Ah sweet, MAN MADE HORRORS BEYOND COMPREHENSION
Idk man these horrors are well in my comprehension range, maybe it's a skill issue kinda deal huh
Aka LAHABRAEAH, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?
Soken casually reminding us he is one out of 11 industrial music enthusiasts that still exist in 2023.
What are the others? i need to know, this is top 10 for me from 14!!!
Ah yes, people often comment that he's a primal, but really he's a member of the convocation of 11.
Nah the team that makes music for dmc does. This song sounds like a devil may cry boss theme and i love
@@dkhopkinsgaming1348 Oh, it goes further back than that. Look up some work by Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly, Chemlab, VNV Nation, gosh I could go on...but I love that Soken wears the influences on his sleeve.
@Bunnychan Farabee no i believe dmc is more of one. People who are making ff16 combat is the team that made dmc 5 combat.
I love the little story telling in this phase him trying to bring back his wife and only when u make the phoenix and come back from the dead he starts his enrage like was using u as a labrat to create the answer for him
Lahabrea invented the concept of the phoenix before we fight him here. We fight it in Asphodelos gate 3, in fact. It's a neat theory but his problem is larger than that. An immortally reviving bird does not solve the issue of returning a soul from the life stream with its memories intact.
@@deciett He invented the concept but he did not perfect it. That's why the phoinix in p3s was a 'violent, failed iteration' of what would become the real Phoenix. The savage fight in p8s is just us showing what a true concept of the phoenix would be, which is why he expresses glee in seeing it happen and tests it's compatibility by immediately casting enrage on us a few seconds after to see if we actually achieved what he could not.
@@untrustingstatue The Phoinix was failed and violent because of an accident at the time of its creation that gave it a human soul. Realising itself and what it was, all it could do was destroy due to the resulting insanity, so Emet-Selch was called in to defeat it so the Keywardens could even lock it up in the first place, since it was just that powerful. Until then, or even since, no concept, even a familiar, was capable of housing a soul in the genuine sense, which is also why the Ancients didn't see familiars as anything other than disposable.
@@untrustingstatue I dont remember but if my memory serves correct, it was said that Lahabrea later on succeeded with the creation of the one we all know of: our Phoenix, the Phoinix was just his first attempt, a prototype so to speak. Think it was said in Abyssos or somewhere, not sure tho. But either way, I adore the visual storytelling of P8S.
@@deciett thing is it was flawed. We perfect it for him here
Someone in the XIV team REALLY likes Capcom games
Ikr, my friend and I also thought the same, abyssos especially feels so resident evil.
@@stars-and-clouds Castlevania II -> REsident Evil II -> Silent Hill II >:D
this boss and its arena are on some warhammer 40k shit
this is warp fuckery 100% and the boss is legit something tzeentch would make a man into
To the point where they hired DMC 5 combat director for FF16 XD
Fighting the Resident Evil Enemy with DMC music in ff14, good times
Bit of trivia, Devil May Cry started off as Resident Evil 4.
@@TheEmperorHyperion Haunting Ground also started off as Resident Evil 4.
@@dannywolfpero Resident Evil 4 was the games we made along the way.
that dragoon backflip at 7:58 is the most crazy confident thing i've ever seen in this game
he's doin it like in the last moment before wipe 😭
and also the most pointless, they would lose 0 uptime and drift no cds just walking up to the thing
@@AmeliaKusinska He clearly forgot the mechanic or was absorbed/tunnel vision with his DPS, his backflip was done to resolve the mechanic. Since the mechanic was about to go off, there was NO WAY he'd make it "by just walking up to the thing" ; therefore, his jump was well timed despite the mistake he WAS ABOUT to do. Now sit down. DRG are the best class, don't @ me
@@Yokai_Yuri I wont @ you, im a drg main, the move was just really stupid if it wasn't a last second save like you say
calm down@@Yokai_Yuri
Hephaistos: uses ultimate attack
WOL: imagines a phoenix
“Sadly I was killed…. BUT I LIVED “
"Imagine(ing) Dragons led to the near destruction of Eorzea, let's try something else"
"Reports of my death were greatly exaggerated"
You thought killing me would kill me? - Anos WOLdigoad, probably
B-But wait! I thought people died when they are killed!
Hephaistos: Didn’t I kill you?
WoL: I got better.
I love how you win and your character does the happy ear-wiggle and it just... pans on the eldritch hellscape you're floating in. Like... how do you leave?
(Like every Savage encounter, it's all just a dream)
Savage has always canonically been fanfiction, plus we'd still presumably be somewhere in Pandemonium, so it'd be a "Eldibus come pick me up I'm scared"
I know savage is canonical fanfiction, but the mental image of the character looking out into whatever THAT is and going from "yeah, we won!" To "...how do I leave? Where's the door? Elidibus this party got weird please come pick me up" is still hilarious.
Very carefully.
↕️Return↕️ 😝
The tears coming out from Lahabrea’s mask turning into nerves running down Hephaistos’ hood is still the coolest goddamn visual in this game. CBU3’s enemy design team popped off so hard this patch between this and the Four Fiends redesigns.
It gives me flashbacks of Hades summoning masks, only for them to be merged with his wings during the phase change in the Hades trials.
Only so much more unsettling and cooler.
Neo Exdeath pulling himself into the void from the light, and the way the Light/Shadows look on the ground is also very cool.
Right? Like, I thought the second boss in Vanaspati was disturbing, but this and the one from P7 are something else.
And it's at this point that we must ask... _what are they going to throw at us for the last part of this storyline?_
It has a very resident evil vibe to it.
Tier 1:
"So, Lahabrea is experimenting with... Turning the Ancients into cool vampires? Eh, don't see the problem frankly"
Tier 2:
"SEVEN HELLS PLEASE MAKE IT STOP"
Tier 3:
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.
The SMN summoning Phoenix right as everyone got the Phoenix buff is a poetic coincidence xD
Can you believe this video is now 1% shorter? Dang.
It was longer in August 2022, but congrats.
The salt lmao
@@kaffka4753 its a meme.
Hey, just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS (P8S was harder in August) on the Abyssos: Eighth Circle Savage (P8S was harder in August) CLEAR. I know you've been working really hard (this fight used to be harder in August) at it, and I'm happy that you've (the 1 extra week of gear made you clear) achieved your goal of completion. I know your journey through (datamined mechanics made this easy) the content was filled with ups and downs, but you and (used to be harder in August) your group stuck (dps check was made possible due to 1 extra week) together through them all, and you were rewarded for your patience and (P8S was harder in August) tenacity. Congratulations (P8S was harder in August) once again, and here's to more success in your future (P8S was way harder in August) endeavors!!!
@@kaffka4753 What salt, exactly?
But Hespheistos is violating the FIRST RULE of alchemy. Thou shalt not try to bringeth back ye dead. Do thus, and thou shalt be sorry.
I have seen enough Full Metal Alchemist to see where this is going.
It's clever bits like this that make me fall in love with FFXIV over and over again. Thank you for this LOL
I mean he's already done the dog daughter thing.
@@Reynsoon to varying degrees of success.
Athena crossed any ethical boundaries long long ago when she created/learned soul magic
This fight gave off huge Hojo/Jenova/Sephiroth Vibes with that transition and the Plaguelike/Virus floating amidst the background. Especially considering where this is leading storywise with everything Lahabrea has been up to, oh and you know, Ericthonios seeking *Mother*.
After reading this i cant unsee it xd.
I legit think they're going down the Jenova route here and I love how people laugh at me for even considering it. But from what we've seen, the implications are too strong to ignore. The devs did make use of creative freedom in the past when implementing content from the other games, so I assume Athena (or what is left of her) might become Jenova in the final raid tier. The translation of the name Jenova, "New God(dess)", speaks for that. Athena wanted to play god and maybe she was/will be successful with becoming one, in her own twisted way. Maybe through a fusion?
Hadn't thought of this before but that seems entirely possible. Even Hephaistos starting the fight with "How I long for our reunion" hints at it. And adding to what Hudomi mentioned above, all of the ancient's names are Greek gods, so it kind of makes a thematic kind of sense that, now they're all gone we fight Jenova, the "New God(dess)".
nah the insane transformation the weird eyes and other space look to the background
this is warhammer 40k warp fuckery
the boss is legit some tzeentch level shit and that background is absolutely some warp horrors
@@Nomadic_Gaming he's very... Resident Evil too lol
coming back to this after p12 hits different
Erichtonios really has the most terrifying parents of all time
Phase 1 theme: Upbeat "you're at the end" type of boss theme
Phase 2 theme: *pray*
Not often this kind of switcheroo happens, I notice. Can't say I'm complaining, just makes this song hit all the harder.
This really sounds like something from Devil May Cry, I love it.
Yeah I hear it, specifically DMC4 with the angelic overtones and the demonic undertones in the lyrics.
close enough it definitely missing that easy-to-singalong lyric like in vergil or nero theme, or even MGR xD
@@haleynaga5671 that's only 5 lmao, 3 and 4 had music much closer to this
@@sirpantaloonsify Easy to sing along Vergil lyrics could also be in 3 as well as 5.
We ARE dealing with an unavailable father who split his emotional half from himself...
The classic move of making us fight a boss that could easily have been the final boss of his own game mid-tier. Oh, how I love it.
The mid tier final bosses always have that "absolute finale-vibe" to them, and I love it!
@@Lyu-Phy Not really.
Binding Coil we had Nael from t9 yet Phoenix and Bahamut gave more final boss vibes.
Alexander Midas: We had Brute justice/Winged. It looked like Alexander's child, nothing more. Alexander was the one giving the final boss vibes
Sigmascape: Kefka did amazingly a the god tier villain he is, but next to Omega he falls short. Omega was well Omega the true final boss.
Edenverse: Shiva didn't feel like a final boss.
Endwalker: So far Hephaistos feel like a final boss but I am sure the next boss will be more threatening
@@Yokai_Yuri Shiva absolutely felt like a final boss, wdym? It was literally risking another Flood of Light and undoing everything we spent the entire MSQ working our butts off for, and at that point we weren't aware of Eden's true nature.
@@Yokai_Yuri Nael literally was the final boss from 1.0, and her fight was 20x more complex than Bahamut's ever was.
Brute Justice also was 20x more complex than Alex Prime, to the point that A8S is called a proto-Ultimate in its sheer difficulty and complexity.
Shiva also was a better fight with better music than Gaia's copy-pasted presentation and mechanics were. Doubly so since Shiva's fight was a better fight against "Hydaelyn" than Hydaelyn herself was.
And now Hephaistos literally is the ending to the Pandaemonium plotline in the past, with the third tier being far removed into the present day, ages after the 1-8 fights.
@@Can_O_Crayola Shiva was a really, really great fight. Her add phase alone is still the most complex adds we've had in years, and it helps that she's the last finale we've had that has been one continuous fight, no checkpoints.
Funny how this and Hic Svent Leones both had one or two verses we understood perfectly without debate (“Here in The Valley your death casts no shadow” and “Shadows shifting paradigm”), and then the rest was a total clusterfuck
Saw the Primals play this live at Fanfest 2023, and it FUCKING SLAPPED.
I was there!!! It's so different with Koji Fox going full-on, loved it
Same here that concert was amazing!
one of these days man ill get to see them live
I hope they release official lyrics soon to sing along!
@@unproxvgood news! the primals cover has the lyrics in the captions
"Silence..... Brings violence.... Violence.... Swearing to silence"

Official Lyrics Dropped for the song!
Silence, warning us to violence
Violence, swearing us to silence
Black mark payback, marking time
With a stone of white do we mark up the night
Shadows shifting, paradigm

Roughshod riding, overdrive
Tilting windmills wicked, wandering blind

All the rotten grist on which I dine
You're missing a chunk of lyrics
I'm not, thats literally all the lyrics to the song from the music video. The song is just repeating all these words endlessly@@Mewla_Aliapoh
@DarthXelion You're missing the lyrics from 1:04 to 1:17 and the reason is because the Primals CC didn't have them either. But you know they're there because you can hear them and you know what they are because they're repeated later.
Roughshod riding, overdrive

I didn't add them because the lyrics are just repeated endlessly in the song. If you have a problem post your own. I'm just taking it directly from the music video. I know their there, but adding them would just be bloat.@@Mewla_Aliapoh
@@DarthXelion In that case the lyrics are in the wrong order
Love can be ugly.
Admittedly I don't have the time or interest right now to play the hardest content this game offers, but man if the tunes aren't rockin, even if they are more chill like this one.
If there’s one thing you can always rely on FF14 for, it’s banger music like this.
That and horny catgirls
It's more a time thing than interest believe me.
@@Yokai_Yuri Time and sheer commitment. It can be frustrating at times and then thoughts like throwing it alltogether occur.. yeah it's rough but can be so rewarding.
i wasn't expecting a savage original theme to have lyrics for once, but here we are
Closest we've gotten before was the vocalizations in O12S p2.
@@trustytrest even with vocals, it had no proper lyrics until the Eorsean Symphony edition dropped.
A Resident Evil boss with Devil May Cry music. I didn't realize there was another Capcom collab
They really gave him a Birkin eyeball and didn't make it targetable, huh? Missed opportunity lol
Yoshida: so the idea of this savage fight is Hephaistos going berserk in how much he misses Athena and figuring out how to create Phoenix for the first time.
Soken: okay, cool
Yoshida: and this is what the design looks like
Soken:
Yoshida:
Soken: I have the perfect fucking idea for a beat.
Hearing this at Fanfest was great.
This was such a treat for prog. I'd avoided listening to it before my static hit phase 2 for the first time and I'm glad I did. Loved it far more than P4S P2.
Also the 1% nerf to health is the specific reason we cleared, we run 2 casters 2 melee, and got our first kill while enrage went off. Two people died to the enrage cast and we killed it as it faded out.
I swear I hear "now you've really crossed the line" somewhere in here. DMC3 vibes.
I get a bit of a Parasite Eve meets DMC vibe from this theme, love every minute of it.
That's what I was thinking. Kinda reminded me of the Ultimate Being music from PE1
SWORDTRICKSWORDTRICKGUNSWORD-
ROYAL GUARD
ARE YA READY
COME AND GET ME
GET SET.
Wohooo
This looks like a bayonetta mixed with resident evil endboss enemy perfectly mixed with dmc music
"Mom can we get William Birkin?"
"No, we have William Birkin in FF XIV."
*William Birkin in FF XIV*
Gotta give it to Soken for this. I don't listen to this genre of music but I can say this is my favourite track for this tier.
Imagine THIS would be the second phase of Lahabrea in the ARR
This quickly went from Final Fantasy to Resident Evil
Hephaistos straight up became Birkin
Jenova type stuff immediately springs to mind.
I love this OST and boss....very Lovecraftian......love the Lovecraft stories and Old Gods/entities......and this song go SO WELL with him
Gives me Jenova vibes which is heavily inspired by Lovecraft!
As a Bloodborne player, I absolutely love this eldritch boss fight
0:26-0:37 is super underrated and should be longer in the track
the bass beat is almost like a heart beat.
Surprised how not many people point this out - especially on certain headphones where it really starts sounding like it's pounding heavily.
Lyrics to the song:
Silence born into violence
Violence swearing to silence
Silence leads to violence
Violence swearing to silence
Clutch almighty, hold on tight
To begin new thinking, wandering mind
Memory slowly, blinding white
Power unto this stone we shall pray
Black-bound infinite, mocking time
When the sun rose up, do we long for the night
Shadows shifting, and we die
To the land behind, we pay no mind
Clutch almighty, hold on tight
To begin new thinking, wandering wide
Memory slowly, blinding white
Power unto this stone we shall pray
Black-bound infinite, mocking time
When the sun rose up, do we long for the night
Shadows shifting, and we die
To the land behind, we pay no mind
Clutch almighty, hold on tight
To begin new thinking, wandering wide
Memory slowly, blinding white
Power unto this stone we shall pray
Black-bound infinite, mocking time
When the sun rose up, do we long for the night
Shadows shifting, and we die
To the land behind, we pay no mind
Clutch almighty, hold on tight
To begin new thinking, wandering wide
Memory slowly, blinding white
Power unto this stone we shall pray
Silence
Violence
Silence
Violence
Black-bound infinite, mocking time
When the sun rose up, do we long for the night
Shadows shifting, and we die
To the land behind, we pay no mind
After a lot of repeated listening, I think there are a few things these lyrics have wrong.
To begin new thinking, wandering wide -> To begin new thinking, wandering mind (While the voices are a distorted, making it hard to hear, the song is about knowledge not adventure, so a wandering mind seems much more appropriate)
Power unto this stone we shall pray -> Power unto this stone we shall bind (Refering to white auracite and the crystals that the Ancients used to store information, we bind things to them not pray)
Black-bound infinite, mocking time -> Black-bound demon, mocking time (The first chorus is distorted on the word "demon" but the second chorus with the less metal sounding voice is clearly not saying "infinite". Additionally Abyssos has demons as a theme, such as the gate song "Where Dæmons Abide". Thirdly, in literature dealing with demons and acquiring knowledge from them it's a common theme to bind them.)
Shadows shifting, and we die -> Shadow shifting pa-ra-digm (A paradigm shift is a fundamental change in approach or underlying assumptions; something that would occur after having gained knowledge from a demon.)
What the fuck are these lyrics
Sounds like "power unto crystal we shall pray"
we've now got official lyrics in the captions for the primals cover of it!
This ended up being wildly different from what the official lyrics were. But I'm not gonna lie, these lines were still absolute fire.
This was the best Boss intro I've ever seen in my entire life.
Wait have you seen Ifrit in FF 15? He’s just chilling on his throne it’s incredible
By far and it's not even close. Altho Ifrit is very good as well I have to give you that @Saeedsc
It’s a shame a lot of players who don’t do savage may never even know this track exists.
Eh, I wouldn't be so sure.
Especially since its Orchestrion Roll exists _and_ can be bought off the Market Board.

3:01, why hello there Hello, World.
i was thinking the exact same thing. I wonder if we'll have a goodbye world-like strat in 7.0
@@carlos-zy7vx Arena has a death barrier instead of a cliff. Plus you actually need the debuffs to survive the false enrage. So everyone has to be up and at em, plus Healer LB3 will revive inside the barrier and just, kill again.
@@carlos-zy7vx you cant goodbye world it. You need certain elements to solve the tower mechanics
Just got here with my static late into the tier (so happy) and while I read up on mechanics, I didn't spoil the transition or music until we all got there. Such a banger and an awesome track to wrap up the tier with!
I cant be the only one that thought this bosses design is something straight outta Soul Sacrifice and thats pretty kickass.
How long it takes to explain and ready somebody for attempts on p8s: 30 minutes.
Fight duration: 8ish minutes.
It has been 1 year since this game peaked.
We finally have official lyrics for this
Silence, warning us to violence
Violence, swearing us to silence
Silence, warning us to violence

8:00 Damn that was a scary close Elusive Jump
The phrase you're looking for is "calculated"
The second phase bgm we needed!
Damn this hits different I can't wait to get to this fight. Upset I started this tier so late XD
Same bruv
One of the best battle OST, I love it so much :D
It was awesome hearing the PRIMALS rendition with Koji at the vocals at the FanFest. Very awesome! It was one of those neat surprises. :)
This has Takafumi Imamura all over it, I'd be absolutely surprised if this song wasn't by him. Also those secondary vocals are 100% Shootie HG, he has worked on a bunch of FF games going back to XIII-2 Crazy Chocobo. Also did some DMC.
My guess for the vocals is Koji
@@RonoroaDSanji Sorry, I didn't mean the main vocals. There's another singer that you hear further into the background at times. I meant to originally clarify that but obviously forgot to type it. Go to 4:00. You can hear the main vocals in the front, but there's Shootie style singing behind it.
@@Gravijahz i didn't mean the main vocals either
@@RonoroaDSanji probably Soken being a gremlin with the microphone
@@Gravijahz Those sound very Koji-like actually. I know Shootie HG has that style but considering Soken shared on Twitter an image of them recording Scream in the studio with Koji there in the photo too I wouldn't be surprised it is because they had him there to do White Stone Black (though it could also just be because he was directing the singer because English lyrics).
According to TH-cam recap this was the song/video I listened to the most :D
So true bestie!
me too
Reminds me of Brisela, Voice of Nightmares from MTG. If I didn't know better, I'd say Emrakul's influence knows no bounds.
😮oh shit, as someone who played ffxiv at this tier and play mtg now, I see it!
Awesome that it includes the transition. So crazy
You know it just occurred to me while I was high this song is actually really good on loop for prog since it’s like a lofi with a good upbeat so you won’t get to tired from it
You gotta imagine that they had a LOT of fun designing that giant pile of whattheactualfuckery we fought in Savage mode.
Song rules, but can we talk about this boss design?! Holy shit.
Biblically accurate Ascian Prime
What is it with 8S encounters always having fucked up winged creatures for their final phase? For real though the design goes so hard
official lyrics for White Stone Black are out now, and its nowhere close what people assumed lol;

This track bangs so damn hard.
Black angel wings? check, seeking "mother"? check, very alien design? check. The music here is so good as well
Ego Death is his enrage cast. Theres literally no way to survive besides rebirth. Its wicked fucking cool.
Even in 7.0, people will still have to do the first half of both phases and their mechanics. 9999999 damage for failure on most things.
u need to create his "ultimate" phoenix concept from the DNA he shares with you so that u wont wipe to first ego death.
The RE2 x FF collab nobody knew was coming. William Birkin is the One-Armed Angel.
We had Dracula from Castlevania for Circle 4 and now William Brikini from Resident Evil for Circle 8. Who are we getting for Circle 12?
Wesker obviously or maybe his sister(cuz Athena)
Maybe some Silent Hill reference to complete the spoopy Japanese game trifecta?
@@jacobkern2060 ah yes, perfect! P12S will just turn into a Shiba inu with a control panel of horrifically brutal AOE attacks.
Eve, from Parasite Eve seems right
Thanks for including the transition! Banger music once again by soken!
His arm is straight up some t-virus shit
Shit like this is why i think ff16 is going to have a second act breakdown where the entire world just starts breaking apart once the revenge plot wraps up in a too clean bow. YoshiP seems intent on really driving home what he started in shadowbringers with the sin eater transformation and just how screwed up the situation was in the Thavnair dungeon. And given how much he wants it to be a mature rating were going to see just how much theyre going to push absolutely screwed up character designs like this.
Especially since he clarified it's rated M for the "story he wants to tell", not just for nudity/gore
If the game is full of this, I’m gonna have to grab a copy!
We can do it devs! We can reach the Cthulhu type of design! It's... so... close!
Is it wrong to refer to High Concept 2 as "Build-a-Bird Workshop"?
>"With a stone of white do we mark up the night"
>"White stone black" as the title
Holy shit they were warning us about the naturally white auracite and the black stone Auracite Heart of Sabik and its connection to Lahabrea as early as Abyssos, we just didn't know it until now
I must be hearing things, but I swear I'm hearing the little dragon quest sound for whenever you cast a spell. It pops up every once in a while.
The song title reminds me of one of the processes to make a philosopher stone in ancient alchemy. The white stone mixed with the black stone to creat the red stone, the perfect material. The magnum opus. Which also reminds me of red mage and itçs mix of white and black magic to make, well, red magic
Likely is a reference to what you're talking about, given the main story of this non Canon version of the fight is Hephaistos trying to create a perfect phoenix to revive Athena, and you end up creating it during High Concept 2, reviving you from death.
Apparently the title is a literal translation of the Japanese term for the "White Auracite". Said white auracite being translated as "the Heart of Sabik" in the English localization.
Ahh now this makes sense Hephaistos in Greek Mythology is supposed to be hideous and crooked. He is also the Smith of the gods, a god that knows how to forge with Fire.
Ah yes. Another song to add to my DRK Xaela playlist

4. Clutch almighty, hold on tight,
To begin new thinking, wondering "why"?
Memory slowly rising high,
Power unto this stone we shall bind!"
(3. and 4. repeat)
(3. repeats)
The lyrics are really deep
What are they? I can't make them out
my most watched video so far this year. only listening music on youtube. not bad for a almost 10 min vid
What genre is this because holy shit I need more
industrial
Me again. I just realized that this is less a fight and more just weaponized alchemy lol
Even without the visuals/boss, the song makes you feel...uncomfortable. like something isn't quite right at all, it almost sounds twisted and morphed into some kind of monster. Along with that, the lyrics (in tone, I can't exactly peice together words), kinda feel like this "I'm deeply saddened and this is what I have to do."
Speaking of the lyrics, the way you can't exactly tell what they are kinda feels like another aspect of the transformation he underwent. You can almost, just slightly, make out what it's SUPPOSED to be, but it isn't. Not anymore.
DMC3 OST vibes
this song absolutely fucks, absolute banger
Makes me want to take up Savage so I can get the Orchestrion
Just become a Savage crafter and get it off the MB
yeah do it raiding is fun.
^agreed, its fun
@@violentincantation only if you have enough people that you are cool with to do the fights unlike me
or unable to swiftly learn mechanics like me :p
I like how generic the ascians were back then. Lahabrea was a Tancreed clone Elidibus was an Adbert clone.
Now they have all these interesting designs.
I have the feeling that Lahabrea and Elidibus' spirits are going to show up in the Aitiascope in modern day to end Pandaemonium's plot.
It'd be really nice to speak to Elidibus again with him having remembered our friendship from the past.
@@justinlee790 Isn't Elidibus' soul in the aetherial sea of the First though?
@@Peldms63 That's fair. I'm sure the writers could come up with an excuse if they wanted to though.
I just want ny boy emet to return and be a permanent oarty member
@@Peldms63 You could say the same for Emet-Selch, yet he showed up in the Source aware of everything that was happening.
I love how this is recommended to me in October as Halloween draws near. As the visual image of some helpless guy suddenly becomes a mega mutated abomination from Silent Hill. Stunning.
Not really helpless, since he underwent that transformation willingly, insofar as I can tell.
@@Skijaramaz oh okay, yeah I don’t play ffxiv anymore so I really have no idea on the backstories of these new raid bosses.
@@kalmage136 Short version: In the past before the Ascians were Ascians, Lahabrea's wife Athena turned out to be no bueno, and so he cut away the part of his soul and mind that would be tempted by her ambissions and sealed it away. This became Hephaistos, the fugly dude you see at the start of this video, who is trying to find a wonky way to resurrect Athena. He broke free of his fetters and took control of the prison and research facility known as Pandaemonium, using the former researchers as test subjects for his goals. This wonky-ass transformation we see here is exclusive to Savage, and so not canon, albeit it is based on an actual ability ancient Ascians possessed to 'Transform' themselves using a fuckton of Aether, allowing them to do things they normally couldn't. It is typically viewed as a taboo to do this, though - not that Hephaitstos cares.
Hephaistos does absolutely shapeshift into a weird Ultima Weapon looking squidge monster and a buff dude with a snake coming out of his spine over the course of the normal fight, though. It is all quite distressing.
Can I just point out how the torso of Hephaistos turns into an enlarged strand of DNA? This only serves to magnify my fear as I gaze upon this perfectly imperfect form.
Edit: After looking away from Hephaistos and at the fight's mechanics themselves, I now realize that I could probably never do this, even in a static with practice.
Don’t beat yourself up like that man, with the right attitude and mentality I’m sure everyone can clear fights like this, it’s all part of the fun pushing yourself to new heights and if it’s not for you, just sit back and chill! Nothing wrong with a break between learning a fight!
Gotta have confidence in yourself. I started Savage raiding in 6.2 when even Extreme fights looked too hard and scary. Now I'm BiS rocking the mount on-tier. It's just a matter of slowly learning the fight, anyone can do it.
(Fun fact, this is also considered to be the easier part. Part 1 is harder mechanically due to RNG order of mechs)
Dude
That sprite hits DIFFERENT
Its very much a classic ff thing but its really sealing just how WRONG hephaistos is
Grats on the clear Uvi
