"Who's the final boss of the Endwalker expansion?" "Literally everyone"

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.

"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.

When my friends dragged me through it the day of release, I had no idea it would end this way. That, and the tankbusters would instantly delete this one drk we had in another alliance every time.

The boss' lines for this were so good. "Shine like the stars on high..."

I think as a whole the music doesn’t go as hard as In The Balance, but the 0:39 renditions of “A New Dawn” track from ARR with all the fights during the Alliance Raid goes SOOOOO HARD, it gave me insane chills watching the trailer. I liked this one the most visually and gameplay wise, Agalia from the music as a whole, and then Euphrosayne wasn’t bad!! Still top 3 alliance raids in the game (all from EW but shhhh) just the Dedicated To Moonlight and Rhytem of the Heavens are just solid

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.

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. And since my character had such a connection, it made me a bit sad by proxy. 😆

@@RaideDuku yeah my bun from Sharlayan is a very devout follower of Thaliak (she has a necklace with his symbol on it that she has not taken off since her 18th birthday) so she definitely did not take having to help end him well at all, she had to go on a camping trip out to Thavnair to process it all and cry while her brother did all the 6.5 patch stuff up to Zeromus (she'd promised him she'd come heal for that lol)

Pandemonium had its fun fights, but I cant help but wonder what the raid tier would like if it was the twelve. I would probably have more fun with this fight in savage than p12 lol

I love that pandemonium and myths of the realm are both references to Dante's divine comedy

This fight was so fun them music was great and the boss design was beautiful I really loved it❤

this was so damn good😭

prolly not the place to ask but the ending made me think- when unsundered ancients who have returned to the lifestream (i.e. the twelve, emet-selch, hythlodaeus) are reborn, will their souls remain unsundered? they're fucking huge, imagine having to give birth to baby byregot and then he starts creating things with his mind.

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. sundered souls will most likely follow what their previous unsundered version does, a clear example being azem and their sundered shards.

logically I believe all the dead join together in a universal goo inside the aetherial sea, then used as fuel for new life to come, so I think they are not reborn 1:1 but newly born creatures can carry fragments from the aether of the dead didnt check if this was 100% canon, this is just how it makes sense to me

I believe this was answered in a panel, one of the writers just mentioned that since u sundered people hadn't died in recent times they hadn't thought about it. But if they had to guess, they'd just be reborn as normal people with quite a high and above average aether manipulation skills.

I still can't belive that this is an MMO

I crIED SO MUCH WITH THIS LAST SERIES OW MY HEART 😭

The interlude with the bells is brilliant

Fun fact: while Eulogia just seems to mean the word "eulogy" in English, it actually has a unique meaning in the Ancient Greek that it stems from -- "a blessing" :)

It was awesome battling and conversing with my patron Menphina in this expansion! This was an awesome send off for the 12!

what a wild fight

What a banger. What a story! What an amazing raid series! I loved everything.

While waiting for a duty pop, I often just sit around Oschon's Embrace and look for players who had just completed the raid, because they need a godsdamn /hug.

I did not expect a boss whose name means "Blessing" in Greek

in all my years as a Final Fantasy fan, this might be the Most Final Fantasy Thing I've ever seen (affectionate)

I adore this track. 0:32 to 0:55 gives me chills.

Even when this doesnt have much vocals like the first two. This music hits really hard more than it is after you completed the quest

Glorious. That’s all I can see with the fight and the music….. Glorious… to the point of in tears. A final farewell. A complete opposite of Circle 12’s false goddess Athena. Bravo once again FFXIV!!! The adventure continues!!!

They were training us to fight them all fused together.

Thanks for sharing this; I could not hear the music over the din of everyone using all the abilities.

So glad i rolled a 99 on this orch roll my first run

They're.... They're BEAUTIFUL!!! T_T

At first I didn't liked this boss much. But then it struck that this fight is more of a dance/ victory lap for your journey with the gods and the triumphant soundtrack just adds a cherry to the top

I knew what they were doing, and so badly did I want to stop. I didn't want them to go. Each fight made me regret picking up the quest, but it had to be done. Like Venat... they needed their rest. It hurt me deep inside.

I see a lot of people complaining about this music but I really don't get it. I mean, I wish they did a song for Oschon too but having something like what Menphina or Nald'Thal had wouldn't make sense for the combined Twelve. I really really like this theme, it's suitably climactic and the way it works in musical motifs is beautiful. Like that bit where the main Final Fantasy theme lines up in gameplay with them throwing out all the raidwides during Eudaimon Eorzea, that shit rules. I don't get the hate for this raid in general really! Maybe I'm biased because I joined in 6.1 and was unsubbed for a lot of the droughts this content cycle, but I think it holds up with the other ARs perfectly fine. In fact I honestly prefer rolling Myths in the Realm in my alliance roulette compared to something like Paradigm's Breach. Those fights are super cool and maybe more mechanically involved but they just take so much longer to the point I'm not appreciating the spectacle anymore and am kinda just waiting for the boss to die.

This fight had me thinking of FF13, music included

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

One criticism is somewhat of a spoiler: It should have been harder. The final boss should have had combos with the different attacks. Like the moonlight attack with spear thrusts meaning you have to run toward the boss rather than just simply running normally. Or Byregot hammer with Rhalgr fist attack. Idk some combos to really test your memory and make it not easy.

@Danothyus1

I agree with you, it was cool that the entire fight is a call back to all the twelve, but they should had done more with the combinations. They should had at least made that each set of gods would had some mechanics combination (Byregot and Rhalgr, Azeyma and Nald'thal, etc)

Would have loved the finishing hit of Eudaimon Eorzea needing tank LB3. It would be a fitting testament to the strength of hopes and prayers the Twelve have amassed over the eons.

I'm just glad I was able to die at all in this fight in the ones before it I was basically collecting vuln stacks and not dying kinda feel like over compensation for the nier raids where a few mechanics would just 1 shot you if you mess them up

I think it’s at a good difficulty. Yes, it would be cool if it was harder, but my friends and I got pretty messed up on our first run, so I’m not complaining too much

Dear Soken, Miss even once. Sincerely, The Laws of Probability

After running this a second time last night I gotta say it’s my absolute favourite of all 3. It was fun, the music gave me chills and the whole area was just stunning. I’m not sure if it’s tops Tower at Paradigm but it’s definitely in my top 5.

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

I was calling it from the get go that the Twelve would use Super Polymerization to fuse together and we’d have to deal with ALL of their mechanics. I didn’t know how right I was…. I certainly was not prepared to say goodbye in this way. All of their attacks, all of their feelings, even the call back with ARR in the song. Every bit of this was just the final loose ends being tied up from this amazing book we’ve all been a part of. Now we set sail on a brand new book

ironic, since the circumstances are awfully similar.

This final fight was/is everything I wished for and more. It's by far the best fight I've ever experienced in any fantasy story driven video game. This expansion and it's fights have been a real treat. I can't wait for DawnTrial!
