This one took a few all nighters, fueled by this song. I love this song so much, it has a lot of meaning to me, my wife and I had our first dance to this song! It's my first time trying to make something serious/ pretty. I hope I did a good job, and that it shows how much it means to me! Thank you for taking the time to watch! ❤
Wow! You should be so proud of yourself and gosh it’s such a good watch-got hella misty eyed 😭😭🤌🤌✨ now go rest and get some sleep bud! *brings ya a basket full of sandwiches* 🧺🥪🥤
This is so absolutely beautiful. Very very well done! I'm sure people could find things to nit-pick about but considering how quickly you got this done, and just how good it is, you have every right to ignore criticism and to just be proud of it.
I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU MADE HIM SING TO MY WARRIOR OF LIGHT??????????? HE ASKED ME FOR CLIPS AND YOU DO THIS? IM GOING TO STAY CRYING. 2:12 - 2:25 killed me ugh. Why are you like this? I'm so glad Ardbert is getting so much love lately.
At first, I thought this to be some sort collab you did. And on the surface, it would appear so. Though, personally, I feel it was more of a respectful love-letter to how much you care for Ardbert in the game. 🥰 The two of you now walk on... beyond the end... Blazing a trail towards a new dawn... together. 🤜🤛
"Through you, we live" ... it's so obvious that it's an Ardbert song now that we know, and it makes it hurt even more than it did before, which I didn't consider possible as during my Endwalker MSQ playthrough I was bawling through the entire Ultima Thule 😭
I love how Ardbet has a happy expression for most of the vid. It's a parting, but he's sending you off with a smile. A smile *sob* does *sob* indeed *sob* better suit a hero
Every time I listen to close in the distance I am astounded by the use of homophones for "mourning" and "morning". Really nails the message of finding hope where you can.
Bruh. I thought I was FINALLY getting over the reflexive tears when I hear this song. NOW THIS. This is a lovely, serious tribute to the character, the song, the game and to other players. Thank you for making this 😭
Gosh, thank you so much for saying so!! I'm so glad this is being received well, especially since it's so different than my other videos. Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️
Never would've imagined they'd confirm it was Ardbert's PoV but so glad they did, it restructures and changes the song in such a big way when you know it's coming from him, absolutely amazing. Thanks for making this. :D
The kindness in his eyes, the beautiful transitions into every scene, every bit of effort poured into this video was well worth it. Watching this made me tear up!!! Amazing job!!!!!
There was definetly times during all of the quests for Ultima Thule that I had to stop and just let myself cry. From Thancred all the way to the twins.... It was definetly just a string of emotions. The one "death" that broke me though was Graha. Graha held a special place in my heart even after meeting him. I couldnt bear the thought of losing him in Ultima Thule even right after making that promise. I couldnt tell you how much I screamed at the screen when he did that "heroic sacrifice." I basically fell nonverbal to the end patch with all the Elpis flowers. But hearing that Ardbert was confirmed to be singing this, makes it all the better. Anazing work with this video! Love it!
Beautiful. Breathtaking. I'm actually crying. You've got a knack for storytelling, animating, and editing. Keep it up, fellow WoL, and I know you'll make it to the edge of the universe and beyond.
I just got married in game to my platonic partner, Endwalker pulled me the hell out of depression in the moment, and my partner. dragged me out further kicking. Great job :D
@duskfallmusic Oh incredible! I enjoyed Endwalker so much, and this song especially!! I'm glad that you got support in your time of need! Sounds like an incredible partner 😄 Thank you so much for watching!!
So beautiful. I have a hard time hearing, especially in Ultima Thule. So getting to listen and understand the lyrics. Mean while Ardbert, doing his best to keep pushing us forward. I shed many tears, thank you for the video.
i instinctively pushed the walk toggle on before realizing "oh, they're doing that for you" before taking that first step in the final walk, game read my mind in that part
That was PRECIOUS. Sometimes I feel like Ardbert is such an underrated character because a lot of people are more into idk Zenos or something, but from the moment ShB happened he was so unforgettable to me! I always liked to call him my soulmate.
Me: I won't cry. I've cried enough because of this song already. No way I'll cry again. Ardbert: If you need a push, I'll be right there behind you. Me: starts bawling like a baby
Even though Soken confirmed that it was Ardbert he was thinking of, I loved that this song could have been seen from so many perspectives. The ones that came to me immediately following going through Ultima Thule were from the perspective of the Warrior themselves, recalling the Scions and all the people they had met along the way, or even the Scions themselves, and their hopes and faith in the Warrior and what they could accomplish. "Unbroken promises we made so long ago" reminded me so much of G'raha. But I like how from Ardbert's perspective, 'unbroken' becomes a word to describe the Warrior. Here we stand, through it all, gave so much, lost so much...and yet we remain, yet we walk on. Resilient in the face of despair. Unbroken.
Ahh, I'm so glad that my work elicits that kind of response! It shows that my efforts to make this meaningful were worth it! Thank you so much for watching!
Gonna miss that character a lot. In the short amount of time we was with him he made a such big impact. From being the bad guy that wanted to save his home. To giving up everything including his life as a hero. To helping us save ourselves and still able to save his home.
I recently finished Endwalker. I still cannot go to the final area for gathering purposes without my heart shattering. Probably still won't be able to for months. By the Twelve, this is beautiful and that cut-in brought tears to my eyes yet again.
Girl do I have news for you. It's been 2.5, almost 3 years for me and this song STILL makes me cry! Especially now with the revelation that it was from Ardbert!
The only character that understands the weight the WoL bears on their shoulders.. Thank you Ardbert for being my favorite character I have seen on screen
Can I just say that not only is your animation beautiful, you made such good use of the game's existing cutscenes! 😭 This filled me with so many tears and feelings and I'm just hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Truly took me back to the first time playing the game, and I'm currently in the middle of replaying SHB too so it feels like I got hit hard aaaaaaa excellent job with this!
First playing through this part in-game was a game-changer for me, and had me fall even more in love with the game. I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much and that it turned out this well! Thank you so much for watching!!! ❤
"If you need a push, I'll be right there behind you." I didn't cry in EW, not until I got to that part. And I was like: "Bestie! Come back!" Ugly crying like a child for a good whole 10 minutes before I could calm down.😭😭😭
This is my favorite song from FFXIV. To find out its sung in universe by my favorite character blew my mind and made my day. Thank you for this. It's beautiful.
It's honestly so cool to know that there were others who used this song at their wedding. My wife and I just got married in February and this was the song that was playing when I walked down the isle. I almost broke down in front of everyone because of what this song meant. Though if there was one song I'm glad I was able to choose for our first dance, that was Flow. As my wife and her mother were planning everything, I did not ask for much because I knew this was going to be the dream wedding she wanted more than anything. There were definitely things we both liked there and you could tell it was definitely a "nerd's" wedding. Lol! But, there was one thing that I wanted to pick more than anything and that was the song we were going to have for our first dance. I played Flow for her and her mother, and they both loved it and agreed to it. It was genuinely everything I could have hoped it would be.
@@FiohSion-FFXIV - Both are excellent songs, both can be sung from either perspective and I love that about them both. In the end, I felt it was better to do Flow as our song for our fist dance as that one felt more emotionally impactful. Which says A LOT when compared to Close in the Distance, a song I will literally sing at the top of my lungs EVERY TIME I HEAR IT PLAYED. Lol! I'm just happy to have been able to incorporate both into our big day. Glad to see I wasn't alone in that idea. :D
In my mind, when you’re about to take the walk in UT, toils of your friends who have passed got together and said “they can’t give up! We’ll show them they’re not alone.” And gathered memories of your allies for that walk. The last one “Let’s finish this” Ardbert lends you his strength one last time.
This song keeps breaking me, and now the video made it worse T-T I shed so much tears to the end of Endwalker. And seeing the connection with Ardbert makes it so much more beautiful. I love this with all of my heart!🥰
I feel you. The build up on the song was more worth than the money for the DLC itself. And you did a great job. My thanks belongs to you for making this ❤
this reminds me of that Justice League episode when Batman sings to save Diana from that pig spell. And everyone in the room starts crying because of how beautiful he sings for some reason.
I can't not stress this out on how beautiful this came out. I've been watching this on repeat. This song hit me pretty hard when I hit when I was dealing with stuff. I went thru the story and wasn't expecting my friends to show up at the end. I cried pretty hard without understanding myself. You're friends were right, you did amazing work. It's also adorable this was your first dance as a married couple. It's a great song. Be confident and give yourself more credit! ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words! The end of Endwalker is pretty powerful indeed, I enjoyed it a lot! I'll keep growing and improving, and maybe try out making even more serious toned projects in the future! ❤️
Even though my own Fem Highlander WoL, Laeticia, has yet to reach Endwalker, I know she’d be hit hard by this too. No words I have will ever be enough to describe the catharsis and beauty of this animation. So, all of which is to say, thank you for this.
Okay, I will say I saw this and at first I thought it was a joke, but the more I watched this, I'm in tears. Aaaah the feelings. This is so well done. Thank you for making this; it's the folks who create stuff like this that make the community better. Also that tidbit about you and your wife sharing this song as the first dance. Oh. Oh my heart. That is too and so cute I have cavities- I wish y'all much joy and happiness!
Ahh thank you so much! To be considered one of the people that betters the community warms my heart! Indeed, usually my videos are silly fever dreams, but this one I wanted to do right, bc of the reasons you listed! Thank you so much for your kind wishes!
A different tone than the usual for sure! While my brain does love making fever dreams, this one I felt in my heart to make it a serious one. Thank you so much for giving it a watch!!
Was so ready for something akin to WoL sings Lahee, I was not mentally prepared for this to be so touching. Held up until you hit us with the quote. XD Fantastic work on this!
Ahhhhh, it's definitely different from my normal fever dreams! I'm honestly so glad that I was able to make something like this, and have it been received well.... It was so nerve-wracking making something that had a deeper meaning to me. Thank you so much for watching!
At first seeing the title and thumbnail I was like "Oh another funny shitpost about Ardbert singing the theme" and then I saw the video and got emotional ... Good shit, love it.
Thank you so much!! I'm glad I was able to make something like this, it's very different from my other kinds of videos haha! Thank you so much for watching! ❤
OMG I AM CRYING 😭😭😭 thank you so much for this beautiful video. all of the feels just came rushing back and i'm reminded of why i this game means so much to me. that's so wonderful that you and your wife danced to this song at your wedding 🥰 thank you for making this and for sharing it with us!!
Sometimes, I find myself looking back at what I was feeling when I was first playing through parts of the story. Things from how the story hit, the players I've met, the goals I pushed for and achieved, and it reminds me about why I love this game! Having this song being my first dance song was a magical moment, and I'll never forget it! Thank you so much for taking your time to watch!! I really appreciate it! ❤️
He's not singing in front of an ocean, thats all the tears players shed
Oh hi there pal :D
I totally agree with you. That whole ending had me sobbing uncontrollably. And this video only made me wish we could have our ghostly companion back.
This game has jerked so many tears.. so many tears..
yep
@@haleyndj0105
Am now playing through msq for the second time with my tiny Lalafel because I want to experience it all again....😅
I love that The Primals confirmed this song is from Ardbert to our WoL's
For sure! It was a wonderful bit of news! Thank you for watching! ❤️
@@FiohSion-FFXIV "Let's finish this"
Absolutely broke me. I was surviving the song but then "If you need a push, I'll be right there behind you!" absolutely pushed me over.
Exactly the same spot for me
I'm so glad that that part turned out so well! Thank you so much for watching!! ❤
I agree and remember this video comes from same person who made a squirrl god S O S G
Ardbert takes his "If you need a push" very seriously.
Oh my god SAME--my heart 🤌🤌😭🔥💕
This one took a few all nighters, fueled by this song.
I love this song so much, it has a lot of meaning to me, my wife and I had our first dance to this song!
It's my first time trying to make something serious/ pretty. I hope I did a good job, and that it shows how much it means to me!
Thank you for taking the time to watch! ❤
Wow! You should be so proud of yourself and gosh it’s such a good watch-got hella misty eyed 😭😭🤌🤌✨ now go rest and get some sleep bud!
*brings ya a basket full of sandwiches* 🧺🥪🥤
You did a great job! Thank you very much for bringing this to life
You did a good job, i loved that ^^
Please do more :D
This is so absolutely beautiful. Very very well done! I'm sure people could find things to nit-pick about but considering how quickly you got this done, and just how good it is, you have every right to ignore criticism and to just be proud of it.
Not going to lie, I was expecting a twist through most of it.
So glad you played it straight.
I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU MADE HIM SING TO MY WARRIOR OF LIGHT???????????
HE ASKED ME FOR CLIPS AND YOU DO THIS? IM GOING TO STAY CRYING.
2:12 - 2:25 killed me ugh. Why are you like this?
I'm so glad Ardbert is getting so much love lately.
My first reaction was " No way...is that?!?!" and the comment section confirmed it lol.
Thank you so much for sending the clips!! It tied everything together so so well!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 😄
OMG I thought I recognized her LOL
Immediately recognized that WoL!
At first, I thought this to be some sort collab you did. And on the surface, it would appear so.
Though, personally, I feel it was more of a respectful love-letter to how much you care for Ardbert in the game. 🥰
The two of you now walk on... beyond the end... Blazing a trail towards a new dawn... together. 🤜🤛
Viewing this song through Ardbert’s perspective really made me realize: This song is about self love.
Awwww, what a nice interpretation! I love it. Thank you so much for watching!
"Ardbert you don't have to go that hard it's just a hunt-"
WHISPERS, FALLING SILENTLY DRIFT ON THE WIIIIIIIIIND
Ardbert shall support you whatever activity you do hahaha thank you so much for watching!!
"Through you, we live" ... it's so obvious that it's an Ardbert song now that we know, and it makes it hurt even more than it did before, which I didn't consider possible as during my Endwalker MSQ playthrough I was bawling through the entire Ultima Thule 😭
Yea that bit of news was shocking! Definitely puts it in a different perspective. Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
PTSD of a warrior of light singing LAHI just came back...
Those all-nighters were worth every bit of it, brother. May this song still bear its meaning to you throughout the rest of your life.
It shall. Thank you so much for watching! I'm so thankful that my efforts were worth it! ❤
I love how Ardbet has a happy expression for most of the vid. It's a parting, but he's sending you off with a smile. A smile *sob* does *sob* indeed *sob* better suit a hero
*Ardbert
It does indeed! I'm so glad that I was able to show that in a way that was noticeable! Thank you so much for watching!
Every time I listen to close in the distance I am astounded by the use of homophones for "mourning" and "morning". Really nails the message of finding hope where you can.
I agree! It's a really cool use of those words 😊 Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
For those we lost and for those we can yet save we forge ahead.
Bruh. I thought I was FINALLY getting over the reflexive tears when I hear this song.
NOW THIS.
This is a lovely, serious tribute to the character, the song, the game and to other players.
Thank you for making this 😭
Gosh, thank you so much for saying so!! I'm so glad this is being received well, especially since it's so different than my other videos. Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️
this is so absolutely amazing but also how DARE you with the cut in of Ardbert partway through the song that made me cry
That part took me a while to get to the right point! I'm so glad that it's being received well... Thank you so much for watching! ❤
Never would've imagined they'd confirm it was Ardbert's PoV but so glad they did, it restructures and changes the song in such a big way when you know it's coming from him, absolutely amazing. Thanks for making this. :D
It was an honor to make it! Thank you so much for watching, and yes! It definitely changes the perspective when you know Ardbert is singing it! ❤️
The kindness in his eyes, the beautiful transitions into every scene, every bit of effort poured into this video was well worth it. Watching this made me tear up!!! Amazing job!!!!!
Thank you so much for watching! I'm so glad to see that my efforts were worth it, I also teared up a few times while making it!
"If you need a push, I'll be right there behind you". That little cinematic cut broke me. Ardbert is best Bro of Light.
He really is the best!!! I'm so glad that cut worked out and resonated with you! Thank you so much for watching! 🙏😊

Indeed, Ultima Thule was a really emotional sequence of events for sure! The whole vibe of the area was beautiful! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
Beautiful. Breathtaking. I'm actually crying. You've got a knack for storytelling, animating, and editing. Keep it up, fellow WoL, and I know you'll make it to the edge of the universe and beyond.
Thank you for such kind words! I'll keep doing my best and bringing my ideas (both silly and serious) to life!
I just got married in game to my platonic partner, Endwalker pulled me the hell out of depression in the moment, and my partner. dragged me out further kicking. Great job :D

the way i jumped out of my chair when i recognized tiffany, GOD you did WONDERS HERE
YEA! She was amazing with the clips she sent my way to make this!! Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️
Everytime I listen to this song I instantly tear up. It's too beautiful of a song
It's an incredible song indeed!!! Thank you so much for watching!! 🥰
So beautiful. I have a hard time hearing, especially in Ultima Thule. So getting to listen and understand the lyrics. Mean while Ardbert, doing his best to keep pushing us forward. I shed many tears, thank you for the video.
Thank you so much for watching! Yea, the lyrics have a different perspective now that it's confirmed that Ardbert sings it to the WoL, it's great!!
The way you made him song on the surface of the sea reminds me that he is so close to be in the aethereal sea but he chose to stay with us
i instinctively pushed the walk toggle on before realizing "oh, they're doing that for you" before taking that first step in the final walk, game read my mind in that part
I did the exact same thing!! They knew for sure haha Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
That was PRECIOUS. Sometimes I feel like Ardbert is such an underrated character because a lot of people are more into idk Zenos or something, but from the moment ShB happened he was so unforgettable to me! I always liked to call him my soulmate.
Oh Aitherea!!! Yea Ardbert is such a great character, I'm a huge fan of him! Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️
I'm not crying... you're crying. *wipes the tear from his cheek*
Me: I won't cry. I've cried enough because of this song already. No way I'll cry again.

I loved the little touch that he is performing in the Honey Bee,
Hehehe, it was the best stage I could find!
My arms had goosebumps so bad they prickled. I'm not crying.YOU'RE CRYING!!
Ahh, I'm so glad that my work elicits that kind of response! It shows that my efforts to make this meaningful were worth it! Thank you so much for watching!
Ardbert really be inside us like TFS piccolo/nail
Gonna miss that character a lot. In the short amount of time we was with him he made a such big impact. From being the bad guy that wanted to save his home. To giving up everything including his life as a hero. To helping us save ourselves and still able to save his home.
Loved this, beautifully done and you broke me with the grasp for Ardbert. Stop cutting onions in here, dammit 😭😭❤️
Ahhh, thank you so much for watching!! I'm glad so many people are receiving this so well!
The most beautiful of things don't come from a smile.
They come from that which flows from the heart. ❤
I appreciate you saying that! It definitely took a lot to make this. Thank you so much for watching!
“If you need a push I’ll be right there behind you” why did you do this to me 🥺😭
I watched the concert with my bf and knowing this was a song from Ardbert to WoL broke me during that concert 😭
It was a crazy bit of news! I had to make this after hearing about it. Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
FEM HIGHLANDER WOL
I DIDN'T THINK THIS COULD BE ANY MORE AWESOME ALREADY IF ARDBERT WAS SINGING BUT FEM HIGHLANDER WOL
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I can't believe you're crying because of a game.
The game:
It's a beautiful game! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
I recently finished Endwalker. I still cannot go to the final area for gathering purposes without my heart shattering. Probably still won't be able to for months.

Thank you so much, and I totally agree! I love this song so much, and I'm so glad you enjoyed my take on it! ❤
Just when you thought everyone sacrified for you - there is still someone who pushes you forward, and that's my takeaway from that!
Awesome takeaway! I love that perspective, you're never alone! Thank you so much for watching!
God, this song gets the tears rolling within the first second. It's such a powerful piece.

Very nicely done.
It was only a few days ago I discovered that the singer is in fact the voice actor who played Raubahn in ARR.
Omg my Ardi glad no one forget him iam so thankfull for that Video
Whole video is a 'Try Not To Cry' challenge. This was so beautifully done!
I definitely cried a bit while making this as well! The song has a bunch of meaning for me. Thank you for watching!! ❤️
this reminds me of that Justice League episode when Batman sings to save Diana from that pig spell.
And everyone in the room starts crying because of how beautiful he sings for some reason.
I can't not stress this out on how beautiful this came out. I've been watching this on repeat. This song hit me pretty hard when I hit when I was dealing with stuff. I went thru the story and wasn't expecting my friends to show up at the end. I cried pretty hard without understanding myself. You're friends were right, you did amazing work. It's also adorable this was your first dance as a married couple. It's a great song. Be confident and give yourself more credit! ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words! The end of Endwalker is pretty powerful indeed, I enjoyed it a lot! I'll keep growing and improving, and maybe try out making even more serious toned projects in the future! ❤️
@@FiohSion-FFXIV I'll be looking forward to those projects and more in the future!
Wasnt expecting to start crying.
Haha, it's definitely different from my usual stuff! Thank you so much for watching!!
Even though my own Fem Highlander WoL, Laeticia, has yet to reach Endwalker, I know she’d be hit hard by this too.
No words I have will ever be enough to describe the catharsis and beauty of this animation.
So, all of which is to say, thank you for this.
@serinahighcomasi2248 Awww, thank you so much!! Those are very kind words, I really appreciate it! ❤️
i still love this video. i forgot you mentioned you had a youtube account here and saw this on my recommendations. :D
Oh gosh! Thank you so much for checking it out here as well!! I appreciate your support!!! ❤️
Я об этом никогда не задумывалась, но теперь эта мысль разбила моё сердце.
It's been a year... I cannot keep myself from crying every time I hear this song.
I understand! It's a very powerful song! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
Yeah. You right
Okay, I will say I saw this and at first I thought it was a joke, but the more I watched this, I'm in tears. Aaaah the feelings. This is so well done. Thank you for making this; it's the folks who create stuff like this that make the community better.
Also that tidbit about you and your wife sharing this song as the first dance. Oh. Oh my heart. That is too and so cute I have cavities- I wish y'all much joy and happiness!
Ahh thank you so much! To be considered one of the people that betters the community warms my heart!
Indeed, usually my videos are silly fever dreams, but this one I wanted to do right, bc of the reasons you listed! Thank you so much for your kind wishes!
That was a very touching video. It certainly wasnt what I expect to see on this channel, but it was very much welcome as a surprise.
A different tone than the usual for sure! While my brain does love making fever dreams, this one I felt in my heart to make it a serious one. Thank you so much for giving it a watch!!
2:12 - 2:25 hit me in the feels, I couldn't help but start tearing up a little.
Ahh, I'm so glad that part hit right, it took a bit to get it the way I wanted it to! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
i'm not crying, you're crying!
Was so ready for something akin to WoL sings Lahee, I was not mentally prepared for this to be so touching.
Held up until you hit us with the quote. XD Fantastic work on this!
Thank you so much for watching! I'm so glad that moment hit right for people it took a while to get it right!
What the- I expected something funny, joking again, all that.
And now you hit us with this, this was so absolutely beautiful and broke my heart 😢🩷
Ahhhhh, it's definitely different from my normal fever dreams! I'm honestly so glad that I was able to make something like this, and have it been received well.... It was so nerve-wracking making something that had a deeper meaning to me. Thank you so much for watching!
i wont cry i wont cry i wont cry (cries instantly)
At first seeing the title and thumbnail I was like "Oh another funny shitpost about Ardbert singing the theme" and then I saw the video and got emotional ... Good shit, love it.
Haha thank you so much for watching!! Yea it's definitely different what I usually do, but I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
too soon!
too.
fucking
soon.
I was really hoping the WOL would pick up the mic, and be like "Do you know....La Hee?"
Now to put this on repeat as I hit trees in Ultima Thule for 4 hours.
I got shivers at the pause. Well done!
Thank you so much!! That part took me a bit to get right, so I'm so glad it's being received well! Thank you so much for watching!
It gave me goosebumps. Well done.
love it. Feel like i just seeing all of the story in such short instance again.
I swear Im not chopping onions 😭.
This is beautifully done!
Thank you so much!! I'm glad I was able to make something like this, it's very different from my other kinds of videos haha! Thank you so much for watching! ❤
2:13 scene w/ Ardbert is my favorite part! This is a lovely video.
Oh thank you so much!! That part took me a while to get right, so I'm so glad it's being received well!
I'm not crying, you're crying. 😭
I was holding it together until
> "If you need a push, I'm right there behind you."
and then I just fucking *broke.* 11/10.
Ahhh, I'm so glad that part resonates with people! Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️
Well. This made me cry.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching!!
@@FiohSion-FFXIV And thank you so much for making this ♥
Amazing, this is my favorite song in the entire game. I post up in the field of dynamis just to sit and listen.
Thats a really pretty spot!!! I like the balcony of the Watcher's Palace to chill sometimes. Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
@@FiohSion-FFXIV Back again, needed this, your animations are so smooth. Just, to see our boi Ardbert again...*sniffles*
OMG I AM CRYING 😭😭😭 thank you so much for this beautiful video. all of the feels just came rushing back and i'm reminded of why i this game means so much to me. that's so wonderful that you and your wife danced to this song at your wedding 🥰 thank you for making this and for sharing it with us!!
Sometimes, I find myself looking back at what I was feeling when I was first playing through parts of the story. Things from how the story hit, the players I've met, the goals I pushed for and achieved, and it reminds me about why I love this game! Having this song being my first dance song was a magical moment, and I'll never forget it!
Thank you so much for taking your time to watch!! I really appreciate it! ❤️
@@FiohSion-FFXIV ahh that's so special! 😊
