Hey there! So youtube does this silly thing where once i set it for a premiere, it locks it for some reason. But I usually have these up about 12 hours prior to premiere set so you can catch them then. I hope they fix it someday :/

Wait is it supposed to be the actual video or is it meant to be a link for the YouTube premier?

Ultima weapon or Ultimate weapon has been in every FF game that I have played. He a recurring secret boss that is extremely hard. Much harder than the final boss. He's probably been in every FF game but i'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong

"The Minstrel's Ballad: The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate)" is the name of this trial, though most XIV players just refer to it as Ultima Weapon Ultimate or UwU for short :p
It's basically an optional hardcore difficulty boss rush against bosses you have previously fought as part of the story. All the music here is arrangement versions of the original boss themes. You have already listened to Garuda's theme ("Fallen Angel") in the original version and Titan's theme "Under the Weight" has a remix in one of the later expansions called "Landslide" which you've also reacted to not long ago.
The band arrangements here are performed by the Primals; Ifrit's theme was originally composed by Nobuo Uematsu, everything else by Masayoshi Soken. And yeah, the Eorzean Symphony arrangement of Ultima is the same one that is used in this battle.
