[@WineRedEchos]

I love how azem is just like "there's something in elpis with my aether that's acting as my familiar? fucking SICK!"

[@Skranatic77]

Azem, like us, lives to cause problems for sheer amusement.

[@Demonboy007]

Azem: Is that content I sense?

[@HappleProductions]

@@Demonboy007 Azem, the ancient not-greek streamer.

[@Unyubaby]

I absolutely love how the WoL perks up whenever Azem is mentioned and seems to gloat when Azem is complimented.

[@DecidelyUnethical]

In this raid series, the Warrior Of Light is contracted to fumigate Lahabrea's basement while the family argues over their issues upstairs.

[@Demonboy007]

Hilariously accurate.

[@serinahighcomasi2248]

Now read that again, but in Max0r’s voice

[@xalrath]

from "Lahabrea, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE" to "goddammit what did you do this time"

[@OkamiG15]

How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man?! Chronologically for the first time, for the last time.

[@kuronaialtani]

I gotta say, on day 1 impressions alone this tier was infinitely more fun than asphodelos Can’t wait to see what they do in savage, especially since there’s an entire theme in p8s we haven’t heard yet, White Stone Black

[@revaryk6868]

8:37 "Erichthonios, it's me. THE DEVIL"

[@Jimbo_SIice]

“Heyo, bing-bong, you’re doing it wrong.”

[@mismismism]

All the DNA stuff, Athena's plot and even just how whatever is in Pandaemonium is sealed and why it's underneath it. I'm calling it now, I feel like Athena's gonna be FF14's version of Jenova, I thought Minerva but now that we saw the Hephaistos arena too and the end of Abyssos story, I really think it's gonna be Jenova.

[@Ludipolo]

Another thing to consider is that Minerva is the Roman version of Athena.

[@bolladragon]

I hope Proto-Carby is the mount for this patch’s savage series.

[@SanbyakuenMadao]

According to data miners.... apparently it's not. It's the fire-creatures that Hephaestus conjures

[@bolladragon]

@@SanbyakuenMadao Dang, but those are sick too so that’s fine

[@ToonGamemaster]

Watch it be the cursed tree lmao

[@SwordfishJouster]

Heck, make it an option for /egiglamour

[@vfaulkon]

I hope he’s SMN’s level 100 ability :3

[@jamesderbutler]

I mean, Themis literally has Elidibus' voice actor and he looks very young, which fits Elidibus. Also he said he saw us at Elpis in the MSQ and Pandaemonium is the only possible point where that could've been since he didn't show up during MSQ. Also, he is the only other Ancient next to Venat that wears white. And white is the color of Elidibus and all others (like Venat) who are deemed unpartial. We learn that during MSQ when we first meet her as an explanation why her robes are white. So yeah, I knew it was him the time they showed him in the cutszene back in 6.0. Just from those facts it couldn't really have been anybody else.

[@woops]

They literally could have just introduced an entirely new character and it would've just made as much sense, but okay go off

[@CallsignRogue]

My initial theory was that Themis would become Elidibus later, but wasn't actually Elidibus yet.

[@nulloperations]

@@CallsignRogue this was my assumption. I was sure it was the same person, just not yet ascended to the convocation yet.

[@Toksyuryel]

@@woops Sure, they could have, but if they had done that why would they make his voice identical? It's not just the voice actor being the same, the performance is the same too.

[@AeeanPlays]

Choose your own adventure: WoL teams up with Lahabrea and Elidibus...something I felt I WOULD never do.

[@diamondking6432]

I had to physically stop doing what I was doing when i saw who elidibus was.

[@Blackbeltsam5610]

the crystals twin is in Azys La. AKA where Lahabrea died.

[@amiablereaper]

I guess Lahabrea will be having his own rejoining soon

[@hannahzarnstorff4797]

I know nothing about this game but MAN has this single episode about it made me want to start playing it.

[@Outlaew]

I wonder why thaty guy went to Azys Lla. Couldn't have anything to do with the fact that is where Lahabrea died

[@noodle1228]

This game is sick I wish my parents would stop fighting

[@amiablereaper]

--Ericthonius

[@aboundedsumo7984]

Lahabrea sundered before it was cool.

[@lightofthelives]

The music this patch is top notch absolute bangers all around

[@themadgodofoblivion915]

That whole segment where whoops is proven right about Athena is probably the funniest and most satisfying part of the video

[@RealNikoPlush]

They nerfed chainsaw so the tree wouldn't be cut down within the first few seconds

[@amiablereaper]

Can't wait to unsync it with the 7.0 mch skill, wood chipper

[@BrzePascal]

Someone fed Carby after Midnight and unspeakable things happend

[@corvidaegudmund1186]

It’s Summoner 101: Carby gets cranky when you put him out of his routine.

[@Xardion55]

Like throwing grandmas out of windows...

[@dist0rt3dhum0r]

As soon as I loaded into the tree fight my first thought was "Damn, Wispy Woods; what happened to you?"

[@charnor2727]

Wispy got sick of fighting an eldritch monstrosity, and decided to find some new prey

[@TheImaggine]

So that makes me wonder: did we fight the REAL lahabrea back in ARR and HW? the real one might be sundered while the one inside the crystal somehow freed himself, remained unaffected by the sundering and took over the office.

[@BlueWoWTaylan]

I guess after some time, instead of destroying his crystal, he decided to merge back with it with the Final Days happening and remained 'unsundered'. Ove time, lost himself to his more insane part.

[@OkamiG15]

@@BlueWoWTaylan Or he does destroy the crystal, but like Emet says he hops bodies so much that his already half-destroyed soul starts fraying way quicker than it should.

[@NuclearRaven13]

I feel like arr lahabrea might be the ome in the crystal since he seems to be very negative, calling Gaius "pathetic" and monologues about him "wasting his efforts" and such.

[@Coramelimane]

It seems proper that the head of the Ancient's weapons development department would be named Hephaestus.

[@TemplarCora]

If Normal already this crazy Savage gonna be way crazier. Hot damn

[@TarossBlackburn]

From the first tier I got real Castlevania vibes from Pandaemonium... and now it travels through time and space as well? The final phase of the final savage boss better be 'Death' like. :D

[@cassandramaccarthy3337]

On one hand, I'm worried P7S will be "find the safe spot" and nothing else; I expect better but I'm scared. On the other hand, I'm excited for P8S because that fight can only go up from here

[@gorsecloud368]

I'M SO GLAD THAT I WASN'T THE ONLY PERSON WHO THOUGHT THE MUSIC SOUNDED LIKE PERSONA MUSIC

[@amiablereaper]

Dark Bread is even Lahabrea's shadow, who controls people by letting their emotions--their shadow-- take over

[@altaiir541]

"Dude! This song owns!" Yes, YES IT DOES!!!

[@scoldexperiment1554]

Ah yes, the Abyssos Raids. *Someone kill me*

[@DillonBabcock]

"when do i get THIS pose??" at 26:35 real. i want it too tbh

[@stolen_stardust]

theory for tier 3 (spoiler obvs)! Claudien is probably the sundered shard of Erich. He went to Azys La where Lahabrea died… I wonder if Lahabrea lost his crystal there upon death (ignoring the fact that we got it from hyth shhh) and it still possesses Hephaistos. Perhaps Athena wishes to inoculate Claudien and make him aware of his ancient form. Somehow we’ll get Themis + Erich transported to our time to help us out here, but it’ll be messy.

[@bolladragon]

Elidibus and the others are in the aetherial sea, however. It’s hinted that he realized we were the one who helped him just before he sent us into Elpis the first time, so he may actually come to our aid that way.

[@Tabbycat2701]

The red Lahabrea memory crystal is actually different from the one we got from Hythlodaeus, that one was blue

[@casskets]

p8s pt 2 def going to be him using Eric's power/life to get even bigger and spookier

[@Heldemon]

The music from P8 is basically all the ascian/lahabrea related themes mixed together.

[@ieyasumei4339]

Wait... since Pandemonium is in the present now and in the Aetherial Sea, couldn't Elidibus technically show up since he's there too? With more of his memories intact and remember who we were to him?

[@nahuel3433]

Nah. Its probably in the present because we stopped it from being destroyed in the past. Elidibus eventually will do everything he did in the story thus far and die.

[@ieyasumei4339]

@@nahuel3433 Oh I'm not talking about Themis on Elpis, I'm talking about the him when we defeated him in ShB. Since he's dead and his souls is in the Aetherial Sea, wouldn't he be able to show up and be there with us in the present? That's what I meant

[@nahuel3433]

@@ieyasumei4339 Ah I see. I think not still because pretty sure he isn't comming back to the aetherial sea but getting consumed by the tower. Kinda like how the voidsent consume each other instead of returning to their own aetherial sea

[@Nobrev]

our elidibus got sent to the aetherial sea of the first, not the source. hydaelyn had to specifically grab emet and hythlodaeus and bring their souls back to the aetherial sea of the source to get them to where we could meet them at ultima thule

[@Unyubaby]

@@Nobrev It was Emet-Selch and Minfillia that Hydaelyn returned to the Source. Hythlodaeus was always on the Source.

[@retokazene5085]

"Out of my sides!" Hiphaistos said

[@Toksyuryel]

This might just be the best raid storyline in the entire game.

[@midsummerghost]

The whole “Athena is dead” thing had me gone. Instant sub

[@Gamemaster-64]

WoL: Hey Thancred, guess who's my new buddy is?

[@Heldemon]

I mean just from the clip you showed it sounded like your theory was that she was alive this patch so you weren't really right?

[@simonsidorov8315]

'stupid piano' *Sad noises from piano lover* :(

[@emilyspector2728]

I just subbed just because of your reactions LOLOL!!

[@austinsebben1402]

U can’t smash the crystal cause the knowledge of merging people with creations is exactly what they needed no make Zodiark. He must’ve opened Pandora’s box knowing what it would do to him eventually, and re-merged, which explains why our Lahabrea acted like Haephestos, and not like Vulcan Ye Olde Lahabrea

[@snowfellwolf8280]

I think lahabrea is gonna be the final floor in some form or another or Athena probs!

[@yacket]

52:40 Sauron in the mist.

[@TheMidWave]

This tier is defiantly hinting towards something similar to Jenova.

[@gshimon]

im calling it already, panda 11 will be Eric and panda 12 will be Athena

[@chaosdragon5160]

Woops comment yes or no. Did you hear a raid boss music that goes *BIG FAT TACOS* *BIG FAT TACOS*
