I love that Pandæmonium casts not just Ultima, but the FFII version of Ultima.

It's cool how elidibus has been the WoL, Zodiark himself, and our friend as well

I love that Pandæmonium's design is basically a Negative Alexander. It has the same spires and shoulder designs

Absolutely loved all four fights Easily my favorite of the three tiers and can’t wait to see what they do with savage

Visually and musically my favorite tier. Voice lines for all bosses, completely different arenas and themes, stunning animations.

It’s funny you mentioned Titania when seeing Athena’s boss form cause when I ran it last night the first thing someone in party chat said was “she looks like a biblically accurate Titania”.

Oh my god this tier is peak...whoever let CBU3 cook like this, let them do it again for 7.0 in it's entirety please. Plus all of the bosses are voice acted for the raid, theyre all unique in some aspect, AND WE FINALLY GOT TO SEE WHAT THE CONVOCATION'S SEATS LOOKED LIKE WITH A PRE SUNDERING AMAROUT?! ABSOLUTE PEAK

Funny enough in my 12 run we had just myself and a summoner up sitting around 15% and I covered them, died but he got the res off on a healer and the healer lb3, run was saved, got 7 comm for that :D

I always get a kick whenever an opponent likes to proclaim themselves as a god. Just want to respond with "Allow to introduce myself, I've been called many things. One of which is God Slayer."

Really looking forward to the tier. Love the fact that Kokytos gives a food check at the start of each attempt too.

BEST Final 4 raid tier since Omega and alexander I hope Senix keep doing this and not making the difficulty too easy, this is the perfect difficulty for both casual and hardcore

The music is epic, love the boss designs and mechanics. These are great, can’t wait to start savage next week

I can't wait for Husky to release just all the covers. This whole tier is amazing. Hell, this whole patch is great.

Damn that final track is like Gundam Wing. Love it.

I love that p11 ost is an instrumental of to the edge

These were all really fun and the music was great.

Soken just went "ooh a xylophone, ding ding ding ding ding"

I can imagine having one person with the web aoe tethering to the two back posts in order to make the web across to keep people from getting knocked off the edge during the headbutt portion.

Really enjoyed all four fights in this tier, should be fun to farm for a while. My DF party wiped first pull on Kokytus, can you guess to which mechanic?.... yeap they stacked the stacks xD

Anyone else notice the new mechanic language introduced in this patch? If a knockback is purple, you can't resist it.

Love that P10 is Greasy Alexander

22:30 "Just touchdown, I'm out!" rofl 31:12 I love how both the stack marker and the double tankbusters are light/dark motifs. 36:20 A test of your reflexes! /Zenos 38:12 Correction. Extremely chaotic add phase. ^.^

I'm really enjoying watching savage raiders wipe just as much as the rest of us did. 😅

Athena is going to be NUTTY on Savage. Happy if you're going for the the world's first week 1 clear, good luck sir! o7

In all honesty, I love all the raid fights for this patch, they're all quite fun and I can't wait to see what we get with Savage.

first time I ran p11 I said into voice chat "DAMMIT THEMIS DON'T SMILE LIKE THAT I DON'T WANNA CRY MID BEATING YOUR ASS" lol

P9/10’s song is giving me a mix or ghost in the shell and phantasy star online I hope I don’t get sick of it during prog

"What the hell is going on?" Sums up all 4 raids lmao. I really like them so far

the music was good, this was a very good tier. that first boss i had a moment of "Gollum?!" with the mage's lament. and i kept having to check my phone because there's a particular tinkling sound in the song that made me think i had an alarm going off. but such a good story.

Interesting that Themis has light and dark powers even before becoming Zodiark.

I don't want to speak too soon, but I think it's pretty obvious just from the normal modes which fight is going to be the pf wall this time around.

I can imagine the 3 wings flaring in 12 will be a cone or something in Savage, kinda like arena divided by 6 places, so upper left will do a cone from North to NW, and so on, and we would walk around.. Kinda like an upped version of 1 where the chains went from half room cleave to cones + in/out. It'll be chaotically fun

This tier is so good - music, boss models, fight arenas and designs. Also: aetherochemical research facility igyorm and lahabrea, A12 alexander, SoS warrior of light, ivallice high seraph, but distinct from the previous versions of the visual and fight motifs.

Insane music, voiced boss. Damn

Guy jumps off during P10. Boss: "Stay where you are!" Too late there bud.

This version of To the Edge gives Fire Emblem vibes. It's great.

Athena essentially taking the place of Light Emperor Mateus (much how Hephaestus was a nod to Hell Emperor Mateus) made me so happy as a fan of the Emperor. The Ancient Who Sold the World, indeed.

"I don't care if I get hit by ONE." Man I wish more people would understand this with circle AoEs. One is fine. Don't get Venn'd, but taking ONE is fine. Coming from a healer. (Apparently, anyways.. I do a lot more healing than otherwise these days..) Also I don't like P10 in particular for some reason.. maybe it's the aesthetic and color palette just being absolutely gross to me. But the rest of it, including the BGM, banger. One thing I noticed about it and do like about it, as I healed it, it deals an OBNOXIOUSLY large amount of damage for the stacks and the tumults. It's like 28k pulses on the tumults. Kind of wild.

The 1st boss looks like the batman who laugh

Anabaseios is Perfect Mr Happy. Hype to Savage, my Tank BIS full pentameld is ready \o/\õ/.

Did you just pass on everything on your genuine first runs? Lol goat.

So, the 9-11 song is pretty dope, but still not as good as scream. As a healer, I can say that the phase in 10th circle where he's bashing his face into the arena can catch you off guard your first time because it's definitely a step up from everything else up to that point. Also, happy says "oh cool more bleeds." whereas healers are crying at the prospect of back to back tiers with bleed heavy mechanics.

I loved how this tier felt like Eden's Promise normal, especially with p11 being basically e11. Can't wait for savage.

My cotank for P10 was terrible, he left the game mid pull at one point and that was the pull we cleared on. Took 6+ wipes for him to dip but we finally made it We had to DSR the Akh Buster (I told my friend in VC that the proper term was ‘Thunder buddies’) and sac someone to the tankbuster towers, but we made it. I think P10 is my favorite fight of the bunch because of that

So for trinity of souls on the small platform, you need to face her diagonally to create safe space?

Seeing the Samurai lb @31:35 just before lb3 filled 😢

Music has a very dot hack kinda vibe

I wish that I was able to play through this raid with sound.

This freakin raid tier is so freakin freakin good freakin my god. This whole patch has been like 9/10

These 4 fights were super fun. Hoping I can get a clear on all 4 once savage drops (tomorrow?)

Going into the themis fight, i couldn't help but think of xehanort

I understand that everyone was more than happy (and sad) to fight Themis, but then nobody noticed that his design is most likely based on Astaroth from FFII :'( (fitting since he's fought in Pandaemonium there)

Calling it now, Athena's a door boss

It's funny how depends on the team you may wipe on every boss for a few times x) We did wipe 3 times on last boss. Always both healers dead and no extra res.

the pling sound from p9 music reminds me of getting xp in minecraft

enough souls to fill a golden corral in Texas I can't XD

Idk why, but Pandaemonium's face reminds me of Mr. Freeze from Batman 90's animated series.

Best way I can describe this whole raid series is mommy issues with EDM

I mean, no normal mode has ever hurt as much in history of normal mode fights as the 9th heal check, I too, did not use any GCD heals and failed the heal check the first time around

i got cult of the lamb vibes from the first boss theme

Only finished P9 so far, but damn what a fight! 10, 11, and 12....I'm coming for you this afternoon 😃

How do you have only your name be a certain color like that in battle?

your first P10 run was like exactly what I lived too. everyone dead in 30 seconds. then clear on second pull

P10 traumatized members of my party with design alone

how does happy play this zoomed in

Imagine dying to a mechanic from Dun Scaith. That's why you don't intentionally force crystal tower

Is Keita Amemiya the character design for this tier, all bosses kinda reminded me of his previous works

Does anyone know what top was happy using?

The second boss with the spider webs was so confusing on my first run. Too much information and no idea what the game wanted me to do. "Okay I'm spreading... but I'm seeing all these tethers going from me to other players... but wait, it's tethering to these poles too? Do I want to go near the poles or the players? What do these tethers even mean? There's a yellow triangle on the pole? Maybe I do need to go to the poles...?" "Okay so now I'm hit and i'm stuck to this pole. How come me and this other guy are the only ones who are stuck? The other folks didn't get stuck, did they do it wrong? Did we? Okay, a stacking debuff, I'm getting hurt, but I can't get out of it. I can still attack though?... Do I need to attack the pole to get out? ... No, I can't target it. I'm at 4 stacks of this debuff... and I'm dead..." *brain fucking melts*

The only fight I didn't like this tier is P10, specifically the spidersilk mechanic. I feel like the savage version of this fight will be awful if it's just a bunch of those webbing mechanics.

Im just really disapointed in the Armor sets. Totally not what i would have expected to be in this final Tier. And i dont mean that they dont have the crazy effects like Abyssos ones. They are just... boring. And i also dont think they fit this Raid at all. Asicians, Madness, Science, imprisonment, mythical beasts, these are the themes overall. How does Shining Knights with Chrystal fall into this? They dont. The only connection for this is the Location of where we are, but thats sooo weak.

is it just me or does the p11 song sounds like you playing a game in haikyuu

What in the Shin Megami Tensei was that?

Happy: "it's kind of hard to see." Yeah, it sure as fuck is. Gave myself a headache squinting so hard throughout the entire 4th fight, and when we finally cleared (after 2 healer lbs), I was so dizzy I had to step away. I'm really getting sick of fights where the most difficult mechanic is just seeing what the hell is happening because of the arena.

I love this music ! And first time hearing the English voice for this boss 😅i like the jp better

Elidibus? more like Elidaddy

I did this first thing as soon as servers went up. I play RDM and on Athena... On the 2nd floor fall segment, both tanks and a healer are down along with a DPS... But now a healer is taking autos and goes down fast... But I play RDM... nothing unusual for me... I start chain raising and staying calm... Except then by the time I've got my 3rd raise cast and before anyone has accepted... the other DPS jump... and then I'm like... I'm committed... I wanna 1 shot this, and I'm NOT gonna stop raising now... I get 6 people back up before I'm outta MP. We proceed to make a full recovery and clear on a first attempt.

25:30 exCUSE ME??

i just willingly spoiled myself in watching the fights, but now i don't fear them so i'm looking forward to seeing the story and how and why we end up fighting these 4 XD

9:15

The sound mix for thr last boss is so bad.They need to turn up her voice quite a bit.

I love the fights but i hate the music , previous tier was better music wise

Why does he play zoom in

Its always fun to watch NA struggle with simple stuff xD

this also doubles as a guide too 👌✨️ P9 arena visuals are so beautiful Love P10 arena mechanics so much, web bridge side panels yesss P12 atmosphere🌟💜🌟

Unpopular Opinion: the fights this tier were so boring to execute,like wtf way too easy the normal version, bosses had like 2 attacks, a couple of variations on said attacks, and that's it. Music saved the tier for me,tho i kinda miss Scream
