"Metal" with Official Lyrics (The Manipulator Theme) | Final Fantasy XIV

[@Crawver]

I love how goblin music just seems to be them threatening people about how badly they're going to injure and kill you. I wish we had more gobbiesongs.

[@ViashinoWizard]

Other Primal themes going "Mighty is our God!" meanwhile Goblins say "I'll break your goddamn neck"

[@johannjorsh3334]

We all need more goobiecore in our lives

[@MiaowGaiGar]

What impresses me is that this shows that the way they talk isn't just the English localizers taking liberties; the Japanese players hear this as well, meaning they were intended to talk like this from the beginning.

[@psymar]

To be fair this is just the Illuminati. Hopefully the good gobbies of Idyllshire have other, less violent music.

[@SniperKing-O]

Moblins will be in Dawntrail, so we may get more with them. :)

[@ethicscommitteememberremin4666]

Wake the metal! Create the metal! Enfold the metal! Control the metal! Embrace the metal! Reraise the metal! Restore the metal! _Live for the metal!_

[@ARCEUS551]

Forfeit all mortal possesions to the metal

[@chelsthegameruiner8669]

My type of lyrics, I love technology made for war so these lines resonate with me (no I don't like war itself, the technology is what interests me)

[@cvrc11]

I like the musical reference to Titan's theme in the chorus - it works because the goblins and kobolds have a lot of similarities, they're both essentially comic relief races with ties to the underground and technology, and even their names for the human races are essentially synonyms: "Overdweller" and "Uplander". The first time I played this fight I thought it actually WAS the Titan theme's chorus - BOW DOWN OVERDWELLER - and didn't even question it, it just fit with the vibes of the goblins in general.

[@toujounozomi3126]

So _that's why_ a _certain_ fusion of Alexander and Titan exists...

[@BadModder]

And as a result of those we have titan rolling around on his evil little ATV

[@PKFireFawx]

first, a gobbie must concentrate and visualize his concept! i gotta EMBRACE the metal! i gotta SNIFF the metal! i gotta LICK the metal! i gotta WASH the metal! I gotta DATE the metal! I GOTTA BE THE METAL!!!

[@Flamec45]

Its so funny how goofy the lyrics are but the song feels so serious. Thats goblins for ya

[@adamkmet8936]

I mean the song literally is about goblins tearing a person piece by piece

[@speedy22222]

I mean, translating it from gobbyspeak: "Snap click crank whirr whizz wham boom! Wheels humsing uplander doom! Crack thoom snap bam bim bangy zoom! Ah, nearsoon firebloom, crimson FOOM! Stop dizzyheels of the wicked Defuse, pop! Debone, slup! Deflate... No busydeals for the wicked Too late, far too late, far too late!" becomes "Snap click crank whirr whizz wham boom! Our machines sing our enemies' doom. Crack thoom snap bam bim bangy zoom. Soon we will explode in crimson fire. Stop the wicked from running, kill them, pop them, debone them, deflate them. No more negotiating with the wicked. It's too late, far too late, far too late." So for the goblins, the song is metal as *fuck*.

[@BlazinVoid59]

@@speedy22222 I remember seeing a good interpretation of the "Stop dizzyheels of the wicked" bit where it was like "Stop the misguided steps of those who would oppose us" or something like that.

[@elrilmoonweaver4723]

I mean, to be fair, this is Alexander in a nutshell. You'd think they'd never have made the gobbies threatening... yet here we are.

[@psymar]

​@@BlazinVoid59to me "dizzyheels" pretty definitely means turning and running. See also North Carolina being "the tar heel state" in honor of its fighters refusing to run.

[@RasenRendanX]

Man didnt know Quickthix all thoughts and his gobbies had such bars

[@hristopavlov298]

It's unreal how brilliant this ost is.

[@HonkaiMain]

This here was literally my gateway song into FF14.

[@jahkt667]

Can we pray for the small percentage of players who play this game without music.

[@RoseFielden]

One of my FC Member/Friends does that and i mess with her about it 😂

[@omega197]

i unrinocally return to this music again after a year, while caffeine deprived and stuck on an array mapping related issue

[@Gloomdrake]

I do not need prayer, I need a better Tv

[@miricobladetail9670]

Ain't no metal like Goblin metal.

[@swiftpinion]

Still my favourite song from Heavensward all these years later, go gobbies go!

[@archellothewolf2083]

I imagine each mech has a personal stage and the gobbie bois pilot it by jamming as hard as they can.

[@HaruMochizukiVT]

As a guitarist, singer and novel writer, the crazy lyrics and hard rock guitar (dare I say metal guitar) still gets me almost a year and a half after I discovered it. Novel wise I live in the fantasy genre of writing, so the goblin-speak lyrics just drive it home

[@desdenova1]

The Adeptus Mechanicus is pleased with this song.

[@iantaakalla8180]

Quickthinx Allthoughts definitely is a goblin that embodies the phrase “from the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me”

[@iantaakalla8180]

“From the timeinstant I understood the weakness of gobbieskin, it disgusted Quickthinx. I claimed the strength and purity of whirlybits and fizzybobs. Uplanderskin is a thing uplanders claim as uplandskin falls. Uplanderbodies will wither and you will mouthsound Illuminati for help. But I am already saved. Goblinmetal is alltimes. Even my betterbody serves the fizzypopgod Alexander.”

[@ElZouavo]

Listening to this, I realize it's the same leitmotif, the same theme as Alexander's fight, Moebius. This is the Alexander raids theme through and through.

[@blackh9604]

In this fight the lyrics slowly start playing the further you progress which is cool

[@kuronyra1709]

Actually, the lyrics start the moment you engage combat with the boss. It's the instrumental version that play when you're not engaged with it.

[@blackh9604]

@@kuronyra1709 Oh gotcha, neat

[@the.duck.is.ronin.]

The chorus sounds almost exactly like Titan's theme

[@LobsterMage]

Nooo, Paladin, you have to tank the adds over the glowing platform and we have to kill them before they drop into the lava, what are you doing stoooooooop!

There's a reason for that. Nobuo Uematsu's record label is the one who owns the copyright for that song, not Square Enix.

Theyre playing a fight unsynced solo with a maxed out job and without thier HP/MP or EXP bars being shown, and using the footage as B Roll for a lyrics feed, i think its safe to say theyre NOT taking this fight seriously enough to need to use the keyboard for skills

The guy who taught me how to play ShB smn, is a triple legend, and routinely gets orange parses is Drumroll please A clicker. Quite a few triple legends are clickers. It's only a method of playing and if it works for them, then they will play better than if they use only keyboard. You are talking out of your ass.
