Oh, shut up and help me remodel the The Tower of Babil (Final Fantasy XIV) page!
From the ruins of the Garlean imperial palace rises the Tower of Babil, a monstrous edifice constructed by Fandaniel and Zenos's enthralled hordes. While its exact purpose has yet to be ascertained, it is here that the would-be orchestrators of the Final Days await the Warrior of Light, who now spearheads a daring mission to infiltrate the tower and vanquish the Telophoroi once and for all.

Musical themes[]
"Garlemald Express", an arrangement of Garlemald's field theme "White Snow, Black Steel", plays at all times in the dungeon except boss battles.
Behind the scenes[]
The Tower of Babil is based on the location of the same name in Final Fantasy IV. While the tower in Final Fantasy IV did not provide a means to travel to the moon, it was the holding place for the crystals obtained by Golbez, who sought to use their power to open the way to the moon.
Barnabas and Lugae reprise their roles as bosses in the Tower of Babil, with Barnabas mistakenly attacking its creator at the start of battle and Lugae transforming into a skeletal form of his own after Barnabas fails to stop the party. The use of Toad and Mini statuses during Lugae's battle also alludes to their presence as Final Fantasy IV status effects.
Anima originated as an Aeon in Final Fantasy X, with its signature attack Oblivion being used at the end of the battle's second phase. The use of Varis' remains to channel Anima into being references the role of fayth in creating summonable aeons.
Etymology[]
Tower of Babel is from a story from the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Scriptures/Old Testament/Torah, as well as other various ancient documents. The story tells of how early humanity began construction on a great tower that would extend to the heavens. However, God determined "nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them" so confused their language and scattered them over the face of all earth, leaving the tower and its city abandoned.
