Oh my f*cking god, what a MASTERPIECE! Crystal Dragon is without any doubt the best story instance that Anet has ever made, and I thought it could not get any better than Killing Balthazar...

First, I was like "Hell, are we really going to kill Kralk face to face now? No more excuses, no more preperation, no more side story stuff? Finally, Face to Face to an Elder Dragon?!"

Then I was like "no, can't be, Anet has proven too many times that they just won't make a REAL elder dragon fight"... and then they ACTUALLY f*ckING DO!!!!!

And then I was like, alright, let's end this, lets finally put an end to Guild Wars 2 and the Elder Dragons... After AFKing down Zhaitan, not even realizing I was beating Modremoth when I did, putting Primordus and Jormag back to their lullaby (which I don't think we will ever see them awaken from) and first do everything to NOT get Kralkartorrik killed, and then do EVERYTHING to find a way to kill him, LETS HIT THIS BIG ASS LIZARD IN HIS GOD DAMN FACE!

AND THEN WE ACTUALLY HIT HIM IN HIS FACE! :D :D

And everything seems to work out just as we planned, Avengers Endgame baby, the 1 in a Billion Chances plan... and then....

From the bottom of my heart, a dearest thank you to everyone at ArenaNet for this. I finally care about the story of this game again, I am finally on my edge to see the Grand Finale...

Man i’m just trying to figure out what’s going to happen next.

Major oof out of this though, I really didn’t expect the fight to go the way it did. So kudos to Anet for having the guts to do the thing(and nice character animations, it’s was neat the way the pc was animated at the end)

Thank you! Doing all of the PC animations for the ending was a long but ultimately rewarding endeavor.

It felt like AAA quality (with engine limitations of course), it put other online games to shame. Congrats !

Thank you! Da-Hee and I worked very closely to make that scene come to life, and she went above and beyond. Massive Kudos :)

I thought to myself: How can ANet somehow tug my cynical heartstrings after the Taimi bad news reveal? And yet they did it, and I'm all feelings and sad yet amazed by how good the story is yet WHY ANET WHY

During the last instance I couldn't help myself but think "It's crazy thinking this is a MMORPG instance" You'd NEVER see that level of immersion/grandeur in ff XIV (and god knows its story and setting is crazy good for an mmo), or WoW.

Wow, that is very high praise. I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Thank you <3

Hey, dunno if you're the right person to bug about this but I didn't see a single subtitle during that final sequence outside of the commander's final line and Zafirah's text bubble. I'm not hard of hearing or anything, but I suspect someone out there is going to feel their absence way more than I did.

Thank you for the report! I'll look into this.
