1.23, the beginning of the end
So it's finally here, patch 1.23. The beginning of the Seventh Umbral era, mass destruction of Eorzea via Dalamud, and the ushering of 2.0. Woohoo? I gotta say, the timing for this patch was horrible for me. It's extremely difficult to stomach this game immediately following a GW2 beta weekend. Luckily, cutscenes are one thing SE never had a problem with. Though I have to say, I was pretty disappointed they didn't bust out the voice acting for this one like I expected them to.. but that's probably nitpicking.
The Legatus encounter is nothing special itself. Neat mechanics I suppose, but very easy. There will be a "hard mode" added in 1.23a, which is presumably where shit gets all end-of-the-world. I won't bother explaining the fight, because who cares. You fight Legatus.
My particular role in the fight wasn't too exciting either, as I was charged with running up the multi-level arena and destroying meteors to prevent them from dropping on our heads during the encounter.
Might make for a nice dps/awareness test in hard mode since they can come rather quickly at times, but we'll see. Victory, evil plan thwarted. Or... is it? DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNN.
Obviously he'll be back soon, and shit will go down. I took multiple screenshots of the cutscenes until I remembered you could re-view them in your mog house, so I took the liberty of recording the pre/post fight scenes for those of you who can't be bothered to see them for yourself. Enjoy.
Like I said, would have been so much better if they voiced it. But either way this is just the beginning. A few meteors hit the ground, and Dalamud has begun the takeover. Now lets see how they end it.
