Scream is the type of music that thousands would make AMVs to 20 years ago. Absolute certified banger.

2:42:58 Missive 1: To the Office of the Words of Lahabrea: It has come to my attention that the activities going on in Pandæmonium are causing excessive noise issues in Elpis. Several ongoing observations have been disrupted due to "deep rhythmic reverberations," and sounds that have been likened to a woman wailing. Consider this a formal warning. The source of that noise is to be taken care of immediately. If you are unable to ascertain the source of this noise, we would be happy to open up a formal investigation to determine that source, and provide assistance in stopping it. - Emet-Selch Missive 2: Whoever is singing that music in Pandæmonium should turn it up. That song *slaps!* - Azem

"Go get your rest" "OK I'm going to fight the Twelve brb"

2:50:30 Garrett: "Try spinning, that's a good trick." Hegemone: "Good idea, here you go."

2:47:58 Garret : "How far do we need to go?" Song : "Far away"

that animation though! this community has some amazingly talented people!

I remember laughing so hard when Fourchenault showed up and was like "why is it always you causing problems". He just can't get away from the annoying friend of his two children.

The funny thing is it was Athena's research that allowed the Ascians to be Ascians, spirits unbound to a physical form.

For the iCam focusing on Agdigstis's tree leaves, its because she shares the same skeleton model as Engels from the Copied Factory. His body and head would be there

I love that Kyle after asking "What was with Ascian Prime" for so long FINALLY got his lore.

When I met you at fanfest, I was cosplaying Athena wearing an “Etheirys Best Mom” shirt. I was a little worried about spoilers but figured guy in a room. 😂

If you check out the lyrics, Scream might be the darkest song in the series and I freaking love it.

3:24:30 The animation is simply sublime! 👌

"Is this what being current is like?" Yes, all the yes xD

Both the hippokampus and phoinix in asphodelos had relationships with the idea of resurrection, leading people to theorise at that time that Lahabrea's goal was resurrecting Athena. I have to appreciate the bait and switch from "I want to resurrect my pure angelic wife" to "I have to keep my demon wife dead"

Scream is definitely a track that immediately went into my workout playlist.

It is my headcanon that Azem of the time of Elpis was a particularly gifted practitioner of the Echo. So good that even we can get visions of battles where mistakes cause failure and help us with overcoming the threat (Echo Bonus) and we're just a fraction of our old soul. So Azem meets up with Venat, Azem discovers this 'familiar' and realizes it's a future copy of themselves and just goes 'That's awesome!'. And likely got a future Echo vision for Elidibus for their involvement in Pandemonium maybe because it involved 'themselves' in a sense.

Yes, waiting 8 months after that bombshell was brutal but I loved it. This has to be my favorite 8-man raid series in the game.

MUSIC TRIVIA TIME! The fight against Proto-Carbuncle plays the track "Silent Scream" which is an instrumental version of the following track. Which is "Scream" (that plays during the fight against Hegemone and Agdistis) and it features one of my more favoured bit of lyrics in this game "Buried alive - In the coffin of who I used to be". Just find it a cool line. And lastly (for the normal raids) is "Embers" that plays for the fight against Hephaistos which is an arrangement of a bunch of themes related to Lahabrea/the Ascians (notably "Without Shadow" aka the Ascian theme, "Thunderer" aka the Ascian/formidible boss theme and "Shadows Withal" aka the Akadaemia Anyder theme). Of further note, now that you have completed this wing of Pandaemonium, you will be able to purchase the Lahabrea Triple Triad Card from the Bicolor Gemstone merchant in Elpis... as long as you have the area's Shared FATE rank at 3 (which is also needed for the Hythlodeus card).

One of my favorite things about Scream is that the lyrics can totally be enjoyed as vaguely edgy moody metal stuff but if you look into it, it's _specifically_ written for the two bosses of the raid tier who were good people turned into monsters. "Buried alive/ In the coffin of who I used to be." Oof.

Late to the stream, but early for the VOD Squad whooo 🎉

Koji’s version of scream is on the forge ahead album so you can have both!

"You're about to get more Grinding Gear than ever before." Don't threaten me with a good time Sirs.

Really hoping they react to P8s Phase transition and music if they aren't gonna do the savage themselves one day, it's so sick

It was fun running P7-8 with you (Seiou Leon). I really appreciated Garrett noticing my Beauty and the Best inspired suit, I made it based around the suit I had made for my wedding which was even more inspired by Beauty and the Beast and the base outfit is from the Ceremony of Eternal Bonding. I might be able to get even closer when dual dye channels are available, I'll have to check it out then. I call the outfit I had on in P8 my "exotic dancer" outfit.

3:38:13 Forgot to comment when it was live, but my FC was laughing at my reaction to the timely platform return in P7N when we ran it for the first time. I was very loudly yelling: “HOW!? How!? How!?”

Oh dude, Garrett, you're absolutely right. This storyline is perfect to be set to "Lying from You"

Kyle's drip is peak space wizard.

After Fanfest's Primals concert, and how you guys were excited to find out what "the green song" was that got the whole place going nuts; I was thrilled to see you getting to this point.

The Abyssos tier on savage is my favorite out the of three.

Kyle is getting really good at reading mechanics, color me thoroughly impressed.

I'd been waiting for this since they said at Fanfest they really liked Scream but had no idea what it was about. Now they know :)

I love how this quest chain lets you hold a grudge.

Hello from work the following day! Thanks for the vod!

Wooo. VODSquad !!

Nooooo, I fell asleep like 30 seconds before the animation! I woke up the next morning and *died*. Hardest I've laughed in a long time!

When your friend says "Show me the feet" but all you can give them is an eyeful of bush.

Hemitheoi (plural) is hemitheos in singular, and splitting the word into hemi- and -theos shows us it basically means the same as “demi-god”, though it has a connotation of being false, fake, artificial.

Everyone says Scream makes them think of Evanescence, but it's 100% Icon for Hire to me.

GOD I love this raid tier.

The XIV animation team's evolution to seamlessly transform enemy models mid-combat without needing to resort to camera tricks is truly inspiring.

The FF5 Carbuncle is perfect for the "X as a boss, X when you get it" meme. It looked like that only in the fight in which you proof yourself worthy to him, but when you summon him, he looks small and cute and can exclusively cast reflect. Now that you're past all the points the video might spoil, you should check out Husky's "Final Fantasy XIV 10 Years Medley with 200 Musicians". Also Jessy's Endsinger vs Jailer video.

the Tree fight is my favorite.. because most of the difficulty is just Arena Awareness and Positioning XD

Vod Squad! o7 Going by Garrett's tweet, this should be a good one!

seeing chat spam "I'M IN THE GRAVE" when living dead failed was genuinely one of the funniest moments I've encountered this year. the increasing xeno crossover references have been amazing. also, as an avid numetal lover these raids are my JAM.

i appreciate azumi keep dying silly deaths just to make things harder every time so much thank you

As both a tank and a healer, I really loved the mechanics of Abyssos. Most people bitch about the TB poisons and such, but I loved that. I loved them using it to force actually mitting, swapping, doing the mechanics rather than just invuln. and done. I wished there was some more of that in the game. Pandaemonium was the first raid series I did the Savage for. Abyssos was my proper favorite tier overall. Asphodelos was a nice introduction to actually proper raiding for m. The third tier I enjoyed, but uh... P10S made me rage more than any fight in the entire game. I hated it. Not because it was a bad fight, but because it was 10 and not like... 11 or 12.... with the difficulty spike.

Man, I really want to run savage with them if they're doing it minilevel, no echo. Assuming they're doing savage. Loved the Scream reactions and Tuna becoming Carbuncle's dinner lol.

VOD Squad ahoy! On the one hand I have enduring Scream-related trauma from hundreds of wipes on p5s and p7s. On the other hand, both versions are still bangers.

I hope they watch jesse's theory video for the last pandemonium tier after they do the next part of the alliance raid. With Garret's hype about doing theory videos, I think he'll love to get a another taste of that vibe from that

"more Grinding Gear than you've ever gotten before"... don't threaten me with a good time

That tree boss is my favorite 💜

The Ancients Didn't Have Therapists: The Sequel.

Lahabrea #1!! My new favorite bit

Actually it was 8 months, since it was every OTHER patch for the raids.

Was that a Dashboard Confessional reference during Agdistis? "Your flare is everywhere"

Had to finish the VOD in the morning as I was passing out after boss 2! Great stream, is it Monday yet…?!

Please, someone make an edit of all the times Kyle said "gross" in this video, haha. He be liking Abyssos aesthetics xD.

2:22:14 obamaawardingobama.jpg

VOD gang!

4:54:58 funny donald duck glam

I will wait for your savagr run

Unfortunately, there's, like, a millisecond between activating a buff and it actually being applied. So it's possible to activate your invuln, die immediately, and still have it go on CD. It's very annoying.

Vodgang

4:48:50 I feel obligated to point out, we didn't sit on this for 4 months, we sat on this for 9 months, more than twice as long. you need to remember that the Normal raids and the alliance Raids alternate patch releases, so we waited 2 4.5 month long patchs to get the next chunk of this story 4:52:20 ah... I see someone mentioned it, but they were still off a month, because they are forgetting that patch cycles are now 4.5 months long instead of only 4 months like they used to be.

Wahabweah.

4 months? Nah, we had to wait 8 months

seeing P6N and P7N when you're used to the savage versions is very weird, thise fights are nothing alike in savage

Not 8 months, but 9 months, every patch wait for 19 weeks

Agdistis is so horrifying to me. Everything about the boss an the lemons with teeth. Horrible. vs me when the p8 music hits: 💃💃💃💃💃

Having an attack doesn't mean that's the type of Pokémon you are 😛 That's why STAB doesn't work on every single attack you have.

I can't see the feet theres too much bush

Oooooooooh Garrett kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9FgeZRqztbZm40.htmlsi=V8NKmUDztpaU73do

The last boss of this raid on EX had a little too much HP, making some party comps non-viable
