My advice: Ditch like half the content of each line. It's not possible to sing every single word, so I personally omit parts of the fast lines when trying to sing this. "Going rotten till they solve them" becomes "going rotten t-solve em".
the actual story around this boss is such a mindfuck lol, we're fighting Alexander inside Alexander, where he summons himself to protect him, whilst we go back in time to save ourselves from the cutscene before. yep. did I miss anything?
If I’m remembering right, Alexander sends you back so you can save yourself so you can proceed to the chain of events that leads to Alexander’s creation
Basically yes, Alexander's purpose was to create a utopia and his ability to travel and see through time made him realise that no utopia can exist while he lives.
My character was named Alexander. Alexander fought Alexander inside future Alexander while fighting past Alexander to beat Future Alexander to prevent Alexander to die at the hands of past Alexander. And a cat.
I think it's because for the really fast parts, he only says enough of the word to understand what it is instead of the whole word, if that makes sense.
Reminds me of my first time actually using Limit Break 3 for tank. I remember screaming in awe as I did for the first time because it just felt so cool... It's such a liberating feeling and I'd go as far as to say is a rite of passage for tanking.
I honestly love how some bosses in raids/Trials not only require certain limit breaks to survive mechanics but do so in a way that feels so incredibly thematic, epic and engaging, not just a random raid wipe mechanic of "do this thing at this time or everyone dies". Like Bahamut Prime's Terra Flare or a similar mechanic being Susanoo's Blade's Shadow where the Tank does a QTE where they grab his incoming sword swing and struggle with him. Makes the fights feel so much more dynamic.
I'm so glad I randomly decided to tank the raid story as a whole; I got to maintank too when I got here and being told by the group that we need the tank to LB3, god was it glorious. That transition and the need for the tank to step in for the full fight is so DAMN GOOD The levels of dopamine was like the shiva heel click all over again.
At 0:34 when the guitar chord changes and the alarm-like sound that seemed atonal before suddenly becomes part of the harmony... love when music does this
I have restarted the song five times trying to hear the second part of the first line which I have no doubt is in there, but I keep trying anyways. The speed of these lyrics are simply mind-boggling.
Gobbie boom?! That part where Alexander temporarily stopped time and the BGM suddenly became like submerged (i don't remember the term lol) will forever be epic! This fast af track is a perfect match with that Alexander fight
It makes sense when you consider that Alexander MIGHT be the most powerful Primal we've encountered so far. Even though he is so powerful, he's still forced to follow along with the wishes/desires of those who summoned him. However, he realized that his continued presence would inevitably kill his summoners, which is why he orchestrated a time loop in order to ensure that he didn't kill everyone.

it's by default on super slow, so i haven't looked at it yet on final bar line. Finding out about the backstory of the fight made the slow triggers make way more sense. I'll edit this when i see it on its hardest difficulty. I already know that it has a supreme difficulty (level 4, the hardest) though. Edit: it is tied for hardest song with fight on from ff7 according to the in-game difficulties, and it lives up to it. Also, you can take away the slowed triggers in game, and I don't even want to see that mess again.
The mandatory tank lb3s that i can come up with are: - the 2 ultima casts in uwu - the big alexander in both the savage and ultimate versions - the ultimate cast from the 5.3 trial - a certain attack in the final endwalker trial The oy one where it isnt really mandatory but almost impossible without is the first ultima cast of uwu, if you have the buff thwt gives an lb3 back when that party member uses one, you wont wipe instantly, but you need an INSANE amount of mitigation to live, like almost every mitigation you can use in the game at that level
Me singing along to this song: "So-nic BOOM"
And then I stop because there's no way I'm keeping up with it.

Rumors are that if you can manage to recognize the HUD and access your limit breaker you’ll be able to sing every other line.

This song kind of gives you the feeling Koji-Fox wrote the lyrics just so he could flex on how fast he could spit lines lmfao
This is the most winningest song ever
Honestly this song sounds like it should be from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, as a versus mode track or as an alternate theme song for sonic himself.
A TO THE L TO THE E X ANDER
Even though im reading the lyrics I aint hearing the words while its being sung. It's just that crazy of a song x'D
Koji went hard
Am I the only one who listened to this song before the fight, and thought "Oh the Midgar motorway part 2?"
Best OST
The only fight in the entire game where tank can use lb3 and nobody can get mad, and he still does insane damage to you which is crazy
There are at least 2 others in the story. Thought the one in EW made me sob on how the ridiculous the damage is. XD
The mandatory tank lb3s that i can come up with are:
- the 2 ultima casts in uwu
- the big alexander in both the savage and ultimate versions
- the ultimate cast from the 5.3 trial
- a certain attack in the final endwalker trial
The oy one where it isnt really mandatory but almost impossible without is the first ultima cast of uwu, if you have the buff thwt gives an lb3 back when that party member uses one, you wont wipe instantly, but you need an INSANE amount of mitigation to live, like almost every mitigation you can use in the game at that level
Tanks: forgot lb3
Alexander: Sonic BOoM
Was this not the one with the time stop part in the middle?? I casn't remember which one it was
PLEASE BE IN FF16 I BEG
Took me a couple of hours to get all Alexander raids finished. 2 to 3 at most
"Music that uses alarm sirens as a backing track" gotta be my favorite gender
Wow great Sonic the Hedgehog song, what's it doing in FF?
Ah, goblin hip-hop
