Kasuta look! It's captain buzzkill!

@@Silphiroth the core of the fight is the dimension shift. So I doubt it's a hologram alone. She's warping us to another dimension to keep the local area from feeling the backlash of those massive hits

"Did you play FFVIII back in 1999? Well have we got a treat for you." My friends could literally hear the low pitched *squeeeeeeeee* when this started playing. 12 year old me from 1999 very much approves.

[@shinigamimiroku3723]

Same here. Even though I don't play, I watch a XIV streamer, and watching these raids got the feels going...

[@BeanMan157]

Not going to lie - thanks to FFXIV, any time I hear a soprano going apeshit, my first thought is, "Oh shit, where are the Sin Eaters?"

As a FF VIII nerd, this is how you make a grown, bearded man squeal like a little girl.

[@Delnoir]

God help you if they find an excuse to plug "The Man with the Machine Gun" into Eden.

[@SubduedRadical]

@@Delnoir honestly, that's what I'm waiting for. Imagine if one of the fights has a second phase where some hero comes out of no where or you do a "role playing" bit as another character and it kicks in "The Man with the Machine Gun". I think people would die from the squealing.

I just fell in love when I heard Blue Fields play in The Empty but I never imagined for a second I’d hear Force Your Way... at that point I melted. ❤️

[@ZetaMAGES]

The moment the stars appeared I’m like “Oh it’s like Omega.” Then the floor starts turning into that symbol with the cool ass colors, then goes transparent, then it pulls a Alexander Prime, where the small version inside of itself spawns the big one inside of itself, then the planet shoots laser beams that shoot you into a galaxy, and the galaxy explodes WHAT THE FUCK?

That's how I was with ff3 and the crystal tower raids. It feels almost like SE has personally handed you a love letter don't it?

Yes, the love letter description is so well on point. If Ultimecia's Castle happens as a huge raid and the ability disable mechanic (Limit, Healing etc.) until you beat bosses appears too, I'd go mental lol

Try explaining this fight to someone with no context of the situation... "So you're in space, on this giant whale, and then the earth turns into a Death Star cannon and shoots a beam of light at you and blasts you into a galaxy, then you explode into a black hole."

[@MindstormXL]

I just did the first 4 fights of the raid today, I was just jamming out to this tune as I was fighting!

[@SmokerFace12]

Still one of the best boss ultimate attacks I seen, not some over the top explosion but just a casual yeet into the black hole of Andromeda

[@riaa-c]

I enjoyed this fight a lot together with the flashback of FF8 sound tracks! It's just not over at all! 😍 It gets better and better with XIV

[@DBentt]

Eternal Breath is perfect I'm so happy. My group had never played ff8 before so they had no idea why I was so excited when the animation started and they weren't ready for it

[@Asmodeus562]

Same here

[@jacobkern2060]

It even has your characters doing idle animations when they're being beamed by it, just like 8.

[@nukaquantum7]

just unlocked that after finishing Shadowbringers... WHAT A FRICKING BANGER!!!! ABSOLUTE AWESOME!

[@usamimi-no-majo]

Edit: this track was arranged by Daiki Ishikawa, not Soken. Soken is so damn good at making the second loop of the remix sound so fresh after the first one, it's really fantastic and makes it worth listening to relatively short songs on repeat.

[@TheFightingGentleman]

Yea i felt the same way about the the ff6 boss music in sigmascape...cuts the organs and bass guitar for some sweet baby grand action...i'm such a sucker for those sort of things since they could have been lazy about it like the original game...which felt very much out of place btw...

[@bupbup7659]

The loop clocks in about 3 mins o_o so, yeah, really suited for the many times you'll be spending here, my main gripe with Omega 1-5 is that the boss music got old reallll fast, but nope, not with Eden.

[@Luxinox16]

Just here to comment that this arrangement is not by Soken (it's by Daiki Ishikawa).

@@Luxinox16 Thanks for the correction!

[@justicarpadraig1328]

Ah, I see that you are also a man of culture.

[@ghaleon3899]

Maybe it’s late and I’m loopy but watching the Eternal Breath transition I noticed when the Roman numerals are turning it stops with “VIII” in view and it looks like it lights up as it fires. Maybe a nice little nod eh? 🤔😁 Love this arrangement too!

[@MaisieSqueak]

That icon bar setup, left of the party list, is GENIUS ... I feel stupid for never thinking of it.

[@Wrendy2k7]

Yeah and no, I use a Mouse Over macro so I can free up a hot-bar for something more useful. As he is essentially moving his mouse over there and its a macro. Might as well have a macro that uses the Mouse over feature which will use the card on whoever the mouse is hovered over and only requires 1 button. Just means less button bloat.

[@LyviannaXIV]

I didn't play FF8 before doing this in 14, but I am still looking at it with a sense of nostalgia, since it was the first savage fight I ever progressed in a static

[@Mephistel]

Yo, I really like that macro hotbar you have next to the party list! I think that's an awesome idea.

“FFVIII is a bad game! It’s not even that popular! Square Enix doesn’t care about it anymore!” Man, people need to watch what their saying. They don’t have to like FFVIII, but it is one of the most popular games in the series, & one of the best selling games in the series. In my opinion, a FFVIII Remake will likely happen at some point since Kitase is interested in it. I wouldn’t be too shocked, but I would be hype since FFVIII is one of my favorite FF games, & the most unique FF game I’ve ever played. So a FFVIII Remake is a given, but it’s a matter of when. We’ll see.
