I love the fact that even those of his friends who backstabbed him are sitting at that table, it really showed how alone Edward felt that even those who sould have seen him dead he still considers freinds
The ending is such a unique one. It leaves you with a feeling of emptiness from seeing all his friends at the table, but then happiness because he is united with his daughter. But the real kicker is when you think of hisstory, and what he had to do and witness for this to happen. This is why the ending is arguably one of the best game endings ever
I remember it like it was yesterday. I cried in the end, because it was my most favourite AC story. People love Ezio but I still havent played it so I dunno. I've had Edwards statue in my room when I was kid and now we have it in our place in living room. If I'll have kids and they'll ask who is this hooded guy I'll show them this masterpiece.
“For years I've been rushing around, taking whatever I fancied, not giving a tinker's curse for those I hurt. Yet here I am... with riches and reputation, feeling no wiser than when I left home. And when I turn around, and look at the course I've run... there's not a man or woman that I love left standing beside me” - Edward Kenway
It really catches you off guard and in the feels when games that at first just seem like murder sims have one of the most investing and tragic plots in pop culture. AC4 and RDR2 were the pinnacles of my gaming career.
I like to think Arthur and Edward would have gotten along. Theyre not so different after all. Good hearted men who have done awful things in the name of love and riches. Both backstabbed, both lost everyone they love. And both like a good drink.
This hits different cause imagine telling your girl you’re leaving for a little bit to make some money, and then you get caught up in some crazy otherworldly war. Ultimately just to find out your girl had your child, then died, and you weren’t there to care for her or your child.
Thats not why its so sad. The fact that Edward told her he would be back, then made the conscious decision to not return for years is that sad part. Sure he got caught up in other things but its not as if he couldn't leave, his constant pursuit of reputation and riches is what led him to where he is. Alone, without a single person left standing beside him. Him choosing not to go home then finding out Caroline had died was what cuts so deep, of hed went home with the money he had made beforehand she may have lived.
And then that son joined the very otherworldly faction that vies for global interdimensional/ interplanetary domination by collecting ancient tech from godlike aliens who created humanity .
@@theadministrator2641Joining the Templars is not the problem for me, they have a cause I can get behind. But betraying his own family for it made it unforgivable.
"Will I see a whale?" "There's a good chance, yes" "What about a pirate?" "Heh... not much chance of that, no" Edward will always be my favourite Assassin.
That pirate response is rather sad. All the great pirates that he fought alongside or against have passed on. Like he said “And not a single person I love beside me”
SomeAustrianGuy is a good way of telling that no matter how important, strong or wise you are. It means nothing when you’re dead and has no influence to the way you die
@@kestrel3509 One of Edward's close workers turned out to be a templar. When Edward argued with the worker about it, the worker left and hired mercenaries to kill edward and to get a diary that the templars were looking for. When the mercenaries came, edward got to kill one, but the other one killed him
I cried at this ending. I can’t believe she died… and then seeing his dead friends at the table.. god I wouldn’t be able to feel that pain he feels…. The best ending I’ve ever seen.
You know, despite everything Edward managed to truly accept everything that happened and move on. I don’t know about you but when I think about Edward leaving the Caribbean that’s the part that makes me break down because it truly shows a new chapter beginning in Edward’s life, one filled with love and family I think there’s something so beautiful about how contrasting these two chapters are that I don’t know I can put into words aside form calling it beautiful
In a world were ubisoft still made great games with compelling characters and great gameplay. (This scene alone made me fall in love with AC4 by the end) *tears up hearing this song*
I delayed the ending for a whole year my first play through, I wanted to get everything else done first. When I finally was done I continued to delay the ending not wanting it to end. I felt like Edward was my best friend (I didn't have many friends when I was thirteen.) like he was MY ancestor, the same way Ezio and Altair were Desmond's. I talked aloud to Edward as I controlled him in the game, telling him about school and my day and whatever came to mind it was weird to my family but I didn't care because I always felt that he would listen. (as weird as it sounds.) Eventually I decided to muster up the courage to play this ending and I wasn't prepared, I cried feeling like I was saying bye to a close friend who was going to a faraway land never coming back. Then I realized I got to sail on and let my best friend go. So I sailed Edward back to his family and said my Farewells. I'll never forget the countless nights I spent talking to my Assassin friend sailing those seas. Goodbye Edward, you were my best friend.
I remember that I was finishing the game. It was 5am, I spent all night playing and have to go to collage at 7, so I decided to cut it there, in the final cinematic, cuz I thought the game would continue, I didnt know it was THE final cutscene. I came back from collage ready for more AC and found myself looking at the credits with wet eyes and emptiness in my heart... now I got a tattoo in my arm, where the hidden blade go, with the skull and the ac symbol with the phrase that says "In a world without gold, we might been heroes". Farewell Edward Kenway...
Beginning of the game Me: I don't give a shit about the story I just want to kill people! Ending of the game me: I want to cry and die at the same time
This is what players want from Assassins Creed. Stories that immerse you in the game and feel as if the character you play as you know as a friend in your personal life. Not RPG gaming with Gods and crap parkour
@@joseangelcastillolopez143 True. Among the new generation of AC games, it's the one that felt the most similar to the old ones in terms of storytelling, character development and immersion.
When he looks over at that table as the parting glass plays…my god…the greatest ending in the history of video games. It’s this, ocarina of time, and red dead redemption where you come back as his son….these 3 stand above all. Great endings move you emotionally. Black flag is the very best of all the assassins creed games….and it had the very best ending..of all games
he always was but being rich and powerful corrupted him... of course after seeing his friends die in front of him (edward thatch/ blackbeard, james kidd, charles vane, etc..) he saw all the things he's done and i quote "For years I've been rushing around, taking whatever I fancied, not giving a tinker's curse for those I hurt. Yet here I am... with riches and reputation, feeling no wiser than when I left home. And when I turn around, and look at the course I've run... there's not a man or woman that I love left standing beside me". now... watch the ending and think of what he said before he helped the assassins and you will find yourself crying legit!
After Rouge the franchise fell hard. Now its "buy this exp boost to help you lvl up and oh , you assassinated a person from behind but you dont have a high enough lvl blade, so he lives". What happened to the good story telling and realistic kills. Out of all the newer Assassin creed games, none of the characters have a good memorable story throughout the game. I dont give a shit about them what so ever because most of the time, I am frustrated on how much exp will I get or what I need to do to get a better weapon, or do I have enough resources to craft or improve a weapon. All I can say about Assassin creed Black flag, Rouge and previous games is, this. Thank you for being there for me when I was a child and thank you for giving me many hours of enjoyment.
@Slayer i get why they went with the rpg route after fans would say "it's just the same game each year" I just can't forgive the greed with this microtransaction nonsense. What they should've done was taken a few years off to actually make the game true to the originals while making the formula not as repetitive. Something similar to origins but less rpg, the goods of origins and the goods of previous games. But it's not what they did and now we have this horrid rushed yet somehow still long and monotonous mess that's valhalla that tries and fails to appeal to classic and rpg fans.
@Slayer I'd also love an English Civil War or American Civil War game. We know lore wise at least a few english monarchs namely Henry vii and Elizabeth I were allied with the Brotherhood. I could definitely see someone like Oliver Cromwell being a templar and it would give a reason to have another irish protagonist. And subject 16, the guy abstergo experimented on before desmond had an ancestor who fought in the american civil war so they could easily do something with that.
This is by far the most heartfelt ending in any AC games... I especially felt the sadness in Edward when he sees his fallen comrades. Absent friends and empty glasses is painful. So painful that I wouldn’t even wish it on my worst enemy.
+Kenny Pecl Oh my god! What was that? :D :D :D Does it always happen in that sequence or is it just a bug/glitch in that one? Can´t remember if it has happened in my game. Hahaha! :D
“Edward… your constant Friendship has been my most treasured Find on these Seas. Well above Gold and Silver and Rum, I… I prize the Courage you have inspired in me this Year. Thank You, Sir! A fair good Morrow to you!”
@@johnvilyer4340 well..Actually Stede wouldn't have been better for never having known Edward my friend... Edward saved his life at the very beginning of the game where he was supposed to just die .. Remember?, anyways I'm talking out of the concept how beautiful, meaningful and accurate these words are describing the true friendship .... The true friendship that i believe its even stronger than love..❤ Rip Stede...Rip Edward
And I love that concept bro. I was super sad when I heard that Stede had died, and thought it was unfair. But I'm seeming to remember their first encounter different friend. He was "pulled over" by the royal navy on suspect of taking part in a battle with pirates. He didn't, and told the officer that, but they didn't want to listen and they were going to confiscate his ship. That would have been a jerk move, but he had a family to think about and plantation to run. When he met Kenway he was still the rouge pirate without thought to anything but plunder and drink. He got taken in by by Edwards promises of "Freedom" and "Equality" but all he got for it was a few years living in a rotting city and a noose at the end of it. idk, I just feel like if he'd gone back to trading for his plantation, his children would still have a father and his wife would still have a husband. I think we can all acknowledge and admire the growth that Kenway went through throughout the course of the game. He became less focused on himself and on what he could gain, and became a better man. Stede never got to see that growth, and my thinking is that he never would have died if he hadn't encountered that immature and vain version of Edward. Their friendship was real, and as he said, a treasure he didn't expect to find. I'm saying that the life he could have had was a better one :(. R.I.P Stede. R.I.P Edward.
This...this is what Ubisoft needs to do with their AC games... Create these lasting relationships with the other characters...or specifically, the historical figures who become your comrades. Something that brings us all to this point where we find ourselves crying for figures who historically were the most heartless cutthroat pirates the world had ever seen.
that feeling, exactly that one.. it always pains me to my core... and seeing Edward looking out over the ruins of his life and his friends and just boarding the Jackdaw and sailing away from it all back to Britain while telling his daughter about that she probably wont be seeing any pirates around because those days are past.. you could feel what he felt in that moment.. that all his hopes and dreams are gone and all those he loved with them.. so now all he can do is pick up the pieces and try to build something else.. Holy f*ck that one was intense.. i cried....
I have never felt a single "emotional" scene in all the AC afterwards. This is the last AC that I felt like I cared and had a connection with the characters.
Just played through this again for the second time, almost 9 years after my first. The ending hit me differently being older myself now. What a game and that song fits perfectly.
I'm a gamer because of these kind of moments, you can't walk up to someone on the street and start a conversation about games because most people don't understand why I play them, it's not because I don't have a life, it's because I choose to live many.
They coudnt have pulled it of beter than this. The part when Edward sees hes old friends... one of the few moments in my gaming career that i've acctually got touched by how they ended a game.
My wife laughed at me when I was describing the ending of the game to her and she could actually see tears in my eyes while talking about it, but yes, I'll admit it openly, I cried a little at the ending. My heart dropped when he sees the table full of his dead friends and the camera cuts to his face. I do believe this was one of the most emotionally charged game endings I've ever witnessed. You really feel like you know these characters by the end, especially if you spent as many hours playing as I did.
@Ahnaf Ahmed Can you explain what had happened to the sugar merchant that we meet at the first part of the story?? Is he dead like the others sitting in the chair?
I remember completing the game and this song came on then I got a call saying my grandad was really Ill and died shortly after. This song will always remind me of him it's a great song. Also the Ed sheeran and original by Tom Clancy
with that beautiful song playing, and then you see everyone sitting at the table: Bonnet, Vane, Read, Thatch, Rackham, Hornigold, it made me fully realise how far Edward has come and how much he has lost along the way.. A very powerful scene indeed.
I think what's the most amazing about this is how Ubisoft is still able to manage to deliver us an amazing game with a satisfying emotional ending with an annual franchise. I tip my hat off to you, Ubisoft.
***** Agreed with Brotherhood and Revelations, but ACIII was powerful in its own way. It's far more emotionally wringing if you actually make an effort to get into and empathize with Connor's character.
Hmm. Your perspective intrigues me. I may have to play through again. I will say that I did find the strategy of aligning the main character with the American Revolution to be kind of weird. An oppressed minority helping a group that oppressed other minorities didn't fit, to me.
It would only be amazing if it was one dev team putting out one game every year, but Ubisoft have multiple teams working on the AC franchise that get about 3 years to work on their games.
Finished this game today again. One of the saddest AC endings ever, in both a nice way and in a really depressing way, seeing his dead friends while the music plays always kills me, then seeing his daughter kicks you again. But what a lot of people forget is what happens to Edward after, how he dies keeping his family safe to a load of mercenaries, a final kick to the gut if you needed one.
mou aragon Edward's death isn't a scene, it's talked about in AC Forsaken a novel which is from Haytham's perspective of the events of AC3 as well as delving more into Haytham as a character, which you don't see much of besides in AC3 and bits of Rogue. Basically Birch, who you see at the start of AC3 talking to Haytham in the Theatre, fell in love with Jennifer, Edward's daughter who you see in this game in this scene. Jennifer found out he was a Templar, told Edward and then Edward and Birch got into an argument, Also Edward handed down his sword to Haytham, while training him to become an assassin. When Birch found out about the sword as well as Edward's journal, from a younger Haytham, wanting to obtain the journal for the Templar cause, he hired mercs to retrieve it. When they came Edward made sure that his family was safe, before returning to the house to insure that the journal wasn't stolen, unfortunately two of the mercenaries had managed to get in, find the journal and sword and killed Edward as soon as he came back. That's the most of it, some things I'm not 100% about, but that is how Edward Kenway died, a stark contrast to his early days, putting his family before anything else, even his own life. Also if you're wondering Birch gets killed by Haytham after Haytham finds out he was the one who ordered the mercs that killed Edward, by this time Haytham was already a fully fledged Templar though.
Just went back through to play this again. It broke me to my core with all the memories it brought back and I can truly say it was just as fun as when I played it the first time. It is easy 1 of the greatest games to ever come out in my eyes and I will cherish it forever. I just wish this version was on spotify
The ending is so bittersweet, this song with edward looking over and imagining seeing his dead friends there caught me right in the feels and i was holding back tears. So many great characters and one of the best stories in the AC series.
Enclave Trooper i was so mad when i saw the british kill thatch that I went on a killing spree in kingston the first time i played this and I still do to this day then I remorse
This ending cutscene was one of the only scenes to make me cry in a video game. I just balled while smiling at the conversation with his daughter. This game IMO, transcends the label of AC, into one of the best games I’ve honestly ever played. (And definitely to this day the best Pirate game. Also those real life sections still sucked ASSSSSSSSSS)
I beat it today second time first was in 2013 :D Amazing game the shanties, the main and other characters, the freedom. Last good assassin was syndicate imo. I beat every game except valhala and i don't expect to beat mirage.
What made this ending different from the other assassins creed endings was there was a sense of redemption for the protagonist. In addition, the message of the story of Black Flag is remarkable: do not pursue vanity, instead be content with what you have and who you are.
I agree, Edward started off a greedy, selfish bastard ultimately concerned only with his own gain but as the years go by and the people around him disappear one by one he realises his hunt for "the big score" has brought him nothing but misery. He's alone and has nothing to show for his years of struggle, so he does what he can to make amends and goes home to his daughter, the only family he has left. It's just a shame knowing what becomes of his son later on... :(
Edward James Kenway Yes you did Ed. Your daughter grew up feeling abandoned because you didn't train her in Assassin ways, then you forced her to marry a Templar. And then he murdered her and made Haytham a Templar. Ya dun GOUFED son.
after this ending, Assassins Creed Game Franchise is based on the book series of the same name, in one of those titles "Assassins Creed Black Flag" (book) it was mentioned that Edward after sailing for England, i.e Ending of Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag, begin his search for precursor sites and the artifacts left by those who came before i.e "Isus", in his search he found several precursor sites and wrote them on his journal named as "The Edward Kenway Journal". During his times in England, he purchased a house names as "Kenway's Mansion", which was also referred in Assassins Creed Syndicate, in his mansion there was an imposter working for a Templar named as "Reginald Birch". Birch somehow knew about this journal and tried taking it from Edward, at first he use a subtle approach i.e directly asking to Edward but got refused then later he chose the hard approach i.e assassinating the whole Kenway Family on which he succeed. Edward was betrayed by his worker and got killed in the incident alongwith his wife. His daughter Jennifer Scott was sold to a Turkish Merchant and Haytham was kept under the Observation of Birch himself. Haytham was completely unaware of all of this but he tried his best in searching of his sister Jennifer. When he became the Grandmaster of the Order he got the information on his sister and atlast he manage to save his sister who later told Haytham about the truth of their father. Haytham finally killed Birch in the Opera House, i.e Starting of Assassins Creed 3.
I hope this next one is at least half as good as Black flag, now THAT's what AC needs, tbh that's what the whole industry needs (not the glitches and bugs of course lol but the rest is 10/10)
Jovan Kovacevic yeah, the characters, story, and the music are all perfect in this game. I guess the game setting made the game superior to the new installments.
0:10 This entire scene was one of the most emotional in the game. Oh how I love open world games! Assassin’s Creed... Red Dead Redemption... God Of War... they are all incredible.
Tom Bailey you dont understand. it ends here for me. the story. from where desmond is kidnapped to the point he dies and here we have ac4. new games could be good and i might play them but storywise? this is all i want and need
I remember when I ve played this one. This is what I want from new AC games, stories that make you laugh and cry, to feel emotions. I grew up with those games, and from those games I learned a lot of history.
@@XtremeLineage No, the writer of this wonderful story is Darbey McDevitt who also wrote the story for ACR. Corey May is the writer for the AC 1, 2 and 3.
*Ubisoft* : any ideas on what kind of story we're gonna make for our main character this time? *Random employee* : Let's give him lots of memorable friends that will be there for him and he would hold dear in his heart... *AND THEN WILL HAVE THEM ALL KILLED OFF SO THE PLAYER FEELS ALONE AND LEFT BEHIND FOREVER!!! hahahahahaha!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!* ... I mean character development. *Ubisoft* : You're promoted!
The way Kenway looks at the images of all his deceased friends who were part of his privateer family...tells more than just plain emotions...each died a tragic death, dwindling on his own mortality and his helplessness to save them....he is all alone
But in the end... he is not. One chapter closes, where one starts. With a pang of regret Edward walks to the docks, where his new life and people to care for awaits.
i just realised it means bonnet dies. if that's not sad enough he was probably terrified. he wasn't too bright or too strong. he would have had nobody to help him other than his tiny crew. no friends to help him out nobody to save him. he would have known that he was alone. and that's assuming he dies on his ship if he gets captured it's even sadder
Just finished this game tonight. 8 years later and this game still holds up well. I miss these types of AC games. The new ones are fun but just aren't the same
I loved the other assassins creeds before Blag Flag but by far this is the best one I've played. Most of my friends dislike it because of too much sailing... Pathetic reason to dislike such a beautiful game. The sailing was my favorite part.
It has the best story line out of all of them. Edward has friends that he loses and knows what it feels like. It tells and shows us that we have to keep moving on no matter what the happened
Hakkarî Kurdistanî ah theyre just land lubbers, this was the best one, the way Edward actually kept his friendships alive and treated people like they were his equals(unless they were Spaniards or British Navy) the way he felt when thatch died, how his heart shattered when Marie died, or how his brain struggled when Ade left, this is what we need in games, we don't get enough of it
THIS Scene hit me almost as hard as the actual ending of the game. It hit me so hard that I stood up and had to take a drink before swimming back to the jackdaw.
But this is why AC4 was so great. We’re led to believe the ending will be a happy reunion, then we get hit with it that Caroline died, and Edward has truly lost everyone thanks to his path. It’s why Edward’s character development is so brilliant.
I just completed AC Mirage and man i cant believe Ubisoft has yet to top this masterpiece of a game. They definitely cooked here but yet they cant do another AC game thats heavy like this.

It really catches you off guard and in the feels when games that at first just seem like murder sims have one of the most investing and tragic plots in pop culture. AC4 and RDR2 were the pinnacles of my gaming career.
Same man die hard fan of rdr2 and Ac4
I like to think Arthur and Edward would have gotten along. Theyre not so different after all.
Good hearted men who have done awful things in the name of love and riches.
Both backstabbed, both lost everyone they love. And both like a good drink.
Facts, along with the Ezio games
You should try the Metal Gear Series. You are gonna love it.
to be fair ac 1 was quite a 'cold' dark edgy game, but yes, after that, all protagonists really have constant deeply emotional motivations.
This hits different cause imagine telling your girl you’re leaving for a little bit to make some money, and then you get caught up in some crazy otherworldly war. Ultimately just to find out your girl had your child, then died, and you weren’t there to care for her or your child.
Thats not why its so sad. The fact that Edward told her he would be back, then made the conscious decision to not return for years is that sad part.
Sure he got caught up in other things but its not as if he couldn't leave, his constant pursuit of reputation and riches is what led him to where he is. Alone, without a single person left standing beside him.

In a world without tailing missions, this might've been best of the franchise
In a world were ubisoft still made great games with compelling characters and great gameplay. (This scene alone made me fall in love with AC4 by the end) *tears up hearing this song*

I delayed the ending for a whole year my first play through, I wanted to get everything else done first. When I finally was done I continued to delay the ending not wanting it to end. I felt like Edward was my best friend (I didn't have many friends when I was thirteen.) like he was MY ancestor, the same way Ezio and Altair were Desmond's. I talked aloud to Edward as I controlled him in the game, telling him about school and my day and whatever came to mind it was weird to my family but I didn't care because I always felt that he would listen. (as weird as it sounds.) Eventually I decided to muster up the courage to play this ending and I wasn't prepared, I cried feeling like I was saying bye to a close friend who was going to a faraway land never coming back. Then I realized I got to sail on and let my best friend go. So I sailed Edward back to his family and said my Farewells. I'll never forget the countless nights I spent talking to my Assassin friend sailing those seas.
Goodbye Edward, you were my best friend.
🖤i gotcha brothar

Understandable? Absolutely.
My reaction to the ending? Similar.

I remember that I was finishing the game. It was 5am, I spent all night playing and have to go to collage at 7, so I decided to cut it there, in the final cinematic, cuz I thought the game would continue, I didnt know it was THE final cutscene. I came back from collage ready for more AC and found myself looking at the credits with wet eyes and emptiness in my heart... now I got a tattoo in my arm, where the hidden blade go, with the skull and the ac symbol with the phrase that says "In a world without gold, we might been heroes".
Farewell Edward Kenway...

This is what players want from Assassins Creed. Stories that immerse you in the game and feel as if the character you play as you know as a friend in your personal life. Not RPG gaming with Gods and crap parkour

Aye aye
Its good to see Edward was a good man after all :')
he always was but being rich and powerful corrupted him... of course after seeing his friends die in front of him (edward thatch/ blackbeard, james kidd, charles vane, etc..) he saw all the things he's done and i quote "For years I've been rushing around, taking whatever I fancied, not giving a tinker's curse for those I hurt. Yet here I am... with riches and reputation, feeling no wiser than when I left home. And when I turn around, and look at the course I've run... there's not a man or woman that I love left standing beside me". now... watch the ending and think of what he said before he helped the assassins and you will find yourself crying legit!
'In a world without gold we might've been heroes' - Blackbeard
Darthzilla 1987 you make me cry ;-;
i did like him more when he was a pirate
Darthzilla 1987 this is the reason I always read replies in the comments section thank you for posting that
All these years later this ending still makes me cry
After Rouge the franchise fell hard. Now its "buy this exp boost to help you lvl up and oh , you assassinated a person from behind but you dont have a high enough lvl blade, so he lives". What happened to the good story telling and realistic kills. Out of all the newer Assassin creed games, none of the characters have a good memorable story throughout the game. I dont give a shit about them what so ever because most of the time, I am frustrated on how much exp will I get or what I need to do to get a better weapon, or do I have enough resources to craft or improve a weapon. All I can say about Assassin creed Black flag, Rouge and previous games is, this. Thank you for being there for me when I was a child and thank you for giving me many hours of enjoyment.
Very well said
@@BrianaMoody1 hey...
@Slayer i get why they went with the rpg route after fans would say "it's just the same game each year" I just can't forgive the greed with this microtransaction nonsense. What they should've done was taken a few years off to actually make the game true to the originals while making the formula not as repetitive. Something similar to origins but less rpg, the goods of origins and the goods of previous games. But it's not what they did and now we have this horrid rushed yet somehow still long and monotonous mess that's valhalla that tries and fails to appeal to classic and rpg fans.
@Slayer I'd also love an English Civil War or American Civil War game. We know lore wise at least a few english monarchs namely Henry vii and Elizabeth I were allied with the Brotherhood. I could definitely see someone like Oliver Cromwell being a templar and it would give a reason to have another irish protagonist. And subject 16, the guy abstergo experimented on before desmond had an ancestor who fought in the american civil war so they could easily do something with that.
That rpg thing when started with ac orgins is just like a nightmare i hate it
Who the fuck would dislike this? The best game ending of all time..!

“Edward… your constant Friendship has been my most treasured Find on these Seas. Well above Gold and Silver and Rum, I… I prize the Courage you have inspired in me this Year. Thank You, Sir! A fair good Morrow to you!”
The only one who valued the friends he made along the way. Good morrow to you sir!
He got hung as a pirate soon after saying those words. Edward was a poor friend and Stede Bonnet would have been better for never having known him.
@@johnvilyer4340 well..Actually Stede wouldn't have been better for never having known Edward my friend...
Edward saved his life at the very beginning of the game where he was supposed to just die .. Remember?, anyways I'm talking out of the concept how beautiful, meaningful and accurate these words are describing the true friendship .... The true friendship that i believe its even stronger than love..❤
Rip Stede...Rip Edward
@@nelzelpher2088 Good morrow to you sir... AC 4 is and will always be my favourite... What a sad game yet a masterpiece 🔥
And I love that concept bro. I was super sad when I heard that Stede had died, and thought it was unfair. But I'm seeming to remember their first encounter different friend. He was "pulled over" by the royal navy on suspect of taking part in a battle with pirates. He didn't, and told the officer that, but they didn't want to listen and they were going to confiscate his ship. That would have been a jerk move, but he had a family to think about and plantation to run. When he met Kenway he was still the rouge pirate without thought to anything but plunder and drink. He got taken in by by Edwards promises of "Freedom" and "Equality" but all he got for it was a few years living in a rotting city and a noose at the end of it. idk, I just feel like if he'd gone back to trading for his plantation, his children would still have a father and his wife would still have a husband. I think we can all acknowledge and admire the growth that Kenway went through throughout the course of the game. He became less focused on himself and on what he could gain, and became a better man. Stede never got to see that growth, and my thinking is that he never would have died if he hadn't encountered that immature and vain version of Edward. Their friendship was real, and as he said, a treasure he didn't expect to find. I'm saying that the life he could have had was a better one :(. R.I.P Stede. R.I.P Edward.
This...this is what Ubisoft needs to do with their AC games...
Create these lasting relationships with the other characters...or specifically, the historical figures who become your comrades.
Something that brings us all to this point where we find ourselves crying for figures who historically were the most heartless cutthroat pirates the world had ever seen.
+1BrknHrtdRomeo Well, I have respect for black beard, like before this game, I had fucking respect I thought he was a bad ass and I still do
+1BrknHrtdRomeo ik
He actually was pretty loved by the people, not all that ruthless.
^ Yeah, there's no evidence that Blackbeard ever killed anyone on the ships he plundered.
"the line between good and evil lies in each man's heart, and noone would cut out their own heart"

and seeing Edward looking out over the ruins of his life and his friends and just boarding the Jackdaw and sailing away from it all back to Britain while telling his daughter about that she probably wont be seeing any pirates around because those days are past.. you could feel what he felt in that moment.. that all his hopes and dreams are gone and all those he loved with them.. so now all he can do is pick up the pieces and try to build something else..

They coudnt have pulled it of beter than this.
The part when Edward sees hes old friends... one of the few moments in my gaming career that i've acctually got touched by how they ended a game.
My wife laughed at me when I was describing the ending of the game to her and she could actually see tears in my eyes while talking about it, but yes, I'll admit it openly, I cried a little at the ending. My heart dropped when he sees the table full of his dead friends and the camera cuts to his face. I do believe this was one of the most emotionally charged game endings I've ever witnessed. You really feel like you know these characters by the end, especially if you spent as many hours playing as I did.
Jack Cordial I agree man entirely...
Jack Cordial I cry at the end 2
I didnt cry but i felt really sad that the game i was done and cus all the things edward has gone through

Cool to see Hornigold and Vayne at the table. Even though they were traitors and tried to kill him, he still sees them as friends.

This ending still makes me emotional no matter how many times I watch it.
with that beautiful song playing, and then you see everyone sitting at the table: Bonnet, Vane, Read, Thatch, Rackham, Hornigold, it made me fully realise how far Edward has come and how much he has lost along the way.. A very powerful scene indeed.
he has Lost how his wife died :(
Dunai yeah he found out in that letter
***** even though he was with the pirates, he never truly became one of them.
bonnet's story is real history, the gentlemen pirate. a man who seeked a life of piracy but was never truly accepted
FrozenAceGaming that's why it's a shame he got hanged
I think what's the most amazing about this is how Ubisoft is still able to manage to deliver us an amazing game with a satisfying emotional ending with an annual franchise. I tip my hat off to you, Ubisoft.
***** Agreed with Brotherhood and Revelations, but ACIII was powerful in its own way. It's far more emotionally wringing if you actually make an effort to get into and empathize with Connor's character.
***** I hope it means Ubisoft is getting better at this and that Unity will be even more epic.
***** Man, agreed. I have trouble understanding what people have against Connor, I think his story is awesome.
Hmm. Your perspective intrigues me. I may have to play through again.
I will say that I did find the strategy of aligning the main character with the American Revolution to be kind of weird. An oppressed minority helping a group that oppressed other minorities didn't fit, to me.
It would only be amazing if it was one dev team putting out one game every year, but Ubisoft have multiple teams working on the AC franchise that get about 3 years to work on their games.
Coming back to this brings back good memories. When times were simpler.😔
Today is Edward's Birthday, perhaps it's time to play the game once more?
Finished this game today again. One of the saddest AC endings ever, in both a nice way and in a really depressing way, seeing his dead friends while the music plays always kills me, then seeing his daughter kicks you again. But what a lot of people forget is what happens to Edward after, how he dies keeping his family safe to a load of mercenaries, a final kick to the gut if you needed one.
Literally was already sad, then kinda became happy cause saw him with his children and then another kick to the guts. Poor edward :(
don't remeber that scene
mou aragon Edward's death isn't a scene, it's talked about in AC Forsaken a novel which is from Haytham's perspective of the events of AC3 as well as delving more into Haytham as a character, which you don't see much of besides in AC3 and bits of Rogue. Basically Birch, who you see at the start of AC3 talking to Haytham in the Theatre, fell in love with Jennifer, Edward's daughter who you see in this game in this scene. Jennifer found out he was a Templar, told Edward and then Edward and Birch got into an argument, Also Edward handed down his sword to Haytham, while training him to become an assassin. When Birch found out about the sword as well as Edward's journal, from a younger Haytham, wanting to obtain the journal for the Templar cause, he hired mercs to retrieve it. When they came Edward made sure that his family was safe, before returning to the house to insure that the journal wasn't stolen, unfortunately two of the mercenaries had managed to get in, find the journal and sword and killed Edward as soon as he came back.
That's the most of it, some things I'm not 100% about, but that is how Edward Kenway died, a stark contrast to his early days, putting his family before anything else, even his own life. Also if you're wondering Birch gets killed by Haytham after Haytham finds out he was the one who ordered the mercs that killed Edward, by this time Haytham was already a fully fledged Templar though.
I cried at the end of it
I like to think he died a good man. Really that's all any of us can hope for when our own ending comes.
I wanna be buried with this music at my funural
+jayden brooks the song "parting glass" actually is a popular funeral song...

Just went back through to play this again. It broke me to my core with all the memories it brought back and I can truly say it was just as fun as when I played it the first time. It is easy 1 of the greatest games to ever come out in my eyes and I will cherish it forever. I just wish this version was on spotify
The ending is so bittersweet, this song with edward looking over and imagining seeing his dead friends there caught me right in the feels and i was holding back tears. So many great characters and one of the best stories in the AC series.

Same man, I’ve known that I want this for my funeral since I was 14, when the game came out
@jasminedragon3315 lol too real my dude
I think was my first time crying for a videogame
What made this ending different from the other assassins creed endings was there was a sense of redemption for the protagonist. In addition, the message of the story of Black Flag is remarkable: do not pursue vanity, instead be content with what you have and who you are.
Lol i had one job and I fucked it up.
That made my day XD
I agree, Edward started off a greedy, selfish bastard ultimately concerned only with his own gain but as the years go by and the people around him disappear one by one he realises his hunt for "the big score" has brought him nothing but misery. He's alone and has nothing to show for his years of struggle, so he does what he can to make amends and goes home to his daughter, the only family he has left. It's just a shame knowing what becomes of his son later on... :(
Edward James Kenway
Yes you did Ed. Your daughter grew up feeling abandoned because you didn't train her in Assassin ways, then you forced her to marry a Templar.
And then he murdered her and made Haytham a Templar.
Ya dun GOUFED son.

I didn't end the game, the game ended me.
I agree lad, I agree
Whoa, mate.

this always makes me cry
after this ending, Assassins Creed Game Franchise is based on the book series of the same name, in one of those titles "Assassins Creed Black Flag" (book) it was mentioned that Edward after sailing for England, i.e Ending of Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag, begin his search for precursor sites and the artifacts left by those who came before i.e "Isus", in his search he found several precursor sites and wrote them on his journal named as "The Edward Kenway Journal". During his times in England, he purchased a house names as "Kenway's Mansion", which was also referred in Assassins Creed Syndicate, in his mansion there was an imposter working for a Templar named as "Reginald Birch". Birch somehow knew about this journal and tried taking it from Edward, at first he use a subtle approach i.e directly asking to Edward but got refused then later he chose the hard approach i.e assassinating the whole Kenway Family on which he succeed. Edward was betrayed by his worker and got killed in the incident alongwith his wife. His daughter Jennifer Scott was sold to a Turkish Merchant and Haytham was kept under the Observation of Birch himself. Haytham was completely unaware of all of this but he tried his best in searching of his sister Jennifer. When he became the Grandmaster of the Order he got the information on his sister and atlast he manage to save his sister who later told Haytham about the truth of their father. Haytham finally killed Birch in the Opera House, i.e Starting of Assassins Creed 3.

Not gonna lie, when I finished the game I played it a bit after and it just felt empty without the other characters. It filled me with sadness.
The way Kenway looks at the images of all his deceased friends who were part of his privateer family...tells more than just plain emotions...each died a tragic death, dwindling on his own mortality and his helplessness to save them....he is all alone
But in the end... he is not. One chapter closes, where one starts. With a pang of regret Edward walks to the docks, where his new life and people to care for awaits.
Like me
@@onmysecondjourney5510 aren’t we all bruva
@@mhjmstultiens nope, Edward Kenway died early in 1735 with a tragic death.
@@cal6922 also his mother disowned him.
damn it the fking table of his friends scene still got me again even after 7 yrs fk
cant get over this master piece of a game
i just realised it means bonnet dies. if that's not sad enough he was probably terrified. he wasn't too bright or too strong. he would have had nobody to help him other than his tiny crew. no friends to help him out nobody to save him. he would have known that he was alone. and that's assuming he dies on his ship if he gets captured it's even sadder
and even 10 yearsa later, I still cry
I finished it today. Ending still gives me goosebumps.
Really proud that black flag is my first ever AC game
It was my first as well
Same.
@@rustkarl yeah it's my favourite up there with revelations
Same. Now I’m off to Greece
Same
Am I the only one who gets emotional by hearing this song.
its so beautiful....
edward rest in peace
no your not alone
I got emotional when I heard it the first time
he joined his fallen comrades
Actually I don't think many people know what his fate is/believe it.
Rex Hound According to the Assassin wiki, Kenway was murdered in 1735 by parties unknown.
This song was so emotionally powerful I had to mute my tv to stop myself from becoming a ball of tears on the floor.
Just finished this game tonight. 8 years later and this game still holds up well. I miss these types of AC games. The new ones are fun but just aren't the same
I loved the other assassins creeds before Blag Flag but by far this is the best one I've played. Most of my friends dislike it because of too much sailing... Pathetic reason to dislike such a beautiful game. The sailing was my favorite part.
Many think it's a pirate simulator and not a true Assassin's Creed game, but for me this is simply the best game ever.
It has the best story line out of all of them. Edward has friends that he loses and knows what it feels like. It tells and shows us that we have to keep moving on no matter what the happened
Hakkarî Kurdistanî ah theyre just land lubbers, this was the best one, the way Edward actually kept his friendships alive and treated people like they were his equals(unless they were Spaniards or British Navy) the way he felt when thatch died, how his heart shattered when Marie died, or how his brain struggled when Ade left, this is what we need in games, we don't get enough of it
Same for me
Hakkarî Kurdistanî I used to hate it because of the sailing, but now I've completed it and I'm playing rogue now.
"In a world without gold, we might have been heroes!"
RIP Thatch

It’s easy to be a saint in paradise.
THIS Scene hit me almost as hard as the actual ending of the game. It hit me so hard that I stood up and had to take a drink before swimming back to the jackdaw.
If you didn’t tear up at this part you’re not human
I played this Game and really could feel emotions Like you guys did. I mean yeah it was sad but idk
I just finished the game the game 20 minutes ago. It's such a masterpiece!
I was hoping Edward would finally meet Caroline at the end. So sad he never got to see her again :(
She died
@@romanthomas4320 I'm sure he knows that.
mrcoldman1515 wait how??
@@keiranaaron1537 sicknesses
But this is why AC4 was so great. We’re led to believe the ending will be a happy reunion, then we get hit with it that Caroline died, and Edward has truly lost everyone thanks to his path. It’s why Edward’s character development is so brilliant.
Everyone’s crying and experiencing the feels and I’m like is nobody gonna talk about the flying chair at 0:28
BRUH
SLAPNTZ MCCOY Yooooooo
It took me second to find that even after you mentioned it.
the chair can't handle the feels
ROFL. It's just flying away in the background.
Thank you, Edward, and farewell.
I just completed AC Mirage and man i cant believe Ubisoft has yet to top this masterpiece of a game. They definitely cooked here but yet they cant do another AC game thats heavy like this.
