Orbonne Monastery - Thunder God Cid

[@Hemlocker]

average mage: "I cast a lightning bolt" Count Cidolfus Orlandeau: "I CALL OUT TO THE SKIES AND TREMBLE AS THE BRILLIANCE OF A THOUSAND BOLTS BLINDS MINE ENEMIES AND TEARS THEIR FLESH ASUNDER"

[@dragonfable66]

Damn. That voice acting is superb. Every time he chants before casting one of his many skills I cant help but shiver in fear

[@UndyingWladeslaus]

As if Thunder God Cid didn't need to prove further he was the greatest Cid of all. His voice just booms that thunder.

[@zarinfreed8489]

TheXIIIth I mock it so much

[@numberc8420]

I don't know if you got the reference but they are the chants they say when using their abilities in FFT. If you only played the PSP version, they removed it even though they translated them.

[@diegomo1413]

The voice actors in this raid didn’t need to go THIS HARD!

[@singletona082]

Yes.... yes he did. And it is glorious.

[@kaanarik2858]

I love re-watching this video again and again. The combination of music and voice acting is incredible!

[@super-engineer8437]

The voice actor for this is hands down the best thing about this fight

[@elofkjellson3906]

Best boss in the best raid. I absolutely LOVE doing my best cid impression and saying the voice lines in unison with him lol. "I have been called the God of Thunder. You will now know why! Upon my holy blade the very world lies in balance! AND NOW THE SCALES WILL TIP!!"

[@zeppelincraft1443]

In Japanese he calls out his move "Balance breaker" or in kanji "The destruction of equilibrium". Which is something considering what he was in the origin game.

[@singletona082]

I feel like the following instruction was given to the VA: 'You are playing a quasi godlike being of myth, legend, and horror. Subtle died and its corpse was crushed beneath your boot' ....and I fucking love it.

[@sydniusalminia5364]

Seven shadows cast, seven fates foretold, yet at the end of the path lies death and death alone

[@jadedguardgirl]

thanks for posting this with the voice over 😗

[@Oppurtunafish]

I just did this for the first time last night and I was completely blown away!! I couldn't believe he wasn't the final boss of the raid! I didn't know what to expect of orbonne, and it became my favourite 24 man

[@Nesaru]

It's still my favourite 24-man raid right now, though that may change once the NieR raid comes out. A shame that there are some people in FFXIV who hate Orbonne and are willing to just leave their party the second they load in :(

[@RaxiazRedux]

@@Nesaru if Orbonne didn't take 2x as long as most other 24man raids they wouldn't leave.

[@claretheworm]

@@Nesaru what silly people...lol I literally que for ivalice raids just for the music LOL. for orbonne, I que for the voice acting lol.

[@Oppurtunafish]

@@claretheworm same!! even after nearly 3 years i queue into ivalice raids for no other reason than I love them

[@ImpTheSimp]

this fight is asmr for me, just having his voice, sound effects and the ominous music play is amazing.

[@PharohAmonKhanII]

That voice... This MUSIC.... OH MAN! This is Final Fantasy Tactic! BLAME YOURSELF OR GOD!!!! Gather power in the sky and STRIKE... LIGHTING STAB!!!! Heaven's wish to destroy all mind... HOLY EXPLOSION! are just a few of my favorites he does; I don't even mind that he doesn't directly quote the original American version of Final Fantasy Tactics... The next time play FFT, I'm playing this video in the background while I play this timeless Final Fantasy classic! If you haven't played the original FFT (not War of the Lions), you GOTTA try it. I'm fairly certain you'll love it.

[@Nesaru]

What's funny is that this music is from Vagrant Story.

[@cpatch-nh5cs]

Same universe.

[@rogeredmonds5302]

There's nothing wrong with WotL The original translation is garbage

[@ilikefoodx20]

Still hands down the greatest alliance boss in ff14. Damn shame so many people dont do the quest line to unlock the raid. I always got stuck doing the shitty fucking arr raids every damn day

[@phuckerpower]

That Crush Weapon failure 🤣

[@arahman56]

Its more surprising to have a fight WITHOUT the Crush Weapon failure.

[@yourebreathingmanuallynow3944]

Getting Izaro vibes from the voice acting. I did this boss yesterday and it quickly became my favorite so far

[@duragonnani9212]

Grotesque person from Vagrant Story watta boss theme 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️

[@MattBrain9336]

Fighting TG Cid blind on patch day is so much fun So much death

[@sebastiannaaheim1459]

06:49 that 52k Midare Crit oh my!

[@nekuronee]

here before people start pouring in “DRAGON KING THORDAN”

[@DarkerNemesis]

This is vagrant story end boss theme

[@coffeelink943]

I love this guy voice acting

[@saxistaja2]

Romeo Guildenstern: I see that you used my epic boss fight OST :)

[@FaiTheWizard]

My man forgot his Escutcheon II at home I guess. That shield made whoever possessed it basically invincible.

[@termiteterrorVSmyth]

Me: I fear no man TG Cid: OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE DARKNESS Me: I fear one man

[@AuroDHikoshi]

Its an epjc boss who gives speech as youre battling... and i dont think they can easily top this one

[@Morgoth__Bauglir]

Such epicness in this battle. It brings back some memories of FFT (my favorite one).

[@wolfshadowism]

Sounds like Tim Curry when he played The Darkness.

[@LionessPaladin]

rip Alliance B 5:53

[@ahmadfaheem3346]

Cant be mad though. Its TG Cid.....

[@lemesindong]

what kind of zodiac stone has TGC took that turned him into this abomination?!?!?!

[@edien1916]

Scorpio. It's given to him by the Temple Knights in Tactics as they're hoping he would join them after the coup by Delita (whom is himself supposed to be working for the Temple Knights but chooses to work for himself, setting up a decoy Cid that he kills and helps the real Cid escape with Ramza)

[@hootax8980]

​@@edien1916I thought it was Libra. He's got the Libra stone, which would make him the Lucavi Exodus

[@Veloso-hf1ux]

Cidolfus Telamon from FFXVI is the dominant of Ramuh, The Thunder Eikon. Coincidence? No, reference! 🥰

[@Tidonus]

Still my favorite boss fight in all of XIV.

[@protodvd]

Turning off the UI during the Swordplay conclusion was a very nice touch; thanks for that.

[@matthewdesjardins9269]

Ramuh never stood a chance

[@lucasamore8531]

oooo noooo its trueeee the song is from the final boss of vagrant story shit .......from argentina no lo puedo creer....se acordaron de vagrant story VAGRANT STORY

[@maxkid6446]

Even nerfed he is still a formidable foe

[@davoncater9109]

4:00. Epic

[@Geo07ism]

Someone give this guy a snickers

[@lo-filalafell1701]

Nice HUD layout👌

[@trial_with_an_error9687]

FUCK THIS RAID IS SO GODDAMN GOOD!

[@LokiTSR]

Is the person who voices Thunder God Cid, the same actor who plays Pinhead in the Hellraiser movies?

[@pinksakura8293]

Just a question... why is orlandeau like this? He used to be a good guy like ramza

[@Nesaru]

Pretty much testing the Warriors of Light, as did Mustadio and Agrias.

[@Evilman_520]

They're basically testing the Warriors of Light, before they go to face Ultima. Hence what he says before the transition phase. They've been guarding her seal ever since Ramza defeated her. They themselves can't stand a chance against her, so they waited for champions who could best them.

[@ravenstxr5806]

Evil Man thank you

[@TheAzulmagia]

It's funny because Cid is WAAAY harder than Ultima.

[@rednova2212]

@@TheAzulmagia Well, in War of the Lions, you could basically 1 v 1 her and win with Cid in the group. He is kind of the game breaker of that entire game just because his particular class has not only all of the special knight skills, but they are stronger than the other knights individual skill power set as well. Honestly, he could take Ultima in terms of mechanics. However in terms of Lore, he probably believes that his time may eventually run out, and he wants to leave the world, and the duty, in more capable hands.

[@elofkjellson3906]

This would be epic with just cid's music and sound effects. I wonder if you can keep his sounds on but turn everything else off, like your's and other players' sound effects and limit break sounds and whatnot.

[@Nesaru]

You can. There's an option in sound settings where you can turn personal, party and other player sound effects off.

[@voidspark7727]

so were you happy with the reveal of Hrothgar/Ronso?

[@Nesaru]

Very. It was an extremely unexpected and pleasant surprise (like, I wasn't expecting animal heads)

[@The_Gallowglass]

I know this is an mmo, but nobody beats T.G. Cid.

[@diegomo1413]

We don’t beat him, we just show him we’re strong enough to fight Ultima

[@Reynsoon]

A Raidou reference? Pinch me.

[@Archedgar]

Eh? Orbonne Monastery & Cidolfas Orlandu? it's nice to see Final Fantasy Tactics referenced but I'm not sure they got these particular references correct. Oh well. A small victory is still a victory. MORE FFT.

[@Nesaru]

While it is referencing Ivalice (XII and Tactics at the same time), this is its own story (though still written by Yasumi Matsuno, the guy who did FFT's story). This Cidolfus is a Lucavi, same with Agrias and Mustadio.

[@Archedgar]

@@Nesaru That.... sort of makes a bit more sense. Alright thanks.

[@FedeArgentina]

This is WoW xD

[@budakbaongsiah]

I don't know why, but Cid's voice sounds like a mash between a knock-off Christopher Lee and a knock-off Ian McKellen.

[@Sneedboy]

Stop playing SAM
