    I appreciate that WoL victory poses match the mood of the dungeon or current story

    I've noticed that the WoL has different victory animations after certain dungeon bosses.

    I just did Shadowbringers' Holminster Switch dungeon (great level) and due to
    villagers being killed whilst fleeing, or likely turned into awakened bein...sorry sin eaters,
    after the boss my character didn't do a jubilant victory pose but looked introspective/unhappy.

    It's a good touch. I first noticed this after doing Tam Tara Deepcroft (hard). After
    Edda falls off the edge with her robe set on fire and a smile on her face,
    if my character did her jubilant female Miqo'te pose (where she stands on one leg with her hands together smiling) I probably would've burst out laughing at how out of touch and inappropriate it would've been. It's a small thing, but one that without care would've probably ruined what they were going for emotion-wise.

    I appreciate how the victory music doesn't give a shit and plays anyway.

    There's a unique one at the end of Wanderer's Palace Hard back at level 50.

    The party starts to do the standard victory pose, then are interrupted by a swarm of tonberries running in at the fallen boss. Cut to your party looking on in horror as they brutally stab him to death just offscreen.


    A number of dungeons use the more somber pose instead, depending on the tone. It's a nice touch.

    I always liked this one. Remembers me of the end of Bioshock, where the mistreated little sisters give Fontaine what that ***** had long deserved.

    Some quests do not have victory music at the end (Silence or into a cut scene).

    It's a nice detail that I appreciate as well.

    It is a nice touch, but I really wish the party celebrated together rather than our character zoning out for a few seconds. It's always been awkward.

    I also wish that the WOL wasn't always at the front and center the party. But that also ties into my dislike of being the one and only true god/giga-MC. I also dislike how in the Ocean Fishing cutscenes, the WOL is always standing away from the group and aura farming instead dancing and chatting with them.

    Lyse is great if you play in Japanese. The English VA totally butchered her character.
