Yes. As you wish my lord
Bought the ultimate edition
How did you manage to beat the youtube algorithm?
@Barnabas I will definitely pick up this track when it releases!
@@arvinjay336 are tracks available for purchase on an individual basis?
Every Final Fantasy game is essentially Square Enix releasing a new music album that just happens to come with a game. FF games may vary in quality but the soundtrack is always nothing but bangers.
True. Especially when my favourite OST is that of FF XIII
Agreed, say what you want about FFXIII and XV but the music in those games are straight fire.
If a developer ever fucks up a FF ost then we've truly entered the dark times lol.
@@platnumbreaker how about FF12 ost?
@@KateikyoshiDX 12 was alright. Not terrible or anything in a good way. It has that high fantasy feel overall similar to earlier titles
I purchased this game yesterday with low expectations and ended up playing it until really late at night totally hooked and excited. Wow! I’m in shock! I’m 40 and sadly I don’t have too much time to play video games anymore but this reminded me why I loved the FF games years ago.
The soundtrack and voice acting, I’m very happy!
This seems to be a massive return to form and I'm glad. I only got into the series a few years ago so this is the first brand new one to release for me.
Same here , my mind is blown! I’m Also very happy to get some old school final fantasy vibes back for once. I love this game so far, I can’t seem to turn it off.
I'm also 40, and you are gonig to love it if you keep playing, it has a "classic" feeling :) really one of the best FF in a long long time
for real! i expected it to be at least a 3/5 but it was a 10/5!!! the game is so good.
We're around the same age, and I agree totally. Can't justify a PS5 just for this game, but the second a cheaper model comes out, I'm all in!
The melody below The main battle theme around 1:07 is the best part of this music for me.
Late reply but it is the motif from the Eureka Exploration theme from FF14. its also heard in the Eikon battle theme. I love it so much! 😭
@@starsixsix i've only played ff7 remake and this one so idk, but even if its not that unique as it appears to me, this game spins on classic ff themes are marvellous.
I love this part the melody here is so rich I find myself thinking about this from time to time
Grips my heart I always think about the struggle the little brother must have felt here not knowing what was going on when he was fighting his brother in the begining
totally bloodstained vibes
From 0:00 to 0:50 is a musical aliteration nod and homage to the grandmaster Nobuo Uematsu in which Soken uses the motif from Final Fantasy 8 - "Don't Be Afraid" to directly tie anticipation and nostalgia into one bundle..
From 0:52 onward we hear the next titan composer honored Hitoshi Sakimoto, Square's next addition to thier lineup in 1997 with FF Tactics. Soken uses a lietmotif from "Esper Battle" which is from FFXII.
From 1:09 onwards we are brought back to Soken's own work from FFXIV - "Wicked Winds Whisper" which is played in Eureka.
Then from 1:45 onwards we come to the Masashi Hamauzu Era or Squaresoft merging into Square Enix with FF 13 and its leitmotif nod to "Blinded by Light". Soken uses a single string line with a chromatic melody and really leans towards Hamauzu's style with airy notes.
Soken then decides to honor the latest addition to the Final Fantasy mainline series and longtime veteran Yoko Shiomura.
At 2:35 we now hear his leitmotif for "Apocalypse Noctis" from FFXV.
Then subtle overlays including at 3:10 with a Hitoshi Sakimoto nod with the tubular bells.
He juggles back to Yoko Shiomura around 3:27 and were back with Noct and the boys with another reprise of Wicked Winds Whisper.
The song is insane and I do believe I hear a little homage to FFXI as well with the bridge being similar to "Onslaught" in which the snare drums and percussive elements are very attacking and charging in nature. It is composed by another great creative mind, Naoshi Mizuta.
You're hearing things wtf
Excellent breakdown my dude! Very much appreciated especially when you notice these homages in the track like "hang on isn't that..." Ye know? So cheers
@@NotChannel2 Hearing more than we did my dude, he's spot on though.
Notice how actual bangers like FFX-2, FF7, FFX, FF4, FF5, FF13 etc. are nowhere mentioned. I'm sorry but this is orchestrated white noise. The games you've listed have completely mediocre melodies and harmonies. The true OST effort went into FF7 remake.
@@LaJin9292 I love all of Hamauzu's work on FF7R and FF13, Matsueda made one of my favorite sequel soundtrack in the FF franchise with FFX2 and FF4, FF5 and FF6 are among my top games for the franchise. From the Four Fiends theme to Kefkas theme they all are amazing composers. Hamauzu first was brought to my attention with his skilled work on FFX and Unlimited Saga before composing for FF13 and FF7 Remake.
Thanks, man. Time to listen to this on repeat for 10 days.
It really be like that man
you're not alone
At work like ".... Im gonna listen to the battle theme again"
give the ffxiv soundtrack a listen to if you want some more soken, 'torn from the heavens' is one of the iconic themes similar to this one, but 'on blade's edge' is probably my favorite
@@Yojimbob83 ACTUALLY DOING THAT
How people do not like this games music is beyond me, ff fans are strange.
Actually it is the song of FF legacy together FF8,FF12,FF13,FF14 solid
FF fans are like Star Wars fans
people like its music though I've only seen praise fo it, it even won an award
The battle themes are indeed fantastic, but the location and ambient music is pretty mid.
Because it's generic.
None of the music is bad, it's just mostly boring. There's like 3 pieces of music in this game that I can remember after beating this game, and I don't care to go back and repeat listen to any of them. Extremely disappointing soundtrack.
1:08 is where Soken uses the motiff from "Wicked Winds Whisper" from Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood expansion (Eureka, the Forbidden Land - Overmap BGM).
yep, I get PTSD every single fucking time it kicks in
@@SprDrumio64 When Pazuzzu?
In one of the recent alex moukala videos, he says that development for 16 started post heavensward, so it's possible eurkea is actually referencing/based on this battle theme
Thank you for this! its honestly my favorite motiff from this battle theme
Yes! I absolutely got Eureka vibes from this
Soken is truly the one to take over the FF OST Mantle.
Hamauzu too
@@jorgemurilo6456most definitely
@@jorgemurilo6456 only problem is that Hamauzu isn't in SE anymore he left SE and become a freelancer for years now he still work on SE project though mainly CBU1 game while Soken is still in SE
He took it to new levels with FFXIV, imo
Yoko joined the chat 💬
Reminds me of FF8's battle theme a little bit
Many elements of this game, music, the presentation, character development, level design etc all feel heavily inspired by the older final fantasies for ps1 and ps2 and I love it. Feels like ff again
Immediately thought of 8’s theme. Love this new battle theme
Oh yeah, me too. I didn’t even notice until it was pointed out. I’m loving everything about the demo so far, even the slight FPS dips and motion blur is easily looked over.
@@brandonmcduff Yeah!! 😅
Many elements of this game remind me of FF8.
0:33 best part but the entire song is supreme, probably the most beautiful battle theme of the franchise for me now.
Correct.
the leitmotiv comes back for the boss battle and it's so good
Got one 👍
"Bangers all, you can't go wrong"
Bangers hunt in packs
Even in numbers, a banger is a banger still
Masterworks all, you can't go wrong
"Fire works well!"
Ah, sorry, I got my Dragon's Dogma in your Final Fantasy.
Wow this sounds like it pays major tribute to "Don't Be Afraid" from FF8 and that warms all the nostalgic corners of my heart! ❤
100% Agree
VIII always go under the radar in the golden era games because most see it as the poorest overall game of the bunch. But from an OST standpoint, it's 100% my favorite.
@@Josh-mu7qyI love the Junction system a lot.
@@charlie1234500 lol junction the eikons to yourself. I love 8, it's one if my favorite titles minus the card game
It's Soken. If it sounds as it's playing a tribute, it is.
This is pretty much what i expect for a modern FF battle theme, it retains the classic feels in the intro before quickly dive into more "cinematic" feels with how FF combat evolve overtime
Final fantasy has the best battle themes known to man,10/10 bruh
Pokemon and Mario and Luigi would like to know your location
@@SMCwasTaken FF bests them all in the OST realm in every single facet.
@@ZephyrFate yeah ff OST is good but not that good
Gotta be thankful. FF8 battle theme was remade for FF16. Same epicness all over again ❤
"Dont Be Afraid"
1:10 is where I started hearing the Ys8 opening and Spiral of Erebos, and that just made me fall in love with this song even more. I need falcom team and Soken to collab on an official song now!
Holy shit that does sound like Ys.. Jindo and Soken collab would be crazy
OMGGGG YOU'RE FUCKING RIGHT WTFFFF
ofc those who haven't played cold steel wouldn't get that reference but holy shit bruh 🤯🤯🤯
if your'e interested, this part is from ff14 "wicked winds whisper" eureka theme which is made by soken too. it's really good
I KNEW IT SOUNDED FAMILIAR, it really made me hum the main theme for ys 8, that game is my second favorite of all time (Persona 5 and 5 Royal are number 1 for me)
Ys 8's opening wasn't from sound team jdk/Falcom. it was an outsourced song to Yukihiro Jindo
When fighting against goblins and rock turtles sounds you’re going up against a final boss, you know they hit it out of the park with this soundtrack. I’m blown away by this game so far!
*Sigh* has it really been 16 games in?....man the time flies by doesnt it..... ive been playing final fantasy games since i was about 5 years old (first one was 4 on super nes then II) my older brother introduced it to me, id sit down and we'd try to figure out where to go...how to beat bosses, which gear to put on who......and ive been playing every main line game (and spin offs too) ever since, im so happy to see that it made it to 16, it was my dad that rented us final fantasy II on snes back in the day, he's gone now, my mom too she'd rent us mario rpg alot lol...shes gone as well.... but ever since they did that when i play one; old or in this case, a new one... i think of them, and ill keep playin them until im gone too, lets all keep playin these games. *wipes the tears and keeps playing*
This game is absolutely mind blowing , it’s like tactics, and what 15 should have been with dragons dogma
FFXV walked so FFXVI could run as fast as Usian Bolt
They looked at Noctis' Warp Strike and went "that was one of the best ideas they had, let's put it somewhere better"
Then we got Phoenix Shift
@@RasenRendanX ff15 barely crawled lmfao
FF16's FOV is too close. FF15's camera is actually better for the warp-heavy real time action combat they're going for.
@@paulklp8262 I disagree it’s cinematic but the combat needs less of that to concentrate on positions and combo potential. To much cinematic angling and shit would ruin your placement.
"Sic em Torgal!"
I can hear all the legacy of Final Fantasy in this theme.
Soken is a God.
I wish I could relive the experience of playing this game for the first time again. So incredible 🤩
Unbelievably catchy and a banger of a theme. Already stuck in my head and I just started playing!
While people say “newer final fantasy isn’t final fantasy”, I find this to be better than the original combat system. I do like the turn based combat, but real time, open world combat just has a different feeling to it. You have so much more control over the fight and you have to actually be smarter than your enemies, which is what makes newer final fantasy games better and more unique in their own way.
I don't even understand that view point they have for FF. The combat system isn't what makes any of the games a FF game. For me anyway, it's usually the story having some common theme between the series. Most of them have a theme revolving around crystals (not all of course). Or something else tying them together. I think and this is my opinion of course, that a lot of people are blinded by nostalgia and are unwilling to embrace change. If the games stayed the exact same then there's no point of me buying new ones tbh.
the hardest part about making a battle theme is making it catchy and memorable that you never get tired of hearing it. ff16 makes childsplay of this difficulty
Gives you an idea of what final fantasy 8 remake battle theme would sound like as well.
This is the only i slept on went it came and i’m an avid final fantasy player, and it has not disappointed me yet. The story, the battle system and the Aeons or summon fights, ifrit vs titan was the best, i was extremely impressed, once i have finished my video game design degree program, i want Square enix on my project. I actually have some cyberpunk idea with this battle system
Thank you so much, been waiting to hear it in full since the trailers!
Is this the same song from the playstation showcase. It sounds similar but not 100% a like
@@tiberuishunter5390 it is! I think it might sound different since we can hear it better too.
@@naoisme actually found the song for the showcase. It's the Morbol Battle
@@tiberuishunter5390 :) thanks for letting me know!
@@tiberuishunter5390 That song and that showcase convinced me after 2+ years to get a ps5 ngl
Ayyy, It reached one million!
Congratulations Barnabas, this battle theme finally gets more attention than it deserves👍
Never played much Final Fantasy. Don’t know anything about the lore or the games other than 7. The demo for 16 absolutely blew me away!
Welcome to the franchise! Each Final Fantasy as its own story and world. You can totally start with 16. 😌
You're truly doing the lord's work with these. Can't wait for the boss battle theme 🔥
I hear a-lot of Masashi Hamauzu and Nobuo Uematsu vibes from this piece; it sounds so damn good. Especially around this point 1:44, a-lot of Hamauzu feel to it!
During that part I get FF13 vibes 😃
This Game will be so Nostalgic in couple of year.
It sounds a lot like Final Fantasy 8! Especially when Clyfe approaches the opponent with his lighter arm outstretched! Super cool! Like in the intro of FF8!!
Reminiscence of FINAL FANTASY VIII Battle Theme. One of the best FF in the series; often called the Black Sheep of the series.
It's only fitting how VIII has arguably the best OST in the series outside XIV, and now XVI (double the number) is also coming for the crown 👑
Jacob Teague Not just OST, I'd say one of the best story and twist as well.
No one ever call FF8 the black sheep, what are you talking about? xddddd
If there is any black sheep for lots of fans, it always has been XIII, or X-2 xddd
@@gatts1989 Or II. II is also called the black sheep
Soken to Yoshi-P: "How much epic do you want your battle theme to be this time around?"
Yoshi-P: "Yes"
Soken: "YES"
I can't believe this game is already a year ago, can't wait for the PC version to be released so that this game can benefit an even wider audience.
Thank you SQUARENIX for remastering my favorite battle theme from my favorite & first FF game
This theme has got me. The harmonics and notation make this so lively but also dramatic. And yea. In a deadly fantasy world every battle would feel like this. Very fitting.
This one is just like FF8, no wonder it sounds familiar. I can almost hear Quistis' whip
FFXVI is goty👑
"what even is a key?"
Literally soken while winning OST of the year. I love this song so much, it just crawls down the keyboard a note at a time, and if you know, you know.
FF 16 is a masterpiece.
This song is absolutely stuck in my head.
Had tears when I was listening to this and playing the demo 😭 This is going to be a good game.
Oh my gosh is that the XIV Eureka theme at 1:09?? I love this so much...
Sure is! Which itself is a remix of the FATE boss theme.
Edit: it’s more accurately a rearrangement rather than a remix.
It’s up there with FFXIII that have great battles themes.
XIII battle themes are so much better.
@@Yussnan84. no
@@Gabriel-ct1ycyes
One if not the best battle theme ever
The Battle Theme, Hunt Theme and Eikon Battle Theme are perfect renditions of the same melody and beat intensifying in relation to the battle
Definitely the best Final Fantasy battle theme ever
As described in another comment here, 1:43 has a XIII feel to it and that makes my soul happy! Love the sudden change in tone, like you're near the end of the battle and a pre-fanfare is starting to build up before the end.
Clive: Squall can I copy your battle theme?
Squall: Whatever.
I fucking love the piano part. It goes like "dun dun dun" It is so fucking AMAZING. Soken did it again.
This game is a masterpiece
This is my favorite song from FF 16 OST.
It goes from FFVIII to FXII to FXIII and back to FFVIII.
This is really growing on me the more I keep hearing it. It is truly worthy of being a FF battle theme.
Soken: "I've composed a battle theme that will make every single listener feel like they can take on the World. A theme of utter badassery that you will not tire of hearing over your 50 hour playthrough"
Me: 🤩
Don’t be afraid V2 LETS GOOOOOO
1:13 this whole part starting here😭🙏🔥🔥🔥💔💔😭😭🔥🙏💔💔🔥😭😭🙏🙏
The intro of the song reminds me on FF8 Battle Theme a lot. ;)
Great reminiscence.
My God this game is going to be GOTD: game of the decade, at least.
0:34 this motif is incredible, goes so hard
I like how the classic goblin is the first enemy you see.
My new favorite battle theme in the FF series.
Blinded by Light is on second place now.
I got goosebumps!!!!
God this track always follows me whenever I quit my session. So good.
A tribute to the best FF game is always a good thing.
A battle theme worthy of joining the other certified bangers from this franchise.
It’s incredible what Soken archived with the soundtrack, and all of this fighting a Cancer, that’s mindblowing
8 was my first ff game, so when i heard the first few seconds of this song, i was instantly hooked
This is a great piece by Soken. You can really hear the Eureka theme but also a mix of other themes from previous FF games such as Don't Be Afraid from FF8.
One of the BEST battle themes o all FF saga
Multiple great melodies throughout the entire piece
Sic em Torgal. My wounds boy.
Really good piece of music
This was in development around the same time as Stormblood already, so its possible this was first before Eureka. Only Soken knows! =D
1:09
This part made me fall in love! ❤
It's the Eureka field theme from FFXIV
@@akaishi2705I just checked it out! That’s sooo cool! So they stole ideas from their previous entries.
@Riku this game started development before that theme released, so it's possible 14 referenced 16 and not the other way around
@@fffeeelll7745I didn’t think about that! 🤔
You might be right
Imagine that
@@fffeeelll7745 Soken the madlad foreshadowing himself
0:34 is my fav part cuz THAT HITS HARD WHY IS IT SO FIRE?🔥👌👍🤘
3:30 love this motif bro, such a catchy melody
then you will enjoy "Wicked Winds Whisper" ;)
FFVIII all over this battle theme and i love it
a composer who respect fans, past legends like Nobuo Uematsu and final fantasy spirit: its not a surprise won OST of the year
take notes: this is the way to respect a legend franchise
thanks Masayoshi
I’m so hoping to hear this in KH4
Been with the series since the first one, and this battle theme is super nice. Very relistenable. Really nice melody and doesn’t get old hearing it.
i came here for 1:08
First i Listen to this Legend... Now its my son that grow up with these final fantasy bangers... Holy moly, this Generation will got the pure Final Fantasy.. WOW INCREDIBLE❤
Mann i came looking for this right after the demo 😂
DON'T BE AFRAID LETS GO!
みんな聞きたいのはココ
1:43
Almost sounds like the FF8 battle theme.
God. Sometimes I tear up when I hear the violins come in with that uplifting yet nostalgic tone. It’s almost like reminiscing briefly.
This game is so good
Swear listening to this while you fight is something else it makes you feel idk …. Unstoppable…this the second game out my life time that gave me this vibe the first was Metal Gear Rising Revengences
Show yourself ifrit ❤
Am I the only one hearing FFVIII’s Don’t be Afraid in the opening!? ESPECIALLY when that triangle starts.
Omg.... FF IS INDEED BACK!
For everyone this song reminds them of don't be afraid or blinded by light. In my case, this part 1:08 reminds me of Crucified by Army of Lovers
this will be remembered in 20 years.
“I’m a shield of Roseria and I will do my duty”
It's hard to listen to this without "Sic em Torgal!" being yelled constantly
“get em boy”
"All yours, Torgal!"
“Help me, boy!”
"Torgal, kill!"
