#FFXIV #FinalFantasy14 #Reaction

Soken has a band called The Primals. They perform songs live during events. They often get the lead of English localization to sing and sometimes the producer and director himself. But for this song, it's sung by Jason Charles Miller.
I've read somewhere that in their original versions, Shadowbringers is the first FF main theme to feature a guitar. Then it's followed by Endwalker, the upcoming expansion.
Its always awesome to see people admire the FF series from different points of view. Some people love the lore and that's what captivates them, some love the music, or maybe its the games that hook them. Can't wait to see more.
If you're after some guitar, may I suggest a track called The Black Wolf Stalks Again. I believe you will find it spicy.
On this, so Shadowbringers is a really interesting track because it's got three components. The opening is the first bit of the Shadowbringers closing theme, Tomorrow and Tomorrow, then the main portion of the song is called Who Brings Shadow. This is then interrupted by an arrangement of a common theme throughout the game, Eternal Wind, before returning to the end of Who Brings Shadow.
Oh, and Soken does play guitar with their in-house band The Primals.
5:31 – 6:41 this part actually track composed by previous legendary final fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu called Eternal Wind. So everytime i heard that part i literally had goosebumps how Soken can fit it properly in Shadowbringers theme.
need a warning for MAJOR plot spoilers
Soken himself plays electric guitar, piano, and Omatone lol. And yeah, since the music is part of a game soundtrack rather than a standalone song, it's often chopped up and the melodies and vocals reused throughout the soundtrack and cutscenes themselves, and a host of other songs from the game.
Loved seeing your reactions to the game's music, one I can reccomend is "welcome back soken" which is a collaboration of Shadowbringers music by 40 musicians and vocalists from the fanbase. Game has a lot of musical talent who play 😀
Ok so music wise and what's being shown are two different music tracks. The music that's playing in your video is from the trailer for Shadowbrings (would recommend watching that version as it fits better) and the video that's playing is sadly spoilers for the end… but what's REALLY playing during that section in the game is a song called "who brings shadow" kinda similar but different.
I really hope you check out 'to the edge' and 'return to oblivion' next. 'escape' is also amazing with some nice guitar!
I love this game and especially the music, usually I don't care when celebs get sick but learning that Soken is suffering from cancer makes me really sad.
YES!
you can also react to Astral Blader and Nefertiti from Atelier Meruru
Just some advice: I would just watch the game trailer to react to the music, or at least don't show the video that was attached to this. This had scenes and characters from the most recent expac and even I haven't finished the story, so any Sprouts that come to this could be spoiled. I had to scroll down and not watch your face because I didn't want to see any of the game cinematic.
I would love to see you react to Endwalker, but I would rather see you watch the actual trailer so you don't risk spoiling anyone.
SPOILER WARNING
Thanks for those mentioning it as I didn't know. There's some footage attached that contains spoilers.
I will be mindful of this in the future!
You should react to the cover made by Husky to celebrate Soken's recovery.
I suggest
Valse di Fantastica

Yoko Shimomura
i think better you watch the official cinematic trailer because this soundtrack tailored for that.
the video you post is full of big spoiler
So besides the already massive recommendation list you have, if you want one of the most interesting songs for musicians "Weight of the world/Prelude" is amazing, it is not composed by Soken, but rather keiichi Okabe who is the composer for the NieR franchise (which you will probably also get recommendations for soon)
If you want to meet our other lord and savior, Daisuke, check out the Guilty Gear soundtracks! Got that album drop with the free fighting game: Guilty Gear Strive release a few months back and there are some bangers
Hello! I didn't see anyone answer your question, but yes! There is another song that builds off of this one. That song is Invincible. Definitely give it a listen. The genre does slam off of rock and back into orchestral but it's *so good*.
Yeah the song plays during a main battle and halfway through transitions to another part that actually sounds just as good
I know you already made a comment about it but you should add “5.0 spoilers” to the video title.
You should listen to the "Neath Dark Waters" aswell which is a zone theme where players did quests for months then on the next update they released "To the Edge" which is the boss fight theme of the area which combines the games main theme "Shadow Bringers" and the Zones theme.
Personally my fav action oriented theme would be "Insanity" which is a combination of "Shadow Bringers" and other sets of themes. I really love how each instrument just tries to 1up each other.
Both these Composers have Bands; Soken & The Primals and Uematsu & The Black Mages. Also if you like Guitar Sounds, try this one:
