btw i love ur work
Have you heard Dragonsong?
Just a bit of clarification of Akademia Anyder's Lore. Anyder was responsible not only for cataloguing every single creation made and approved by the Bureau of the Architect, but was also a location where the Words of Lahabrea were based, and where research was done on the very act of Creation Magicks and their creations. Testing would be done beyond what was done at the Bureau of the Architect. If the creation was deemed to dangerous, the concept would be sent to Elpis for testing and revision. If it was even too dangerous for Elpis, it'd go straight to Pandaemonium. So much recently had been sent straight to Pandaemonium, that Themis said it was odd that Pandaemonium wasn't built under Anyder instead of under Elpis. Below are spoilers for the Dungeon:
Within the Dungeon, you run through three halls, each a base of operation and study for three separate groups lead by a Convocation member. The Words of Mitron, where aquatic life was made and studied, The Words of Halmarut, where plantlife was studied, and the Words of Lahabrea, where beasts were studied. Since the Pandaemonium is ALSO staffed by the Words of Lahabrea, you have an entire fort filled with mythical beasts, like Hippokampus, Phoinix, or Proto-Carbuncle. The entire reason you go into Akademia Anyder is because one of the more violent creations, Archeotitania, broke free and destroyed the place while escaping. That creature is the Super boss fate in the Tempest.
This guy looks like the dude from Creep
the glissando theme you mentioned at 4:05 is very reminiscent of omega's theme from eScape, coupled with the bassline that plays at that section. unsure if intentional!
I love this video. Great job. My hype was immesurable when I noticed those 3 Ascian themes. And I love it's not music for them while they were mortal as Ancients (although living incredibly long) like in Amaurot and Elpis but it's specifically themes of them as Ascians, after their souls got separated through Echo after the Sundernig. And then Anyder theme, to let us know we're dealing with Lahabrea.
Akademia Anyder's theme (Shadows Withal) as well is the Ascian theme itself but done as a jazz groove
Did you think 7, and 8 were harder than six? I am also hyper casual and didn't wipe on those two but we ATE IT, like 8 times on p6.
Without Shadow sounds similar to music that plays in Kingdom Hearts for Organisation XIII.
And with the robes and the teleporting effects and the fact that there's 13 (red masked) Ascians.
Now imagine if Sora had to fight the Ascians instead of Organisation XIII
You should also listen to the music to the previous 3 fights its called scream its soooooo good
I absolutely adore that synthesised or sampled or whatever vox sound in the classic Without Shadow. Sure, it doesn't sound particularly convincing, but the timbre of it sounds so perfectly spooky and fitting for the ascians
Did these raids on patch Tuesday – and I literally can't wait to jam to these for hours and hours with my static in savage. The great music genuinely helps you gloss over the frustration of failing at a video game 100's of times
I must say it’s refreshing to hear someone say that content like this is hard. I also do not do extremes or savage and I find this type of content to be rather challenging, in a fun way. Also, excellent music analysis and reaction. Thanks!
I completely threw this song to the side since I only heard it the once when I cleared P8 for the first time. I was so focused on mechanics I didn't hear any of the motifs. I was actually disappointed since "Scream" from P6 and P7 was the song I was expecting for P8 since it was the song featured in the patch trailer. Now that I can hear the motifs used in "Embers" I can actually appreciate the song, and it makes a lot of sense why it was used for P8 now.
That being said, "Scream" is still my song of choice for this patch. It's just a bop.
One thing that most people miss is that you can actually hear some of eScape's (Omega 11) bass line in this song, too. There's so much in this track for FF music nerds. It's great.
Honestly, I like Abyssos 6/7 more. It just has that old Nightwish/Evanescence vibe from mid 00s.
Soken is a fan if his motifs. And somehow its always a fresh take. Always a fan of the music ffxiv brings.
This was a great patch for bass
I honestly think I would’ve appreciated this so much more if they didn’t have it following “scream”. Holy shit Sokken is wild.
Pandemonium 1-4: Castlevania
Pandemonium 5-8: Resident Evil/ RE Code Veronica
This is a sick video man. I’d love to see your opinion on some RuneScape music, namely The Cursed Warrior and The Glory of Combat. I think you could give some excellent insight into it
Hepheistos resembles the lahabrea we know more than the old and original lahabrea, and the music highlights this. Also, as a slice of lahabreas soul and memory AND curiosity and his most twisted desire as a researcher. Single minded in his pursuit
I love my video game music a lot but I think I am… "musically challenged".
I didn't realize Thunderer was Shadows Withal. Just like barely a few weeks ago I realized Carrots of Happiness (which I've been crazy over since the job trailer before EW released) had the EW theme. I only realized it when I was whistling it while cooking. And a bit later that Radz-At-Hand's jam is Flow, under practically the same circumstances. lol
Anyways, love this dude's energy and analysis, I'm in.
man if you like leitmotifs this much I can't wait for you to finish Undertale
10:51 oh my god….!!.!.!!.&/:$::
Wow I didn't even realize it was the Ascian theme song in the first half! Amazing break down Marco! This patch has been incredible, so many good BGMs.
I've managed to find the Crystal Prelude in near enough all FFXIV songs lol sometimes it's pretty hidden like it's energetic, sometimes it's not exact (as if it's skipping down the road), and sometimes it's just right in the forefront
Need you to listen to attack on titan OST or any of Hiroyuki Sawano's music its really good
Can you please react to the amazing battle theme of the final boss of “Octopath Traveler” called “Daughter of the dark god”. It features really cool opera vocals.
Hello, have you heard of punishing gray raven?
I love there music specially narwhal by vanguard studios. Just a suggestion If your interested 😊
i would love to see his reaction to Te dream of flight from CIVILIZATION 6. How much do I have to pay
would you have a look at "Everybody's Gone to the Rapture" OST by Jessica Curry, she's also the composer for Amnesia, Dear Esther, So Let Us Melt and more
it's and incredible work that not many people will know
Make reaction to "Tsubaki in thawing snow" Kamisato Ayaka genshin impact ^.^
"spoiler if you're not there"
if I don't know a thing about the game yet, nothing is a spoiler.
This song slaps though
also
Day sixty-six of recommending Stay Gold from the Arknights OST
Man I love watching you getting absolutely enthralled by the epic music that Soken and the music team has to offer. He really is one of the modern kings of leitmotifs!
Love the analysis!
Man i would like you to react to some Hollow knight music.. Like Sisters of battle..or Grim truope Theme or maybe the BEST of them SEALED VESSEL… And also one Daughter of hollownest has some opera in it tooo……… pls pls pls React to them
While this song is pretty amazing, I feel they messed up by making Scream such a banger. This one feels like a step back
Just discovered your channel and love your content. Always great seeing music experts explore video game OSTs.
You should really check out some Warhammer 40,000 game OSTs, they are basically unanimously loved by the playerbase/fandom.
For example, Dawn of War II's OST in general is iconic and has really created the blueprint for the music in many WH40K games. For the Craftworld and Pit of Maledictus are my personal favourite tracks.
Then there's Mechanicus, with one of the most original and creative OSTs i know of. Two words: synths and pipe organs! Children of the Omnissiah and Noonsphere are stand out tracks.
Theres plenty more amazing music in the games i mentioned and tons more WH40K games with equally great OSTs. Hope you check them out!
ahahaha you keep the best ost from pandémonium 6/7 the "anime opening" for the 6.2.
But the 8th is really incredible. P1 at 4 is cool but its an deception compare to the 6.2 raid. FF14 team have make a amazing content i love ff14 deeply😭
Wished you did Scream honestly because this one's pretty underwhelming compared to the first tier.
you should really react to bazelgeuses theme from monster hunter world
Hey, I think you still miss WoW soundrack. Something like Invincible or Warbringer Jaina for amounght of singing. Or Call to Arms for some epic. Or Anduin theme for the story.
hey Marcomeatball you should check out jodie's suite from beyond two souls
it's a somber but triumphant song
You should try reacting to Sounds of Liyue by Genshin Impact. It's one of my favorites ❤️
https://youtu.be/pFrKZxStL_U
And also Tales of snow by Genshin Impact ❤️
https://youtu.be/mAHW2ioE1g4
Your videos are great and I love your reactions to them. Your reactions give so much insight into these soundstracks. I got one request for you: can you do a reaction to the Moebius Boss theme from Xenoblade Chronicles 3? It's very good and I know you would like it. Thanks.
I absolutely love how you reminds us which were the original songs, I cannot for the life of me remember where I've listened them for the first time even if I've been doing so for the past seven years. Thank you!
https://youtu.be/Iy4iQvJo24U please react to this theme from Crysis 2 main menu! You'll find in interesting. The violin part is amazing too.
