@@nikitapigusov2849 It's still too fast. Like, Endsinger's phase 2 lasted just long enough so that you could hear one full loop of the P2 BGM before she dies, and this has been consistent every time I've run that fight. Not only did we get to hear the entire BGM in this video, but we also actually got to see that the ENTIRE second phase is designed to line up with the soundrack perfectly, enhancing the entire thing. It's very clear to me that we're *supposed* to see this entire second phase, she's supposed to survive that long. Which means she's SEVERELY undertuned, the players already do enough DPS to kill her consistently within like 30 seconds of P2 starting. As cool as I thought this fight was, it's clear to me that it would be SOOOO much better if they just gave Queen Eternal significantly more HP. I *want* this fight to last longer than it does, most people probably agree. And that's honestly the best kind of complaint you can have about a boss, I think. "It's so awesome that it ends too soon" lol

Phase 1 despite being a super intense version of Alexandria's theme embodies a sense of sadness with more orchestral instruments and choir at times which is a perfect fit for Sphene's plight on her end as she embodies both a desire to save her people from past (orchestra) and present (techno) Phase 2 being a so much more grandiose version of the main theme with it's orchestra and rock instrumentation is a perfect fit for Wuk Lamat standing up to Sphene as a wake-up call and still doing everything in her power to show her that the now can be better than she thinks.

This was a fun fight. What was most funny was that on my first go, at the phase 2 only 2 tanks (me and other player) were left alive. And we brought her from ~40% to 0. Other people were like "oh no, tanks are at it again", but as fight progressed and we kept going, those exhasperated sighs of people wasting their time, have changed to legit cheering as we got further and further. Nothing makes you feel like you're achieving something when it's only 2 of 8 people standing and against all odds, you clear fight. So music was very, VERY fitting the moment.

Second phase doesn't match the tone of the fight since it's an extremely tragic moment that's the culmination of a woman desperately trying to keep the memory of her people from a doomed world alive.

She even gets "rifts in reality" so she can be present over characters that have been built for 10 years. She simply doesn't compare. It's no wonder she didn't place in the top ten in the popularity poll. A character who'd been around for a week beat her lol. The two reflections take just supports my point even more. We're sources over thrice rejoined: she had no chance against us from the start. A desperate machine with stolen memories made to persevere until she bleeds the universe dry.

Naw… it was no different from End Walker. This story wasn’t just about the WOL. We took more of a mentor road in this story. This is her story. As the first half of our stories was about death and finding the meaning of life, this second part dives more into life itself! Wuk and her people gave a perfect view of this. There is still hardships, prejudice, and division, but if we worked together, we could resolve this issues. Also also to the end, we must not mourn the dead, but enjoy the company we have now. Death is nature and must accept it. But we must not fear death and live our lives to the fullest!
