*This scene cannot be skipped.*
_screams internally_
*_Such devastation! This was not my intention!_*
@@toujounozomi3126 that is The Porta Decumana unfortunately... the one you wish you got when MSQ rouletting.
@@samuellove9619 The Porta Decumana used to be the last part of The Praetorium.
It was... Much longer, before the overhaul. And the Ultima Weapon was practically a joke compared to the "at least fights back" current version.
(primal phases are jebaits, don't go running around looking for radiant plume safespots like I did after getting it in main scenario roulette right after uwu prog)
To the point that "Thunderer", despite its first appearance being in old Praetorium, is now associated with Behemoth and/or _Twintania_ for many.
Admittedly, that may be more because of just how much a difficulty spike Twintania is, coupled with how it's the first boss of an ultimate. (DSR I'd count as having a zeroth boss, but that's its own thing.)
The reason Square doesn't have an Orchestrion Roll for this track is because this track will be embedded in your head once you're done with the game.
Garlemald shared fate unlocks this as a roll
@@Aldysseus 10 years later LMAO
Fun fact: On the official soundtrack, they extend this theme to almost 20 minutes long. If you missed most of this song during your playthrough, you'll definitely get your fill in the soundtrack.
The worst thing Square Enix has ever done was not giving this song an Orchestrion roll
They did give it a beautiful remix though. (The Burn)
And then I could troll my FC by playing it in the FC house and giving them anxiety
This one, Gangos, and Ardbert's theme are three I *really* wish had Orchestrion rolls.
And another beautiful remix (Mare Lamentorum) in Endwalker
@@yolteotlixtli1557 whaaaat, how did I notice lol, what part?
5:44 That piano part in the end of the song often send shiver down my spines.
It's why I look forward to my MSQ roulette when we get to Nero and it kicks in
It's just as good, if not better, in The Burn (about 1:30 into the ost). Soken must've seen your comment after all these years :P
Came to this ost just for that part
The entire buildup of the song is worth it for that bit alone.
so annoying when it's cut when nero fights it's so good
W-what. My desensitization to this dungeon has made me not notice the absolute mind blowing quality of this song.
Back during my time playing FFXIV, anytime i would go into this dungeon i would type in chat "If you are the type of player that has BGM turned off, i would highly suggest you turn it on for this dungeon"
@@darknova1916 I pretty much always have BGM music turned on for this game. Played WoW for over 10 years and don't know a single song piece from that game. I played back when Stormblood came out and got to 70 without really listening to the music either. Went back to WoW for about 2-3 years.
I came back recently since WoW kinda sucks now. I started from scratch. I gotta say the game is SO MUCH BETTER with the music on. Like the music is like half the reason I enjoy these fights sometimes. Just did T1 to T13 in Coils of Bahamut on MINE and finished MINE progression of the HW trials (omg Nidhogg and Thordan music -.-). If you do these fights without the music you are literally committing the worst crimes ever.
I know right? I feel like I didn't pay attention to it until I was listening to the OST and going "wait, what's this song??"...imagine my surprise. Now I pay a lot closer attention in MSQ roulette.
This song is now also an archive of how Prae use to be. I will... Miss it honestly.
Look how they Massacred my boy..... :(
@@kaltadesmon jfc some people are impossible to please. its obv my opinion here but i think they made it WAY better. it's still quicker, but the fights are just better. The only thing you 'miss' is probably the chance to watch Netflix and pay zero attention to the dungeon. Prae was a hot mess, it's finally way better, and here people are saying they massacred their boy...
@@Hirotoro4692 lmao imagine being big mad over a two month old comment. go touch some grass and let other's have opinions too. 🤡
@@Hirotoro4692 Honestly the old one was terrible, in my first time I barely did anything because everyone was skiping enemy or melting boss.
@@Hirotoro4692 Yeah, I HATED old Prae, it was a 60% watching cutscenes, 30% running and 10% actually fighting something. And still that fighting was boring. Huge improvement.
2:15
i love this part of the piano
The fact that this has both pieces of "Answers" and the Scions' Theme, as well as harpsichord to remind us that the Ascians are behind it all? Damn I know we hear it all the time in game doing our MS roulettes but I will never not appreciate this track
Many thanks to the seven kind strangers who run through this dungeon with me. I got caught in cut-scenes all the way and never get to help the fight. They said no worries and enjoy your cut-scenes. How lovely!
Wish I had a group like that. Mines told just to watch the cutscenes at the inn
Oof. Also had a great group the first time I ran this.
Otherwise, if you're a first timer, be ready or get left behind by veterans!
@@ThreeG456
What idiots.
It honestly ruins the story feeling, I’d never do that.
Huh I had a fine first experience due to enforced cutscenes but maybe it’s because I’m a healer. I’m used to locking onto the tank and following that tank into the deep hole in any dungeon so I keep up.
I met my first in game friends through Prae back when the cutscenes were skippable and I chose to watch them. They waited for me at the end to finish the cutscenes and asked how I was finding the story. Then I joined their FC! :D
They really nail the dramatic tension in this epical final dungeon theme. It really gets the blood going while playing the game!
In especially love when the chanting starts. Although most runs, you won't get that as people tend to rush the dungeon. :(
Did you do the endwalker?
4:45, with the gentle background and vocals....I swear I can never get enough of it. Every time I hear it I just close my eyes.
same! that part needs to be a song of it'S own. its just so beautiful....
it's sorta magey, which is something I appreciate
that part gives me a chill down my spine. Im a aphmau fan, so it reminds me of the terrible things that the demon warlock made Aphmau and her friends go through
Yes, I thought it was Nero Tol Scaeva's theme because the part was played during his speech before the fight.
It's actually a remix of the Hauke Manor intro melody if I'm not mistaken.
Kinda wish they'd rebalance this place as a 4 man party dungeon, so you could take your best pals and actually experience the zone, instead of "gotta go fast" parties.
Cameron Abad YES! I went through this when it first came out, and people still wouldnt watch the awesome cutscenes :(
Chef Excellence uh you can't skip the cutscenes
The comments you're replying to are 2 years old.
You could up until like the most recent patch I believe, both the skipping and the forced watching have brought there own issues unfortunately
Wtb skippable cutscenes with an 8/8 vote and everyone having been there before.
I have zero regrets running through Meridanum and this dungeons with five friends. Got to watch all cutscenes and it's worth the experience, especially as a FF game.
+Theatricbandit I wish I had 5 friends, a few days after launch I was in there with iL70 gear farmers on the duty finder...
+Mekkah Dee That's really unfortunate... :/ I'm thankful to have friends that warned me about pugging these dungeons and ran it with me.
I've encountered some of those farmers/botters, they're the worst.
The first time I played this, I was with a full team of farmers, and when they saw i never made this, they were like "shit, this one is gonna annoy us", so rude :/
I never saw any of the cutscenes...
You are so freaking lucky!!!! I hate you (nah, I don't hate you, I just envy you XD )
Just did my first Praetorium run ever, and even though at this point all the mechanics can be skipped by burning through all the bosses, it felt really epic and I think this song contributed a lot. Awesome way to send off base ARR.
So for those unaware you can now get the Penitus Orchestrion Roll from Rank 3 in Shared Fates for the 3rd Endwalker Zone. It was only added in one of the more recent patches (6.2 or 6.3)
This song is the only thing that carries and justifies the whole Praetorium for me, every time.
Oh no big deal. Only like.. the best game soundtrack ever.
Piano line at 2:43 and particularly that shift at 3:10 is my favorite.
4:36 I always attributed this as Nero's theme, because for some reason it feels explicitly timed to play for his cutscene. However, it's just been here the entire time, the many cutscenes just interrupt it.
The timing almost always works out to be perfectly set when I run this so it plays right when his cutscene goes - it almost feels intentionally done, and it fits super well with your meeting with him. Glad I'm not the only one, haha.
I legitimately typed "Nero's theme" expecting this to show up.
This song is so damn epic. I LOVE playing that dungeon
That musical climax at the end really gives you that 'fuck yeah' feeling.
That WHM's max HP gives me anxiety
I can agree with that as a WHM main. My goodness!
That WHM's max HP makes ne think they are weird
Remember the good old days when you could watch the cut-scenes of Praetorium? Me neither!!
Yeah was guna say, not sure that ever happened.
Mekkah Dee I could. And it was awesome. I've asked my party on the start to let my brother and I watch the cut-scenes, and they were kind enough to let us do it. And it was worthy. Amazing story for an MMO.
Anyway, you can re-watch them at your Inn, but it's not the same thing. If it's your first time, and you care a little bit about lore, then try to watch them.
The Destroyer I got lucky, when I first did Praetorium I was in a full FC group, so I got to fully enjoy the entire dungeon.
The Destroyer When I did it I kept getting locked out of boss battles. In the end I had to watch some at the inn, which kinda ruined it.
The Destroyer The cutscenes are in the Journal. They're just not all in the same section of the Inn Journal, so it takes some searching around. I swear they're all there! It's just a pain in the arse to get to all of them. :
That last part is so powerful it gives me life. Best song in the game, period.
No contest at all, this track defines FFXIV outside the main theme.
Did this back before Heavensward existed. It was a blast, Square Enix really got the vibe for a final dungeon that was tough but not overly hard. And ofc the battle with Ultima at the end was simply epic.
2:14 Oh damn. That got me hooked
Same
+sGNyre Almost reminds me a little of the main theme for Oblivion (the Tom Cruise film), which incidentally, I also liked a lot. Shame it never got any continuation though.
sGNyre My favourite part too! So beautiful!
Dramatic relaxing piano with background strings + Torn From the Heavens and The Maker's Ruin and that part at the middle of the video = amazing.
I love it when soundtracks go back to the main theme of the game. Always gives me goosebumps.
I've always loved the music in this instance. Always makes me smile and gives me goosebumps in certain places.
This is arguably my favorite song of the game.
How do you like the music for The Burn?
Same
Mine too!
Man....i wish I could find people who wouldn't rush this. Killed the entire end game of ARR for me. I heard this before - when I finally got to it...my heart was pounding. Could not wait to get to this point in the game. And it was beaten in about 25 minutes. Couldn't enjoy the finale at all.
What do you mean? With the mandatory cutscenes, it’s 50m GUARANTEED and it’s annoying as all hell
@@alexjin3580 In the past, these cutscenes were skippable. It was patched/changed.
I think this is the first time you hear the leimotif for The Makers Ruin, which is our theme. I think this track does a good job of showing the competing strength of the Garlean Empire and your rag tag geoup of adventurers. Then it resolves into the full Makers Ruin at Ultima Weapon which is really cool.
The music in this zone (this+ultima) is some of the best I have ever heard in a video game.
no matter how many times i listen to this, i always get chills at 4:46
I saw a bard do repelling shot, I am happy.
I hope they make a Praetorium Hard Mode, I hope it's the hardest dungeon in the game, and I hope they play this theme on volume 11
They basically made it Praetorium easy mode now, with the separation of the parts of the dungeon + bosses
WHM called "Who's Healing" LOL I love that! :D
Lmao
The interplay with the piano and french horn is so good. I loved the feeling of finally hitting max level, buying the overpowered armor and just slaughtering the guys on this mission.
And most people here probably have no clue that this theme is a remake of the chaos temple theme from final fantasy 1.
As a fellow FF nerd, this pleases me that I knew this too.
ARR is a tribute to nearly every FF game
I didn't know this! Is there a part where it really shines? I'm trying to find a point where I can pin it but am struggling a bit.
wait, WHAAAAT?!
No. No it's really not. Chord progression on the piano portion is completely different.
Fell in love with this the first time I ran the duty. Still disappointed it's somehow not an orchestrion roll yet.
RIP Praetorium
You were pretty hilarious. ❤️
Just started playing. The music transition from the introduction into 0:53 is simply amazing!
Feels like the final phase of Operation Archon is commencing.
Funny how it took them a decade to give it an Orchestrion Roll!
I'm going to have this play for my funeral someday
I miss this simpler time. Back when this was considered 'end-game'
I always love getting this place in Main Scenario Roulette. The music is beyond epic. I love it :) I'll have to go through it again one time though and actually watch the cutscenes, something I never got to do when I first played through it.
I'm so happy I'm playing this game now even if I'm way late to the party. Even though I got to end game a month ago this tune has been in my head. Such an epic moment.
Love whenever my boy Cid takes part in the battle!!! He’s the best!!!
4:40
That's it
Love the break down at 6:12! LOVE PRAE 🥰 Thanks for posting!
Ah yes, the memories of when I farmed this area for the 10th Anniversary's Tombstones. It already feels nostalgic.
I love the part with the opera/latin lyrics.
THIS IS EPIC. I love this dungeon for the music, honestly
I farmed this mission for the Inferno Jacket. Worth every second ✨
whoa, I never noticed all the subtle violin in this before at the quiet parts
I never realized how good the rest of this song because my party is always too busy commentating on the Netflix Original that is this dungeon. Honestly the only reason I do MSQ roulette is jokes about how easy the boss fights are now.
Yeah, I'm hoping the upcoming stat squish will help fix the issue of early level cap trials/raids becoming a complete joke. I get that stuff should get easier as you get better gear, but not to the point where you can just skip/ignore cleverly designed fight mechanics. Never understood not including an ilvl cap on the 8/24 player content. It gets just as trivialized by high gear. If you want to just mow down the bosses, do it unsynched. Let those of us in Duty Finder have a fun experience.
2:41 That soft piano version of The Maker's Ruin is so good.
My favorite part of the whole song also
I REALLYYYYY would've loved it if the whole song was the start or we had a version of that. It's so good.
6:25 Michael’s transformation into the Demon Warlock
God damn if I don't get a massive wave of nostalgia from this theme nowadays. I was such a weak little baby when I went into the Praetorium the first time on my shitty PC that ran the game at like 15 FPS, but fuck me, I had to wait till Nidhogg to be as hyped as then. Now? I've got like 6 classes at lvl 60, I've slain the majority of the Ex Primals, I'm hyping Stormblood with the everyone else and my game runs at a pretty steady 30 FPS on my not so shitty laptop.
What a god damn journey it has been. And it's only been 2 years! There's so much more to go!
I'll be honest I love this theme, especialy at the start when they show you, cid, biggs and wedge its damn epic.
I'd love to see SE bring this theme back during an important Gaius moment in the upcoming raid quests.
4:42 almost never hear this song long enough to get to this amazing ass part
Omg. I remember protect and stone skin!
2:15
"This scene cannot be skipped." - 2022
2:15 to 3:40 > i cut it out and listen to it on spam every day
First time finishing this not long ago, got the usual "Rush through and do as little as humanly possible" crew. Too fast, too easy. Second phase of the final boss was a bit of a stiffer challenge, made the group have to work for it a little. This music got me so pumped. I wanted to fight EVERYTHING in here. Such a shame so much can be skipped, and what can't be can be run over.
take me back to simpler times
Surely my preferred track of all the OST, Stormblood tracks included. This theme is SOOOO epic !
My groups always get to Nero before 5:45 plays. It's annoying.
This video is actually the first time I've heard that part for that very reason.
Same thing here. I'd never even heard this part until now. Best part of the song.
2:40 part remind me of the Tom Cruise movie Oblivion ost, same synth-ish arrangement with digital sounding drum beat. Love it
You haven't played FF14 if you didn't experience the crazyness that is the Praetorium with a party of 8.
My best song in the game.
watching in 2015 ... those armors and hp/mp are such a blast from the past :D \o/
And SPEAKING of the new game, with the new expansion on the free trial you can be sure I'll be here to fight Lahabrea and van Baelsar. No way I'm letting them unleash Ultima!
Spoken like a true Warrior of Light :')
4:45 and 6:26 are my favourite bits
When I first ran this place I didn't even know you could interact with a console for the walker. So I ran all the way on foot...
When you finally take time to listen to the song, suddenly Main Scenario Roulette is 2% less awful
Going back here for many reasons. 1. THEY'RE UPDATING THE PRAE EXPERIENCE! 🎉🎉 It's all just plans as of writing. 2. Super late did I notice this song has bits of Answers on it. 3. And Love You Shall Find (Tertium/Terncliffe theme) is supposedly a sad version of this. And of course, 4. If you're a fan of anything Praetorium, go do Ruby Doomsday and subsequent quests in the series.
4:40 - personal replay button
out of the countless times I've run prae, this is the first time I've truly heard the music.
ARR is basically a huge slog at this point, but this part of the MSQ was climactic as hell and honestly made all the slogging worth it. I guess one could say this is where FFXIV finally, truly starts getting good.
Just going to leave this here, because I want to let you all know how divine this masterpiece is.
I was first introduced to this song around... 2015 or so? I don't have a precise answer since younger me was too oblivious to how temporary everything was. I believe I was around 9 years old, chilling in 4th grade like there was no tomorrow. I only played Final Fantasy 14 once and never laid my hands on it again, I just played other games like Minecraft and Roblox since I was personally attached to them.
Make no mistake, as I would play Final Fantasy 14 tracks to no end during my gameplay. There was this one server named Wynncraft (Funny since both Final Fantasy 14 and Wynncraft are MMORPG games, but let's not compare an entire fully-fledged game to a Minecraft server) where I would always play Final Fantasy 14 tracks while doing general stuff. I remember it so crystal clear in my head, gosh. It isn't just limited to games though, as during car rides I would always request for this song to be played as it was just so inspiring and ethereal. I guess I have to thank my Dad for introducing this stuff to me, I can't thank him enough. This song was ingrained into me following those years: 2016, in 5th grade where I was slowly becoming more involved in school activities; 2017, where it was a bit of a rough start, but I was able to manage myself in 6th grade; 2018, where I had my best memories with my friends; 2019, where I unfortunately started to somewhat drift away from the song in favor of others since I felt like it was becoming a bit stale; 2020, where everything had fell apart and I promptly forgot about it.
Now fast forward to the present day and... my gosh. Listening to this was just like listening to it the first time... except better. The amount of nostalgia and poignance I feel is unparalleled, but quickly turns into reassurance and upbringing for the future. Even though I still regret not doing anything to savior any memories. The mellow piano that makes me shed a tear at 2:15, is just... splendid, like a recall to youth when everything was so foreign. The choir at 4:46 gets you prepared for the catharsis partially, and 5:44 which substantially readies you for the catharsis that is... 6:25 where a leitmotif of the main theme plays and... my god, I am speechless. We should try and appreciate every single moment, even if it is hectic or miserable, as its value may be completely unknown to you until it's too late.
Thank you Square Enix and Final Fantasy 14, for creating this. Thank you Dad, for sharing this to me.
WoW, FFXIV, and ESO...If i have to choose just one "epic" theme from them all...this is it.
I got lucky, my FC and some of their friends did my praetorium run, and let me watch the cutscenes, but we had an ass telling me to skip or we kick him.
If we had someone like that in our group, and we have like two or more sprouts, we are waiting til done.
The impatient person always leave the party. I want people to get the lore/story.
the full song is actually quite nice, never get to hear it in game because of cutscene interruption and boss music
2:15 : there is no turning back, that's all ! Minfilia, i will
save you !
4:45 my favourite part.
Man...as someone who only started playing when 6.0 released, it's weird seeing all this ancient stuff. Like, how long ago did Yoshi-P get rid of TP??
Always...
Always...What? always....love you? Hate you? always hate him? i don't get it
luigi_MansionGC it’s the name of an episode in MyStreet Emerald Secret.
How did I just now get that reference
The reason why I prefer Praetorium to Meridianum.
It may be longer with more cutscenes (voiced, which is cool), but it gives higher EXP, and, before Torn From The Heavens in Meridianum, has the more superior music.
Torn from the Heavens gets stale if you grind enough Fate. This theme however is exclusive to Praetorium and that Stormblood mission
One of the few, maybe the only, dungeon I can't come to dislike while facerolling through it.
I think this theme fits Gaius and his men more than a "heroic assault"
I just want an Extreme Dungeon of this...
So dark and moody. Fills me up with a dark spirit of purpose.
How the hell can this not have an orcherstrion ingame? o.o
This was the first song I looked up as a new player on how to get, just to find out you can't.
I was happy to hear it once more in Stormblood. Gave me epic feels instantly :D
MSQ? It's a pretty sick dungeon. Leveling roulette? GET. ME. OUT.
