FFXIV is just the greatest game to ever exist

the gay little wave is the cherry on top here it’s so unbelievably good

HE’S SO GREAT

MANKINDS FIRST HERO AND HIS FINAL HOPE

DID YOU REMEMBER THE SNAP LIKE I TOLD YOU TO

Yes and I remember you telling me to remember it

Hell yeah remember me remember that i once told you or something said emet belch

LIKE BROKEN ANGELS WINGLESS CAST FROM HEAVEN'S GATES WE ONLY FLY WHEN FALLING FALLING FAR FROM GRACE OUR LIVES A MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE CAST TO SEA QUICK TO THEIR ENDS OUR CANDLES BURN UNTIL WE'RE FREE

I will never forget how awesome this was to experience for the first time.

It really is life changing

Fighting John Final Fantasy with this incredible music and then this scene happen and you're speechless and then he does a LB4 and the tanks must LB3 to survive just:

Crazy Fact: Soken wrote this song while battling cancer so this song has even more emotional meaning

5.3 truly is one of the best patches this game has ever had, I remember seeing that wave on patch day and freaking out because he had been gone for a year+ atp

IN MONOCHROME MELODIESSSSSS OUR TEARS ARE PAINTED IN REEEEEED

If I remember right, 5.3 was the first patch to release after the beginning of COVID, so like EVERYONE was inside playing FF and we got one of the best patches ever

God I wish I could do this for the first time again

I remember the very first time i got to this part and screamed when i realized - now every time i get this dungeon i just fuckin CRY

Never had a boss fight make me cry in the middle of a fight before, it's so fucking good

I love his gay little wave

OH MY GOD THIS SCENE. I remember that fucking WAVE. As SOON as he did that, I freaked out and was like “NO FUCKING WAY, HIM?!?!”

I will never be able to properly explain how much I love him

i was so excited over him saving us that I died twice shortly after lmao literally got to this last night myself

Peak. From the snap to the quote it's just such peak!!

I remember learning that this guy is entirely in control of his life force, such that he could’ve brought himself back at anytime, he’s just a drama queen.

Story skipper will never understand the weight of that scene

fun fact, the jobs that show up are all the jobs in ff4 dark knight, bard, summoner, etc

the little hand twirl bro we told you bro

A shame the game hasn't reached this level of peak high again. Ending of echoes of Vana'diel came close. But Seat of Sacrifice and all of patch 5.3 is The peak of this game, for good reason

This part. This battle...❤️

Greatest patch to ever drop, the lead up the journey the climax the call outs the music, epic fight with the OG avatar of the Warrior of Light, the boss breaking the limit break gauge mid fight to nuke you. Your limit gauge building faster to survive! Ughhh Absolute Cinema!

Stop this is the scene I cried my eyes out and killed everyone aaaaaaaaAAAAA

interesting fact, this theme song was composed by soken while he was in hospital fighting cancer, some say it was so fire that it burnt away the cancer

the unmatched experience of finishing shb and thinking there's no way they can possibly hit you harder than that... and then getting to 5.3 🙂‍↕️ magnificent

I have no idea whats going on here but I do love the non verbal "jump his ass" the hooded guy gives.

the mandatory tank lb was so scary.

i love this sassy diva so much

TRUTH BAHAMUT MEGAFLARE!!!!!! GENUINELY THE BEST!!!!! The entire Shadowbringers expansion is fantastic and 5.3 genuinely changed me man, this entire game is amazing 🥹 I LOVE FINAL FANTASY 14!!!!!

I have a version of this where I accidentally gained free-cam, so you can see the cutscene from a different angle, its weird and cool

Or like that one cosplayer, mankind's 6th hero, and his 7th hope.
