My intro/outro theme is from a very talented artist named Otso, I highly consider checking the song out! It’s called “Cute ninjas (don’t) cry”

I think you would LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE emerald weapon theme from ff14 def worth a listen.
For someone who is into hard metal (and other music) and says their feelings are reserved, it's very comforting to listen to you speak!
Please check Rise, specially THE PRIMALS version.
Even if you don't make videos on these other FFXIV songs I'd definitely recommend you also listen to Wayward Daughter, What Angel Wakes Me, Beauty's Wicked Wiles, Weight of the World (Prelude Version), Thunder Rolls, Twice Striken, Equilibrium, The Queen Awakens, Wrath of the Harrier, Return to Oblivion, Sunrise, From the Dragon's Wake, and Amatsu Kaze. All of these are show off just the kind of range that Soken has and uses when he makes music for these big fights. Again, I'm not asking you to do videos on all of these songs I did kinda just dump out like 13 names, but they are all great songs I'm sure you'd enjoy to at least listen to at some point in your free time.
Some of the songs you've already listened to even tell stories or are sung from the perspective of another character we don't really hear much from. Answers and Dragonsong are both sung from this character's perspective, Dragonsong in particular actually gives backstory to the Dragonsong War which encompasses much of the crux of the story conflict during the Heavensward expansion.
When you said Weight of the World, all I could think of is Weight of the World-Prelude which is a FFXIV/Nier Automata collaboration song from one of the later raids.
So a suggestion based on your reactions to Hades, and just in general being a Great Song – From the game Bastion: Build That Wall.
Loving your content! It's given me a new appreciation and perspective of music. Looking at music (or rather, hearing it) in a new way. Finding emotions and meaning in them.
Jesse. If you see this, I recommend Alcaleone, from ACTRAISER Renaissance. You'll definitely love it. It's up your alley, 100%>
It's always cool to see the way Soken can build a theme up through progressive iterations, intensifying it until you reach the climax of the story.
A good example of this would be, in the order they appear in the game, Neath Dark Waters, then Mortal Instants, then To the Edge. Well, you've listened to To the Edge already, but I think listening to the previous two would help give some more context to To the Edge. I think Mekkah Dee's videos will probably be the first hits when you search for them. I think those are best bet, good visuals.
For something completely different, maybe give a listen to Lilium by Kumiko Noma. It's the opening to an anime called Elfen Lied. Fair warning though, it's almost 6 minutes long.
It's so nice to see people's reactions to music from my favorite game and know what they think about it. Thank you!
Since you liked so much music from Heavensward you might check its trailer (story spoilers): https://youtu.be/0JeUGDuUpDk
I hope you like it!
I wonder if he's had any requests to listen to Fiend (Sephirot's theme) and also the Brute Justice theme? they're so good but understandably there are so many other great OSTs to react to
Funny how you mention the weight of the world. There is actually a music in FFXIV titled "Weight of the World" (A remix from Nier Automata) that is truly epic 😀
When I did this and the music came in, it was so much epicness I wish I could jump into the screen and fight the dragon myself.
🎶 🎵 "Cruisin down the street in my six four bumpin the sound of Revenge of the Horde" 🎶 🎵
Fun Fact* :The “Endwalker” Theme is actually a medley of all the expansions’ themes.
Love FFXIV!
Want to take one from left field and try a mobile video game's music? "A Moment of My Nightmare" from Girls Frontline.
The feeling when you've beaten the crap out of Nidhogg and he flies off and lands down glowing red and angry while this theme starts playing
Well now I want him to review the three final Ultimate themes too
Beyond Redemption from UCoB
Ultima (Orchestral) from UwU
Moebius (Orchestral) from TEA
All those are utter badass.
… Thordan extreme, phase 1. that is all :3
Can you do a reaction to everything ff14. The game has too many bops. The extreme trial theme songs are usually the best.
Unbending Steel (Ravana's theme) is in my opinion the best boss theme song from the game, I'm sure you'd love it!
Love the energy and positivity! One follow for you sir.
If you're looking for a song in the same vein as this, you might want to try "Proof of a Hero" from the Monster Hunter franchise. It's incredible in how it conveys that feeling of a thin line between triumph and disaster.
Fun fact, a version of "Proof of a Hero" was played at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony. Kind of crazy for a video game soundtrack.
New to Final Fantasy XIV music?
Yours is a long road, my friend, and it stretches on to places beyond imagining 🙂
Entire Heavensward was pretty much a reward for surviving the "old" ARR (pre-streamlining main story quests) and this music was certainly of the biggest rewards.
What an epic friggin finale, putting an end to a war and saving a friend.
Just one thing to note. This fight with Nidhogg is easily the most cinematic fight in the game until the end of the main story in Shadowbringers. There is such intense buildup to this fight that starts even before the Heavensward expansions story kicks off. And if you play a Dragoon, you're feeling this buildup from not long after the beginning of the game when you unlock the job. And that buildup gets more and more intense as the story goes on. This is a huge climax in the story, and the story does it justice.
We would not get a fight this emotionally intense for a long, long time. We saw this fight in June of 2016. The next time we saw this kind of emotional climax was in July of 2019.
Loving the content dude just one ff14 request called The Black Wolf Stalks Again also a final phase of a boss. Also maybe Armor Clad Faith from Guilty Gear 🙂
I've watched all your FFXIV reacts so far and I think you would enjoy two others. "Locus," which is such a fun song from FFXIV. There is a lot of serious, beautiful music in this world, but there is also some fun stuff. Also "Insatiable" is one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy all the music the FFXIV world has to offer, it's all beautiful works of art.
You have to hear FINAL FANTASY XIV – Revolutions, a really great Song composed by Nobuo Uematsu.
Indeed you can take a look of the FFXIV version of Weight of The World from Near Automata, or Kaine. Both tracks are just insane good.
