0:58 God, the part where it goes all soft for the four fiends part of the song, and the cutscene ends to show him in front of his doomed world he means to save. So good
My favorite detail about this fight is the ending cutscene when you beat it, showing Golbez *shrinking* from his giant size to normal size, effectively referencing how in the original FFIV when you fought Golbez he had a giant monster sprite, but in the cutscene battle between him, FuSoYa and Zemus, he had a normal party sprite. That is hilarious and I am all for it.
I have more for you - Golbez never had a weapon like a sword. He was a pure spell caster. He may look like Darth Vader in his suit, but his way to fight is more of Emperor Palpatine. In his small sprite form he casts lightning all the time. In combat, he only casts spells and summons that black dragon. Another trait of him is, he never stays dead and has the thickest plot armor of all the FF villains.
@@charliemcmillan4561 I did the same thing with my roegadyn. I was like, "why is this guy so huge? He makes me look tiny!" And then after we beat him, "Oh, he's a more normal size now..."
FF4 was my first game into the franchise and will always be my favorite of the sprite games. While FF6 was fantastic, there is something special about your first. This expac has been spoiling my inner FF4 nerd so well. I can't wait to see where they go with this!
As someone who hasn't played FF4, but has played Dissidia, I love all of this. This fight was so good I can't help but impatiently wait for the next one.
Yeah this fight is loaded with mechanics that are shoutouts specifically to Golbez's movelist in Dissidia, but on top of that they also throw in not just the more obvious FFIV references (Double/Twin Meteor, Black Fang, etc), but also incorporate some really interesting and kinda obscure references. It's a really cool fight that does a damn good job at paying homage to its source material on so many levels it's amazing.
I always love it when the Map/Overworld themes in a game are turned into the hero’s section of a boss theme. It gives a sense that all of this wandering, traveling, and adventuring is finally culminating .
2:10 to 2:43 straight up makes me bawl. It is *so* beautiful. I was not expecting to ever hear such a gorgeous arrangement of that theme, but Soken delivered.
"With abyssal dark and hero's blade, I bring my people liberation!" had no right sounding as cool it was. Props to localisation and the voice actor. He sounded so calm and monotone throughout the entire expansion that this may as well have been "Patch 6.4: Golbez Is Fucking Pissed"
Can’t even blame him for being pissed, we essentially broke into his room, read his diary(the memoriate crystal), the immediately asked to throw hands. I’d be a little mad too
Them incorporating the main theme of FFIV into the melody of Dreadful Fight was such a great move and really ascends this beyond Just Another Dreadful Fight Remix (which peaked in 6.3 ofc). My FFIV-driven brain just went nuts over this entire track and fight like goddamn.
thers so many references to it in 14, if you havent, search up ff4 references in 14, there is a channel that makes videos compiling them, its a lot and its touching. only if you never plan to play 14 though, .lots of spoilers
You should totally try to make a few hours a week, grab the free trial, get up to level 70 in the trial (free trial is getting another full expansion and level cap boost), buy Dawntrail when it drops, and enjoy all the Endwalker FFIV content then get to Dawntrail. Once you buy the game you'll have 30 levels to get (70 to 100 which is Dawntrail's level cap).
When i did this fight for the first time i was so wrapped up in the mechanics i didn't fully notice the theme besides the 4 fiends theme. Getting a chance to notice it now and noticing the FF4 overworld theme... if i had noticed it during the fight, i know i would've screamed with joy. It brings me to tears now.
I remember going into this fight day 1 as a Dark Knight, and let me tell you, it was a fustercluck from start to finish in the best way. At the very end of our third attempt (first died due to an AST not having LB on their bar and second was thanks to the SAME AST doubling the stack markers) Golbez was at like 5%, but we were all collectively under 50% HP with tons of Vuln and his Arenawide was coming up. I literally said “Fuck it, I’m stealing LB” to my friend in the trial and Tank LB3’d as a last resort - and it kept everyone alive long enough for the healers to catch up and finish the battle with every person standing. 11/10 would steal LB3 again.
Damn looks like they made this trial actually challenging. Can't wait to get to it a few months from now when everyone has probably already memorized it lol
This and Golbez EX are quite solid in terms of battle design. The mechanics are executed in quick succession, yet you're still able to comprehend what the hell is happening. There's not really much to decipher about the fight- just mechanics happening very fast.
Just fought him for the first time a couple days ago and for what it's worth, we wiped several times. No clue what hardcore players think of the fight but it seems plenty hard to me lol. Was very satisfying to finally clear.
I love everything about it. The Battle with the Four fiends leitmotif, the main theme of FFIV, the Prelude song is all over this too. You're not fighting a villain this time, you're fighting a hero who want to save his world from all-consuming darkness in the name of his fallen friend. A Warrior of Light in his own right.
@@acgearsandarms1343 Golbez is similar to Emet, in that what he's doing isn't "wrong" from their perspective. To Golbez, it might cause a calamity on our world to rejoin the 13th with the Source, but he's beyond caring about that. His entire planet and all life on it, has been trapped in a hell of undeath for thousands of years at this point. He's willing to do anything, to make that pain stop. All he wants, is to rejoin his world to the lifestream so that the people on it can finally die and be freed from their torment.
SPOILERS A hero who became a villain to save his people, taking up the armour and name of a fallen friend in hopes of carrying on his legacy. No matter the cost, no matter the foe, he will have the name Golbez remembered as the saviour of the world. His friend deserves no less...
It's still an open question of whether Golbez is a Shard of Azem, like the WoL and Ardbert. In FF4 Golbez was revealed to be the brother of the main character Cecil, and the WoL so far has been fulfilling Cecil's role. Not even just by being the main character, but also with their job progression from Dark Knight to Paladin with Shadowbringers and Endwalker. Being a Shard of the same Soul would be the closest thing to a brother in this narrative. If so, then it'd really underline his character as a fallen hero still trying to save the world.
@@justinlee790 ***SPOILERS*** This Golbez isn't for sure. But the "true" Golbez we see with the Echo, the original user of this armor, the one that was sealed in a memoria may be our shard, since we see what happenned throught his eyes during the vision.
@@Zackneifein31 There is no more evidence that Durante/Golbez isn't our Shard than that the original Knight in Black was. That is, there is zero evidence either way, for either individual. The only reason Golbez is a likely candidate is because of the WoL's parallels to Cecil, and the original plot developments of FF4.
@@justinlee790 Durante's long blonde hair and insistence on calling golbez his "old friend" betrays this to me: that man is a zenos fragment who happened to get his wish of being our shard's murdertime bestie.
@@justinlee790 They are other reasons if you just think about it, the WoL is the greatest hero of the Source, from what we know Ardbert was the greatest of the First, and the OG Golbez from what we can understand also was (at least for Durante) for the Thirteenth. The only other occurence of having an echo vision from through the "eye" of someone from what I remember is Graha, but in this case, it was 100% to not "spoil" for those who hadn't yet understood that the Crystal Exarch was Graha and the next vision after discovering the Exarch true identity, it changed. Here, there is no reason for it, from the voice it's easy to understand that Durante is the "new" Golbez, and the "face" of OG Golbez cannot be spoiled since he has his armor.
So good to hear this outside of the franticness of the EX version. You can really appreciate all the layers in the song, and those beautiful choir bits.
That striving melody of its main theme is just so damn powerful. I almost went to play it until I remembered that I am physically incapable of enjoying jrpgs
as someone whose never played FFIV but has gone through FFXIV, this is my favorite villain in all of Final Fantasy. Spell Slinging Dark Knight Lord, who is unrelenting. An imposing wall of a knight who could heft a greatsword one handed with ease probably... Oh yeah he's also a spellcaster. If BLM could use DRK weapons and armor yes plz!!
Beautiful masterpiece! FF4 main theme mixed with Four Fiends, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine such a coupling! The only small disappointment I can think of is I wished they would've used even just a snippet of Golbez, Clad in Darkness during the fight, like they did with Barbariccia and the snes version of Four Fiends. But that's not even a big deal, cause the sheer beauty of this OST is just, overall..perfection.
This patch was truly something special. Soken gave us a beautiful and epic FF4 medley AND a beautiful and epic Pandaemonium medley AND another remix of Flow. Such a legend
Idk about shard but yes golbez died and Durant took his armor and is doing it in his name. I was also wondering why they gave golbez a sword. He's originally a caster lol.
@@detectivesexman2781That could have been to temporarily obscure that our "Golbez" was actually Durante. Although it wasn't a very good obscuration given that Durante's voice is clearly Golbez's.
Makes sense this fight was so damn cool. This is basically the Endwalker version of the .3 patch fights from the other expansions so going all out for it is appropriate.
Theres only one reason i can think of that this wasnt the Organ theme of 'Golbez, Clad in Darkness' and it deals with what we see in a crystal right before the fight...
this filled me with dread, every fight against him in the underworld of FF4 is a brutal one, if you can time it so Kain is in the air it is much easier but that can be a real hard thing to time.
This is an amazing arrangement. I want to say it's Daiki Ishikawa but at the same time, it also sounds like someone else. Who could it be? Or am I just overthinking?
Sounds like Daiki Ishikawa to me and prob my best bet. That being said the way the intro is structured sounds similar to Yoshitaka Suzuki's stuff, like Endcaller (tho I wouldn't expect him to be on patch stuff you never know).
@@LZ02-OVERTURE Ishikawa is definitely my best bet as well but...I dunno. It sounds very much like Ishikawa but it's also not _exactly_ his usual style. Maybe it's just him trying out different stuff. The structure of the intro does sound like something Suzuki would do but the instrumentation used throughout the track doesn't sound quite like him.
@@LZ02-OVERTURE Saya Yasaki. I would've never seen that coming. This is sooo different from what Yasaki did before. But I was right that it doesn't sound quite like Ishikawa. But first 2 boss themes from Yasaki alongside "Fleeting Moment" though and they're both beyond amazing.
One thing that made me love this song much much more is you can hear Zero's Domain theme in this song starting at 1:32. I like that despite Golbez being the major focus you still manage to incorporate Zero into this song, using the more heroic parts of it.
I cannot for the life of me find the song that plays when Golbez is monologuing at certain points. It sounds almost jazzy and I love it but I CANT FIND IT
Going to try to avoid spoilers so excuse the vagueness lol... but i hope a certain someone ressurects the fiends so we have to have that fight them all at once moment.... that would be an intense fun fight
I kind of agree tbh, mostly because the other fiends really had no build-up at all and we just up and killed them. To me, it felt like we weren't really done with them
Guys if we all tackle him at once, we can push him off the cube!
he can float :(
@@lrek7661 DAMMIT
Can you imagine that working?
He's like 30 feet tall dude you're gonna need to tackle him real hard lol
"bro just give us the dragon!"
Golbez: *nah*
Golbez: “Oh I’m gonna give it to you alright”
Tldr of EW Patch Quests
"The Voidcast Dais Now Accessible"
"The fuck you mean 'nuh uh'?!"
It just doesn't sound the same without Golbez's godlike voice talking every three seconds.

Nah I think he is one of Zenos’s shards, I think our shard is the memorite crystal that fell into the hole.
The Azem shard likely is the original Golbez. Durante as Golbez here is likely Zenos shard.
Anyone noticed that Golbez's cape waves more fluidly than King Thordan's cape?
Makes sense this fight was so damn cool. This is basically the Endwalker version of the .3 patch fights from the other expansions so going all out for it is appropriate.
It sure felt like it. This is easily the best patch of the expansion
I want to see this track being played by an orchestra so badly
So I guess a fight with Zeromus is coming next?
If so I really cannot wait to see how they re-create that boss theme.
Zeromus now with 1/14th of that Zodiark juice, Azdaja aether and Golbez 1.0 memories.
They can't make Golbez more badass
*creates a sword*
AH SHIIIIIIIT!
I do wish there was more of Golbez Clad in Darkness mixed in, but I was honestly tearing up when the FFIV Main Theme kicked in.
I wonder if we're gonna get a shadowbringers remix for the Zeromus fight considering what Ystola has planned.
The Zeromus battle music mixed with the Crystarium theme or Tomorrow Unto Tomorrow perhaps? 😮😮
Theres only one reason i can think of that this wasnt the Organ theme of 'Golbez, Clad in Darkness' and it deals with what we see in a crystal right before the fight...
this filled me with dread, every fight against him in the underworld of FF4 is a brutal one, if you can time it so Kain is in the air it is much easier but that can be a real hard thing to time.
1:12
After playing the patch for 2 months now I can safely say this song is easily one of the best in the game thus far. The part at 2:09 is so epic.
I WILL FREE US FROM THE WHEEL!
Beat EX last week finally. :D
Best boss in FFXIV trial I’ve ever played in Extreme Version :D
"Deadbeat Dad"
No joke I misread the introduction as "The Voidcast Dads" and I was confused
This is an amazing arrangement. I want to say it's Daiki Ishikawa but at the same time, it also sounds like someone else. Who could it be? Or am I just overthinking?
Sounds like Daiki Ishikawa to me and prob my best bet. That being said the way the intro is structured sounds similar to Yoshitaka Suzuki's stuff, like Endcaller (tho I wouldn't expect him to be on patch stuff you never know).
@@LZ02-OVERTURE Ishikawa is definitely my best bet as well but...I dunno. It sounds very much like Ishikawa but it's also not _exactly_ his usual style. Maybe it's just him trying out different stuff. The structure of the intro does sound like something Suzuki would do but the instrumentation used throughout the track doesn't sound quite like him.
@@LZ02-OVERTURE
He did revenge of the hoard as well. But this doesn't quite hit like his style to me. Hoping he'll do zeromus' rendition.
@@xuto2693 Yeah I don't think this is Suzuki. But oooh, Zeromus's music would be perfect if he's the one doing it. Absolutely perfect.
@@LZ02-OVERTURE Saya Yasaki. I would've never seen that coming. This is sooo different from what Yasaki did before. But I was right that it doesn't sound quite like Ishikawa. But first 2 boss themes from Yasaki alongside "Fleeting Moment" though and they're both beyond amazing.
A raging gale to rend you asunder!!
@Uvi Thanks ma man!
One thing that made me love this song much much more is you can hear Zero's Domain theme in this song starting at 1:32. I like that despite Golbez being the major focus you still manage to incorporate Zero into this song, using the more heroic parts of it.
That's the Final Fantasy IV overworld theme
oh god I remember the name Deadbeat Dad I was in Euphrosyne with him once xD
"A RAGING GALE TO REND YOU ASUNDER!" About 10 seconds later.. *party wipe, followed by tears of frustration and pure disappointment*
Zenos: *PATHETIC*
I cannot for the life of me find the song that plays when Golbez is monologuing at certain points. It sounds almost jazzy and I love it but I CANT FIND IT
It’s the one with the really prominent baseline and a piano playing softly in the background
I was just thinking about how I haven't uploaded that track yet (despite it having been in the game since 6.0). I'll see if I can get it up this week
ua-cam.com/video/xBbuzRupfNk/v-deo.html - Somewhere in the World, FFXIV edition.
I love how this theme has the final dungeon theme of ff4 mixed in
IF YOU WOULD OPPOSE OUR CRUSADE, THEN COME.
I will free us from the Wheel
I'm going to headcanon this as Varis's theme music since Golbez looks like a shard of him and we never got a theme for Veezy G
Varis 🤝 Golbez
Having extremely large shoulders
and resting bitch face looks
LIGHTNING SURGE
Hear me Dragon and obey!!!!
I can't get used to the idea of Golbez using a giant dark sword. Wasn't he like an evil dark sorcerer?
it's explained in the story why he uses a sword but he does a lot of magic attacks too
His title card is “Knight in Black” so I find the sword fits him well. If he was the “Mage in Black” that would be a different story.
Golbez in the After Years uses a sword
Colin McFarlane voice: "THE CUBE"
WTB Tellahs Meteor spell and 1 hit this guy.
i get kingdom hearts vibes from his theme xD
Can you re-upload this but just add his voice lines lmfao I'm not saying take this down but Damm I need to hair his voice with this song lol
5:56 what the other DNC doing?
both healers dead, no rez mages and boss at over 50% health = wipe and reset
LOOK TO THE HEAVENS FOR YOUR D O O M
isnt part of this the airship from snes ff2? im an old man. forgive my ignorance
Yeah but technically it's the main theme/world map theme from that game. Which by the way, FF2 that came out in America is actually FF4 :D
Going to try to avoid spoilers so excuse the vagueness lol... but i hope a certain someone ressurects the fiends so we have to have that fight them all at once moment.... that would be an intense fun fight
I kind of agree tbh, mostly because the other fiends really had no build-up at all and we just up and killed them. To me, it felt like we weren't really done with them
