Thats a masterpiece the ost is insane ! 🔥

A.

absolutely

It was sooo cool ! 😄

Just hit this part last night and I audibly gasped when I heard the Phoenix cry and Joshua swooped into frame with the music blasting. Such a good theme!

They actually hint to this earlier in the story during the scene right after the typhon fight, where a mellowed version of this plays as Joshua saves Clive

Quite heavily implied by the lyrics: Throw open your wings and fly Away Away Away

😊

Joshua ❤

Exactly, from that to later on fighting alongside his brother, it's so epic and yet heartwarming to finally reunite that way. I absolutely love the brotherhood in this game, including with Dion

I liked Joshua’s character development a bit more than Clive’s.

Spoilers : Sorry but i can't stop thinking Joshua should have been killed for good and become a reason to transform Clive's mindset, as he would have been responsible for the end of his beloved brother's life and should have faced the consequences of having a regal prince and heir to the throne savagely beaten to death. I understand Joshua's the dominant of the Phoenix, meaning he's symbolically and literally bound to some themes like "rebirth" - but precisely, his rebirth brings no RENEWAL in the plot : on the contrary, narratively speaking, everything remains the same - they're still brothers in the end, everyone forgives and forgets, so they still want to fight together, even if Clive nearly massacred Joshua's body as he couldn't keep Ifrit under control in the prologue, even if Joshua saw his own brother go mad at him and become a freaky hellish monster out of nowhere. Actually i feel like Joshua could have ended up as a final boss or something, being traumatised and radically changed by his brother's ambivalent nature, being an unknown dominant of fire casting some shadown on the regular one, being a threat for the mothercrystals, hearing voices, being a political traitor and prince-slayer. After all that, Joshua remaining a preacher of virtue seems illogical - he should have ended seeking revenge on Clive, or pursuing him as the monster he had become for all crystals and dominants, as it's the interest of all dominants, Joshua being one of them. But here again Square served us some Marvel "choose your Destiny" crap : F*ck the narrative if the two brothers, if Joshua's a popular character, we can't let him die the way Aerith did and we should write him a longer path instead, even if it implies simplifying our scenario and conceiving a stereotypical alien-ish allegory of fate from an outerworld who wants to end humanity in the name of Lovecraftish gods. Please : it's been the same story since XII and most of the players seem unsatisfied with it, so why not change it ??

Why does this make me laugh more than it should? 😂

This had no business making me laugh so hard.

perfectly timed 😂

omg😂😂😂😂 I'm wheezing

Sadly TOTK will win even if it has few musics. Because it's most popular. :(

Where did you find this?

OMG, this is insane that I just realized the lyrics was majorly in English. Cool man, thanks for sharing 🫡

@@nibelungvalestiiithey did almost everything in English first

This is indeed 100% Phoenix's theme. ❤

:)

Soken: but it is a final fantasy and so i must go all out

Don't forget My Star which is basically Jill's theme but with lyrics.

I also loved the Heart of Stone

Yes. but bg3 is 100 times better... damn

​@TheBalun99 you're allowed to have your opinion, as am I. I have yet to play BG3 and while I do plan to, I will for now have to tell you that you're wrong

​@@TheBalun99nah

@@TheBalun99 yea no one told you that you are completed brainwash

@@TheBalun99 true bg3 and totk this shit didnt deserve to win it's so bad lmao

Even more so since the Titan and Bahamut themes are also indisputable masterpieces. FF fans finally eating good again.

While on a giant deformed wyvern tail flower on top of a detailed burning city while flying over said burning city watching bahamuts wingspan out larger than the city itself. Thats scale right there

​@@RandalXVIThis entire section was just peak. So much shit happening at once and you're in the middle of it all.

The time is coming, the phoenix of the judgement finally arrive

Boy, same

also when it says in the end "bid farewell forever" and the second away 3x

you're not alone I can't stop tearing up every time I listen to this track and those lyrics hit

You should check our MarcoMeatball's analysis of this song.

This is probably my favorite music of the game !

I thought it was the main theme when i first heard it, sounds so familiar and catchy

when i tell you i thought the same thing!!!!! it even has that old school final fantasy magic

At the very beginning that is indeed one of the older battle theme intros. I am now going to scour them until I find the matching track. Edit: Battle 2 sounds like a good candidate for that opening segment in the first few seconds kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gthoqpSrvqyaZqs.htmlsi=5q_YyWJ9ahw5c6Ai

Me! I thought totk should have won until I heard this, well deserved 👍

Me also😊

Me, super deserved🎉

​@@Chr0ma856 Best music? For TOTK? The game barely has any music during the majority of the time you'll spend playing it :/

@@fabiof.8152 Yeah, but listen to the Demon Dragon theme and you’ll know what I mean. The game has incredible music, just not too many tracks.

stop putting onions to this it is been more than enough already 😭

😭😭 now his brother carries all that love and pride

It's actually Joshua's theme.

@@astrojeet yes but its not clear until this point

More Pheonix theme, Josh's 'theme' theme is going to be the mellowed version that plays when you see ultima for the first time

@@GooseGumlizzard It became clear when you fight Garuda and the Ifrit clone. each Eikon has their theme. Also the lyrics of this theme has references to the Phoenix. Look it up.

@@aoto8897isn’t Garuda’s theme just ‘To Sail Forbidden Seas’??

That's not really how it goes, these are the lyrics: Circled in the strife of an empyreal catastrophe Whorls of ire fan infernal flames on high! Fire in the night A scarlet beacon in the sky Look up to the heavens The firmament reddens Throw open your wings and fly! AWAY!!! AWAY!! AWAAAAAAY!!!!!!

@@adrianschaeuffler7513 hhaha it is, the chorus is not the same and both those lyrics are in the song.

@@adrianschaeuffler7513 you're both right. its just that the one you wrote is the first chorus.

It's the best part of the whole song, i keep repeating it.

@@adrianschaeuffler7513you’re listing the wrong song part

*proceeds to get torn to shreds minutes later*

The fact that this sounds just in the prologue

you are absolutely right

And it’s got a sadness to it too. It’s just so beautiful

You’re right its the best music of the game by far ! 🔥

Yeah this theme captures EVERYTHING about the moment its played. Twice. Not just for us as an audience, but for Joshua himself. Its really one of the greatest themes in all of Final Fantasy. I only wish 16 was just a BIT better as a game in terms of its story and....well.....RPG "elements" (if you want to call them elements).

This is the only reason Im sad that FF16 wasn't nominated but there are a lot of many great games this year

Fair

Indeed. This is probably the most competent track in the game that shows what peak Soken is capable of. Unfortunately his dungeon and battle tracks far outshine the rest of the OST by leagues.

Lbr they had to because its bahamut lol

Well, they knew they had to, because it is Bahamut, one of the fan favorites. I am glad they surpassed expectations with this one.

Dragon Ball games should have battles like this.

This fight has no business being this beautiful and amazing!!!!

Lets be honest. This was the closest thing we will ever get to a Panzer Dragoon remake or sequel. They did it justice.

3:10 for me

The chorus is chef kiss

Same. The drums are legendary

The set up is so hype

2:31 for me

I know, many people like that part, you should like 5:30 too

Your not alone homie

Nope

Absolutely. It is insufficient to describe the impact of this game on just a 2023 or Final Fantasy franchise level. The heights that FF16 reached on the 'gaming as an art form' front needs to be described on a history of gaming level.

My favorite music of the game 😄

Man, We've always Had a worthy sucessor to Nobuo, and her name is Yoko Shimomura

@@gabrielsemipro I absolutely love Yoko Shimomura. But imo the way they are composing songs are clearly different. Not better or worse, just different. But all of them, Soken, Uematsu, Shimomura, all of them are extremely good.

Y’all are forgetting about Masashi Hamauzu.

Bahamut fight is the best imo

@@ANTHONYACUNA1Fact

The fact that Joshua joins Clive when he's using that beam attack is also a great touch

also how he greets the player in the Coils of Bahamut raid

I noticed that too!!!

He even does Teraflare similarly! His is just blue, as opposed to the reddish-orange of Bahamut Prime

The violin goes hard as FUCK

When I heard that track I kept listening to the fight on Meloo's channel while I'm still waiting for Mundus to upload the OST. The soundtrack is on fire it can overheat the PS5 😆

It's called Ascension man plenty up on KZfaq! Such an epic track love it.

what game you playing beside fgo?

@@MundusFate Currently playing Honkai Star Rail, though sometimes I play my old games like FFVIII or Dynasty Warriors when I'm bored 😌

@@rejoicingfakepriest201 oh VIII I havent played, finished Extra games?

@@MundusFate People said VIII was bad, but I really like it because it was my entry to Final Fantasy franchise 😆 Also if you meant Fate/Extra, I have only played the regular Extra, and only on Nameless/Emiya route 😁

​@@rejoicingfakepriest201you know what? My sis introduced me to play FF7 when we have PSX.

Im trying to get into it too, any tips?

not bragging but I think my taste is decent play VII remake friend, next year has part 2

@@adamharith782 the series has many titles have different stories but have some same elements. if you using pc try VII remake or XV first

@@MundusFateUnderstood 🫡

@@MundusFate Tbh, I dont really have a good pc or any console to play with. I never really play any game. Im the type that watch the gameplay on YT you know? Im 15 and, yeah school shit and the lack of courage to ask my parent to buy me a PC or anything is just there. The only thing I currently playing is FGO on my semi-potato phone. Im just here for the lore and memes ya know? So, I guess this is the part where I ask you where to start so that I can just watch some gameplay.

Soken does ALL THE CALLBACKS all the leit motifs. He doesn't fuck around.

I even here a bit of the FF8 battle theme in the normal battle theme of FF16

@@Kromgar1337 Garuda's theme is full of FFXIV callbacks if you listen closely

it did!

He’s like 25-28 something now. My boy is a young man now 🥹

Joshua & jote = roxas & xion

@@bruhh0713h I feel like the ff16 trio are more like the Wayfinder trio. If anything I think Roxas and Xion are more Cloud and Tifa. While Joshua is more Ventus.

​@@aoto8897we are talking about looks

@@specialnewb9821 Ventus and Roxas look the same 😂 Also look wise Roxas & Xion are more Cloud & Tifa.

Maybe one day we will get a remaster of 14 but with single player only. I wouldn't mind it.

@@oculustri3204I mean they already have a stellar story all they need to do is tweak the gameplay. Imagine changing jobs on the spot like you do with eikon powers in 16 it would be so cool.

God I can't even imagine doing Hades or Endsinger on graphics and animations like this. The WoL would be like Michael Bay x1000 blowing his load on the screen just to be faithful to what we do in FFXIV

This just the legendary retelling of the great Louisoux and his brother versus bahamut post 1.0 Also convinced this was the DRK story Yoshi p wanted to tell in ffxiv... but not everyone is a DRK

this is Phoenix's theme though.

IKR lol reminds me of childhood days playing Panzer Dragon on sega saturn

It has a ton of competition from XIV but it clears the top ten easily.

Top Tier…💯💯 that sequence is so satisfying

Yeah me to

Thank you!

In Greek mythology Prometheus is the titan who stole the fire from Mt Olympus and gifted it to humans. Epimetheus is the titan who was married to a woman called Pandora created by the Greek gods, she brought with her the infamous Pandora’s box, which contains all the woes of the world but also hope. Both are relevant to the themes of phoenix, fire and rebirth.

@@blueknife7747 Phoenix is also an Egyptian Myth (and arguably the first one).

I like your name also Phoenix, is it from this game?

@@MundusFate oh my username? Nah. I’ve had this as my username for a few years now, just ironic how they made the Phoenix summon one of the major story points in this game lol
