If you like Nick's voice, you should definitely check out his channel ! He does covers too, and he deserves way more recognition Would you like more vocals on my covers by the way ?

[@16ninjashadow]

Always enjoy vocal covers.

[@austriab1]

Yes, I'm always a big fan of the lyrics in FFXIV. Now that being said there's still a slot of good about the instrumental covers you usually do, so it's a win-win for me at least.

[@AstreaGT]

100 times yes.

[@Esperian]

More vocal covers would be great ! Hearing people sing along to your sick beats is a treat.

[@JohnDCrafton]

Yes, more vocals please If you could redo the ARR Primal themes with vocals, that would be amazing!

[@jessecox]

Hell yes! Get it gobbie boys!

[@Joeyfield0]

I didn't know you played ffxiv. Did dodger finally convince you to, or was it someone else?

[@mutantpotato42]

@@Joeyfield0 He's been playing on Twitch for a few months now. He started getting into it once he hit the 2.0 postgame. Check out the VOD's for his amazing voiceacting!

[@Nimoot]

@@Joeyfield0 He's got adorable reactions to the end of 5.0 & 5.3. It's precious.

[@7Celestron]

@@Nimoot could ya link to his twitch my man?

[@Nimoot]

@@7Celestron Uh.... he posted it on his KZbin... go click it?

[@TheRedMage01]

It's so weird being able to understand the lyrics

[@StudioNicktendo]

I mean... kind of the correct lyrics 😏😂😁

[@Talinthis]

I'll be honest i still cant understand most of it

[@Raptor747]

I still can't understand a lot of them, but the fact that I can tell that even the ones I can't understand are words is a huge improvement all by itself. He did a fantastic job!

[@StudioNicktendo]

I tried my best to take the "official lyrics" and make sense of them 😂😂 I hope everyone enjoyed it!

[@reeses7839]

The pain. I know it. You did excellently.

[@vincentleon843]

This is fire!!! You sir are a freaking king! Thank you for this! I love this song so much and you both just made it better!!!

[@maightandmagic]

absolute fire, i honestly didn't think the track could be any more lit than it was. definitely got a sub from me for you! i look forward to more of your work!

[@Joeyfield0]

I was expecting gibberish, glad I actual words. Unless I looked up the lyrics, I had not idea they were spelling Alexander.

[@CloudedPeach]

Instant subscribe. Your passion is everything!

[@ashyronfire]

HOLY CRAP SOMEONE ACTUALLY MANAGED TO DO THE LYRICS OF THIS

[@GreyRush]

This is probably the best vocal cover I’ve heard of this. This song is so so hard to do vocals for, so absolutely amazing performance.

[@spencermerritt3891]

Just makes it that more amazing that the vocals are normally done by the FFXIV Localization lead.

[@proudlarry8225]

The first time anyone hears this fight: What am I hearing? This is so stupid. The second time anyone hears this fight: *A-tothe-L-tothe-E-X-ANDER*

[@vaimantobe3034]

Most people the 30th time: *trying to sing along but singing gibberish because they didn't catch what is sung*

[@Doodrun]

My question is who thought that first one EVER? o-o This song slapped the first time, and still slaps every other time after.

[@tribblesfoxfolk]

A good remix of Rise, though it does remind me that the heavily-tuned voices of the original kind of made the lyrics more...”Alexander”, like more machine and kept in theme with Locus and Exponential Entropy. I do appreciate the time-stop interlude; the timestops in Rise were some of my favorite moments, because it added a lot of flavor to Alexander, The Creator. He controls time to the point where he stops time on a meta level (the music and your buffs). Honestly would love to see a stand-alone minimix of the time-stop music from Rise, because it was so good here.

[@OmegaMapDesign]

You, who would inherit the future... You have proven yourself... worthy.

[@BreakOddz]

I just love how Nicktendo looks like he's having a blast of a time being the vocals.

[@SpartanMJO12]

Very hard song to sing along to - he's not done a bad job there to say he hasn't edited his voice!

[@jacobposey8665]

Anyone else notice the dancing lalafell on the table behind husky? It is at 1:02

[@Huskybythegeek]

My Lalafell filled up my Limit Break gauge

[@ryno4ever433]

@@Huskybythegeek Lala for life!!!

[@ManxoChu]

Last time I was this quick, I had to go forward and back and then forward and back and then forward and back...

[@jtspender]

Anyone else get a TWEWY vibe from the first half of this before the time stop? I can totally imagine that section as one of the main tracks of the sequel. Also: just as we've seen that adding the Prelude to just about anything will make it more awesome, I think at this point we can safely say the same for The Maker's Ruin.

[@json13th79]

Someone named Alexander: " A TO THE L TO THE E - X ANDER!!! *THIS MY SHIT BOIII*

[@StudioNicktendo]

I'm dead 😂😆

[@suzleber4]

I love that part! Almost like some Crooked I flow. Well done!

[@SuperIchi]

It's my actual middle name so I'm enjoying the hell out of this

[@Raignes]

Holy crap, he absolutely nailed the rap and your guitar section for the timestop killed it. Great job both of you!

[@daniil5352]

The cover I've wanted for a while but didn't actually think would happen. Love this!

[@pinkpeonies3236]

Agreed!! Nick's voice complete's Husky's guitar cover! Well done you two!! Great cover!

[@Draykahr]

Love that lalafell dancing in the background =D

[@maightandmagic]

another banger my dude, and great work done by nick on the vocals!! y'all work well together, i'd -love- to see more from you both. bring alex in, too. let's JUST BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY TOGETHER

[@blackh9604]

Man you guys are awesome! This sounds amazing!

[@tomosato7788]

Still come back to this when I need the energy. A masterpiece cover full of energy on some hard vocals, right during that gloom and doom of the pandemic when it was just starting. A great pick me up.

[@_Farlan_]

Great job, as always!

[@jonathangille8643]

You both did one hell of a job on this nice!

[@Conzjonz]

[@santapoca]

[@Varizen87]

Killin it with the Collabs, Husky.

[@SirAmfion]

What a phenomenal cover! Great work by Nick, love that you included the timestop segment and the little interlude with Maker's Ruin was just YES!

[@rhaganadoomslayer]

Ooooooh! THOSE are the lyrics! Also this is amazing!

[@ryanrushford7918]

Guys... you both absolutely nailed this. Amazing.

[@tiffanythompson4056]

Fantastic job both of you! Making me nostalgic for HW.

[@cg_sidd1745]

I've listened to this video at least 20 times now. I cannot get enough. Nick, your voice is great for this.

[@Blackdragon1686]

Yoooo both of you are amazing on this one! It had to be a hard one on vocals especially

[@thePG101]

Nick is slaying!! Love the collab cover you two!

[@rhael42]

I don't remember how long I've wanted this cover, but I so glad it finally happened and it's this fire

[@ahorseofcourse7283]

Holy hell, the pipes on this man! Husky, you need to do more collaborations, this cover was magnificent!

[@the_makers_ruin]

I think this may be my favorite of all your covers, and that's saying something!

[@Colday]

This made me get PUMPED my dudes, the guitar playing and the VOCALS WOW! So DAMN good.

[@Xiadilian]

One of my favorite songs from FFXIV, the vocals were very well done, especially in the second half!

[@ThePaido]

Bravo! This song is among my favorites! Je suis bien content que tu aies choisi de faire un cover de cette pièce! As for Studio Nicktendo, he's definitely doing an amazing job! Je suis un nouveau fan!

[@Flowinz]

Oh yes! This is friggin amazing :D i can't wait to hear your take on the new emerald weapon music. Hoping to one day see that in my feed

[@nnymeia7663]

EPIC you never disappoint 👏

The section at 1:53 is SO DAMN GOOD, oh my god. It gives me flashes of RichaadEB's Undertale covers, and i absolutely adore it

[@WaxNeverwane]

Magnificent as always.

Fantastic cover you two! hot damn

[@katsu3249]

PAR-FAIT ! Ca donne la pêche pour le week-end.

[@philipgodin7222]

Fuuuuck me, found me a new musician to follow along with! Nicktendo's pipes are SOLID, and his plucking and composition are wonderfully refreshing yet criminally unnoticed. Great collab!

[@MaisieSqueak]

This is incredibly well done!!!... What a voice too! This man must have amazing sound proofing... Or very very angry neighbors.
