    Thank you for acknowledging the Crystal Exarch as a separate character to G’raha Tia. That loss, albeit quite brief, still resonates with us and won’t fade over time.

      If you played, or known SOMA before, you'll realized that even if we return G'raha with The Exarch memories. At least One of him, the real(original) Exarch died, forever stood tall on that tower.
      Makes this scene even better.

  • @linah1998
    @linah1998 Місяць тому

    Haurchefant will never not get me. It's not just the scene itself but the whole entire context around it. He was already super kind and helpful during ARR and then took us in when we had no other place to go post ARR. The Fortemps basically adopted us and we helped out his brothers several times, it really made Ishgard feel like a home to me (especially since I coincidentally started the game as an Elezen dragoon and thus also already knew Estinien beforehand as well). Haurchefant himself is also just one of the most optimistic, loyal and friendly characters we had met, it was so easy to like him for his personality alone.
    Then having to tell his father about his death is almost even more heartbreaking than the death scene itself. It hurts when you encounter his brothers and talk to them and they reference him in regards to their own motivations in life. Then the full circle moment of his ghost appearing again to help you pull out the eyeball during Dragonsong. His father writing down the events of HW and his portrait being above the seat he used to occupy in Dragon Stone.. it's still the most impactful death to me because of how well crafted all these details around it were.
    Oh and then ofc the absolute emotional damage that is Dragonsong's Reprise

    #5 hit me. SB was going okay so far and I did enjoy a few parts, but seeing those two…. God I couldn’t help but to tear up XD Honestly, they aren’t lovers, but damn their friendship is unmatched. I really love those two together as great friends
    #4 also hit me really hard. I was streaming and struggled in disbelief and I tried so hard to say please don’t say anything. You’re going to be fine. But my damn heart prevented it and just fumbled my words x.x While still live, I was at a halt and couldn’t move. I was legit crying losing him. I also normally talk when there aren’t any voices, but wow….. for the past few minutes, I couldn’t. I could only respond and jeez… I had to continue
    #6 didn’t hit me, but after that moment and realizing everything he had done… despite some acts were a bit too much, the reason behind it…. it was no malice. He lost a lot of things, too, and was also fighting for them. Then… I realized what a fantastic villain he was up to the point even going to EW, I just reflect back to Emet and remembered what he fought for. No spoilers for EW, but it’s something integrated my mind when we fought

    I would say for me. It was the ending sequence of Endwalker from Alphinaud, Allisaie, and Y'shotla reviving our avatars from the Ragnorok to the ending credits when our Warriors of Light was recognized from finishing the Hydaelon/Zodiark Saga. Also, Shadowbridgers episode 2 when Ardbert appears to save us from the Light and becomes of the hero of the 1st, as we both fight together as one. I do not know if I was actually sobbing but more rooting for him and his comrades. These two, for me, were quite emotional of happy thoughts.

He has stood by me thru thick and thin and would give his very life to ensure I have the strength to stand and fight and live. He is my hero.

    Layna... she did it for me the most. You knew all along that she loved G'raha Tia. It broke my heart to see her cry so. I really wanted to hug her.
