Reading all your comments here, on Twitter and on Reddit really made my day, I'm glad you're all enjoying this track! On the subject of FFXIV, Husky and I have one more surprise for you coming later around the end of March. 👀 EDIT: there it is -> ua-cam.com/video/IUCCkHFHf8A/v-deo.html
I doubt that Maker's Ruin or eScape would be in there...but otherwise it sounds REALLY close to a possible midboss theme. Soken's Endboss themes tend to have a different tone, imo, and this doesn't have that jawdropping "we fall" moment from Insatiable that makes it one of the best tracks in the whole series. But as a midboss track? It'd be PERFECT.
I thought this was fantastic overall. My one and only issue with it, is the mumble rapping part. Most every song in FFXIV doesn't have these kind of "random" vocalizations. The vocals are usually full words with a pretty deep meaning to them (even if they are hard to understand). Beyond that, I thought it was really awesome.
@@Zai-kyu to be fair he was recreating the “lyrics” you hear in the teaser that are muffled. I don’t even know if we know the lyrics yet so he just phonetically mimicked them
This definitely. Maybe not in the expansion proper since a lot of that is likely reaching the finalization stages, but I could see this as a pretty hype insert in a .x patch Hildibrand trial, as that piece of side content lends itself easily to show up with the unexpected.
@@zeninspriggan794 The first one is probably original, taking some cues from lines said in Heavensward. The second one, though... I'm not too sure. It might be from Shadowbringers, but I could be wrong.
I replayed the game to see how long it toke, just doing the base story it take about 2 weeks worth of playtime, so now is the prefect time to pick up the game
The fact that this is so different from the official boss theme that was leaked but still incredibly and able to stand on its own right says a lot about you and Husky's creative talents.
2:00 "A smile better suits a hero" "My Dream of a tomorrow in which no child need freeze alone in the snow" "Now, let us see how good a student I truly was" "What's the matter? The witch of Doma will soon be dead" "If you had the strength to take another step, could you do it? Could you save our worlds? "The rain have ceased, and we have been graced with another beautiful day. But you are not here to see it" "Remember...remember us... Remember...that we once lived"
Thr fact the quoted them all is outstanding, its sad remembering these moments, but its moments like these thar make the story an amazing part of the game. Welldone.
The thing that hurt the most about that part for me was, oddly enough, Yotsuyu. The lost cause that we couldn't save. An example of how villains are never truly "Born", but "Made". And for just a moment, she could have redeemed herself... but her happiness was never meant to be...
Alex and Husky: *make this* Soken: Okay. Soken: *cracks fingers* Soken: Time to flex. Soken: *pumps as much epic as possible into the full trailer theme*
Even if this isn’t anything like the real theme, I’m still going to be playing this for years. I love that main riff so much, and you guys just added on to it.
In college Music Theory, my class was tasked with constructing a sonata based on basic, Classical Music principles. It took an entire semester. Meanwhile, here's you, constructing a non-formulaic masterpiece that manages to capture and emblematize every single motif of the Final Fantasy franchise as well as the individual themes of FF14. Good God.
i listened to this on loop during TA and Queen prog in DR savage the other night and boy did it make the whole thing so much more exciting and enjoyable!
Perfect example as to why video game OSTs are my preferred music to listen to. People like these two GLORIOUS artists. When the vocals hit I legitimately had goosebumps. Grade-freakin-A work
Amazing this about this vs. the actual Endwalker dungeon boss theme is that this one sounds like a "celebration" of the Endwalker music we've already heard (and it is), but the actual one is going for an entirely different emotion. The energy from the actual one is so much stronger/darker and i love it. I thought that after hearing this, the actual would feel like the "fake one", but now this one feels like a sort of "Revenge Twofold" version of the real version we got and that's amazing.
@@Person1................68 The little Omega thats running around with Alpha is the actual Omega and has sentience if you read the Tales from the Shadows shortstories on the website. It's never explicitly stated but they used Omega's technology to traverse the rift to transport the Tower to the First on top of Alexander's time travel. That's why The Twinning has eScape mixed into its dungeon track.
I'm having so many nostalgic and emotionally resonant Vibes going on this feels like the combination of everything that we've done and built up throughout the whole entire start of the game up until we are now this is very fitting also wanted to say I've been a fan of you guys both of you for a long time and you both inspired me to get better at composing my own stuff keep up the great work and I cannot thank you guys enough looking forward to more stuff in the future
4 months ago, I was passing by and found this piece of art until now ??? It's so damn perfect ! I'll enjoy fighting extreme bosses with this song , thank u !!
i absolutely cannot get over how amazing your voice sounds in this, i hadn't heard of husky before i put this on in the background and figured he was a professional singer from how good it was, then i tab back in and it's you, genuinely incredible.
Over the past couple of years my family has experienced loss from the loss of my grandfather and grandmother just recently my grandmother to my wife losing her uncle who was like an uncle to me and we all my family including my daughters had caught covid-19 after listening to your song it is true that even life has its patches of sorrow but during that biuld that you had put towards the end of the song inspired me to keep fighting it even brought me to tears I know you may never read this or even care that I love your song and I hope you two continue to collab with each other keep inspiring guys
the way you put in those choral vocals from torn from the heavens right before the bridge is so amazing omg... it really gives the feel of being the conclusion of the entire ffxiv saga and gave me chills ahhh
That's why I love this game and its community... 2021 has been hard for me....I've lost a lot of family and the people in the game are helping me to overcome my sadness....
I think it's a little ~too~ similar. Knowing Soken, it's likely the theme would be tweaked enough to blend the Endwalker motif through it in small bursts, similar to the themes that we already have. THAT SAID... This is wonderful and I love it. You two definitely need to collab more often.
In hindsight, I kinda what was going through Soken's head when listening to this and realizing Hydaelyn's theme was in it "Oh boy these dudes have NO idea what's coming their way"
I had literally been spamming this theme from your other video nonstop this morning till this popped out from the blue! You and Husky are amazing and I'm excited for more collabs from you both! Keep up the amazing work!
Glad to see you two talented people doing this collab; hopefully more to come! Thanks for all the hard work, I know this stuff can be really time consuming.
Do you think they can just buy a song and slap it on the raid? The music is built around the raid the story and theme. This is a "what if" we don't even know what badassry is in endwalker and what story it will entail. Remember Emet Selch final dungeon music? The background music and the voice acting were saying a story.its not just some nice sounding tune rather a living breathing story. What u should be saying is square enjx should hire this guy. Not buy music.
It would be amazing if they decided to use this as the boss theme. I can just imagine the final boss with a theme as epic as this one... Would add to the already inevitable goosebumps.
That was a great song you guys did! Truly awesome. It has some elements of FFX in it too especially the beginning and ending. Again what an great theme
Reading all your comments here, on Twitter and on Reddit really made my day, I'm glad you're all enjoying this track!

Awesome track, you guys. Just beautiful! Can't wait for the next surprise!
But it is the end of March! I’ll look forward to the new track on my desk tomorrow morning, thanks. This track is bananas by the way.
Soken should take this track for the boss encounter in 6.0
A Soken surprise?
Release this on spotifyyyyyy
Soken: "Now I have to redo the Endwalker boss theme."
lol this what I thought too
(|Yes, please|)
yes good

I'm gonna slap the shit outta Hades to this music!
Don't be surprised if Square Enix calls you up soon to discuss adding this into the game.
Y'all hit a goddamn homerun.
This does sound like it could be boss music.

When you're so excited for End Walker that you make your own boss theme.
Shows how much you've studied FF music because this could legit be in FF XIV lol, great work to both of you
Holy moly this is amazing!!! ♥
LB 3! GO!!!!!!!!
Oh Lollia ! Your voice with them on this music please 😁
what, lollia likes ff14?
Lollia already have a character in ffxiv
Would love to hear you cover some ff songs as well!
Surprised this wasn’t a sponsored video because I instantly went and downloaded FFXIV 😂
Be aware that even tho FF14 is a great and epic adventure - you WILL be spending your time shovling cowdung for the first dozens of hours !
I replayed the game to see how long it toke, just doing the base story it take about 2 weeks worth of playtime, so now is the prefect time to pick up the game
And it made you laugh tears?
The first bit can be really hard to get through! But the story makes up for it, and the endgame boss fights are super fun
You're in for a treat. Just rush the mediocre base game, the expansions are all amazing.
Is this much talent in one video even legal?
Palpatine: “I will make it legal.”
i see you everywhere lol
you wrote hard work and dedication wrong
Just add a dash of Soken to the Jam session and you have the Musical triad.
You again my dude
Wait a moment. Where is your moustache?
The fact that this is so different from the official boss theme that was leaked but still incredibly and able to stand on its own right says a lot about you and Husky's creative talents.

While we're at the final week of Endwalker, I still wish this song was actually in the game. Such a jam!
Even if this isn’t anything like the real theme, I’m still going to be playing this for years. I love that main riff so much, and you guys just added on to it.
Considering they got one of the Alexander refrains in this version probably not going to be close but still good

Good God.
Good to see you’re putting it together. Education 10%, experience 90%
Foundations are good.
I would say...it's so much easier to work on a theme you find yourself interested in. Not being pushed towards : P
It is 100% formulaic. That’s the best part
a whole one man choir we love him
The look on his face when he busted out long fall. He knew what he was doing haha
When you thought the song couldn’t get better but Alex slips in Chicken Fingers
They're ready to fry.
I'll bring the beef tacos.
No feeding them to the big fat catto
A delicious meal for your ears.
The chicken tenders, come ready to fry. Prepare your zipper, and wave your thigh.
I was NOT expecting an eScape/Torn From The Heavens mashup!!! I'm SHOOK
SAME
a full track?!?!
my life is now complete
Honestly, this is one of my favorite songs you’ve put out. Kudos to both you and Husky.
I've had this on repeat for hours while painting my house. You two are insanely amazing.
Can we please start a petition to Yoshida P to get this as an official track in the Endwalkers OST. This damn well deserves it
i listened to this on loop during TA and Queen prog in DR savage the other night and boy did it make the whole thing so much more exciting and enjoyable!
The fact that you made this with just some instruments, a computer, and some absolute skill makes me think "hey maybe I could do that"
It’s so fun feeling inspired by artists. Alex / Husky are so great here.
you can!
I honestly dont expect Endwalker Battle theme to sound much different from this banger. Gz Alex!
I can already see myself screwing up the mechanics to this. Perfect.
and that phase transition, oh my halone
Oooo I got them shivers when the vocals came, and it amplified with the guitars!!
Perfect example as to why video game OSTs are my preferred music to listen to. People like these two GLORIOUS artists. When the vocals hit I legitimately had goosebumps. Grade-freakin-A work

1:23 thru 1:36
That Omega nod was incredibly hype. Thank you for being a catalyst for Endwalker excitement.
You say "Imagined", I say "Realized". I'll totally be playing this on loop for some grinding in FFXIV.
I think I've replayed this masterpiece a bajillion times already
and I'm not willing to stop
Chills down my spine when Alex started singing
I have had this on loop for majority of the day
Now I want Omega to return in Endwalker and help us fight some gods
That doesn't make any sense.
It's ok, sometimes you just gotta bust out eScape vocals for fun

The portraits of the deceased characters hit me in exactly the emotional spot I did not ask for. Well done.
This cured the “Monday Morning” I’m sure a lot of us were feeling. Awesome work both of you.

You gotta love what people with passion and talent can create! Thanks for this piece!
I think it's a little ~too~ similar. Knowing Soken, it's likely the theme would be tweaked enough to blend the Endwalker motif through it in small bursts, similar to the themes that we already have.
THAT SAID... This is wonderful and I love it. You two definitely need to collab more often.

"Oh boy these dudes have NO idea what's coming their way"
Absolutely love the arrangement here, the slow buildup to a grand venture of hardship in a tense battle! Nice vocal work Alex! This track is amazing!
"For those you've lost, for those you could yet save."
