Soken loves leitmotifs. You'll run into them throughout an expansion, or raid series. But he works them into the themes in such a way that you never tire of them. Or at least, I don't.
I love how you hit 80 in FFXIV and then the game pretty much just drops a killer album back to back between this and all the patch dungeons/raids/trials. Some of the best music in the game.
My friend showed me the trailer for Shadowbringers in 2020 and I lost my mind! I’ve never played any mmo games before and I wasn’t a big fan of japanese games but now FF14 is my favorite game, I learned some of the songs on guitar.
The music is so good that I even bought a piano to play these songs
This song sound like Iron Maiden style especially that repetitive riff at the intro.
And that's Soken himself doing the whispered parts.
When that song hits, during that cutscene in the video…
I'm 41 years old. I've played MANY games.
I don't think I've ever had a more hype moment in any game, ever.
Falar com o Sr. António é como viajar 4.fo/ABRACAA no tempo, é sonhar acordado, é uma lição de vida…um poço de resiliência e um sorriso genuínoc que nos abraça sem nos conhecer.
The singer is also Raubahn's voice actor and the lead singer of godHEAD.
This track always hits so hard. Especially if you've played through the story. The attachment of scenes to music just sticks with you.
This.
This song and the SHB trailer is why i've started playing XIV back in 2020.
What a friggin' banger.
Hard to believe that you hadn't already done this track!
Wait with all the FFXIV songs he's done, he's only now just doing this?!?!
Wait you already did this one lol
This song jammed in the trailer before the expansion was released. Motifs were sprinkled throughout the entire expansion, always giving you little reminders that it was there. And then, at the end of it all, when that dude holds out his axe to you and the song starts playing, the built up tension of the entire story gets released all at once and you know that it's the moment everything was leading to. The hype is POWERFUL in that moment and during the final fight. It was an incredible experience, and this banger of a song was the capstone.
This song hits so hard at the perfect moment in the story. Goosebumps every time
It’s hard to overstate how incredible this track is. As a previous commenter said, there are tons of leitmotifs sprinkled throughout Shadowbringers tunes and tracks, and the story leading up to this moment is an emotional rollercoaster. The antagonist is one of the best antagonists in anything ever, and the utter despair you feel as a player and a character in the story is overwhelming.
Then, a friend extends his axe down to you and the tune starts playing. “Take it. *We fight as one*” and the scene STILL ISNT EVEN DONE MESSING WITH YOU. It keeps building up! The antagonist belittles you again, only to have the character you were attempting to rescue rejoin the fray and summon your companions to face the antagonist in the ultimate showdown.
People think Endwalker is great, but in my mind there is very little that can ever compare to this moment in the game. It set the bar so high
The early leitmotif might have been familiar to you due to Insatiable, the dungeon theme for Shadowbringers that you covered about 9 months back. That track includes a very similar section to the section with "proud angels bathe in their wages of blood" in the lyrics of this song.
then it comes to story I amazing Like Arr, Heavenward was okay for me, Storm blood was my least favorite story, and Shb is my favorite story! Endwalker is also really good waiting for more of the after story to see how ew feels in the end.
Not exactly the main theme, this is the version that plays during the first phase of the final boss fight.The main theme is called Shadowbringers and includes a couple extra sections that incorporate other songs into it, while this version is only the parts that are exclusively new.
Shadowbringers was really the first time where FFXIV felt like less of an MMO and more of an actual mainline Final Fantasy game.
We fall,
UNTO THE EEEEEND
Yup, you're very accurate when you say that people lost their sh*t when it first came out. I can tell since I'm one of'em after all.
Sadly won't go back to playing the game until I find an actual reason to do so, but the soundtracks are pretty much never disappointing.
Another FFXIV cover? Yes please?
I pretty much started playing FFXIV due to this song and the main scene it plays in, though not because I heard it.
My brother was playing FFXIV and when he hit this moment he urged me to play the game without spoiling anything, telling me I had to experience this moment. I was not disappointed.
