FFXIV OST Eden's Promise Anamorphosis Theme ( SPOILERS ) [ The Legendary Beast ]

[@ApexGale]

Ryne: Mitron is using my darkest fears to create a new creature that he will force you to fight WoL: Dear god...I can't even begin to imagine your trauma of being raised to fight and die from youth, then imprisoned for years. What kind of monster will appear? Ryne: Double Dad WoL: ...What? Ryne: *Double Dad*

[@Isomeria450]

WoL: ...Was that a Vauthry's magic just now? Ryne: ... (silently turns away) WoL: Ryne? Ryne!

[@SilverJakler]

So when the Main Tank starts they fight you could say they'd be... pulling Double Daddy.

Anamorphosis: a distorted projection or drawing that appears normal when viewed from a particular point or with a suitable mirror or lens.

I know it's suppose to be Thancred and Ran'jit but all i can think when i saw that thing was "That looks like my Gaia Online Avatar from 2006. I knew it came back to haunt me."

[@lukoscreyden]

this is terrifyingly accurate. Also, in a meta sense, hilariously fitting for this raid series. Memories from the WoL's youth manifests before them.

Been waiting like 20 years for Legendary Beast to make it into a mainstream rework. Actually though, whenever I would listen to it I lamented that it wasn't in anything.

Legendary Beast probably gets more play in FF14 than in 8. *Squall uses Renzokukan on Griever* Griever starts Shockwave Pulsar and Legendary Beast Starts Griever collapses Extreme starts *Next turn*

He fusion danced with Thancred as well. Dont forget they both were her protectors at one point. The reason why Ranjit was so crazy is because he watched her die before. And it broke him. So he smothered her and refused for her to grow and do what must be done. Poor guy.

[@AshramIndustries]

@@GhostWulf70792 Thancred was the LEAST bit involved with Ryne pre-Minfilia defusion (because of how much she resembled his late love). Contrasting that, Ran'jit was the MOST involved with her, given that she resembled his departed daughters. It's essentially a paternal yin-yang - both philosophical extremes were played to here.

[@AcraViolet]

@@AshramIndustries thancred didn't love minfilia romantically. she was basically his ward and they shared platonic bond. he confirms it a few times in the game.

It’s Innocence, Thancred and Ranjit. Pretty much the three people who she fears the most; Her jailor and his master, and her father figure when he did not care for her, as she was a means to an end

[@NoctiisXIII]

@@spencerdurette2859 i like to believe that thancred is not part of fatebreaker as a negative component, unlike innocence and ranjit. ryne says this enemy was born from her hopes and fears and how i see it is that thancred represents her hopes and ranjit and innocence her fears. when ryne became her own person and minfilia disappeared, thancred accepted it and moved on, there would be no reason to try and use this now long resolved problem of the past against ryne or anyone. i think that if mitron was able to gather all this info from rynes memories then he mustve also seen that this isnt a problem anymore
