Hell yeah! I'm glad you enjoyed all three of my picks! This was the last song because it mixes in the two previous ones in lyrics and music, but then also turns it into something entirely different. Soken is a musical god; he also plays the otamatone live at the FanFests (conventions for FFXIV). This year he did the most memed song, Civilization, and it's hilarious.
Honestly, I can't think of any song I don't like, however, Pa-paya gets annoying after you hear it loop nonstop during an event.
Please do more Guitar flexing, makes the video so much more entertaining, love it
As much as I actually prefer the original metal over this one, Brute Justice Mode Metal is definitely still a favourite of mine. If for nothing else than being a great song to wipe to during TEA. All the many, many wipes to Nisi are somewhat healed by this absolute bop of a track. The line with "Uplander Doom!" really sings out to me.
My least favourite songs from FFXIV tend to be the 'generic' songs from ARR. Not really because they're bad but because they get played a lot. I can't really think of any that are genuinely bad songs.

SQUARE ENIX game music so fantastic!! also falcom game music so awesome!!
my recommend music is "unfathomed force" !!
Do yourself a favor and watch FINAL FANTASY XIV Journeys – Metal – Brute Justice Mode Music Video THE PRIMALS on youtube.
It shows The Primals playing this live at fanfest, Soken on the Trumpet btw
The only song that pops into my head when I need to think of a song that I think is bad is Good King Moggle Mog XII's theme. For me the fact that it sounds very very very much alike the song from Nightmare before christmas: This is Halloween just makes me feel like it doesn't belong in the game and the chaos the song has in it, I can't jam.
I'm sure there's some other songs too but since there's so many songs that are good I don't really remember the bad ones
At this rate, see you in two years or so when you'll have listen to every song worth listening from FFXIV OST, which might be like 80% of it.
If i would choose 1 song, i would also say Rencouter, as said multiple times.
I really dislike the start of the music, and that's what you mostly hear when doing those little fights in the open world of the last expansion.
If i had to make a request, i would make you listen to "End of the Unknown". I first heard it in FFXIV before learning it was Nier automata song. (in a crossover raid). I had such a blast listening to it !
There is one song from FFXIV that I don't like, which is "From Mud" (Saint Mocianne's Arboretum Hard Theme) because it sounds really unnerving to me. Listening to it standalone is alright, since I understand that unnerving is probably the intended effect, but being made to listen to it for 15 mins through the dungeon made me dislike it. I usually play another song in the background if I get that dungeon.
Highly recommend Moebius and Rise as the themes for Alexander itself.
And if you want something “weird” there’s also Expoential Entropy from the same raid. Though that song honestly takes a few listens to sink in.
100% Yay for the vote. We as a community don't get many remixes of the songs from this game and honestly, more are appreciated.
Great video, I love this song. I can't really think of a song I don't like specifically, but in a lot of music from the Stormblood expansion, they use the same specific melody from the main theme as a leitmotif in a LOT of songs. Main theme leitmotifs are a big thing in FFXIV's music, but in the specific case of Stormblood music I think it doesn't vary up what it uses from the main theme as a leitmotif. It's always the same melody used in the same way, which just got really grating to me playing through it. This doesn't annoy THAT much and I don't think any of the songs that use it are necessarily bad, but when I occasionally run Stormblood dungeons, I always kind of roll my eyes when the leitmotif pops up in the boss theme.
Lore: Bro goblins have a Megazord oh no
After this you should definitely listen to Rise from ffxiv it’s from this series of raids that locus and metal are from and it’s really fun and out there
How do we fight while the bgm is impressive? Actually another amazing thing about FFXIV's music is that they will also try to line-up the bgm with the boss skill timeline if there are multiple phases.
Great reactions, the Locus->Metal->Brute Justice songs are all great and combine like the bosses themselves.
As for a song I dislike, I'd say "Drowning in the Horizon", the Azim Steppe day theme. It's beautiful, but it always leaves me with the feeling that something is missing, that it's building up to something that it doesn't resolve.
nier replicant and automata ost's please !
Watching all of these was great and getting to see you play at the end brought a big smile to my face! Thank you! I hope you get a chance to listen to the other Alexander raid songs (or someone requests them hopefully) especially RISE. I also thought your remix was excellent, it's got the soul of the original in it and I love it. All I can ask is even if you don't do a full reaction, I hope you go watch the Primals version of it, there's an official video and it's got footage of them performing it live in concert.
As to answer you final question, I… can't honestly think of a bad song. I love all the tracks in this game, I love listening to them on loop while listening to them sync up beautifully with every fight they are designed for. However I do have to confess once (only once!!) I did mute the game soundtrack during raid progression and that's "Landslide", a very heavy remix of the Titan theme "Under the Weight", because the fast dubstep combined with the difficult fight got to me over time. I still like it, just maybe not for uh… 5-6 hours of raid straight.
I mean it's not really a bad song but I heavily dislike with a burning passion Eden's Furor theme, but that might be just trauma from that fight speaking
"Trumpets and electric guitar?" I mean Chicago was a thing…
I vote Yay on remix
If you like ffXIV You should listen to FF10 otherworld it's so badass
Yea there's two more songs on the series. "Exponential Entropy". Takes the first song you heard and terms it into a slow smooth jazz-like song. "Rise" is the last song and plays at the end when you are fighting Alexander itself.
Yeah as people have mentioned, he is mixing in the sounds of like Henshin! style shows with giant combining robots. For a western idea, pretty much think Power rangers.
I don't like Titania theme. I don't think it's a bad song because it seems to fit the boss but it not a song that I would listen to outside of the game/boss fight.
The original Metal is one of my favorites from the game. Also, during your guitar play on verse riff bit, I couldn't help but hear a bit of the first level of Castlevania: Dracula X. Coincidence I'm sure. And if I had to choose a music I hate in Final Fantasy XIV… it would be "Pa-Paya". While it plays only during a special game event and it is made around that event, it's highly repetitive and can get annoying over time.
I actually have a unique recommendation now. How would you like to listen to some classic game music? This one is my absolute favorite. It's from the Amiga 500 era in the 90's and I believe it still both stands out AND holds out by today's standards. There are two versions of this music. The game and the orchestral version, but I'm actually going to recommend the game version here. The music in question is:
"The Final Fight" by Chris Huelsbeck from Turrican 2 https://youtu.be/Fvha_2hAzq0
Lol, watching you get into it just thinking to myself, ya this shit sucks everyone in. The music in Alexander as a whole was pretty trippy.
This is one of the coolest (if not the coolest) boss phase transitions in the game. The boss makes power ranger-esque fusion with its parts and this song drops after and you get back to fighting. Just listening to the song doesn’t give it justice, you have to experience it in the game 😀
I don’t think there is a lot of ”bad” songs in ffxiv but there are a lot of meh songs because they play them over and over again in the game (like some villain themes and whatever themes for certain emotions they use which gets boring after a while)
how we fight these? First 20 pulls are a unwritten jam rule, where failing is recommended.
"How do you not die rocking out to the music?"
It's not these kinds of songs that get people killed, its the tearjerker ones 😭
Although it says something that unlike other MMO's, the reason why I turn down or even mute the music in the harder fights isn't that I'm getting bored of the same track over and over, but because I need to focus on the audio cues and callouts in voice chat.
I am either blind or it is probably on your patreon list, but ultima the primals version. I suggest finding one with the official/unofficial lyrics, at least so you know the actual lyrics, because people mishear "big fat tacos so big" when its "beat the heart of sabiik". Its funny hearing the misheard lyrics, and it is easy to mishear them, but the song is more epic when you know the real lyrics xD
Since you're enjoying FFXIV so much, I'd love to see you react to music from Final Fantasy XI 😀 though I haven't played it myself unfortunately, I can heavily recommend "The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah", an amazing track that lets you get into the groove of the game without knowing a single thing about it.
Come on at this point you need to finish the alexander music raid.
I was loot farming this raid one time and after everyone left just me and another guy for loot, after a couple of minutes I asked for roll (everyone has to roll before it's given out), he very panickedly said he was too busy jamming out and didn't notice I was waiting. I still think about that – some guy having a dance party after a raid. It fills me with joy.
Someone needs to pay this guy to listen to “A Long Fall”.
I’m honestly having trouble thinking of actively bad music in XIV. There’s some music that’s forgettable, and some of it doesn’t hold up to the amount of repetition (I’m thinking of the chocobo racing music), and occasionally in multi-phase fights the first phase’s music is kind of meh but it transitions into something that redeems it. But I can’t think of any that’s outright bad*. Soken must have a good rapport with someone who knows they can say “no” to him, because it’s hard to believe that he never *writes bad music.
Exponential entropy is a good follow up to this. Same genre but not tied to this song directly like the other suggestions.
At least for me, good music in games helps to focus into the game even better! Some people get into the zone when boss has good music.
I'd throw in another. Exponential Entropy. It's within the same raid series, but is a bit of a farcry from the others. It's a banger nonetheless though.
