[@Sir.Cavalcante]

Did anyone else notice something similar to the Azem Symbol on top of the Dimension Key in the last cutscene before the trial opens?

[@bugman7starsifu]

Yep. I feel this is going to be a major part of the story arc moving forward. Still wondering who or what will actually be the constant threat looming over the next few expacs.

[@vaan_]

the rock inside is 100% auracite, they brought back that plot point on the last raid tier just like they did aloalo on 6.5, they were writing those pieces of content in tandem with dawntrail msq I'd say Ultima, or whatever her kind is, is the "new big bad" but we'll have to see

[@DreadKyller]

"Similar to", no, that wasn't "similar" it was exactly the Azem symbol. Which is an interesting connection because it ties the artifacts powers of dimensional manipulation to the same sort of power used by us to summon helpers from other worlds. Makes me wonder if a prior incarnation of one of Azem's shards was involved in the creation of the artifact, and maybe the reason they were never able to fully utilize it's powers is because the one who opened the initial gate like us was a shard of Azem and capable of invoking it's power.

[@ArtyMartyD]

I didn't but my partner did... Must be connected

[@arthurmussi9897]

Am i the only one that thinks the preservation was actualy ascians or that it was created and overseen by an ascian

[@TheImaggine]

The key... it's azem's making... The goblet of Azem.

[@NeoDMC]

"WOL DID YOU PUT YOUR SYMBOL ON THE GOBLET OF AZEM!?!?!?!?!?!", Hades asked calmly.

[@NeroLucifarious]

Hades: What is that? Azem: a cup.... Hades: *stares angrily* Azem: that fuses stuff. Hades: WHY!?

[@tyrusdalet]

Goblet of Azem just reminded me of something… the Dawn Throne in the Azimme Steppe. It looks like a goblet with hands reaching up to grab it

[@scrapyardsatyr4427]

My group immediately wiped from the first suction, which we learned is an insta-kill if you get pulled in

[@Oizys0miseria]

The Azem symbol on the Key/Cup is so interesting, since it implies that Azem was doing stuff for a LONG TIME after the Sundering. I wonder if Azem was in the process of trying to do a Rejoining but without causing calamity. Or were they actively fighting against the Rejoining, and was trying to find safe harbor for the Shards, especially after the creation of the Void. It implies that during Alexandrias destruction, that someone came and helped them escape. One thing thats always made me wonder, is that we start the game on the cart. We arent from a town, we arent from anywhere, we just show up. So is it possible Azem was whole for a long time, but eventually got split. Is the "Key" actually auracite? Does that mean Azem is in there, or that when auracite is used, it doesnt just absorb the entire person, but instead splits them? Is auracite a substance that is also "Sundered" and so anything put within it that is not, becomes so? Alot of weird stuff nevertheless, but im glad theyre telling us they arent done with Azem

[@NeroLucifarious]

Except we know azem didnt take sides and was sundered with the rest.

[@Oizys0miseria]

@@NeroLucifarious Previous Sundered Ascians regain knowledge and memories of their past self. Especially if Azem has some ability to "fuse" things together, its possible shards of Azem are reconstituting, and theres a 4/12 shards Azem walking around. Remember, we fused with Ardbert, which otherwise shouldn't be possible, so potentially one of the Azems went to the Shards facing destruction in order to save themselves and refuse together.

[@NeroLucifarious]

@@Oizys0miseria except no they dont. They need either someone awakening the memories like gaia. Or the crystals of The convocation that the unsundered handed to their recruits

[@Oizys0miseria]

@@NeroLucifarious Okay, but we didnt get it until Elidibus gave it to us. There literally no reason to believe it wasnt in possession of someone prior

[@NeroLucifarious]

@@Oizys0miseria elidibus didnt give us anything. Emet left the crystal behind and the copy of hythlo gave it to us. Emet made our crystal cause our unsundered self left the convocation in disagreement for the zodiark plan, thus azem didnt get to make a memory crystal and emet made it in secret with azems signature magic

[@justaman4887]

Wuk's voice acting caught me by surprise thank god i play with Japanese voices

[@zeroblade9800]

FInished it today. They cooked so hard with these dungeons and trials, All top tier for me

[@GorehowlBeardhead]

I like how everyone has the exact same face in that intermission :|

[@joncross9264]

Holy shit you guys don't sleep. Good on you though. I'm going to run the game at my own pace lol.

[@kappawei8768]

09:50This is why I used Japanese vioce

[@BeeLightning]

And it’s sooooooooooo much better Like holy shit it’s not even close

[@Ruzgfpegk]

[@Naoto-kun1085]

Her English voice actress did a great job

[@RaizerSkybreaker]

@@Naoto-kun1085 it was pretty mid, not bad though, but nothing impressive.

[@knightsolaire5351]

@@RaizerSkybreakerthe voice director is very obviously at fault here. THANCRED sounds like he has a completely different VA on his first few lines of dialogue. Wuk lamat has plenty of great voice acting segments but a weird bit in the finale because she wasn’t given proper context or told to re-record it.

[@deriklarue8433]

Just got to this battle. Seems like a lot of mechanics for normal mode.

[@royox]

It's the final boss of a JRPG, did you expect a happy walk in the park? At least it was WAY easyer than Shinryu.

[@PianoMatn]

Endsinger was much more interesting Story-wise but I like this Boss bc her mechanics are cool and unique.

[@sildra4755]

I love how you died the exact same 3 ways I did with the walls and then the stack marker

[@leo30143]

9:51 when the VA said it, I really felt the pressure of the situation /s

[@Teramoix]

Wuk Lamat showing up to steal our thunder really fucking killed this fight for me

[@HandlesAreStupid2024]

this , 1000%

[@thebigidea9659]

Seriously?! The final boss? Is the main scenario story really short?

[@idowhatiwant3557]

He skipped everything and rushed here to try and make another one of his really shitty guides.

[@thepharmercy3139]

it's 30+ hours which is more like pre-Endwalker/SHB.

[@idowhatiwant3557]

@@RandomFlask175 I'm good, how are you?

[@cr082080]

That trial was so cool till they ruined it by having her get the nine tails.

[@omniburrito]

I loved this boss, super fun and cool. atleast until Wok Lameass showed up.

[@vincentbeton]

That Finale is a bit of a shame. The wanted to give us another Endsinger Final Phase but for some reason exactly here the Voice Acting sounds terrible...when you least would want it

[@raulmaltrain6893]

that's what happens when wuk sounds like a dude pretending to be a lioness... checked the jp and french VA and they nail this part.

[@Zephhi]

I literally switched to Japanese audio and I think I'll do that from here on because god damn Wuk Lamat is not very good. JP is just overall better in general, they put way more emotion into it

[@atelierbagur3831]

​@@Zephhijapanese VA sucked, the french VA is better

[@Zephhi]

@@atelierbagur3831 Sucked? I can see if you do not personally think it's that great but it's certainly decent at worst

[@atelierbagur3831]

@@Zephhi i was actually kidding, I havent heard the japanese VA. Just that the French VA for many of the characters sound so good to me

[@TheRealJonster]

Sheesh. Seems like I made the right call to skip on Dawntrail. This Wuk Lamat VA would drive me to play in another language, also the whole setup of Dawntrail seems way under cooked. Maybe next expansion 🤷‍♂

[@xalmor6044]

It's not just that VA, it's the whole character and the story. It's FAR worse than StB, and i'd say had less thought put into it than ARR.

[@jenechek]

@@xalmor6044 It’s not worse at all, people are nitpicking. Yeah, DT story have some significant flaws...just like the story in other addons. The pacing is much better than in HW/ShB. Let be real, all this hate for the DT plot is mostly due to the fact that he was unlucky enough to be after EW. Despite the fact that EW is glued together from two addons, with a noticeable (but who cares) seam.

[@YourEverydaySheep]

@@xalmor6044 ngl I thought the story was pretty good past the halfway point. The first half wasn't paced well and a lot felt like filler but it really picked up later on. It's for sure better than StB

[@JinTekyta]

@@xalmor6044 I really enjoyed the story. It's a good point for a fresh start of an Arc, I don't really see the issue with Wuk Lamat's VA. I don't get the disatifaction, it's like people expected Dawntrail to be EW2 when it was marketed to be anything but.

[@benjimaxbobjohn]

@@xalmor6044 what's wrong with her VA
