"Through the Maelstrom" with Official Lyrics (Leviathan Theme) | Final Fantasy XIV

[@chelsthegameruiner8669]

I remember my friend Nero telling me to wait for the wipe mechanic to pass for the fight to get good. I remember hearing the song after we died and I nearly choked on my water

[@intensellylit4100]

Nearly choked on your water? Ironic.

[@Racesolar]

the guitar riff starting right after the wipe mechanic passes is SO good, the exact same energy as Titan starting Under the Weight right as he does his wipe and Shiva starting Oblivion right as she stomps

[@castorvolkCH]

"wait for the walls to come down and it's one hit kos." "wait WHAT?!"" this was the original masterclass in learning to dodge.

[@psymar]

​@@castorvolkCHat least nowadays you can be raised... Back in the day I think you couldn't if you fell off. You certainly couldn't with Titan.

Leviathan attacked you irl

[@blackh9604]

The panel where Koji and Soken talk about this song makes me appreciate it a lot more.

@@LutherTaylor Soken originally wrote this song with a female vocalist but that got binned 3 days before the deadline after YoshiP said it didn’t fit since Leviathan is a male. Since there wasn’t enough time to hire a male vocalist to practice and record this, Soken sang the song himself and had to add crazy effects to make it sound the way it does, especially since the song’s keys were tuned for the female vocalist. There’s a livestream of him playing the raw vocals of himself which is hilarious as well as the female vocal version which he later released with an OST.

Im here before Soken eventually remixes this song into FF16 dlc come this spring just like he did with the Omega music.

[@oh_sweet]

Honestly this on it's own would be perfectly fine but we all know Soken's gonna treat us again

[@reverb3458]

i swear if he treats leviathan as well as he did with titan, then my leviathan will surely make white fury 😫

[@CGsoufiane]

You predicted the future congratulations xD

[@EldritchBoi]

i did this boss yesterday with friends, we we're absolutely both terrified and blown away by how cool Leviathan was

Mine is the power to cleanse all things! Naught can withstand the relentless onslaught of my waves! -Leviathan

Im here after hearing FF XVI Leviathan Shield Phase theme

[@stardust-reverie]

there’s a mod for left 4 dead 2 to make this the theme for when a tank (a massive, powerful zombie that can throw boulders and send you flying with a massive stunlock) is on the map, and it’s equal parts cool and terrifying

[@hereniho]

Now I'm imagining a mod that turns the tanks into Warriors. Maybe just Curious Gorge.

[@colonelsouffle3042]

I need this mod right now, is it still on steam workshop?

I like the part where they say "Leviathan!"

Dude I remember when I was drinking during this fight. I knew the mechanics really well so I was kinda coaching some of the party through it. Well I accidently dropped my controller causing my camera to rotate and so I ended up confidently running to the wrong side of the ship followed by like 5 other people. Was so damn funny xD

Just did this fight for the first time and he was dead before the first verse even started lol. Great song.

Yea i've fought them a couple times never got to the lyrics always beat it before XD

This became one of my first favorite songs of the game cuz of hearing it live at fan fest

Leviathan has always been my favourite and this song along with ff16 are my absolute favourites of his themes

[@doomgazer-seeks-the-truth]

[@Takimeko]

This sounds like something right out of Sonic and the Secret Rings.

[@HomeDepotemkin]

That's really accurate lol.

[@GRAG3R]

LET THE SPEED MEND IT

[@solidskullz5736]

Honestly that’s all of the primal themes for me except maybe Ifrit’s

[@tublar_stanley]

the only bad part of this song is how late it plays in the fight, since at that point its nearly dead

[@AlexPlaysStuff-games]

I never heard of the 2nd half till this video

[@franky2192]

[@Mclucasrv]

thank you for the vids and keep a back up just in case.

[@williambibens4508]

Damn dirty fishbacks know how to make a banger

[@YourBestBudd55]

Just did this fight for the first time the other day, our entire party got wiped halfway and had to restart the fight. When we finally got past the wipe mechanic I can't even begin to describe the feeling of the entire platform shifting causing me to slide as soon as this banger kicks in, playing Monk I dashed and was able to get out of the slide animation. I have never felt this cool in a video game in a long time

[@outkastkami6425]

Love this theme 🔥🔥🔥

[@Nyghtgirl27]

Expecting a remix version of this in FF16

[@Canal25bits]

[@Josefumika]

I'm someone who listens to their own music when playing games. So when I was running the ex fights for the first time and got this fights mount as a drop, it took me until Stormblood to realise that this fight had an absolute banging track. Something straight out of splatoon

[@debleb166]

It does sound kind of like Splatoon. This and Oblivion.

[@_Tzer]

fun fact he first appeared in ff2 and was just a level-boss you went inside.

[@grapz2245]

Man this splatoon boss is weird.

[@milkiipetals]

"I'm Fellcleaving!"

[@Feraligatrfjhgujvgh]

Unpopular opinion but I really love the first theme a lot more than this song. Not saying this is a bad song mind you, it's pretty good. But the first phase theme just fits the fight a whole lot more. Just that rhythmic beating of drums foreboding the primal. Fucking great.

[@TheWickedWizardOfOz1]

I think that it does a good job of building things up before this enters and completely shreds the place. They're two sides of the same piece, a build-up (Wreck to the Seaman) to a climax (Through the Maelstrom). Suspense before a thrilling explosion.

[@mkhato_ff]

i cant be the only one getting sonic vibes from this, right?

[@sigsig2632]

That was first thought when hearing the song

[@Takimeko]

It sounds like something straight out of Sonic and the Secret Rings.

[@NeoGraena]

[@Zkeleton969]

2:22 it’s illegal to fight during this part, you MUST HEADBANG

[@JS-kr8fs]

They spent so much time and effort on songs most people never hear the bulk of, because they only do the MSQ versions, and the lyrics phase lasts 30 seconds.

[@Epsilonsama]

Most lyrical songs in video games like “Roar of the Jungle Dragon” by DM Dokuro. I’ve never played this game, and the songs lyrics are so weird. What’s the lore behind the song, if any? Great song though

[@nodot17]

The lyric from A realm reborn primals all read like chants from the cults who summoned them Save for shiva

[@TheCommeru]

Even when the lyrics say leviathan i still cant stop thinking they are singing ''waifu, waifu''.

[@Takimeko]

2:24 During this section of the song I always hear leviathan as "Live right through"

[@aoto8897]

That might’ve been true and funny if Leviathan here was a female. but he’s not. he’s a male in this game (seems like In most games, he’s usually male 70% of the time, and 30% female of the time).

[@BehdinAzadih-hh7rj]

@@aoto8897 The last Leviathan (FF15) was literally called “The Tidemother”… I get you have a strong head canon going but unfortunately hate to break it yo you but you didn’t create the story. 🤷🏼🥲
