Well, I saw NONE of this coming π That might have been my FAVOURITE dungeon ever, and that ain't even talking about the Mother Crystal trial.
If you addressed her as Hydaelyn and not Venat, she wont shed a tear.
The quest names from here on get REALLY REALLY good.
This expansion has callbacks to EVERYTHING in the entire game. One of the last mobs you fight in the dungeon is in there as a shout out to Palace of the Dead!
Whenever she says "my love for you my children hit so hard
I will aay that this trial is pretty challenging for a normal version
I'm loving to see your journey
I teared a lot after the trial especially when FLOW started playing. Thank you Venat, we'll find our way for sure! β€
Hydaelyn looks beautiful in Yoshitaka Amano version.
Not sure if anyone mentioned this but if you do it as a trust then each of the allied spirits gets named.
The first boss is Livia, but the second one was the boss from Cape Westwind.
28:29 Feel like it should be said, if you aren't already informed by later content or talking with people or whatnot – That's a new marker for Endwalker, its a double-tankbuster stack marker, where the two tanks are supposed to get together to mitigate the damage… not what they did there.
Those final lines from Venat had me balling my eyes out for a good half hour it hit so hard, I love this game like no other
sedge. you forgot the hardest trail in ARR, Cape Westwind.
This dungeon and trail were the most inpactful for me in Endwalker, i'll miss Venat so much, since she truly is a kindred soul to us as the player, ever seeking new horizons.
I honestly wonder how it all will go on without Hydaelyn couse she's been such a stable existence through it all for us.
Congrats on getting to this point. This trial is a challenge, and the extreme version is really fun. I would suggest getting the Flow Orchestrion Roll off the market board, and taking a listen to the song which was behind her final words (don't use YouTube-too many contain spoilers or are taken down quickly).
Lyrics:
Welcome and well met, my brave little spark
How long youβve wandered, burned bright as a star
Oh, I have longed, waiting patiently
All this time past every fate
Now sing with me once more
Share of your life
Far greater than memory
Itβs loss and love words cannot hold
Boundless, the tale overflows and carries your light out to sea
Remember the rain, near and far beloved
Each drop a blessing, from heavens abovΠ΅
And how must time float on those waters
BΠ΅came one, streams, rivers and lakes
Reaching for the horizon and far beyond
They carry onward, however changed with each brief reflection
By setting sun, by stormβs wake
Till welcomed home to gentle sea
Sinking deeper and deeper in calm embrace
Loving tide sweeping in, bear you down
Should you meet us, arise and surface thus
With your own beating heart wish them well
Deep, dark, far away
I heard of your voice
With your every choice
Now our hands joined round the meaning you sought
Iβll catch your tears
Quench your fears with joy
To your devotion
Where in time all shall as hope be reborn all
Hush love, close your eyes
Let them sleep all blind, in such a still night
It calls to unto dreams, be and all
Though you will weep, the winds rise again, for this journeyβs end
Is but one step forward to tomorrow
βFlowβ is a song composed by Masayoshi Soken for Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker with lyrics written by Michael-Christopher Koji Fox and performed by Amanda Achen-Keenan.
I was slamming the screenshot button during Hydaelyns trial/cutscenes, so many awesome wallpaper oportunities.
I lol so hard that Emet selc got auto translate to then it suck XD
This whole quest just killed me, and little did i know, that it was just the beginning of feelswalker.
The real crazy part of the story is hermes saved the world. He set into motion the events that lead to the sundering, and as meteion showed us the ancients pursuit of perfection would have a grizzly end. They had become arrogant and unable to handle any hardship. If left on their path without the final days and sundering, they wouldve met a similar end to the other stars that tried to erase sorrow.
Rest in Peace Crystal Mommy, you deserve it after the past thousand thousand years of suffering and self sacrifice just to bring mankind this chance.
Let the cry fest begin
The axe is Moenbryda's, and amusingly, the attack it casts is "Love Tap". π
No reaction to the song Flow? Kinda disappointing.
The red stack marker is a TANK stack marker btw
4:36 The first boss was Livia, the second one is Rhitahtyn xD from Cape Westwind in ARR (the meme trial)
I know free time is a scarce commodity, but if you ever have the chance, you should go back and do this and all the EW dungeons as trusts. All the Scions have different parts that they react to uniquely and even do mechanics differently and stuff. For example, here Alphy and Alis get obliterated by that first dancer attack and Estinien goes all big brtother raid leader and starts calling out mechanics that they're about to fail for them, it's super cute.
All your dead friends coming to your aid was so awesome.
Ahhh I felt so horrible for ever doubting Hydaelyn after that Trial, though also relieved that I was wrong. You gotta go back and do the Trial with the Scions at least once though, it's a pretty awesome experience.
Livia, the first boss, is the endboss of Castrum Meridianum, one of the last ARR dungeons where you cant scip cutscenes. Also, just as small reminder, Livia was Lucia's sister – and according to a comment from Cid, both looked very much alike: he almost called Lucia "Livia" when first meeting her π
The staff, I first though it might've been Louixous but Papalymo makes more sense.
The axe, yes, it Moenbryda.
The knight… we all know who he is π Except for Minfilia and Shiva, non of the other characters appear in form. You have to watch closely and read the flavortext that pops up.
I love this dungeon: we make lots of enemies in our career as heroes and champions and warriors (I mean, how many times are we send out to kill something or someone?), but despite of that we also make lots of friends and allies π
Well, you could've done the trial together – just switch out one DPS, either Estinien, Alisea or Y'shtola.
Red stackmark with 2 balls is a Tank-stackmark π Its so funny though… I did this fight so many times on extreme now, its funny to recognise everything again in this setting and know what it means – and remembering not knowing when first seeing it π
Those tanks, pulling the Tank Stack marker in to the rest of the group, brutal.
Tanks stack and mitigate for the red marker. Don't stack with the rest of the party.
The amount of times I have killed myself or scared the heck out of my healers with that SMN dash xD
Just use chaos bolt Cob
After that wonderful introduction to The Mothercrystal trial — running it as a Trust, with one's Scion comrades, is something everyone should do at least once. (Same with doing Ktisis with the Ancients — it is fantastic.) I have played many a game since the late 1970s — none has ever brought me to tears so many times as this one has, and I adore it for that.
Every time I've done the Hydaelyn trial (I main RDM) I spend the majority of my time rezzing. Or, rather, rezzing and desperately trying to conserve every bit of mana that I can since I'm constantly running dry.
Flow, the theme that was playing during Venat's words to the WoL and the Scions have been on repeat in my playlist since EW came out. The words of the song perfectly frames a mother's love for her children. Of love encompassing.
i did it with the scions first to learn the mechanics then i did with my fellow WOL hehe good thing cos the scions know all the mechs lol.
Don't go! Mommyyyyy!!!
The trial is available to play with the Scions whenever you want-I highly recommend it! During the recent podcast YoshiP said that the programmed the Scions to do things in character for them. YβShtola is the inly one to do the mechanics perfectly because of course she does π
The EX trial is fantastic too and it gives you pre-raid BIS weapons that look amazing-highly recommend!
In this trial we got Hear feel think expanded upon to make much more sense too.
You should have done it with the scions, you get a lot of extra lore that you miss otherwise if you do it with the scions
I cried alot holy no tears left.
Illberd, you know who that was. The yellow flame was indeed Papalymo (the icon was Tupismati, Louisoix's staff, that 'lymo held on to and used)
The yellow flame that turned into an axe was indeed Moenbryda, Urianger's childhood friend
The Sword and Shield you already figured out is Haurchefant
Livia is the "White Raven", aka the Garlean chick who's all in white that you fight in Castrum Miridianum (the one where you destroy the shield generators as you progress)
The "Dual Shield" boss (with the unpronouncable name) was the garlean boss of Cape Westwind, the easiest trial in the entire game
imagine to play FF kekw
Just so you know, the spirits that helped you in order of appearance: Papalymo, Moenbryda, Haurchefant, Minfilia and Ysale
Red Stack Marker with 2 orbs means it is a shared tank buster. Your meant to solve it by putting the 2 tanks in the stack and using defensive cooldowns. It is NOT a party stack (was laughing at the tank dragging it to the party)
