You are initially pitched against a single tempered soldier. From the very beginning, there's a timer on-screen (implicitly, how long you have until Zenos reaches Camp Broken Glass). The helplessness the player is made to feel in this situation cannot be understated.What follows is a mad dash through hordes of enemies, culminating in an incredibly strict Active Time Maneuver simply to keep your heart from stopping through sheer willpower. The problem? Not only is there a literal army of tempered soldiers and magitek blocking your way, but you have nothing at your disposal. Wearing your face (complete with a gleeful smirk), Zenos departs to kill everyone back at base camp - leaving you to rush after him in the hopes of stopping the slaughter. Relatively early in the main questline, Zenos and Fandaniel use Aulus mal Asina's soul-manipulating tech to pull a Body Swap - putting your soul into the body of a random Imperial soldier, and Zenos's soul into yours.

Urban combat with magitek and further prodding by Fandaniel then reduced the Garleans' "shining city" to the ruined husk we see, with whatever buildings that weren't leveled stripped clean to build the Tower of Babil.

Unlike the simply destructive Voidsent or Ashkin, or the majestically instinctual Sin Eaters, the Terminus only seem to murder and convert for the sake of pure destruction and violence while looking like walking night terrors. The launch trailer is even worse, as we get close-ups of some of the Terminus beasts as they go about devouring civilization.Enough to block out the skies and bring ruin to places that you would think would be mostly safe.
FFXIV AMADINE FULL
From the full intro of this expansion, Terminus monsters are pouring into the world wholesale similar to what we saw during the end of Amaurot.The Final Days have begun and Hydaelyn is burning, with Fandaniel having kept his promise of reenacting the apocalypse that felled the world of the ancients, down to and including summoning back the Terminus beasts in order to bring about the end he so desires.
