Venat's walk to this song. Bahamut breaking free of Dalamud to this song. Lyna lamenting her weakness to this song. Ardbert holding out his axe to you. Valens getting squished. Meteion giving her report. The possibilities are endless.

Omg watch Nanamo die to this song is killing me

Eh...good try, but its not as cursed

god damn this stoopid woke song

Soken needs to see this

The song is too similar from one in The Greatest Showman and just doesn't gel for me. I'm not very fond of it. :<

This whole expansion has be VERY concerned for the future of FF14. Have they fallen? Is this the beginining of the downspiral? I pray it's not...

I laughed so hard I started hyperventilating XD I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. I am SENT, good God...

The best setting is the one that automatically skip cut scenes you have already seen.

Thanks. I hate it :D

Ok most of these versions of the scenes are better than the originals though. It just doesn’t really work for the 2.5 cutscene and for the last one the bgm should cut out with the gunshot and it would be perfect

I didn't cry at Haurchefaunts death, I smiled.

Man. Not a single Black Gospel fan in sight. Shame.

I’ve been playing for a good while now and this seems pretty helpful. I’ve gladly become a subscriber.

This is good!

How about the option to let us see the Ocrestrion that's playing?

I can’t believe you didn’t also put ‘sphene, listen to me’ when Shinryu burst through

(Me: with 2500+ hours in this game) hmm yes yes interesting thank you

Never in my life did i think i could hate this song even more. Yet here we are

Thanks for the guide on xiv settings savage 😂 def some things I didn’t know!

"We're gonna build a big o' bomb~! :D" - me in a singsong voice to the lyrics while the song plays at a certain scene that it plays in during dawntrail

I was like I swear if he cleaned his bag for this video lol

I love FFXIV music, its basically 95% of my overall music taste, but smile? I really dont like smile

Thanks for make me remember when FF14 used to have good stories.

I don't know what everyone is talking about. Dawntrail is obviously the best expansion they've done so far. In fact, they should do more of what they did in this expansion.

A smile does NOT better suit these scenes XD You could definitely make a sequel to this. Scenes like Yotsuyu killing Asahi, Zenos offing himself, or just weird scenes where it doesnt fit like Alisae trying to model a Porxie or Alphi throwing himself into the Ruby Sea

stopping by to drop a dislike on this contrarian garbage

I'm sorry, but the scenes with Haurchefant and Nanamo were absolutely disrespectful. Now the scene with G'raha... somehow that was just hilarious. 5/5 stars no drama.

Broooo! You didn't do Tesleen? Ball drop. Redo and repost pls.

Oh god, I already didnt care for the song when it showed up in the scene meant for it. Hearing it like this just makes me outright LOATHE it...

I can't believe you missed out on putting smile over emperor varis revealing his master plan for bringing about the master race

LUL perfect very out of place!

I'm sorry no, this song is the worst! The lyrics might be "okay" but it literally sounds like a bunch of awkward children singing on a poor little stage in a school cafeteria, it's so rough sounding it literally hurts my ears to hear it. The only time I felt like it was even mildly listenable was when it was a cover by someone else. It feels like it was made by an AI, it's a joke! That's just the way I feel about it, but if you like it then you like it. The world's a big place it's okay to like something even if other people don't like it, enjoy life keeping smiling! ❤

You did not.....

I know each new moment i am going to think "Please stop this! Don't do it" but i can't look away

Scene: Ishgardian man bleeding the death. Lyrics: JUST IMAGINE WHAT’S AROUND THE BEND!!!

Gotta love how you have pretty much every kill in this video but G'raha 2 and Papalymo (literal who?)

This song reminds me of We Are the World. Kind of gross imo

This video was so helpful.... I was about to give up on Pictomancer when I ran upon your tutoial -- best one ever! Thank you ! I hope you have one for Viper also!

I must disagree, but good work mixing

Okay, okay. Fair point.

You know, a smile really *does* better suit a hero

Well so long as Smile doesn't breach containment and you don't do a Part 2 where Smile works for such scenes as: Mordin in Mass Effect 3, Dom in Gears of War 3, Pretty much any scene in Halo Reach ect.

As much as I adore Akino as a singer, I cannot in good faith agree with you on SMILE being the best song on the soundtrack, that's the complete version of Endwalker, the one with With Hearts Aligned included in it. Also, Answers is right there. That being said though, they could have stood to have used SMILE's motif a lot more in dawntrail.

This is a woman with a HEAVY accent that is clearly struggling to pronounce the English lyrics.

The first track out of XIV I find irredeemable.

Who hurt you? O_o

I'm betting that many if not most of the people are hate this song are internet atheists who are triggered because it sounds evangelical (not to be confused with normal not insane atheists)

Shoulda done one for tesleen

Best picto guide. Thank you❤
