The Palace of the Dead [๐ท๐]
69Do not fear the dead's groans as you descend into Hell, for as long as you hold steadfast, your mind will be protected from the insanity of the Palace of the Dead.
Today's Worldline Locale "The Palace of the Dead" is strictly off-limits to tourists. The Trans-Universal Travel Research Agency cautions that the Palace of the Dead is extremely dangerous and not to be visited until quarantined by the Agency.
The Palace of the Dead represents a crossing not simply from our Worldline to another, but the unprecedented crossing of two Worldlines independently to one another. Worldline 18971-XYTEGENIA (as documented in archival reports as "Tactics Ogre - Let Us Cling Together") is connected to a far disparate Worldline 27193-HYDAELYN (as documented in archival reports as "Final Fantasy XIV"). These Worldlines have low valence together and lack basic narrative compatibility. The presence of Tactics Ogre's Palace of the Dead in Final Fantasy XIV thus represents a highly anomalous, highly destabilizing occurrence that must be investigated and neutralized at any cost necessary.
Beware Agents...we suspect there is a strong counterforce engineering these developments by leveraging the burst of energy produced in the poignant transition between life and death itself. We cannot guarantee your safety in this realm.
Chief's Log: Tactics Ogre's soundtrack is probably one of my favorite of all time, and it bugs me that many people have not heard it because TO wasn't as popular of a game (even with PSP remake). But what I did like is that Square recognized the brilliance of the game's music and lore in bringing locations and characters such as the master necromancer Nybeth Obdilord to Final Fantasy XIV as a deep dungeon and bringing great remastered tracks from the PSP Tactics Ogre remake to the FFXIV OST.
How strange is it to have worldlines colliding like this?
Lyrics for this piece were:
Fog of Phantom
Place where the dead are denied rest
Welcome to the Palace of the Dead
Here unto the grave of all of you fools who wantonly tread!
Welcome to the Palace of the Dead
Here unto the grave of all who tread
๐ต Song: Fog of Phantom
๐ฎ Game: Tactics Ogre & Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward
๐ผ Composer: Masaharu Iwata
