For what it's worth, I cast my lot with yours. If you need a push, I'll be right there behind you. If you lose control, I'll do my best to stop you. So. Let us be about it, hero. As for the matter of your asylum, I am afraid no progress will be made until the threat to our nation is diminished. But do not despair! You are not without allies! You are more than welcome to shelter here for as long as you wish. Pray, think of it as a new headquarters of sorts. The "Falling Snows" or some such. For many long years man and kobold have fueded over territory. Pillaging and perishing for the earth beneath our feet. It may be said that we fought to survive. But what we have sown in blood we have reaped in suffering, and it cannot go on. I would see us set aside the past and work together for peace. Doubt not but that Nidhogg will call out to his brood ere long, nor that they shall answer him. Steel yourselves. For the true test is yet to come. Come what may, we will never cease to believe. Upon the souls of they who have sacrificed themselves to pave the way for peace... we will *never* abandon our cause. Are these truly the words of Garlemald's ruler? The flaws and foibles which you so abhor are what make us who we are. Every nation, even yours Emperor Varis, is made whole through the combinations of these imperfections. The strengths of one, compensating for the weaknesses of another. While it is true that man succumbs all too often to anger and avarice... he may yet overcome his baser instincts through the forming of bonds with others. Fostering community, and cooperation. That the protector of an empire should not only reject these fundamental truths... but seek to change them at so dear a cost to life, is indefensible. Such a man is not fit to govern. Pray, join me in welcoming our Scion allies! But recently returned from their mission to the Far East. We have been most eager to hear a firsthand account of your time there. Eventful, as we understand it was. Very well. Allow me. Such victories are rarely won without sacrifice, but the prize is worth the price. Doma! Free after all these years. Bloody hells! Flooding their own castle for a better chance at victory!? We could learn a thing or two from that lad. Mistress Lyse. Commander Aldynn. It gives me great pleasure to formally welcome the city-state of Ala Mhigo to the Eorzean Alliance. The pleasure is ours your grace. I know I speak for Ala Mhigans when I say that we are glad of
this chance to stand with our comrades of the Alliance. And we for our part are glad indeed to be able to welcome friends both old and new. Lord Hien of Doma, at your service. Pray, accept my heartfelt thanks for your generous invitation. THANK YOU! For pitying an old fool! Now, now! It is far too soon for that! Save your tears for the morrow. You may be sure we will have ample cause to shed them, be they for joy or despair. Bah! Even that sounds morose! We who yet walk the path should not think too much on the destination. When the hour arrives, we shall welcome what comes with open arms. For every ending marks a new beginning. From tragedy and sacrifice, we rise to greet a new dawn. As did she. Only to be drawn unto another battlefield, another cause, as if by fate. To think we share the same blood. Pray, excuse us. Those were the days of promises and vows. Of tentative first steps into an uncertain future. A future shaped by the choices we made, in ways we could never have foreseen. Born of good and evil! Of Light and Darkness! And shepherded by our hand. Be it for weal, or be it for woe. This will work, won't it? Well, our theories have held thus far! But, I make no promises about what is to come. Even the greatest mages in history knew better than to transport a soul across the Rift. We, my dear, are in unknown territory. Prepare as we might, we cannot account for all possibilites. And it is in such circumstances that accidents are wont to occur. Yet miracles do happen! So, let us pray, and will our friends home. I won't stop praying until I know they're safe. Thou hast broken down the wall I built around thee... and partaken of thy mistress' blessing once more. Strong art thou, mortal. Stronger than any other of thy kind. Having looked upon thy deeds, I am convinced. Thou art worthy to bear Her light. If ever you should falter, remember this. No one, however powerful, is immune to the whisperings of doubt and despair. Do not give in to them. But do not deny them either. Look instead to the light within, that you may continue to serve as a beacon to others. Thank you, Minfilia. For believing in us. For believing in me. [ARDBERT] I'm grateful I got to bend your ear at least. And just for that... I reckon I'll stick with you. To the very end.
You probably will not get the recognition you deserve for the work you put into this but I appreciate it with all my heart. Thank you a thousand times!
I recognized the lines going through this quest, but I couldn't exactly recall the scenes some were from since I hadn't heard them in many years! It was nice seeing when they were spoken and the context we heard them in again. Thanks for putting this together!
Godsend for someone who changed languages halfway
This is great! The only suggestion I have is to list the quote on-screen (maybe in italics) with each cutscene so viewers can see what part of it was the βvoice from the past.β Other than that, it was lovely to view what you put together.
So for all of the cutscenes that you replayed to record for this, you put together an outfit for what you could have been wearing back then? That's some solid detail work.
I've been meaning to spend some time going back through the Unending Journey for these, so thanks so much for saving me that effort! What was your strategy for tracking down the lines? Is your memory just that good? 'Cause I recognized voices, but hell if I could've told you the context they came from, even more (relatively) recent ones like the Admiral.
Thank you so much! I am terrible at recognizing voices so this helps me so much.
great vid, only thing to add was the last ardbert line is missing, it's from 3.4 when you fight him
This is truly amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to compile this. I imagine it took a lot of hours to find it all, edit, etc.
Hearing all the quotes in context when they were originally used throughout the various expansions, and then remembering how those same quotes were used in the EW MSQ, "You Are Not Alone," makes that entire walk at the end all the more impactful.
Thank you. Again.
Damn, the XIV community is wonderful.
