patentdragonSince lunchtime, I have been overawed by something I came across on a visit to the Massively website. It's the "final cut movie" of troubled MMO Final Fantasy XIV - yesterday, the final event in the game before its reworking for next year took place, and after the servers went down, the movie was aired to players.
Given previous semi-satisfactory attempts to embed videos, I've included this one after the cut...
I've never played the game - I don't want to get into another pay-to-play MMO - but holy sh8, what an ending. "Glorious", I suppose you could call it, and damn I know none of these characters or their back-stories, but I very nearly cried. Beautiful...
..and then, in the comments, as I was metabolising the emotion invested in what I'd seen, I read this:
I'd rather have that than just see the screen go black for the last time on any game I play.

(x.armitage.iii) Amazing cut scene. It did make me a little sad to think this is how my character met her end.Ah, crap.
