#syrcus tower

[waywardworldhopper]

So it only took us about an hour and at least a dozen pulls, but through the sheer power of camaraderie, coordination, and pure sticktoitiveness (and no small amount of perverse stubbornness), 24 strangers managed to down The Minstrel's Ballad: Amon's Revenge!

Syrcus Tower: The Crystal Tower

(Famicom, DS, Pixel Remaster, 012 Duodecim, Opera Omnia)

(I delayed the post intending to go back to 012 and get a better screen, but I kinda gave up and just threw the wiki's image on there)

Fancy a spot of mummery?

a couple of times in heaven can wait i mention the map by the teleporter cubes in the crystal tower.

this is entirely canon and you can see it yourself every time roulette drops you in syrcus tower. every time you hit a new teleport crystal by the boss rooms, there's a little map of the crystal tower! it fills up as you go up the structure, until at the top it's full.

there's always been a lot of neat little details, but sycrus tower in particular got such a glow-up with the graphics update, i feel. i'm still sick of it, don't get me wrong, but at least it's very pretty now.

Dark Academia gpose challenge: Secret History

In Sharlayan AU, Severia and Nero are the archeologists in charge of excavating the Crystal Tower rather than the Sons of Saint Coinach. But nothing they learned in the solemn halls of learning in Sharlayan could have prepared them for what they found there.

The Crystal Tower

[superthatguy62]

In a late Act 4 chapter of Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia, Xande explains that the Crystal Tower is made of pure light and that it can resonate with the crystals, causing them to lash out.

This is one of those details from Final Fantasy III that's blink-and-you-miss-it: The Earth Crystal more or less explains that this is what Xande is doing.

The primary difference is that in Final Fantasy III, Xande was using the Crystal Tower to summon the Cloud of Darkness. In Opera Omnia, Xande attempts to use the tower for his goals - namely to achieve immortality and bring the Great Spirit into the World of Respite (I think. I only looked at a bit of that chapter).

Tired and bored of Syrcus Tower and Labyrinth of the Ancients? Don't worry, I found a solution! Not really a solution for not getting it, because I cannot help with that. But hear me out and maybe this might help you as well.

Usually the FF14 music gets me through even some boring dungeons. As with the two Crystal Tower raids this is a bit difficult, because I got bored of that as well. Some of you might know about my obsession with the Persona games. At a whim I switched of FF14 music (which I really rarely do, because it simply is soooo good) and put on the following while doing Labyrinth of the Ancients - "Life Will Change" from Persona 5.

Totally different feeling. Always loved that moment in P5, when you get to the last part of a mind palace and walk up to the boss while that music plays in the background.

So, problem fixed. You're welcome!
