Hope we get a proper Dark Messenger in 1 of the raid fights, I would love to fight Trance Kuja, or it being the last fight where you first fight Kuja and then he trances and goes into Trance Kuja with Dark Messenger banging in the background.
First GNB gets Monado as Manderville Relic and now an entire Story Trial that looks like the Xenoblade C2 Final Boss and the music also sounding kinda similar. Love it 😋
I'm looking forward to the EX version just for the chance at NOT seeing Wuk come in and circumvent any personal accomplishment the WoL could have finally contributed to the plot.
@@whodistoodisthis is such a weird take i’m begging you to try and look for a second at the fact that we’ve literally been the main character for 5 expacs LMAO

You literally can't win with some people. Athena yells "TREMBULLL!" like a mustache-twirling Saturday morning cartoon villain, and Wuk Lamat doesn't yell "SPHEEENE!" loud enough.
TREMBULLL was amazing, though. Wuk Lamat in this scene had to have been a spectacular failure of voice direction, or spliced in from a different scene or asked to record the lines without context to avoid spoilers or _something._ She doesn't raise her voice at _all._ Not when she's breaking through a distortion shouting a dynamic entry, not when she's getting crushed under a giant hand, not when she's desperately pleading for her only friend to remember herself. _No_ voice actor messes up _that_ bad without a lot of help.
@teisen1895 I mean, I sure as hell was since the beginning of the game lol if you were there then you'd notice a massive difference between pre-EW and EW. Before EW we were super rare and then boom after EW they're everywhere and everyone is playing one
Dear lord, I hate Wuk Lamat so much. I can't believe they managed to make an already weak expansion's central character, who is debatably more important then the player themselves, such a staggeringly agitating and mary sue -esque mess, who couldn't just keep to herself and let us have a moment even at the very end. Uhg.
@@LordRoto Well, forgive me for caring about the narrative integrity of a game I've put a decade of my life into. I don't apologize for expecting excellence from a studio who has clearly demonstrated that they are capable of it, and I don't apologize for my vitriol towards the slop of Dawntrail. Sorry I'm not able to turn my brain off and just enjoy the bright lights and pretty colors, but FFXIV can and should be great as it has shown us it can be, and complacency towards it's current state will not lead to that improvement.
Tell me you only started paying attention to the plot during Shadowbringers without telling me you only started paying attention to the plot during Shadowbringers. 😂 Every other expac besides ShB and EW the WoL isn't the character driving the plot forward, us reacting to foreign political leaders and getting swept up in their antics is like 85% of the game that isn't Ascians or Allegans. IMO Dawntrail was a good way to reset the scope of the story and bring in a BUNCH of new lore/characters while not falling into the pitfall of having our Extremely Overpowered Player Character feel like they got nerfed.
@@xXkrazykitsuneXx As much as I find your assertion of me, as a ten-year player whos been through the MSQ several times, mildly irksome, I do understand where you are coming from. However, you misunderstand my issue. The WoL is an effectively silent protagonist, thus having us directly drive events is very difficult, and are a largely reactive character to the events and actions of others that transpire around us. Characters like Estinien and Ysale command the plot of HW, and the likes of Hien or Lyse dominate the storytelling of SB. Things are more evenly distributed throughout ShB between the characters, but the actions of the Exarch and Emet largely dictate the plot. The WoL has always been something of a tag-along, but when push came to shove, we did shove back. We are the hero, the champion, the fighter, the adventurer. We are the main character, and thus, our actions should always be at or very close to the forefront. We took down Thordan in the Singularity Reactor, not Estinien. We were the last standing when Zenos attacked Rhalgar's Reach, not Lyse. Our accomplishments are special. Then there is Wuk Lamat, who seems to exist solely for the purpose of supplanting the WoL. She is the first to claim victory in defeating Valigarmanda. She commands the scene where she morns the loss of Zoraal Ja. And when it finally comes to face the Queen Eternal, she not only completely steals away the final cutscene, but the fight itself, summoning powers that by all rights she shouldn't possess to reenter the Interphos and dominate the scene with her presence. I dislike Wuk because she is highly reductive of us, the player, as a character and thus our investment in the game narrative as a whole. And to top it all off, she is just a poorly written character to boot. If that's not a nerf, my friend , I don't know what is.
12:12 it's a darn crime they use this drop only one time in this whole darn song and it's not even part of the loop. It slaps so hard!
Wol: this is too predictable
Sphene: oh really?
*random bullshit go*
I adored the Alexandria dungeon music so when this track kicked off I got super hyped. Can't wait for the extreme
Phase 2 start you can hear trance kuja's theme after dialogue.
Listen for it
Yeah, The Dark Messenger - which was Uematsu riffing on 'Carry on Wayward Son' by Kansas.

I can't believe I never noticed how the background starts cracking when she does Absolute Authority.
this song was so amazing first time i got to this boss.

I wonder if someone at CBU III is a fan of Xenoblade.
@@voidoflight2420probably.
They got fans across all spectrum of games and genre.
@@voidoflight2420 its such a shame square enix fumbled the bag with the Xeno series. we coulda had that shit on pc and psn ;(
The violin part
Then just the dawn trial theme starts playing and ruins it 😭
Sphene listen to me
@@DiverseComedyGaming it's a victory lap song, I like it because we know we've already won, but I guess no one knows PSO2.
Love this music. Fight was cool, it will be interesting to see how they handle some of these in the EX version.
Probably stacks, spreads, pairs, in, out mechanics .
Probably need to stand in place and let thing resolve too@@kiretan8599

Wuk lamat doing Fell Cleave and then spamming LB3 for herself casually
This boss theme starts very much like Jenova from FF7. They sound very simular at least for me.
Great encounter, can’t imagine the ex version when it drops and the mechanic mayhem lol.

Saturday morning cartoons are fun.

@@Geesaroni I felt that ARR Alphie was objectively much worse.
I love tremble though..
@@desdenova1 atleast there the voice actor nailed the snotty entitled brat that alphy was before his character development
Such a caotic fight first time and was a lot of fun.
Honestly best boss in the game, and I want a savage version of this
Also for those who are complaining about the English VA try the JP one
imagine when wuk lamat comes in queen eternal just backhands her and instantly teleports her back out of the meso terminal
the good ending
That'll be for the EX
@@TheRealPentigan😂 🤞🏻
Speeen leeesun to me
the way the song changes at 5:18 felt so perfect to me i got chills the first time i did this.
Wow, a WoL that doesn’t have an awful glam or dye. Such a rarity in these OST videos.
The piano in this track is amazing.
“I haven’t had a fight this hard since Stormblood” - The Warrior of Light, probably
Very sonic the hedgehog vibes

I would prefer to never have to listen to you again. Great track from Soken as usual though.
try the japanese dub for that fight in particular
“SPHEEEEEEEEEEEN!” Wuk Lamat said calmly.
it was so weird to hear that. I thought wuks VA was good up until this point like it sounds like they just cut her pay so she stopped trying?
lol at 6:20
"Sphene, listen to me." Wuk Lamat shouted, calmly.
This is accurate in the english dub at least...
Why does this sound like Toby Fox worked on it?
Spheeeeeeen!
*yells in lower case*
"Spleeeeeen"
(Good track tho)
Make me want to go depress meteion again so we can have some less cheerful content lol
Second phase didn't do it for me. Wuk shoukd have stayed. It's the least she could have done to leave us alone for like ten minutes.
**lissan to me, spheeeeeene**
Why are there so many damn Midlander's now. They were so rare before EW, and now everyone decided to be one. It's so weird.
Cause thanks to the graphics update we're all pretty now.
Never noticed tbh
Bc now we dont look like default npcs anymore
Obligatory "I was a Midlander before it was cool"
But yeah, that graphics update goes kinda crazy

such an L take
