Spoilers for MSQ ahead. Dungeon music and rundown for the 5.5 main story. I think this one is my patch favourite, which it’s not usually dungeon music. Also love how the final area looks, we need more steppes in the game 😀

I'm fairly sure at this point Soken just loves taking the themes from previous, older parts of the games just as an excuse to make a mix with all the instruments involved in them.
BAGPIPES
When you're out partying with the boys and your pissed off ex-wife shows up
Heard this theme for 16hrs total now whilst farming for the fending legs which refused to drop! Still love it though!
If any of you got Yunalesca Antiqua from Coeurl I’m so sorry I know how to heal I swear I was just hyped 😭
This dungeon is my #1 of Shadowbringers with 2nd place being tied with all the Tempest ones but they were all pretty good for the most part imo
OK THE BAGPIPES ARE COOL BUT YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS COOL??? at 1:49 you hear rattling notes. that's angklung, a traditional Indonesian instrument. for once a foreign composer incorporates something that isnt gamelan. what a rare treat, what a fun dungeon.
I like to imagine that Soken is kinda like a real life incarnation of the Shaggy being all powerful meme with him cranking up the badass level with each new ost by maybe 3% max before ramping it into maximum overdrive for the final 6.0 track so we can all just here stunned like shocked Patrick.
This patch didn't have a lot of great music. This one stands out
Talk about motion sickness from the jerky camera movement.
I always liked the Amal'jaa's theme back in ARR, but I had no idea it would be remixed into a ShB dungeon several years later. I'm so amazed. <3
Are you ready to FUCKIN DUNGEON?!?!
I do like how they use the time of day / atmospheric lighting in some of the outside dungeons. I think that's what really made this one work for me. Especially over the golden grasses.
"HI ESTINIEN- BYE ESTINIEN" the dungeon.
Remember Holminster Switch? Remember how when you went in and everything just felt as though there was a sense of urgency? This right here, brought that feeling back for me; That's not to say that there hasn't been themes to this scale, but Paglth'an, Too Fire and Sword, Too the Edge and Mortal Instants were some of my favorites that I just kind of listen to while driving. I also recall being in a mood one day and blasting Ramuh's Eden theme while going through the neighborhood. Some guy made eye contact and we just start head banging! 😀 Fun times.
So much FF4 and FFX I don’t think I can handle it.
Ahem…
Returning to Heavensward expansion to release an Elder Dragon imprisioned by allagan technology for eons to come and fuck up her husband's bullshit in Paglth'an is pretty badass ngl.
Part of this theme reminds me of Command and Conquer's Hell March.
I still can't believe there are angklung/bamboo wind pipe sounds in the soundtrack
1:40 got my blood fucking PUMPING
This should not slap this hard but it does
Good thing all these level 80 beast tribes never eyed Ul'dah.
that whole intro sequence was such a way to set the tone of whats to come
Yet again we get another banger of a dungeon song.
I wonder if we'll get a new dungeon for each of the original beast tribes.
Honorable tribute to the original Uematsu!
For those who want to know, the theme is called Seven Flames.
Ooh, what's that sword and shield you have? it looks rad
Hard to play. Can't see the screen when you are headbanging.
what a fire remix
The Ghimlyt Steppe
They done did it again, what an excellent OST and dungeon.
I think my favorite part of this theme is the opening guitar and piano solo after the opening. Something about those drums and that bass!
Sounds like a Bowser battle theme
This remix is Ghim(lyt).
This shit slaps.
Uhh…The song here is very similar to Deftones – Swerve City
This music sounds like someone should be saying "come on down to Expert roulette to watch Tiamat unleash hell this SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!"
this was so effing badass. one of my favs
i love this one, i just wish it had gone as hard as it did in the intro all the way through. like, i like all of it, but in the trailer i was promised C H O N K
seeing an amazing dungeon using an old area with an old beast tribe makes me think yoship's team grew a lot since ARR. If ARR ever gets remade it would be way better than what it is now.
so, you see…. I had recently reentered zanr'ak for the first time in ages and registered the music and froze in place like "wait, where have I heard this before?!"
all this time doing paglth'an and I didn't even recognize what it was from…….
but like… I guess it makes sense considering 1. it really has been a super long time since I've been in zanr'ak, 2. I didn't have to go there too often, and 3. I had mount music enabled back then (but not these days) and I was always either mounted with the cute chocobo music or in combat when I was in that area :b
I was so shook when I made the connection though lmao
Soken: Fools yall thought I was done?
