NorsePearl: I swear I will never ever get over ShB and EW and the superb writing. Such a satisfying ending to the Hydaelyn and Zodiark saga...

mochakitty8925: Going from that static haunting version through Umtima Thule and then this finally becoming clear broke me. I stopped and sobbed until it looped.

And recently when I heard that this is supposed essentially be Ardbert singing for us broke me again.

asuraxiv9: FFXiV music is some of the best music I’ve heard.

williampearce5757: The fact that canonically, Ardbert is the one singing.

EorzeasOkayestBard: When I was pregnant last year, every time that song came on those first few notes would make me BAWL! Still hits hard but man those pregnancy hormones combined with that song were trouble

AlfredSolidus: I promise I did not have any intention of crying today….thanks for this vid

Arlathos: Not this song causing me to experience a Calamity of Water

MushadX: goddamit now i have to listen to the whole song everytime

D3vious113: This whole arc hit me a lot harder than most people. All of my friends gathered up and had messages to share at the points during the Walk where the Scions stepped off. The single most emotional experience I've ever had in gaming.

ParanoidKitten: One of the few songs that still gives me goosebumps. Even after hearing it for the 5000 times

looseGoose878: My only wish is that it didn't have the singing version playing all the time. It becomes less special when you hear it all the time.

0siris-Abraxas: When you realize the lyrics are Ardbert as they fade in..

leximaomanivong1309: I was sobbing so, so hard as I went through this part. Such good writing, esp if you took the time to talk to the npcs while journeying. Alphinaud got me during. A particular spot T.T

plasmablue6483: I wish I could experience it for the first time again I cried so much the first time through

Violent_Wolfen: All I thought during that time was, "It's 1:00am and I'm fuckin' tired, but I don't want to wait to finish this shit!"

I was tired went I got to Ultima Thule. By the time the credits finished it was 2:30am and I was so burnt out I didn't play the game for two weeks.

giv3m3ahug70: IM NOT CRYING YOUR CRYING

VairesSunchaser: Just the first time? Every single hunt train that passed through had me in tears.

wilhelmwagner3353: it would have been emotional would ystohla not literally take all meaning off the sacrifices away bei spoiling that we can revive them later on

Ron_Junkman: EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!!

chrismartell8328: That is how I felt when I heard that song for the first time

marielucchetta: Mate. Not just the first time! E-ve-ry time!!!
