Idk if I'd call it a mess but I agree with the overall sentiment :P

The hole, it's clearly made for me I belong in there

As someone who picked up NGS as a downtime game, OH HI DARK FALZ SOLUS FANCY SEEING YOU HERE

I said this about Endsinger, I need to keep my expectations low.

I wish the EX fight start with boss slapping the escaped Wuk Lamat aside and now it's our turn to shine)

@@Arsvargthat would be funny. Totally unnecessary for Wuk Lamat to insert herself here

Sphene thisnisnt you 😢​@@Arsvarg

@@Arsvarg Since Ex-Trials are a retelling of events to make us seem more heroic, it would be funny if the Wandering Minstrel is like "Wait so Wuk Lamat was the one who saved you, and defeated the Eternal Queen? Hmm, don't think the fans back in Eorzea will care for that, better to just have you be the star like always WoL." Sort of a reference to the reception Wuk Lamat has gotten from the playerbase (since she also isn't that popular in Japan).

Sucks it's only for like 5 seconds though, should be a lot cooler in EX

The music is unlikely to be any different. It isn't usually.​@@apanofbread

@@PlusOne2CritI think they mean phase 2 will last longer in EX

@@PlusOne2Crit i’m still holding onto my Thordan EX induced hope for there to be unused themes used as EX themes, but reuse of a beta theme hasn’t happened since Revenge Twofold in 3.4

Yeah it kicks hard but its too short. I was surprised that the song is longer than the one for P1. This and the fact that ph2 is just dodging super easy mechanics, i guess for the cinematic experience.

Phase 2 dies way too fast.

Yeah lol. Didn't expect it to be quite long. Usually those 2nd phase themes are much shorter. A pleasant surprise from the sound team

Yeah as usual Wuk Lamat comes in kills the vibe, ruins the experience. She literally starts chunking the boss for like 10% of its life at a time. The group could literally afk in phase 2.

@@nikitapigusov2849 It's still too fast. Like, Endsinger's phase 2 lasted just long enough so that you could hear one full loop of the P2 BGM before she dies, and this has been consistent every time I've run that fight. Not only did we get to hear the entire BGM in this video, but we also actually got to see that the ENTIRE second phase is designed to line up with the soundrack perfectly, enhancing the entire thing. It's very clear to me that we're *supposed* to see this entire second phase, she's supposed to survive that long. Which means she's SEVERELY undertuned, the players already do enough DPS to kill her consistently within like 30 seconds of P2 starting. As cool as I thought this fight was, it's clear to me that it would be SOOOO much better if they just gave Queen Eternal significantly more HP. I *want* this fight to last longer than it does, most people probably agree. And that's honestly the best kind of complaint you can have about a boss, I think. "It's so awesome that it ends too soon" lol

I’m not sure if I’m hearing things but I feel like makers ruin is written all over this track

​@@shinyhero306 I have yet to hear it myself but I've seen others say that same so I doubt you're hearing things, plus it's a final boss theme so it wouldn't surprise me.

"Spheeeeeeen" Wuk Lamat whispered gently while rushing with her axe for the final fight.

YES !

Makers ruin? Idk

@@shinyhero306 It's DT's overworld battle theme. Just a 1000* more violin. And epic.

and people wonder why healers feel unneeded with the tanks so unkillable (at least in normal contents)

Surprised nobody reported you for griefing. 40 to 0 is a massive dick move just to stroke your own ego lmao

@@NewWorldF00l its more like 10-20% honestly, wuk lmao does more damage in that short victory lap than anyone in the party does throughout the entire fight

me and another tank ended up almost doing this too but we decided to reset because there were new players and we wanted to let them play too

as a healer main it both annoys me and takes stress off. It also make me feel better when like I did this fight both of us healers died and there were no RDM or SMN to pick us up... we ended up wiping but at least we got to see a few more mechanics.

Makes more sense if you see this fight (and the second phase) as two reflections fighting for survival Also why tf does everyone hate Wuk so much?? She ain't the greatest, granted, but she's not half as bad as everyone make her out to be. Maybe I like her more bc I was playing with JP voices, so she felt more like a shounen protagonist, but still. Lyse was so much worse

@@Sylfposts overexposure. She was glued to your hip for 95% of the expansion, and a lot of character development for other characters fell by the wayside in favor of more Wuk Lamat screentime. I don't dislike her character, but they really needed to give other people the spotlight because every time Wuk Lamat showed up her presence suffocated everyone else.

@@magicman25103 Yeah, fair point I guess. At least Krile and Erenville still got proper screentime in the last area, but I wish we'd seen more of other characters (e.g. Koana and Bakool Ja Ja)

@@magicman25103 Yah agreed, I feel like Krile really should've been the focal character of this expansion, Wuk Lamat would've been better as a recurring support character similar to what Hien was back in SB.

​@@Sylfposts She's hated because she's boring and unneeded. Lyse at least was a fun character before they ruined her. Wuk was never fun: She's just a screenhog and doesn't deliver at all. She even gets "rifts in reality" so she can be present over characters that have been built for 10 years. She simply doesn't compare. It's no wonder she didn't place in the top ten in the popularity poll. A character who'd been around for a week beat her lol. The two reflections take just supports my point even more. We're sources over thrice rejoined: she had no chance against us from the start. A desperate machine with stolen memories made to persevere until she bleeds the universe dry. Meanwhile the Wuk song is like, a happy go lucky combo song instead of something tone appropriate. It's just not it for me no matter how you slice it

Thankfully Ex version won't have it lmao

I thought it was awesome

@@MrCrimsonMaster How do you know it won't be?

@@aishisufuyu5961it usually isn’t when it comes to cinematic sections like this. Wuk lamat literally kills the boss for you, you really think that’ll be in the extreme?

You know it’s always the last comment that has the most random and hottest take

Wuk Lamat ruins everything. She's the worst, lol

The JP dub tho is really nice in that part

First part wasn’t bad and the second part was looking good since we explored with erenville but then wuk took the spotlight again and i thought maybe we’d give Krile more attention but nope wuk again which sucks cause the character isn’t bad just forced on to moments that other characters should’ve had the spotlight again

@@neonx6202 Yeah, I wanted more of Krile's story elaborated on but no Wuk Lamat has to take the spotlight. DT would have been so much better without Wuk Lamat.

nah
