Menphina isn’t described like that though
What’s her card art?
she is the goddess of love tbf which leads ppl to make certain assumptions
she had none, her card has Halone on it
interesting that nophica wouldnt be the final boss of euphrosyne
Oh Menphina's card art, nvm
Cagnazzo probably
Nophica's bounties is where its at
All ya folks waiting for Nophica to be a dude, when it was Menphina getting a form change
you would think they would do a song of gridania after they did one for uldah and naldthal
The Heaven of Earth is before the Heaven of Ice
Meanwhile Nophica is so cool, the first boos and yet the one who’s not yet shown xD
And also we’re following the wheel of the gods
Menphina is the hatsune miku looking god?
Yup
Yes
She does look like a nurturing looking character
What's a hatsune miku
Imouto mode ON
She does have a dog too
uncultured swine
She looks a bit too young for me, I expect her to look motherly or some sort
im gonna make a wild guess that 6.3 trial is Golbez and Cag/Rubi are part of something bigger
That's internet culture s m h
Imouto love my guy
She’s the younger sister, so
Imouto love beats motherly love in JP culture through and through
I didn't really expect her to look older
too young for you? ure probably too young for her 
I’m not sure what my exact expectations were
she didnt have a card art sooo
But after seeing her I’m like “oh, yeah, that makes sense”
it could have been unsurprisingly anything
I was expecting something like Venus or Aphrodite
chose her as my patron and i was like, yeah she is going to have that generic Aphrodite kind of design but very motherly
This one is a bit... Young(?)
I mean Aphrodite is depicted as a young maiden sometimes too
Azeyma is the motherly here
Aphrodite is also the goddess of beauty tbf
inspired by greek mythology doesnt mean copy paste
Like that art of her rising on the seashell from the ocean from Ouranos’ chopped up body
Yeah i guess im just stuck with the motherly traits... And no i have no mommy issue
Sadly 
Stage 1: denial
No worry, raid looks awesome, the bgm, and graha playing with his new gadget looks cute
i wanted to see Nophica's Bounties but its ok the datamine discord will show it b4 servers open hopefully 🙏
Can i have the name of all the deity that appeared in the latest trailer?
I only know like... 2
Nymeia
yeah her
Nymeia and Althyk
Nymussy
Yeah and Althyk
Time god
The emperor with a floating cape
Thanks
I love Nymeia but I can’t get over how stupid her spinning wheel looks
I'm kind of surprised that Nymeia is here though.
Isn't she supposed to be in the Heaven of Water?
I mean time and fate are pretty intertwined
She’s with her brother-father-husband and one of her daughters, yeah
Family gathering
Finally got to listen to the trailer with sound on
That booming orchestral Home Beyond the Horizon segment, OH
They definitely fight together, trailer shows them casting some supernova together

I’m overly proud of myself to be the first in this chat to go “wait that’s Nymeia, that’s a loom”
/flex
Did they not show Nophica face cause she looks similiar to someone?
No no
Mostly because you only have one frame that shows the spool and thread part of her wheel, then again it’s the same frame of her with Menphina and Althyk,
Yeah I have no idea why they went out their way to obscure her face
Inb4 it’s just a big flower or something
I was really confused by that myself.
probably cause she looks like Kan Senna or something
Like Nymeia, Althyk, and Halone all have their faces obscured by their outfits- a hood and helmets, respectively
"We need not suffer in this purgatory of death and rebirth forever." Upbeat club music in the background
If she does, it really lays that the Heavens and Twelve are strangely impressionable
Like from our understanding there’s little sense for the Heaven of Ice to have Dalamud
By the way, any news on what the PLD rework looks like?
war with a shield
Terrifying, that's what it looks like
Something about a more defined burst window and losing royal authority, iirc
coming your way in 3 weeks
Removing DOTs, making Sheltron have DR, re-adding Bulwark
Sorry, not RA, what’s the dot?
And Goring now gives a free Holy Spirit cast or something
Goring Blade, there we go
And the Blade combo
if we have 5 bosses i cant imagine what the final boss of this raid is going to be
Goring Blade and Blade combo finisher had DOTs
(Which is just Goring's dot with a different name)
Nymeia and Althyk are likely a double boss, but could have a curveball like Menphina and Dalamud are technically a trash pack
I don't know how I'll cope, I spent so long burning the rotation into my mind
So both DoTs are going away?
So yeah, Halone uses Ultimate End
Yes 
I would imagine Nymeia would look older...
And what's with WAR with a shield business?
did they confirm omega ultimate
We're not building up Oath Gauge just to use attacks, are we?
Golbez is gonna try and recruit Zero after saving her 
Yes.
god i hope not
Cool, the pattern stays undefeated
He’s gonna Darth Vader her
I dont think i saw any of althyk move from the trailer, wonder if i missed it
Honestly Golbez seems like an alright fellow
Because he’s hot? (Aside from his voice not being that hot.)
Golbez wants to bring light to the 13th right?
Will try to buy 
I mean, Golbez turning out being good is just copying IV a bit much
may the lotto be kind to us all this time
Where is Cecil though 
Im sure we fight him
He says "That world will never be ours again" and talks about going to a promised land where death exists
So I think he wants to move house
bring back the lifestream
Anybody have the slideshow notes? I keep scrolling but don’t see them
Tbf, according to the myths, she’s the second oldest god, she’s also mother to Azeyma and Menphina
Aside from that, I think if there was a way to bring Light back into the 13th, the Convocation would have done it. I don't think it's a situation like the 1st, because there were still places where Light didn't permeate everything, meanwhile the 13th is fully engulfed
They didn’t have a full grasp on calamities back then and would plan to cycle back to the 13th later,
But uh, then we happened
yea they moved on with bahamut if i rememeber right
That makes sense
As for why things changed, again, we happened, and Lahabrea also got overzealous, normally they sit back and let the Source recover for some time,
its why elidibus kept Ukulele around
They honestly had a really good run until they didn't.
7.0, we've fixed all the Reflections and we begin the Rejoining
they probably figured that once Zodiark was sufficiently restored, Zodiark could fix the 13th and rejoin it with the source
Rejoinjngs kill people, so I big hope they don’t go that route
Heya, I wasn't able to watch the live stream this morning, but I can't seem to find the translation channel. Is there a way I can see what was announced and all the details?
That's the fun thing about rejoinings, the people of the source become more and more of a threat with the more rejoinings that happen.
Rejoinjngs also kill an entire shard and its population 
maybe just dont die?
What, you telling me operation: "Kill an unknowable amount of people" is bad?
do a rejoining specifically in ohio tbh
well i dont consider you alive so it woulnt be murder - emet
Homie, Ohio is the 13th.
The funny thing is how, according to Mitron, it would have been a stable system if not for the 13’s fall affecting all the Reflection’s balance,
Does Ohio have bayonetta knockoffs like the void
I am incredibly curious how this patch MSQ will end and lead to the next expansion and supposedly this next 10 year story arc
Baby steps, ARR was a lot of XIVth Legion clean-up, tbf
I don't think this patch is gonna nail that entirely; there's still 6.4/6.5 to do set up.
My super cynical take is new expansion is just Source vs 13th Shard war
i woulnt mind a curve ball of a location
6.55 will be the end of this current story basically
what happens in 6.55 ends 6.x main thing but it leads into 7.0
7.0 just needs to be a nice, relatively small scale danger and I'll be happy.
Bestie Tiamats brood is there
dude, that's what 6.1-6.5 are for.
unless thats another one of those things where they didnt actually say that and i somehow read it in this server but it never actually happened
They’ll start the transition into 7.0 before 6.55, we just know it’ll happen “around that point”
wow had this problem big threat even bigger threat kept trying to up itself till its like we literally just kill god now
meracydia got glassed so it probably isnt exactly teeming with civilization
nicely played SE
Meracydia didn’t get glassed, iirc
You can have a relatively small scale threat in a main xpac. I ain't asking for nothing to happen, just not war or world level threats lol
Allag messed it up something good, but it’s not destroyed
Heavensward level of threat would be good 👍
so still a war
We know Tiamat went back with whoever survived of her brood no
do we know the average item level requirements for the dungeons/raids?
i think doing a HW level threat for 7.0 would probably be the best option
but idk it could be another SHB
i think one of the best things xiv does to sort of mitigate "you kill gods btw" is introducing politics as a major element
I could see it if being some local warlord in whatever new land we go to
What we do know is some Thavnairian groups trade with Meracydia, but otherwise they’re fairly xenophobic. But the Meracydian Brood of dragons will see a bounce back now that mom’s back home
HW level would definitely be best case
610 average will cover them
me when destiny 2 had racist politicians for an entire season
HW had kinda big stakes
expansions will be 3 years apart
the wol can kill gods but the wol can't singlehandedly fix what's wrong with the various nations
I am alittle tired of the fantasy racism tropes
Thordan easily could've been the catalyst for a rejoining
Because FF14 wants to "solve" racism in a way and I have never ever seen it handled well or naturally
An important note is that we didn't know how big those stakes were during the xpac
ya we didn't really know the full plan of heavensward until like... late stormblood
where we were like "oh thats what they wanted to do with thordan"
Not to mention they also done the "you killed despair personified" well
Legit just power of friendship goes brrrrr, wol won't survive if the fight is not where dynamis is abundant
HW was kind of like "go stop dragonsong war" until like 57 where it actually started to matter a lot more
least its not as bad as arr base ending
HW was basically getting manipulated into fighting ishgard's war because you had nothing better to do and because fighting is fun
Dragonsong war didn't really feel like a war at all though. I played through all of MSQ last year. Doing nothing but running MSQ makes the Dragonsong War seem like nothing but a couple of small skirmishes out in the middle of nowhere.
until you actually got attached along the way
Because you were a wanted criminal and the ppl taking you in were entangled in a horrible war
well it was because we were taken in by basically the only place we could and yeah we kind of had nothing better to do
Ishgard is completely on the defence and the Dragons just seemed lazy or mindless monsters
ya
That's the big thing. Ain't like SB where you were protecting major settlements and holding certain lines. You were just on a nice stroll through Dravania.
Eorzean Alliance probably needed Ishgard to actually liberate Ala Mhigo, tbf
and aymeric was basically like "well you better do it or you're gonna be fucked later" which is very much an "appeal to alphinaud" sorta thing to say lol
all things said, nobody ends up mad that they helped, but the intro was very much desperate and nowhere else to go
Yeah HW MSQ felt more like mini Fellowship of the Ring
Because it was in its dying throws, one way or another it’d end had we shown up or not
It’s mostly that HW sets up a lot of themes echoed later,
Ysayle already break the city magic barrier
Nidhogg and Emet parallel pretty strongly,
If we didn't interfee ishgard is done
and its still possibly setting up things if my pande theory is right
Plus the Eye debacle leads into Shinryu’s summoning, which kicks off Stormblood, etc etc
I don't know if those Eorzea Encyclopedia books go into any kind of Dragonsong War timeline but I don't think there are any notable events prior to the HW MSQ that isn't the start of the Dragonsong War that you see in Echo flashbacks. So there's Nidhogg razing Estinien's hometown and...?
It also kill ps3

almost like they planned it all from the start
...
...
...
or were just really good at making it LOOK like they planned it all from the start
ngl i never played 5 but given that its heavily implied 7.0 is gonna pull from 5, and the void wiping out cities being a major element, as well as yoshi-p's incredibly ominous "a great change is coming" seems like it's coming together into something spooky
woulnt 1.0 be the prio to that idk much about old ishgarde beside it was green
Nidhogg awakens and slumber in cycles and it’s actually his most recent awakening that caused Ishgard to withdraw form the Eorzean Alliance
So yeah they gloss over a timeline of major events bc “this is his most recent awakening”
Honestly i want to know more about blm vs whm war
There’s like, the Sleeping Dragon, which was put to sleep by Ishgardian mages

They did nophica justice, something which could most likely be her theme, is not shite
Uh, the murder, butchering, and consumption of Ratatoskr, the founding of current Ishgard
And that happened so long ago it’s now petrified
mhach lore copium
A thousand year stalemate suddenly broken after you visit Hraesvalgyr and Estinien is like "Oh while we're here we might as well kill Nidhogg" and then he does xD
We have multiple dungeons, 1 job quest series and an AR bout that
I'm assuming this isn't whoever limsa's God is
Yes I mentioned that. The Echo flashbacks you see in MSQ but that was the start. I meant events inbetween
It isn't it the giant bone we see in hinterland
llymlaen is the goddess of limsa
That one is in the final raid
It’s the big rock fixture in Coerthas Western
Man I really need that new UI 
we have all of one statue of llymlaen
The Sleeping Dragon, or Dreaming Dragon, I forget
it looks so clean and pretty
Mermaid
Yep its definitely nophica
Praying she will be a actual mermaid in the raid too that would be so cool
I'm excited to fight hatsune miku in the alliance raid
The metric fuckton of green was a dead giveaway
Yeah EE just notes a few Azure Dragoons or people who would go on to be Saints.
Nophica fits her poster look
Hatsune Miku is actually cute though
just that she uses a scythe instead
Nah she would look too much like mateus
which makes sense as a harvest goddess
The echo flashbacks we see were when Nidhogg went to Hraesvalger to get one of his eyes and of the remnants of Thordan’s Knights Twelve going their ways
She is indeed adorable, I dig her design
Sammme I have a ton of figures and merch of her lol
I love miku, so if you look like miku I like it too
Know what being a reaper isn't so bad now (I'm a nophica simp)
And, yeah, this raid is the patron deities of Gridania, Ishgard, and Keepers of the Moon,
She's my character's goddess so I might be biased but I love her sm already
I love how varied she is while retaining the same recognizability
Menphinas design is growing on me for sure but that's also because I like Miku and she has similarities
I don’t think we know of groups that have Nymeia and Althyk as patrons
lowkei I would change my god for her if I could lmao
Althyk is super obscure. It's only mentioned as a lavender.
halone looks like a white melania
She has SEASON MECHANICS
When I Fanta back to my moon cat maybe I should pick Menphina as my deity
I'm probably gonna keep Nymeia her theme is one of the coolest imo 
You can see her change the vegetation in her arena 
what name is zero calling at 1:30ish? didnt get it
Meanwhile halone have a shield blade
It’s a trick weapon tyvm
I bet it also have spear form
BEST GIRL PYRRHA
Damn that volume 1 animation on her spear-gun shifting…
It's been so many years since I'd seen RWBY. That show still going?
thunk Jaune: "thank youuu"
Pyrrha: "SORRY"
Vol 9 is Soon™️, I believe
V9 was delayed for like two years, but it SHOULD be out early 2023.
Also there's a Justice League crossover movie happening.
I think she says "Be quick" or "So quick"
Christ, I stopped after 3. That's a lot of drops.
A...justice league? With rwby? What in the hell
The timeline is weirdly paced anyhow, like I always forget vol 3 was the Vytal Festival
…right?

NYMEIA 
I was in doubt if she was calling someone or saying something along these lines too
I think someone is excited for Nymeia
Why is Rooster Teeth still in enough of a profitable position to get a DC crossover of all things
Oh I was legit shaking when I realized it was a spinning wheel on her back
But it's valid cuz me too 
A) they're owned by Warner Discovery.
B) they're NOT profitable enough, that's why all their animators' contracts just expired.
C) no, really, RT is a shitty, shitty place.
Like at first I thought it was a nautical thing and like… “…Llymlaen?”
Then wheel of time and thinking Althyk was a young boy
Then seeing the stupid thread spinning part next to the wheel
Also her casting Star shit with Althyk

Fuck 'em
Soulless company
have i got news for you...
All companies are soulless, some are just cancerous masses.
It's different imo, because I grew up with ancient Rooster Teeth
So it stings rather a bit more to see it this degraded as compared to the general knowledge that all companies are hollow
Part of me is sad that I'll never be at the point of taking on an on tier Ultimate, BUT GOSH DIDDLY DARN if I wont be watching day 1 runs of Omega Ultimate!
U know i think theres a non zero chance omega ultimate takes longer to clear than dsr
Even before Monty Oum because they've been around since '03?
I’ve never even tried doing an ultimate since I still haven’t cleared current tier so
I wouldnt doubt it, If its half as vision dependant as the original O12S things are gonna be ROUGH lmao
I’m still gonna be watching people prog it day 1 though
a) WoL lowkey goes through the same evolution as Cecil in FF4 by going from DRK --> PLD
b) stuff in the trailer suggests Zero goes through an inverse of that evolution by going from PLD --> RPR
c) patch poster artwork shows WoL and Zero next to each other...
d) ... and transitions at the end to Omega-M and Omega-F, who are merely different expressions of Omega
RIP to Monty, he was a real one
he crunched himself massively but he was a real one
doesn't the 'best' strat use rescue or is that not the case because it was when i cleared it
The best strat has everyone commit dishonorable seppuku
I genuinely dont remember xD it was the first savage capstone I cleared on level and once I finished it all the information flew from my brain like exam cramming xD
I'm just fucking hyped the orchestral version of From the Heavens is finally in game (and therefore will stop getting removed from Youtube)
I know people still use Goodbye World strat which would be a very funny callback if it was implemented in some way during Ultimate
Im hoping they do a cover of Heartless too. Still my most used track in my spotify D&D playlist
Even before Monty, God bless him. He was hired in '09 iirc; I would have been 7 at the time. Achievement Hunter was in its infancy and Grifball was added to Halo 3
I'm 20 now 
I would have been 7 at the time.
what did RT even do before RWBY that's all I know them for
Red Vs. Blue.
This should probably get back on topic to discussing 6.3 things,
oh right that too

I wish I had never seen this question, but Red vs. Blue
Anyway, Golbez wants to get to the Promised Land, we're getting some FF7 chocolate in our FF4 peanut butter
that's what we call a generational divide
Clearly he means the Farplane,
(inb4 i suggest guado for Meracydia again)
ppl in the reddit are thinking 6.5 will end with a meteor event 🙃
Ppl on the reddit are smokin' the ganja
I sincerely hope the events of the 13th don’t escalate to a Calamity,
with his plan with the moon? wouldnt doubt it
But Shtola does say that pillar of aether in Thavnair is tied to some powerful magic,
What was Vrtra rearing up to do, was he fighting someone?
that big beam of red aether, i wonder if its rubicante.
So maybe Im dumb or just super detatched from some of the older games but I dont recognize most of the charecters that people are ogling in the trailer. Like is that lady an ff4 charecter or is that part of the new alliance raid?
maybe we'll see him this patch but not fight him?
they're the twelve. unique to ff14.
Well they’re all 14 characters, yeah. Just Golbez is a specific reference- but still the 14 version of the character
... how did Jenova survive Meteion's song of despair
it's Hatsune Miku /s
it's an outer god...whatever that means
Ok tyvm! That was my first thought but then people started talking about FF4 after posting pictures of her so I wasnt sure lol
creator of Minecraft Hatsune Miku?
and Harry Potter
Most of the Twelve we haven’t seen more than artwork and statues of, so it’s mostly recognizing form written descriptions of ‘em
What a time to be alive; people know RT more for RWBY than RvB
Like OOO Halone! wait what its not Halone?
Do y'all even know where the name RoosterTeeth comes from
Hatsune Miku branches out into so many different artistic fields, so talented!
whats roosterteeth
Cockbite
Halone does not look like the depiction of her in The Spear, yep. Not like Azeyma who was the spitting image of herself in The Balance
It's just a dick joke lmao
p sure most ppl don't even know what Machinima is anymore
Is it still around??
I recently learned that Newgrounds is still a thing which is wild to me

they obviously took inspiration for halone's look from malenia
she looks so much like her
The Machinima Youtube channel is empty.
First thing my husband said was she looks like an Elden Ring boss lmao
it got shut down
So I guess not wow lol
What about the people the sponsored are their videos with them still up?
idk
Please move the RT talk to #not-ffxiv-discussion
I REALLY should know the twelve better then I do lol. Like I know half of them by heart but then you could tell me there's one named scrimblo with a shield and id be like ok I believe you
Oh I’ve been mixing up Nophica and Halone’s names all morning
Id prob be swapping Menphina and Nymeia too if I wasn’t simping
can i post pics of malenia's 2nd phase without getting bonked
Probably not since she’s not the final boss
lets find out
its not clear if she is or not
Alright catching back up on the LL stuff I missed
Halone: I am Halone.....Blade of Ishgard...and I have not known defeat....wait who wrote this script?
with nymeia thrown in they could change the order
Phase 2 she's just rot naked
Discord content filter is weird
Yeah but she’s fairly featureless where it matters,
Barbie nudity
discord has a built in content filter now?
always has had one
always had
Pretty sure it always did
Clyde, he mostly hates nipples
but its several chromosomes below dumb
he hates exposed skin in general
Or anything beige
I've never experienced it I thought the 'content filter' was someone explicitly adding a blur/spoiler on their picture
I got warned once for a RE7 picture talking about micro transactions
It will let randoms post explicit artwork of an anime girl but it won’t let you post a Guinea pig.
I guess my only gripe on paper with Euphrosyne is two mode bosses
Nophica having seasonal modes and Halone having spear/shield and sword mode
Er, two bosses that have clear modes
clyde lets you post gore but if you show thigh? you're done bucko
Smh Clyde isn’t based
we'll see how it works out
I wonder if the artists have already started on cute pieces of Azeyma and Menphina
Sun/moon sisters 
we're going to get Dissidia Chaos because Omega is literally running a Dissidia sim
I expect shitpost pieces like Azeyma’s fans being used as a frisbee for Dalamud
i saw that nophica had those moving earth spikes from uh, fourth make hashmal
She did them during a mode shift, yeah?
think so
Evergreen > flower fields
it looks busier than the average alliance raid boss
it didn't look like they had aoe telegraphs

She was casting something when she switched to flower mode but it cut before showing what it could be
the small bit we saw of halone also seemed to have no telegraphing, or it was animation based
with that shield aura and slashing behind her and to her right
Yeah that ring of red targeting markers when she was in spear/shield
the real question is
Dalamud was hoping around in Menphina’s , looked like that DNC may have baited it?
i hope they make it more difficult, is what im saying
will Halone use Nibelung Valesti
I only watched the trailer once but it mostly just seemed all
Nophica and Halone got hands
Oh and Zero is there
its been here for like a week
Could swear Althyk was gonna be the last raid
he's earth
the only outlier is Nymeia
not entirely
Yeah, Nymeia is with her partner Althyk, which breaks the pattern
most likely is fire only because we see the fire pillar at thavnier
Menphina's theme seems to be something about the heart
halone or menphina.
its Menphina
we dont know
It's Halone
Halone is final boss of menphrosyne (i think its this name)
Im guessing about the next one now
i believe its menphina
halone's arena looks more like a final boss arena than menphina's to me
When Yoshi previewed Euphrosyne, he actually showed Althyk rapidly aging the plants in the Heaven of Earth and made a set of platforms we probably hop along towards the Bole
Cause i thought Wind and Water are for the last one
If it follows the same order as Aglaia it's Nophica Althyk Halone Menphina
In my head the Patron deities of each Starter city would be the final bosses
Since we got Naldthal in Aglaia i thought Nophica would be the next one
Tis was some people’s hopes, yeah
I hope it's Halone because I want an absolutely headbanging Ishgardian prayer orch roll, like Nald'Thal's Uldahn prayer
Menphina is very weird XD
But Halone seems the most likely to be final, I didn’t hear enough of the voiced song lyrics to piece who it might be for
we hear the song
Yeah we heard the song already
Ishgard doesn't have very much violins in its music
You can hear the hardcore violin going off
and I love it
Based on its melody and sound, it fits Menphina more than Halone, but hard to tell
Also Halone seems like Final Boss material
She does with her quote for sure
Well In The Balance had coins clinking
Then again
Yeah her ultimate is ushering in a Lunar Cry with Dalamud

You don't design Halone like Malenia's sane stepsister and not have her be the final boss
Menphina being Althyk sister would be very cool as a final boss
Halone desing makes me proud of liking PLD
Then Halone is just
Something something getsuga tensho
Tbf, the moon goddess with her deadly dog is also good design for a final boss
Wish we could have her Hair Color XD
its Ultimate End
The paladins are eating well this patch
Watch it be both, Alliance A fights Halone and B and C fight Menphina
CAN I FINALLY GO BACK TO BEING PLD I WONDER
its the same stance
Enough with the Ends, we on Omega now
Tbf, Sen, Menphina predates Allag.
And Menphina supposedly predates Dalamud
I mean with halone lol
It's clearly
OLD END

But also you fools her ultimate is clearly Exalibur
X SU CALIBARRRRR
I wonder what its gonna be about
the ultimate patterns stays undefeated I think
As an Ishgardian, I’m so very glad Halone looks /good/.
i mean i wouldnt put it past her making her hound later
"We don't follow a pattern for ultimates"
i dont see halone adopting to that though
I’d like to be her hound.
WHICH MEANS: SHINRYU IS NEXT LES GOOOOO
There's a clear and obvious pattern they're sticking to with Ultimates
The funny thing is Halone wielding a greatsword, of course
So we calling it “topU” 🤭🤭

I cant wait for Shinryu
Ishgard’s “no gross that’s a Dark Knight’s weapon”
7.1 Shinryu Ultimate, 7.3 Eden Ultimate, 8.1 Hades Ultimate, 8.3 Pandae Ultimate
The second image makes me feel happy for Paladins for some reason
Shinryu and then Eden'Promise and then Hades and then I guess they'll have to come up with something else
Gaius Ultimate
I think she is so real for that
There is definitely gonna be a Hades Ultimate, he is too popular to not have one
This also bothers me because the dog isn’t red
That was interesting I thought it’d turn into a sword and shield…
That was UWU
Like, why wouldn’t it be a shade of red, why wouldnt it have some red accessory
Or an actual spear.
No that doesn’t count
It does, it transforms between spear/shield and a long sword
Btw the Twelve are even more Anime then i thought XD
Menphina with the Twintails lol
I love Thordan and seeing Halone stanced up like that makes me love Thordan more, idk why
If he is not physically stepping on my corpse then it is not a Gaius Ultimate. 😤
There’s something so ridiculous about Nymeia and Althyk’s designs,
I love him too he’s very hot.
Nice taste.
Her big ass spinning wheel and his floating cape clips

Im all about Nophica Front like Lina Mewrilah says
Funnily her front wasnt shown
I think my favorite twelve gonna come out of this batch, when i fantasia again im changing up from Rhalgr (tough he is very badass and MNK is fastily approaching being my favorite job now)
Menphina is the cutest. I chose my patron deity wisely 🙏
Now that i think about it Rhalgr is a Punch Mage lol
LOL
It’s true
Cue Ina Forehead jokes again
Don't diss her like that???
DPS phase where Halone summons all seven Thordans, please
So menphina is just Ina avatar in FF XIV huh
I’m going to she’s ugly 
Fucking billboard forehead
I think we only had 2 Thordans tough?
Put the billboard™️ on there
Guess more Alternative Ends incoming
King Thordan
The Thordan we fight in HW is Thordan VII - Thordan the Seventh
Still this settles it: I WILL BEAT AN ULTIMATE THIS TIME
Don't forget Dragon King
DSR 2 Halone Boogaloo
I’d play DSU just to hear Thordan beg for mercy each time. 
Even if it has to be the newest one but i made it my goal since i started playing 2 years ago and i will do it
Also the Ice Deities Hair Color is Divine as fuck
I wish there was that shade of Blue
In customize
wait wait hold on, this scene
they're in the omphalos
why are there floating trees

Yeah
I think the one on the left is Nymeria and the one on the Right is Althyk?
I hope Lymlaen looks like a Pirate XD
Nymeia, but yes
I hope she’s a beautiful mermaid 
I guess that could also be too
The statue we have of her has her as a winged mermaid so
Oschon and Lymnlaen will probably have green hair
I think Llymlaen would be either a siren or a mermaid. She's the Navigator so I can't see her as a pirate
We could have Pirate Mermaid!
Saw that combo a few times
Thaliak we already know very well how he looks
Since the statue on Sharlayan is very detailed
Like a nerd
More like Hot Anime Nerd
Let me see who is missing?
No one huh
We actually saw 5 this time
How weird
Only 3 left then
Let me check the LL Translation a bit then ill come back
Thaliak, Llymlaen, and Oschon remain
Which ofc means, Thalia needs a whole other entity for its extra boss

And that's when || Equinox will finally appear ||

Oh her “wings” are just legitimately ice crystals,
It was hard to tell with the shots of her in battle, bc it was ice on ice on ice
it just looked like a pauldron to me tbh
It’s some crystalline fixture with three major spikes, and a gold disc that’s hard to discern much detail on
no its like uh
Meanwhile Nymeia has some really uncomfortable pants
Oh does Menphina’s armor mirror her sister’s tattoos
!iglam Classical Dimachaerius's Manicae
The ice thing on her back? Or you mean her gauntlet
yeah that;s what I hear,
time to check if it disappears when she's doing Lunar Cry
wonder
whether phase 2 is her riding dalamud
or if her and dalamud merge
wolf waifu
oh yeah she keeps it,
...uh I'll outline
..shoulda just pulled this one
she's giving way too much popstar vibes, I swear
she's SERAPHINE.
she's the missing link between Sona and Seraphine.
Isn't Seraphine the character with the weird backstory to her art?
you fool
You fool
you fool
A valiant effort
Gg
hey want me to preemptively ruin the Halone fight for y'all
by pinpointing the frame her weapons change models
well wait
isn't Pandaemonium Wing 3 supposed to reference Elysium when the omicron quests reference it already?
I can't get over her HAIR
maybe they just straight up are crossing the streams
well we think it will be elysium
peeps in the flailing animation during the Nymeia/Althyk gravity twist
it's most definitely Black Hole/Tartarus 
cocytus tho
deepest circle of hell, where lucifer is imprisoned in a frozen lake
mirrors athena
they can greekify the spelling by saying Kokytos
lol
kok
been going frame-by-frame to try and find Nymeia/Althyk's arena, but no dice,
only shot of their fight is the black hole and the star texture overrides everything behind it but the players
i can guess what it is
Atop the Bole?
this square platform https://i.imgur.com/lGm1G1l.png
althyk raises it up
kinda looks like we're heading towards it
Wait so who will be the dual boss this time
Also her loom really is just, fucking, floating behind her
So which of the twelve are we seeing? I saw and recognized Nophica and Halone, but I wasn’t sure who those other 3 were
Girl you are the patron of WEAVERS and her fit is ugly
nophica, althyk + nymeia, halone, and menphina
Haha Nophica has a scythe
This is Nymeia, Menphina, and Althyk
Thank you both!
no yeah, Nophica has a scythe
she's the red-headed scythe mommy changing the seasons
Wait I got it right for once
also reminder this is a family photo, all that's missing is Menphina's sister Azeyma
Oh no is nymeia…goth?

So that leaves us with 3 and some mysterious baddie because didn’t they hint at 3 levels/sections to the raid?
The best way I can describe Nymeia's outfit is,
Not that, I mean with how the raid was shown to us originally
like a harlequin?
No way we get a goth goddess when we're already getting a Hot Topic boss in the new dungeon
pash i cant remember
does anyone worship althyk
that we know of
cuz he looks, like
...well that can't be comfortable...
we don't have any regions with Althyk and Nymeia as patrons, they're very general bc they're kinda the Zeus/Hera of the pantheon
Nymeia is on the gil coin, for example
Sons of Saint Coinach, probably
I'll say, Nymeia is credited with creating Silvertear Falls with her tears when she first cried as a baby,
and Nymeia and Althyk are the ones said to have brokered the deal with Midgardsormir for him to become the Keeper of the Lake,
Althyk receives praise from historians and archeologists, and Saint Coinach is one of Althyk's Saints
I black out any and all Hildibrand matters
but the Sons are still a Sharlayan organization so likely a bunch of Nerd Worshippers
You will oil the muscles
is it mentioned its a solo duty for godbert?
It looks like it
it appears to be bc the camera looks like we have Godbert's perspective
i dont know it look like cutscene to me
Unless they just locked the camera onto him and he's a party member in a duty
Excited to try topU
that was not a cutscene
That was definitely gameplay
...this is one of the closest shots to her face..
you can see Halone and Nophica are alongside Menphina and her parents in that scene, but it fades before they come into view
arm
yeah
also thats omphalos
there's a bunch of trees floating to the right
changes to the area then

... so we're no longer going in clockwise order, huh?
no we are
(not that we ever had to stick with that, obvs)
hmm, I was gonna try and say Menphina's right arm and leg accessories mirror Azeyma's left arm/leg tattoos,
Something about her is inexplicably punchable
there's not much of a resemblance though, is there
not really
I was hoping for more familiar elements when they're sun/moon sisters, ah well
i was gonna make an elune/winter queen comparison but
ofc, this is assuming the myths are true 
As in who made the Twelve?
who designed them
who designed their looks for the series
as in the artist
i still think the garo artist made nald'thal, had to
like I adore that Azeyma, Nophica, and Rhalgr are 1:1 to depictions of 'em,
and how much the others differ from expectations
but still match their briefs from the original write-ups,
Althyk and his greataxe, for example.
...and Nymeia and her loom
Btw Yoshi-P seems to have said in the LL that Nophica couldnt be shown from the front due to NSFW reasons lol
imma need source on that
Did he say because of or not because of?
He just doesn’t want to show the face to not spoil he’s a nice guy
M A T R O N ' S T E A T S .
I thought it was the opposite.
I dunno if its true naturally but this is what i got from the LL Channel since i was reading it
Dunno if it really was Spoiler reasons or NSFW reasons now damn
Yes I can’t show you but itl be in the game anyway 
It's NOT because of NSFW reasons.
Not because it would be nsfw, is what he's saying
Guess it was spoiler reasons in the end
its worded in a confusing manner but, i think he says he didnt show nophica for OTHER reasons, NOT because it was nsfw
But I do wonder how it would be a spoiler
He was joking like extending the trial
Im both disappointed and also curious now XD
wtf is wrong with her eyes
Cocaine
bad quality, screenshots are hard 

I think it's really that he doesn't want to spoil how Nophica looks. He wants to stretch that anticipation out as much as possible until the patch releases.
Lina Mewrilah Liked this.
this place is huge,
also, Garlean symbol, woo
took a screenshot myself
I hope its not that she is corrupted or something by something id say.
I think there’s a trash pack on the train, another trash back on the snowy hill, the first boss is that yeti guy
I only see the RPR symbol
then we go into the cave so that the doll is the second boss
3rd section is ceruleum deposits
in the background on the a banner,
I assume there's a void fissure down below, but idk at this point
No, I think it's really "people are really invested in Nophica's appearance because of her card art, I know people really want to see what she looks like, and I want the reveal of that to be when the patch comes out. Because discussion about it is going to dominate the conversation and I don't want the conversation to be centered on one boss appearance vs. everything else that''s coming in the patch."
Now i need a new job for Euphrosyne
Probably not. It's more likely of how..."endowed" she is, that by showing off her front, there'd be a lot of complaints and/or monkeying around. Someone found a blurry pic of her side, so yeah. That's my take.
Oh lol my brightness was too low
I haven’t decided whether Cagnazzo will be in the dungeon or not
that aether burst in Radz seems like it’ll either be at the beginning of the patch or setting up for the trial
this village wasn't mentioned in rpr quests right? i dont recall
It was not
also to show what I mean by "seasonal shifts"
snowy evergreens into spring flowers, and the default is fall fields, I assume
I guess... while i do want to see Nophica a lot, is her appearance that big of a thing now? Even im surprised if this would happen 😂
Her tits are.
Only cause people have been joking about her tits
Well they did say that the "side" was really impressive lol.
It's the same reason they're basically never going to age up Alphinaud and Alisaie.
Btw Alphi and Ali are back again
oh look the next trash pack,
And here i thought it would take a while
Unfortunately 
People get REALLY ATTACHED to some stuff and that can result in stuff getting a lot of outsized attention.
it's crystal ladies and a new tall crystal dude model
ITS ONLY BEEN 2 PATCHES DAMNIT
I wonder if Nophica's spoiler is because it was kan-e-senna the whole time.
Make me miss you a bit more dangit XD
No.
Normal field standard has the chain on an ivory field, so this must be the Reaper specific banner
Love it
Man, I really hope we get some Garlean armor out of this Patch
That would be very out there id say
Doubt.
she may resemble Kan-E-Senna because of the people of Girdania associating the Seedseer to the Matron, but that's depending on, like,
Every alliance raid is the exact same pattern and I respect that
how the nature of the Twelve is, I suppose
They hide it well sometimes
In 3 weeks and a few days, we'll know more about Nophica. 'Til then, all we've got are blurry photos.
Looks like they gonna be real beeg in the end
Will have to wait for datamines to find out I guess sighhh but I doubt it
But it’s always Boss-trash-boss-trash-boss-boss
Anyway in honor of Nophica and the whole Euphrosyne elements
Because trash is trash
Im gonna level a WHM or a SGE now
I was going to say, I feel like Menphina looks like Kan-e or at least one of the uh small dragon children whatsits
I wonder what is better
Saber Halone
She has the weird horn shapes
Same
We don't see her front, so how do we know she'll be 1:1 to the card? Ginger hair though, I do like. 
the padjals?
Halone is Malenia tough
Yeah
Feels more like a Valkyrie to me
It’s been going on for a while ^
SHE GONNA BE LARGE PEOPLE
She gonna be BIG
Huuuuuuge tracts of land
Ginger hair and a green robe dress, i don’t really care about her tits or her face lol
She would've had a spear if Reaper never came out
MASSIVE personality
WHAT'RE THOSE
ENORMOUS character
Makes sense Mother Earth would have Huge Tracts of Land
(statues in Menphina's arena)
Prob just statues that look cool
Pic I was talking about earlier. Kinda blurry, but the side is shown off well enough, perhaps.
Frozen catboys
Nophica suddenly seems like a Reaper guardian deity lol
Same for Rhalgr and Monks
Or Halone and Paladins
I’m pretty sure we get better looks in the trailer
She's gonna reap our sinner souls and boy have I sinned
small things from me watching frame-by-frame, snowflakes in Menphina's spell particles
dayum, the THIRST
Actually Rhalgr fits for both Black Mages and Monks actually

Talk about being a Punch Mage lol
Menphina isn't what I expected her to look like
I didn’t expect pigtails but I think it’s cute
I like how she looks like an XII char
I think Menphina is the most surprising one out of this bunch lol
Does she match her card art?
She looks awful imo
She doesn't have art
Oh
Expectation: Hot Aquarius Like Moon Goddess
Reality: We Got Divine Hatsune Miku with Wolf
Hold back the horny you already have nophica feeding you
you can see Nophica's feet in a shot and I'm surprised that's not bown up like the sideboob in brilliant lighting,
Nymeia’s super cool looking too
halone is everything i'd hoped for
cease the react spam.
Feeding what now mah friend?
Was just once, but my bad. Cause you know..."interpretations" and all that.
not my fault y’all have brains in the gutter
more people into boobs than feet
Halone wielding the Superior Great Sword for extra range and damage
Im the personification of this after all
I wish Nophica was feeding meAHEM
I still want my Cowgirl Race YOSHI-P!
I think nymeia’s cool looking
I’m happy we’re getting her with althyk lol
i mean ishgard does have dark knight so it makes sense i suppose
this is thancred
behold, foot
they been well ahead of that
but also what the fuck is the Heaven of Earth
Stylish
wheat
Looks preacrful
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE
That’s the heaven of fire in the distance
I mean did the past 2 realms make sense too?
duh
Ayo, leave the trees alone man
What they do to you
Why is Nophica wielding a Scythe? What if the reason they didn't show her face was because she's undead or some kind of reaper?
