My man your doing Gods work with this and also in the name of the Phoenix too game is so hype lol

[@Joshua-qn3xj]

Also you should make a community of ff 16 fans like us plus I love yer banner on yer KZbin it’s very cool

[@Barnabas_]

Joshua? I thought you were dead. 💀 Yeah man, i'm extremely excited for this game. Can't wait!

[@Joshua-qn3xj]

Nice DMC vibes mixed with FF work’s splendidly

[@Barnabas_]

I will maybe create a discord for FF16 fans. Will work on it this week end. :)

[@anthonyxjamal]

Im so happy to see how many people throughly enjoyed the music and the dynamic shift as it was happening just like I did. nothing like that FIRST initial feeling when the music shifted FLAWLESSLY into battle mode. pure bliss

[@jjc101]

It's when I knew the moment-to-moment gameplay will be just as good as the story and world. I will happily spend hours out in overworlds in FFXIV simply because the music does such a great job of immersing me, and it looks like XVI will be no different

[@anthonyxjamal]

@jjc101 I couldn't agree more. it had me thinking of all the possibilities and different areas and how grand and dynamic ALL of that music will be. the album is coming out next month and it's SEVEN freaking discs...thats too damn glorious and has me so excited!

[@TamsinV]

FF7 Remake did this too. I hope it's a new standard for FF going forward, because I will never get tired of it.

[@theflashgordon193]

Dynamic music is one of the best thing that happened to video game music

[@sparces]

This is actually something Yasunori Nishiki is famous for (Octopath's composer). He worked on some music for FF7R and possibly assisted with this game as well, so it makes sense that they all have seamless music transitions :)

[@twakilon]

So many bangers in a 2 hour demo this one ends up being underrated

[@ryanrushford7918]

I know lol how insane is the rest of the game gonna be? Super hyped for tomorrow!!!

[@user-wy1et9dk9w]

It’s true

[@bf5881]

So incredible. Has such a luxurious feel to it. Cool music to battle to.

[@alexandrostype-2211]

This has the vibe of that good old Phantasy Star Online game (Dreamcast). Hauntingly beautiful song

[@anthonyxjamal]

bro no lie! phantasy star vibes absolutely! wow, you're too correct

[@TylerEdlin84]

yes it does!

[@will7329]

Also agreed. "Abysmal ball -intermission-" from Episode 2 comes to mind.

[@kcstacielynn]

Thank you SO much!! This battle theme has been stuck in my head since the demo! I love listening to it! Can't wait to get the album when it drops.

[@anthonyxjamal]

I cannot wait to get the album. pure fucking bliss

[@jamesdiato]

I been humming this song a lot ever since the demo LOL

[@theflashgordon193]

same this song can't get away of my head

[@xTrickz_EliTex]

Thank you King Barnabas! Been looking for this one for a while

[@ssoda8565]

thank you bro 💪💪 hardest song in the demo imo

[@jumpylion2580]

This song is like fallen straight out of heaven to us 😊

[@bellybell-14]

Was waiting for this one. Love it.

[@chaolihai-innit]

This sounds like if Soken and Hamauzu made a track together.

[@judeobscure5064]

That would be heaven

[@river_g]

This shows how much range Soken has

[@PlazDreamweaver]

​@@river_gHe's working with a team, he's not the sole composer.

[@theflashgordon193]

yeah this remind me some ff13-2 tracks

[@Valor72]

This is a perfect comment, that is so true

[@JaxonElzinga]

I can't wait for if and when you find the OST used for the Awakening trailer. Nobody has officially released that theme yet, but I'm just waiting for when it drops. It's just the perfect music, especially that "Come follow me" bit at the end.

[@river_g]

I hope it’s even in the game

[@KatanaRikku]

I’ve listened to ending part so many times I hope to god it’s in the game

[@alejandromomota6934]

God I know this is a tutorial area but I wish the enemies were much stronger so we could enjoy the beautiful music and the excellent battle gameplay.

[@ghostofhallownest5300]

Hands down one of my if not favorite track in the game!! It reminds me of FFX!

[@AngelEscalera]

Im glad some of us had to comeback to this it was truly a masterpiece!

[@kingoverseas9052]

Nicely done!

[@HiCZoK]

fucking hell this is too good

[@annabanana1336]

I get chills, every time.

[@ebreeziee4741]

This song is so fireee love to see you all feel the same way i cant wait to play this game fully

[@AngelEscalera]

Went to Distant Worlds in Chicago yesterday it was amazing but I wanted some of these tracks to be performed overall amazing experience

[@mirrormimi]

The first minute gives me FFXIII ost vibes, and I consider that the highest praise possible.

[@CJTranceAddiction]

Seriously? FFXIII is my least favourite FF soundtrack. Not a fan of Hamauzu's style really.

[@a.g8969]

FFXIII is utter trash. Most forgettable ost in FF

[@CJTranceAddiction]

@@RelevantMacaroon I love FFX’s Zanarkand. FFVIIR IS GREAT but it’s mostly uematsu

[@chaolihai-innit]

@@CJTranceAddiction Pretty sure Uematsu worked on one track for 7R and it's Hollow. The others were remixes and new tracks made by other people, including Hamauzu.

[@theerealatm]

​@@a.g8969you trippin. Sabers edge! Fangs Theme! To fight Lcie! Nautilus! March of the Dreadnoughts! Decisive Battle! I haven't even played ff13 ever. I just love the soundtrack.

[@wiseguy240Winston]

Reminds me of FF12 but the vocals sre like 13.

[@alejandromomota6934]

It sucks you never go back to this area as of right now, and I’m pretty sure I’m almost finished😢 makes sense since it’s a stage and not a field ig

[@sam.246]

you can at least buy the track to play on the Orchestrion!

[@silviangc8486]

Epic

[@Chisato_Strafe]

this gives some space fantasy vibe ... very fantasy

[@palazzo1113]

I hear a fair deal of FFX in this. The whole ost is peppered with love letters to 8, 9, and 10. But it's still very much its own thing. It just knows where it came from, if that makes sense.

[@RavusNox-z5i]

It does bro 😊

[@Markus.Vidal247]

And I feel this is better than them all!

[@palazzo1113]

@@Markus.Vidal247 It... really freaking is, dude. I find this entire game to be the shot in the arm the FF series needed for well over a damn decade.

[@travisbrown3776]

2nd best normal battle theme in the game behind greatwood imo

[@marcross.]

Is this an unlockable orchestrion for the hideout?

[@AM-tw5rv]

What are the lyrics im trying to find it but no luck ??

[@nikitapigusov2849]

Finally Soken no longer has FFXIV limitations and he can do stuff like this. Incredible!

[@dargons5145]

what limitations?

[@nikitapigusov2849]

@@dargons5145 Well, FFXIV is an MMO and requires a new patch every few months. This puts more pressure on the devs and Soken is no exception. Then you have adaptive music (when you're in battle it becomes more moving and after calms down). There are no examples of this in 14. And last but not least - the budget.

[@dargons5145]

@@nikitapigusov2849 ff14's budget is most likely friggin massive. that game is prolly square's breadwinner considering the subscription model and microtransactions and so on. Also, soken was working on this game for a while now, and still working on ff14 at the same time, so if anything this is only added pressure for him. adaptive music is a big plus tho

[@KY-gv6oo]

@@nikitapigusov2849 16 was produced alongside 14. It is not like he just drops everything on 14 to work on 16. Whatever "pressure" you claim there is he definitely had it while doing 16. Also contrary to what you believe in,14 and 16 music share some mutual influences. You can find the elements of the Eureka theme from 14 in 16's battle theme. Given how they are developed in parallel, one cannot say which one comes first, but the influence on one is anything but limited by the other.

[@braigybraig]

​​@@nikitapigusov2849 There actually is adaptive music in the Crystal Tower and Coils raids. They haven't really done it since ARR though for whatever reason.

[@Skadi.-]

Battle version > Normal version for me

[@theflashgordon193]

agree

[@ilikestuff9250]

Heavy Sakimoto vibes. Perfect for a game of this make.

[@Eric19361]

This one has a strange reverberating quality to it. Kind of like a helicopter flying overhead. There’s something uncomfortable about it

[@terellkid1]

Better graphics than ff7 rebirth 😂
