I was excited fighting Xenos because it was like a mirror match. Then, in ShB, i was Dark Knigjt because it felt right. I wanted to go with Reaper in EW because it felt right. I didn't know Xenos would go reaper as well. So again, it was fighting a mirror of myself. So it was truly fitting when we both dropped our weapons and fought bare handed... we were reflections of each other. It was truly an experience.

Normally, I'd steer clear of videos likes these to avoid spoilers since I'm still in Stormblood, but I like what I see. I got as far as SBLD post-base campaign with one of my two characters I played with the most before I had to halt sub renewal (Partly due to personal reasons and the fact that I have so many games to play). Another reason I'm still in SBD, SCREW having to pain-stakingly grind your gear level just to access end-game quests because that's the one thing that stalled my progression the worst. (enough said there.) It's been about 4 or 5 years since I've last logged on to FF14, but the more I think about it, the I want to come back. I had quite an experience with this game. Any picture, music, or video related makes me wanna return even more and I intend to one of these days. Soon enough, I hope.☺

We even during that we get dialogue to keep the viewer/player engaged. Notice that after the main chorus kicks back in, the dialogue stops too. The last part speaks for itself as the music hypes up. You can 100% play this fight and end up with the music unmatched.
