Has anyone actually died to Ultimate End? I'm talking about the very last part where King Thordan breaks the screen. Is it even possible for a party to get wiped by this?

The first time I did the fight both healers died from the ability he does before he zones the area out. As a result all of the dps died during his screen breaker, and only the 2 tanks were left alive to kill him.
Unless DPS is crap, I don't think so. You'd have to take forever and have Thordan build his Limit Break gauge up to full. I'd love to see how much it would do though.
I think, like Lahabrea from 2.0 before him, Thordan isn't really meant to kill you unless you mess up. It's a battle with almost every floor mechanic from the CT and flashy lights (and screen shattering, because screen shatters are the best), but it's not really hard.
The Laha/Ige pair is meant more as a final boss, difficulty-wise since in their second portion they have at least two separate party-wide instant kills they can use repeatedly if you don't meet the checks, rather than just the one. They're also tighter checks. Basically, I'd compare it to the Ultima Weapon fight from 2.0. If you can beat Ultima, Lahabrea is for sleeping through.
Plus, Ige uses some pretty obnoxious abilities when she starts flying around in the first part of the battle.
It'll only kill if you get their LB gauge to max; it increases with every mechanic you mess up, and decreases dramatically when you go through a mechanic with no mess ups.
This is what happens when that Limit Break is at full power

I usually go blind from all the special effects before then so I can't really tell you what happens. I imagine the EX version will just be a flashing white screen.
Can't wait for the EX version where everyone will probably die to this for a good month or two
It would be neat if we get that as a extreme mode and it drops weapons.
I know dark knights would be happy to wield King Thordan's sword. :P But any other weapons in a sort of royal knight motif is something we haven't really had yet. I'd imagine they'd look pretty cool.
I can totally imagine that you have to kill all the knights as they appear in order to not die from that skill in EX.
Vengence for our Elezen brother.
I can't wait to see the EX mode of that fight. I loved it when I first entered.
Wouldn't it be hilarious if Flailing Thorton hits really hard EX? Hard enough to almost one shot something?
