FFXIV - Give it all (Wicked Thunder OST) 1 HOUR - The Arcadion

Since this music is absolutely bangin.. here you go with a 1 hour version.
This is the background OST of the Boss Wicked Thunder in Arcadion AAC light-heavyweight M4.
They four new raids felt very unique and refreshing and it makes me hyped for the savage prog and what is upcoming.. if you haven't done the normal raids, definetly give them a try!!

Hope everyone is enjoying the game that came with your album preorder, i swear soken has hijacked this whole expac, all the while YoshiP is running his villain arc making the super casual sweat just a tiny bit more

[@kiwipops]

The lyrics are so sad actually :( Poor Eutrope "A girl looked up at the stars and dared to dream... I realized that girl is gone, she's gone, I'm gone. I had it all or so I thought, traded tomorrow for a lie"

@@soliquidsnake3990 I liked the bomber guy's style. He just starting Doping in the middle a match and when the ref bot comes in he just punches him in the face.

[@wikitiki209]

sounds like the best of rwby

[@Pikachu-qr4yb]

What she’s implying

[@kiwipops]

@@Pikachu-qr4yb That she and the other fighters in the Arcadion push their limits for the sake of an unreachable dream, sacrificing their futures for fame and glory that isn’t real. Every time they shift their form using souls it causes damage to their own. So for daring to dream, she’s now punished to die early. And the President who owns the Arcadion knows this and is manipulating the fighters for his own gain (as far as we know)

[@SteveNGarth]

I do hope the Primals put out a music video of this with the original singer

[@hitokage4]

Oh heck yeah I would love that!

[@Zakjuh]

Please Square keep it up. If every tier is as good as this (unique music per fight, mechanics that make you pay attention, thematically distinguished), it'll be the best raid series by far, in my opinion. Strongest start to a raid I've seen.

[@KurisuHan]

It kinda sounds like a mixture between The Twinning and Insatiable. Shit slaps

"Tonight our city bleeds red, blue, and green" Totally talking about the role colors

[@Badger3X]

These comments actually got me thinking, because I always thought it was an odd choice of phrase, but combined with "The colors in my mind are fading, gone, they're gone" makes me think the psychonecrosis is literally causing her to lose her ability to see color. The vibrant colors of the bright neon city are fading, the colors "bleeding" away

[@Corvus7159]

@@Badger3X That may be too literal imo. It could mean losing hope, herself ("somebody help I'm losing what's left of me" also adds to this), etc. Color fading often symbolizes aspects loss and loss itself. But that's the beauty of art: it's open to interpretation, so neither of us are wrong necessarily.

[@Badger3X]

@@Corvus7159 Perhaps, and we might not get concrete confirmation, but she said she was noticing symptoms which is what prompted her to seek out the others before her. We currently have no context for what that means, and atm it's an interesting headcannon for me.

[@codegiver60]

I love this raid series. While being in the raid, I noticed it felt less "raidy" if that made sense. The other enclosed, dark pallet colored raids just feel dreadful and, when accompanied by long durations spent there, they feel aggravating. However, these ones felt enjoyable, like I wasn't in a raid at all. The banger music is an added bonus.

[@RicardoSantos-oz3uj]

That's because it had better story and pacing than the MSQ.

[@meitomiyazaki9848]

I’m somewhat confident that they are setting up the president of the AAC federation to be the last boss of the 3rd tier based on what they told us in the scenes (unless they make it a tier 2 thing in which case they have to come up with something else to be fight 12 I guess)

[@echovalkyr96]

It's going to full be like : 2nd category has 4 opponents, and 3rd 3 then last boss is the president

Rough lyrics, there's some bits I can't figure out though that are probably wrong ^^;;. They're so sad and powerful >; Tonight our city bleeds red, blue and green, As I walk in the dark, unseen. My lost greatness I was draped in, The colours in my mind are fading, gone. They’re gone, they’re gone, all gone. A girl looks to the stars and dares to dream, Of the world shaking, her mark is seen. I stand strong in my mirror, staring back I realise that girl is gone, She’s gone, she’s gone, I’m gone, Climbed every mountain, made it to the top, I had it all, or so I thought. Traded tomorrow for a lie And found the price too high. My clock is ticking, counting down to naught, I’m out of time, why did it stop? I'll bet my life before it's lost, The final line I'll cross. Ain’t no going back, no going back, no going back no. My light left here inside, I’ll suffocate if that’s what it takes, oh. A thousand men to cast me aside, Turn their backs and leave me to die. You can try, can try, come try but I will survive. No going back, no going back, no never, you'll never again know me. No going back, no going back, no coming back from the edge. Look in my eyes, yeah I know you’ll understand. (Somebody help, my misery’s taking me.) Made up my mind now there ain’t no going back. (Somebody help, I’m losing what’s left of me.) Made up my mind, now my heart’s demanding, I’m ready to fight til’ there’s one left standing. Tonight, lightning will strike, thunder will follow, You’re gonna give it all to me, To me, to me, to me, I gotta believe you’ll set me free. Tonight my circle finally comes complete, At last, up from the dark I’m free. The music’s swelling, crowd is chanting, For this moment fear’s an afterthought. It’s gone, it’s gone, all gone. I look out to the crowd and there I see A thousand little ghosts of me. I’ll turn the tables there, I’m fighting back. I’ll bring the lightning, now it’s on. It’s on, it’s on, you’re gone. (repeat bridge & chorus)

[@chainsawenthusiast8261]

Thanks, your version of the lyrics seems pretty accurate

[@Magna842]

I think the final line of the pre chorus is something to do with "...the final line I'll cross!" And line betore that sounds like "...my life before its lost." Dunno what the words before that are though, it does sound like build, but that doesnt make sense to me Further, i think its "Thunder will fall," not follow

so pissed i got both loot drops from aac4 , could not enjoy the score more than once this week :(

[@MetalMaidenDeth]

Based on the concept of the final zone I believe we are going to fight her as the penultimate boss of the series and then go through phase of helping her accept that her life is over and to make peace with it then deal with the little sisters and help them see that she will "never truly be gone" and proceed forward accepting loss. However we have only a few forced moments where we can't do anything or find a solution and the worst happens so we may have a happy ending. I will be more affected by the former but I would be very happy with either ending. Just a theory based on the lyrics as well.

[@TechnoMinded-qp5in]

My god I played Final Fantasy and I am tempting to convert from World of Warcraft is it too late to join Final Fantasy XIV being 31 playing MMORPGs since middle school? The boss music is badass compared to World of Warcraft which I swear they make bad rip off versions of Final Fantasy bosses they keep screwing with the cap levels as well and it's irritating the hell out of me.

[@exoryyt]

its never to late to start with a new mmo! especially since ff14 has a free trial where you can play the full game up intil the 3rd expansion.. with some feature limitations ingame ofc. but no matter what kind of player you are, you will definetly find a fitting group of players for your need. ff14 players are usually very social and forward. so no matter if you just wanna socialize and RP or do hardcore raiding or just casual stuff. there is allways a fitting party for you. since it's also a very story-focused mmorpg.. alot of things feel like they have way more personality through that. its the same with this song.. the lyrics are ki nd of related to the story of the raid itself which gives alot more power to the fight imo

[@exoryyt]

anyways. just give it a shot with the free trial.. and if you really like it you can just upgrade. I bet you wont regret it!

Play it for what the game is and not a 1:1 comparison to other mmos, it's well worth the time investment.
