ffxiv boss music

[Weird Autumn]

We had this whole subsection of the forum dedicated to video games but we never had a thread about the only important thing in video games. I don't know why we let that stand for so long but we have a chance now to restart and rebuild and set right the wrongs of our past.

forward and back and then forward and back and then go forward and back and put one foot forward

[Gloomy Rube]

[Fontra]

can't believe y'all forgot the best one

[Weird Autumn]

titan is good but sephirot feels like a more ridiculous and thus better take on the concept

[Fontra]

Sephirot's is like Worlds Collide by Powerman 5000 mixed with NiN which is good, but I like the grimier sound mixed with the faster tempo of Titan's theme

[Fontra]

no seriously, compare the first meters of Sephirot's theme with this:



I'm not crazy right?

[Weird Autumn]

Powerman 5000 agrees with you, at least.

[Gloomy Rube]

powerman 5000 needs to realize that every song in that genre sounds like it

[Gloomy Rube]

can't believe y'all forgot the best one

But I already posted Lakshmi's theme??

[Fontra]

Powerman 5000 agrees with you, at least.

damn yeah apparently he does. but it's not like they don't ape other songs. see: good king mog or whatever that thing was. it's just this is halloween but with moogles.

[Gloomy Rube]

drat yeah apparently he does. but it's not like they don't ape other songs. see: good king mog or whatever that thing was. it's just this is halloween but with moogles.

Actually, it's the moogle theme that's been around for ages, it's got nothing to do with tim burton



It just happens to be when it was remixed it coincidentally sounded like this is halloween since the tempo's closer, it's not actually related

[Fontra]

...you're telling me this:



sounds more like that than it does this:

[The Doctor]

I still play lots of FFXIV. The good one's have been posted. Shiva, Sephirot, Lakshmi.


My favorite is probably Nidhogg though. The music changing for the 3 phases of the fight just makes for a great experience.





And of course...

Yes. You dingus.

The part you're calling "This is halloween" is in the original ff6 song at 0:42

[Fontra]

0:52 in the king mog song, you're actually telling me that does not sound at all like 2:01 of This is halloween meter for meter? Or any of the solo vocal parts that mimic that from This is Halloween? Or any of the other things that sound nearly the exact same structure-wise? Because there happens to be one part of the original moogle theme that sounds like this but isn't in a minor key?

There's coincidences and then there's "this has the exact same metering, vocal phrasing, refrains, and musicality as this other well-known song from a famous movie"

[Weird Autumn]

It's a little bit of both, I think--the melody is from the FFVI Moogle theme, but the arrangement, instrumentation, lyrics and vocals all feel very reminiscent of Danny Elfman.

That's why I said they 'ape' the song or at least the style of the song, not necessarily steal from it.

[Weird Autumn]

Also, I was trying to hold myself back from just posting all of the Alexander boss themes (all of them are extremely good) but seriously we need to take a moment and talk about SONIC BOOM

[Weird Autumn]

the Alexander boss themes (all of them are extremely good)

it doesn't show up in alex prime phase 2 but seriously every time they reprise Locus it's so good
