"Thunder Rolls" with Official Lyrics (Ramuh Theme) | Final Fantasy XIV

I can never stay on this Mount long enough to get to the really good part

God I just adore how they made the spaced out drum rhythm sound like the distant rumbling of thunder in a storm. Its such a creative way of making a song about thunder id never think of that

[@debleb166]

They also do this in Ceadeus' themes from Monster Hunter, except instead of sounding like thunder, the roll off from the sound of the drums sounds like the ambient noise of being underwater.

Cheers! I was always a bit lost on that part, but now that i know, I really feel and understand the theme of the song on a deeper level, ya know?

Thank you captain obvious! On a more serious note, this comment is brilliant, and everyone’s replies just add to it.

The drop at 4:42 gives me chills every time, such an underrated song

[@smartlink768]

Same man, love this song so much

[@evanroznoy940]

Feels like a Sawano drop honestly

[@DJpony01]

When I started this game a couple months ago, hearing this song was just a taste of what was to come. Now that I just beat Shadowbringers, this song hits harder. I love this game!

[@shinkamui]

the way they withhold the drop from us the first time around at the end of the first verse, waiting allll the way until the second at 4:40 to do it, in itself kinda feels like looking through a window at a thunderstorm trying to watch lightning, the anticipation, waiting, not knowing when it will come. Silly of us to think lightning will obey our timing, it drops when it wants to drop. But man when it finally happens, its a divine sight

[@Dastan117]

Damn why am I crying rn? Ramuh is a being so great, and yet I always felt calm about his presence. It's like he didn't even want to fight at all, but he will defend everyone if he has to. Like I even felt bad about fighting him.

[@bigtimetimmyjim6486]

Ramuh is the only primal who wanted to lose, as he knew that losing meant that Eorzea has found a worthy champion capable of bringing peace.

[@arathain2]

He was summoned as a god of Wisdom, and wise he is. Yet still a primal. He tempers. His hunger for aether must be sated. Don't feel too bad, Warrior, you have a job to do.

[@caliklepto1316]

@@arathain2 that last sentence was awesome

[@Xport9]

Ramuh was just a teacher, he has no ill-intent in harming anyone. This encounter was essentially testing you, if you have what it takes to keep balance in check.

[@crystalgoddess4085]

@@bigtimetimmyjim6486 Pretty sure Alexander wanted to lose as well, once it eventually realized the optimal timeline was one where it didn't exist, so it willingly placed itself in an unbreakable time stasis to prevent anyone from ever using it's power again.

[@Nikoli492]

Ramuh is one of the only reasonable primals that wants to help people & it's more likely aware that is mere existent could potentially cause a calamity but lets not forget what happens if tamper victim are overly corrupted for long periods of time.

[@cameronwilsey9334]

I can only think of him and Alexander, any more?

[@Nikoli492]

@@cameronwilsey9334 Ravana maybe up their since he really care for the safety of the Gnath & that he's a honorable warrior but he's love for conflict may make him just as dangerous as most primals.

[@TheDarkFable]

@@Nikoli492 nah the Gnath, upon killing a wounded Dragon that fell into their hive, learned that Dragons could be killed. They seek to expand their territory, Ravana is a war god summoned to help them do just that: Conquer The only good bit about him is he’s got a warrior code he follows absolutely

[@PrincessofKeys]

@@TheDarkFable which makes him reasonable and he actually will hold up his end of the deal. Suppose Im just thinking about ones that actually will listen anyways.

[@ryno4ever433]

It's because it's believed that Ramuh is a manifestation of what the sylphs believed to be the traits of a wise Elezen that once helped them make peace with Gridania. The sylphs wished for a wise sage to guide them, and that's what they got.

[@Luxai]

These lyrics are really about how easy it is for selfishness and dark thoughts to consume oneself, the judgement that must always follow, and redemption at the end, understanding that lightning will strike, and thunder will roll, but you can still look to the next day, head held high and free of sorrow. Don't let the worm burrow deep.

[@christopherbravo1813]

feels like a good bit of it is about you dying.

[@callandor4704]

As well as an understaning and promise of lightning and thunder to come. Life is a storm, wherein there is no such thing as smooth sailing. Constant ups and downs.

[@the_dark_soul_of_man]

I remember this fight fondly, Ramuh is the first primal we can speak reasonably with, as he is not really aggressive and only protects his subjects. He is the first primal that makes you pause and think, "Am I the good guy here?"

[@DeltaDaspleto]

This, it makes the game trying to shift the WoL in Stormblood into someone who just has a rageboner for primals so jarring. But generally Stormblood had a few very....questionable narrative choices.

[@Rjhan1]

this theme is so underrated it hurts

[@callmeobsequious]

Sad that I never got to appreciate songs like this because I was too hyperfocused on not screwing up like the casual scrub I am lol. It's really fantastic and so underappreciated it.

[@miles8385]

I feel like some of the lyrics in this song are Ramuh warning/advising the WoL regarding the Ascians (the worm) and on what WoL will have to face to defeat them

[@kzpylj7729]

Like he foresaw everything that would happen

[@ryno4ever433]

Easy to say that in retrospect, but really this song is about the greed of man. Ramuh is a deity primarily concerned with the preservation of nature. The aspirations of man are antithetical to Ramuh's goals. The worm is greed and the means by which man will manifest that greed and attain their goals.

[@justinlee790]

@@ryno4ever433 Ramuh actually works really well to set up Heavensward in that sense, as both narratives deal with the cruelty and greed that lie in the heart of mankind. Like Ramuh, Midgardsormr and Hraesvelgr have been disillusioned with humanity by the time we meet them. We have to prove to them that man is able to rise above his avarice, and that peace between men and the other creatures of the world (in this case, Sylphs and Dragons) isn't just a doomed dream. And we have to prove ourselves to them: not only that we actually do carry the right convictions, but that we have the strength to see them through and _enforce_ the peace we preach.

[@StormierNik]

@@ryno4ever433 And Ramuh was truly right. Man's own greed would be its downfall, as later expansions soon prove as well. Even the downfall of races other than man.

[@combativeThinker]

@@StormierNik Patches was right. “Every age, it seems, is tainted by the greed of men.”

[@tgr3423]

This was the first theme and fight that legitimately gave me chills. I think it's something I'll remember fondly for years to come.

[@arthasgaming4690]

I just started to play and god I love this game, and so far this is my favorite theme of any of the Primals I have fought so far, I got his mount from extreme and I love that it plays the theme as you ride it.

[@StormierNik]

I feel as if Ramuh knew far more than he led on somehow. Or at least knew something was different about WoL. "Soul without a name" and "Soul fallen from grace" in particular stand out to me given what is known about future events. There's no way they planned this far in advance realistically, but the way it lines up is so perfect. And is basically instructing us on "The Worm" that plagues men and how it must be stopped. Though despite understanding that you're different, you still must face judgement, "Thine own hell" which I would assume is the combat WoL is forced to participate in, and thus with Ramuh as well. Despite this, I think Ramuh understand that WoL will prevail. That they should "Lift thine heavy head and vanquish thy sorrow". Lightning will strike, thunder will roll as storms will always come and go. Knowing that, "Now turn thy gaze ahead and look to the morrow". Struggles are ever prevalent, the next storm will always be upon you, but will soon pass as all do. "Lightning shall strike, thunder shall roll on". Leaving off the desire for WoL be strong and find the strength to push on in spite of all these struggles.

[@alineortolan6110]

Nope, they only had the overall plot leading to EW done at the end of HW.

[@StormierNik]

@@alineortolan6110 Well i don't mean from the dev standpoint but character standpoint. It's not like Answers had some perfect connection and meaning but they retroactively made it mean more after EW. It at the very least might Retroactively have been given more meaning.

@@StormierNik yeah, I did not believe for a second that the devs somehow had the whole story planned from the moment ARR was first released.

Extremes are where the real fight starts, if it was more of a single player experience I’d like it to be the starting difficulty, normals and hards often leave me with a feeling of ”was that it?” Slightly bringing me out of immersion.
