    I think it's sad that in game Furina isn't rewarded or given credit by the people of Fontaine. She was just given a place to stay and nothing more and worse is that she is being hated by some people because she deceived them. She single handedly saved a whole nation for 500 years. Not even once did she think for herself. She stayed true to her role to protect Fontaine and its people.

      Never once in the Archon Quest or Furina story quest, it is mentioned that her secret has been revealed to the people of Fontaine, so it's might not be so strange how they treated her, even the people of Poisson still resented her for doing nothing to prevent the disaster. I don't know why Neuvilette didn't tell everyone, neither Focalors or Furina told him to keep it a secret anymore, but I guess he has a reason to not share it with the citizens.
      I really hope Neuvilette disclose this information to the people of Fontaine in a future version, and everyone ask her to become their Archon once more.

    God the music swelling while remaining somber when Neuvillete forgives Fontaine’s sins is so good. It’s such an excellent culmination of his character arc - going from admitting to Navia that he thought Callas was guilty because he couldn’t imagine someone prioritizing another’s life more highly than their own to witnessing Focalor sacrifice herself for all her people, unable to do more than trust and rely on him to do so while embodying her own Justice - so very close to what Neuvillete himself espoused what he now believed Justice to be at the end of the second act, but amplified tenfold.

    The only thing that annoys me about Furina is how surprisingly altruistic she can be and how little she loves herself, even in her character conversation she admits to you that she was mentally abusing herself a lot until not long ago and now she tries to go shopping to distract herself with nonsense since, basically, it is therapeutic for her.
    When the traveler wanted her to tell him the truth she wondered if she had the right to be a little selfish, when they brought her "primordial water" to check if she was an archon, even though it wasn't primordial water, she thought she was and although She knew the effect that water has on mortals, she was willing to sacrifice her life and put her hand in primordial water... Implying that to keep her secret and be able to save Fontaine... She would give her life.
    When everything was over, Furina packed up her things like a normal human and went to live in a home in very terrible conditions, far from everything and without a drop of credit for what she did.
    This is explained in texts when you have her as a character.
    Clorinde decides to visit her and was petrified when she saw the conditions in which she lived.
    It was from there that Furina got a better home and all expenses were covered by Neuvillete and are still covered by him but what makes me sad is that if it were up to her, she wouldn't mind living in terrible conditions.
    As a reflection of Furina's psychology, I can say that she has little self-love towards herself.

    "So many years. For a time uncountable, I have laid hidden. Not a soul to give me company. I watched everyone I love smile, but not for me. I watched everyone I love laugh, but not with me. I watched everyone I know cry, but I could not comfort them.
    I too, wanted to smile. But there was no one to make me. I too wanted to laugh. But there was nothing to laugh about. I too wanted to cry. I did.
    Again and again, I cried. I cried, seeing the future I always longed for through the eyes of someone that was not me. I cried, seeing that sight again and again.
    You may think I cried out of loneliness. You may think I cried in pain. But no.
    I cried, not because I saw the future I longed for through her eyes. I cried, not because I was lonely, despite seeing everyone I loved.
    I cried, because I knew fully well... that I burdened those I loved with so much horrible things. I cried, because I had to see them suffer through their own eyes.
    That is, what truly made me cry in my endless solitude.
    But alas... the time has finally come. The time of liberation. Let me be honest - I wish this wasn't my end. I do fear death. I fear it, possibly even more than you, for I never even lived. But at the same time, I am so happy. So happy that I can finally end this masquerade. That after all those years of suffering, I can finally right the wrongs. That I can finally lift the burden and return true justice to those that I have spent so much time loving in solitude.
    And most of all, I am so happy, that at least in this final moment...
    ... I am not alone. Thank you. Thank you for carrying on for so long. Thank you for staying strong. You are wonderful. I am so sorry.
    Goodbye, my beloved.
    May we never see each other again."

    Thank you for this, ngl this archon quest made me cry when the Focalors did the Dance of Sacrifice and when Furina was stuck these 500 years, crying in pain and couldn't even share her feelings with anyone cuz if she do, all her hardwork would wash away, and then, when the truth came out, she just stopped trying and sat down on the chair and only cried because she knew that now she can't do anything and all that work of 500 years is washed away, that made me cry and also when the screen appears "Thank you, Furina for everything you've done, please live happily as a human, just as I wished we could" It made me cry hard ngl

    I'm really happy someone was able to create a remake of this! It was my favorite OST from the entire AQ so I'm glad I can listen to the instrumental in the background while I do my work, so thank you for all your time!
    I've also seen some comments in regards to how the thumbnail and title may be a spoiler. In that regards, I think "Focalors Farewell" would work just as well if not better than "Focalors Sacrifice" since it sounds a bit more ambiguous and there are already a few cutscene videos titled similarly. As for the thumbnail, maybe a picture of Furina's hat on the ground or Neuvillette crying? Honestly, I don't think there's really any way to title or thumbnail this in a manner that completely avoids any and every spoiler so that really sucks, but I hope you can find a good resolve because I would hate to see you get hate for something like that

      Hey thank you for your kind and constructive comment! I also had some of the quest spoiled by a comment on my video (intentionally), so I understand how people may feel.
      I've changed the title to what you suggested! Hopefully it's better fitting. I've kept the thumbnail the same since I figured people who've played the quest will know what it is, and people who haven't won't. Like you said, it's hard to title or thumbnail the video that completely avoids any spoiler without making it impossible to find for people who want to find it... this will naturally resolve with time, but I thank you for your comment!

    Focalors's death hit me so hard that I started to cry all the way down to the end of the quest. She chose to sacrificed herself for her people. Everything she wanted was just to become a human and live the life she dreamed for. Then she let Furina exist, gave her a human form that she wished she could be. Furina was forced to play a role as a Hydro Archon for 500 hundred years. She is just a human! How can a human heart could stand still for this cruel torture? Even if she was free to be a human, the role she played this 500 hundred years will become her haunt until the last day of her life. For Neuvillete, his friend was gone in front of his eyes. We all could feel the sadness when he was talking with Forcalor and by the expression on his face. He didn't know much about human emotion, yet his voice showed how painful he was. At the end of this scene, everything we saw was Neuvillete's loneliness. He was standing there without anyone by his side...
