“Have you visit Yanxia?”

this man is just a walking meme generator in disguise as an amazing composer

I love the delayed laugh at 0:50, the audience slowly and collectively realising what is about to unfold

I love how even his silly little "okay" broke his composure.

They keep him on the otamatone in public so he doesn't accidentally release new music before the next dlc

[@discountdisco2273]

This is what Zenos heard when walking around in Yanxia!

[@Alnora]

And to think we almost lost him.

[@CanisMythson]

The reason he does it this way is because were he to be holding an actual instrument for more then thirty seconds, the audience would perish, unable to handle Soken's true potential.

[@plumdowner1941]

Soken himself has become the otomatone, he is growing more powerful by the day.

[@erdnuzz8368]

I still wanna make Soken a Korpokkur Otomatone :D

[@lunajoyxiv]

omg that would be amazing!

[@cherrydragon3120]

😂😂 i love this man so much 😂😂 He's by far one of the best composers. Not just for his music, but also his humor

[@ahorseofcourse7283]

Everything Soken does is magical.

[@samurainoryuu]

How does he do that with a straight face?! 🤣

[@pkg946]

Slight correction for your description there, if you don't mind- "Civilizations" is actually the day theme for the Rak'tika Greatwood, the *other* song Soken's performed at a fanfest with an Otomatone. The day theme for Yanxia is called "A Father's Pride".

[@shiro3146]

the La Hee Song right?

[@MewMeg]

But should we now calling it "A community's Pride"?

[@CoolCactuar]

more popular song, likely used wrong one for keywords

[@runningfishpro]

MUSIC. START.

[@SweetyMiki]

I remember being in the audience in 2018 and losing it at his screaming the latter part of the theme lmao. Man was amazing there, especially when he was paired with a member from the community team just dancing across the stage during Lakshmi's theme.

[@sammicopor]

Im still in stormblood, im very close to entering shadowbringers. I cant wait until I can visit tural. I will be playing this game with the viper & pictomancer. Just sucks that its rare that the roulette ever calls for a dps & when it does its uaually for a raid.

[@Naryoril]

The reason why alliance raids often have dps as adventurer in need is that a party there consists of 1 tank, 2 healers and 5 dps, where otherwise it's 2 tanks , 2 healers and 4 dps (or 1/1/2), so there are relatively more DPS slots to fill for alliance raids. Interesting side note: In the beginning it was the same party makeup as everywhere else, but since you have 3 parties in there, you ended up with 6 tanks. And i guess designing good fights that really make use of 6 tanks is difficult, especially if it's supposed to be casual content. So none of the fights were designed for 6 tanks, but for 1 or 3. Do you remember the king bemeoth fight in Labyrinth of the Ancients? The fight where the boss drops meteors you have to hide behind? There are 3 towers on the outer edge of the arena, and to floor continually deals very low damage (i think). Back in the day, the damage of the floor was higher, and a tank was just deposited at each of the towers, doing nothing but interacting with it from time to time to turn off the damage floor... It was changed at some point between the releases of the first ARR alliance raid and the first HW alliance raid, don't remember when exactly.
