There's a reason this orchestrion roll is one of the most expensive ones on the market board.

The song helps keep the blood pumping as we do the fight. It goes perfectly with all the mechanics.

I can't repeat myself often enough. FF14 has some of the most amazing songs that I've never heard before in an MMO or in games in general. While a lot of games have great songtracks, the amount of variety in all directions to please everyones taste and fit right into the theme is something that I find so unique in FF. I played a lot and especially in MMOs, raided a lot. But FF does something with the music that just hypes you up. People who haven't played the game will probably never notice how well they sync the SONG with MECHANICS. This gives so much more intensity and also gives you a natural flow you can follow.

3:56 and onwards gave me goosebumps, so good

has anyone linked you In the Balance yet from the new alliance raid in xiv?? idk how well it'd pair with metal but it's SO DAMN GOOD. I'd love to see you listen to it

A year later, i still require a long version of this to live

That big grin just tells a viewer everything they need to know. Such an amazing song and then you're having a blast playing off it!

5 replays in I'm giving up and just putting it on loop. You absolutely killed it!

3:56 subbed instantly

4:29 I saw that smirk you did before you hit that slide, that was badass.

This slaps so hard omgg

DAMN THAT SHRED

Holy shit dude you absolutely nailed the solo part in your first playthrough - do you have the Echo too? (= the protagonists ability to see attacks telegraph as orange danger zone)

I really love seeing these videos pop in my feed. This one especially is epic!

Oblivion deserved what it got in Eden's Verse: Refulgence and Return to Oblivion deserves what you just gave it. You were right, it does melodically come from a different song, earlier in the game. There's an ARR fight with the original Shiva and that has a song called "Oblivion" that this is a sort of reprise/revisit of.

Oh, I'm *definitely* coming back to this one time to time. Fantastic Job! Glad you enjoyed yourself with this one!

This song PUMPS! Great shredding my man.

Great song! I bet your gonna love the Endwalker tracks when you get to them! So many great songs to jam to!

Ah, nice. This one is my go-to. The fight is hard as hell, but you don't care because you just want to listen to the song over and over. It loops so well, it has those super hype "get up and move" riffs and those more chill moments to take a breather.

That’s a like and a sub my dude you are amazing!! I have listened to this maybe 100 times and you made it so much more!!

well played, i love guitar solos in general really much. you done well, i really have to check out the rest and your twitch channel

I progged this fight for like 3+ months, how did I ever start tuning out how much the music slaps? XDDD Super riff-able, awesome to listen to go ham over it!

My god, ffxiv music is so diverse and above all else, so good. Soken is a legit genius. Your accompaniment was very well executed.

Siiiiiick

The algorithm has blessed my timeline with many of your videos today. Enjoying the content.

I'd kill for a rendition of "The Nautilus Knoweth". Casual nighttime vibe music in Old Sharlayan played with electric guitar taking a turn like a casual airship flight over the island.

This has been up for almost a year already and it still gives me chills.

Holy crap! Was it really your first time hearing it? Your improvisation was sick af dude |m|

This song is genuinely one of my faves from XIV. This raid series has really great remixes of previous boss themes in general but this one is the peak

Chills !! So good!!

i would love beating the boss with this arrangements along the fight.. ❤️

Wonder if lollia cover this and get TE to feat the guitar for her again!

first time see your channel, rad stuff man!

This was a fucking jam! Impressive as always! It may be hard to go back to the original after hearing your interpretation.

you fucking KILLED IT dude.

God damn that shred. Hats off to you sir

Came here for the analysis, but that quick improv of Bad Apple was so sick I subbed instantly.

This was so epic!

holy shit

What an underrated ass fucken video dude

O.M.G The solo started from 4:00, just blow my mind. AMAZING!!!!!

Dude wtf?!?! It's almost like you know the actual song! :O

Dude this is so dope

Shredding

I BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS TO COME OUT YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS LOL

Oooooo YES

5 days later I'm still crazy about the solo at 3.55 , you're crazy dude xD

I don't represent the SE music department, but have you been hired? You hit every note perfectly. It was magic in my ears

So freakin' good. Like damn.

we gotta start calling these recreates cause your ability to sit these for such a short time and riff that hard is always a surprise

to be honest, you can make an actual remix video where people could just loop it forever lol... or even upload to some official music stream... thought i am not sure about the copyright stuff on that...

Great work!! Love your FF covers man!! Can you cover the Theme of „The Wanderer's Palace (Hard)“ next, please?

This cover is by far the best guitar solo to Soken's take on the 2000s' disco theme

I don't play any MMO but what i do know is that Final Fantasy always had iconic songs linked to certain bosses. That makes it memorable. Nice playing.

This Is amazing!! You HAVE to do 'Landslide' which Is the Eden Titan theme. That shit roooooocks

You ll loop it forever~ lol

This is also one of the hardest Savage fights in the entire game too, so there is that. It has one mechanic in it The Light Rampart/Steeped phase that just defies the difficulty of pretty much everything else before it.

You're a god !

man they realy made a killer ost with the Eden's Verse trails to bad i did not find anyway to buy the songs .

Yeah buddy

the sound of chains breaking is all i hear

Music theory put to the test right here.

Please do ffxiv Oblivion if you haven't yet!!!

damn, what a popoff

I did this fight over 40 times just to get the music.

Eden Shiva but you didn't leave in time and now there's a heavy risk of rain...

again AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN~~~~~~

Does he do obscure requests? If so I will gladly donate

My guy do you have absolute pitch? (or maybe relative pitch) Either way, freakin skilled man!

Been catching up on these vids and I gotta wonder how the thumbnails are made/chosen because they tend to be very misleading. That said, incredible work as always, especially the improv at the intro!

ptsd

Love this song so much, you nailed it for a first listen as well impressive :D From 7:07 what you did is amazing

The volume of your guitar made this into Guitarist Covers / Tries to play along from Guitarist Reacts. The main shamisen leitmotif not audible for 70% of first play where you miss it for the 1st part - until 6:35 and even the bg music. The lyrics also barely audible which are a HUGE part of the song.
