      @@seldumonde the best villain doesn't necessarily needs be one that makes you wonder if they are right, they could be just a crazy that wants to become god, but a villain with a good motivation definitely hits harder when done right... the problem is actually doing it right. shadowbringers was so good because you can understand Emet-selch motivation, and its easy to believe he is right, but at the same time letting he succeed means sacrificing everything you care for. so neither side is wrong, they just want different things. if the rest of the game didn't try so hard to make the Ancians as cartoonish vilains as possible, they would have been so much better.

      @@danilooliveira6580 dunno about that. I think that because they made the cartoon villains at the start that it made such a bigger impact here. When we first met them, we just thought that they were the "bad guys". 1 dimensional characters with nothing else but to be bad. It's only when we actually get to this that we see that they are a lot more. They have have a goal that isn't bad. It's a simple wish a lot of people have, to have their home. And it's because we never looked at them until this patch that we see they really are more than just twirling mustache villains. It's great growth in a story and character to see it expanded like this and makes you look and think about it too. Maybe all those villains we write off as just bad guys, might be lot more. Their story just well hidden or unexplained.

      you are not lying. I think Emet-Selch is 1000 times better then Sephiroth, kefka or any other RPG villain that I can think of because you truly understand the intent behind his "evil" actions and if you were in his shoes you would clearly want the same thing and come to the same realization...such an AMAZING character and story! Such an amazing example of how "good" and "evil" in our world are very rarely so clearly cut and dry. Look how a simple bit of added knowledge or a small shift in the perception of history will totally change how one sees Good vs Evil.
      In truth the "Good" ones in history are often simply the ones who wins the wars and slander the other as "Evil"

    In my opinion, Emet-Selch is one of the most well-written characters/villains I've seen, because we GET him. We totally understand why he does everything he does. His motives, his intentions, his love, and his dispair. Even though we only knew him within Shadowbringers, I feel like we've known him for so much longer. He left such a lasting impression. At the end, I really wish we didn't have to kill him. I wish there was some other alternative ending, but it had to be done. I really want to know how Square Enix will be able to one-up themselves after this.

      I agree. I wish he could have stayed, although I knew that things would probably end in a battle to the death, as adamant as he was about Rejoining. I wonder at what point in the final fight he realized who we were a shard of, going from “Die pathetic shade!” to “It’s you, of course it’s you...old friend.” The writers really worked magic in making Emet a villain that still feels like an old friend, even while he opposes you.

    So, I played World of Warcraft since The Burning Crusade and left in Battle for Azeroth for FF14 as my MMO of choice 100% (hiatus in WoD and Legion for FF14). Nothing and I mean nothing, in a decade of World of Warcraft comes close to this game when it comes to direction, cinematography, canon, writing comes close. The closest I can even think of - and it's a stretch - is the Battle of Angrathar the Wrathgate in WOTLK. But that PALES in comparison.

      @@nerdychocobo I think this is actually a point of misconception for a lot of people that I'd like to mention. Although wholly ironic and understandable there is a commonly missed point he makes: we are the shattered souls, just as the shattered star. Thus the people he cares about and is trying to save IS us. "Would half your number give their lives to save the other half?" We and every person, every elemental, every shard, are all tiny pieces of the original selves that ARE that other half.
      So when we actively work against their wishes, it is similar to a drowning person pushing away the lifeguard. And Emet (among others) have dealt with some variation of us over the eons doing the same things, saying the same things, and asserting the same ideas while they watch just flounder either in weak echoes of what power we used to have or in full entropy doing 'normal life' things. The point of contention was never the end result of the Rejoinings, the issue has been how the reconstruction was happening.
      Without spoilers, this is made more so apparent when we learn of what exactly brought about Hydaelyn and why it was meant to check Zodiark.

      @@danilooliveira6580 and I think that’s the part that’s the most sad. In another version of this world Emet and the other surviving Ancients could have chosen to see the peoples of the star as their children, their legacy. Instead of measuring our worth, they could have become our eternal teachers.
      they could have lived up to their role as stewards to the star. They chose instead to lose that purpose by losing themselves in the past.

    There are bunch of subtle fun notes in this finale.
    Remember how every main boss and trial you've done so far always came with a name and title? "Lightwarden: Titania" "Cthonic Riddle: Therion"... And then Hades is just "Hades".
    But he DID say to do away with titles and pretense...
    I assume you noticed Urianger in the end? He's floating face-down in the water in the most lower-left corner of the screen (unfortunately right behind your video inset).
    And Ardberts Bravura is finally no longer bloodstained...
    You said you kindof liked Emet, and that's the point. He dared to try and like us, too. He dared to put faith in us... after a thousand thousand years of letdowns. And that's why he got so angry when he got disappointed yet again...

    Something I noticed when G'raha does the Summoning. There are 7 lights right?
    My FC leader told me it was because it was an 8-man trial. I think there's another reason: There were 14 shards of the original world right? (including the Source) There are 6 known calamities as revealed earlier in SHB. Additionally, the thirteenth shard was confirmed to become The Void at the hands of the Ascians for not knowing what they were doing to cause a rejoining.
    14-6-1=7. 7 Lights. 7 Shards. While those are other players, they're supposed to be the WoL from the other 7 shards being summoned to help you take down Hades.
    At least that's my theory.

    As amazing as this is, one thing always bugged me about the line
    "Let us imagine that the laws of reality are again undone, and the world faces true annihilation. Do you honestly believe that half your number would sacrifice themselves to save the other?"
    Because that... kind of happened. Innumerable people in the Exarch's future dedicated their lives to creating the means to send the Tower to the First, despite the fact that doing so would make them never exist in the first place. They sacrificed more than their lives, they sacrificed their very existence, just to have a shot of setting things right, of saving the world.
    Of course, Emet doesn't know that, but I wanted the ability to tell him, to reveal this proof that these sundered souls carry the same capacity for sacrifice as the Ancients. But the writers don't seem to have noticed.

      Unfortunately, Emet is also Tempered.
      That means that the only real options he REALLY wants to consider is the one that will bring the Rejoining.
      If we would be able to point this out he would likely reprimand us to note that these are then the people of the future. A future AFTER the next Rejoining. Where maybe, MAYBE the people of the Source have actually grown worthy of inheriting it. But that is not now, and that is not you. So what you're saying is then that the Calamity will make them all 'better' people for having made the sacrifice. And that will be the mental gymnastics that will allow him to ignore our valid points.

      @@TarossBlackburn while he is tempered its also clear that tempering for zodiark works differently to lesser primals. The tempered invariably grow to be idiots from the experience as their compulsion to serve their God supercedes everything else they care about. Emet was evidently in fairly full control of his faculties and earnestly considered changing course should these mortals somehow persuade him otherwise. It's implied that the ascians were tempered only so far as that they would not budge on bringing zodiark back, but their opinions on the details of how to get there and on the underlying validity of the project were fundamentally their own.
      Zodiark was designed by the amaurotines after all and they knowingly and voluntarily became tempered. I imagine it was along the lines of "compulsion to protect the star" where Zodiark was the manmade will of that star. Perhaps it was a way to also keep their creation magics from damaging their home as their will was already superceded on that issue by this planetary will.
