  1. Actually a Nier Automata track! The Nier crossover raids in FFXIV only use original arrangements for the final boss of each raid. All the other music (like this one) is recycled from Nier Automata without changes.

  2. Nier crossover stuff was literally one of few reasons I gave FFXIV a shot. Especially when I heard Weight of the World with FFXIV spin on it.
    Both Nier and FF series have some of the best soundtracks in videogames. There's only few other recent games that had such good OSTs, and we had a ton of good OSTs in games in last 5 years or so.

  3. The first time I played the raid this song was in, I died so many times because I just became entranced (no puns intended) by the melody, the bass, and the tribal chanting. I knew it was from NieR Automata but I had no idea they had songs they went this hard. Like, how very dare you.

  4. When they said “Puppet’s Bunker” I was somewhat confused, but this makes sense. It’s “End of the Unknown” from the game NieR Automata, one of the many guest tracks in that raid.

    The NieR Automata soundtrack is critically acclaimed, even winning awards for Best Score when it released. I think you listened to another song but there’s so much amazing diversity and strength in it I’d love to hear you react to more in the future.

  5. Nier Automata has a very interesting and (in my opinion) pretty incredible soundtrack. I may be a basic bitch, but I'm always a fan of City Ruins. Weight of the World is also way too good not to mention.

  6. The lyrics are in a language called chaos language. They don't have meaning, just mean to sound pleasant to listen to. Which is ironic, considering voice conveys emotion and by extension meaning, one could make the argument this language does actually make sense.

  7. 4:31 so, funny you should mention that.
    Fun thing, a lot of people got a Tekken vibe from this track, made even stronger by the fact that the boss in Automata where this plays for the first time almost looks like a fighting game with how the camera's set up. This is likely on purpose given that the composer is Keiichi Okabe, who has composed many pieces for Tekken games.

  8. YES, I suggested this one too! o/ Now, did you check out Juno Reactor and did you hear similarities? 😀 Definitely feel that base, ha. And that sound just before you said OH and the vocalisations start, it's so good, like whoosh but metallic? Honestly one of my favorite things with the Nier raids is the non-typical boss music, electronic music like just gets me so hype. And yeah it's calm but still so DRIVING!

    I will put a Juno Reactor link, from when they opened at Ozora Festival in Hungary 2015, the spectacle alone 😀 He's made music for the Matrix movies as well!

    It is great music to fight too. When this fight is chaotic the music fells more chaotic and there were moments of movement/"Downtime" in the fight where the music was more calm. The music going between the fights is still my favorite music of this raid, but this is so close to first they might as well be tied.

  10. As a non-FFXIV player i actually enjoyed this more than Primals, the latter was rather monotone, sure the guitar / bass sounded amasing but they kind of hogged the entire show making it somewhat repetitive, this is much more my jam with the jumps in tempo and the sci-fiy background

  11. some songs that people rarely hear (because you need to PVP to even listen to them) in FF14 are the PVP songs which have some bangers in there that being Starved(Feast's theme) + Dangertek (culling time's theme), The Gauntlet(Duelling's Theme), Blood for blood(Front lines Theme), Onsal Hakair's combat theme and Rival Wings + Bird of prey.

  12. Fun thing – I love this song but don't remember about it. It's meshing so much with the fight that I never thought about it as a thing outside of the fight
