Nidhogg's last words still ring for me "Undone by mortal will. Wither now...?", he's been defined by vengeance for so long his soul doesn't know what to do with itself or where to go from here.

So you have not played ff9 or ff8 ?? and went for the mmo? And also ff 12 ??

Always loved the ending of 3.3. Count Edmonts narration being shown has his memoirs as he finally closes the book, it always gets me, especially now with his VA passing. RIP Stephen Critchlow

I re-watched some Heaven'sward stuff recently, and yeah, the tired sit back in his chair, really hit different

You probably missed it, but apparently after this cutscene and the first time you go to Azys Lla, the flowers are at the base of the aetheryte. They're for Ysayle.

The lyrics of Dragonsong kicking in the moment you absorb Hraesvelgr's eye is one of my favorite moments in this game. You can now literally hear the song the dragons constantly refer to, the deep turmoil swelling in the hearts of both greatwyrms over the conflicts of the past. Your heart is now attuned to them and their kind, forever bound.

You've survived Heavensfeel. You still have Feelsbringers and Feelswalker to make it through after Stormblood. Godspeed. =P

I mean, the patch MSQs for Stormblood is pretty emotional too. SB might be not as good as the rest, but their patch quests are not something to scoff at.

This isn't the last time you'll have to do a fight like this with tears in your eyes. Your journey has just begun.

Now that you have completed 3.3 I would suggest picking up the quest "The Paths We Walk" which is available from the House Fortemps Manservant at Fortemps Manor. It is just a normal quest, but it serves as a bit off a bookend to the whole of the Heavensward expansion.

The chasm surrounding Ishgard is a torrent of wind and ice aspected aether so dangerous that even dragons must respect it, which is probably why it was considered a safe way to dispose of them. I also think that the danger of keeping them and risking another possession favored getting rid of them quickly. Another round with Nidhogg after that would have been disastrous.

22:23 ahh yes, your offering is well received by all emotional vampires around. Keep em coming you're in for a treat

Getting goosebumps even watching these scenes years later XD

"Why would they do this to us?" I hope you're prepared to ask that question a LOT in the coming months. 🙂Lovely reaction, looking forward to more! Enjoy your playthrough, fellow WoL!

Yep, FFXIVs story is brilliant, but my god it's not good for our heart with how much they punch us in the feels.

im so happy to find out my favorite anime reaction channel also does ffxiv! my favorite game currently

Yooo, I've been a fan of your show reactions for awhile and youtube algo only now decides to pop this on my feed as an FFXIV msq addict?!?! Excited to follow you on your journey through the rest :)

I loved how as you were crying you immediately call out the choice to yeet the eyes lol Congrats on getting this far, still a lot of road ahead :)

To be fair the abyss is saturated in corrupted ice and wind aether (an NPC in ishgard near the gate confirms as much), so much so a dragon or man cannot move freely without being shifted by the winds and frozen solid by the cold. Indeed, the abyss is so inhospitable that nothing made of living flesh can reach them, not even a body possessed by an Asian.

Man, I might've witessed 3.3 quests myself a couple months ago but they are still my favorite part of the game. One of the best experiences I ever had gaming.

Congrats on finishing Heavensward! Watching your vid is making me want to start 14 up again, been on a break for a while. Hope you enjoy stormblood! Stuff starts getting wild

It's been over a year since I did this part, and I'm still not over it lol. That Ysayle and Haurchey scene gets me every time.

And so begins the Estinien lover arc for Alana Been a blast watching you play XIV and join for the odd trial!

There is sooooo much more for you to see and discover. You're in for probably the best story experience of your entire life. After all these years, being a day one player, I am still amazed at how they keep surpassing themselves

Brings back good memories. Enjoy your journey! There’s nothing else like it in this world

If youve been a drg since the beginning, you got an extra line of dialogue where Estinien recognizes you an another azure dragoon. It's an "oh, you leveled that, let us show you that we see it" kind of thing. Edit: oh, there it is, I typed too early. "'Tis an honor to share the mantle of Azure Dragoon with one such as you."

Ah it’s so great to still see new sprouts on the emotional rollercoaster!!

A masterful use of the Dragonsong

Heavensward and Ishgard is my second favorite Expansion, I still have to finish up Shadowbringers and get into Endwalker in my own playthrough, but currently can't afford a sub+retainers that I have. I'm hoping to get back into the game soon though. Great reaction.

thanks for putting these on yt

Always awesome to see someone engage emotionally with the story like the writers want you to!

Hraesvelgr vs Nidhogg was the Paarthunax vs Alduin we deserved in Skyrim

Oh sick I didn't you were playing this! I loved your FF16 playthrough and I'm happy you're enjoying FF14 with all it's music 🔥🔥

As soon as you get the eyes, you now can understand the lyrics of Dragonsong. Its such a beautiful finale.

Congratulations on finishing Heavensward. You can blame/thank Ishikawa for making such a fantastic story. She also did the job story for Dark Knight, and the Shadowbringers MSQ.

Ohhh surprised and excited that one of my fav anime reactor is playing my favorite mmorpg! Enjoy the ride, its going to be a roller-coaster of emotion journey. And most people probably already said, it will keep getting better ;)

Whoa whoa, i did not know you were playing ffxiv! Definitely going to follow your playthrough.

It was a throwaway line from an optional conversation with a nobody, but that abyss is supposedly bottomless, terminating in a swirling storm of aether.

Wow! I had no idea you was playing FFXIV! I need to watch your videos now. I hope you enjoy the game and the community.

Nice reaction Alana I think FF is a pretty good series I never really played any of the games but I respect it👍

Your WoL looks so similar to how mine did when I played this part, you have great taste

oh shit wait i just watched ur jjk reaction, i had no idea u play xiv! that's crazy

Alphi built a lot of campfires with Esti...... He's the true start of the "Campfire" 'tradition' in FFXIV for using campfires at special times..

Love your reaction!! Keep playing you haven't cried yet. lol

You know...looking back, Heavensward was truly special. It really was the moment I fell in love with the game. I mean it was good before that, as I am an FF guy, and the references are cool- but HW was when I was convinced that the story told in this game was worth the time.

oh you're also playin FFXIV now nice desu, can't wait for your playthrough on ShB

That ending with Edmont hits even harder knowing the VA has passed :(

You'll cry smile hate fall in love Final Fanatsy 14 A Masterpiece Forever

When did this story play through start??!?! OMG I wish I could of watched from the beginning!

Heavensward will always have a special place in my heart. The dragon story is remarkable. Side note if you play dragoon when Estenian wakes, then lays his mantle down, he then calls you the Azure Dragoon. Every character in the story is irreplaceable, in my opinion.

Honoroit is such a sassy little knight aid lol

Nice :)

As a suggestion you should check out Tales from the Dragonsong War. Its a written side story... The last tale being, a letter from an our truest friend

as for who the flowers are for....it will eventually be told

@29:30 oh my sweet summer child

lol 20:20 was my reaction exactly.... forshadowing?

Your smile is beautiful.

Ah yes emotional damage ❤️

Im at... somewhere close to end StormBlood but I cant play.. I havent pay my subs 😂😂😂😂😂 Im also playing something else at the moment. But I hope to finish atleast Shadow Bringers before the new expansion comes...

I know you from anime reaction I didnt know the you play FFXIV one of my favorites games of all time

Did the VA's change for Estinien and Aymeric? They sound a bit different.

Ahm Eiln In Fhial!

Late welcome to the game 😊

First look at FFXIV's newest job, Ice Skater. :)

What about ccr7

RIP count Edmont voice actor

18:09 After seeing people prog dsr, I will never hear anything other than "I AM NAMED KYLE" lmao

Keep em coming. I cant wait till you play Shadowbringers.

I know I can't be the only one watching this video thinking--"she's going to be emotionally destroyed in ShB..."

Alana join the cry brigade. very skillful cry. such skill! best waifu 10/10 ♥

Are you going to play Spider Man 2

cAN't WAit TIll We SEe YOu Do STORMBLOOD, LOOKEd ON Your TWITCH And SAw YOu HAVENT STREAmed FF IN A WHILE, HOPE YOU DO SOON :)

Hah, wait until you get to Shadowbringers and Endwalker. You’ll see how much more mature Alphinaud is.

If you already cried at the finale, then wait for the full story of Shadowbringer, you'll need a huge supply of tissues. pure Perfection 🥲 take your time to enjoy the perfection of all this storys
