      Unfortunately, he's a terrible liar.

      This didn’t make any sense to me. What’s the point pretending to be evil just say you are sacrificing yourself at that moment rather than creating some random drama. Actually made me feel the opposite about him and didn’t like him as he lied to us for no reason.

    This is one of the hardest hitting story beats. The idea of having us fail, of having everything we accomplished thus far fall apart. It makes all that joy we felt, and joy we brought to the people of Norvrandt suddenly turn to ash.
    It gives us that sense of triumph and then rips it all away.
    It's brilliant. What better way to have you identify with the characters of your WoL and Ardbert, then by putting you the player through the same experience as the characters. Failure, loss, guilt, frustration... and then having to find the resolve to continue regardless.

    you and i had similar reactions to the Exarch's reveal. I got so pissed until Y'shtola said that he would not live to see another world. I began to cry when the Exarch began to speak. Hood flies back and I just scream "WHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT!?!?!?!" I later asked my now husband "Was that G'Raha?"
    his response: "Yes and he's been waiting for you here this whole time."

      Honestly I dont get how this was a twist I figured it out in the first fifteen seconds of seeing him? Like maybe if you hadn't played ARR content in a couple years, but I'd played from ARR up to Shadowbringers and was like "oh hey its catboy"

    Even knowing it's just part of the story and I have no control over it, the moment when my character opened the window and saw the Light back in the sky, I felt like I had personally failed.

    • @LittleHobbit13

      Same. And then when you're talking to Ardbert on the tower about wanting to tell everyone, I felt _horrible_ knowing I was lying to all these good people who cared about me and who put their trust in me. The writing in ShB is truly phenomenal.

    What pushed me to finally buy and play this game, was actually that cutscene with the reveal of the Exarch
    There's a Guild Wars 2 streamer I watch (Laranity) who also sometimes play FFXIV and was going through the story. I'd mostly been uninterested because no matter how amazing everyone called it, I never wanted to touch a game with a sub fee. But one day I decided "why not? I'll watch some of the stream today. Since spoilers rarely ruin experiences for me and I don't plan on playing anyway."
    It was that exact moment: 'call him by his name'.
    And I went: "Damn. OK. Fuck it, I'm buying this game." And the rest is history lmao. I still haven't reached this part myself, I'm VERY slow, so I skipped through just to see your reaction to that part. I've started to care about spoiling myself a bit, at least for MSQ.
    SOMETIMES spoilers are a good thing 🤭 I would've never played this masterpiece otherwise.

      To be fair, if he had done anything else, with all the Light and sparkling aether in the scene, it would have made it more confusing.
      Emet-Selch pulling a gun makes it very clear _exactly_ what happened to the Exarch. You don't have to worry, or be confused about what spell he hit him with. He cast bullet.

    When Shadowbringers first launched, the Crystal Tower raids were optional and many people had got here and the reveal didn't mean anything to them. I had stopped playing after Heavensward and had never done any raids, but thankfully someone told me ahead of time that it would be in my best interest to do so and I did the raids before I got here.

    I only recently finished Shadowbringers myself..... and I have to admit my reaction was a little different. Because it went ".... I know you survive, I've seen the gifs of you eating a Taco. I know I survive, because there's literally an expansion after this and then one after that coming out soon, and they're not going to kill off a PC in an MMORPG that's still ongoing."
    It did cement my love for Raha though. That did happen.

    • @DioxJXD
      @DioxJXD 19 днів тому

      While all that is correct and makes sense, they did kill off a beloved character in this MMORPG with expansions down the line so while in hindsight for new players there is no worry if they happen to see media, its not outside the realm of truth to say they might kill off an important or beloved character at times in this game. Killing off the PC is, of course, extremely unlikely given the kind of game it is, obviously.

    • @ericbright1742
      @ericbright1742 Місяць тому +2

      It's absolutely obvious and telegraphed, because the twist isn't that it's been G'raha the whole time. The twist is that the plan from the beginning was he was going to sacrifice himself to save your life. He took active steps to stop you and the Scions from saving him, and he tried to play the villain so you wouldn't mourn him when he did.
      It was the culmination of all those reveals, and the "you were right the whole time," that triggers the huge emotional response.
