Still get chills every goddamn single time when the theme kicks in No matter how many times I see someone finish 5.0, no matter how many times I finish 5.0 for an alt, it hits

There's something about Emet's line of "very well, the victor shall write the tale and the vanquished become its villain" that really gets to me - just this moment of "all questions of moral high grounds are set aside - it's all down to which of us can fight for our ideals harder"

@g2gmedia745 Жыл бұрын

It's just what it is. Emet realizing that they're arguing from the opposite sides of the same coin, trying to save who they love, with all their power (Emet and WoL). There's no definitive right or wrong in this story. Just the winner becomes the history's author.

How do you write a good conflict? You make two characters whose goals are completely incompatible. You make those goals personal, to the point where they would have to effectivelly *give up who they are* in order to give up their goal. With that kind of set-up, conflict is inevitable. The characters will fight. Ran'jit wants Minfilia to be safe, no matter what she chooses. Thancred wants her to make her own choices. Even if it means Minfilia will die. Either Minfilia. Their goals are incompatible, and they cannot give it up without breaking who they are. Hades and the Warrior of Light are fighting for those they love. Their goals are completely incompatible: in order for one of those groups to live, the other group must die. Neither can yeild. The conflict is personal, and inevitable. The music's tone sells it: the Warrior of Light must give it their all in this fight, *because Hades is.*

The theme to Emet's second phase, "Invincible", really sounds like a choir of weeping singers, violins & trumpets friggin screaming their heads off in pain at BGM 100%

It feels like the first time the boss is actually trying to kill us. Not just "anyone in front of them," actively _trying_ to kill _specifically_ us.

@evilgibson Жыл бұрын

15:20 Emet-Selch says "[...] come let us cast aside tiles and pretenses and reveal our true faces to one another". When the battle starts his title card is just Hades. Unlike other bosses that always have some title or subtitle.

"Weary wander... you've no fight left to fight, no life left to live." That one throwback to the Shadowbringers trailer hits me so hard every time. Also, Duty Finder is finally canon.

1:15 "If I were to bring my full strength to bear you would be as leaves in the wind." 5:24 "Be this also thy purpose? And immediate shutdown. 7:40 "It's your time buddy, whachu got?" He's got an axe. 10:10 Not gonna lie, I was cackling like a lunatic at this part. It always psyches me up. 11:08 "I like that first one a lot." So do I. Emet's been testing and challenging us this whole time, now we challenge HIM. 13:11 Exarch made duty finder canon in lore. 19:25 "I did not have "finish 5.0 tanking alongside JC on my bingo card for today" absolutely killed me for some reason." 25:40 Did you catch what he was saying at the end there? "That Light split the world, and every life upon it." He has so much rage at Hydaelyn for causing the sundering.

Other MMOs: "You are the chosen one! And if you group up with other chosen ones... ehm... just ignore that!" FF14 after Shadowbringers: "You are the Chosen one! And When you group up with others, you are literally summoning yourself from other Universes to fight together!"

The ending of 5.0 is peak ff14, and the best moment in the game for me personally. My only wish is when you are starting to turn and emet taunts you, they actually have ardbert save you while your actually turning, letting you wonder for just a bit omg are they actually gonna make us become a monster, then ardbro saves us as the last second
