Their god is literally Death and Taxes...WHY HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH!?!?
Oh, hey, those are the two things no man can escape
He is inevitable
Taxation is theft!
His twin meaning got corrupted over time. This became hinted at with one of the early arr dungeons.
Lol I k8nda love and hate them for it tbh lol we waited this long to actually see the twelve but it was so worth it as well
To see the WOL do a happy emote at the end of this fight made me smile! Its been a long time since Ive seen that. The WOL is back to being a fun adventurer. ^_^
yup endwalker is gloomy and all throughout the story
the story part is great tho...
@@phoenixwulf6010IIRC we lost the cheer at the end of Dungeons long before Endwalker. It definitely wasn't there in ShB, it might have even stopped before that sometime in SB.
And now we have it back, that sense of adventure, that unbridled joy at having overcome a challenge... thanks to, of all people, Emet-Selch and freaking Zenos...
I always loved that detail that your wol at some point in ARR they just stopped doing it cause of the events of the story and further onwards. Its a small detail but it fits so well. It makes for a great joy for when they start doing victory poses again
@shadowcat1606 glad they did it tho tbh, it would've been weird if we went through trying to mitigate the massacre of Holminster Switch then cheered at the end
@@shadowcat1606 i remember having it up until THAT scene in the vault
I think it is truly fascinating to look at this song, the message and meaning of the twin god of scales, and then compare it to Ul'dah proper and be like "wow you completely lost the plot here, little potato men".
how so?
Seriously. If you read up on the lore of the seven heavens and sevens hells of Eorzean belief, the heaven of fire is for those who accumulate wealth and give out employment and charity, those who use their wealth for the betterment of others. Now what do you think the hell of fire is reserved for? (Spoilers: it doesn't take a great deal of imagination)
@@ArrmanK Think billionaires claiming to be christian when the bible says that it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God
I can't wait to see how the other two national gods contrast with their nations, and how they too have lost the plot(though not so completely as the little potato men)
@@cassandrawasright1481 Halone, head in her hands, wondering how her elves became Catholic.
"May we want for naught coin can buy" is such a powerful sentiment
Honestly, when I heard this theme for the first time, I was already singing along. It’s just so freaking catchy and the lyrics really fits Ul’dah perfectly.
Seeing them split into two during that enrage cutscene is literally the definition of epic.
Goosebumps all over
It's even better if it happens during this part: 3:43
@@Yun_denn I like it better at 2:54 honestly, but I see your vision.
For me it gives me anxiety, did we mess up or pass. Usually its that one person that second guessed 😢
A pity that new players can't experience it. As the raid is usually over before that happens. Square seriously need to revisit this raid and lower the maximum ilvl. Same with Hades fight and end singer. The maximum ilvl is too high for those fights so content is skipped.
Alternative B. Force the content to happen.
@@RicardoSantos-oz3ujIt will happen again next expansion when our gear gets level synced
Hearing this theme isolated, i finally realized they used some tiny bells instrument, which pretty much sounds like a handful of coins being tossed around.
Coins Music is so insanely in theme, for Nald'Thal
I never realized until I saw your comment and now I can't unhear it, thank you buddy
Masayoshi Soken is a cracknut for using "unusual instruments" whenever he can. Such as Costa del Sol's theme not actually having maracas, but coins shaken around in a ramen cup.
So if it sounds like coins being thrown around in a bag, chances are, knowing the guy, it actually is coins being thrown around in a bag.
Not only did I start in Ul'Dah, Nald'Thal was my patron. And my first class was a Black Mage.
Make no mistake, this fight was MADE for me.
My very first character also started in Ul'dah but Menphina's her goddess, so both raids mean a lot to her xD
I felt the same with Nophica. Started my journey in Gridania. It was an honor to die from her >
you're too d4rk
I know the feeling, started in Ul'dah, Nald'Thal is my patron, and am a lala, i anciently made myself too lore accurate to not learn all the lyrics to what is obviously trying to be an old prayer song
I was the same except my patron is Azyema the Warden. Still an amazing fight, song, and message
This song is catchy AF. The arrangement captures the Middle Eastern/Indian vibes that seem to comprise the musical theme of Ul'Dah, while the two time signatures illustrate, in a musical sense, Nald'Thal's dual nature as god of commerce and god of death. Right where you hear the descending glissando after "life death will follow" ( at 1:22 and 3:22) is where it switches from 3/4 time to 4/4 time. I could go in depth on this, but Alex Moukala did it already in his video on this song.
I just find it cool we're fighting them and fighting the deities we chose to follow at the start of the game
I like that they chose to give us these fight's without just resorting to a "The Gods are Evil" fight.
Kinda wish they all got their own Trial style fight though, but I know that untenable.
I think it's missing more integration with that choice
Dedicated to Moonlight is wonderful, but this is still my favourite theme of Myths of the Realm thus far. Literally chills. Something about the shifting time signature does it for me.
I agree. I''d just like to add that... If In the Balance was light-years ahead or something, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. So, imo, the fact that we are asking ourselves this question is, by itself, a testment to how good Dedicated to Moonlight also is.
I liked Dedicated to Moonlight but was kinda dissapointed with it. I was expecting Nophica as final boss so that each of the 3 city states would have their own song to match their god.
Didn't really look up any of the Twelve lore beforehand, now I know they went with Menphina because of the ordering of the symbols and all that, but still. I really liked the idea of each city getting a song.
The fight itself was also just not as much fun as Nald'thal's.
Nymeia is my patron deity but I started in Ul'Dah so I was really happy with this fight. Felt great hearing this song after hearing about Nald'Thal for years
"Stoke now nascent flame, brighter burn, dance with souls afire!
May ember catch and red-gold spark, Rise to new heights!"
"Stoke now kindled flame, hotter burn, sing til breath expires!
May those who wonder paths in the dark find firelight!"
I love how they picture the souls of their Ul'dahn believers being fierce and burn bright as flames. It makes me proud to have started in Ul'dah.
That subtle coin clink in the background that accompanies the beat... perfect.
With Rhalgr my deity (as a black mage dunesfolk), dying to him in this dungeon was an honor.
As someone who plays a Monk, i felt the same way. And I asked for his autograph after we beat him. Still never got it though…
Same me with Azeyma. To trade blows with my patron god was a privilege
As a Black mage sun keeper miqote dieing to anzemya was an honor as well.
I'm a highlander monk, and when he knocked me off his palm after I tried to outwit him with arm's length, I had even more respect for his power.
Though I do feel like he got cheated. Why does Byregot get nipples and not Rhalgr?
@@anthonydelfino6171 Asking the real questions here.
This song feels like a festival or a celebration to me.
it does , for it signifies Good vibes of the great wealth and blessing to all those who also share wealth and prosperity
It should, the song is a prayer, and a celebration of faith and community.
That's all of Myths of the Realm, I think. It pretty much feels like a celebration for getting through EW.
Easily top 5 songs from the game. An incredible stroke of genius.
"Well done! You are deserving of reward!"
*turns up the volume*
And that reward was something he knew we would want: an all out battle
at this point the WoL has an unhealthy obsession with fighting God like beings.
And since primals are gone..
The twelve will do
@@zreepergaming1992 The Twelve, the four archfiends...we're literally ready to take our adventure to another world entirely just so we can find stronger things to swing our weapons at.
@@BlubirdJay anything that resembles a deity is going to die by FF14's actual end
@@zreepergaming1992 and this is why zenos saw us as his friend LOL now we jsut like him
Seriously, this track still gives me chills months later. tea's vocals are just so beautiful and vibrant, and the composition really captures the hustle and bustle of Ul'dah perfectly.
My free company friends helped me through this raid a couple of days ago and I was already amazed by the whole thing and then this song started up and I lost it with how amazing it was. Definitely one of my favorites boss fights and songs in the game!
AHHHH I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR THE OTHER THEMES FOR THE FINAL BOSS GODS
KINDA HOPE MENPHINA GETS ONE CUZ OF THE ORDER THEY'RE GOING ON THE WHEEL
BESTIE WAKE UP MENPHINE'S THEME DROPPED
@@alexnibblett9222 I KNOW AND I ADORE IT SO MUCH BESTIE
BESTIE WAKE UP AGAIN THE LYRICS DROPPED AND ITS A KEEPER PRAYER
@@harrylane4 IT'S A KEEPER PRAYER? OH HELL YEAH
THEY FINALLY LET KEEPERS WIN
My patron deity, I never knew I'd be so happy and content with my choice until this.
Between this and Dedicated to Moonlight I cannot wait to hear whatever we get from the last raid. Absolute bangers
I can't wait to see who the final boss of the next raid is gonna be cause we have lymaelan oschon thaliak and the last god.
Well since Aglaia finished with an Ul'dahn song and Euphrosyne finished with a Black Shroud song, I can only imagine the final raid will finish with some kind of epic sea shanty for Limsa.
Thaliak is gonna end up a math fight
@@messiahnyx971 "It is time for a test!"
@@messiahnyx971Geometry was close enough thankfully lol
I love the detail of using the sound of clinking coin as an instrument.
Aglaia has been an absolute favorite raid since it came out. I love playing through it, fights are crazy and fun, music is incredible, it's a gorgeous area to raid, and the gear looks awesome. I'm so excited for the next part of the raid. I remember first getting to this fight and damn it was so much fun.
One thing I love about this song is that when I heard about the new raid, I understood that it will be about The Twelve testing us. And in the end, this song was dedicated to the people of Ul'dah, and as an Uldahn it made me very happy.
I’m so sad that we’re skipping scales now. That sucks. It’s a fun mechanic.
I discovered this mechanics thanks to this video, i'm so sad I haven't been able to experience it
Same! They need to adjust the iLvl sync for this raid, new players should be able to experience the scales phase, and that awesome cutscene where they split into Nald and Thal.
My very first run here was 3 days ago and we did NOT skip scales, and we wiped to it too. Was not fun my very first time not knowing what the hells was going on, but listening to this song made it worth it.
I do all healer runs of this pretty frequently and we get all the mechs
If you kick Nald in the head, you kick Thal in the balls. Two hilarious blasphemies for the price of one! A fine deal from the two-faced god of capitalism!
I know this comment is old, but this made my day xD it truly is 2 for the price of one deal
My hopes for the next alliance raids are thus, let the final bosses be the patron deities of the starting city states and the songs be sort of like this one as songs of worship. Like, that would be so cool!
As much as I'd be down with that, Althyk should be the final boss as he is the first of the Twelve and god of time.
@@GiovanniZaluchi point taken, this is my hopes, not what I think will actually happen. I should have been clearer about that in my original comment. I think the final boss will probably be either Halone or Menphina (probably Halone) because of the elemental chart and such. I’m down with whatever, I just think that what they did for the first one was cool and I want more. But I don’t care much for speculating, what we get is what we get and I will enjoy it all the same :)
Ooo this didn't age well.
@@insertname3977 why? This is literally what happened. Menphina is the patron of the keepers and one of the primary dieties in the Shroud, the entire song is a keeper prayer
I fee like Limsa is gonna get shafted for a Watcher boss fight though
@@harrylane4 The original comment, said the city states, didn't read Rachel's last one. Menphina is not worshipped by Gridania (which is the ruling city state of the Shroud and thus the main culture within that area) Nophica is their goddess. The Elezen's far out number Moon Keepers in the lore, and their racism towards the feline race (along with their adherence to the seerers and appeasing the elementals), makes it that Menphina worship is rather limited to a small handful, and even then it's mostly the tribal Moon Keepers who try to stick to their old way of life.
I had this blasting in my house.
Never before have I as a son of sand felt within myself a more deeper connection to my patron gods than now.
I love when the song transitions @0:53. Feels good to sing it, gives me chill.
Especially when you just finished fighting Azeyma and move towards the final area. I took my time to stay before move just to admire the scene and waiting until this part of the music played
Aglaia still remains my favourite endgame raid. I love every aspect of it. Agdistis is a close second but really all of the EW and ShB dungeons for that matter are fantastic.
Agdistis?
@@phoenixflamegames1 P7, the tree.
@@khaeldranis2564 blessed be the sacred tree
One of the best boss themes in the game I've in heard in all the years I've been playing! When I first heard it in the trailer, I got goosebumps!
Rest in peace to the scales mechanic. People just blasting through it so fast now that an entire mechanic is just ignored now.
That happened to me the last time I ran Aglaia in Alliance roulette; we skipped the Balance mechanic, and I was so upset about it.
@@ReesesBees Hopefully they lock max itm lvl to stop this cause nothing funnier then to see everything perfectly lined up and then 1 person move last second and the entire chat erupt into the 5 stages of grief
@ReesesBees happened to me for the first time yesterday. I blurted out "we skipped scales?!" And my dad asked me what I was talking about.
Man this theme is hella catchy, it's stuck in my head
Nald'thal has the best phase shift animation and no one can change my mind
“Under arid sky, with silk veils we weave a rainbow.”
“Voices lifted high, dreams upon our backs we carry.”
I don’t know if I should be embarrassed, but this song eases my thoughts on Death.
It's a wonderful little reflection of how some real world cultures view death. The way FFXIV takes inspiration from these and embelishes them for a fantasy setting works so well. The more I learn about the world of Etheirys the more I want to explore our Earth and learn about its peoples and cultures too.
The way Hydaelyn sits in the Aetherial Sea with her children to release them into the world and welcome them home made me realize that one way to see Death is a mother welcoming her child home and listening to their adventures and she tucks them to sleep. And I was already pretty accepting of the concept of death but this version of Death isn't someone to be feared at all but someone to jump into their arms at the end of the day. Only for the next day to send her child off again into the world
Going on my playlist. YOINK!
Need a 20 hour version of this immediately
The official lyrics have been released?! Sweet!
Yep, it's been out for awhile now. I'm just late 😅
6.0, 6.1, and 6.2: Try not to die while BOPPING! Watch 6.3 adds more to the BOP.
This was definitely a fun Alliance Raid. Bonus points for me since my main WoL's patron deity is Azeyma. Every time I reached her, I would /pray then fight. Not big on fighting her as her worshipper, but gotta do it for the BOP and the Greek/Roman inspired gear.
I mean, she does make it quite clear she *wants* to fight us. Also, it's a good way for my girl to show her chosen goddess just how far she's gotten with her own mastery of flames ;)
As a returner to this game, this song has easily become one of my favourites. Loved hearing it while weaving past falling meteors. Dragonsong is still the best imo though.
did you notice the shift between major and minor keys while it switches between 8/8 for major and 6/8 for minor?
I...did not. Was 6/8 the first part of the verse and 8/8 is the part with "Under Arid Sky?" It's awesome nonetheless :)
@@hungrychad yes. it is SO good
Minor scale 3/4 (or the analog 6/8) is how arabesques are composed, which is what gives it part of this arab/desert feeling!
This song sounds like something that would be played in a Parade at Disneyland. Absolutely epic.
Finally, a video with the correct lyrics, thank you
As much as I love Menphina's theme, this is my all time favorite song. It's so catchy.
i wonder how their planning on topping this in the next alliance raid.
ALL RISE FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM OF UL'DAH
Hungry, you are indeed a Chad for bringing us this lyric video. (And all the others, as well.)
So these are Thal's balls ive heard so much about
People kept referring to Thal's balls... little did they know that Thal was THE balls.
i literally just realized this song is a waltz until the chorus
Oh man, i sure hope Halone ends up having the banger song from her set.
Hey! Here it is. Love this song!
3:18 I was squinting hard to see who got transformed and thought there was a glitch because I see none.
But no it was just a lalafell....
Almost makes it a shame we won't get the same sort of nation-state medley for Nophica, Llymlaen, Halone, and Thaliak. Here's hoping for Savage, but I doubt it.
It will be really difficult for the other two parts of the raid to surpass this music, but I have high hopes they will not disappoint!
Edit: well "Dedicated to Moonlight" did not disappoint, at all!
Soken is just full of surprises, can't wait!
From what we've heard in the trailer, I'm excited for euphrosyne
@@Sllandre I admittedly was really disappointed with "Dedicated to moonlight" myself, just doesn't hold up to this.
@@insertname3977 Same but tbh as I rehear and read the lyrics its growing on me alot faster than I expected
@@saysay8920 That's exactly how I felt, I went into it not wanting to compare it to In The Balance, but inevitably my brain went "In the Balance was better", but I catch myself listening to Dedicated to Moonlight more and more and I'm starting to love it more than I did at the start.
*[Sees larger version of myself]*
*Me:* Is that me? IS THAT ME STRONGER THAN ME??? *I'LL F#&KING KILL ME!!!!*
You know, for a test of humanity, it sure is a bop XD
Lalafell rejoice, our gods got the banger ost.
Due to the personality I envisioned for my character when I made him, his deity is Menphina. But between hers and Nald'Thal's have to say, Nald takes the cake. I was singing with it the moment it started and died because I lost track because it was just too fun. xD
I am SO excited to see what Euphrosyne has for us. In the Balance leaves tough shoes to fill.
This is Ul'dah's national anthem. Respect it. *bows*
I'll respect it when Uldah does
The prayers of the Ul'dah Dunesfolk. Powerful.
More ace music from ff14. The A-list just keeps on growing.
AR music for FF14 definitely peaked with this one ❤️
Here's to Dawntrail's FF11 AR music topping this
FINALLY! YAAY!
thank you for this, now i know how the ending of this song goes ^^
The god of death and taxes.
It's shocking how much Nald Thal are antithetical to each other
The balance represent at the same time inconceivable inequality and unrelenting equality.
One of the best designed boss fights IMHO, not difficult once you learn the mechanics but you can appreciate it for the cinematics alone. I've always liked the scales part and wished we get to that part often~
Not the point, but Nald'thal's big cinematic attack after the add phase is so fucking cool.
I hope that the FF XIV team graces us with hymnal themes for the rest of the Twelve
Lots to like about this song and also the video. But to bring up one I don't see mentioned already. At roughly 3:42 come the lyrics "May we all as true equals die". It's also where the stack up to soak mechanic happens.
This song makes me want to go to church in Ul'dah.
If did go to church and wasn't a thaumaturge, I wouldn't know better than to try.
All of the other cities were so unspeakably shafted by this lmao
man, how far Thal's Balls has come!
I can't unhear Lucy's version now bruh
that realy is the first time i've ever seen such a big lalafell xD
If Libra was a deity...
NALD'THAL
It also makes sense that when you're picking your character's deity, Nald'thal is the 10th one.
Scales mechanic my beloved
I don't subscribe to any major religion, but I am ready for the church of Nald'Thal.
Help I cant stop dancing. No seriously help my legs are tired
I personally like this more than Menphinas Theme.
Thal's balls!
I killed this guy before he could even get to the scales phase a couple weeks ago it was insane dps
Thal's balls Ul'dah sucks so much. I love it, it truly feels like home.
Strongly considered using a fantasia to change from the Navigator/Limsa to Uldah/These two after hearing this song.
as a genshin player that later on joined ff14, this theme made me remember apep's boss theme XD I wonder if ff14 inspired genshin's music direction somehow.
i'm not gonna lie when i first heard this, i thought it was the 6.1 dungeon theme since it prayed for fortune lol
I love the soundtracks, but the vid itself is also top tier. Did you really do these fights without a hud?
Hoping for White Stone Black from P8S’ final phase with lyrics soon.
best
Ok i have to ask. How did you get hold of the track with a clean ending?
Is there a folder in the files that contains all these in mp3 or something?
I'm assuming all these raid/dungeon tracks end in such a way and are looped by simply replaying a little early over the top of the last few second...
this song ohh Lucy Pyre
Here it is, folks. THE GOD OF CAPITALISM.
The problem I have with FF14's music is when it gets really good I get so distracted by it that I start to mess up the fight mechanics.
Thal's balls
we found the reason for Thalls balls
