Vyeoh!!!...This was AMAZING!!! You're AWESOME!!! I'm sobbing like a baby over here! 😭

Even though Pixl wasn’t here during the finale, I like to imagine him coming back to all the destruction and being utterly baffled as to what he missed.

honestly, pearl dissapearing in sausages arms and joel just staring at his palace were my favourite sections, the first because i mean cmon that was so cool and emotional at the same time, and the second because i watched joels pov the whole way through

I literally started screaming! When Pearl disappeared in Sausage's arms, it broke me. Had to watch this whole thing again on repeated.

Parts I yelled: 0:38 the way Fwhip's expression automatically went into concern mode and Jimmy's went to confusion 1:55 MythicalSausage holding Pearl as she withers away 2:18 MythicalSausage doing magic (that he had promised he wouldn't use) while surrounded by sacrificed blood sheep Parts that I cried at: 2:38 Good boy Xornoth's smile absolutely crushed my soul

Jimmy’s escape from blast in fwhip’s empire, joel looking at the destruction in his empire, sausage holding pearl as he withers away… it’s amazing and so bittersweet🥺

ORIGINS: Joel: He came from a rich family, siblings pushing him around, him being the smallest and youngest his mom and dad were very material and prided themselves on being rich. The palace was his way of finally being seen. Joey: Unlike Joel, Joey came from a poor family, his parents set out for an adventure and never returned, he followed the same path, looking for the same treasure they did. He grew up to be very material, wanting anything and everything. But not having their love, he chased it, much like gold. At least he has xornoth now, right? Lizzie and Jimmy: We all know their backstory, but; after Jimmy was born, she knew what she had to do. She took the young codling, wrapped him in bright green kelp and said goodbye. He was placed in the swamp, so he could enjoy land, but still be reminded of the ocean. Lizzie lived thousands of years after, her kingdom started underwater, and emerging upwards as the Seabling Prophecy came into effect. (Lizzie and Jimmy to become closer and reunited) Pearl and Sausage: Both childhood friends, always together. He was the Prince of Mythland, she was the self-proclaimed Princess of the Farms. Gem and Fhwip: They’re twins, both from a long line of Counts and Countesses. Gem is older, but never wanted to take over. This, Count Fhwip is born. Gem went off to study magic, live a simpler life. Just as her childhood love,d she was fascinated eith fairytales and reading. Their parents are long gone now, having died of old age when they were young. He made robot friend, she craved the live her never could have. Shrub: A mere farmer girl of the Gnomelands: she never had much growing up, always one with the nature. She mastered woodcarving to bring forth new friends, and simple potions to bring them to life. She had 2 wolves growing up, they would graze the farms and help with chores. They had 12 puppies and they now live with her in the Undergrove. DONT HAVE ANY PERSONAL ONES FOR SCOTT AND KATHERINE, feel free to fill in!

the transition from fwip holding the dead cod fish to lizzie loosing her memories and true form broke me

Aah, this was excellent! And for it to be in full color too really makes it hit harder! I really like how it was a gradual build-up at the beginning, with Jimmy and Fwhip getting along, Scott finding the sword, like it seemed like everything was somewhat okay, but then it all comes crashing down (or caving in you can say haha). Your interpretation for how the ending scenes/deaths went are just heartbreaking, and makes me miss these guys even more. Empires was a ride, and this gets me excited for season 2 even more! This was great!

I’m fucking crying rn 😭 omg that was SO good like if you were their the entire series and you watched them progress throughout the series then like 😢 omg

I know season 2 has started, but I cant help but watch this again. It's too good. Joey with the demon crown and the flashing to him with Xornoth still has me awwwing and clutching my chest. Pearl dying still gives me chills, along with Sausage preforming the sacrifice and Scott's part at the end.

Words can't genuinely express how good this is. All the faces of horror as their empires crash and fall from the fire raining from the sky. A normal ish life and demon free world turned on its head as most run but few take their own path like Scott sacrifice himself and Pearl withering. Your art always blows me away Vyoeh and you've been such an inspiration to me as an artist I can't thank you enough!

Lizzie and shrub... Lizzie's ending was sad but funny, shrubs just straight up killed me.

Amazing work my friend. Animating in full color was not a mistake :D

The way pearl withered away..😥

Dude!! I'm crying over here! That was absolutely beautiful! I'm in love with your style and everyone's designs! The explosions on fWhips base and all the backgrounds is general were also gorgeous! How dare you thanos snap Pearl while Sausage holds her!!! Lizzie turning human, Joel watching his palace up in flames, and maaaan the sword in Scotts chest!!! So much pain I love this so much!!!

I literally cried when fwhip sacrificed himself for Jimmy

Y'all this is so good you aren't ready

When katherine left her Empire behind with her crown. And the flower she placed growing is such a sad scene😢

Crying vyeoh this is amazing

This is the og empires animatic i still and im still watching it (i love how goofy sausage was in live chat)

Why does a flower with a crown around it have this much emotional impact.

*sniff* *SOB* THAT WAS SO SAD AND BEAUTIFUL. I STILL HAVE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT SKITTLES FOR ANYONE WHO WAS IN CHAT 😭😭

During the part where Joel's palace brunt to Scott laying on the ground my mind went from 'NOOO JOEL'S PALACE' to 'ha ha Scott's dead'

sir i will be sending you the bill for my emotional damage shortly--

SOBBING KATHRINES CROWN WITH THE FLOWER WAS SO SAD TO ME AND SCOTT DYING

So excited! You're so talented and I'm sure it will be amazing ❤ Edit: When I wrote that before the premiere I did not expect to cry this hard. I'm impressed 🥲👍

This is incredibly emotional and wonderful. Seeing the colours of the EMpires SMP, seeing how you designed them, this is beautiful and full of work. Ahhh I miss this

Scott was such a main character in that season

This is so good! Everything was amazing, but Pearl withering away and Scott dying just…*tears*. Idek why this makes me so sad.

Can't wait! Just the thumbnail looks absolutely gorgeous!!

Ready to cry bois?

I love Shelby's wolves in this! They're ADORABLE!! Also, this was so sad, I'm on the verge of tears but the art was outstanding!! Edit: you also know how good the animatic was when there are 0 dislikes

AAAAAAH STOP IM CRYING!! This is srsly amazing! U deserve a sub, I can't believe u done dis

Man the ending of empires was SO SAD! I had only watched Lizzies point of view but man.... Almost crying over here.... Definitly needs a season 2.

I love how you made the mezalean palace small destruction into something more dramatic, overall this is such a good animatic gosh the emotions

I'm so excited about this animatic, all endings broke me in indescribable ways-

You are amazing at making us cry. Strawberry blond brought me to tears I have no idea how many times, and now this!

bro i remember watching this animatic when it first came out and i was bawling my eyes out. a year later, the same thing happens lmao.

the song matches empires ending soooo well thank you for this amazing animatic!!

This was so heartbreaking, just the way you portrayed all the character made me teary omg 😭

This is absolutely amazing!! My feelings... (;--;) each frame is drawn so beautifully, i nearly cried at pearl's

Joel’s only sad because it took him so long to build his mega base

This was well worth the wait. This was a fantastic representation of the ending of the series. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I come back and watch this at least once a month, probably the video I’ve watched the most times. The animation, the scenes chosen, and the song you used, everything about it just makes me cry every time. This is the kind of artistry you get from big corporations. Truly an amazing work of art! :3

2:24 - what we expected what we got - "What the fu-"

VIOOOOO THIS GOT ME ON THE FLOOR… there’s such a softness to it as it shows such a sad and destructive ending idk how you managed it but you did i will sit and think about this forever now

I have watched this over 20 times and it's still AMAZING

these deep breaths i'm taking are part of a new exercise i'm trying called "definitely not crying" THIS IS AMAZING!!!! Seeing a little touchstone into each of the Empires final moments and capturing all the emotions that were shown to us, just so well done!

Hi dont mind me jus crying over this. The back to back moment of Shrub and Katherine leaving hit me in my soul THE PARRELELLS!

sobbing so hard right now, this was amazing. you really captured all of the endings, so sad rn. really looking forward to the rest of season 2 though!

I want to compliment this but I don't know what words to use to describe how much I love it

VYEOH U HAVE NO RIGHT TO MAKE ME CRY

Oooo a Premiere. Very cool.😁

Yo I'm getting chills like every second of this and my house is NOT cold, AHHHHH THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

PAIN /POS THIS IS SO GOOD!! My brain is too tired to write a long, part-by-part analysis but like you’ve done this in full colour!! And the scenes go perfectly with each part of the song!! You’ve captured the emotions so so well, I adore this

I’m not crying 😭 😭 I loved empires season 1 and this gives me all the feels. This video was a masterpiece.

for some reason good boy Xornoth's smile just makes me like burst out in tears-

I'm always so amazed by your animatics!!!! They're so good!!!

Gem escaping with him and having a long fulfilling life is the best imo

i just keep coming back to this video and thinking about how good the empires lore is, especially when it is showcased so beautifully like this.

Wow, didn't think I'd be crying today

Their emotions were perfect this gave me the chills I’m tearing up rn 😭🤧

What a vid to get uploaded on my birthday! VyeOh! Amazing and emotionally devastating as always!

Wow this is amazing! What really touched me was pearl slowly withering. I am at loss for words rn

This is soo good!! the details!! making the rune blade having a message on it on in the runes!!! so good!!

DUDE!! EVERY NEW ANIMATIC OF YOURS BECOMES MY NEW FAVORITE WHAT

Its thundering where i am and my god its great ambience for this, loved it

this is absolutely amazing! it shows everything that happened so well and makes it so emotional.

Dang this is so hecking good!!! Fully colored with full backgrounds with a sucker punch of emotion to every scene!! Amazing!

An animatic has never made me cry this hard. Well done!

This was good and so sad. The animation was beautiful and you have successfully hurt me. :')

asdfghjkl Vye this was just PHENOMENAL! Like, OMG you really outdid yourself with this one, you captured all the moments so perfectly! So happy I was able to make it to the premiere!

I CRIED ALL OVER AGAIN! I thank people like you on KZfaq for giving me what I feal like is a valid reason to cry.

i'm rewatching this after a few months wherein i've watched more perspectives and rewatched one or two, and this hits so much harder. as always, great job, this is so cool! :D

i started geting tears in my eyes on pearls death

Im so excited :D I also frickin LOVE this song 💗✨

YOU'RE MAKING ME CRY

This was incredible! The title, the music, the tone, everything just fits so perfectly. The ending was perfect. ❤️

I haven't gotten the chance to watch this SMP story yet, but by this animatic I think im going to binge watch all I can. Amazing animatic, I will definitely come back with my afterthoughts

Vyeoh, you can’t do this to me! Vyeohhhh I’m crying

OW. ALRIGHT. LOVE IT. LOVE IT SO MUCH. BUT ALSO OW.

QUALITY. I LOVE THIS. SO. MUCH. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. ITS AMAZING

This made me cry so hard lol

I'm not crying you're crying This is amazing I love it ahhhh

OKAY DAMN MAKING ME CRY ..

This is SO GOOD! The animation?! The way it flows and the fact that it’s all in color?! SO GOOD!!!

My mental health literally CANNOT handle this lmao 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

This seriously has to become an actual movie. Like, the LORE! and STORY! And CHARACTERS! Empires is definitely my favorite SMP out of all of the ones I've watched, because of the members and the stories they create, as well as their different build styles and interactions. Of course, all good things must come to an end, and this is just pure perfection. So touching, bittersweet and emotional, and captures the finale of the series flawlessly. Amazing work! Keep creating!

Ngl this got me in tears… 😭

Bro Omg I can't right now Empires S1 was literally fire I'm going to miss it...

I'm crying all over again 😭😭😭

Omg I love all your animatics
