The most popular rendering of Death as we might understand him today - as a skeletal figure in a black shroud and wielding a scythe - begins with artwork based on the biblical depiction found in the Book of Revelation. It’s a little unclear where the Grim Reaper originated as an idea. Orcus is a “grim” reminder that using the powers of the void is a dangerous game.Īcross a broad spectrum of separate mythological beliefs, the “Reaper” or “Grim Reaper” - otherwise known as “Death” - is an ethereal figure associated with the ending of human lives. This figure ultimately represents a lot of the same ideas that Endwalker approaches: endings, searches for meaning and the inevitability of change. My thoughts on Final Fantasy XIV’s Reaper feel particularly entangled with my understanding of Endwalker as a whole, anchoring my understanding of this sweeping conclusion to a decade-long saga to the Reaper. However, when I decided to dedicate this piece to the game, the thing I felt I could most passionately write about was what I’ve spent the most time with: the Reaper job. I could list countless aspects of Endwalker’s main narrative that personally connected with me or dissect the way it brings together its themes of searching for meaning in a meaningless world wonderfully. Like many others, I chose to level the new Reaper job before completing the Endwalker main scenario quests, which definitely framed my perspective on Endwalker as a whole. My character has put down the gloves and picked up a scythe. As you can probably tell from the headline of this article, I’m not about to use the next thousand words to complain about Monk, though: I’ve already made my peace with that (at the time of publishing, they’ve fixed a few of my issues with it). As much as I wanted to, I couldn’t bring myself to like the new changes to my main job, Monk.
