The Power of Love or The Power of Friendship will save them, a Chekhov's Skill reveals to help, anything usually avoids doom. In almost every case - be it movie, literature or game - the heroes somehow avoid the end of the world. Even if you've never played the game, the video is heartbreaking. And the player characters (our heroes) - who've been on the battlefield fighting enemy forces - freeze in fear and horror, visibly fighting back tears as they see their home and friends destroyed with no hope of survival, as the Scions pray desperately to the Twelve for help.

The End of an Era cinematic, all near-six minutes of it.
