Holy shit I cannot believe the Shiva fanservice they did here. Shiva was truly one of the first fights in the game I fell in love with and this fight was so amazing. I also loved the throwbacks to the other primals and honestly this was probably my favorite raid tier of Shadowbringers!

If you think the Shiva normal fight is good the Extreme is going to murder you :3
Panicked screaming and trying to make big brain plays… and failing. That sums up every time Iconoclasm pops up on raid roulette lol. I can not do that fight to this day. I didn't even bother trying on savage.
Oh didn't realize how much you loved Shiva, you were def in for a special treat 😀 Def one of the funner end floors for the normal raids. The dialogue between Thancred and Ur is hilarious as well!
Yeah, Ryne turning into Shiva was a dumb idea. But part of growing up and becoming independent and choosing for yourself is making mistakes, so it's thematically appropriate for Ryne's arc, even if it was stupid.
"is this right? This right? Am I right? I'm Right? This is right? Right?"
So relatable lol
I feel like Gaia was being such a bitch partly out of hope we'd be mean to her in return, so she'd feel justified in being such a bitch. And so the fact we treat her nicely in return just makes her more mad. xD
But yes, E7 sucks so hard. It is too big brain for me. I had to be carried pretty hard through it. I get that some people can feel proud of themself for beating stuff like that, and I kinda envy that. All I feel is relief that it's over, and resolve to never do it again. E8 certainly makes up for it, though. The music, the lyrics, the cinematic feel, the callbacks, the ending… gods. I hate raids, but I can still admit E8 is one of the most beautifully done fights in the game.
Also, 30:40 Thancred sitting back making dad jokes while lamenting the fact that it's not his job to rush in and save his daughter anymore, because she's got a girlfriend to do it now. 😛

Hey Bree! Ty so much for uploading these reactions. I love the Shiva music so much, here's the version I frequently listen to on repeat for hours: https://youtu.be/a7MTOYJJwrM
E4, E8 and E12 all have incredible tracks. Pretty sure you're gonna love Eden's Promise Eternity. After you complete the normal versions of the last eden tier, i'd suggest you check the savage version of the last fight
I'm glad other people get emotional over this stuff too, very glad to not be the only fool who teared up after the Shiva fight lol
Awesome video! I just finished the savage version of Shiva and it was amazing seeing that cutscene again 🙂 Hope you like the Eden's Promise raids!
"Oh my god, they love each other so much."
To paraphrase Thancred and one of my favorite shows at once, they're adorable and deserve all the happiness in the world!
Love them so much, and this raid series. Looking forward to watching your playthrough of Promise!
26:30 that moment when you think the music is sooooo good, and then it only gets better
The thing i loved most about both shiva fights was the "quiet, followed by badass soundtrack" moments they shared
Great video 👍☺️ keep it up and have a great day 🙂
Not sure if it will reflect it in the Unending Journey if you were to re-watch the cutscene, but having completed this wing impacts the 5.3 farewell dialogue with Magnus and the trolley crew, not an incredibly important detail, but a very nice touch on the writers' part.
This raid series is just Final Fantasy VIII through and through. The music, Eden, and some of the scenes… They absolutely based the Eden raids off eight.
To be fair, thinking Bismarck as a wind aspect summon does not make you wrong. Goes to show how underrated the summon's effect is. However since Levi was introduced in the first wing it would make sense to make it wholly Garuda as the first choice. Great time watching your playthrough as always 😀
yeah i also almost cried during the eden shiva part as well and banged my head to the music while doing so 😂😂😂 also the fact that one of shiva's attack is "shattered world" while in hydaelyn mode is basically making this fight a semi hydaleyn raid as well. she even steps on you while spreading the party out like she did with zodiark and the fragments.
