This is not The Riddle (Odin Mix) - FINAL FANTASY XVI Original Soundtrack

[@o-ng5t69]

Lyrics for the solo singer in The Riddle: - 10:03 - *The twain* *On ten feet run* *Three eyes and one* *Trained upon victory* *Foreseen* *With steel, darkness comes*

[@mimbaoJH]

That’s goddamn sick

[@yoshikagekira3707]

Fun fact : The lyrics describes Odin and his horse Sleipnir. Ten feet run (Sleipnir 8 + Odin 2) Three eyes (Sleipnir 2 + Odin 1) One [Tail] (Sleipnir 1)

[@eccochan]

​@yoshikagekira3707 the feet is definitely right but I don't think "one" refers to a tail? Pretty sure the line is supposed to run on so in meaning it's more like "three eyes, and one trained upon victory" as in the third eye of foresight (hence the next line being simply "foreseen") - I think its a reference to barnabas' conviction and faith Edit: although apparently in myth Odin sacrificed an eye for enhanced perception so it could just be referencing that, or its a deliberate double meaning. Either way the lyrics in all of this soundtrack are awesome

[@yoshikagekira3707]

​@@eccochan The first part of the lyrics is a reference to a riddle contest from 'The Saga of King Heidrek the Wise' Then said Gestumblindi: Who are those twain that on ten feet run, three their eyes are but only one tail? This riddle ponder, O prince Heidrek! 'Thus it is,' said the king, 'when Ódin rides upon Sleipnir.' So I think 'one' might refer to a tail of Sleipnir. And about the second part, I don't really know. Never played FF16 tho. Yes, the lyrics of this game's choir soundtrack is bloody awesome.

[@eccochan]

@yoshikagekira3707 oh cool! Thanks for sharing, that makes a lot of sense especially with the title of the track being The Riddle. For such a short set of lyrics it feels so steeped in meaning, this makes me love it all the more! And I highly recommend the game if you get a chance to play it! 😊

Who would win? A man blessed with the power of a phoenix, a fiery demon, and the powers of many mighty entities, or a Jehovah's Witness with a BIG sword and a horse?

[@kingofdragons7]

The religious king with the power of darkness

[@Final-Atonement]

A shorter name: Vergil

[@BlackangelKatakuri]

​@@Final-AtonementNothing at all like Vergil.

[@FirebrandXVI]

Definitely Clive, 'cause what's the point of bringing a sword like that if he isn't gonna use it?

[@Radagon543]

​@@FirebrandXVI This feels like a DMC4 reference.

[@fakedoctor1]

No matter how much they successfully hyped up odin and Barnabas, I was skeptical that anything could top the bahamut fight. But when that final phase theme kicked in and he started laughing like Mark hamill, I was sold. The warrior king who had forgotten his bloodlust, holy shit...

[@sninja332]

Fr man

[@JurzGarz]

Barnabas’s theme is insanely intimidating. It really helps sell him as a major threat.

[@jamesnorman9160]

He doesn't even need to be in his Eikon form - just powering up and ranting like a lunatic - to make it clear that he's so far above your other foes that it isn't even funny.

[@mrsgamer9218]

Not only that. It screams royalty, king etc

[@phosphor112]

I was too busy getting my butt stomped the first time to realize how amazing "The Riddle" actually is as a song. It's absolutely hype. Soken did amazing things with this game.

[@blackh9604]

The timestamp names are killin me lmao

[@shadowthehedgehog181]

I was expecting "All-Fucker" maybe on part 3😅

[@Jargon.5]

A shame he didn't include a timestamp that said "least insane combat sexual person"

[@kingleepz]

I absolutely love the "Sever" part of his theme, idk why, but it has that very FF-esque motif towards the end of each chorus where the notes go up and sounds very melancholy but almost hopeful, it reminds me of something that I can't quite put my finger on.

[@jamesnorman9160]

The whole soundtrack for the game is superb, and I recently fought Barnabus muself recently, and the final phase is just intimidating as all hell. When Barnabus - who until then had been calm and collected and almost bored, even as he effortlessly destroys whoever dares to stand before him - suddenly begins to start laughing and ranting like a lunatic as he powers himself up for the final clash, now that he's finally come across a worthy opponent. It makes him even more intimidating than when he's in his Odin form. "Show me your worth Mythos....THAT I MIGHT REVEL IN IT!!!"

[@1IvoGomes2]

The Riddle is so engaging and amazing i can't believe it

[@yeettm8014]

The riddle is my favorite dominant boss track in the game and combined with one of my favorite villains in the game it was the most fun I’ve ever had playing a game.

[@FirebrandXVI]

The blade must ever feed if her edge is to remain keen. Butcher...! What care you for these worthless creatures? They are nothing. Weak from the moment of their conception, ever longing for powers not theirs to command, they turn unfailingly upon themselves. Like sheep, they roam in filthy flocks, ever eager to trample those few gifted a fleece of gold. All that they might feel contentment with their pitiful existence. Persecution and prejudice. Severance and strife... Every earthly wrong springs from the malice in men's hearts. Malice born from the pain and suffering that is free will. Its corruption has gnawed at your being from the very moment of your birth. You're wrong. It is no corruption. It is who I am. Every choice I make - right or wrong - gives me reason to carry on. And carry on I shall. Not as a puppet, but as a man. Which are you?!

[@JuliusCaesar103]

The Sever part is an all timer for me, what are we thinking folks?

[@nasaki4348]

Absolute banger.

[@DrCoomer_1]

Final Phase is incredible

0:00-1:20 never thought the FF1 world Map theme could sound so Sinister. xD

😂😂😂 Omg it sounds the same 😂😂😂

[@georgehouliaras7239]

Finally the soundtrack is out. I can't wait for the songs and the lovely names that you are going to give in each section.

[@jlatzss1457]

Fighting Odin is probably the most badass thing you can do in Final Fantasy

[@SolipSauce]

You really manage to capture the rhythm of these massive ingame moments with these mixes, fantastic! I hope we can get more FF16 mixes down the road.

My goodness sonen .... That kitchen must have been 900000 degrees when he was cooking this 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kain4726]

I wish we would have gotten proper Odin vs Ifrit fight like with Bahamut and Titan. I felt like we swiped by Odin too fast...

[@shadowifrit1816]

I feel like he was holding back. He wasnt out for blood but to make sure clive was ready for ultima.

[@kain4726]

@@shadowifrit1816 yeah it makes sense he basically sacrificed himself for the world he believed in but I still wanted a proper fight against him outside cutscene 😭😭😭❤️

@@shadowifrit1816he wasn’t holding back during the last phase. He kills you if you don’t go through the purple bar phase.

[@PapaDeusVult]

You guys feel like Odin's theme is called The Riddle as a reference to the 1982 Conan the Barbarian film? - The Riddle being The Riddle of Steel; - Odin wields a lot of skills with Steel in their name (Blinding Steel, Dancing Steel, etc), - Barnabas is a warrior-king, just like Conan becomes; - The battle is essentially about one's will to persevere, which is the answer to the Riddle of Steel; and - Not to mention that Odin's design kind of has a Frank Frazetta feel to it (see his 'Death Dealer' artwork) Food for thought

[@eternalequinox6363]

I believe it's a reference to an old Norse riddle involving Odin where a man is asked: "what rides on ten feet, with two eyes and one tail?" The answer is Odin riding his eight-legged horse Sleipnir. Those same words are used in the lyrics at 10:03.

[@hartantoanggoro]

Der Ritter or The Knight.

[@SeferAngeloEspiritus]

Wait did i just heard a ff3 overworld soundtrack in the intro of the song?

[@noellesato311]

I liked it when Barnabas said "ITS ODINING TIME" and Odin'd all over Clive and all of Valisthea

[@Te4mStardust]

"What was it all for!? You choose to be NOTHING!? AAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH"

A great theme, more of a grower than the others

Glad this one survived

Love it! Missing Ultimalius though.

Awesome mix! Will any of these mixes go up on MEGA?

[@o-ng5t69]

As much as I would love to do that, I don’t think Square Enix would appreciate that, considering their history of taking down videos such as these. Better to play it safe.

Is the introduction a theme from ff4? Starting from about :25
