Yoko, The Goddess. Check out some of her kingdom hearts work.

[@AtlasBenighted]

Give Killer King a like!

[@xyffard]

Kingdom hearts YES YES

[@TyuCytrus]

FF XV has some of the best songs. Somnus voiced and Omnis Lacrima are two other gems you need to hear

[@AtlasBenighted]

More FF will come for sure!

[@solitudeguard3138]

Ifrit’s theme is also great

[@Rithysak101]

[@AtlasBenighted]

Of course!, give Unwanted Nightmares a like!

[@Nerdlabor]

@@AtlasBenighted Yeah Somnus is great

[@spozznik9246]

I prefer Omnis lacrima but yeah its also a good one

[@mikigirl18]

Somnus is a beautiful and haunting piece. You'd love it!

[@wbgospel]

Great track, Yoko Shimomura is one of the best composers we have right now in videogame, all her works are amazing. Talking about Final Fantasy, nobody talks about Final Fantasy Type-0 OST which is one of the best and most epic. Just listen to the very first 2 tracks, Tempus Bellum and The Beginning of the End, I would like to hear what you have to say about it.

[@AtlasBenighted]

I feel like Frodo just about getting out of his house with the ring in comparison to what I envision what would be my journey with FF music 😄

[@ZanMindtrip]

Vermillion Fire is also amazing.

[@danthovict381]

Dont forget about her works in legend of mana

[@sguinn91]

Street Fighter 2, Super Mario Rpg, The Mario and Luigi series! She's amazing!

[@josuelafountaine5147]

You've gotta react to the Nier and Nier Automata soundtracks! Keichii Okabe is woefully overlooked. And the soundtrack for Nier Automata won the 2017 game awards award for best OST I recommend "A Beautiful Song - Nier Automata" "Bipolar Nightmare - Nier Automata" "Grandma - Nier" "Grandma (destruction) - Nier Automata" and "Song of the Ancients" from both. You wont regret it!

[@nonnon9917]

Yes, it must be Nier series, Keiichi Okabe is a God

[@AtlasBenighted]

Sure, give Josue a like please!

[@JetBalrog]

Oh man I completely agree, those soundtracks are so good!

[@sutekidane94]

The Final Fantasy franchise is filled with great music. If you’re going to continue with the reactions, then I would highly recommend these tracks from Final Fantasy X “To Zanarkand”, “Fleeting Dream”, “Assault”, “Via Purifico”, “Fight with Seymour”, “Contest of Aeons”, “Final Battle”, “Ending Theme”, “Otherworld”, “Suteki da ne (Orchestrated)”. I know it seems like a lot, but these are some of the absolute standouts among the soundtrack. It may take a few videos to fully react and experience them.

[@GunnzaEIR]

Yeah FFX has some of the best. FF8 also with "Man with the machine gun" and "the landing". I also really like the time compression theme in FF8

[@AtlasBenighted]

I'll keep doing them as long a you want them

[@Tuxedosnake00]

FF themes are not that complex. But'' To Zanarkand'' is a great piano piece. I feel the nostalgia in it even if I wasn't that much of a Fan

[@ShiroNekoDen]

@@AtlasBenighted I'd add clash on the big bridge (ffxii, xiv and xv) I'd also say react to all the music in final fantasy 14 after the other FF because the songs like to make call backs to older songs and mixes them with new stuff.

[@Shiro92224]

No one can really compare to Uematsu though

[@shinzotb9582]

You have to react to HellFire from FF15 ! (Boss Battle Theme)

[@AtlasBenighted]

[@ZanMindtrip]

Watching someone experience this song for the first time brought tears to my eyes.

[@AtlasBenighted]

I hope they were of joy 😄

[@ZanMindtrip]

@@AtlasBenighted yeah, it was. This is my favorite video game theme and the night I heard it in game is imprinted in my mind, seeing someone else getting blown away by this piece was amazing to watch.

[@diegoanthonyherrera9952]

@@AtlasBenighted i think the dude was sad because is just the break point of the game when She dies..

[@jamesbrittain3958]

its interesting how u bring up how some parts sound almost programed and others sound like they were preformed, as i believe the vibe they (square enix, the developers) were going with XV's setting was a semi-more-futuristic version of our world. u have lands that remind u of deserts and such, kinda like arizona, and then u have kingdoms out of a futuristic fantasy. kinda cool this was pointed out

[@Nimbo1805]

I second the sugestion of react to Valse di Fantastica, its an awesome piece 😊

[@AtlasBenighted]

More FF breakdowns will come!

[@spozznik9246]

The mashup with the slower version Sunset waltz, of the theme is truly wonderful its just incredible

[@LeethLee1]

Her music is amazing. I absolutely loved the old Kingdom Hearts songs too was my introduction to Yoko.

[@Sacrengard]

well, it is an actual boss music, and it does have a section where it loops, it is seamless, meaning that it has an intro, a looping section, and an ending. Music now in games are programmed to seamlessly transition when battle ends or start, etc.

[@danlyday7248]

For me. Apocalyptis nocris is my favorite video game moment ever. I'd collected everything this this moment went hard for me. Along with ifrit and bahamut moment.

[@SuperTyrannical1]

Final Fantasy 8 - Liberi Fatali

[@Neo-Midgar]

Dude I LOVE how you have Cynic's Focus up on display. Mad props.

[@AtlasBenighted]

You know your stuff mate!

[@lmj2k]

I went to a Distant Worlds concert a few years ago, and I heard a number of my favorites from the franchise there. Apocalypsis Noctis was one I enjoyed without playing one bit of Final Fantasy XV. There’s one piece from the Final Fantasy series I’d like to get your take on: “Heavensward” from Final Fantasy XIV. This was one I absolutely fell in love with when I heard it live at Distant Worlds, and again, I’ve not played one bit of Final Fantasy XIV. This is the title track that accompanies the trailer for the first expansion for this MMORPG.

[@isabelladelgado456]

Thanks, for the reaction :)

[@AtlasBenighted]

No problem 😊

[@gurnoorsekhon6402]

This is personally my favorite song from the franchise. I've heards many from FF series but nothing even remotely similar to this. Also it seems most of the supposed "best" songs by fans are biased due to nostalgia. I haven't played the games so just from music standpoint this is the best song I have heard from the series followed by hollow from ff7 remake ending.

[@luizbill119]

I wanna see your reaction to Final Fantasy XV - HELLFIRE too. Please!!!

[@AtlasBenighted]

More FF breakdown will come!

[@r.l.9986]

Free advice: music wise EVERY Final Fantasy composed by Nobuo Uematsu is EPIC.

[@AtlasBenighted]

So it seems to be the case

[@Jorge-pg4uc]

Except this was by yoko shimomura, put some recognition to my girls name

[@MyNameisRevenant]

If there is something that final fantasy never fail to impress is the music 🎶, that is in fact what aids me to remember everything about a story.

[@Shiro92224]

Best track in this game for sure, get goosebumps every time I hear it.

[@Skye_YTT]

"Sounds super epic" "sounds overwhelming" it's the music that plays whenever Gods are on screen so yeah I'd say that fits

[@Em-ox4cj]

Wonderful video dude! Another great track is Possessed By a Disease from Nier Automata (and if you listen, YES the singer is actually doing it herself! I thought it was manipulated!!)

[@jdkap201]

Spoiler Alert: Usage of Apocalypsis Noctis inside the game This track is used as a battle theme for one specific battle, namely where your objective is to kill the god Titan. A similar, yet different version called "Apocalypsis Aquarius" is played at the battle with Leviathan (Goddess of the Sea). For the latter: as the track starts to play you enter kind of a god-mode yourself where you are flying and unlimited combos are possible. The intro sequence of both these tracks plays once and after that the rest of these two songs loop with the end sequence cut off. Funfact: The chants in Apocalypsis Noctis are in Latin and, as far as I know, all chants in Final Fantasy OSTs are.

[@AtlasBenighted]

I want to read it sooo baaad 😆

[@jdkap201]

@@AtlasBenighted Short spoiler free Version: It is a somewhat special boss battle theme 😉

[@jackseatgaming2556]

Nope, not all of them, FFX are scrambled japanese syllabes (they did something like read the left to right, or top to bottom or some shit) . I know theres a pattern and when you put them back together and it turna into actual japanese. FFXI also uses esperanto, a language invented in the 19th century.

[@craig4002]

More constructive comment rather than request here. I think the European aesthetic is spot on. The Tribal drums I thought could be akin maybe to medieval knights and soldiers perhaps that had war drums which is kinda still European. The piece is truly wonderful though. With regards to the looping since it is a game and this is boss music. I think the looping is so mild that you kinda don't notice it. I think if you watch someone playing the leviathan boss fight you get so into the fight and the intensity of the music that you don't pick up the loop that easily. It's like the song is just going and going and every now and then you hear something different or spectacular and you just get more eager and the moment just intensifies. Well done

[@AtlasBenighted]

Thanks a lot Neko!

This song has like four versions and they all slap, but a. magnatus is by far the best

[@valentinschreyl8220]

How do you think they did this powerful "struck" at the beginning or at 3:52? How does one even do that in an orchestra?

[@AtlasBenighted]

That's a percussive hit just processed through effects to make it sound like that. In a live setting that would be very hard to achieve unless of course you are running in through the same FX chain you used in the mix, or you are playing it in a room that has tons of reverb!

[@glen3133]

while i recognize that this is a good song in itself, it cannot hold up to tracks like ravus aeterna, invidia (or any of the niflheim battle tracks), or, by god, the battle for the crown city. apocalypsis noctis is more of an emotional drive, but only in those respective scenes noctis goes apocalypse but honestly, hellfire go crazy the most, no exceptions

[@RyuzakiFan1]

Because the other awesome suggestions here haven't created a big enough list for you 😂 A venture into FFXIII would be nice. The first songs that come to mind for me is Born Anew or Fang's Theme. However... if you felt like going a little insane, peruse all three albums in your own time (XIII, XIII-2, and LR) and then listen to Almighty Bhunivelze. That track is long, but it is a mindblowing medley across the entire series. I'm really enjoying your videos!

[@Tackleberry61]

@Atlas, you should seriously think about doing reactions and break downs of Final Fantasy XIV music. They're all over KZbin, albeit with gameplay in the background, as those are the rules. The game has been around and thriving since 2013, and has so many great and beautiful tracks, that it's hard to suggest which ones. At the very least, maybe you could listen to just the opening Full Cinematic trailers for A Realm Reborn, Heavensward, Storm Blood, and Shadowbringers. Shadowbringers arguably being the best expansion for FFXIV thus far. :) They should all be watchable from Square Enix's official KZbin channel.

I think this song is ok. To me it lacks dynamic, it sounds like the average “epic sounding” movie/game trailer song. It’s bombastic for what seems lime 70% of the time. I feel like the composers were saying to me “hey, this song is supposed to spund EPIC. Do you feel the EPIC???? What about more EPIC???”. Which brings me to the moral of the story: too much of a good thing can do more bad than good.

[@Tohlemiach]

The main melody part sounds way too much like the Dragonborn theme. Makes it hard to enjoy the rest of the song because that's all I can think about now.
