  1. Really enjoying watching your takes on the music of FF14. You give off serious James Murphy vibes, very similar to watching him listen to riffs and improvising solo's over the top of them which is cool.

    I am sure it has been recommended, but can't wait to watch you check out "Wrath of the Harrier" from FF14.

  2. FFXIV has a song for everyone in almost every genre.

    In fact Soken and the music team love mixing genres together to create songs you find yourself humming ALL THE TIME.

  3. Love you breaking these down. I’d suggest the song “Who Brings Shadow” or “To The Edge.” The second video has major spoilers tho if you wanna be surprised when you get there yourself. But both are rock songs with vocals.

  4. Just binge watched a lot of your videos, you're awesome.
    Its super cool to see you play back everything perfectly after you hear them.
    Hope you do more videos with FFXIV songs!

  5. That was the phase 1 track for Ruby Weapon. It also plays for the first phase for Emerald Weapon. Phase 2 for Ruby Weapon is a completely different style, orchestral vs rock

    Still fun hearing you rock to it regardless

  6. Just so you know, this theme is actually the composer’s in-house band’s cover of a track from XIV called Ultima, which plays during one of the final battles from A Realm Reborn

  7. This isn't meant as an insult, but I wish you would be more during the breaking down of the songs. I think what you're doing already is great, it's just sometimes I wonder some things about the song that you don't get as heavy into detail. Could be a personal preference though

  8. Welp, prep yourself for the influx of ff14 players and requests, myself included! Your hands on blind break down is very unique and engaging, and your impromptu riffs are awesome. As a classical piano player it always amazes me how people comes up on the spot with improvises, and it is impressively interesting to hear it done on familiar ff14 tracks. It may interest you to check out a fellow guitarist "Husky by the Geek" who do awesome rock guitar covers of video game music (primarily with a focus on ff14). But for a none FF14 recommendation, check out "The Skies Above" by The Black Mages. Also check out FF14 "eScape" primals version, it is the original leitmotif for part of the "Long Fall".

  9. If you accept suggestions outside of FFXIV, can I point you towards The King of Fighters 97, and the music Rhythmic Hallucination? It's relatively short (3 minutes for a loop), but many people outside of the fighting game community know it. The versions from KoF97 or KoF98 are the best ones, with later versions becoming more complex remixes that, IMO, lose some of the charm of the original.

  10. I remember showing my friend this song and he didn't get it at all :(. Your improve over the song sounds so good I absolutely love it. Another guitar song I love is "Under the Weight" (check out the lyric version). I saw it live performed by the developers of the Final Fantasy 14 and it was amazing. The composer on vocals and guitar and rap verse by lead english translator! Never skipped listening to boss music after that 🙂
