    EW's raids run complete opposite ends with their final bosses. Eulogia is a loving god made of multiple people, who adore all their children, and willingly die to return to the lifestream just to help them more.
    Meanwhile Athena wants to BE a god, caring for no one but herself, and will kill everyone to become it - even spitefully attempting to destroy the lifestream when defeated. EW really shows the difference what love and believing in others changes in people, whether here or Zero & Golbez.

      It's a fun parallel with Dante's Divine Comedy. Myths of the Realm represents Paradiso, the MSQ represents Purgatorio and Pandaemonium represents Inferno. Goblez' original name, Durante, is even Dante Alighieri's (assumed) real name - hence why the tomestones are Tomesones of Comedy.

      EW MSQ Spoiler
      And Durante in the end was not a real bad person, he feelt guilty for losing his best friend and Hero the real Golbez (how was maybe also a Part of Azem?) and in his try to honor the legacy of his lost friend he got tricked from the ascians to cause the Flood of Darkness.. in the end he dont want really to be a conquerer but im sure it is a mix of guilt, shame and lost hope.. he was in the end. "Just fuck it.. i just want my people the Salvation of death to escape the Hell that _I_ create even if i must conquer a other World." because he didnt believe that is not longer possible to save the 13th.. until Zero proves him wrong.
      He sufferd terrible for his sins and now try to use his second chance

    This boss’s ultimate attack is Eudaimon Eorzea.
    In the Greek term, a “daimon” is a magical being or thing that gives, provides, or distributes something. “Eudaimon” specifically would refer to good things; happiness and joy.
    So their final attack could be read as “Eorzea, The Bringer of Joy”. Fitting for the happiness they felt in their work; and the gift they want to give in return.

    Thaleia was some of the first content I ever got played on release. I love this raid series so much; definitely made me cry. plus as as someone who picked Oschon as a deity, I thought he was soooo cool. I know everyone says these raids are too easy, and yeah that's true, but this will probably always be up there with Ivalice as my favorite alliance raid series.

    Not gonna lie, I don't think anyone could come up with a better way to end such an amazing storyline. This was, at least in *_my personal opinion,_* a perfect conclusion to the Myths of the Realm storyline and the story of the Ancients in its entirety.
    And in light of all that hate and disappointment that's been directed towards the game as of late, I feel the need to make something clear. This game is a Final Fantasy game first, and an MMO second. The story is this game's true heart and soul and the _real_ reason why this game is as universally beloved as it is now. And this is something people really do need to understand nowadays. You're always free to offer your own opinions on the subject, and as Yoshi-P himself said at one point, if you ever find yourself feeling bored with this game, then just go play another. The world of Etheirys will always be waiting for you to come back. It may be a simple answer, but sometimes simple is best. For my part, I've still got a boatload of other things to play during those lulls where there isn't much else to do, so... there you have it.

      "The world of Etheirys will always be waiting for you to come back."
      will it, though?
      FF XIV may be a Final Fantasy game, but it is still an MMO.
      and every MMO has an expiration date.
      besides, what is even left at this point to come back to?
      the Garlean Empire, the Primals, the Ascians, Zodiark and Hydaelyn, the Twelve...all of it's been explored, demystified, and destroyed in that order.
      all that remains is a shadow of a world that has nothing left to offer except a soulless postmodern "fantasy" world that is rapidly casting off the shroud of Tolkienism that has until now disguised it's lack of substance beyond the narrative.
      maybe it'd be better if this was *the* conclusion.
      maybe it'd be better if this journey finally came to an end.

    It should have been harder. The final boss should have had combos with the different attacks.

Idk some combos to really test your memory and make it not easy.

    I dont care how much some people try to say this was bad, this was my favorite raid series. Where as the others either had good mechanics but lack interesting visuals and story, or good story but unfun mechanics or visuals, this raid had a great story, great music and visuals, and the mechanics were fun even if easy sometimes. Don't need mechanics to be Thunder God Day-One levels of unbalanced difficulty to be fun and frankly I find these mechanics better then NieR, Void, Crystal, and the first two tiers of Ivalice, minus math boss and Yizmat, they are the exceptions in that list.
    Edit: Also we found the Promises to Keep of the expansion. Also lets salute the 3d modeler, background artists, and VFX artist for this fight because damn. This boss looked like it was doing an Ultimate Enrage during the ultimate attack.

The visuals, the story, the beauty, the bosses being so animated. It was a spectacle in each of these raids. Everything was pleasing to the eye. I get some of the mechanics were easy but the mechanics were still very fun to do. I rather do a dance that is fun and pleasing to the eye even if its easy. Like I have never gotten bored of doing any of these raids more than once and I always turn up the music for them. They captured the essence of what they were going for with this raid series.

      its still pretty much unconfirmed but they are very likely to be sundered and split into shards like us do, although seeing as emet and hyth are there to help us during our final moments, i assume that they can decide whether or not they want to be reborn or not. elidibus chose to do it so we might see him in the future.

He's a big follower of Nymeia, keeping a "lucky gil" (the face on gil is Nymeia) that he'd flip when he has to make a decision that either choice doesn't have any obvious benefits or drawbacks over the other (treasure dungeon doors are a good example), trusting The Spinner to guide him true. So having to end her, along with the rest of the Twelve would've messed him up a bit, probably would have to had taken a week off adventuring just to parse the whole thing.

    Honestly, the beginning is the best part because you can hear the start of the credits and that was absolutely glorious

    I still can't belive that this is an MMO

    Is it… possible that there are exactly 12 distinct vocalists for this piece?? 😮

    This fight had me thinking of FF13, music included

    Gdi I dont think I've teared up during an alliance raid story til now :'( The ARR ending theme Dawn of a New Era and classic FF leitmotifs are stronk. Unfortunate my deity Nymeia felt underrepresented but glad I got to see her and the twelve in their glory. Having the final boss named Eulogia after Eulogy as well, their love for mankind and their parting words... what a send off fitting of Endwalker
    also appreciated finding out about the original 12 Ancients the Twelve is based on, how fitting they went like Venat in tearjerking farewells

    Does anybody know if the melody from the first 25 seconds is a motif from somewhere else? I recognise everything else in the song, but that start just feels familiar in a way I can’t place... This song has me so emotional LOL it might be something obvious that I’m too weepy to recognise

      Return of the Hero, it's a common refrain here and there throughout the game.

    that opening to the fight had me thinking it was a nod to FFXI’s rhapsodies final boss and I got all giddy
