POV: You just discovered what that dusty old uniform in the attic was and grandpa is pissed.
Love how the guitar drops and so does the healer and ninja
i should not be laughing at this so hard
Love how I read this comment exactly as that happened
A perfect legend
@@PrayLuna Ultimate trial titles either mean :
1- you're a god who plays this game since the release of ff14 (the original shitshow). You probably cleared the ultimate fights in no time with a godlike progteam.
2- You are VERY FUKKIN stubborn and progged slowly but surely with a team of either friends of Fc'mates of similar skills. Might have taken a couple of months to get the weapons, you got better at every aspect of raiding for it. the title is a nice bonus. My respect to ya.
3- You got carried by a superior team of players. Get that tittle out of there, you don't get to wear it untill you cleared by your own merits.
@@Loispealz34 4- You bought the clear
I love how the Gaius image orders volleyfire and then dodges the attacks himself afterwards. It's fun to think that this is probably how he fought on the frontlines in his day.
Someone pointed out that it was an extremely clever strategy.
Giving the illusion of a safe spot so his enemies can't escape (as well as overwhelming them).
I was healing and didn't really notice this.
Sadly this detail is removed in the EX version where he teleports away :(
@@fredxu99 I think it makes it even cooler, because you'll be on your own. No aoe highlight, no Gaius for you to look quickly for a safezone. He left you in the battlefied where fire is gonna rain and his soldiers will shootout. If you fail to recognize a safe area, you're done.
Have you seen the old cutscene of the Scions fighting against Gaius back in 1.0?
It's cool this soundtrack comes with a game.
I know right? What a steal!
Man, I feel weird given this is one of my favourite games ever made, but yeah you're absolutely right lmao
Underrated comment imo
These guys where pretty dedicated to the tunes they made, that is for sure
As both a Ff14 and guilty gear fan, i allow this meme to be stolen.
Taking the "I wanna be like daddy when I grow up" to whole new level.
Bear witness to these sick riffs.
Bear witness to the TRUE power of the ULTIMATE BANGER!
My experience through this entire questline is just me headbanging through my tears
YEA
Such emotional devastation. :(
2:38 the guitar solo and the descending arpeggio part right after is just chef's kiss pure LB4 certified banger
Taking “I wanna be just like you, Dad” a little far, aren’t you, kiddo?
And Gaius who has grown from that point is like : "No not like that!"
NOTICE ME OTOU-SAMA
Really enjoyed the questline, it's such great Gundam homage.
What would Gaius have been feeling when he's watching this fight on the side?
For all his might as the sword of Garlemald, so sure of himself, crushing all oppression in his conquests, his naivete had caught up with him.
It's all come back to haunt him in a sick caricature.
He's had to watch as his children, influenced by his past self and his later defeat, perish one by one to the Weapon Project that he started. His golden image created by the Emerald Weapon now a part of the forces harming those dear to him.
Gaius isn't a cold blooded man - in fact, he does care about his adopted children, which makes this storyline interesting and meaningful but at the same time so heart-wrenching.
I expected that Gaius would have to fully atone at some point for his "might makes right" views, but "no parent should have to bury their child".
It's his penance. The writers knew they couldn't just let him become an ally with no consequences. So this entire storyline is him finally being forced to see what he started to its bitter conclusion. 4 of his 5 kids die one by one, for a fight he abandoned. Puppets for Valens the way he was a puppet for the Empire, blind to their atrocities. For all that talk about the beast tribes and the eikons they summoned, was the Empire really much better? With its class division, rampant racism, and willingness to experiment on innocents? It wasn't enough for Gaius to say "I hate the Ascians for using us." He needed to have his eyes opened to the fact that *Garlemald itself* was a problem. It was never just the Ascians.
It started grim, and i broke down sobbing by the end of this storyline
Gaius: What is the meaning of this? Wait... that glow...
Black Wolf's Image: BEAR WITNESS TO THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!
Gaius: Such devastation. This was not my intention.
Gaius: "Okay I get it I'm a bad dad!"
But is he a worse one than Goku?
@@juniper2788 That is a solid yes and no, chief XDXD
@@calamaty2007 00
@@juniper2788 At least he's smarter than Goku.
I love at 4:56 you can practically see the mental "the boss is almost dead and do I even bother raising the DNC that should know better after seeing what happened to the others"
how am i supposed to dps while im headbanging?!
To the beat
You mean you dont headbang while dpsing?
It's hard playing as dancer as i twerking to the music, god yoshi p pls
I could MT while headbanging, you can do it toooooo
SHSJSJ IM
One thing I noticed: During Rank and File, Gaius will actually jump into the open spots in the line of fire. Those blind spots in the ranks? They're not for you.
They're for HIM so he can keep kicking ass in the frontlines even with his army firing in his direction.
Gaius was a goddamn military genious.
This song blew me away. Especially seeing Gauis appear. I heard someone say the song was good, but I didn't think it'd be this great. Hearing this while doing the mechanics properly was amazing.
Never expected Gaius redemption arc to be such a tearjerker!
This hits harder than Allie's traumas
2:56 That beat is amazing
Straight outta Castlevania, sounds like bloody tears, for sure
I love how you can hear the choir singing the main tune of Imperial Will in the background of this banger. Just elevates it even further.
This fight gave us a glimpse of what the black wolf was like in his days of a conquering general, and you truly understand how he got his reputation.
The Black Wolf Stalks Again aka "The Gold Ranger Riffs Again"
Okay, so this Orchestrion is called "The Black Wolf Stalks Again."
This is entirely new, right? Ruby had Rise of the White Raven, but Gaius’s original battle just uses an instrumental of White Raven, IIRC.
It is a remix imperial will
>Get hit by Firing line on normal as a healer
>Just a vuln up and a bit of damage
>Get hit by firing line on EX as a tank
>Lmao sorry I hope you Holmganged that, make sure to look out for the airstrike.
>watching Tank get hit on ex as a healer
>bene's on cooldown
>lmao good luck gunbreaker, shouldn't have bolided cause you had no patience
I wasn't expecting this BANGER track on Emerald Weapon... Soken just keeps getting better!
Dude's just going nuts. I want him to keep going nuts.
Soken has been unstoppable during this expansion.
I agree with y'all but also Under the Weight, Oblivion, etc are absolutely timeless. The production values have gotten higher but in terms of composition it's been this good the whole damn ride imo. (and part of me kinda misses the 'dude in his garage' quality to some older tracks tbh lol)
@@imptwins im yet to stop loving original Ultima theme and absolutely every piece composed for SB.
This is composed by Nobuo Uematsu and arranged by Takafumi Imamura :)
Also known as "Yaaaaarrrgh!!!" EX to my Praetorium friends.
The black wolf stalks again is a song name that's rad as fuck
This slap's harder than rex's funeral cost
Bruh XD
That's assuming the empire would give him a funeral at all. He is considered one of the savage races after all.
That awkward moment when you think this was a genshin impact reference kill me 🤣
@@saskias.9285 It fits though.
I spat my tea out
This has Iron-Blooded Orphans written ALL over it.
I dig it.
Funnily enough, someone said the entire trial story was an IBO reference to some degree. Or at least in some cases.
@@RedSharkPup Very much has Gundam/Mecha influence everywhere in this trial series.
Yoshi-P has openly copped to being a gigantic Gundam fan.
Honestly, Emerald reminds me of a few of Zeon's mobile armors.
@@steelgriffin7716 It looks almost exactly like Kshatriya NZ-666 without legs
This has a such a Crisis Core vibe to it, I love it
Sounds like it's right outta a Shin Megami Tensei game
It does, holy shit. That's what I thought when I first heard it, especially 1:18
It sounds like Digital Devil Saga. That is not a bad thing.
@@Ashvoreth Oh I mean it with praise! I love SMT's OST
@@Ashvoreth I'm so happy someone else thought so too! PS2-era Meguro was fantastic and I loved the prog rock in DDS1.
yeah! i get a nocturne/dds/smt 4 mix from it
2:58 I love that drop. So good 🔥
Castlevania vibes
I love how slow this theme is for the most part, really adds this sense of weight to it. And oh my gosh, the guitar solo at 2:38, fwoooooooh. Mighty Sexy(tm).
Wow, how did Square get their hands on SMTV’s OST so early?
I'M GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HEARS THAT
THIS SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING STRAIGHT OUT OF DIGITAL DEVIL SAGA
“Alrighty then” translates to “wtf just happened” in healer lol 😂
Crazy how this theme is just the Empire theme but remix, its soo good!
No one can deflect the Emerald Splash!
Such a fun extreme fight. This expac’s chronicles of a new era are the best so far
How is this and the Matoya's Relict theme from the same patch? How do my music tastes extend to completely loving both of them? How is this so good??? I about swooned when I heard that intro guitar.
Edit: Productivity levels are soaring; this is now my official study song.
Because Masayoshi Soken is a mad genius.
@@smward87 this track was actually done by Takafumi Imamura, not Soken specifically.
0:22 - 0:41 Secrets Sleeping in the Deep Sea (submarine theme) from FFVII. Absolutely banger remix of the chillest song on the VII OST.
I like to imagine some random garlean soldier in the background just shredding it on the guitar
Gaius' policy was to have a Doof Warrior follow him around like Mad Max: Fury Road.
Was expecting Rhitahtyn EX, got Gaius EX instead.
Ritalin isn't a Legatus, so he wouldn't be used. Livia only had her data used because it was for a prototype.
@@TheAzulmagia Where did Livia have her data used?
@@TheAzulmagia She didn't. Ruby's is based off Nael from 1.0 / Coils
@@TheAzulmagia Ruby was Nael(Eula) not Livia.
Livia's data was used in the one Estinien fought in a cutscene.
When a song is so good that everyone is trying to claim it as from their favorite ost xP
3:01 isn't that.. the bassline for Maybe I'm a Lion (the Black Mages one)? Holy shit.
I’m getting some serious Digital Devil Saga vibes from this, and it’s great.
That synth is so spooky ♥ ♥ ♥
Damn the guitar parts sound straight out of Digital Devil Saga 1. Definitely looking forward to getting that mount lol
I get more of a Guilty Gear vibe from the music personally.
Great song, great fight. Really satisfying to get all the movements right.
I love how, in contrast to the Ruby Weapon playing into Evangelion-style techno-organic horror, the Emerald Weapon goes for the Gundam angle of a Newtype going absolutely bonkers.
Aire Tam Storm in ff7 be like:
No materia, lucky. More materia, make your own will and testament
Rex be like "BEAR WITNESS TO THE GLORY OF THIS SOUNDTRACK"
Man next fight is with crazy zeno oversoul 😵
And I honestly hope we get to do it in the mech too.
About that one
This OST gives me major Ace Combat vibes and I love it.
frickin gooooosebumps! this trial is sooo awesome
I never thought an ffxiv boss theme could ever be so SEXY
I don’t understand how there were so many deaths in one video to the same mechs but the music is probably the best so far from the weapons / an extreme
Because PUG on Patch Day is something special xD
Finally, the fucking jam I've been waiting for all patch. This is it, this is the one.
If you've seen the light, you should probably fight.... ITS THE ADVENTURE ZONE!
I like how this has just enough musical cues to evoke FFVII without outright quoting it.
AKA The Return of Golden Form Gaius
oh yeah, this slaps
How crazy is it that this is optional side content?
It's just so nuts.
I got Crisis Core vibes from this, like I can almost hear the typical Crisis Core gameplay sounds paired with this music.
The perfect boss battle doesn’t exi-
I was not expecting this level of funk.
So, this is basically Shin Megami Tensei's "Hunting" theme mixed with Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-'s "Holy Orders III" on a Final Fantasy twist. I LOVE IT.
Suddenly Digital Devil Saga
I guess fighting The Emerald Weapon is a Mission Impossible
Low key waited for Fred Durst rapping
"The Hunters" from the FFXV soundtrack has a very similar composition to the intro of this song.
i'm here for this Part 2:56
This part at 2:16 just hit perfectly with the music.
The guitars remind me at first of Hammerhead theme in FFXV. I like this
I got FFXV vibes from the start of this song too
Beginning reminds me a lot of Digital Devil Saga.
1:17. I'm waiting " impossible mission" theme
Dude really stopped healing the DRK, making him invul, then stopped healing him before it stopped LD so he could res the other healer, then immediately had to res the DRK because he didnt feel like using his oGCDs to stop the DRK from dying in the first place.
Healers really are galaxy brain lmao
"Oh dear"
@1:32
Ironically, I find this mechanic harder on normal mode, than EX. By making them invisible with thin line markers in EX, you can calmly follow the mechanic. Not so with normal mode's massive, overlapping orange lines, that could cause you to panic at first sight and fuck it up
me too, the only thing that make it more tolerable than ex mode is that it has much simplier pattern
Gaius is basically Punished Snake at this point.
Metal gear solid 5 references?
Who else is reminded of FF Type-0 with this theme?
3:45 Digital Devil Saga is that you?
Reminds me of Crisis Core...
Man CC needs more love
Seriously, the music sounds very inspired by CC... but it isn't a remake of a song at what I could find :(
@@krissb.2553 it is a remix of one of the garlean themes from ffxiv, forget the exact name though. The boss bases its attack patterns off gaius after all.
@@seandumonsau3826 Imperial Will, the initial song of all things Garlemald.
yeah, the guitar is very reminiscent of CC
Ok now I need someone to post a super HQ version where you can feel the bass in your ears like they do for some electronica.
Who got Guilty Gear in my FFXIV?
I don’t know, but they deserve a medal
best song in the entire game
I lost it when it all came back in at 3:03
Such an epic theme
They didnt need to go this hard on the music
This is Final Fantasy 14 my friend they always go hard on the music
4:57 the timing of that dancer dying tho--
2:37 love that part
agreed!
master class with the healers that run
There's even a bit of Castlevania in this theme.
That Bloody Tears-esque rhythm bit, huh? I was thinking the same heh.
That hud is so smart, i always struggle to remember with my macros which person is what number..
Okay, I wasn't expecting this Oversoul until Diamond Weapon...
So that means... Diamond Weapon's Oversoul is Varis?
Also, maaaan, poor Gaius. I cannot imagine how is it like to see your foster children sacrificing themselves for the recreation of the past self of you that has caused so much suffering into Eorzea (even tho Gaius was mild in comparison to other Legatus).
ZENOS
@@GhostWulf70792 Sir/Lady/Gilgamesh, we will have more Zenos in the next expac apparently lmao.
@@thatoneeco I'm a dude. But you know Yoshi P loves to shove that Zenos right down our throats. We are gonna see him twice. Once in the Diamond Weapon Oversoul. And again in the MSQ. It will never end Stormblood is eternal.
Im expecting Oversoul Zenos
@@etherium8017 Oversoul Zenos. I can imagine even the Dimaond Weapon Core just ripping itself apart due not being able to keep up with the amount of energy it would need to produce to make Zenos manifest. Similar to when Elidibus made that Zenos Clone.
Gaius gets a remixed theme, Emperor Varus does not :(
never thought I would see FFXIV sample both Mission Impossible and Castlevania in the same song lol
Gaius: I... I don't know whether to be offended or... Amazed
This one have some legend of dragoon vibe. I like it !
1:18 Ginza theme from Shin Megami Tensei.
Oooh nice catch
Hopefully diamond weapon next will be good
Giving me Quake II vibes.
It... sounds almost exactly like one of Legend of Dragoon's boss themes.
Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like it's straight out of Yakuza 0? I'm hearing some Pledge of Demon.
