Oh yeah probably will be an ultimate in Dawntrail! I hope the economy is better by then, cuz people who I'd actually want to raid with are always working too hard to raid now. Statics never stay together
How? This is the most generic aspects in FFXIV there is a choir hitting in every musical piece to this game lol. One example off the top of my head that did this right was the battle with Shinryu. I favor more of a musical swell and Shinryu's theme hit all the right marks. The choir just hitting in the very beginning wasn't that crazy but the part at 1:28 is the best part.
@@rogerarteaga2665 you just don't get musical phrases then. The somber start with the piano has such a finallity to it that when the choir and strings hits it says everything we're feeling and more moving forward, the moment stays with you until it repeats and the short term nostalgia re-invigorates the sentiment every time it passes.
@@Spritus3241 I understand musical phrases. This adds no nostalgia as the theme really doesn't tie to others that much. You're all being hyped by choir when as it starts it isn't that impressive compared to the other pieces of music in this game.
This music gives me a sensation of impending doom, a fight for your life, if you die you lose everything, everyone dies, but it also sounds heroic and makes you want to keep going, fight no matter what, well its Soken so great music again.
This expansion's music has a lot of rock and techno, so this kind of music is a throwback to feel-good, very high fantasy adventure music. To me the music sounds like what one must feel when they are fighting for the right reasons. No inner conflict or doubt. A pure contest of arms and might for the sake of people you love.
1:51 "Memories of ice..." [runs around] I love this response, it's like a hard coded response for endgame players for new attacks: run for Blizzard, put the weapon away for fire.
This Theme is insanely good, I can't wait to prog this is Savage, ff14 just killing the ost everytime, just when you think how can they better it, they do.
What an awesome journey ShB was. I truly loved the raid themes, especially this one. Hits hard on the feels since I left the game due to parenthood nowdays. Safe journeys heroes of light
i started to go numb a bit to this song after wiping to lions in savage but remembering that piano opening before that choir bursts out into song reminds me of how emotional and triumphant this music is
Right? My party wiped five times on patch day and it was from a cross of still learning the mechanics and half of us (me included) crying over the music
One thing that's pretty cool about this piece is that after the first loop it plays the same piece just slightly different. You can really tell when you compare the two climaxes of the piece. Excellent job Soken!
Its actually something you learn/pickup (?) in music; no 2 themes/leitmotifs/phrases should be played exactly the same way, even if its written exactly the same. Musicians would make very slight variations. You can see this is most pop songs, where the 2 verse (after the 1st chorus) is very slightly different from the main/1st verse.
@@vivianzeng4147 It's more like what kind of relationship do you mean by word girlfriend, boyfriend? Yes, kids can have love friend relationship, or love towards close people and ..... But! Girlfriend and Boyfriend words in English (And Not just English) are used to describe, not just love but between two people on mental level, but also physical affection with desire to reproduction, close person for all your life. The problem is what word girlfriend and boyfriend meaning was changed from 1863 - when it was first used as describing specific gender friends. From start of 20 century, in books it was used to describe person who is your only heart person with who you share affection. :/ And this meaning stays till day. I just wanted to say what word is not rely correctly used in this case. And because of this it sounds very disturbing specifically if you are not living in 19 century XD
This fight was honestly an amazing finale with the ad phase/intermission Phase actually being a bit quite heart breaking but god dam I loved the music so much gave some serious Kingdom hearts vibes
I love this theme I don't know if this is just me, but i really hear in the theme that the heaven he wants to build is very much a bastardized version of a heaven. Using light and shadow not to be alive, but to encapsulate a dream. This is so artificial that to attack us, he has to resort to use the primordial we recreated. The music really make me feel that even if this is an epic fight against a powerful enemy, it is against not only a delusion, but a very pathetic one . . .
I like this fight pretty well thematically. I was kind of hoping more of a reference showcase like with Omega or Alexander Prime but in a way this was a pretty refreshing change of pace.
I do like those big reference climaxes but, the more I think about this and how incredible and jaw-dropping it is thematically, aesthetically, emotionally; the more I'm glad they've embraced freedom for more original designs and themes.
Nothing is more intimidating than a white mage that has her casting bar hidden but still can still slidecast perfectly. Even if it's on the party list that shit's powerful lmao
Actually Gaia was the Titaness of Earth... She was banished alongside all titans like with Chronos. She wasn't a destructive force but rather a too natural one. She thought all manking creation was tarnishing her earth which is why he was against humans as well... But after Zeus Poseidon and Hades defeated the titans she went to the *underwolrd* just to observe what the world became ...
now that I revisited this theme after playing ffvii rebirth's "no promise to keep".......GOD DAMN Square enix story tellers are writing fourth dimensionally.....
This is great, because you don't loop the song. I find that many of the uploaders for these tracks make their videos 10 minutes long (probably for ads?) but after 5/6 minutes it just starts looping and stops being fun to listen to. Great work!
“Joined as one. Never to be parted. Unbound by past or future in this single perfect moment.” “We shall draw your memories from you. And they shall be your undoing. Now, your memories belong to us.” “Our utopia can only be complete, once you are erased from our memories. Such fragile things, memories. They shatter. They fade.” “We will bring true harmony. Tranquility and vitality in perfect balance.” “Why will you not disappear? No! Our utopia cannot fall!”
So... something fun... Look at the Orchestrion Scroll you can obtain from E12 SAVAGE. “The Extreme”!!!! It’s a remix of the FF8 Ultimecia Boss theme!!! So uh... we getting a crazy Ultimecia type boss in Savage Phase 2!?!?
Darth Xelion yea pretty much this, they did it for most of the songs with chants. Knights of the round, invincible, shinryu, from the heavens, ultima. I’m interested to see what the lyrics will be for this one.
both in a way. Most of the tracks in xiv are rearrangement or mixed from existing melody(Tho that doesn’t mean they take any less effort to make, probably even more)
It’s an original, but I could swear I’ve heard a lot of the motifs from elsewhere. The opening strings/choir sound really similar with A Land Long Dead (The Burn).
I literally cried while completing dungeon 😢😢 I was dark knight, crying at how beautiful their relationship and love between two girls was while I was being shoved away by enemy's attack.

is so fkin good
the chord with the trumpets at that part just gives me goosebumps everytime
My favorite part of this score. ❤️
Nailed it tbh
Couldn't agree more! My favorite part of the track!!
Is this the power of no lag?
So smooth, dodges everything cleanly, recasts followup nicely.

I checked that out on the orchestrion source list, thanks for confirming!
@@Dworim np thanks for posting it with the piano finally
The orchestrion doesn't have the piano part in it and I'm upset :

Here
FULL POWER EDEN SOON !!!
No idea how many people can agree with me but god I love the part at 2:35
Like if you're a Theatrhythm player who has never played XIV and assumed this was the final boss theme (for Shadowbringers at least)
