[@sirparadigm2241]

I love this theme, and it can be legitimately terrifying to have this thing focus on you in particular.

[@Skystrike12]

Good choice, i’ve sunk wayyyyyyy too much time into World for the amount of time it was active.

[@Ofnir_Grabacr_]

The part of the theme where the base and the saturation get ramped up to 11 is a unique mechanic of the fight. Essentially, the Safi’jiiva fight is a 4 vs. 1, four hunters vs the dragon. However, during this phase of the fight, Safi’jiiva begins exclusively targeting 1 player. He ignores the rest of the team and does everything in his power to kill 1 targeted teammate. The targeted teammate gets the saturated version of the theme so long as Safi is targeting them.

Punching a thorn!

[@YueYukii]

Im a MHW fan and i loved how the devs makes the music an integral part of the fight filling us with emotions while we try to win. With safi the fight is intense from the beggining as show in the first phase but then in second phase we discover safi have a Ultimate attack that instantly wipe the party unless you protect yourself behind some boulders, so here the fight intensifies as you have to be aware of your positioning and start running when he is about to do it. Then the 3rs phase you are still strugling but more close to victory and the music encourage you to keep going! I really loved this fighg and theme

[@LuxZoltan]

The feeling when Safi it's focus on you and you hear the pulse, it's full adrenaline and tensión

[@flagmuffin1221]

The pulse in the "mid-section" (it's a medley after all) is actually Safi's heart - the hunter that draws his "ire" during the fight hears it above everything else as well.

[@DapimpBDSD]

"It's trying to give you that Ultimate pump!" Every hunter whose heard Proof of a Hero knows this feeling

[@azrael5493]

Safi'jiva is a legendary "Red Dragon", classified as a Dangerous First Class Monster, who stand head and shoulders above every other monster. They are apocalyptic in nature. Safi in particular is a massive creature that can absorb living energy from it's environment for not only healing his body but for bolstering his attacks. He's so powerful that he's considered a "Siege" hunt, where multiple people up to 16 get into a lobby together and take turns dealing as much damage as possible, being so insanely powerful that it's almost impossible to kill it in a single hunt, but it has been done.

[@Jpmrocks7]

It's not classified as a Dangerous First Class. There in lore rumors of it possibly being one, but there's not any research because lore wise, only 1 has been discovered. Researchers think it has the potential to rival black dragons, but there's zero confirmation.

[@azrael5493]

Fatalis OST is a must now, hehe.

[@thecringeprophet]

Something cool that monster hunter does with its ost is use previous motifs from other songs that are embedded into your mimd such as proof of a hero or the main theme for that particular mh game. They use bits of those songs in huge important hunts such as safi jiiva. 10:23 has a bit of proof of a hero which all hunters know by heart.

[@TruePeaceSeeker]

Dude, seriously great breakdown and reaction. Safi was such a hype when it was announced due to the player only fighting the juvenile form in the base game called Xeno'Jiiva. The series has a lot of outstanding music to the point Capcom arranges orchestra concert annually just for MH. My top suggestions would be 1. Shara Ishvalda (a LOT to unpack here with the use of balinese instruments and eastern themes) 2. Allmother Narwa (surge of emotion and epicness) 3. Alatreon (chaos and unstability)

[@AtlasBenighted]

Thanks!

[@johncronk8867]

@@AtlasBenighted I’d recommend you listen to the Themes of Wind Serpent Ibushi and Thunder Serpent Narwa before Allmother Narwa (preferably in a medley of all 3), as Allmother Narwa is a cumulation of the previous two.

[@proudlarry8225]

So... about that heartbeat everyone is surely telling you about when the dragon focuses its attention on you... In an earlier Capcom game, known as Dragon's Dogma, a great red dragon literally steals your beating heart right out of your chest at the beginning of the game- -and keeps you alive via magic, in order that you may grow strong and grant it the death it desires.

Oh mah lawd finally another mh reaction yessss

[@thecringeprophet]

For real

[@HarryPotter-uv8yp]

That sub-bass part is particular to one moment in particular. This colossal, crimson dragon the size of a building has just locked eyes on you. YOU. Amongst all the other hunters, among even other GODS, he has no eyes for any other except YOU. And the Crimson Emperor has nothing but vitriol for your continued existence. Amongst countless godly monsters you’ve faced to this point, your hunter has rarely if ever felt the primal fear of BEING hunted. At least, not until THAT moment. And all your poor hunter can do is run. Hide. Pray. They can barely think straight through their heartbeat trying to claw its way out of their chest. Not that you don’t have control, of course. It’s just that hard to differentiate the horror your character is feeling with your own.

[@RasenCore]

YES this one is such an epic banger

[@Jonahv10]

All the monster hunter themes have a lot of complex lore, and each theme has a name in fact! Safi's theme is known as "For the Emperor's Amusement". I actually compile these themes within a document in a sort of Wikipedia fashion for monster hunter soundtracks, if you would like, I can give you some access to specific parts for whatever themes from this series you decide to listen to!

Teostra (og, World and Rise) Mizutsune (og and Rise ver.) Zinogre (og, Iceborne and Rise ver.) The Gorge from MH Frontier (Low Rank, High Rank and G Rank ver.) Inagami (from MH Frontier) Crimson Fatalis (you can watch the og or the 2 phases from Frontier) Ukanlos Vaal Hazaak (a masterpiece) Namielle (Really like this one) Brachydios (og, Iceborne ver. and Raging Brachydios for comparison) Malzeno's theme Stars at our backs Bazelgeuse (og and rise ver.) Rajang (MHW Iceborne and og) Chameleos (Rise version) Cedaus theme Odibatorasu (From MH Frontier, wich is a spin off game) Alatreon (the og and the Iceborne version) Valstrax (the original version) Fatalis (Iceborne ver.) Blood Bath Diablos/ Demon Massacre Diablos (it's very good) Nergigante (regular and Arch Tempered) Magnamalo Velkhana (also regular and Arch Tempered) The three Magalas (you can use either the original versions or the ones from Sunbreak, I recommend you watch those three in the same video)

[@hayest.68]

NAHHH HE DID IT Edit- you did get the amount of phases in the fight right, that being 3, but I couldn’t actually tell you the difference between phase 1 and 2 in the track, if there even is one. That’s because what you named the second phase is actually the variation you hear when the monster is targeting you, which is a big mechanic of this fight. There are a few other in-game related things that happen in the track, for example when it goes silent before the third phase, it’s dropping a nuke that you have to hide behind rocks to survive (which can happen at any point after phase 1, not just before 3). Overall it’s really cool what they did tying the fight to the music 👍👍 I recommend looking at some other MH tracks too, so far you’ve only done the 2 raid bosses that everyone tunes out because of how much you have to grind them

[@dragondadvillaro7975]

HES A, GENTLE, SIMPLE, SAILOR!

[@extremebomber]

The second phase theme only plays for the hunter Safi'Jiiva hard focuses on, making it much more tense. Monster Hunter monsters usually never hard focus hunters.

Day 92 of requesting House of Sacred Remains from Castlevania: Lament of Innocence. Beautifully atmospheric track and one of my fave's from video games in general. It'd be awesome to hear what you think of it. It's the theme of a level set starting from a cathedral and ending in the crypts through lots of library areas, it's not a particularly significant or infamous level at all but I think the track really reflects the hallowed grounds housing sacred relics beautifully. The 4 minute upload from the Castlevania Sound Team is the one to listen to.

[@maskedmenreiki]

It does in fact have lyrics, but most of them are in Wyverian. In the official version, it was learned that one of the common recurring phrases chanted in the song translates to "The king of all things, the perfect being," which of course is a descriptor of the monster himself, having been born as the antithesis to the closest monster the series has to a villain. Additionally, a large portion of the theme plays dynamically during the fight with Safi'jiiva, which is what makes it so memorable for many players.
