That moment fell flat for me as I couldn't connect a lot of the disembodied voices to who they were supposed to be. Maybe it hits differently for people who just very recently burned through ARR to EW, but as someone who was on and off playing since ARR launch I just couldn't connect them all and didn't get much of an impact from that moment.
I don't know - even having played the MSQ in a relatively short space of time (December 2021 - end of March this year) that 'walk' did upset me. Mostly because, so far as I recall, the first and last voice we hear is Arbert's:
First: "If you need a push, I'll be right there behind you"
Last: "Lets finish this"

I mean, I remembered most of the voices inbetween but the fact that the first and last voice was Arberts..... well, part of us or not, he really was with us every step of the way.

The choice of line spoken by Hien was interesting though - I would've assumed he would have spoken the line he spoke immediately AFTER the one we heard - "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."
