FF14’s emotional high point and its action climax both fit the bill. I’ve read nothing but complaints about the latest expansion and I think that’s because everyone kinda recognizes that the game ended with Endwalker and nothing else they do in this universe will ever hit the same again.
There are SO many absolutely amazing tracks in the FF14 OST, it has to be unmatched in terms of sheer volume of bangers. Even the Shinryu fight at the climax of the Stormblood DLC (which I didn’t really care for) hits some real emotional notes that got me hyped in the moment.
If I can vent for a moment, I’ve been gaming for a long, long time and I’ve always loved JRPGs. I never touched FF11 and was pretty much set to avoid FF14 as well. Then I saw the Answers video for the launch of 2.0 and, no joke, was literally weeping for characters I didn’t even know. So I started playing and focused on the story. In that regard, it has its ups and downs given the genre, but the totality of it up through Endwalker is one of the greatest stories ever told. Shadowbringers alone is so incredible, I could gush about it for paragraphs. I give them full credit for actually having the integrity to essentially end the game. You fight the embodiment of universal entropy. I don’t know what you could do after that, but I haven’t touched Dawntrail and haven’t seen much reason to.
For a few beats from Shadowbringers for the actual thread itself:
