Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail OST - Final Boss Theme (SPOILERS)

Phase 1 despite being a super intense version of Alexandria's theme embodies a sense of sadness with more orchestral instruments and choir at times which is a perfect fit for Sphene's plight on her end as she embodies both a desire to save her people from past (orchestra) and present (techno) Phase 2 being a so much more grandiose version of the main theme with it's orchestra and rock instrumentation is a perfect fit for Wuk Lamat standing up to Sphene as a wake-up call and still doing everything in her power to show her that the now can be better than she thinks. Kinda makes it being a victory lap theme alot more morbid

Probably one of the most enjoyable fights to date. I genuinely can't wait for the EX version.

That moment when the battle theme kicks in in phase 2 is absolute perfection

I didn’t even get far enough to hear like 3 quarters of the second phase theme lmao

I dunno why, but this sounds like something that would play in the next Super Smash Bros finale for whatever adventure mode it'll be.

loved this so much 💖💜💛

A great end to a great expansion only complaint was the Wipe out section but party was popping off everytime someone died to is so not too bad

I just finished DT and as cheesy as the message was, the music was kickass from start to finish. I felt this pretty close to Amarot personally which is what hurt my heart. Def didnt expect my vacation to turn into another world saving adventure

Just noticing that the baseline in parts of phase two has the same notes as the Typhon theme in ff16

4:43 PERFECTION.

makes me think of undertale and i mean that as a high compliment, undertale's OST was bangin'

This was a fun fight. What was most funny was that on my first go, at the phase 2 only 2 tanks (me and other player) were left alive. And we brought her from ~40% to 0. Other people were like "oh no, tanks are at it again", but as fight progressed and we kept going, those exhasperated sighs of people wasting their time, have changed to legit cheering as we got further and further. Nothing makes you feel like you're achieving something when it's only 2 of 8 people standing and against all odds, you clear fight. So music was very, VERY fitting the moment.

Story wasn't my cup of tea but This boss has my favorite design of any boss, I felt like I was thrown back into chrono trigger and was back in a modern take of a 1995 classic <3. I didn't care for the phase 2 theme as much I felt it took me out of the fight but the phase 1 theme was very fitting if they ever brought back the Chrono series IP back I could see it being a theme in it for sure.

Second phase doesn't match the tone of the fight since it's an extremely tragic moment that's the culmination of a woman desperately trying to keep the memory of her people from a doomed world alive. Not sure what they were going for here. Is it because Wuk is here? Are we supposed to be hyped by the entrance of the most obnoxious character since what they did to Lyse? Edit: a typo lol

Phase 2 just ruined the fight imo.

This expansion was painfully mid but at least the songs were bopping, definitely was not expecting breakcore.

Prob the only final boss theme so far I will NOT go back to visit much. Huge flop this xpac

This is a bemani boss track
