This isn't just a giant robot. It's a cybernetically enhanced banshin. This is the reason why Diabolos' theme is the driving force of the track. The garlean empire is literally trying to weaponize a summoning of Diabolos.
@@enlongjones2394 this is a body created to capture and use a voidsent in this case its Diablos. My guess is when we defeated Diablos the bastard retreated inside of this thrown away hidden vessel. In order foe himself ro stay tethered to this world.
I love how an obscure summon from one of the least appreciated FF games has become a recurring villain who probably would have annihilated the universe by now if he hadn't had the poor luck of crossing paths with an army of women in casual summer wear.
When i was going through the Dalriada for the first time with a friend we were talking until he asked me. "so what do you think is the final boss" and i jokely responded with "satan weapon or something like" Yeah, it was kinda funny and we found diabolos at the end.
No matter how many times it is, Diabolos always comes back to fight us. I was really not expecting to be fighting him at the end of Bozja, thats for certain,
do you think Diabolos came back to his senses, took stock of what had happened to him, took a look at what was going on around him and just thought "oh. it's *Them* again. Son of a..." *Sigh* "Alright let's get this song and dance going. Again."? XD
@@DarthSanguine actually i think is really him, at the start of the fight he start talking like a machine, and starts having interferences, and ends with Diabolos talking normaly and says "at last im myself once more!"(mekkadee didnt recorded that line) and i remember that in the end of his final raid a bat getting away, i think i just needed a new body, and he got it here
@@Sewersyrup That was my point, if we just destroy his form we wouldn't need a special magical Stick... One which we get specifically to destroy Scathach. We would just hit him until the demonic juices come out, like always. But instead we hit him with the magical demon destroying Stick which from what we know disperses their aether, killing them. And then the Garleans fired up the Magitek abomination made to work with Diabolos aether. Yeah I think those Idiots actually accidentally revived him.
@@Sewersyrup the thing I wonder about is... IF He could have done it naturally. The Nullstone was meant as a Tool to permanently destroy Voidsent after all but it wasn't exactly in a top state. How do Voidsent work anyway? Spoken have a soul and Ascians are beaten by dispersing or trapping the Souls Aether. Voidsent where Spoken that turned into... well voidsent when the 13th went to hell but do they still have Souls or is it all just Dark aliegned aether with a Mind?
The moment the Diablo/Diabolos connection hit me was during the door phase. Consequently, while having this epiphany, the giant death ball also hit me.
For me it was both seeing his face up close, wondering 'man that looks really familiar, what's it from?', and then hearing the opening notes and realizing its the start of his theme. I started nerding when I made the connection, I LOVED the callback of both his powers and the music

@@Sommion Huh ... interesting. Considering this thing was excavated and we kinda murdered Diabolos two addons earlier ... what was inside that thing then?
This is a genetic modified version of the Diablos. I believe the Allagan might take his DNA and try to create a bioweapon similar to the original. Because of that, the personality is the same but the trait was different. Yes, he is a second ranked voidsent, Allagan just succeeded to make something crazy while thinking about how to tamer the monster. Eikons aren’t easy to fight against and they are usually rare in particular. It’s called a relic because it was the first man-made Eikon before Ultima weapon existed. Unlike Ultima, it’s a cyborg monster type I guess. They really want to flesh out something about Allagan technology and what they can do for this version of Diablo. Like the field note description, it might not just one but multiple of them under experiments. This is just a finest version of out them I think
@@dale7326 ..i just wanted to make a cheeky reference to the fact that we got to see diabolos in some facet again even if it isn't actually literally diabolos ;_;
I can't explain it, but there is something I like a lot about this song. It feels different than all the other songs in the game for some strange reason....
It has a really haunting tone to it, the little keyboard sounding notes have an ambience that give it that spooky feel while still feeling like you're facing a very relevant threat
@@bureji im 4 months late, but, this IS a remix of an uematsu composition, actually! the original, wrath of the eikons, was composed by uematsu for ffxiv 1.0

@@kiraina25 I also found the 2nd to last boss; the part where the robot starts spinning around the arena to be quite fun as well plus the whole laser room section
DR was all about the despair and horror of the Blades being tempered and forcefully transformed into mindless abominations who live only to serve the Queen, so the music reflected this. This is the final battle to end the Bozjan conflict once and for all.

@@at0micl0bster Actually it's just a faster arrangement of Wrath of the Eikons from 1.0 which WAS in fact composed by Uematsu, I didn't realize that at first but once someone pointed that out it made perfect sense.
Oh my god guys, when the big ball rolls through the arena, you don't have to eyeball it, they always run along the seams on the floor !! i realized it on run 22 lol
So I have a little history with Diabolos in ffxiv. First time I did lost city of amdapor we wiped on him like 4 times. It was brutal. Get to this boss, I hear the music and then read the name more carefully and then realize *oh no, its door bitch.*
Oh it's time for Diablo and his 'Wonderful' Doors of Mayhem. Whenever I get that dungeon, if I'm playing DPS, I immediately say "OK, I'm marking doors, this WILL wipe us if we're stuck playing concentration mid fight." Of course, you also have to prioritise using the doors that are across from each other, so the real fun becomes getting the other DPS to help open them.
The Diablo Armament was rumored to be on par with if not surpass the ultima weapon. Take into account that the weapons chowed down on MULTIPLE primals whilst The Diablo Armament only needed ONE voidsent
@@jpem4664Well, there is a slight slight potential of your wishes being granted in a slight form. Chaotic Raids of previous ARs are happening, basically regaled encounters of previous final bosses at the end of each AR series (if the first domino in the stack is anything to go by, so to say). If Cloud of Darkness is anything to go by with how it uses E7, E9 as well as the base Cloud of Darkness battle (depending on how it is on Tuesday when it comes out), we *might* get a Diabolos Hollow (Chaotic) with some spice from Diablo Armament!

I actually miss Bozja. I hope the next iteration of it in Dawntrail actually adds some future-proofing so it doesn't die after a new expansion releases, like Dalriada and Castrum Lacus Licore did after Shadowbringers.
@@Sewersyrup would be cool if we see him again in the Reaper Job Quest Line. Maybe some poor fool will let Diablo use them as an avatar. Similar to us using our reaper.
@@Sewersyrup I just got the field notes, and I am confused. Is it not simply a different Diablos? My understanding is that this thing was prisoned below Bozja for centuries...
@@kurothekyuubi1157 with how the Damalscan plotline is going, we may have more Ivalice content soon. The Ashe in FFXIV was said to have died 30 years ago when Garlemald came and invaded Damalsca but I think her body was never found. With how we didn't get her outfit this patch, we may find her in the next chapter of the Ivalice series within XIV. With Bozja finally liberated, the Resistance in the East can now focus all their might against the IVth legion with a Gabranth that was able to get back some old weapons.
Seems like Lyon killed Gabranth 6 months after the event in Zadnor. He was dying from a deadly disease and accepted his death from Lyon's hands. That's at least what the reports say. He then escaped and delivered Sicinius to the enemy with the help of the beastmaster lalafell we see in Zadnor's skirmishes (Pegaga or something)

Technically it is. This is the final piece of battle content in all of Shadowbringers. So it is quite literally the last boss of the expansion.

Take into account that the weapons chowed down on MULTIPLE primals whilst The Diablo Armament only needed ONE voidsent
Imagine an armament having the 4 elemental fiends as fuel and diabolos. Going to give that as suggestion to the wandering minstrel
I knew this fight, and music, would be good but I had no idea it would be this good. I kinda wish The Diablo Armament was its own trial.

IT SLAPS
while Wrath of the Eikons (aka Diabolos) and Bozja theme are obvious... i cant help but feel there's some Ogre Battle in there.
This entire boss is a callback to the final boss of March of the Black Queen so it’s very very likely that’s intentional.
mark my words, he will return in 6.1!
Sorta! This time we’re probably taking the fight to him!
News: it's alot different
I really love this fight. I want to go back but it's harder to get into the Dalriada now.
Finally got to this for the first time...man that boss literally hit hard
Diablo Armament? U must mean Neo Exdiablo.
Door Mechanic? Grandcross Diablo. :^)
Kinda wanna go back and que for this dungeon again just for fun.
How many times are we gonna have to teach you this lesson, Diablo?
wouldnt it be fancy if diablos is the voidsent zenos has a pact with as a reaper? - unless he just uses magitek and has none ~
I actually miss Bozja. I hope the next iteration of it in Dawntrail actually adds some future-proofing so it doesn't die after a new expansion releases, like Dalriada and Castrum Lacus Licore did after Shadowbringers.
This is a fantastic theme. More importantly, anyone else hear 'J-E-N-O-V-A' buried in here? Like, my brain was shaking during this fight! :D
I definitely thought about JENOVA too
2:00 is just too good!
for some reason i feel like i can hear FF VII motorcycle chase ost from this
Diablo, we can never seem to escape him no matter if it is the real thing or just some copy.
Can’t wait for the Diablos and Deus Darnus variants in Endwalker
@@Sewersyrup how is that possible we killed him during the 24 man raids in Heavensward?
@@Sewersyrup would be cool if we see him again in the Reaper Job Quest Line. Maybe some poor fool will let Diablo use them as an avatar. Similar to us using our reaper.
@@Sewersyrup but didnt Cait Sith kill him with the Nullstone?
@@Sewersyrup I just got the field notes, and I am confused. Is it not simply a different Diablos? My understanding is that this thing was prisoned below Bozja for centuries...
this song and the guitar is so cool
Was expecting Gabranth... this is so much better
Think SE is keeping Gabranth for something bigger.
@@kurothekyuubi1157 with how the Damalscan plotline is going, we may have more Ivalice content soon. The Ashe in FFXIV was said to have died 30 years ago when Garlemald came and invaded Damalsca but I think her body was never found. With how we didn't get her outfit this patch, we may find her in the next chapter of the Ivalice series within XIV. With Bozja finally liberated, the Resistance in the East can now focus all their might against the IVth legion with a Gabranth that was able to get back some old weapons.
Seems like Lyon killed Gabranth 6 months after the event in Zadnor. He was dying from a deadly disease and accepted his death from Lyon's hands. That's at least what the reports say. He then escaped and delivered Sicinius to the enemy with the help of the beastmaster lalafell we see in Zadnor's skirmishes (Pegaga or something)
lyon will be our beast teacher :v
@@randomstreamer2868 i also barely read on fran notes and still no her age ofc, and on the note it said she was on a team to kill ashe but only to take her to live and fake her dead,i though isn't that ff12 story i think? because i haven't play that yet but after reading your theory, it become make sense xD
Is that a Deckard Cain reference in the description for a boss named the "Diablo" Armament?
Soken you madman
Just finished not one but two 5 man dalriada runs with endwalker coming out...the music makes it worth.
Why does this sound like it can be a team leader theme from Pokemon?
Anyone else notice and/or question the similarity between "Wrath of the Eikons" and "Imperial Will?"
Did Soken write this? Parts of this sound like a straight up Uematsu track, and im loving it
It's a remix of Wrath of the Eikons, which Uematsu composed for 1.0.
Just when we thought we escaped him...he comes back, somehow, someway...
Oh shit, DIABLO????
basicly a vessel they intended to summon and slave diabolos to its in the info summary for it u get once u beat it
mr happys play through of it he reads it all out whole raid boss fight and all is up on his yt near the end is when he reads the boss info out from summary
@@Nomadic_Gaming I imagine the allagans built the armament but never actually summoned diabolos. The empire probably found it and summon it from the void to use it this time.
@@Danothyus1 just look up the summary card
its alive and active it just breaks free and goes off before the npcs can do something to control it
its a living wep like the others but made to house and contain an eikon similar to how ultima could absorb eikons ether but a step further
its a pretty wild info sheet tbh
Holy fuckin shit
The opening day wipe fest. This song still linger in my head for 3 weeks already..
The aesthetic of this boss reminds me heavily of Bahamut from Advent children
That white mage standing there doing nothing but waiting for the next raidwide to use medica II hurts my heart.
This shit bangs so hard
Ultima weapon>Ruby weapon> Sapphire weapon>Emerald weapon>Diamond weapon < Diablo Armament.
Does this theme sound like something that would be in a shin megmai tensei series somewhere?
Void Overload still doing its best to leave bodies everywhere
What a jam
My internet cut during the Dalraida so I missed the lead into this fight, I get back in and immediately go: HWAT THE FUCK IS THAT!? It was quite the time lmao
The beginning sounds like Force Your Way a lil bit.
1:13 sounds exactly like a portion of Find Your Way too. Definitely intentional FFVIII references!
Love this theme! Never did dalriada, might just go try it if there are even any people left in Zadnor x)
Can confirm people still run it regularly, was just doing a run a few hours ago.
Still a bunch of people around, and as long as you get two or three people for this entire thing you're golden. Undersized parties get buffed through the roof. I did it with 4 people, two of which were WHM :D
this is the equivalent of eden promise umbra if it wasnt Cod
Oh wow, with so few people the doors don't seem so terrifying. You can barely mess one up with a full 48
