@@coffeeavenger This seems like it should be the basis of a video of its own: just something that combs through the lore and includes everything currently kicking around in the WoL's soul and just how damn crowded it is in there.

Bene: Releases some of the greatest FFXIV shitpost animations ever made Also Bene: Releases some of the most heartfelt and touching FFXIV animations ever made You truly are a master of your craft.
At the End of All Things you can always rely on Arbert, Fray, The Great Serpent of Ronka wearing a Silly Hat, and Eight Namazu carrying your Mikoshi to always have your back.
This is so fitting, too. Ardbert’s not just the WoL’s friend, he’s also a part of himself. They’re both part of Azem. Absolutely wonderful, and emotionally great. Also, the animation’s a 10/10, wish we could get even more of it all. Also, the “If you need a push, I’ll be right there behind you.” is an excellent touch!
They bring this up in Endwalker and in Dawntrail even. It is why the WoL's aether is so denser than everyone else's, they have gone through a WILLING rejoining.
Every time I think I'm "done" having such intense emotions for Endwalker, I'm reminded there's no such thing as being done. I'll be raw forever. Tales of loooooss and fiiiiire and faaaaaith!
poor Meteor getting hit by repeated gut-punches from Ardbert's song... that is pretty much *exactly* how I felt when I heard it the first time, you got it spot on. and then seeing Fray with the light stick made me crack up so hard XD
I'm just imagining the looks on all the ethereal, ghostly scions watching on as WoL has a mental breakdown and has his arm around an invisible person offering them a drink....
Frey showing up was peak. It is all of our WoL bits together in that moment! Shame that they cannot canonize a 'class' for the WoL, but Frey added on that moment would've been genuine perfect for the walk.
Ngl, I honestly prefer the idea that the voice was from G’raha’s perspective. With the way that the entire environment of Ultima Thule is shaped by the Scions, and how the music is part of the environment, and how when G’raha gives himself over to Dynamis the vocals are added to the song. *All that said,* damn it your animation is still so freaking good, giving you the thumbs up you deserve.
All jokes aside, EndWalker (and by extentsion that song) was such a great ending to the story arch. I really dont know if we will get anything to that level by the end of the next arch :(

Just when I thought we'd recover from "the walk", this mans goes and rips off the feel stitches. Wuk Lamat needs to get the BeneG meme treatment now! 😈
the ending tugged HARD on my heart strings, but the sequences of meteor slowly breaking down into tears are so human. like the lil double takes as he tries to process his feelings, having to grit his teeth and just shut his eyes to try not to completely melt. and also the bit where he stumbles around just to hit the floor, i stg i did that too, and i looked just as funny
Before the lore drop I was sure that it was G'raha Tia singing Close in the Distance, but Ardbert makes just as much sense. And now youtubers like BeneG are going to play with my heartstrings once again... We've been on great journeys together old buddy
Inspired by the info revealed from the primals concert a few months ago. More like Ardbert's old lore now....
...I need an explanation. What lore?
@@RetroNutcase It was revealed the song sung in ultima thule was from adbert to wol.
HOW DARE YOU PLAY THIS SONG AND NOT WARN US? YOU BASTARD.
Well, now I'm crying.
@@lucasgalen3101 WHAT that's insane never knew!
@@benedictgg It’s a recent reveal, from the Primals concert in September.
Seeing Frey there. I realize this is all just an episode of "Me, Myself and I"
That made me literally LOL….at my kid’s soccer game….right as a player got hurt. Father of the year award, right here 🤣
Triple Tank Threat inbound
The normal gunbreaker confused seeing the schizo paladin drinkin with his imaginary warrior friend and his drk edgy personality.
I'm not gonna lie, I lost it when Fray showed up. When no one gots me, Frey gots me
@@lukkethelukke3514 Are we sure that Myste didn't take GNB?
Man the fact that Ardbert was a better singer than our WoL (from previous skit) is just funnier.
Love you Ardbert ❤ miss you friend.
All of Azem's vocal and musical talents went to Ardbert apparently, just waiting for an opportunity to shine.
Wait, which one?
Edit:, oh, the lahee one?
@@pyroqwerty yup, that vid. Our WoL has some cursed pipes...
I figured it was more just WoL being a troll when he sang LaHee.
Says you! My WoL is a fabulous bard!
XD
Bene you can’t keep DOING THIS MAN
He can and he will. 😂
He can't keep getting away with this!
NO KEEP DOING THIS
I beg to differ, and he should.
That little shake of the bottle the Wol does at Ardbert when I can clearly tell he's going "Dude I'm singing?!" is so funny!
Fray being there was a nice touch. Just needed Myste to be there to have all the voices in our head present
what a Mysted opportunity am I right? lolll
Throw in Midgardsormr too. cmiiw he's still sleeping within WoL
Don't forget our voidsent buddy

Truly a Warrior of both Light and Darkness.

When the WoL had nobody else to lean on, Ardbert was there. Good guy Ardbert, *OUR* WoL.
I was expecting to see the scions at the end just watching him talk to himself.
@@theruinerofchats ...h-how? They all dust atm...
I know his story was concluded but I kinda hope we see him some more.
And when Ardbert wasn't there, Zenos was there.
@@RicardoSantos-oz3ujZenos knife in hand screaming "Fight me!" But hey he was there!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!!
Anyway, Ardbert is the best boy.
the ardbert fucker is here.

Wouldn't we all be fucked by Ardbert? He's been inside all of us after all@@benedictgg
@@benedictgg @TiffanyLockheart Anywhere an Ardbert appears, his dutiful stalker follows close behind.
@@PaladinArndt You could phrase that a lot better and less weird ngl lmao haha
Ardbert the Warrior, Fray the Dark Knight, and Meteor the Paladin.
Are we SURE Myste hasn't taken up a gunblade yet?
Thancred, in the distance: "IT'S MY TURN!"
@@Zeppelee You hear a disembodied voice coming from all around you, in the air of Ultima Thule: "This is Thancred."
😭 Thank you for this. In middle of crying, I laughed seeing Fray with the lightsticks.
And so unenthusiastic about it, too!
@@Calydor "I'll do it, but I am not happy about it."
Me: *expects a loporrit behind him with a boombox*
BeneG: how bout some feels instead?
Spent the entire video waiting for the other shoe to drop and the closest we got was Frey with a glow stick.
This is so fitting, too.
Ardbert’s not just the WoL’s friend, he’s also a part of himself. They’re both part of Azem.
Absolutely wonderful, and emotionally great. Also, the animation’s a 10/10, wish we could get even more of it all.

Emotional damage
The inclusion of Frey is just 10/10 YOU NEVER MISS.
Oh you did not just make me cry again at the "if you need a push" line
"Strong art thou, mortal."
How did you mess up a 4 word quote? 😭
My absolute favorite line from that long walk.
@@CianaCorto Because last time I heard it was 2 years ago, and before that another year.
that one cracks me up in its simplicity
At least Ardbert can sing...unlike the Warrior of Light's La Hee disaster in Raz-At-Han lmao
Remind me of this incident?
@@dannywolfpero LA HEE
It was a deliberate Shitpost Singing.
LA HEEE
This is now the canon scene, you can't convince me otherwise
"Do not despair. You are not without allies."
Save your tears for the morrow. You may be sure we will have ample cause to shed them, be they for joy or despair.
Esteem with glow sticks sent my sides into orbit ROFL
So very 'enthusiastic' about it too.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that Jason’s voice is a good fit for WoL and/or Ardbert.
Man you can just feel the power and emotions come from this song, how much pain and trials had to be overcome, and then being able to press on.
Oh! Are we covering lore now?
Implying that BeneG’s previous videos weren’t perfectly lore accurate.
@@InquisitorThomas including emet-selch gun mishap
Every time I think I'm "done" having such intense emotions for Endwalker, I'm reminded there's no such thing as being done. I'll be raw forever.

Ardbert, what a G
Damn it, this made me laugh and cry. Our overly dramatic WOL and Frey just lightly waving that glow stick, man. Another amazing video in the books.
Not even hallowed ground can protect you from this type of damage
“Let’s finish this.”
I'm just imagining the looks on all the ethereal, ghostly scions watching on as WoL has a mental breakdown and has his arm around an invisible person offering them a drink....
Just how I remember it.
Came for a laugh. Stayed for the feels
Should have had Myste doing the jump lights along with Fray, but still, absolutely amazing as always xD
WHY AM I EITHER LAUGHING OR CRYING WHEN I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS?? every time is an emotional rollercoaster...he can't keep getting away with this! 😭
Frey showing up was peak. It is all of our WoL bits together in that moment! Shame that they cannot canonize a 'class' for the WoL, but Frey added on that moment would've been genuine perfect for the walk.
Meteor just went through the 5 stages of grief within 2:31 minutes. Same bro, same.
5 more minutes
I see a BeneG video, I click Like before it even plays, cause I just know.
Damn, came here expecting peak silliness and found peak feels instead - well played, BeneG, well played!
I came here for a fun time, but only got depressed...
Great work as always BeneG ^^
"If you need a push ill be right there behind you."
Bro, im dead.
This was golden, thank you for posting. The flask wiggle and frey was peak.
idk whether to cry or laugh
Why not both?
We here in FFXiV would like to say: "Both"
>Mariachi band plays
Yes
Do both, duh! 'Cause I sure did.
It's been years at this point and damn song can still make me cry.
Bruh, it's only been 2 😅😅
Make it sound like over 11 years... Yet 🙃
It's been almost 3 years. Time flies
Oddly wholesome ngl
Take a sip 😂 1:55
Ardbert was there for uuuus like no one was xD also he took all the singing talent between the two
Ah yes, the time when Yoshi P and Ishikawa-sensei mutilated my tear ducts. Fun times!
Great video bud! Can't wait to share it with my peeps!

Wasn't expecting Fray but that was a nice one! I love it!
I was listening to Kendrick, but you know I gotta drop it for BeneG
WoL: Frey? Bro, when d'you get here?!
Fray: When your depression peaked.
Ardbert: Oh, same bro.
Didn't need to cry to this again but I have no choice now, damn you Bene
All jokes aside, EndWalker (and by extentsion that song) was such a great ending to the story arch. I really dont know if we will get anything to that level by the end of the next arch :(

Imagine if when Arbdert pulled out the Mic, all he asked was “Do you know La Hee?””
I'm glad you add Flay here as well/
I laughed through tears seeing Fray. 😂😢
We need our biggest hater and supporter at our time of need.
One day I'll make a Dark Knight and see why everyone likes Flay..I just dislike tanking lol
@@lchigoKurosakilevel it through FL then you can quest at your leisure. No taking involved
@@lchigoKurosaki
You can just use WT to level it, or PVP.
Still tanking isn't AS stressful in FF14 as it can be in other MMOs, and people can be pretty forgiving.
Its the final fantasy commercial that came AFTER the video ended that made go "i need to touch some grass "
Still one of the Top 3 Moments in the entire game. 😭😭
Fray should have been joined by Myste, but hey. good to see our esteem follows us like our good friend Ardbert
Mood of the video : laught, cry, laugh, and cry finally
That shot of them sitting on the ground back to back, it's beautiful.
HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME CRY USING ARDBERT!!!!
I don't think endwalker was the best expansion, but I do think Ultima Thule can't be topped as a zone.
The "suicide but not really" conga line was pretty dumb but the visuals, themes, and soundtrack to UT are fantastic
I can never know if it's gonna be emotional or funny. Sometimes both. Gonna cry either way.
This song still gets me every damn time...
I WANTED A SHITPOST, WHY DO YOU MAKE ME FEEL THINGS
Me expecting something silly to come in to EMOTIONAL DEVASTATION. Thanks
Came for the laughs. Ended up actually feeling things. Amazing.
Even after years of hearing it it still breaks me
Looking together silently into the distance before the end was a nice touch. Well done.
Just when I thought we'd recover from "the walk", this mans goes and rips off the feel stitches. Wuk Lamat needs to get the BeneG meme treatment now! 😈
On this episode of EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
How dare you remind me of the time I cried like a little bitch thanks to this game.
Started the video, found it funny, then I saw Meteor cry and I cried, then I saw him struggle and I broke down. We're never free from this song.
That actually made me a little bit emotional. What a ride it was, and what a beautiful touching way to visualise that songs place in the moment. 👏🥰
Fray with the glow stick got me i'm not going to lie. 10/10 would be emotionally attacked again.
MOOOOOOOOOOOM, BENE'S DOING WEIRD THINGS AGAAAAAAAAIN!
The unholy cackle that I let out when Ardbert picked up the mic and WoL's reaction to it was the hardest I've laughed in a while 🤣
Wasn't planning to be crying into my cup noodle at lunch, but here we are. Absolutely awesome BeneG!
I came for the "funny ha-has" now I have the "crying hahahahah baaehewaklfwlaf"
Made me laugh and tear up all at once, 11/10. GG
AHHHH THE ENDING. 😭
a little Sad Myste didnt' show beside Fray
the ending tugged HARD on my heart strings, but the sequences of meteor slowly breaking down into tears are so human. like the lil double takes as he tries to process his feelings, having to grit his teeth and just shut his eyes to try not to completely melt.
and also the bit where he stumbles around just to hit the floor, i stg i did that too, and i looked just as funny
Meteor just stumbling around overcome with such emotion is hilarious but also relatable bc. yeah. same
Your Animation quality has really improved!
Amazing video!
Fray was genius
I didn't need this level of emotional damage today. Didn't expect such a wholesome ending. 10/10 Would cry again to this song.
Thank you for remastering this iconic scene from the MSQ..
Sobbing in the club to this. Ardbert you beautiful soul, you deserve the world.
Stuck between laughing and crying through this whole video, thank you.
"If you need a push, I'll be right there behind you."
That line alone breaks me everytime
Before the lore drop I was sure that it was G'raha Tia singing Close in the Distance, but Ardbert makes just as much sense. And now youtubers like BeneG are going to play with my heartstrings once again...
We've been on great journeys together old buddy
every time there is a new bene g, it makes me binge all his vids again xD
nat 20 on the psychic damage
Started the video off by chuckling a little bit. Was sobbing by the end 😭
Damn i thought you were boutta do this song dirty, but you did it god damn justice
Fucking Fray with passively waving the little neon thing... 😂
