FFXIV Endwalker - Part 48: Gateway of the Gods [Unspoiled]
My first run of the Tower of Babil. Anima.

-I'm so happy to see the Balnab/Barnabas and Lugae return from FFIV here. They even had Barnabas start the fight by bopping Lugae!
-I thought Lugae at first was taking on the form of Edge's dad, but that's just coincidence I'm pretty sure. It's really just his final form from the FFIV Lugae fight.
-Lugae said that Zenos appointed him, which surprised me. He seems MUCH more like a Fandaniel pick.
-Legit shocked that Anima wasn't a trial. It was an INCREDIBLE dungeon boss, so much so that it even felt like a trial!
-It fits perfectly as a paragon of Garlemald. Nothing noble there. Just pain and bondage and using the pain of others as weapons.
-I don't think it clicked while playing, but I get now that the threat keeping us from just chasing down Fandaniel and Zenos was the tempered running amok, presumably destroying and killing everything they can.
-One of my favorite bits of villain characterization is when the villains mess up. This is both why I loved the touch with Fandaniel where the barrier held and why I hate the Big Bad in the most recent WoW expansion, the Jailer.
-I agree with Azulmagia about the stress of Babil. I died once, but it feels way less chaotic than the boss mechanics in Zot.
