What kind of video is it? The YouTuber My Name is Byf is THE go-to person if you want to learn something about the lore of Destiny 2. He has over 1.07 million subscribers on YouTube, regularly reaches hundreds of thousands of viewers with his videos, and is known in the community for presenting the lore of the loot shooter in a truly high-quality way.
For the release of The Final Shape, he has published his longest video to date: the entire story of Destiny. The complete work is nearly 10 hours long, divided into individual chapters, and has already garnered over 636,000 views.

However, there is a little disappointment for German-speaking Destiny players: The video is only available in English. Basic knowledge of the English language is therefore beneficial, although there are automatically generated subtitles in German from YouTube. Unfortunately, these are often not very good.
For the Destiny community, this is a very special video – not only because it helps them get through a server downtime, a long journey, or a boring night shift. With The Final Shape, Destiny brings the “Light and Darkness” saga to an end after 10 years.
With the video, players can refresh their knowledge of the lore of Destiny, in case they have forgotten something over the years or perhaps skipped some expansions. Additionally, the video evokes nostalgic feelings for some players on YouTube of the many hours spent playing. For some, life has changed significantly in these 10 years.
For Bungie, it wasn’t easy to conclude the story of the saga after 10 years, explained game director Tyson Green in an interview.
