Vanguard Theme "In Fulgur and Fire" - FFXIV OST

Much as Krile and friends say this isn't anything like they've seen before, I'd say this is almost a refreshing throwback to when we were storming Castrum Meridianum or Abania back in ARR and Stormblood. For all his bluster about how he's not like Garlemald Zoraal sure did build his fortifications like they did.

[@Professor_Utonium_]

My mind went straight to Baelsar's Wall or whatever it was called lol

[@jacobkern2060]

It's even got a similar boss layout. First one's a mounted soldier that regularly tosses adds, second one's a robot, third one's basically a legatus.

I'm a BLM and dear god. Did it yesterday. Today I found an even worse one, might've been THE worst one for any stationary casters - the wonderland circus one after the story. Holy smokes that one had a boss that didn't let you stand still for a damn second. I thought it was just his boss rage burst phase but no HE DOES IT CONSTANTLY and adds keep running into youto stun you for 10 seconds

I gotta say, everyone involved in the artistic and musical direction of "Part 2" of Dawntrail did such an amazing job of creating such an otherworldly, incredibly oppressive, but also mysterious and inviting world in Alexandria. I was always uneasy and feeling some weird cosmic existential dread in the back half of the game, and I loved every minute of it. Of course, it was the contrast between this and the wonderfully "old world" of the front side that really added to the whiplash. Such a fantastic expansion.

[@serisothikos]

After seeing a couple of the drops here... This dungeon is probably going to be the most farmed for glam out of the expansion.

[@avelin5045]

I made sure to run it a few times for the full set of tank gear shortly after clearing it for the first time, and I'm thinking of going back at some point for the DRK weapon - so yeah, people are gonna be farming this for sure!

[@Twocoolman115]

It helps that this theme is an absolute banger. Definitely gonna make farming fun.

[@SuperHexer123]

Can confirm, I literally put the breaks on MSQ after this dungeon to farm it. I've always wanted a scifi looking railgun design for MCH and the Solution Nine guard gun was perfect. Three runs later and I finally got it to drop lol. Not the biggest fan of the Aiming set, but definitely will hunt down the tank set later.

[@WhiskaAliapoh]

Already ran it 4 times to get the caster pieces lol

I farmed out the scouting set so I would have a new glam for the rest of msq. Loved this dungeon and its music

"No king rules forever, The Twinning."

[@ExceedProduction]

Nah, that song isn't dethroned yet. In Fulgur and Fire is nice and all, but a bit monotonous. A Long Fall has change-ups out the ass and a LOT of lore weight behind The Twinning. I can't help but feel both nostalgic and hyped every time I hear it. This song slaps, no doubt, but there's very little behind it.

[@nevy4256]

@@ExceedProduction Nah, I think I agree with OP here honestly. A Long Fall goes hard and has the lore hit behind it, but In Fulgur and Fire is the first time in DT where we're properly pushed as the WoL. It's tense, but strong and determined. We've handled worse before, and this won't be any different. Least that's the vibe it gives me.

Fighting Garlemald was absolute shit in this game, same for fighting Ascians, because the whole writing is lazy Mary Sue Gargage, reducing all antagonist to dumb f*cks who do absolutely nothing. Garleans could have killed whole Eorza in a mere hours. Ascians likel, too and easily roflstomp the WoL and even more the ridiculous bad terror psychos which are the Scions. And if it woul be part of the story, that they are the good guys and simply don't do such things, it would fit, but selling them as the bad guys and then just not doing it, because the writers says so = utter, lazy garbage. Garleans got a whole fleet of hypersonic(!) -- just to be clear, that's around 6000+km/h flight speed - which fire mini nuke cannons as they please. You would have ZERO change to fight this as some idiot with a bow or sword, hell not even with a military like our modern ones you would be able to beat this. They would just frush you to dust without sweating. Ascians can telepor at will, can see everything without being seen, can even teleport other - including the WoL - AGAINST the targets will and that many kilometers and got the power to create whole cities with their magic. Yeah, NO CHANCE. The writing of this game is absolutely atrocious and what I mentioned isn't even the worst part, that's just lazy. Worst part is that they take a magical super Hytler who genocided the whole planet, then distorted and tortured all life on it for 10.000 years for absolute ZERO reason as the good one and you willing serve that ultra fascists with a smile. That's disgusting to whitewash absolute extrem fascism like that. Especially from a japanese company, looking at their history of extrem fascism...
