  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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)

  5. 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.

  6. 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 🙂 love your reactions, and have fun with the music!

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. Playing this raid day one, this music blew me away and I couldn’t 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

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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).

  13. 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

  14. 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.
