FFXIV Travel Log: Europhsyne

Europhsyne is the second of the FFXIV Endwalker Alliance Raid series, Myths of the Realm.

Europhsyne, like Agalia and Thalia, uses a very consistent orange and blue color contrast throughout. The theme is the most pronounced in this raid out of the three due to its relatively monotone segments.

The orange patina works to good effect in the starter areas and evokes a nice warmth and harvest glow. The golden fields hit just the right atmospheric note.

As we enter the realm of ice, however, many of the finer details are obscured by monochrome blue color palette.

I do see those statue Dragoons wielding my Gae Bolg, which was a great surprise.

There's one deliberate point of contrast with the orange moon.

I think it alludes to the next boss fight, where the moon is the thematic focus.

I would have liked to see this last boss arena pull the warm and cool themes together more coherently. The fight itself is easy and fun though, with great music.

G'raha is here to meet us at the end. Clearly he's admonishing me to put on some real clothes.

Get out of here with your weird instrument, G'raha. Go get some tacos or whatever it is that cat boys do all day. I'll just vanquish Gods in my pajamas with a spear of legend, thanks.
