As good as endwalker cinematic intermission transitions were, this one is much more epic in my opinion purely because there is no break, no pause, no checkpoint. Just a 10 second breather and then u go right back into action. Music being a banger only adds a cherry on top.
@@Ez-pu4tl Not only that the transformation also has a mech in it which made the fight even more intense. I hope they will do it for the next tier too.
Phase 1 sounds like a hero, or a fallen hero, is on her last day. Phase 2 sounds like that hero's final stand. Plot armor is gone, but she is going down swinging.
@@ericbright1742 phase 2 is indeed Final stand but due to Hero losing all her reasoning. Getting so blinded by desire to Win and get WoL's Soul... Forgetting the most important detail (and why she stops in a regular fight)... What is the point of getting WoL's Soul if this Overclocked Transformation move was clearly something she NEVER used (as even commentator is shocked) and really looks like it would cost her her life whether she wins or not? WoL's Soul is not some magic pill to eat - she has to be alive to post process it and fix her own Soul... Which is kinda hard when you burned everything you had for that last extra bit of power and crumble into lightning crystal dust at the end.
@@Ghostel3591technically desperation, she know she's fucked, and probably assumes the WoL will kill her when given the chance, and then for her is eternal. So she goes full Resident Evil boss for a slim chance of victory, forgetting that in any case she's already done.
Oh man I am pumped for someone to upload this with the phase transition and phase 2 cuz it looks sick as hell and syncs with the song itself really well.
me and you both. we know for a fact we are going to fight her again theres no way around it. its just a question of WHEN. and what the music will be then. i know with each raid set we keep going "damn this is so good! how in the world will they top THIS?!" and each time they do
Ultimate arcadion would be so peak You are the champion and you are fighting to keep your title against your previous opponent only to end with the previous champ who obtained the souls of a mythical beast !
Always felt like the normal mode theme was missing something, and this is it. The strings and choir make this melody explode and hype you up to push for that juicy Savage tier clear
people are saying x game this or y game that, but this is sounds a lot like Eikonoklasm from 16, soken realized he was cooking with that and decided to bring it over to 14
Not the greatest song but at least better than the rest of the tier which wasn't too hard for me. No singing is an automatic bonus. Feels more like 3D sonic final bosses than anything else, and I guess the fight fits into that being the easiest part of the tier just like in those games.
@@sunfeatherX3 It's not supposed to have "power" its supposed to be a desperate final stand kind of theme. You should actually listen to it with the context of the new phase in the fight lol. The bit at 0:51 makes that pretty obvious with it's very solemn tone, sounds like if stuff is falling out of reach for her before going into the choir section. Then at 1:49 also has very "i can do this, i can fight back vibes" in a heroic more upbeat way with the same melody she shares with her sister's theme. Videogame music isn't supposed to just be about high energy powerful tracks to fight bosses too, you can represent narrative through music (FromSoft are very good example of that) and FFXIV music does a great job a lot of the time too.
@@LZ02-OVERTUREYes this remind me of P8s which when i heard the p2 1st time without seeing the boss i felt weird but after seeing him.......the theme is just FCKING BANGER
when the transition starts and the whole group starts to lock in, god what a feeling those opening chords emit.

@@Ez-pu4tl I didn't find EW transition cutscenes good at all, aside from P8S. All the other ones felt like needless filler.
I need to hear someone over comms shout one thing when that chorus comes in:
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"GUNMETAL SOUL!!!"
I want that group. 😺
1:49 I like how the quieter, more somber moment in this theme is the motif she shares with her sister.
Ngl that part sounds really PSO2 vibe (Phantasy Star Online 2)
@@chunghoangvy795 you took the words right out of my mouth! it's like the Luther fight all over again!
congrats on the world first of the ost upload lol
didn't think i'd ever hear an amen break in XIV, but here we are
Sounds like the first song but with the seriousness dialed up fully, like "I'm here to take your soul and if I stop it is because I am dead"
Phase 1 sounds like a hero, or a fallen hero, is on her last day.
Phase 2 sounds like that hero's final stand. Plot armor is gone, but she is going down swinging.

I'm glad we have Xenoblade OSTs now
Imagine a xenoblade crossover
@@palebananamanINDEED!
We knowing Wicked Thunder's name with this one.
You know what's funny? If I hadn't played Xenoblade, I probably never would have gotten into FF14.
Lmao when i first entered the heritage found area after vanguard and heard the ost, i was like, wait a second, thats xenoblade
Oh man I am pumped for someone to upload this with the phase transition and phase 2 cuz it looks sick as hell and syncs with the song itself really well.
Just finished making this, it's on my channel!
Good idea. Lemme just publish it now :)
this tier is peak holy shit
And this was only tier 1 if 3.
Can't wait to see this raid series unfold
me and you both. we know for a fact we are going to fight her again theres no way around it. its just a question of WHEN. and what the music will be then. i know with each raid set we keep going "damn this is so good! how in the world will they top THIS?!" and each time they do
Under night soundin theme (compliment)
darkstalkers. this entire raid is darkstalkers lol
Blazblue ahh song (respectfully)
@@TurntReynolds 2:16 yessir (god i wish they made another game)
so glad we got a track this tier! P4S not getting one was a shame
What's really neat about this tier compared to most previous ones is that each fight this tier has a unique song for each boss.
@@silxer3154if I'm correct for other raids isn't it the first 2 bosses in a tier share a theme and then the 3rd and 4th get their own?
@@dinopower901 for asphodelos 1-3 shared a theme and then 4 had one unique theme, and for abyssos 1 had an instrumental, 2 and 3 had vocals
Asphodelos I think was Hic Svnt Leones right? Cause I remember Abyssos being White Stone Black and Anabaseios was Ultima’s Perfection
@@Greco4915 you are correct
This music will one day be in an Ultimate fight and it will be glorious.
Ultimate arcadion would be so peak
You are the champion and you are fighting to keep your title against your previous opponent only to end with the previous champ who obtained the souls of a mythical beast !

people are saying x game this or y game that, but this is sounds a lot like Eikonoklasm from 16, soken realized he was cooking with that and decided to bring it over to 14
Which is funny because that song already uses the eScape motif from 14
The Origenics theme also gave me 16 vibes
Thank you for posting this with non-phase 2 footage, my static is doing blind prog this tier and I wanted so badly to still listen to this :D
if a Super sonic boss level was in Dawntrail
Honestly i thought the exact same thing, Unleashed/Colors Final Boss vibes
this does sound like an ohtani level banger
The the normal theme already gives me Sonic and the Black Knight vibes, especially Knight of the Wind and With Me
I just cleared and had to find this song to add to a work out playlist. Holy crap this will get my heart rate going! 🔥
in love with the tones of finality in this version, it really embodies that this is her last stand if she never stopped
I am so excited and happy to feel the music of falcom, monolith, the company that makes jrpg, which I like
I see that Soken and the music team loves to do DnB adjacent stuff this expansion
its feels so epic omg
Sounds like a Yakuza boss track now
Xenoblade, Yakuza, Sonic, Sawano, maybe Falcom guitar? these vibes HOLY FUCK IM ASCENDING
If the strings were swapped out for a violin I wager this would just be straight up indistinguishable from a Falcom song.
nice savage music with a nm clip
Feels like this and the whole second half of the expac are our end of the PSO2 collab
This reminds me a lot of the song potential ability from "pso2: the animation" but also a lot of soundtrack from episode 6 just in general.
Original sounded like a RWBY song. This version sounds like it's from a modern Sonic game.
OH YEAH FANTASTIC IDEA CRAM THE TERRIFYING LIGHTNING ROCK DIRECTLY INTO YOUR BODY THAT WON'T ACCELERATE ITS DETERIORATION AT ALL-
Fortunately for us savage is fanfic "what ifs". Nothing canon here.
When Soken is giving us some XVI style into XIV into an inhinged savage phase, oh boy it was good.
Did Square Hire Mitsuda and ACE to compose this expansion lmao
ROCKMAN X: ELECTROPE IS ELEC-DOPE!
イースみを感じる
This is literally the Mario Kart Lap 3 version of Give it All 👍👍
sonic, crisis city vibes anyone?
Husky by the Geek we need a cover!
I need this with the vocals from the original.
This has some Xenoblade vibes in it and it's fitting
terraria calamity mod music
I really wanna know how they got SEGA to sign off on letting them use sonic music for this game lol
...So we not gonna talk about the AoT vibes this gives? No? Ok. XD
Not the greatest song but at least better than the rest of the tier which wasn't too hard for me. No singing is an automatic bonus. Feels more like 3D sonic final bosses than anything else, and I guess the fight fits into that being the easiest part of the tier just like in those games.
It's just "Give it all" but changed.. Not a banger though
Did you hear the lyrics in give it all?
This is the next escalation level in her demise. So it's the same song but waaaay more metal
hmm nah.. this somehow sounds more subdue to the normal mode version
kind of sucks
Yeah I’m ngl I like the power of the other version way more 💀
