  1. "Hic Svnt Leones" (I believe it's supposed to be pronounced "hick soont lee-on-ehs") translates to "here be lions," which of course appears in the lyrics.

    On a non-Final Fantasy note, you should check out some more Yakuza/Like a Dragon music. This generally falls into two categories: the diegetic soundtrack (stuff like "Receive You" from the original Yakuza, "A Scattered Moment" from Yakuza 2, or "Destiny" from Yakuza 6) and the karaoke songs (including "Baka Mitai," "Like a Butterfly," "Machine Gun Kiss," and "Spring Breeze"), which the characters sing along with at karaoke bars.

  2. "Hick Soont Lee-on-ehs" is correct (I took Latin in high school lol). The reason it's a "v" instead of a "u" is in Latin, the "v" is a "w" sound at the beginning of word and a "u" in the middle of a word. Latin has no "v" sound as it exists in English and for some reason I don't know, the "v" sound in English uses "v" and then we got "u" and "w" from some where.

  3. It's an absolute banger live, this one. The song is performed by The Primals with Masayoshi Soken (lead composer) singing lead with the lyrics writer Koji Fox (world and lore developer as well as senior translator) being support. I remember people were a bit divided on whether they liked this song or not but it grows on you very quickly

  6. You're heard the Scream, you've heard the Hic Svnt Leones… I think the main ones you're missing is 'White Stone Black' and the final culmination track of 'Athena, the Tireless One'. Perhaps 'One Amongst The Weary' before the Athena track because they're paired together sort of and one carries into the other; Athena's theme is sort of the conclusion of all the Pandaemonium tracks. Thanks for listening and your close attention to detail!
