Best midboss theme of all expansions, period

[maybe]

The bass player having so much fun. You can hear the joy in the notes.

[jmw]

"And when one asked... 'what is the point?' - there were none left to answer..."

[tickledpickle]

I was once told this song and Finality couldnt convey desperation because "it was too upbeat" nah, you really listen to these, you get it. This is the end this is annihilation for everything if you fail. You cannot fail. Eveything hinges on your determination to see this through. It can be soul crushing if you let it be.

[TheIonGames]

Expansion has been out for like 2 years and this still gives me chills, it's just so good. I am glad it's the miniboss theme, that way I hear it more.

[RuneArcN]

WoL panic mode...
Those precious minutes across Garlemald always on the move, desperate and yet still unyielding.

[imapseudonym]

I know a lot of people seem to dislike that certain solo duty in Garlemald where this plays... but I absolutely love it, and it's THE scene I associate with this song. Things are looking bad, you're alone and at your weakest... but there's more to the Warrior of Light than just their strength. And this is where you prove it.

[juba]

This is my workout music.
It gets me fired up every single time.

[MambaRanger]

the "welcome to the final year of FFXIV school...we don't do pop quizzes...we do pop final exams" level of mechanics

[galloviking]

This first dungeon was such a slap in the face! The bosses had simple but relentless mechanics, enough to remind you that yes, you're here to kick ass, and get your ass kicked.

[SullenFrog]

Hands down the best mini-boss theme in the game.

[FieldMarshall]

When the chorus and the violin drops you are no longer fighting the boss, you have become the boss.

[chiefsoap]

I love when the chorus aligns with the 2m window. Its epic

[brunoferreira]

Definitely will always be the PTSD song that made us actually remember how strong we really are, and how useless normal people are.

[AkariYuudou]

As much as I enjoy both this and "Finality, " I gotta give the win to this one, if only because songs that blend orchestra and rock band elements have always been a weakness of mine. Plus I love how the vocals on the chorus always make the one or two specific mechanics they line up with feel more epic and terrifying than than anything else in the fight, regardless of difficulty.

[BadaBadger]

“Are you afflicted? No? We stand together!”

“No! They’re brainwashed! We cut them down, Kinsman!”

“Everyone, get back! It’s going to explode!”

[TheAzulmagia]

We never got to mourn or bury those Garlean insurgents we left dead on the street...

[TheFrantic]

Everyone's talking about Garlemald, but for me this is the Sage quest. Those intro quests for the non DPS jobs are brutal.

[SchwayGoose]

God, Endwalker really does feel like it's the end of a massive story with how everything's coming together.

[WrathofOmega]

as someone who has yet to enter EW content (still on SHB PMSQ) when i first heard this song during the final reaper job quest, i was like, this song goes so hard!
