If You Haven't Checked Out Majuular's "Ultima" Retrospectives, You Really Should

Majuular's has been publishing video retrospectives of the "Ultima" series; he's already done the first five games, with more to come.

YouTube streamer Majuular‘s channel is full of retrospectives of many classic games, but recently his attention has been on the Ultima series. He’s covered Akalabeth and Ultima 1, Ultima 2, Ultima 3, Ultima 4, and (most recently) Ultima 5, and delves into significant detail about each game. The earlier videos run to about an hour in length; the two most recent ones clock in at nearly two hours.…

It's been almost 3 years but I'm STILL not over how the stars aligned in Endwalker and the weather changed to Umbral Wind right after Estinien sacrificed himself.

Like, Estinien and the dragons went on about how the young had no winds to guide them and how this was tied to the dragons' doom (the eggs just broke me, man), so when he sacrificed himself to help us by creating a vortex/wind plume to guide us forward, it hit really hard because man! Though the dragons' future had been stolen from them, Estinien didn't give in to the defeat or resignation that had captured them and helped us forward in a way that resonated with the dragons he'd come to hold so dear. Where they saw what they had lost and gave up, Estinien paved the way to the future himself, using their dreams and his dream both.

But then I looked up at the weather for the first time and just crumbled to dust. Because there in the corner was the bright green circle of Umbral Winds and I just. Broke.

From what I understand the weather changing at that point was actually complete chance, but I didn't realize that and to me it seemed like Estinien sacrificed himself not only to guide us forward, but to bring back that most precious thing that the dragons lost and remind them of what happiness and hope felt like. The dragons had lost the wind to guide them but Estinien wouldn't let them stew in their sadness. He didn't just reprimand the dragon who'd given in to despair by telling them of the survival of their kin through Midgardsormr; he brought back the wind that was so essential to their lives, the thing they loved the most (save the children whose lives could never be recovered). He changed the weather of the entirety of Ultima Thule so the dragons could feel the touch of the wind that they'd treasured but lost and had mourned for an age. Think how much power that would take? How much emotional strength? How much devotion? How much love and care?

It also hit me hard because it was like Estinien wasn't really gone. Thancred had sacrificed himself to create the air we breathed, meaning he was constantly around us, and Estinien had sacrificed himself to be the winds that guided us, the weather following us throughout the region.

In the end, yeah, that second one was actually just the result of really convenient timing for a weather change afaik, but I didn't know it at the time and man did it crush me in such a good way. Endwalker, man. Estinien, man. The dragons, man. Ahhh!

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -

That perches in the soul -

And sings the tune without the words -

And never stops - at all -

"Ultima V Redux": Shrines Complete

"Ultima V Redux": Shrines Complete The promising-looking effort to rebuild "Ultima 5" in 3D now boasts working shrines!

Brad Hannah posted an update on his recent development work on Ultima V Redux on the Ultima Dragons Facebook group the other day, in which he announced that work on implementing the game’s shrines was complete: I have been quietly working on the scripting engine for cutscenes and places like Shrines and the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom! The shrines are done as far as I can tell – just polishing…
