Actual quote from me in party chat when this track started: “This music is unfair how am I supposed to see mechanics through my TEARS!!!!!!!!”
It’s like if wol and dadcred had an edgier baby
I can't fight you through all these tears, Elidibus, but I will damn well try
Neath Dark Waters ; u;
Is it just me or is "Close the Distance" mixed in to this? I swear I can hear parts of it
The rain have ceased…
Thinking how this is the third and most likely final time we fight Elidibus, it's really emotional. You've known him since ARR and then you fight him in his boss fight and then understand what he's been through. This theme is like the finale version of "To The Edge" ( Seat of Sacrifice theme ). It's a song that tells us that Themis is done with his duty and that this is his farewell not as the guy who tried to stop you and destroy all the reflections, but as a friend. It really did put a tear in my eye. Farewell, Themis.
PLEASE KEEP REARRANGING THIS SONG IDC IF IT DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE TO. JUST HEARING THE FIRST NOTE IS ALWAYS ENOUGH TO GET ME EMOTIONAL
This is the kind of song that gives me an impression that we are just sparring with a dear old friend while having laughs and fun in between.
best tune, need it soo bad!
This part 2:20 is like the "Finale" of a magical girl's fight lol
The theme gives off a battle between a good friend vibes.
Definitely think Square knew that people were curious about Themis' transformation and threw us a bone with this fight lmao
One thing I love is how his stack marker mechanic is the same as Zodiark's. Nice little callback to his eventual role.
Oh nice, I use the same top and hat combo for my healer glam
a warrior of light AND dark, i believe is the truest form of elidibus, not just either or, hes the emisarry, hes supposed to walk both lines
also i really really love this rendition of to the edge, and i kinda wish we still had the ticking clock
The final fight against Elidibus is as true as Terraria's final update.
Oh I just noticed that the end of his spear is Zodiark. 🥲 Pain.
The part at 1:06 is straight up my favorite musical phrase in the game, going low with just the piano and vocals as a callback to the sadness of amaurot and to the edge, then reintroducing drums and string instruments to rebuild back up to the high energy chorus, the perfect sendoff since this tier is the last time we're gonna see him
I'm getting major Persona 4 vibes from this.
I can’t get over how this is a FFIV version of the WoL fight
In my eyes, the previous version “to the edge” is a masterpiece.
But i rate it only a 9/10, this is because i always thought there was more you could take the melody and the fact that it is so downbeat, however in the context of the fight the music is 11/10.
But this is, in my eyes, the pinnacle of how the amarout theme will be used.
10/10
at around 3:00, is this a leitmotif or does it just sound so familiar bc it’s the same piano sound 😅
They did my boy dirty in Shadowbringers. Thank god we actually got a proper fight against him. Officially my favourite raid tier.
It's cool how similar this model looks to Zodiark, especially the wings
Kind of like a cross between Zodiark and the Warrior of Light, fitting since this fight uses both light and dark mechanics
I cried during this fight
What I do like most about this music and encounter? How hopefull it actually is, full of joy and excitement and promise of something beautiful. Exact same feelings I've got from fight with Venat when she wanted to test us for the first time. You're not fighting another foe, there is no battle to save the world, you're not forced to fight for survival on peak of the Crystal Tower. Its like… idk like you indulge your friend? Answering his challenge for a friendly duel.. and that's actually fills me with so much joy I can't even describe it 😭😭😭😭
can't believe they made me fight the boy again!
In the rain, do light and darkness fade?
It’s wonderful and beautiful.
It’s like Innocence mixed with To the Edge.
Whereas Innocence used Emet-Selch’s theme (Invincible right?), this one uses Amaurot’s.
It’s wonderful.
This hit´s even more after I realize something… three years ago soken wrote "to the edge", what helped him fighting cancer. Now we have this one: hope, light and life
Such a good fight 🙂 Cannot stop smiling 🙂
