FFXIV - FF8 Fanboy VS Eden

[@DasSimplish]

I CAN'T BELIEVE TITAN 2.0 BROKE INTO MY HOUSE PERSONALLY, SAID I WAS UNCOOL, THEN DROVE AWAY ON HIS 4 WHEELER WHILE SCREAMING "NEEEEEEERD!" AND FLIPPING ME THE BIRD!

To quote a post I saw recently. DPS: Mechanics are for cars! Titan: *transforms into a car* DPS: :OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@youtubevleisureaccount545]

Blm: AH SHIT HERE WE GO AGAIN

[@TRONgirl_EXE]

Saw a macro like that when I ran Labyrinth of the Ancients earlier today for the first time

[@Unyubaby]

We created this Leviathan and Titan. Like some part of us just thought "You know what would be cool? Two-headed Leviathan. Titan who is also car. Yeah, those sound cool- wait shit no I take it back-"

[@Zayindjejfj]

WoL while thinking of Titan: Hmmmm....TRANSFORMERS

[@AvelinFF]

"Hmm, I remember Leviathan had 2 attack points, what were they again? Probably both heads, right? Did Leviathan do Tidal Wave, or was that Shinryu? Hmmm..." "HYPERTUNED. TITAN." I saw a post on reddit that reminded me that this is kinda similar to what happened to the Amaurotians, where their creation magics went completely whack if the user had any stray thoughts, etc. No wonder they had a calamity, if this is what ends up happening.

[@Taenlyn]

Now imagine what the WoL's gonna come up with for Ifrit, Garuda, and Ramuh. Shiva's gonna be the nut punch because of Ysayle.

[@SpaceDrake]

This entire video is impossibly pure. All videos of FFXIV should radiate such pure, unfiltered joy.

[@northernranger44]

21:01 This, ladies and gentlemen in slot 6, is the rare Eorzean Deer. There are only a handful of them in existence but the few that do appear in your party tend to show no fear when it comes to both death and mechanics. When presented with certain death, they choose to go out with a hail mary and Limit Break that which seeks it's death, therefore ensuring the survival of the remaining herd. Truly, a rare moment in the annals of history.

It's like we're amaurotines, any stray thought can drastically alter the result, so we got Shinryuviathan and Titan Kart

God savage ATV mount is going to destroy me if this is a fact. When I first saw this I was legit sobbing mid raid wheezing and laughing.

[@coreydemoss4781]

Someone on Reddit pitched the idea of the mount being an ATV when it's on land, then it transforming and attaching to your back and becoming a jetpack when you take off in the air. And now that's all I want.

[@KalinaHitanaVTuber]

I am so glad I found this video, seeing the sheer joy legitimately brought tears to my eyes. This raid tier, in just the first fight, completely shattered all the expectations I had for it, and that only became more prevalent as the fights went on

[@Sensiav703]

Eden Prime as E1 was the greatest shock to me. I mean it makes sense with the story they're going for, but damn, what a way to open this set of raids!!

[@aickavon]

@a HERO that doesn’t know what protect means It'll actually probably be Ultimecia, the final boss fight of FF8. She has a fucking WICKED final form, an amazing theme, and already the Oracle of Darkness (second boss) was being mind controlled and used time magic as well as summoning things left and right. Sound familiar? It should if you've played FF8.

[@briancoy7297]

This is basically the expansion for those of us that started on FF8.

[@cameronbeach2581]

That noise he made at 4:03 had me dying.

[@Syng777]

Pretty sure we're getting the primals in "Eurekan" order (or the elemental wheel). Water => Earth => Lightning => Wind => Ice => Fire. That was the reason for Eureka's order (in the Great Gubal library they mention in one of the book why this order is followed). Which means we'll end up with Shiva and Ifrit, Shiva because she's so apparent in FF8 and related to Squall a lot and finally Ifrit will have it's own cool theme for real!!

[@Puddor]

Double Zwei the shiva/squall bit is fanon, dude.

[@Madger]

The best part of the Titan bit is the fact that he monologues the lyrics of the song. Like "There's no salvation for the sons of man". I am so looking forward to savage o wo)

Ysale summon will just be her in blue robe that she wore while traveling with us. We both sat down and talked it out for a while, before she agrees and sacrifices herself to control the aether. It would be like DRK's Compromise, but this time we are summoning the memory of a loved one

[@Regore]

@Bruce Wanker, The Incredible Sulk YES my thoughts exactly! I called this shit 2 years ago im so hype!! Huge FF8 fan

[@Inhaledcorn]

I think boss 2 is also a reference to Adel.

[@tjongdavid1921]

I think it's more to Ultimecia when she junctioned herself unto Griever, and the armor she was wearing was probably galbadian armor (purely from its color scheme), but then the connection lost there. Could it be Rinoa "junctioned" herself to a beast? I bet she's also a resident from another reflection (from the 8th maybe?) that may have also been wiped by Eden and is on a quest for revenge

"Whoever is on that piano is FUCKING SHREDDING IT" Judging by some of the chords and just the style of remix, I am going to hazard a guess that the remix of Force Your Way was composed by Yoko Shimomura. It sounds like a god damned Kingdom Hearts track, in only the best ways imaginable. Considering Nomura is the designer for this raid, I would not be surprised if it /is/ Shimomura, since they almost always work together.
