" Is that a build up coming?", " I gotta turn this up"
Me who's done this fight dozens of times: I see you are one of refined culture XD
Love the reaction as always man ^^
I wonder if you would do us all a favor and make a spotify playlist of all the songs you react to. Itâd be my new favorite playlist
Hell yes, dude. Great request by the community. I just love all the different layers to this song. Gets me hyped every time I hear it. I am glad you enjoyed it too!
you've gotta react to "Fiend" from ffxiv man it will be right up your alley
Keeping with the theme of xiv music. Either "Who Brings Shadow" or "Landslide" Eden 4's music.
I'm not sure how you feel about remix reactions but a channel called Husky By The Geek did a remix of this that I think surpasses the original if you want more guitar
Fiend from FFXIV next!!! You'll love it â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Learning the harder versions for these fights makes it so much fun and doable when you have such good music in the background lol
I'd love to se you watch some of the official music videos from the primals! Namely "Scions and Sinners: A Long Fall" and "Ultima"! Also awesome that you and Hurtbox uploaded on the same day, you guys have been so much fun to follow <3
Oh man, this is one of the tracks I was 100% hoping you'd react to. If you liked this, I reckon that you'd also enjoy 'Blood on the Wind' (Bozjan Southern Front Battle Theme).
oi wassup here to throw at ya a humble spam chain "voracity" by: myth and roid
can you hear the "ohm nom nom" in the song once you hear it you can never unhear it
catJAM
i would absolutely love to see you react to sephirots theme "Fiend" i feel like it's something you would really enjoy
Oddly enough you posted this today and we started our Emerald Weapon Extreme farm lol. Love your reactions.
This is one of my favorite XIV tracks, if you like this I would highly recommend giving Wrath of the Harrier (The Diablo Armaments Theme) and Metal: Brute Justice Mode both the regular and The Primals version
Keeping in theme of xiv music and coloured animals: give rise of the white raven a try
Has anyone recommended Wrath of the Harrier to you yet? I'd be shocked if not.
I hope you react to other Final Fantasy tracks. Like Dancing Mad(FF6, but there is a FF14 updated version), One Winged Angel (I recommend FF7 Advent Children version), Dark Messenger (FF9)
endwalker coming out next month, i am excited for the music alone! this track is just fire.
It may not be as guitar heavy, but it's an absolute banger and one of the best songs in ffxiv, namely: Return To Oblivion. It's just amazing
Falcom music needs some love lately, they make good music for their JRPG series, their universe has way more titles in the same world than even Final fantasy or Fire Emblem.
I think this one OST pretty much sums up the composers.

love these videos man
i always get mad joe satriani vibes from this track, from the firt moment i heard it in game
this was refreshing to see. I raid a LOT but sometimes I'm so into the mechanics I sometimes forget that the music is the perfect backdrop for all these encounters. new appreciation (on top of the appreciation i already had) for the track. thanks for the react vid Jesse!
This, To The Edge and The Diablo Armament are my favorite 3 songs from this expansion of XIV. If you love the first two, something tells me you'd love the last one as well.
I'd love to see Wrath of the Harrier (Diablo Armament theme) and Return to Oblivion
Another sick banger if You want is Ultima weapon theme. It's even covered by band in which some of the game devs play named The Primals đ love your reactions, and have fun with the music!
I still think you should Give titania theme a try
When I first heard this while doing the fight, I wasn't really able to focus on the music too much because I was really concentrating on the fight (it's pretty tough), so the music kinda just felt like "background noise" to me and I thought I didn't like it. Only thing that stuck out was that "du-du-du" part.
Now that I've had a chance to actually listen to it properly, I've pretty much had the same reaction as you. Absolute banger.
Sad you couldn't get the CD cut of it (albeit, not surprised considering it's really recent and most videos suffice the same) cuz the ending gets more than just a fadeout, and that little tiny bit they add is a cherry on top.
Out of curiosity – why are you using the AKG k240 studio for this? Do you have any other headphones?
Playing this raid day one, this music blew me away and I couldnât pay attention to the mechanics.
So many good parts to this epic masterpiece. The arpeggios, that sick acid synth line in response to the guitar riffs, the synths⊠fffffffff
I hear a lot of Cowboys from hell
this music has such a Shoji meguro in classic megaten energy.
"He can stalk me whenever he wants." You know, I've heard that same phrase said a lot in reference to that character.
Jesse you have got to do dark messenger ff9
1 fat and 1 opinion:
Fact: This piece was a collaboration between Nobuo Uematsu and Masayoshi Soken. Basically the original music guy for every game in the franchise up until now, and the guy he basically passed the baton to. As a lifelong fan of this series, this is pretty much Batman teaming up with Superman.
Opinion (honestly just another fact as well): I can say, as someone who has done Emerald several times (in 10-15 minute stints per go) that this song NEVER gets old.
I'd just like to say that I cannot unhear the Bach in this song now that you mentioned it. I took music way back when I was in high school and I had to learn Toccata and Fugue as my performance piece, but it had been so long, (twenty years,) that when I heard this absolute banger, I wasn't able to put two and two together on my own. So I'd just like to say thank you for the illumination, Jesse, now I know why this song resonates with me so much.
If i could request a song, could you check out "The Serpent who eats the horizon" from Bravely Default?
Since you like guitar music and FF14 songs, you could check out Husky by the Geek who does Rock covers of FF14 songs and other video game music. I would personally recommend Final Fantasy 14 goes Rock – The Maker's Ruin Medley (Ultima – Ardbert – Omega 12 themes).
Been enjoying your reactions to game music, especially the FFXIV ones!
If I may make an suggestion of my own (and if you're interested in retro games too) I can recommend the songs "Light and Darkness" or "Return to Mother Earth" from Terranigma.
That soundtrack is arguably one of the (if not THE) best OST on the SNES when it comes to the sound and composition. Terranigma is my favorite game on that console and I am totally not biased, I promise. cough
Lore: Kid melts himself inside a Mech to summon a simulacrum of a legendary general, the Black Wolf, his father. He is also fighting against his father so uhhh it's an awkward family reunion.
