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”

Heeeey man… I hear you dig piano… This one has no lyrics but doesn't need em.
'Old Wounds' (The Lochs Night-Theme) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cdppk3_HhNs
Also, I've seen a bunch of people recommend 'Return to Oblivion' which IS a great song, but a lot of the appreciation for that song comes from the original tune 'Oblivion'
I recommend watching this video first instead of a lyric video because… never mind… You'll see why…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUNvIAcMsYg
i knew ud hear powerman5k too, its so damn similar lol
Yooo i was about to recommend this song in the comment but this came up can't waiiiit 😭
Lore question: Sephirot (FFXIV) & Sephiroth (FFVII) arne't directly related. Sephirot is actually related to FFVI originally.
The name's origin has their connecting detail:
Səphīrōth (סְפִירוֹת, medieval Hebrew form of Sephirot; also spelled Sefirot), is a plural noun in Hebrew; the singular is Sephirah (also spelled Sefira). The Sephiroth are described in the Kabbalah as the manifestations of God that allow him to manifest in the physical and metaphysical universes. Sephiroth also means "counting" (of numbers).
nice, powerman
Yeah the reason it keeps looping is because the boss had a shitton of HP on release, also it was the last boss from back when they didn't let you respawn if you fell out of the stage. Usually on your first time you get pushed immediately and spend the next few minutes jamming to the song while everyone kills it lmao
Lore: it's just a giant tree god with 6 arms and 90 abs. Kill it before it kills you.
Just for your information, next time you react to FFXIV song be aware that most of them is looping because it is ingame battle/field theme. If it reach 50% of the video length, high chance you already heard the full song 🙂
If you haven't reacted yet to "Metal: Brute Justice Mode" from FFXIV, it's worth checking out. Definitely one of the more unusual songs from FFXIV, but a very popular song in the FFXIV community.
Yeah, so Powerman 5000 actually got upset and accused Soken of ripping them off.
Spider One posted about it on the band's Facebook in 2016:
"Really? Got to say that the level of unimaginative theft that was used in creating this music for #finalfantasyXIV is mind blowing!
I mean, this is When Worlds Collide!
Using something as inspiration is one thing but a straight up rip off is another!
Did they really think no one would notice?
#FFXIV#ripoff
To clarify, this is music from the game. If it was a song made by a fan, we wouldn’t care."
Naoki Yoshida then actually made an official comment on it:
"Regarding the Music for the 2nd Phase of Containment Bay S1T7 I have read through your comments concerning the BGM for the 2nd phase of the Containment Bay S1T7 battle with Sephirot, and I would like to personally explain how the track was conceived.
As most FINAL FANTASY fans already know, Sephirot (the Fiend) is a legacy boss character who originally appeared in FINAL FANTASY VI. When considering how to portray Sephirot’s return in FINAL FANTASY XIV, we decided to pay tribute to FFVI by working VI’s “Battle to the Death” track into the Containment Bay S1T7’s first phase, while opting
to create an FFXIV original for the second.
Building upon the motif of Sephirot as a representation of the World Tree, to create this FINAL FANTASY XIV original track, we further incorporated story-driven themes of
death and a warped obsession with life, all while utilizing a musical genre─industrial rock─which we believed would provide substantial emphasis to the message.
Industrial rock is a popular genre that can be further divided into numerous sub-genres. Countless songs from these genres have been released worldwide, and I have been
made aware of an allegation regarding similarities between an existing track and the track created for the 2nd phase of Containment Bay S1T7. However, track composer
Masayoshi Soken, has also stated to me that he was unaware of the track in question while working on this FINAL FANTASY track.
We hope that you continue to enjoy FINAL FANTASY XIV battle content."
Spider One then replied in another Facebook post to say that the band wasn't thinking about suing or anything:
“UPDATE on the Final Fantasy music controversy.
Fascinated by the level of interest in this. Opinions range from total agreement to extreme hatred towards the subject (and me apparently)
So crazy.
The original post was a two sentence observation about a piece of music that was way too similar to be coincidence.
Since then it has been taken as some sort of declaration of war. Oh, internet…
Anyway. There’s no lawsuit, there’s no cry for attention or publicity. Just an observation.
Going back to my normal M.O of not participating in social media. Thanx for the fun!
See ya on the road in March/April
If you like symphonic music check out Promises to Keep. That song starts at 100% from second 1.
RETREAT WHERE LESSER MEN LEAD
FLEE FROM WHAT YOU DO NOT SEE
Here is how it sounds live since you kind of asked. Not terribly good quality but its something!

THE EDGE IS CALLING TONIGHT
Titanias theme from ff14 is a banger
This song is so damn good, but I got so distracted by the party getting obliterated by those Earthshakers nearly every time the mechanic happened lol
Talking about Ramstein, the song "Unbending Steel", which is the theme of Ravanah in ffxiv, is often called the "Ramstein" song. Maybe you will react to it some day so I won't spoil anything but I'm sure you will hear in the first 20 seconds why.
Loving these reactions, you should check out “Howl of the Departed” from Lost Odyssey. The composer is the same as the og FF games: a man that loves classical, metal, and rock music and puts it altogether into a masterpiece! And just cuz, it’s got some nice guitar too :3
Yeah I always got like a slowed down Static X from this but I guess that just describes Powerman 5000.
Likely been recommended a bunch, but hey, I'd love to see your thoughts on any of these:
Persona 5 Strikers: Axe to Grind
SMT Strange Journey: Fear of God
Digital Devil Saga 2: Hunting (Betrayal) or Brahman
Undertale: Megalovania (as much as it is a meme, it's great)
Omori: You Were Wrong, Go Back
Nier Automata: Bipolar Nightmare
Persona 5: Rivers in the Desert
Dark Souls: Gwyn's Theme
Devil May Cry V: Devil Trigger
Hotline Miami 2: A Way Home
Love the content you're putting out, here for it regardless of what you react to. Feel free to interrupt the music more and offer personal thoughts/insights on individual instrumentals and themes you notice. It's great to hear your thoughts on individual parts of songs.
There’s a song called blinding indigo in ffxiv which is fantastic but the ff14 band the primals has a re recorded version on the ffxiv official YouTube channel and its VERY good
I see Jesse on FFXIV music again. I like and comment as I need moar xD
If people ask me what genre of music I like I just say FInaly Fantasy 14.
Requesting Jesse react to Masayoshi Soken singing LAHEE at fan fest lmfao
the lead singer of powerman 5k i think, was talking about suing square enix on twitter when this song was popular because it sounded similar nothing happened though 🙂
edit: watched the end of the vid
THE EDGE IS CALLING TONIGHT!
I’m new to the channel, have you listened to Devil May Cry V Bury the Light?
You know, it would sound rad af live, but the chorus just makes me want it in some home theater surround sound.
You'll notice it more as you listen to more FFXIV music as the expansions go, but that "dial tone" is kind of a lite-leit motif for many of the songs from the HW expansions. Eventually you get to Shadowbringers and Endwalker music where its hard to tell in some songs how much of the song ISNT part of a callback lol.
The Rammstein comparison is on point.
It's funny because when the first 'The edge is calling tonight' drops during the fight, there's an knockback during the encounter that if you don't resolve correctly, you fall off, the edge.
SAY HIS NAME
SAY HIS NAME
Say my name! …. so awesome
Let's be real: With "Answers" and "Dragonsong" you already had the best two songs of FF14, and they're the best by a landslide. It only goes down from there.
