I would describe FFXIV's battle system as a coordinated dance. The boss has their steps, and you have to adjust your movements to get the best performance out of your given job and follow the boss' dance. How strict that is depends on the fight's difficulty. The second video was a dungeon boss, which it's the easiest kind of boss, for example. That means the steps are usually quite forgiving, they aren't very complex and you have to commit either very big mistakes or repeated ones to die.
As for player number, there are solo content (which you will do alone), 4-players content (Dungeons), 8-players content (Trials and Normal Raids) and 24-players content (Alliance Raids). The most difficult content, with some exceptions, is 8-players content. This is the number they consider is realistic for a group of potential strangers to fully coordinate without placing way too much responsibility on one single player.
Very specifically, the 8-player content is broken into five forms: Trials (Which are generally meant to be big, major story boss fights); Normal Raids (Which are also big boss fights, but tend to require a bit more co-operation among players; They can still be cleared with a fully random party); Extreme Trials (which are normal trials that are tuned to be harder; More damage coming at the party, more HP to remove, and more mechanics to deal with); Savage Raids (Which are the Normal Raids, but scaled up to a much more complex level. These are one of the things FFXIV has world-first races for); and Ultimate Raids (Which are basically endurance battles lasting anywhere from 15-20 minutes, featuring bosses from various Normal Raid series put into a dazzling display of mechanics.)
The only type of 8-player content that's mandatory for story progression is the normal Trials, but the normal Raids are all parts of their own, mini storylines that tie into the main story, and are generally worth doing.
Don't know who recommended these tracks to you but there are definitely more iconic tracks in FFXIV you should listen to that really show the breadth and depth of the music in this game. Tracks like Metal: Brute Justice Mode, Weight of the World (Prelude Version), Dragonsong, Wayward Daughter, Scream, What Angel Makes Me, In the Balance, the Ruby Weapon theme, etc. being some of the more iconic ones that you could listen to. Also, if you're curious why the OST uploaded on YT are recorded in combat, its because its against ToS to upload FFXIV's music without gameplay and SE is trigger ready to take videos down.
I think the goal was to stay relatively spoiler free and to also not give away the really good tracks too soon.
@@Boethion I think its better to just expose potential players to all the greatest hits rather than worry if they'll get spoiled by a song they'll only encounter after hundreds of hours of playtime. That's also assuming they even play that long and don't get filtered out earlier. FFXIV's music is great enough that it can be appreciated even without context.
@@NezeruGaming Thats fair, though in this case she was already bought in so it didnt really matter
Runescape has the record not FF14 as far as I know.
@@robertjames6936 FFXIV was awarded the record in February 2017, but RuneScape surpassed it later that year and still currently holds the record.
Well to not spoil much on Alexander, Rise isn't really Alexanders theme, its his second phase music but not really his song.
Something closer to what would be Alexanders theme would be his phase 1 and the orchestrated version which plays in the hardest version of his fight.
The composer is Soken Masayoshi (he also did the music for 16!), Soken is a true artist and puts everything he has into the game. In fact, he wrote a huge chunk of the extended Shadowbringers OST from the hospital while he was battling cancer. Please listen to more and also enjoy the game ^^
- There are a LOT of arrangements of older Final Fantasy music in FFXIV! Off the top of my head, there's music from FF3, FF4, FF6, FF7, FF8, FF9 (not just Vamo'alla Flamenco!), and FF12. The original music for XIV is also very, very good, but it's awesome to hear the music you know and love with updated sound fonts--as you found out with Vamo'alla Flamenco!
- Some (spoiler free) context around Insatiable: That's the first boss of the first dungeon in Shadowbringers, so that's the first time you hear Insatiable at all. Yes, it plays throughout the whole fight. And in that particular video, those were NPCs, but you can also team up with other players.
- There is a Summoner job, but you only get five total summons--Ifrit, Titan, Garuda, Bahamut and Phoenix. And Carbuncle, I guess, but carbies are more like the catalysts for the bigger summons.
- The context around the eidolons/aions/eikons/whatever you wanna call them that you know are changed in FFXIV. In XIV, they're called primals, and are generally antagonistic and make up most of the big boss fights in the game. There are whole storylines around them, so I won't say more for fear of spoilers, but yeah. This includes Alexander.
- Yes, Anima is in the game, briefly. Again, context is entirely changed, but it's there--just very late in the story. No, you can't get it as a secret summon as in FFX, sadly. :(
Looking forward to seeing you play! Whether you stream or not, I hope you enjoy it.
Oh yeah, if you like classic FF then you'll love this game. It loves to reference other FF stuff, especially the older games!
They give you outfits for Firion, Advent Children Cloud, Squall, and Zidane as a reward for staying subscribed, Dark Knight does Cloud poses and it does the Limit Break motion, Black and White Mage both get outfits that are exactly what you'd expect, I'm pretty sure the Monk armor directly references Yang, and Ultros makes a few nice cameos. There's even a questline where you have an adventure in Ivalice and get some fun FFXII references with a different thing giving you the Executioner armor from that game.
This game really knows who it's aimed at and it does a really good job of getting the stuff you'd want to see in an FF MMO in while also building new things and having its own feel and story that it sets up over time.
One way to look at ffxiv is like a big homage to all the other final fantasy games because it picks different elements from them and incorporates them into the story or raids but in a way that still makes sense to the lore of the world itself. That is why we have Alexander as a Raidfight.
Edit: Also just in case you needed any more glowing reviews, the creator of Final Fantasy Hironobu Sakaguchi is playing the game and loved the story himself, so I don't think there is any higher endorsement to be had :D
Ohhh that's interesting to know!! I can't wait to find out more about how they work in this universe and the summons you can fight!! Also glad to hear he liked it :) Thanks for watching!
@@georgieegames At this point, basically, think of a summon and it's probably in the game. I think they've got pretty much everything at some point or another.
@@georgieegamesif you are interested, he is playing on JP servers and crafts items which he calls with his brand SakaGucci (not exact spelling)
The song Makers Ruin is the most significant one for my journey with the game and it has many versions, From the Heavens being my favorite one.
your reaction to vamo alla flamenco of recognizing it on the first note had me ROLLING :D. also yes, insatiable plays during dungeon bosses throughout the entirety of shadowbringers. for me, it holds the record for one of the best boss themes in the game. it makes my entire guild go bonkers whenever it comes on in something or when some of us are hanging out irl and someone plays it LOL .
as other people have said, most of the summons appear, but only some of them are available to summoner players as a "summon". that said, summoner is a really fun class to play- i do recommend it. last night my guild and i tried to do a fight with five summoners, one reaper and one bard. the bahamuts...they were everywhere. since you said you want to play gunbreaker and you can't unlock that until level 60, arcanist/summoner might be a good in betweener choice until you get there if you like summons! gunbreaker is a tank and i learned it from the ground up. the dps with a gun is machinist! you can unlock them starting at level 50 :)
the video for insatiable is with NPCS, as the game has begun instituting a system where you can clear dungeons with NPCs at your own pace, but you can choose to go in with NPCs or other players.
anima is a new addition to the game since it appears in endwalker, so it's only been here for about a year, don't feel too bad about not having heard of it sooner!
don't worry- by the time you get to something like alexander prime you're at least level 60/90 so you'll have a lot more game experience than you do just watching it, hehe. i can't believe this comment got longer than the ones i've left on your arknights videos. god. anyway, this game is really fun, i hope you enjoy playing it.
FFXIV has official starter guide videos for new players that are pretty good. Starting a new MMO can be overwhelming and it helps explain the basics you need going in.
That's a good idea! I am gonna do a video checking out some of these guides or maybe a stream looking over them to figure out the best way to begin! Thanks for watching!
@@georgieegames been playing the game for around 10 years and yeah the guide videos that Square made actually help XD
@@georgieegames you aren't locked into a class when you start a new character, so you could just jump in and let the ingame tutorials do their thing
@@georgieegames A good vdeo to react to might be the officially released 'Break the Limit!' video. It shows the unique limit break (big finishing move) animation for each job in the game - so might be cool to get a look at while considering which job to play.
@@georgieegamesthere is no best way to begin lol just jump in !
There is summoner as a job, it gets 6 summons, Carbuncle, Ifrit, Titan, Garuda, Bahamut, and Phoenix, though until you hit basically max level you are summoning little itty bitty versions of them sadly. It also is the only class that shares a level with another class, for silly reasons, that being scholar who summon fairies.
that said the Eicons, Eidolons, Espers, or as FFXIV calls them Primals get FAR more representation, and without out spoiling anything NOTHING is off limits. If it's been a summon there's a good chance it gets at least referenced. The rule of thumb for them is that they are "trials" 8 player boss fights.
7:13 this is the main boss battle theme of the Shadowbringers DLC. If you remember the Shadowbringers trailer, it has the same melody as this one. That's the leitmotif for this DLC :)
Every DLC has its own theme and when you play through it you will find similar leitmotifs of the same theme. Pretty lit if you ask me. There are a lot of OSTs that sound just as good or even BETTER (imo) like Weight of the World (Prelude Version), Wayward Daughter, Dragonsong, Revenge Twofold, and a lot more. Also Insanity is the final boss theme for Shadowbringers with the same leitmotif as the one you listened to earlier, and it is GUUUUUD.
Mild raid spoilers:
-
Super worth noting, Alexander is the boss of his own raid quest chain where, I kid you not, Alexander, himself, just IS the dungeon! Like it's a whole cool pocked dimension thing. And he has all kinds of cool robots and stuff inside of him that you fight to get through. If you're interested, I'd highly recommend the themes for that raid, they're all just really cool and interesting. Specifically, Sapphire has a great cover of Locus, and it's just so well done! Super good production values, they do a bunch of fun stuff with getting their own characters involved, it's just so good.
The big ones are Locus, Metal, Eponential Entropy, and Brute Justice. I'd really recommend all of them.
Also worth noting, the actual Alexander Fight has a whole time stop mechanic! So when you actually do the fight, it stops every now and then and swaps to a way slower more chill theme when the timestop happens. It's super cool because the song is designed to be so fast and crazy that it works no matter where they make the switch.
Just from listening to you talk about your previous experiences with the series, you would really enjoy XIV. It's somehow simultaneously it's own thing and straight fanservice. Also, I was trying to find a way to hint at Anima without giving it away, and then you saw the thumbnail LOL.
Omg anima I lost my SHIT I genuinely can't wait because it's one of my fave summons 😭😭 I think I will too! Is gonna be fun :) Ty for watching!
@@georgieegamesthe guy who designed Anima for FFX is in the FF14 dev team and worked on Anima for it as well.
- The Shadowbringers song you listened to 2nd is the generic dungeon boss music that plays in every dungeon boss fight for that expansion, and every other expansion has a different generic dungeon boss theme.
- The Summoner job does get to briefly use summons throughout their rotation, specifically Ifrit, Titan, Garuda, Bahamut, and Phoenix once you unlock them all.
- The clip you watched of the Shadowbringers boss fight was a player with 3 npcs, but you can also do it with a group of 4 players which tends to go much faster.
- Party sizes vary based on the content. Dungeons are groups of 4 (1 tank, 1 healer, 2 dps), trials, raids, and ultimates are groups of 8 (2 tanks, 2 healers, 4 dps), and alliance raids are 3 groups of 8 (1 tank, 2 healers, 5 dps each) working together
- The Alexander video was from the perspective of a Machinist. It's a ranged dps job w/ a gun, plus a bunch of crazy tech like flamethrowers and a killer robot.
- The level for boss fights like Alexander vary. Alexander was added when the level cap was 60 so that's the requirement for his fight, but there are similar fights that get unlocked every 10 levels starting at level 50 based on which expansion the fight was added in, with the current cap being level 90. The game has a system of syncing your level down to the appropriate level of that content meaning that unlike other mmos the content isn't immediately obsolete when level cap increases and you can still actively find groups for all of it. Syncing down does mean losing access to high level abilities though, so the higher level content is generally more fun since you can do more.
There is a more orchestrated version of Alexander's theme in the game that definitely feels more savior-like. It just also happens to be one of the hardest fights in the game, so a lot of people don't get to experience it.
In FFXIV dungeons have a light parties, a Tank a Healer and two DPS. Raid content (Trials and raids) have Full Party, basically 2 Light Parties. 2 Tanks 2 Healers and 4 DPS. Finally theres Alliance Raids where there are 3 full parties. In the Shadowbringers boss them vid they were NPCs through a system they added called the Trust. They've now added Duty support to most story dungeons which are also NPCs. So if you don't want to play with people you can.
So not only is Summoner in the game, it's also genuinely great and really beginner friendly. It does really solid damage, is super easy to play, and it can revive people... which is HUGE since it can easily save a run. Leveling Summoner also levels Scholar, which gives you a healing fairy for that class, so if you want to try out Healer you'll always have a higher-leveled option for it if you main Summoner.
Gameplay spoilers:
You start with Carbuncle and you get a skill that lets him enhance your Ruin skills, then you start getting little spirits for Ifrit, Titan, and Garuda. So you use Carbuncle's skill for a bit and then you get some stuff where you use each of the other summons back to back, meaning you're just going from Summon to Summon while barely spending time casting your own un-enhanced spells (mostly Ruin). After a bit you unlock Bahamut, which is just the giant full-on thing, and it floats behind you and does all the cool stuff you'd expect it to! It replaces your Carbuncle mode as a straight upgrade, but it's so cool! And then you get Phoenix and it basically replaces your Bahamut phase every OTHER cast. So you start a fight, go Bahamut, do Ifrit, Titan, and Garuda spirits, and then you use Phoenix, who hits harder and also heals the party when he comes out (because of course, right?)
Eventually you get the full versions of your three starting summons, too. So you're just running up, doing Bahamut, and then throwing out the full forms of Ifrit, Titan, and Garuda back to back, and they're super sick! It looks so freaking cool! And the new expansion is going to probably upgrade skills too at the new level cap, so I'm super excited to see what the heck they actually add this time. Who knows? We might unironically get Anima or Alexander as continuations of Bahamut/Phoenix phase, right? Because they're summons in the game, so why not?
youre going down a rabbit hole of my favorite games lol, first limbus, now ffxiv. cant wait to see your journey, brings me back some nostalgia even though i started only like 4 years ago .
Watching this has made me wanna rush over and listen to some more FFXIV songs 🤣 there's some absolutely brilliant songs, a lot which I can't recommend because of spoilers, but I saw a few pop up in the recommended between videos you were watching. The music style range is insane as well you get the more fast paced Alexander Phase 2 you listened to but also epic choirs, slammin rock, unexpected rap, folk wailing (that's a compliment to that particular song as well, if you know you know), and as well as a lot that reference other FF games there are also some that get remixed so it's like twice the joy with another fresh spin on it. I may not have the pleasure of being someone who has played other FF games before but it always brings me joy seeing FF fans discover FFXIV and experience all the references. I hope you do end up playing, regardless of how long for - Eorzea welcomes you!
One thing I really like about FFXIV is that it has a really great learning curve. So that dungeon boss you were watching was from Shadowbringers but the bosses in A Realm Reborn will be much easier. What they do is introduce a consistent series of ways bosses telegraph their moves so as you play through and the raid mechanics from one expansion become the dungeon boss mechanics of the next the progression is very natural. As for the Dancer job, it is my favorite DPS job, but it is an expansion job so you won't be able to play it until you have played another job to level 60 first. I just don't want you to be surprised. If you want to play that job and want a job that will share gear with it you will want to start with Archer/Bard. There is also a Summoner job. The starting job for that is Arcanist and it can become Summoner at level 30. The gunbreaker job is a tank job. It also starts at level 60.
Party sizes are based on content. Dungeons are a "Light Party" of 4 1 Tank, 1 Healer, 2 DPS. Normal raids and Trials are a Full party which is 2 Light Parties so 2 tanks, 2 healers, 4 DPS. There are also Alliance Raids. These are 3 parties composed of 1 tank, 2 healers and 5 DPS each working together.
I actually cried a bit when I heard the music in... well, gold saucer 😂
FF7 was my first ff afterall and the music really hit me in the feels
They have FF7 music too that's amazing!! Can't wait to hear it!! Same here! I love that they have included these in the other games I love that 😁✌️ Ty for watching!
The theme that REALLY hit me hard was the theme in the later half of the fourth EW zone (not gonna spoil what it is though). If you know, you know :)
The one that really got me when I started laying is the mount music for the *SPOILER* that you get for completing the ARR base game. I used to run around in that thing for hours just to listen to the FF6 overworked theme on infinite loop
As a FF veteran, hearing you talk about previous FF games puts a big smile on face when i think of what you may see in this game.
The only impact that choosing a class when you begin has is which of the three cities you start the game in.
If you want to start in the forest city of Gridania, then Lancer, Archer, or Conjurer will get you there.
If you want to start in the seaport city of Limsa Lominsa, then Arcanist and Marauder will carry you there.
If you want to start in the desert city of Ul'dah, then Gladiator, Thaumaturge, and Pugilist will send you there.
After making a little progress in the MSQ, you will go to all three of these cities. And since you can be all of the jobs on one character, you can unlock everything. Same thing goes for crafters and gatherers.
Oh I am kinda sad but also kinda happy that they didn't show you a certain part of the Alexander fight. It is going to be amazing when you get to it and do it since I think you will love it. But yeah just this small sample is nothing when you start to get into the game.
Can't wait to see your first (returning?) steps to Eorzea!
can barely hear the music in the vid unfortunately
also, Anima and Alexander are both in this game, but as bossfights, not as player-useable summons
one class, Summoner, gets access to a handful of summons as spells, namely Ifrit, Titan, Garuda, Bahamuth and Phoenix, but they are much smaller scale for clarity's sake
BTW the job you saw in there had just a gun. It was a Machinist.
HOWEVER the game DOES indeed have a Gunblade job. The Gunbreaker. But you'll have to get to 60 to unlock it.
Subbed! Can't wait for you to play FFXIV!!! Welcome to Eorzea!
As a Dancer Main in the game, it made me smile massively to hear the 1st song.
You can unlock Dancer with the Shadowbringers expansion at Level 60!
Oh, the controller setup in FFXIV is extraordinary, and very intuitive. You have a button to swap between hotbars, but customization options have made it to where I have access to all of my abilities without ever pressing the dedicated swap button.
Edit: if you want more classic FF music out of this game, try The Extreme or Dancing Mad. Both are brilliant.
dualcasting is a red mage exclusive skill, every job has its own unique skill that is exclusive to them, with about 6 skills for each role (tank magic long range and physical) which are the only ones that overlap and their mainly for utility
Oh boy you've opened pandora's box with FF XIV soundtracks hahaha. An endless stream of amazing music awaits!
Can recommend "Return to Oblivion", Sephirot's Theme, Titania's Theme and Titan Maximum's Theme! (Beware of spoilery videos of course lol)
there are a lot of ff9 references in shadowbringers, zorn and thorn, queen brahne, even garnet and her hairstyle change are referenced. also the location that they were doing the dance battle in was costa del sol
I'm not sure if this song really counts as one of FFXIV's greatest hits, but the Critical Engagement theme is pretty neat. It plays in a side content mode called Save the Queen when fighting a boss. The tension from the song is usually amplified by the nonsense that is usually thrown at you during one. The video "FINAL FANTASTY XIV - 48 Warriors of Light vs Red Chocobo" shows off the typical panic when one of the harder fights show up.
Okay, basics... I haven't gotten through the whole vid yet but I wanted to point some stuff out. Starting in Shadowbringers a system was introduced that allowed players to run dungeon content with a group of NPC bots. It's called the Trust System and it was a *rousing* success. You also have the option to level up your Trust NPCs so that they can run content with you that they might not have actually been *present* to run at the time, if you happen to have your favorites. Because it was so popular, the effort was put in to go back through the content up to that point and revise the dungeons associated with the MSQ so that they could also be run with NPCs if a player wished under a system called Duty Support. NPCs cannot level in Duty Support, but they can in Trust, if that helps explain the difference. As of Patch 6.5, due out in October, Duty Support will be available in all MSQ relevant dungeons across the whole game. The only exceptions are 8-person Trials and the Alliance Raid series, the Crystal Tower, which is a 24-person piece of content but has been made required because of MSQ Reasons in late Shadowbringers and beyond.
As for the likes of Anima et al... Summoners exist in Eorzea, they branch off the Arcanist class that you can choose to start with or you can unlock later if you want. They can, as they progress, call upon... smaller iterations of the summon monsters, or Primals, that you are familiar with. The primals are generally the objects of the above mentioned 8-person Trials, which are generally just a big boss fight. The Summoner gets access to Bahamut, Phoenix, Ifrit, Titan, and Garuda while starting with Carbuncle as a Level 3 (I believe) Arcanist. Yeah, Carbuncle shows up early in progression.
And before I forget, the only musical suggestion I really have is a track that is, I believe, called The Warrens. It's the background music for a level 50 dungeon that is encased in snow and ice and there's this... piercing *beauty* to the track that takes my breath away every time I hear it. The dungeon is called Snowcloak, if that helps.
Subbed just to keep up with you when u start streaming. We are emotional vampires here in the FFXIV community and love replaying the game through new players!
Just Followed you on Twitch. See you there when you start streaming!
FFXIV is an absolute love letter from the devs to all Final Fantasy fans. So many references, call-backs and fan service moments that you don't NEED to know about to play the game, but enhance the experience so much more. There are several names that I could say that would immediately give a knowledgeable player flashbacks to their childhoods that are included in the game. If you love Final Fantasy, this is your home. Welcome to Eorzea.
Scream, dedicated to moonlight, ultima(band), footfalls, sunrise, it came from the heavens are some of my favorite. The game is a love letter to all things final fantasy mainline and not. Soken had stated he wants to put in every genre of music into the game
Flow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow, Return to Oblivion, Scream, Footfalls, Dragonsong, To the Edge and Answers are just some of the great track you should have a listen to!
i can vouch for all of this song's myself but i have to say, the context of most of them ingame makes them 100% better (but even without they are great)
summoner is a job in the game, it only gets 5 summons called egi and demi primals, you use 4 at a time with one being a timed extra source of damage, the other three are a set of essentially bullets that you load into a chamber that you fire off in different ways, at least at 90, other than that summons are kinda...bad for the planet. the way the primals (this game's name for summons) work is that they are summoned using a lot of aether and then continue to feed, making them parasites that can drain the planet dry if we don't stop them
The dance quest line is still one of my favorite job quest lines.
The theme you're probably looking for for Alexander is probably Moebius, which plays in the first phase of that fight.
Totally fits the orchestral feel you mightve been expecting.
For any needed clarification, Gunbreaker (the job using the gunblade) is a tank you get access to the moment you hit 60 on any other job, so you will need to pick a different job to start as. You mentioned summons, but there is a Summoner job you can be as well, very thematic magic caster DPS that uses summons to augment and summons them as attacks. The gun in the alexander fight is just a Machinist, they use guns and technology for ranged non magical dps.
If you truly intend to get into the game, be wary of spoilers and finding out about references too early, there a lot of really cool ones and definitely better to see them at the intended reveal most times. So be careful with youtubes algorithms and it wanting to show you 14 music videos, like your surprise with the anima thumbnail.
there's diffently allot more variation in the themes than what you have heard now and allot of them are exceptionally beautifull ^^ can't wait to see how your reactions will be about the game and if you like anima the fight is actually really amazing in this game imo.
There are bosses that are missable if you aren't a completionist and don't know where to find them, Alexander is not resolved within the main quest, but you won't be able to miss him when he turns up
The one thing i would like to preface.
The way you know the Eikons/summons/(in game) primals work fundimentally different. So a lot of these summons are primarily antagonistic to testing of humanitys mettle. A part is in large as you go throug the story you find out.
A Bit of a tip. The ARR raid is called the Binding Coils of Bahamut it had 3 tiers. After that the Heavensward raid is called Alexander. Also yes Angels do judge the worthy so it does fit the theme but i really refuse to go deep into what Alexander is for the universe.
A lot of the raid content be it the 8 man and 24 man is what would be considered B plot. While class/job stories are C plot. The MSQ being your A plot. And up to storm blood a lot of your B and C plots get wrapped around the MSQ.
Dragoon, Monk, Ninja being the three classes that have a A plot tie in for both heavensward and stormblood. Any artisan class and gathering class tends to get tossed in here and there for the light hearted bits.
There are job class guides that range from silly to serious with Larryzur and Jocat being on the silly side.
Another thing while there is a Summoner Class (and scholar) due to how busted summoning a primal can be...well they hit them with a nerf bat rather HARD/made the job work in thr confines of an MMO.
"My favorite summon is Anima"
Me: Hehehe 😏
*Looks at Anima in the thumbnail and freaks out*
Me: Welp.....I guess the cat is out of the bag 😂
I am absolutely adoring your reactions to the music as well as the cinematic trailers from your other video. I will definitely watch your FFXIV adventure on your stream! (and also giggle at your reactions as you play :P)
Answers, dragonsong, scream, fiend, shadowbringers, tomorrow and tomorrow, ravana’s theme, wicked wiles, oblivion, return to oblivion, under the weight, Metal: brute justice mode, wrath in the harrier, ultima…just to name a few
MMOs can be a lot, especially if they are around for 10 years like FFXIV. My tip would be, dont stress about Jobs to play(you can freely switch and level them all on one character) and stick to the MSQ and blue unlock quests for the beginning, they will teach you all the basics and show you the world.
9:54 well, it could be considered mild spoiler to even say this much but yes Anima is in here, don't look him up though. He is at a pretty important part. I did find just the fight if you want, with no context other than the stage and the title of the expansion it is in so, if that doesn't bother you here it is.
Anima
ua-cam.com/video/kFBoBEdkwF4/v-deo.html
If you have that strong of a reaction to Vamo Alla Flamenco, you should definitely play Dancer. This song plays during almost every one of their job quests.
If the gameplay and song of Alexander interests you, I'd recommend watching a BGM only video of The Epic Of Alexander fight. It's basically a super hard version of Alexander. It's a boss rush each phase having it's own soundtrack and it's so mesmerising to watch even if you don't understand anything about the fight!
On job choice, you won't be able to start Gunbreaker until you get to level 70. Until then, since you like summons, you might consider starting as an Arcanist. At level 30, it allows access to Scholar and Summoner, a healer and magical ranged DPS. Summoner does spawn summons. Gunbreaker is a tank, so be prepared to deal with that role if you try it out. But its not too hard in basic content. :) If you do that, you'll have access to all three roles. The MSQ provides far more XP than you need to level one job, so between those two you can keep them current. For Summoner/Scholar, they actually work off the same XP bar, so its like leveling two jobs at once.
Larryzaur has the best video about job choice. Sadly not updated, but still very much relevant.
FFXIV holds the world record for longest soundtrack, and I don't think that record CAN be broken until many years after 14 finally shuts down, which is no time soon
What happened in first scene is start of Dancer profession
I recommend the Endwalker Job Actions trailer. Just every job showing off their skills on training dummies. Find the one you find visually the coolest, and then you can look into it more in depth from creators like Mr. Happy or Larryzaur.
Final Fantasy 9 tracks in final fantasy 14. Vamo alla flamenco (in this video). Festival of the hunt. run! (the track during the cutscene escaping the evil forest). all the final fantasy 8 battle themes are in 14.
there is a Summoner job you can get. but it summons small pet versions of eidolons. and only 5 of them. there is a Tank job with a gunblade. requires you to have reached level 60 with a job to unlock thou. you can play every role on one character thou.
For music choice, I'd go with The Twinning/A Long Fall, considering it being such a bop was a whole meme for a while.
For job choosing and react, JoCat does an entire animated breakdown of all the jobs, and those are quite entertaining.
Yup, you can play FFXIV with a controler, you can do every content with it, even the most hardest one !
Fallen angel and oblivion are the first 2 songs that made me realise how good the music in this game can be. They are both from the base game so not much of a spoiler either.
If I had to name some personal favorites overall while keeping it low on spoilers:
To the edge
Revenge of the horde
Moebius (orchestral version)
A long fall
What angel wakes me
I always recommend new players of FFXIV check out the No Clip documentary on the game (it's on UA-cam). It gives amazing insight into the failure of the 1.0 version of the game and how they rebuilt it into A Realm Reborn, including interviews with the director/producer Yoshi-P and his team at CBU3. I hope you enjoy your journeys in Eorzea!
If you want a feel of FF14, check out the Endwalker Job Trailer.
POTENTIALLY
i am so excited
If you want a gunblade, you'll be waiting for a bit. It's not unlocked until you get another job to level 60. It's a tank too, so I suggest you play as a paladin, warrior, maybe even dark knight so you can get used to tanking
If you like any Final Fantasy, there's a lot to love in this game. This game while being it's own is a love letter to every Final Fantasy and there's something for everyone in these. I hope you enjoy your journey into FFXIV!
you wanna know if they did more remake of alreadt existing songs from other FFs?
there's so many it's almost impossible to count how many there are.
if you're an FFVI fan there's an entire raid tier in Stormblood that is an homage to VI, culminating in the mad clown himself Kefka! The FFXIV version of Dancing Mad is immaculate.
in the alexander fight you actually fight inside alexander
so you fight alexander inside alexander that summons another alexander
Welcome to Eorzea!
FF14 has been my favorite game to play for the past 2 years. My journey from Lvl 1 to the current expansion has been absolutely incredible. Hope you enjoy the game!
There are so many callbacks to other FF games, and a lot of iconic songs. I almost lost my shit over the FFXIV rendition of Force Your Way.
One thing to know with the series classic summons/espers/aeons/etc in 14 is that they're broadly called "Primals" and are generally given form from prayer given by their believers. They're not entirely individual beings that have received worship but rather figures of worship born from collective belief, so their appearance and attitude is largely dependent on who it is that is conjuring them at the moment. This leads to some... interesting interpretations when it comes to some recollections of how some encounters with certain Primals went.
My recommendations for FFXIV videos:
What Angel Wakes Me
Under The Weight
Sunrise
Equilibrium
A Long Fall
Your gonna be in for a treat if you plan on getting into FFXIV!
There's quite a few oldies that got remixes, and some songs from past FF games also appear in their original version too!
And the amount of original songs that are just banger after banger for almost every moment you can think of~
Welcome to Eorzea if you plan on jumping in!
EDIT:
Gunblade! Ohhh personally as a tank main, you might enjoy being a Gunbreaker! But you'll have to get a job at level 60 first since Gunbreakers were introduced in Shadowbringers, along with Dancers
Please stream this game. Its a once in a lifetime experience
If you’re going to do another non-spoilery ost video I have some recommendations! Scream, sunrise, wrath of the harrier, and ultima (the primals). There are a bunch more that are also BANGERS but these ones will not spoil the msq. I would recommend some choice orchestral pieces but I’m afraid even contextless spoilers are too dangerousss. Note: these are mostly rock style songs
@5:00 Well, you'll be glad to know FF9 is getting a remake. :)
"i want ot know if they have done any other FF song"
me: YES
"what songs?"
me: YES
wierd choises of recommendations i must say, your in for a ride if you keep listening to 14 ost !
Heya, wrote this already under your Trailer REaction to FF14, to up chances you see it I write it here again :) If your interested, there is a Interesting Story behind FF14 Sucess and how it became this critical aclaimed Hit. There's a really good 3-Part NoClip Documentation with lot's of Interviews and Background Informations about the Developmen History and how the Game almost failed at Launch and was basically remade in just roughly 2 Years of Time.
Love your reaction.
If you're gonna play it or see a nice video of jobs available, theres is one of Endwalker Job Action video.
i had the exact same reaction to the first theme and i am a straight 41 year old dude :3
FF14 has a lot of song remakes from the older games ♥
Most bosses are pretty big in the game. After a while the smaller bosses feel annoying because they're so much harder to see lmaoooo
Endwalker has a lot of FFIV remixes.
Oh, and Anima…not going to spoil! You’ll have to play the game!!
And there are even way better ff14 OST's than these. I don't say that these are not good. But there are many more that you should check out. I guess the other comments will recommend those. And yeah most best music going in the background during trials,raids,alliance raids, dungeons and during the MSQ of the game. ff14 is huge and have a lot of things/fun stuff to do outside of the MSQ too. And can have fun and hang out with other players in the main city's too. The whole game and the MSQ of ff14 was one of my best gaming/story experience ever! Mostly Shadowbringers and Endwalker and ofc still playing all day and can't wait the next expansion Dawntrail.
If you like FF9, how about the two Crystalline Conflict themes? "Festival of the Hunt" and "Run!"
Crystalline Conflict is a PvP mode, so those videos can't spoil you. Don't worry you won't have to do it if PvP's not your thing, but it's a fun mode and realizing where the music came from was a treat.
There's music from other FF games all over the place though, they do a great job creating new versions.
If you like nostalgia… yeah… you should play. Expect a slow start, but it’s totally with the play through. Also, expect a lot of channel growth if you stream this. Have a plan on editing and scheduling videos ^_^
The AI in this game is surprisingly good. If not a little slow going. If you're using them, I advise being the tank. An AI tank is not going to pull mobs without your input. lol
“I’m gonna cry!” Welcome to FFXIV 😂😂. You won’t regret it. I came from loving all the single player FF games and never thought I’d pay monthly for a game. Yet here I am, 3 years later, and imo the best FF story by a LONG shot.
I am really enjoying it so far, I am just putting in what time I have free at the moment and the ARR story is really good so far but im excited for the future expansions I get to explore! :D
@@georgieegames glad to hear. It’s an amazing experience but don’t feel like you have to rush. I know you want the gunbreaker though haha.
funny thing Anima is in FF14 just not telling you were or when or it will spoil it
If you don’t plan to watch one piece or you don’t care of being spoiled please watch the new one piece 1070-1072 episodes, they are amazing new episodes and there are more coming later
Sooo... did anyone told her about Anima? :)
they DID ahhhhhh fricken love anima - one day I will have more time to go back to find anima :(
Your reaction to seeing that Anima is in the game had me laughing, you remind me of my cousin haha.
I'd say try your best not to spoil too much of the game if you're planning to play through it, trust me the payoff is much better, either way I hope you enjoy the game 😁
I feel like she is gonna be trapped in game soon
Play this game! Just do it. You wont regret it.
Man Alexander without timestop is not the same. It’s why I listen to the Primals video, the timestop is half the fun lol
Oooh wait whats timestop?
Pretty much all of the series most iconic songs have been remade and snuck into FFXIV in several places. Though I would say FFXIV has many of its own fully unique tracks that are far better than most of these.
Insatiable for example is one of the weakest (though still good) tracks in Shadowbringers.
Also, the good news about Alexander is you can fight him in the free trial! Hes part of Heavansward's endgame. In the story/lore his role isnt just a boss to fight though, his situation is a little complicated.
the alex theme isnt actually that one... its funny that what you describe was more like the ultimate version of him

If someone hasnt recommended it to you yet.I recommend jocat crap guide to final fantasy xiv
So many better songs than this. To the Edge, In the Balance, Dedicated to Moonlight, With Hearts Aligned, Promises to Keep, Return to Oblivion, Your Answer, Athena the Tireless One, Invincible, the list goes on and on.
Welcome to Eorzea little Sprout ^^
I hope you will enjoy the jurney as much as the rest of us did ^^
