Soken-sama still cherishes his inner child and his team lets him fool around as much as he wants, I'm truly convinced this is why his music is so awesome. It's the music of his beautiful soul breaking free
I swear I never get tired of his compositions, nor arrangements of already existing FF songs. To think I started to play FFXIV all because I heard "Torn From the Heavens" at a Distant Worlds concert. And the music instantly was noticeable for me on how beautiful it was. He's truly an inspiration, and his songs will forever make my day bright. Happy birthday dear legend, may you have many years of great composing
this whole team, their goofyness, humor and vicinity to the community made this game what it is and seperates it of at least everything i know and experienced (and i am in gaming since atari). thie music in ff14 stands out on another level, not just gaming wise. i cant tell how many times i got stuck somewhere fishing just listening to the music in dravania or thavnair, listening to the ost´s for hours or some trial theme hits me harder than every bosscrit when i get the lyrics or one of the most beautiful community things, listening to a band in one of the capital cities listening to thunderstruck or warriors of the world (i know, i know tos but it rocks!). soken is not just a big part of ff14´s backbone, he´s truly inspiring, not just because of the music per se, he´s inspiring to forge ahed no matter what, even when its cancer. the goofy-god of music!
Ah finally some awesome Soken content! Phookas thank you for this! I believe I speak for many in the community when I say we need compilations of Soken just being Soken. It just makes your day brighter lol. Looking forward to more in the future!
I am still so glad we didn't loose this gem of a person to cancer! I am honestly in tears atm, knowing what could have possibly been. God bless him, this video was hysterical. x'3
"We have had this man for over 49 years now. If anything were to happen to him I would kill everyone in this room then myself." Happy Birthday Soken and wonderful job on the video Phookas!
The longer I played this game, the more I'm convinced they let Soken do whatever he wants. As he deserves.
i wouldn’t doubt it for a moment
You know if he asked to make a otomotone song they'd be like "you know what, fine."
@@Kekira i'd listen to it. the guy loves what he does and it shows in his work.
kind of like how Square Enix just lets YoshiP do his thing as long as it works, YoshiP lets Soken do his thing as long as it works
Soken really is a treasure we can all appreciate. Hope he has a wonderful birthday
Soken & Koji: Just a couple of goofballs being themselves. Gotta love it.
I hope Soken enjoys many more birthdays. 😎🎉

I love Soken so much lol. Not only does he crank out banger tunes, but man knows how to be silly and just have fun. Respect
This man could single handedly play every part in a live action Hildebrand series and it would be the most amazing series ever.
I love Soken. He is a treasure that must be protected forever.
Really cool!!! HAPPY B-DAY SOKEN, TRUE WARTIOR OF LIGHT! ❤

The GOAT
That Pianist is so beautiful and dignified...I'm sure she was thinking "What the Hell dude?? okay, fine, just play the gig...."
"We have had this man for over 49 years now. If anything were to happen to him I would kill everyone in this room then myself." Happy Birthday Soken and wonderful job on the video Phookas!
Thank you 💜!
3:49 rock version of "Away" by The Primals when?? 🥺
That man is a global treasure.
my hero 🤩
He should be protected
I bet there is some cheesey wordplay going on with the forge ahead clip. I only get the head part what do "for" and "gea" mean?
The noodles are called "pho" then the beaker is the "jar" then "head"
Pho jar head
