FFXIV Shadowbringers has good music
- Thread starter signal
- Start date
every time one of these freaking threads pops up (aka several times a week) it really makes me wish I had gotten into the game more. I keep trying every now and then but ugh mmos take so much time. The music being posted here is definitely great, and I listen to Answers pretty regularly as it is
I didn't like the bagpipes stuff in HW it was really grating. I've only just beaten thst so I hope the rest doesn't have anymore music like that.
It means low point. Having such a strong choice in a zone you spend alot of time in (when it was current) was a bad idea and definitely bothered some people and not something they did again. It's alot more chill in cities.
Walking into Amh Araeng and Rak'tika Greatwood for the first time was magical.
I like so many of the ShB songs, and Who Brings Shadow and To The Edge will always hold special places in my heart, but Innocence is where it's fucking at.

The "holy fuck" always gets me. But in all seriousness, the "so big" is actually "Sabik" right? As in the Heart of Sabik?
Runescape has it now, iirc, it was a bit ago and the World Record was just mistaken due to not enough research.
That said, FF14 should still have an award for best music use in an MMORPG.
That magical moment when for the first time the voice kicks in at 3:05 on the Crystarium OST.. this expansion was GOTY material.
for a moment I completely forgot the great oblivion remix for eden8, but I have to admit, despite not liking it at first I really like eden 12. The different movements and moment to moment elements of the song are great and really harkens to old final fantasy final boss music
I know that a recent thread about this had a lot of people hating on it but fuck it I love this song so much. Especially when you know the lyrics and setting.
Another really excellent one is this. Often ignored cause of the other two themes sandwiched between it:

Aside from The Twinning, The Hero's Gauntlet has one of my other favorite dungeon themes of the expansion. The dungeon feels like an amazing thematic culmination of the entire expansion up to that point (love seeing all the NPCs helping out you, like the the frog boss from the Don Mheg dungeon) and the theme incorporating so many of the other theme's from throughout the game sells it even harder.

I also dislike it quite a bit. It's sad that the 'movies and title' option isn't more permanent. Would just leave it on ARR's title screen.
Excellent use of the Doma theme. Soken is masterful with leitmotifs.
I think the only piece of music in the game I straight up can't stand is the Shadowbringers battle theme, I had to turn that off pretty quickly. Hopefully the Endwalker one is better.
I really wish I could revert it back to the Heavensward login screen.
I'm not a fan of atmospheric tracks personally and that Titania theme made my ears bleed I didn't listen to more than a minute
*turns on game*
HOOOOOOOOOOMMMEEEEEEEE
I hate it. Wish I could just permanently go back to the ARR title screen.
We can, kind of. A while back they added all the old title screens in the movies menu, it goes back to the respective one after watching/skipping the movie.
However it returns to the current one after logging out.
Thanks for clearing this up, I was extremely confused. Runescape probably had more than xiv will in its entire lifetime by 2010. Not talking about the quality, just pure amount by both number of songs and minutes total.
LA HEEEE goddamnit!
in the same year Shadowbringers dropped, it somehow did not get nominated for the Game Awards which upset me and my friends to no end. listen to this:
Night Theme to Crystarium:
i think i just really like the Shadowbringers city motif
Eulmore:
Last but not least the main theme!!
The way they rolled Eternal Wind in there damn near brought me to tears of joy. I truly love this series.

yup thats a good one and is VERY DMC. The one that hit me like "oh, they're going nuts" was Alexander
Wait, this was a joke? I really dig it lol. Bought the orch roll off MB because it wasn't dropping after like 10 runs.
It was only 5k gil...
Anyway, spoilering video because thumbnail:
This right here is why XIV's music holds such a place in people's heart. They must clearly be doing something in the background because they sync their music to key moments and you can feel the emotions ooze out as you play.
Even a regular boss theme gains so much more...meaning in its presentation. This song's debut in the first dungeon was masterful as it spent the whole dungeon showing how horrific and devastating the sin eaters. The song gives me a feel of desperation and resolve. Can't but feel hype as hell as the words "We Fall!" are going off as your dodging attacks trying your best to survive and figure out the mechanics to ultimately prevail.
Obviously this looses its affect in subsequent uses but for that first dungeon run for me was special.
That's the final boss theme, which is Soken's, the rest of the bosses play "Giving Chase" from XII (the joke). I do like the final boss music though.
I haven't actually played Shadowbringers yet, I just wanted to see what people were doing at endgame right now and I noticed the music.
Yoshi P is a Matsuno fanboy.
So glad I chose Amh Araeng as the first location to visit in ShB, the music is so unlike anything else in FFXIV.
I hate all the Alexander music. To me, it's the worst music in the game. I make sure to hit the mute button when I get an Alexander raid in roulette.
The Nier raid is incredible. Has the 3rd stage been released yet? I really need to get back into it...
The thing about the ost is that there are SO MANY different styles. There is something for everyone.
