    This is what I like to call "The exact moment FFXIV becomes FFXIV". Seriously, everything before this moment feels like the prologue, and the moment this fight is over, the training breaks are off and the game just GOES. The slow pace from ARR and the patch quests vanishes the exact moment diamond dust shatters.

      That's one of the things that makes this game so good. You can tell multiple times throughout the game the Devs just did what they though was cool as fuck. Like most MMOs wouldn't interrupt the flow of an entire fight for a music transition but fuck it, it's way cooler wit the interruption.

      This was AMAZING back when it first happened. None of the fights had this dramatic of a change. Titan had the gradual build up, but it was all the same style and just got harder as it went on. The other fights had great music (Garuda and Ramuh are tremendous), but this one took it one step further and *completely changed style* between phases.

    • @PerkulatorBenny
      @PerkulatorBenny 2 года назад +42

      Probably because she is the only one of the ARR (and post-ARR, as her fight is technically in between ARR and HW) Primals who is given proper screentime.
      The others are mostly just "their followers are doing something again, go and beat up their primal" and then a boss fight. "Lady Iceheart" actually has personality and a plot arc.
      But after her, some of the bosses start having more personality and/or a more direct connection to the plot. (King Thordan is a good example of another Primal that's actually woven into the plot instead of just being "the boss fight", as is Tsukuyomi in the next expansion.)
      Though some are still awesome just because they (and also their music) are that cool even if they themselves don't get that much screentime. Ravana is a favorite of mine, as is Sephirot and TItania (a LIghtwarden, so technically not a primal, but eh). Plus, lately I've been reminded by the trial roulette just how nice the song for Lakshmi is.

      Even outside of 14, Shiva's always been my favorite god (or primal or summon, whatever) so I was just majorly saddened and shocked when they were all like "SHIVA IS A TRAITOR AND A HERITIC THAT WISHES FOR THE DEATH OF US ALL!!". That was my very first indicator that they church was evil no matter what evil I was seeing with the heretics tricking and killing people. My first thought was "Shiva would never!", after playing so many final fantasy games with her in it and having just finished 15 before.

      Yeah, that's why her death pains me the most.
      For all what's worth with all the revelations we've gotten on Shb regarding Ascian lore, she had a crystal just like us during ARR and HW and possibly as well as the other Ascians from the Convocation of XIV, had the echo which further proves and cemented her as a sundered Ascian just like us, while her fight was misguided due to her not knowing the full picture, she fought for the good of her people so they won't be continously hunted by the Holy See when they were branded as heretics which mirrors our plight when we were betrayed at the end of ARR among other elements that made her an important character in the story.
      Putting it bluntly, if certain aspects of her life had been different, she could have been a WoL or one of our allies like Kryle, Mikoto and the likes.
      It hurts that she died but if there's a silver lining, since she was most likely sundered, any of the surviving shards has been rejoined eight times which also coincides with us and thanks to the Eden raids and Mitron, we now know that sundered Ascians can reform from the remaining shards so if by devs grace she isn't considered a normal Ascian and she is giving any of the reminding seats of the convocation as there are still sundered convocation Ascians whose identities aren't known to us, she could come back.
      I know that this might be wishful thinking but while it's hard to know if she will ever get back, her song oddly enough now has some elements that are being added to Endwalker like the Reaper and stuff and the raid will focus on Ascians so maybe can we keep hope alive?

      @@gwagner1380 Tbh, I doubt she's coming back; we don't have a soul crystal of her memories or the ability to form an Ascian Prime with another shard of her, and even if we did it was kind of a running theme in Shadowbringers with characters like Ryne and Gaia that it would be wrong to forcibly overwrite someone else's personality and memories like that. Even if they are a shard of Ysayle, they deserve to be able to choose their own path and identity rather than having us selfishly force the identity of someone we lost into them.
      My personal headcanon is that she's actually the Source's shard of Igeyorhm, the very same Ascian who got her to summon Shiva in the first place. It's a fun lil source of Ascian angst: Igeyorhm, as penance for her errors on the Thirteenth, is tasked with screwing over a shard of her own self.

    I disagree with one thing here - this isn't Shiva's theme, in the first phase we fought Shiva, in the second Ysayle realised we're not dying, started losing her shit and it's her theme with her emotions.
    I mean, perfectly suits her, a member of people abandoned by Ishgard, leader of a failing rebel movement, losing every time she used Shiva's power and always afraid until going through a mental breakdown once her notion of being reborn Shiva was laughed off her entire life was an escape of her inadequacy and fears only to go all guns blazing, saving WoL and scions from Imperial warship in an act of self-sacrifice, embracing who she was and attempting to actually fix her mistakes as herself, not Shiva.

Despite my leaving, the one thing that stuck with me was the music, and specifically this song. And bc if it, and the FF16 collab, I gave FF14 another shot about a month and a half ago, and I'm so glad I did. Seeing the context for this song also makes it hit so much harder.

A True Fascist wouldn't have humored that idea that we could inherit the Ancient Legacy of protecting the Star, which was Emet's goal above all else.

    The hokey '90s Girl Power vibe of this song makes me giggle, but it kind of fits Ysayle perfectly. She wants to be someone she isn't and will never be, takes up another person's cause and tries to make it her own. She has the spirit, but not the context and history. I love when she's taken down a peg. She starts to show a little more humility and nuance.
