  1. Lord Fortemps breaking down at the end there just… gets me. There's something about a knight being unable to continue the upright charade and breaking down, because everyone in the room knows and is feeling the same weight. It always reminds me of King Theoden from the Lord of the Rings movies. "No parent should have to bury their child." Heavensward is REALLY where FF14 introduces the feels, and I'm thrilled to say that this isn't the last of the game's magnificent character-driven plot moments. The Warrior of Light, the Scions, and all the main characters are all badasses, but they aren't immune to loss, and I think that's why the player can connect with them so well.

  2. Haurchefaunt was the truest and most upright friend our WoL had to this point!
    Took us in, never asked for anything for this act of kindness….

    Love him to tis day, everytime someone reaches this point, i lose a tear…

  3. Welcome to Heavensward. This was the point that broke many of us years ago, and no matter how many times I see it I always start tearing up. I hope you enjoy the rest of Heavensward.

  4. Thanks for all the wonderful comments folks! At time of writing this comment we're now in SHB 5.2! My community kept telling me to upload to YouTube so, I finally did! You're welcome to come join us as we get to the end of Shadowbringers and begin Endwalker soon – all of my VODs are over on my Twitch channel under the collections tab https://twitch.tv/EndyD20🌟

  5. It was that cutscene that made me pick up Dark Knight. I stopped my own progression in game so that when they saw me again I would not only be a knight, but Vengance itself. Our boy's sacrafice has always stuck with me as a tank player.

  6. Being completely honest, seeing Haurchefaunt die doesn't have much of an effect on me, just due to how prevalent the moment is around the community, but watching Edmont break down always activates my tear ducts.

  7. You meantioned npc for slower runs, also useful for practice too. When i first picked up healer, i didnt know how to target or anything so i queued into a npc and figured out everything i needed to play with other pcs.
