No word of a lie, that felt like a final stand moment.

This is an old comment but I really wanted our character to run onto the scene being controlled by AI so we could fight alongside 'ourselves' with this music playing DAMN IT

@@HyperTailsX thisss honestly. i want to feel like a background character for once, see how i look through the eyes of the friends and allies we met along the way. i know they think we're awesome as hell, but seeing it is always better than just knowing it. i was also pretty disappointed when we had to play as y'shtola in that one msq and the wol wasn't fighting in the background... just empty space outside the arena. i would've been pretty happy even if it's just them bonking sadu over the head with their weapon over and over lol

My favorite fight in the game, I was so stressed out and I loved it

@@luzloshiv as a SMN I agree that watching Sadu getting smacked repeatedly in the head by a Lala with a book would've been awesome

Insert cartoon running sound effect.

Imagine if you're a villain, and this is said out of nowhere, lmao

@@LukahnTheMan smellvin is aproaching.

​@@LukahnTheManhaha, *i'm in danger*

I saw this comment out of context and I thought this was a meme. I just finished Stormblood, I was having too much fun holding the line til the WoL arrived

Dark Passenger shall not be forgotten

got the same situation there for me

same here, god damn it!!! it was so powerfull in my heart

It was so fitting and I regret not recording the battle.

I agree. The event in itself is already pretty intense, but the way the music kicks in and fits perfectly into the ongoing battle... This is in the top of instanced solo content, up there with the Grand Melee.

Sending your personal Xaela army after the Imperial dogs.

Just did that fight and it was quite possibly my favorite moment in the game so far, especially when this music kicked in. Something about how mere moments earlier, you were all fighting, each other, then, they were all backing you up. "And my first order as your new leader: Kick these guys' sorry asses off our steppe and all the way back to Garlemald."

Definitely my favourite moment in Stormblood so far, and possibly one of my favourites from the whole game! This music kicking in really made the moment for me, it was so powerful!

Welcome to the community! You're in for more awesome themes as you progress.

You sir, just heed to the call of arms, welcome to the fight comrade!

10/10 realy makes you feel you’re doing epic shit

Shadowbringers has a feeling of desperation and having to survive. Its boss theme is 🔥

@@andrebaxter4023 As someone just getting here now, I already knew to expect great music seeing as it's Final Fantasy but when I reached this I'm like... God, this is too perfect, this is the apex, how can it get better than this? But looking it up and seeing this statement repeated over many times has me trembling in anticipation.

If that is the official lyrics, my god that's amazing

ColonelSanic that is I believe the official lyrics

For Ala Mhigo "uses corps-a-corps"

SoulBL4D3 GOD. Even the lyrics are hot-blooded as fuck! I love this damn song

And for Doma!! *HISSATSU: KAITEN*

The youngins often go the hardest

Flavian It’s not going anywhere. If anything, the new Hard Mode dungeons Shadowbringers will offer will keep this theme. Just as the Hard Mode version of Heavensward dungeons.

Fell in absolute jaw-dropped love when I reached my first SB Dungeon boss blind and this absolute banger filled my ears, hands-down my favourite dungeon theme. While a lot of people hate that the "Phantoms on the Lake" theme got cut short into "Persistence", I absolutely LOVE any and all SB dungeons that have Persistence for the mini-bosses and Triumph for the final bosses. Just an absolutely gloriously epic musical duo for any dungeon boss.

@@RopeDrink Dude me too,Persistence+Triumph is the best soundtrack combo any dungeon can have for me.

This song still gives me gooseflesh when that chorus kicks in.. gets you right in the chest

We Fall.

not only this but every other theme, especially torn from the heavens

@@bingus6869 The man and his team are masters.

I have listened to Answers 98645676543 times and still cry.

The secret to the sorcery is the hook at the end when the choir kicks in, that's how. :P

I was running some roulettes recently and got Stormblood content a LOT, and I definitely share this sentiment. So good.

@@GregorytheImpaler Tons of new players getting access to Stormblood does that

B0000000000000M!

And you still feel bad for having to kill him, given how he wound up after the shit we put him through.

WE GO TOGETHEEEER!!!!

Shawn Pupe And he has a chainsaw to boot.

My fc really didn't get why I was so distraught after having to kill him, but for me it was truly disturbing seeing how a sort of minor character had to suffer so much to be able to kill the WoL and still after being grotesquely disfigured and experimented on failed. I HATED him and thought he was the most obnoxious character in the story so far but after the fight I felt truly sad and sorry for him. He never had a choice.

FFXIII-2 OST - Unseen Abyss would like the have a word with you :D

G Amano was good morning

G Amano shadowbringer boss theme: hold my chord

Shadowbringers: WE FAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!

In the history of mankind

I get goosebumps when the stormblood theme part appears in the endwalker full trailer

@@torduz4282 If you listen closely, the HW leitmotif appears during Estinien's little bit. I imagine someone will find that ShB also has its theme in the trailer somewhere.

@@Argascend already does, we've known that from day 1. Listen to the lyrics during the g'raha segment through y'shtola's

@@OddlyFittingName Cool. I don't really have an ear for these things so I got SB immediately and HW took me a few more times, but completely missed ShB.

@@Argascend closely? :D isn't it pretty obvious...?

Its the lyric section.... Legit all of the other expac boss themes sound kinda weak and SB comes in with that STORM OF BLOOOOD STORM OF BLOOOOD

Let me tell you how excited I was to hear this track in Another Mount Rokkon.

Same!!

Ok, I might just have to either learn my Scholar or put more effort into leveling up Astro, because that sounds absolutely godly and I wanna bear witness to it.

Ranged too lol

Agreed! Gets me fired up more than any other final dungeon theme!

I think the story in Stormblood is massively underrated. It's soo good. Its honestly the most grounded story in ffxiv. While you got a war with dragons in one expansion, drama with angels in a parallel world and travel space in others, Stormblood is about oppression and revolution! I love a good fantasy story, but i feel like Stormblood didnt mind getting real

the start contrast of two small scale conflicts, versus the war for a star.

@@maevekirkland9452 well, two of em. And your own life.

The chorus is why I deem this the best boss theme till today

buy the orchestrion roll and stay in the inn room!

@@knuckles543 where can you buy it?

@@dr_hellcat_6664 on the marketplace board; though be prepared to drop a LOT of gil for them, alternatively orchestrion rolls in general drop as loot in certain dungeons and raids, I believe triumph drops from the end of expansion boss or the dungeon before it.

Nice to hear it’s not just me doing that 😆 Stormblood is awesome

Stormblood is my fav part of XIV hope you enjoy it! ^^ Amazing game

i actually loved it a lot! it was a really interesting expansion and im very happy with the direction it took

Should mention what patch.

Just got up to that part a few days ago and that shit had me dying lol

@@magnumbadguy9354 "Little Sun! Little Sun! Does it pain you, Little Sun?"

prideofasia99 Sadu has I coming for just brutally clowning on him but I think the real evil one here is Y’shtola, shot his ass down in front of everyone lmao. Poor Magnai

Old comment but whatever And now that we're kinda confirmed to be sundered Azem which is the source of Sun God.... Magnai was mocked in front of his god too.

@@magnumbadguy9354 Man, Magnai brought some game too lol

Samantha Angeline Defensor Thank you, I never could quite understand what they were saying.

So, Fear The Old Blood?

@@VisionoftheChief it's a year late but good joke

.

Indeed, lief motifs are powerful things in music. FFXIV's OST is a top-notch showcase of that, especially Stormblood.

ugh and the royal menagerie phase 2???? please....

I solely switched my main from BRD to DNC for this specific reason when doing SB rouls

My 3 are dark Knight, summoner, and reaper

Yoshi-p please make this happen!!!!!!!!

@@EliwoodX8 But he already did? Right at the start of Shadowbringers there's a big duty where everyone is trying to hold Zenos off long enough for you to arrive, and then you duel again. This is playing through the duty.

@@ChibiTails thats not Zenos tho. doesnt really count.

I want a more epic remix of Triumph! (Not saying it's not already epic, I just want one even MORE EPIC)

@@Goujiki The Worm's Tail, then?

I hear "For Ala Mhigo!" In Ilberd's voice. Makes me wonder what would have happened if he did things a different way.

I wonder if anyone realizes Doma was the name of Cyans kingdom from ff6, i bet a 10000 gil that I’m the only one that noticed

@@queenmarisa where is my 10000 gil?

@@ArcaniumPrime liiiies you googled it

@@queenmarisa hahahaha Naw I'm old :/ I played the classics growing up!

FACTS!

AGREED

I did this yesterday I was kinda freaking out when it came on, what a great quest line

I feel like the new boss theme is a bit too short

I thought Nobou did this one.

This was better than shadowbringers one

That's expensive, I hardly go there. I mean, I have decent enough cards, but... You know. Playing Triple Triad sucks.

Dolphinboi just do Mini Cactpot. Play your cards right and you get 50,000 within a week from that alone.

@@dolphinboi-playmonsterranc9668 Play mini cactpot, and hunt for the jackpot, it's not too hard and gives 10k

@@OhNoTheFace also doing the fashion get 10k for just participating since that all I do ever since I got pissed when the last one I tried to do was job exclusive even though THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN WEAPONS!!!

@@dolphinboi-playmonsterranc9668 can make 27k in like 5min doing the minion mini game challenge logs.

Nobody seems to think so but I enjoyed Stormblood more than Shadowbringers. Hope you like it :)

@@dreamer6737 tbh I quit in the middle of Shadowbringers to make an alt just to play Stormblood again.

Easily!

amen

My husband loves it too, but ShB grew on him.

"I GOT YOU NOW"

"SLOPPEH!"

I'm gonna say it, Insatiable and Triumph are punching at each other's weight.

in your dreams triumph even touches insatiable or even ominous prognisticks, you must be smoking that good stuff, cause this theme just doesnt have that oomph that the other 2 themes have

I find the Shadowbringers boss theme kinda... meh. Like it's good but it has nothing on this.

@@1jidion Methinks you're the one smoking the Gysahl Greens, bud. When the chorus kicks in, how can you not feel a desperate surge of energy? Don't get me wrong, I love them all (all of FFXIV's OST really), and perhaps I'm especially partial to Stormblood since it was the current content when I started playing (~2018) *and* I'm a sucker for everything about the story, locales, people, etc. of the expansion, but I struggle to see how anyone could think this expansion fell flat or that the OST is flat in comparison to any of the others. Like, the power of a good lief motif, which Stormblood has, is incredible, and this theme gives "that oomph" in that way. Also, the powerful brass, the chorus, the lyrics, the fast and desperate percussion, the piano... man, how can you *not* feel like giving it all you got against the boss to this?

Yup, i prefer this one too. Though the ShB OST is amazing, i prefer the SB OST. 😛

Meanwhile Zenos instilled a "oh yes, a worthy prey" kind of feel, but then again I was thinking of the encounter in my WoL's specific PoV of being a "monster hunter". Now, as player, I'm just "oh boi it's another gameplay and story segregation huh..."

Mine was when, spoilers... You do your level 90 dps ranged quest in EW with Hien and crew fighting the blasphemy together! Gotta love how they bright it back one last time! So damn epic!

@@thechampuru...that reminds me, I still have that RQ to do on my 2nd toon :D

Everyone singing it together at the end gave me chills

Same.

I agree

I liked Heavensward's but this one is just as good.

It's the best

I play for like 3 month and my favorite is triumph by far This soundtrack is incredible

like in chat?

@@Guardsmen4 it's a MSQ reference

@@jota5453 i understand that i just was hoping that you could play the bgm with text command being able to change bgm while i am out doing fates would be so cool

Our most radiant brother would be very pissed.

I wasn't very fond of this theme for some reason. I hope I'll like Shadowbringers' boss theme more.

**looks at clock** yeah, hasn't been topped

Rhiannercakes I would generally agree, but Nidhogg's theme in Heavensward is just amazing!

No love for Lakshmi?

meh niddhogs was lame

One of my Faves next to doma castle

I love this but also put soul surrender alongside as great boss music

Same here! It sends little shivers up my spine and makes it sounds absolutely amazing.

yeah, especially at :50 where Chant starts then descends with music in 2 sec span. And it begins again but much stronger. Hopefully there is a soundtrack that uses these themes in the majority of the duration :)

"Storm of Blood, Born from blood Of our fallen brothers Borne upon our hand, Cradled in our arms, Swelling in our hearts ! Raise your weary head, Heed the call to arms Ringing in your heart !" The lyrics make the chanting even more epic :D

Then you should look for Shinru's Theme (Phase 2) which is basically this choirs to the maximum expression. I love it. :)

I mean this is also an optional dungeon so no biggie honestly

The regular Doma Castle duty or the Castle's lower levels (Dungeon)?

Or you know it could mean it's a great present, like all his birthdays at the same time

You'll like a lot of the Heavensward tracks :)

Insatiable is so terrible lol

yeh

I don’t hate Insatiable, but this theme is definitely leagues ahead, may be the best boss theme in the game, it’s hard to top it

I cant wait to get sick of it many months from now. But seriously speaking, i don't think i will get sick of this for quite a long time, it's probably the best normal boss theme so far.

@The Killcode At the end of the expansion following this one, and thank the gods, Triumph still fucking slaps.

I think that they both fit there theme of the expansion perfectly. Stormblood is about uprising, revolution, and well Triumph. Shadowbringers is about despair, dread, and survival. That's why this one gets you pumped as fuck, while shadowbringers gets you tense and focused

same shadowbringers is ok but this is my fav

Definitely a strong contender with Insatiable, for sure.

I like the shadowbringers one a lot, but the stormblood boss theme is really something else.

@@D01287410 This is purely subjective, arbitrary, and for fun so take it with a grain of salt, but I get less tense and focused feelings from Insatiable and more "hopeless, jaded struggle, but it's all we've got so we might as well try" vibes. Triumph makes the bosses feel daunting but ultimately beatable, like I can't lose given all I have *to* lose; meanwhile, Insatiable makes the bosses truly feel impossible to overcome, everything is lost already, and the world is doomed... yet that impossible twinkle of a dream, a world freed from that boss, should not be given up on, at least freely. My overly flowerly language aside, it's as you say, though - they both fit their respective expansions like a tailor-made glove.
