Thread: 1.0 Ending, Did you know?

I sadly never had a chance to play 1.23, but man that ending, so many feels! So Epic!
But did anyone actually know bahamut was inside beforehand? Or was everyone just guessing how the world would end before the servers went offline. If so, how was your reaction seeing bahamut unleashed? I would assume that would be one of the greatest endings of all time.

I enjoyed reading through this soon after I started playing ARR http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...an-Era-Trailer

For those who played 1.0 from start to end it was an epic end. SE put so much feel and flair into it, that i still get goosebumps watching the ending vid. There were tons of Threads about it and how many people actually started crying. I find that was one of the most intense and interesting moments i had as a MMO Player.

At one point there were speculations about Dalamud and its relation to Bahamut, but the confirmation we got within the final Phases and in the Video. There is still speculation about what did happen do Louisoix. With 2.2's Content there were Informations about it, but not going to spoiler it at this point.



When i saw Bahamut "unleashed" i kind of knew it, but still was "WHAT THE... FAAWK".

One thing I find really sad is that new players don't know Louisoix. They watch the trailer and the old man give that heartbreaking smile and they're like "who's this douchebag", when for those who played he was the guy that told us "good job, mate" for killing them primals over and over again etc. We knew him.

Also Dalamud that approaced the planet little by little was an amazing touch. It really gave the impression of continuity. 10/10 would play again.

Doesn't matter what it's called or whether you know the "douchebags" or not, there are many people who never played 1.0 and yet they too were sad and amazed at the ending.

I had no clue who he was and I teared up. He clearly sacrificed himself in the video so its not difficult to figure out he is a good guy. It made me really want to know who he is.
