[@valan2736]

This is because according to the Scottish and Irish folk lore and mythology the Fae (all encompassing term which I love that Square Enix paid attention to that) are known to be very mischievous in a way that's beautiful, enchanting, alluring, and yet in one of the darkest and twisted ways. There is a tale that tells of beautiful Elven Fae women leading young men astray to their lands where they will live the happiest of lives in eternal youth, soon forgetting their past lives, and then becoming one of their own to which if they were to leave they'd rapidly age before dying.

[@manwiththemachinegun]

As Valan mentioned, you don't screw with Fairies in traditional folk lore.

[@SupahPowers]

As cute as this song is, you can definitely feel the presence of a threat in there. It's subtle, but frightening.

[@CodyRockLee13]

How perfectly fae.

[@visionofsolace8961]

Faeries in general are quite pleasant feeling until you actually get in the way of what they want, which is generally mischief. And honestly, their queen is a force of casualty and nature and harmony at the same time.It think it's actually pretty dangerous if you ask me.

"You're my new toy, falalalala!" with playful and murder intents. I like to think about a twisted little girl playing cat and mouse in a manor with you.

[@PlazDreamweaver]

That's the power of psychology my friend. You are aware this theme is playing while the boss is out to kill you, so you associate a subconsciously-created threat to the theme. Imagine this theme playing during a Mary Poppins movie, or a comedy scene - if done right, you will see a complete lack of this threatening sub-aura. No doubt this effect was intended by the composer. Amazing, isn't it?

Something else I remarked, she's got some musical references in her attacks! Bright Sabbath (Black Sabbath), Twist and Sprout when she does the root attack (Twist and Shout, The Beatles) It might be far fetched, but I feel like those were deliberate and since I like this trial so much, I felt like sharing that. Though I'm sure I'm not the first one to point that out anyways. c:

The Dancing Plague is actually a thing: In 1518 , around 40 people died in Strasbourg due to nonstop dancing. Why they were dancing in the first place is not yet known for sure.... Creeps me out very much, but it does tie in with the fairies way of killing people by forcing them to dance without end.

There's deeper themes with dancing and fae. It's fairly popular to see works from ye olde days of fairies and the like whisking away beautiful young ladies and making them dance endlessly- provided they don't escape.

[@clarenceallen7396]

I find titania ost savage as hell. Shes basically saying how she will enjoy beating the shit out of you while encouraging you to get up and keep going. Even if you get tired shes like "its cool rest and we will begin again." Holy hell shes so confident she will always win she literally discribes two of her actual attacks in the song if you listen.

[@brianc4632]

Never played FFXIV, but I’ve been watching videos of it because of Il Mheg. Maybe I’m fascinated with anything that involve the fey, but they did a really good job with them in Shadowbringers. They showcased their penchant for mischief, cruelty, and whimsy. This song is also really catchy and I can’t get it out of my head since I first heard it. This is exactly what the fair folk would have done to us mortals. Everything is so alluring and lustrous, which serves as a facade for the danger that is the nature of the fey.

[@elends2302]

Exploring the zone, you find these oddly shaped decorative bushes, some of them fleeing in the direction opposite from the village or tucked away in some obscure locations. The fae in this game refer to them as their "children", but you find out very quickly how they were made. Turns out the fae fucked up *a lot* of people.

[@brianc4632]

ELENDS And there was that one cutscene at the conclusion of the story where they played with an army in fae-like fashion, a dazzling spectacle of lights and terror. Now since I haven’t played the game I’ve only read from other people (so correct me if I’m wrong) that some of the leafmen were once mortals of the original inhabitants of Il Mheg before the sin eaters went and messed everything up. Some of the mortals were turned by the fae to stop their transformation into sin eaters as the fey regarded some of the mortals with affection, hence referring to them as their children. Of course some of the leafmen are a result of the fae preying on unsuspecting mortals. And yes, the fae are in the business of meddling with mortals for that is their nature. Like Feo Ul said, the fae live in the present and never contemplate the future nor the consequence of their actions.

her story was tragic. ; ; happy we are not killing primals, but tainted beings. And happy titania was more of a mercy killing. Also happy fae speak is based on old irish gaelic.

[@balazsszucs7055]

Well she still might be a Primal. I mean there is always a new Titania empowered by ancient relics. It IS a sort of belief. It is like a mix of Susanoo and the Knights of Round. She was presented as a Primal of the pixies after all. Although that might have been deliberate misdirection to hide spoilers.

[@Zarryon12]

This whole entire arc was my favorite, the entirety of the moss awashed ruins, everything screamed Irish mythology to me as far as the landscape went. The pixies...the Fuath...and I was listening to the language and thought it was Gaelic they were speaking....weird as I had never heard the language before, I just knew it sounded nothing like anything I had heard before...and was enraptured. Feo Ul made the expansion for me and loved every part they spoke. I do hope there are more interactions to be had. If anything jumped out and me and screamed I AM IRISH it was that spritely being. Pixie , fiery red complexion, and a temperament to boot...I beamed every time they popped up on the screen...the last time I saw them actually having me give leave of a few tears.

Hop on a trial up to Story Level 35 of the base game, and enjoy the content each expansion (season/arc) offers! 14 is like a single-player story FF, where you're then required to group up to fight a boss/dungeon every couple Story levels to test your co-ordination skills so far, so you can go at it at your own pace or tackle progress with a friend :)

[@min_wolf976]

The theme is grim if you think about the lyrics. Most of the song is just about the pixies themselves, however one set of lines is about something much darker. Summer child with heavy eyes Lulla lulla lullaby Come our lonely angel nigh Sing in our sweet lullaby This line is about how pixies are born, which is explained in game. Pixies are said to be born of dead children and this is reflected in these lyrics. "Summer child with heavy eyes" Heavy eyes are typically used to describe someone who is on the verge of falling asleep. Children are often told that death is just going to sleep forever. "Come our lonely angel nigh" This is the pixies calling to the soul of the child. For an angel to be lonely, there'd have to be no one waiting for them in the afterlife. A child's parents would still be alive, meaning the child would have no one waiting for them, making them a "lonely angel" "sing in our sweet lullaby" The pixies are calling the soul of the child to come join them as a pixie.
