Wish one of the new bosses in the current alliance raid had its own theme (spoilers)

Speaking of Halone specifically, I was sad she didn't get her own theme since she was so powerful and cool (literally) lol.

Giving Halone like a Heavensward-like theme would be really cool for her.

The theme used for the first three bosses fits the first 2 fights (Nophica, Althyk, and Nymeia) well enough, but it really doesn't suit Halone imo.

Honestly yeah.
I really like the Raid Theme, but its disappointing that Halone didnt get her own theme
And with how they Promoted the Raid, Im shocked she wasnt the Final Boss..

Menphina being the final boss didn't make sense to me either.

Halone has a much greater impact in the game. She's worshipped by a city-state, feared and revered by so many. Meanwhile, Menphina is mentioned here and there, but we never see a major worship of her.

I guess the dev team wanted to do other songs than "Guide us O Mighty Fury" again...

But it does make sense in the greater scope of the expansion in general - what SE have been consistantly using to advertise EW - the moon (it's even on the banner at the top of this forum!), and so featuring Menphina front and centre as the goddess of the moon in the Twelve only fits that.

Halone on the other hand... already featured heavily back in HW, so she was always going to pushed to side.

Mommy Halone Gang!

I did think of that. After all, this was the expansion where we go to the moon + the preorder reward item was the Menphina Earring.

...that said, I think it stops at that. The expansion's only focus on the moon has been the MSQ to kill Zodiark and meet the loporrits, then Hildibrand, and assuming it goes as I'm expecting it, probably the MSQ again for Golbez.
Menphina's fight features the moon as a symbol and she constantly draws power from "a moon"*, but that moon is nowhere to be seen around the arena save from the indicators. The moons we find in the Heaven of Ice aren't even real either, just representations.

It may be that that's the logic they chose to follow. But to me, that logic is kind of... "eh"? It needed a better execution :x it looks weak otherwise.

Halone being featured heavily in HSW is exactly what I said tho :P they got tired of going "Guide us O Mighty Fury" over and over again. But it'd be nice to see this "Fury" they keep dreading as an actual final encounter in all her splendor.

Then again, by this logic, Rhalgr should have been the final boss of Aglaia since he has a lot more prominence than Nald'thal does in the MSQ. So it'd be natural to not see Halone as the final piece. Which in turn makes me wonder who will be the final boss of the third raid, assuming it won't be Lucky God #13.

I wish they'd all got their own themes tbh

I wish all the Gods got more content in general. Themes, minions, housing portraits, Glamours... The Twelve was always a mysterious topic to me, something I wanted to badly explore because it read as if each of the Gods have uniqueness to them. I imagine my WoL to be somewhat pious as well. Like, it's such a massive deal in my mind to meet literal Gods, our chosen patron deities...

Huh, funny. I didnt think of or consider both of those.
But, yeah still Halone is way more interesting then Menphina. No hate though, because despite my personal feelings, I did still enjoy the raid and her fight.
Best Boy is Best Boy...and should totally become a Mount
