Ktisis Hyperboreia Theme "Miracle Works" - FFXIV OST 

Best part by a mile. It’s literally the dream team and you’re the guest appearance

A milf, a femboy and the best tsundere :)

The one dungeon where playing with NPCs is the only logical choice.

@@MaskedBishop Extra points for the Scions still having unique Interactions with the place

@@vincentbeton Of course. Ever since the introduction of the system in Shadowbringers I always have my 1st run with NPCs, if available.

And not just AoEs, but better ones than you- Hythlo really out here following up Blast Arrow with a laser cannon huh

@@jacobsiron6929 But of course, they are the unsundered after all.

@@TheGabriel1351 I thought it was actually genius for Hermes to put the 'dampening' effect on all lifeforms in ktiseos other than the researchers because it's such a good way to explain why everything took so long to kill and why Emet-Selch couldn't just blow him up at the end. I love that they think these things through.

It should be illegal to not run this dungeon at least once without the Dream Team XD

Same! I never ever do any activity I can do with other players with npcs. But that this is going to be an exception was clear to me immediately.

Never before have I been so offended by something I completely agree with... I'll go take my PLD and cry now, I hope you are happy.

What about his friend who literally wanted you to leave him dead if you rez him though. "Thank you, but you shouldn't have. ... No really. You shouldn't have." Me: The sass with this man. 😂😂 I love him. 😢😢

He's not even w2w pulling. Typical DRK.

Q

It should be illegal to enter this dungeon without the Sophist's Robe

well I guess I’m a criminal then

@@robowolfzane6666 same i never trusted eithher

Or taking off Sophist's Robe just before entering the tower cuz IT'S GO TIME!

"I see you, Opening!"

Ifkr my emo simp heart go brrrrrr

And Emet-Selch could EASILY be a healer, but that smug bastard isn't giving up a chance to be part of the fight.

Not only is he a DRK, he's also a BLM, my mains. 👀

It fits him absolutely perfectly too, he is like the embodiment of what a Dark Knight is

Best game ever

Loved it so much!

I was sceptical about time travel and Elpis until I actually had to experience it. It was really immersive experience, only until the meeting with Venat though. The revelation of you being a time traveller ruined everything they've built so far. The ending cutscene of Ktisis Hyperboreia also get the title of the worst cutscene in Endwalker with beyond idiotic memory erasing machine.

@@loganreed23 I totally agree, but I was thinking that if we didn't time travel, Hermes would've gotten away with his plans and Venat wouldn't know that she needed to stop him. Of course I'm just theorizing though Unless you're just judging the story itself then nevermind lol

We now know what the ancients were fighting for. This banger of a song.

Oddly enough, when I did this with trust, I was running DRK so Emet was the BLM.

@@samuelparrott8558 lol

@@samuelparrott8558 I was a Waagh.

This is why Square should bring back (Hard) Versions, and just Optional Dungeons in general.

@@DraconicCatgirl I can agree to that. Some variety in the dungeon layout would be nice.

I hope we get hard mode of this some day...

Coming back to this comment after the release of Variant/Criterion Dungeons, this place has the perfect set up to be one.

first time I experienced this was in the world of darkness, and I couldn't agree more we definitely need a sound setting like that

I don't trust the trust AI to do their jobs because of ShB uwu

On the contrary, the TRUST AIs tend to do their jobs properly for me, they only fail if I am the one who fail first.

@@Runetato Trust AI works fine, you just can't double pull because they don't do AOE. It's intended to be suboptimal if you're trying to pull efficiently because they don't want Trusts to be preferable to running with other players. For purposes of immersion, though, the Trust version is the only way to run this dungeon IMO.

You also have a blast running it with trusts because Emet just shits on everything that you kill.

Exactly! Who wouldn’t want to run it with those guys?! Why do people hate the trust system?! ITS COOL. More importantly, it makes me feel like I’m playing a classic final fantasy

I love controller. People harp on cross hotbars being a pain in the ass, but after a while (and reconfiguring it if you accidentally hit 'default' ;-;) it's almost fluid. When I first started playing I played with the keyboard and it was alright. One guy in my ifrit nm trial suggested using a controller and I haven't looked back. The only reason I have a keyboard is to type because screw the controller keyboard

@@zach9299 a FC member keeps telling me to play keyboard and I just say no. Controller is alot more comfortable for play than people lead on.

There's no way I can play this game on kbm - controller feels so much better.

@@luminantAegis controller supremacy

Why? Just put all your important skills on the 1 cross hotbar then your less frequently used secondary skills on the 2nd/ also your aoe skills. Super fluid and never had an issue boomers

He was elected as Fandaniel for a reason. And that reason is for all their wisdom and power, the Ancients never conceived of Aircondaniel.

@@ahorseofcourse7283 you stole a smile from me, I'll grant you that

"It spins the mist, after all."

i just came here to reflect on the original because i was listening to the sleeping penguin remix of this song and 2:55 on their version reminded me a lot of another dimension from rtdl lol

It remind me of Phantasy Star Online 1.

i get hints of the music from the ragnorak airship overworld screen in 8 then again this music hits so many vibes from old games ive played from ff to armored core literally if it isnt a straight remake of an older ff track its something that feels like it came from an old game or anime w ff14s music its just fucking amazing and if it doesn’t fit those it’s probably a massive original banger the primals did and will end up performing at some point thinking about it this track gived me mana or brave fencer musashi vibes or musashi btw not the meh level reboot ps2 attempt

For this dungeon? Trust is perfect for the last one but this one with trust is so fucking tedious

@@TheSilverwing999 Yeah, but you also get to do the dungeon with Mom and your two new old friends.

@@jacobkern2060 Darn right. Also great remix of Elpis day theme while Emet is sneering at everything, Venat is being a divine light, and Hythlodaeus is being the witty, amiable guy he always is.

I mean to be fair tanks and healers always got adventurer in need over dps since forever less people play those roles

As a Tank main, I can confirm it is quite the privilege. Makes leveling up tanks almost too easy

... gubal. leave me alone gubal. I can't go back again.

This part gave me Maplestory vibes the first time I ran the dungeon ;A; ♥

yeah the airy part does sound a bit like Gate of Steiner, doesn't it?

I was scrolling through the comments hoping someone else said it. Fitting, considering the nature of your being in Elpis, huh?

It reminded me of Gate of Steiner too. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this

That bridge part with the strings definitely made me think of Gate of Steiner yeah, I wonder if anyone thought to make a remix of the two lol

Mostly just lots of practice at pressing the D-pad really fast :"D

That's the best part: you don't :^)

I have fun playing with AST on controller! Never a dull moment, always doing something. It's mostly just memorizing your hotbar.

For me, I gotta use forbidden macros now with the changes to cards & Astrodyne in 6.0 😅 Definetely gonna shelve AST until they figure out fixes going forward

It takes a ton of practice to get used to AST. Especially if you've been playing since it was first released in Heavenward, it's mostly just adapting lol

Now that you say it.. this theme definitely has "calm before the storm" vibes especially at certain parts, quite unsettling.

​​​@@Lyu-Phy added theres the very slight touch of awe at all the ancients created. A near utopian civilization where their only job is to create a perfectly stable and balanced world and the lengths they went to test and approve concepts they themselves make out of thin air

Yeah... Sadly I was a dummy and didn't think of trusts until after I finished recording all the dungeons :"D

"Or some such" I see Haurchy's speech pattern has rubbed off on you :P

I imagine that Dynamis can boost the power of a Limit Break, but I am given to understand that it is still primarily an Aether based phenomenon. As battles progress, leftover aether is left scattered around the battlefield, represented by the LB gauge filling up. Once there is enough of it, those engaged in the battle may then draw upon that lingering aether to serve as the power source of the Limit Break, though this consumes and uses up the Aether in the process - hence why the gauge depletes instead of letting you just spam Verflashbang. The Synodic Scribe did a fantastic video breaking down the various Limit Breaks and the established lore for them that existed well before Dynamis was introduced.

You get very good at mashing the D-pad quickly. The faster you can cycle through the party list, the better. I started out on PS4, so it was a "sink or swim" skill for me

at this moment I knew that this soundtrack was very aware of how extremely I was enjoying fighting side by side with my best new old friends

I know, right? Gives me Rainbow Road vibes.

Which Mario subseries? 'Cause it ain't the default sidescrollers.

People who did not do this with Trust were not paying attention to or caring about the MSQ at all. I don't care that it took longer than a player party, the LORE COMPELLED ME to do it with the Trust!

Every so often you scroll to the bottom of a comment section and meet stupid, it's not often you scroll to the bottom of an FFXIV video's comment section and meet truth.
