Crystal tower Elidibus says he remembers you being in Elpis and through the campaign we never once encountered him in the story, I'm betting that person is Elidibus before he becomes The Emissary

[@TenaciousBree]

actually there is something that Venat says in Elpis that all but confirms it’s Elidibus. She mentions that the white coats are worn by everyone who has stepped down from office to serve as public advisors AND the emissary Elidibus.

I broke down in tears so many times in that zone, and i was so destroyed from the moment Raha mention the promise (Seriously, is like the main point of his in the story is causing us emotional damage) and at the end the music hits.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who had a good cry during these quests. When the music changed to its 'final' iteration, I started to get teary-eyed, but held on. It was a combination of losing the twins, though, and 'The Walk' that got me. Hearing Haurchefant in particular just kinda... yeah. I got as far as Aymeric's line, I believe, before I just had to stop and cry. They didn't pull any punches with this expansion, and I love it. Wonderful story, I enjoyed every moment of it.

Man, Endwalker crushed me towards the end. Having gone through depression for most of my life and only having recently gotten out of it, it felt like the game was throwing my own demons back at me. Which is why I love that the overarching message of the expansion is just a reaffirmation of life. But I won't lie, Ultima Thule is my favorite area in the game because of how dark it is. Kinda wish I had picked up this game before the tail end of Shadowbringers, but I guess that means I've got plenty to catch up on. And I mean Shadowbringers already won me over and Endwalker knocked it outta the park, so everything else now is so much gravy. Gotta go make Crystal Mom proud QQ

Its like when the song cut to the sung lyrics, G'raha was singing to us. I was an absolute mess at that point, crying and sobbing.

[@Xaiken]

While SHB pulled at my heartstrings more often, EW ripped my heart out three times: Hydaelyn, G'raha, and A Flower.

[@aerieleah533]

Let me tell you what this journey did for me. It gave me a new perspective on bad things in my life. I know it sounds cheesy, but every once in a while media will give me a message that really hit home, and Endwalker? It did that. Following everything that happens, a lot of dark stuff happens in endwalker, but also it's sprinkled with levity. From the multiple meals you share with the Scions to memories if Meteion and Hermes together, you remember those times. So when things get hard, those fleeting moments of happiness, and the chance to create more of that happiness, comes forth. I've taken to viewing life that way too. I think all the suffering is worth the good. And I am pushing to really embrace the fact that, overall for most people, we will encounter more suffering, more sorrow. But that suffering, that sorrow is not only not a unique experience, but must be weighed as less important. A minute's joy is worth a month's sorrow. Edit: also, for the record, for G'raha's sacrifice, "I can't. Not again." Gives more dialog. I chose that one, because while I understand that the other option was respecting his judgment, I had been dreading this moment ever since Estinien disappeared. My top 3 favorite Scions just had to be the last 3 left and also played the most emotional. So yeah Ultima Thule wrecked me.

So when I replayed this on primal I chose the second one bc I ship my AuRa with G’raha so I have at this point seen both dialogue options. i also really appreciate what you took from the game. it’s amazing how much this game changed some people’s perspectives.

Awww your reaction to the quest "Endwalker"'s name D':

[@redgeoblaze3752]

14:07 a few seconds before this, I said "Someone get this girl a hug. She needs it"

[@bradenb]

I love seeing legit reactions from people that actually care about and love the lore

[@adjwindu70]

45:11 oh i see now. Here desire to end this caused the dynamis to break the shell and expose the yolk for us to get in and finish endsinger

[@Shanyetta23]

I sobbed after G’raha Tia too. I was broken after that. So many things building to that moment.

[@captainwodie2753]

Almost every Scion : Yo, wtf? What were you thinking? Estinien : Yeah, not a doubt in my mind

[@AkuNoHana]

Seeing the the emotional terrorism the game has wrecked on this poor girl at 14:00 I started to get really concerned knowing what lies ahead.

[@Braigwen]

Uldah's theme was the first song that was redone for ARR, so that's the first song that played in the credits for the ending of the Hydaelyn and Zodiark Arc.

[@Icedmindblow]

Came for the tears and feels, stayed for the test of your reflexes! :D

[@castoputa]

I swear after that prayer sequence I was so ramped up I got my Shadowbringers dmg stats back! What a goddamned masterpiece, thank you for sharing your magnificent experience ❤️

[@jamescollier2456]

I belly laughed as soon as I saw your reaction to Big Fat Tacos. My sides are satellites rn lol

[@dullahandan4067]

Ever think the champions summoned to help the WoL just turn to him upon showing up like "Dude...wtf is that thing?"

[@phoenix7289]

Man, The Walk and its music never gets old. It's so powerful. I teared up watching you get choked up too. I only wish I could have filmed my own reaction. While I ultimately think Shadowbringers was a better expansion, this ending really brought EW home. So incredible.

[@Fransens]

Last post, I swear: This is me at the last stretch... "Please take 1, please take 1, please take 1 please..."

[@Xardion55]

_"That, I cannot deny."_ Yes, Yes, YES, YES, YEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!

[@Sephaizen]

Did you notice you can faintly hear people screaming when she crashes the planets and does that AOE?

[@firedrake110]

"Ok, I'm done, sorry" -cuts to more joyous faffing about- I love every second of this, A+

[@thunderedkill7414]

Why do I seek these reactions out? I cry literally every time 😭

[@ellixanasilvercrow6891]

i balled the first time watching this when i was playing and now i'm balling again. I've found a new respect for Alphinaud. He became my best friend during this. SE outdid themselves on Endwalker. I can't wait to see what other adventures we are to discover.

[@sadi5713]

just imagine how the people would flip their shit if the WOL would loose in a scripted fight against Zenos at the end, haha. And he would pity-port us back to the ship.

[@Carsu12]

he did pity port you back to the ship if you chose to believe Urianger's theory 😉 But I guess calling it pity port would be a disservice.

[@redgeoblaze3752]

@@Carsu12 yeah, more like a "Thanks for indulging me, now I'll help you get what you want, because that's what friends do, as I recently learned" port

[@WoolliestGaming]

I just love how the entirety of Endsingers first phase theme is composed of the Final Fantasy theme, and the final boss song for every expandion. Ultima for ARR, Heroes(King Thorton) from Heavensward, A Worms Tail(Shinryu that played st the beginning), and Hades' second phase theme. And to top it off, the second phase is the second half of Footfalls, which is our WoL's theme. And even better, the final dight with Zenos has the beginning part of footfalls, whi h many have put as his theme.
