Just finished MSQ and I gotta say.... Wow. This fight was just incredible. I also just really enjoyed this expac. It had the intended 'summer vacation' feel to rest after all the heavy stuff (dont get me wrong I loved ShB and Endwalker too) This felt like such a breath of fresh air and I can't wait to see where everything goes! Especially after that being the final fight for 7.0
Definitely enjoyed the WOL summer vacation with this expansion after all the doom and gloom for 5 expansions straight! Ty for uploading! Was looking for this song since it sounds like Megumi’s Theme in JJK
@@Kiboune_YT If the combat was really good PSO2 wouldn't be such a barren fucking wasteland lmao. Game's got no selling point except being a better looking tower of fantasy
@@untrustingstatue Nah dude, you got it wrong. The combat in PSO2 NGS is actually very good and fast paced. The problem is that once you have the best gear and no longer have a need to farm anything, the wait for something new is too long. And when that "something new" comes along, it's usually too little too late. Play the game before you talk shit
It's wild how much longer the phase 2 music is than the actual phase itself - I thought it was just looping at first, but there's an entire new section from 7:05 that you don't even come close to hearing in-game. This is probably copium, but maybe it's for EX? I was really disappointed that Endsinger EX never played With Hearts Aligned.
I noticed that too! Well, now that i think about it, while the final boss isn't a mindless entity absorbing the planet's lifeforce, in essence, she is similar that she world hops looking to absorb the aether from other worlds to sustain her own
@@Zerohopexe I guess Sphene declares herself "a devourer of worlds" which isn't too different to what Jenova was. Also, the figure in the final bosses chest that represents Sphene is kind of reminiscent of the Jenova doll.
The part beginning at 2:13 I'm obessed with since the job trailer video (it was Black Mage and then continued into the Viper showcase). Is there a whole track of it in the expansion or is this track the sore origin? Anyone knows? 😲
I was definitely sad to be fighting Hades and Endsinger, but this song combined with the person we had to fight had me utterly destroyed. Also, holy shit 1:48
Feels crazy to be done with it. I finished late last night, fight is hype as hell. I look forward to the ex. Also, I think I do know what's up next, which... I mean, can't say we didn't see it coming. Shard exploration with the power of the macguffin.
Who dropped Xeno in my Final Fantasy? For real tho this was a awesome start to a new Arc and I cant wait to see what they do next. Also a regular Trial with proper difficulty? More of that please! The fights were challenging this time around.
The beginning sounds very similar to some renditions of J-E-N-O-V-A, You Can Hear the Cry of the Planet, and maybe even some Those Chosen By the Planet. Haven't gotten to this part in MSQ yet, and it probably doesn't have much to do with FF7, but I couldn't help notice just from listening to the first 10 or so seconds.
FF14 is known for having mostly unfitting music, especially in fights, few exceptions. The music designer focus more on selling the music itself than to make it fit. This doesns't even sound like fight music when you hear it, more like some anime intro, with people randomly sitting and running around.
@@miriamweller812 Almost every single Final Fantasy game is known for having music that is meant to have a dominating position on the product mood and is strong enough to be sold on its own and actually sells concerts, especially in fight music. A person who doesn't want this isn't really looking for what the series has to offer. FF14 is simply known for being Square Enix's more proper attempt to make a Final Fantasy game into an MMO - and much of its music is pulled from other Final Fantasy games.
@@miriamweller812 I think you're completely missing the point on how FF14's music works, in particular since SB onwards. The music is supposed to have uplifting parts, as it pushes the character/player forward to victory. Think of it as a cheerleader cheering you on. That's the whole point. You can dislike it, but I wouldn't say it's unfitting, cause it goes hand in hand with the theme of the story.
The last phase the music was carrying me as I was the only dps left, there 2 tanks and no healers and we lived through that phase and I delivered the final blow as a viper, it felt so good
Love reading these stories ❤ I got to play main tank on this and the music had me going thru the roof popping off with two tank LBs to keep the dream alive for my team 🎉
There's the end credits motif and a second motif like flow and tomorrow and tomorrow. It's the song that plays during the final monologue before the credits. And you'll hear part of it during the ascension ceremony.
Wuk Lamat was the only bad part of the expansion. Way too much time given to a character who was mid compared to Ysayle, Yugiri, the Exarch, etc. They really should've given the second half of this expansion to Koana and left Wuk Lamat behind. I think thematically it just makes more sense for him and it feels cruel to have him become the Vow of Reason just to get written out. The second half of the story feels so made for Koana it's unreal.
If memory serves me well we saw that same minority of haters shitting on Endwalker too. I think I'll just ignore them at this point. The game has some flaws here and there, but it's by far the best mmo currently on the market imo.
That phase 2 music really pump up my determination and feels im gonna say to Sphene after reaching her low HP WOL: The world may not be happiness at all...But as long we keep going our adventuring, our future and everything in it!....THIS WORLD IS ALREADY HAPINESSS!!!
WoL is a speech- and mindless murder hobo - thanks to the terrible writing of the game. Could have been much more, but Square is simply too lazy and greedy for that.
Purely standalone, this is a pretty cool fight. Visually and mechanically amazing mechanics, exceptionally well-crafted arena + surroundings. But narratively... This was the fastest disconnect I've ever had in the game. I wasn't quite sure how we were going to go about the fight, but seeing this unit just summoned fairly out of nowhere and being as devoid of any life possible, I just zoned out and went to do my Island Sanctuary. In hindsight, I guess I can somewhat see what it's meant to represent, but by choosing this as the final boss, I just cannot _connect._ Maybe a hot take, but this is mine.
TBH i get it but at the same time i also can't really see how else they would have implemented her as a fight. Its not like she was anyone spectacularly powerful that we know of, shit, whats his face did most of the heavy lifting on the fighting side of things. Narratively it fits with her memories being in the cloud
You're kinda on the money thematically. The boss is devoid of all life specifically because it's like a mechanical representation of Sphene's mind and soul, like the reason why it can fight us is because it essentially buries her humanity under like 20 Proxies.
@@kingarthas2814 For one, as we went through Living Memory, not ONCE did we ever get stopped. If that system was so hellbent on keeping people in that paradise, it could at least have shown "outrage" at being held back by Sphere (?) while we went around. Then showing dialogue in which it shows that it's stuck in a thought process deadlock of keeping the people safe and happy, _reasoning_ that we are a threat, then acting accordingly. It'd have been far more terrifying if it had reasoned all of this in a calm and disconnected voice. That would have been far better than this 'unhinged annihilation-bent death machine'.
I really love phase 1, but phase 2 is extremely rough in some places, to the point that it brought down the first fight experience pretty heavily. It honestly sound more like a MIDI first draft, especially with the brass, and I’m kind of shocked considering how high the music quality is FFXIV generally.
Considering the context of the fight, I think not having a live orchestra makes sense. I do think it's just passable, though-the phase 1 theme is the highlight for sure
Largely I think the problem is that it opens really rough and doesn't get the chance to hit its stride since phase 2 is over so fast, it gets good after a bit but that phase is like less than a minute long
The organization of the composition is weird and well, disorganized. I wouldnt say it makes the song bad, just sounds like they didn't know what they were trying to do other than "Uh, something upbeat" Compare to other boss tracks, there's really no pattern to follow.
for those complaining this expac had no "hero moments"... wuk lamat at the end just had bad voice acting. she wasn't able to sell her "hero moment" properly. her "i want to know all of you" was poor compared to the exarch's "let expanse contract". it had shades of "this was not my intention" levels of VA. wuk x sphene is a kinda worse ryne x gaia. it hits different with JP voices. I feel bad for soken since the writing/VA ruins his hard carry with the music on that scene.
This really feels like the Xenoblade 2 va situation all over again. Reminds me of Rex. There's time where his Va did a great job and then there was other time where you couldn't help but cringe. Same with Wuk Lamat time where the VA did a great job but at other lines where I can't help but cringe.
And honestly she's not terrible the rest of the time. I think it came down to bad voice direction. The whole last fight lacked that intensity you'd expect and I know they'd both be capable of delivering that intensity if they were instructed. But that's unfortunately the norm with English voice acting and kind of to be expected

Tbh The whole xpac was... mid at best, and mostly bad. Might be just me...
storywise yes, everything else is awesome
@@johnway8819 Yeah I was talking about story mostly. There are things I dislike outside it as well. Being new skills, but that will get patched out.
Yeah, story was the definition of mid. But everything else? Awesome
@@SirStrikeFreedom Main thing I dislike is some of the new job ''additions'' and how GNB feels. That new gap closer is pure evil.
@@Arnveld True. I was kinda shocked to see my gap closer gone but there's another one? I just gave up on it and switched to maining PCT

This is how much I hated the MSQ of DT. Even a absolute banger like this didn't give me an ounce of joy during.
Edit: Phase 1 only, phase 2 is kinda made like Smile is bad.
Dawntrail might be a massive stinker story-wise but music is great as usual.
Too bad Wuk had to fucking ruin the fight.
Very cool fight until Wuk Lamat shows up and ruins it.
