This is one of my absolute favorite pieces from Endwalker - the sad joy, the reflective emotions, it's sublime in its simplicity.

I think it's the Julus scene that I associate this track the most. When Julus took a sip of the warm soup and the Resistance Delegate who was talking to him said "It's the little things that make life worth living, don't you think?", I bawled. Still one of my favorite scenes in EW and this track will always make me feel warm and hopeful.

Flow is more than just one of the key leitmotifs of Endwalker in this moment. It's indicative of the path we've traveled, a cycle that has placed us in a similar role to the one who guided us. Flow is the music we associate with Hydaelyn/Venat, alongside Answers. (Which is appropriately what her final theme is a derivation of.) We hear it during our visions of her and during much of the time we spend one on one with her in Elpis, reminding us of how she guides us, nurtures us as her chosen Warriors of Light. We do much the same for Meteon. We tend to her and guide her during our times alone with her in Elpis. We try to understand her, support her, acting almost as an older sibling or even a parent, like Venat has done for us. We do the same throughout the Ultima Thule alongside the Scions. Again and again they try to make her see the error in her thinking, that existence and life aren't hopeless and pointless, but through self sacrifice and appeals to logic that work for adults. It's only in the moment you show, that penultimate attempt to make her understand before we face the Endsinger, when every one of our friends has given their all to try and make her see, that we finally have our chance. And we use love. Understanding. A gesture of meaningful kindness, fulfilling the promise from Hermes that she held onto for however many thousands of years without realizing it in the dark and cold place she was in. Only when we do that, only when we realize we're not just dealing with another harbinger of doom but a child who tragically had her innocence ripped away, are we finally able to get through. It takes you, the player, who has been through so much to make it to this point, to guide her and help her see in the exact same way Hydaelyn guided us. It's a beautiful and brilliant bit of storytelling. Endwalker at its very best.
@00yiggdrasill00
@00yiggdrasill00 Жыл бұрын
That's... actually impressively thought out. We start out very like meteon, simply looking for adventure and fun, but it spirals so much further once venat gets involved. The difference is Hermes made her and set her loose without proper guidance through her sisters mental link to find his own answer, while venat guides and protects us through those first stumbling steps as we find our own will and path...and then we take our experience and tech meteon in the very short time we have before it all goes wrong and then teach her where she got it wrong. How very interesting that the wol becomes a parental figure right as we meet the woman who became hydalen face to face...and what a mirror it is to how things could have gone given how beyond human the warrior is even without a blessing.

You will weep tears of anger and despair ...but do not avert your eyes. See your life for what it is. Then you will see how the hardships make you strong.

A streamer picked out that it sounds very similar to His Theme. It evokes those same emotions of sadness and joy, The fear and meleancholy of loss. The swelling happiness of love. Hopeful Dynamis plays when there is a small glimmer of light that pierces the darkness of all the despair around us. The soup scene with Julus, this scene with Meteion. They are both heart wrenchingly sad and overwhelmingly filled with light and hope at the same time. This is what I would call Soken's truest masterpiece.

But I cried all the tears of my body on the end of this FFXIV Endwalker the emotion was too strong, in addition to the accumulation of the loss of my mother ... It's something you can't hold back and luckily there is hope and beautiful things in this world because I could have very well lost myself and had a depression because it was so sudden. That's why I will never forget this musical theme.

The first three notes reminded me immediately of Undertale's theme, and now I can never not think of Undertale whenever I hear this song, on top of the emotionally charged experience I was already having with Endwalker. I encourage you to go back and see what I mean, maybe it will become even more special to you. :)

Absolutely loved the video. I don't know much about Final Fantasy XIV, but your commentary made me interested. On another note, could you look into Citizen Sleeper's OST ?

It reminds me so much of Hopes and Dreams from Undertale. And I say that with the utmost adoration for both tracks.

Not sure if you've already reacted to it, but "The Best is Yet to Come" from MGS 1 is amazing too. It'd also be thematically appropriate since St Patrick's day is soon and the song is sang entirely in the Irish language, Gaelige.

I love when you talk about FF14 songs. Hopeful Dynamis is rough to listen to without tearing up at least.

What's the meme from Brooklyn Nine-Nine? I've only known Meteion for a day and a half and if anything happened to her I'd kill everyone on this star then myself? Summary of the entire expansion right there.

I love your videos Marco. Seen most so far, but I sadly can't watch this one yet. Recently (as in, 45 days ago) picked up FFXIV for reals, and I am slowly working my way through it, currently sitting in the "Post-MSQ" bit of Stormblood. I will return and watch this, as well as your other FFXIV videos, when they are no longer spoiler territory for me. :) I always hear "Oh, but just you wait, it gets better later", and every time I respond with "BUT IT'S ALREADY SO GOOD THO?!" Have a good day, see you in the next vid, perhaps. :)

Breathtaking... I have a good friend of mine who love, love, loves FFXIV. Whenever music from the game appears on your channel, I am reminded of her, and how we never speak anymore. I wonder how this grand story affects her, and the conversations we miss out on because of that. I trust she's doing quite well however, and I know she almost exclusively thinks about this game, as well as Zelda, and Splatoon. With that in mind, Marco...I assume it is a fear of Nintendo and copyright takedown that you do not review any musical content from the big Nintendo titles. What do you think about that?

If you haven't listened to it before, I highly recommend Mikey O'Neil's rendition of Hopeful Dynamis on their channel of the same name. It's just as good if not, I dare say, better than the in game version.
