I really love when games use those leitmotifs of main themes in their final bosses themes as in the minute 6:12. It's so good. Some other games that do the same with their final bosses are the Sonic series (some of them as Unleashed or Colors, not all), Bravely Default, Tales of Xillia 2, Undertale, and surely a lot more of games that I don't remember rn and haven't played probably.
Stopped playing through Stormblood due to time commitments. Always wondered what it would take to pull me back into the game... Rest assured, it's the music. It's ALWAYS the music!
One brings shadow, one brings light Two-toned echoes tumbling through time Threescore wasted, ten cast aside Four-fold knowing, no end in sight One brings shadow, one brings light One dark future no one survives On their shadows, away we fly The road that we walk Is lost in the flood Here proud angels bathe in Their wages of blood At this, the world’s end, do we cast off tomorrow One brings shadow, one brings light To this riddle all souls are tied Brief our moments, brazen and bright Forged in fury, tempered in ice Hindmost devils, early to rise Sing come twilight, sleep when they die Heaven’s banquet leavened with lies Sating honor, envy, and pride One brings shadow, one brings light Run from the light Authors of our fates Orchestrate our fall from grace Poorest players on the stage Our defiance drives us straight to the edge A reflection in the glass Recollections of our past Swift as darkness, cold as ash Far beyond this dream of paradise lost Home Riding home Dying hope Hold onto hope… Ohhh… Home Riding home Home, riding home Hope, finding hope… Ohhh… One brings shadow, one brings light One more chapter we’ve yet to write Want for nothing, nothing denied Wand’ring ended, futures aligned One brings shadow, one brings light One brings shadow, one brings light You are the light We fall We fall We fall We fall unto the end One world’s end Our world’s end Our end The End
I love that final part (after the Active Time Maneuver). I was playing WHM for my first clear and that last part just felt like the culmination of everything we had been put through. The music swelled, the darkness was creeping in, and someone in the chat just typed "BURN EVERY CD YOU HAVE!" and I swear I've never played more efficiently than in those final seconds. A+ work Square Enix.

The music is 50% of the reason I play this game and I usually mute the music in all mmos I play. They absolutely blew me away with Shadowbringers soundtrack.
Just finished MSQ like 5 or so days ago. And BY THE TWELVE this is amazing. The story is great, the actions are great, the fights are great and the music is FIRE.
Listen, phase 1 is basically SHB main theme.... I just hope the mega mount at the end of expac has its song as that and phase 2 is Hades mount song. pls pls pls. I like both. ; w ;
I love love LOVE the intro. It plays a good part in "how did we beat such a powerful enemy and we have so far to go" Well, normally the 8 person raid canonically is just you. This is making the 7 others actual part of the lore.
...Would it be weird if there was an Ascian/pre-sundering person named Satan...? Not quite sure about the naming conventions for those guys - so far, they are more refered to by their “Titles”.
Heavens, the fight may be one of the easier final bosses of this game (as others said, I couldn't yet, understandably enough), but I bet the sheer catharsis of finally, *finally* being able to take down Solus/Emet Selch/Hades after the entire game of him wreaking havoc from the background (and backstory) is gonna sweeten the deal so much...
He was an ass yea but in this expansion you understand that what he was doing it was to bring back his loved ones so I don't. Think emet was a bad guy in the end
@@Akira-vx3uo you cant spoil sth to me becouse i have done evrything in the first week of expansion but uuh no dont compare the ascians with emet lahabrea wasnt like that he was pure evil
@@GiorgosAigio96 lol I wasn't disagreeing with you about this theme, I was simply adding that the first final bosses have been increasingly good and for different reasons. Thordan because climactic battle vs tyrant to free his people, Shinryu because of all the animosity for Zenos that built up over the leveling experience, and now this one because of all the pure emotion involved in the story.
@@jeffreymundorff6397 Thordans fight had some insane visuals but the Twelve Knights felt so wasted. However the last % where he was swinging his sword aimlessly was amazing,shown how worn out he was and how strong we had become and IMO Zenos merging with a Primal was like throwing yourself in a fire,we are the eikon slayer and he knows it,tho that fight was amazing specially when the arena breaks and u bump on another one,tho they are definitely improving when it comes to finale battles of each expansion,idk how 6.0 will top the Shadowbringers story haha
So I finished it today. I creamed my pants during this fight. It is just perfect... I have not felt such awesomeness since Nidhogg. Well, since Innocence who was just glorious but it is Shadowbringers too, so eh. Best expansion, topping even Heavensward. They really bounced from the disappointment that was Stormblood (except for Azim Steppe, the whole zone and its story was the best thing in SB)
Knights of the round > Ultima > this = shinryu in terms of final release bosses for me, but i liked them all overall, knights was just really epic in all aspects, heavensward story in general was also, imo the best so far.
Having being emotionally invested in every release of ffxiv so far, this guy tops them all for me. And shinryu was a wonderful fight, though Knights tops it by a little. Ultima was awesome but i can't get hype for it anymore, which is sad.
So wait, was this guy Solus? I'm not this far yet. If it's Solus, his name was Hades instead of Emet-Selch? But... but Solus had the upside-down Zalera emblem so he should be Emet-Selch. I can't stand these surprise inconsistencies! Nice to see some more FFIX references though with a Hades boss, I like how his staff looks a lot like Necron, Necron would totally be a Zodiark adherent. I was worried nearly this entire game was going to be a long string of FFIII references.
Emet-Selch, Elidibus, Lahabrea etc aren't names. These are the ranks the Ascians have according to Solus. But yes Solus is Hades. There is no inconsistency if you talk to Solus and watch the cutscenes
Too bad the XIV version doesn’t give pumice. Why did Hades(IX) become a vendor after getting his ass kicked? Did he get bored of his chair and started to think he should change his occupation from keeper of the underworld(?) - to peddler?
I just finished the story and holy shit. This expansion was amazing.
Best Final Fantasy story since ffx! Great. Goty even if an expansion
Best part is it's not over yet
5 more patches LES GO BOIS!
IMO, Heavensward story was better, but this one is right behind it.

One brings shadow, one brings light
Two-toned echoes tumbling through time
Threescore wasted, ten cast aside
Four-fold knowing, no end in sight
One brings shadow, one brings light
One dark future no one survives
On their shadows, away we fly
The road that we walk
Is lost in the flood
Here proud angels bathe in
Their wages of blood
At this, the world’s end, do we cast off tomorrow
One brings shadow, one brings light
To this riddle all souls are tied
Brief our moments, brazen and bright
Forged in fury, tempered in ice
Hindmost devils, early to rise
Sing come twilight, sleep when they die
Heaven’s banquet leavened with lies
Sating honor, envy, and pride
One brings shadow, one brings light
Run from the light
Authors of our fates
Orchestrate our fall from grace
Poorest players on the stage
Our defiance drives us straight to the edge
A reflection in the glass
Recollections of our past
Swift as darkness, cold as ash
Far beyond this dream of paradise lost
Home
Riding home
Dying hope
Hold onto hope… Ohhh…
Home
Riding home
Home, riding home
Hope, finding hope… Ohhh…
One brings shadow, one brings light
One more chapter we’ve yet to write
Want for nothing, nothing denied
Wand’ring ended, futures aligned
One brings shadow, one brings light
One brings shadow, one brings light
You are the light
We fall
We fall
We fall
We fall unto the end
One world’s end
Our world’s end
Our end
The End
Forgot the last line: I am shadow, I am the Light.
I think this song is great thematically for Hades vs Warrior of Light. Phase 1 especially.
When the lyrics are perfect ....
I think it’s “two doomed echos” instead of two toned.
@@tuck295q hm not rly, you can rly hear the T on toned

I like how the second phase sounds like the constant back and forth between Light and Dark that's happening in game
Absolutely epic my favorite Expansion boss and theme so far
Every day my roulettes don't draw the Twinning or the Dying Gasp is a sad day.
I'll swap you, every day my Expert roulette has been the twinning. I haven't seen the other two since the first time i did them.
I don't know man, Dying Gasp streses me out lol
Dear lord no. It's like Shinryu all over again with nubs dying left and right :')
Honestly all of the expert dungeons this time are crazy good, unlike 3.0 (Alwaysreap) or 4.0 (kugane castle).
@@MrBas-cu7dt I love how easily 5.0's bosses prey on our experience. Hades with his fake towers and Titan with the Landslides.
God I was looking forever for this
As the party i was in was about to finish the fight i managed to shout 'THE LIGHT CASTS YOU OUT'
felt good
For whom weeps the storm,
Her tears on our skin
The days of our years gone,
Our souls soaked in sin
These memories ache with the weight of tomorrow
誰が為に嵐は泣くのか
その雫は我らの肌を伝う
長く生きてきて
魂に罪が滲み込んでいる
明日の重みで今が痛む
Who fights?
Who flies?
Who falls?
誰が戦い
誰が逃げ
誰が倒れる？
Stand tall, oo-oooo...h, my friend.
May all of the dark lost inside you find light again
In time, tumbling, turning, we seek amends
Eternal winds to the land, we send
Our journey will never end
堂々と立つ おお 我が友よ
あなたの中で失われた闇の全てが再び光を見つけますように
やがて 転がり 変わり 我らは償いを求める
悠久の風をかの地へ 届けよう
我らの旅は終わらない
From those who've fallen, to those who rise
A prayer that keeps us ever by your side
An undying promise that we just might,
carry on in a song
倒れた者達から立ち上がる者達へ
祈り 我らをいつもあなたのそばに置いてくれる
不滅の約束 我らがきっと歌い続ける
Pray don't forget us, your bygone kin
With one world's end, does a new begin
And should our souls scatter unto the wind
Still we shall live on
我らを覚えていますように 愛するあの日の家族よ
一つの世界の終わりと共に 新たな世界が始まる
そして我らの魂は風に散るべきか
それでも我らは生き続ける
Stand tall, oo-oooo...h, my friend
May all of the dark deep inside you find light again
This time, tumbling, turning we make amends
Eternal winds to the land, I send
Here to lift us then we won't end
堂々と立つ おお 我が友よ
あなたの心の奥深く失われた闇の全てが再び光を見つけられますように
今度は 転がり 変わり 我らは償いをしよう
悠久の風をかの地へ 届けよう
我らはここに立ち上がる 終わることなどない
長い長いあいだ 待ち続けてきた この曲がフルで聴ける この時を！
Oh wow, this is very cool. The music is absolute fire.
Now, as awesome as a boss theme this is, I know that in a couple expansions, I want to come back as a level 100 and solo this boss
I might not be the popular opinion here but, when the EX mount comes out I hope it has the phase 1 theme 😊.
that would be freaking awsome
I will kill someone if there isn't at least A mount with that theme
I would prefer the phase 2 :(
It never does
@@quentinboys169 Same.
Only version of this song on UA-cam.
An amazing final boss for an amazing expansion.
Dude you are the only person on UA-cam with this song. Fuck yeah!!!!
The music is 50% of the reason I play this game and I usually mute the music in all mmos I play.

6:37 best part
Ainz Owl Gown is the final boss cool
Ainz is rocking his Overlord X look lol.
(Gotta see how far the series gets now)
This music is amazing
Waiting until the second phase becomes available to just jam to :sunglasses:
you mean 1st phase right?
I fought this guy first time last night, his music has a slight tinge of the Home Depot music
7:34 timestamp for great part
The Extreme version in 5.1 is going to be hell, isn't it.
i would be upset if it wouldn't be hell.
SE do your WORST!
It had better be.
damn i dont think ive ever felt this kinda way about game music before
I just noticed that the staff has an image of zodiark on it
I love love LOVE the intro. It plays a good part in "how did we beat such a powerful enemy and we have so far to go" Well, normally the 8 person raid canonically is just you. This is making the 7 others actual part of the lore.
Has anyone found a link to this second stage theme without spoilers (or a video, really)?
just finished the expansion and im sitting here sad as heck
3:16 and 7:54 good god
Thx for video
...Would it be weird if there was an Ascian/pre-sundering person named Satan...? Not quite sure about the naming conventions for those guys - so far, they are more refered to by their “Titles”.

It’s on the easier side but i means ex is gonna be insane
He was an ass yea but in this expansion you understand that what he was doing it was to bring back his loved ones so I don't. Think emet was a bad guy in the end
@@leskale Without spoiling too much, it sheds more light onto the Ascians than we knew before, and shows the struggle isn't so black and white at all.
@@Akira-vx3uo you cant spoil sth to me becouse i have done evrything in the first week of expansion but uuh no dont compare the ascians with emet lahabrea wasnt like that he was pure evil
@@leskale Oh Lahabrea was quite the arse about it, for sure. But the Ascians in general, I mean...
Based on overall experience i say this was my fav final fight. Followed by Shinryu and then Thordan.
So what you're saying is that every expansions initial final boss is better than the one who came before.
@@jeffreymundorff6397 i dont take into consideration the row of which each expansion released however /shrug

What if you wanted to end the world
But then the Warrior Of Darkness said 6:12
YOU ATE ALL MY BEANS!? *laser noises*
Is the second part to this an orchestral version of We Fall, or an entirely different song?
So I finished it today. I creamed my pants during this fight. It is just perfect... I have not felt such awesomeness since Nidhogg. Well, since Innocence who was just glorious but it is Shadowbringers too, so eh.

Little sun :)
Goty over Sekiro. Even though its an expansion is bigger and better than all games in 2019 thus far.
There are ads in the middle of the vid…..
What's the name of the phase 1 theme? I'm trying to find it and can't.
Huh it’s basically the shadowbringers theme
more importantly what’s the name of the second phase!!??
@@viisovari4544 Well it is but its vastly different.
That smn hotbar tho.
Oh you play SMN. How do you feel about the new SMN 5.0?
New SMN is amazing fam, Phoenix is busted
Here is the link
Best Final Fight in FFXIV. I Love it.
Hades from Final Fantasy IX
Yes yes
The second phase theme is better than the first. fite me
Seeing as this is 80 did ystola die? My friend Saïd she did i need to know cuz he aint telling anything else
if you're fine with spoilers, she survives.
She lives
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooope
She got better
Y'all ain't supposed to give spoilers even if people ask for them
Wtf it just got released!!!
Knights of the round > Ultima > this = shinryu in terms of final release bosses for me, but i liked them all overall, knights was just really epic in all aspects, heavensward story in general was also, imo the best so far.
heavensward was amazing! cant wait for ng+
Heavensward was definitely more better and more memorable than stormblood and ARR storylines.

He is Emet-Selch. Thing is, *that* wasn't his real name either.
@@ezekielbaskerville2710 I was thinking maybe Hades was like the name they use when he forms a super Ascian-Prime with himself at the forefront?
Since he went all "let us cast our masks aside and fight in our true form" in the cutscene before I assumed he was lying with both names.
Emet-Selch, Elidibus, Lahabrea etc aren't names. These are the ranks the Ascians have according to Solus. But yes Solus is Hades. There is no inconsistency if you talk to Solus and watch the cutscenes
The expansion isn't even (supposed to be) out yet until tomorrow, how was I supposed to know that?
Hades from FFIX was better
Too bad the XIV version doesn’t give pumice. Why did Hades(IX) become a vendor after getting his ass kicked? Did he get bored of his chair and started to think he should change his occupation from keeper of the underworld(?) - to peddler?
if prefer the FFXI Hades. Shame his presence in the story was so short.
First phase music seems really cheesy to me and doesn't really look that intimidating but the second phase both looks and sounds really awesome.
Ewww. no.
