As an Against The Current fan since 2012, it fills me with a weird sense of pride to see how far Chrissy Costanza has come. She and her bandmates used to roll shotgun with far more popular RUclips personalities like Alex Goot, Kurt Hugo Schneider, and Christina Grimmie - now they're their own sound and Chrissy is now singing a track for a MMO I'm playing, for goodness' sake. They've come far. They're what I loved about Paramore when Paramore was old school.
A young adult woman who uses the power of a primal to fight Flies around the battlefield, taunting us Has a tragic backstory related to souls Has a banger theme song with lyrics Close enough, welcome back Ysayle
@@adamraserovaquera Okay, I could have sworn that Ixion was established to be a primal at some point, but I might be thinking of a different monster? Oops.
@@Syogren oh right, I forgot to add the info I searched after your comment It seems to be a creation of the Black Mages of Mhcac (or however its written)
@@adamraserovaquerainterestingly, there’s a fight where you fight a bunch of Ixion (they aren’t called Ixion at this point, though) in Elpis. I don’t think any of them survived, though, since the Ixion you fight in the Lochs is the only one that currently exists, and it was made by the mages of Mhach. I think the implication might be that one or more of the mages were inspired by the Echo to recreate an Ixion? Or maybe after the Sundering the Ixion evolved to be become more normal creatures, and the mages merely reawakened a dormant gene
Wicked Thunder: "HOW ARE YOU STILL STANDING?!" Warrior of Light: "Lady, I flew to the ass-end of reality itself to punch out the physical embodiment of existential despair in the form of a giant doom bird that was literally drowning the universe in a song of bad vibes. No offense, but compared to that, you're small popotoes."
" . . . . And fought primals and fought literal gods/ancients that had command over all creation. In comparison, you're at best a wannabe amateur. This is very personal, but your fractured excuse for a soul can't handle my multiple rejoined soul."
"How are you still standing!?" "I went to the edge of the universe itself to fight despair manifested, took entire planets to the face and still had enough in the tank to fight a battle-obsessed Reaper. You're a Black Shroud Ladybug in comparison! You want my soul? Then pry it from my cold, dead hands!"
Thanks for making another lyric video! I was wracking my brain trying to make out what comes after“a thousand little girls.” Turns out it's, “A thousand little girls, all me.” I like it. I like that you put the battle voice lines in. There are lots of lyric videos, but that choice makes yours stand out. I like how you included Athena's intro in her song, as another good example.
and then you consider the old Miltonian notion that the greatest evil is to become enthralled by the creations of your own intellect and thus cause your own fall, and you start to wonder if it's a coincidence
“How are you STILL STANDING?” “I’ve had *literal* planets thrown at me and my party and we tanked them, babe. What makes you think you can crack our tanks armor, silence our healers or hinder our DPS?“
In hindsight, this whole fight is a reference to Final Fantasy X-2. A version of Ixion that uses machina in order to power itself beyond its limits is exactly what happened in that game.
I kinda like the addition of the in game voices through out this video, makes it feel like she's challenging you to a musical battle. Brings me back to old games like Gitaroo Man!
Yay official lyrics!! Though I'm kinda bummed the line isn't "no going back, no going back, no never, you'll never again know me" that was like my favorite part
i heard "no way" instead of "no, ain't" which ngl i think sounds like it makes more sense...why are they cutting off aint to lead in to the next line? it sounds awkward
> I'm ready to fight till there's one left standing 5 minutes later > No choice but to withdraw I thought there was no going back and no fear... or something.
@@aureilussmagnus Well, since HW Savage has always been fiction and 'what-if' scenarios.. It's possible if she went all out Eutrope might be able to do what she did in the savage fight, but it's also from the deranged mind of a cartoonist :p
It seems like the PoV character's name isn't censored until the 4:24 mark when it suddenly blurs, so I'm assuming it's supposed to always be censored like in the old video and something went wrong in the editing of this one.
maybe op realized how dogshit they are at the easiest job in the game but (similar to their lack of ability in playing a job) they were unable to blur their name until then. skill issue
I just came to this after listing to Black Cat's theme. God dammit Soken, you musical genius, this just took the ARMS style from her and made it J-Rock with lyrics, I LOVE LEITMOTIF!!!!
I was doing my weekly run yesterday, and hit M4 first, cranked the volume on the BGM, then got M1 and was immediately like "wait, that's the same effing theme/leitmotif underpinning both songs". It felt so cool to notice it and in the lore it makes sense (sisters), in the raid-series it makes sense (book-ends). Overall just brilliant composing.
aww you missed my favorite voice lines at the very end, awesome video. I personally love the addition of the voice lines, you can find tons of videos without them if you want to, harder to find the song WITH them.
"You're gonna give it all--" (cool cus its like a fight thing where you give it your all) "To me! To me! To me!" (the 2nd part with Wicked Thunder's intention of taking your soul)
"Yet like the grey the sky is draped in" at 0:39 used to be "I was not the greatness I was drenched in" and it was such a raw ass line... I'm so sad it's not the official lyrics
@@adrienshaouine2531 I hear it yes. But that's one reason i always wait for official lyrics to learn a song. Cuz if i learn it the wrong way, i'm not able to go back, or when i can it's hard to do it
I heard “My lost greatness I was draped in” I wasn’t very confident in it though, so I didn’t put it as a guess. Honestly, the official line was pretty good as well though.
Ah, thank you, Soken. "Oblivion" has long been my favorite XIV song, but this is a very close second place. Might move on up the more I hear it! And thanks, @hungrychad, for giving us yet another cool rendition of the lyrics! Nice choice of typeface for it!
Even if these are the official lyrics, I can't hear "like the grey the sky is draped in." I just hear "I thought greatness I was draped in," aligning with how she rose to become the champion but it was a hollow victory.
There seem to be a few songs in this game where the official lyrics just don’t sound like what is actually being sung. Oftentimes, you can chalk it up to things like getting used to a certain set of lyrics that aren’t quite right, because it was just what someone else thought the words were, but in other cases it really does just sound like the person singing used the wrong word and nobody caught it. It could just be our minds and ears playing tricks on us, or it could be someone slipped up along the process and no one corrected things. Or both. Who knows?
@@andyoatsI especially got this feeling with To the Edge, like the official lyrics have one of the lines as "We only fly when falling, falling far from grace" But it just doesn't sound like that at all. I always and still do believe the proper line is "What could fly went falling, falling far from grace."
Oh hey, I guessed that line right. Thanks for the upload, but would it be possible to get a version without the voice lines in the middle? They are kind of distracting.
1:49 where's the "there"? i listen back through this part overt and over and the best i can tell is an echo that MAY be saying "there", god i love soken's music but this nonsensical lyric hiding still irks me to this day...
Ah yes my twin from another mother Still would ngl (Same miqote face and hair as Wicked Thundar, just with red eyes, pale skin and black/dark grey hair)
I appreciate the fact that you've uploaded a version with the official lyrics, however, the presence of extraneous SFX renders this one Not As Good As The Old One to me. Oh well
I don't get why you put the game voice-over in these lyrics videos. As a result, prevents me from putting the video in my playlist, since I don't want to hear the game voice-over when listening to the song, thus making you lose view count
Thanks for visiting the video and commenting to help the video with the algorithm. I hope you find a video that suits your preference, but it was generous of you to comment here first.
Bruh, make a separate video with the voice lines. Who tf makes an OST video with random other noises just because? May as well put fart noises over the song at that point 🙄
"This is nothing personal but I must have your soul."
Lady there is nothing more personal than that.
sorry babe, the feral soul stays ON during savage
Joke's on you, I'm into that sh*t

I don't know how her agent (I presume) got her into the Japanese scene, but between MHA and FFXIV, she's really crossed barriers. Love to see it

Over the past few weeks, this has easily become my new all time favorite FFXIV song! Thank you hungrychad for uploading with the official lyrics!
Yeah, same. I’d rank it up there with “Return to Oblivion” in terms of best ff14 songs
I may be a bit edgy, but I think Scream still wins for me. But this one is very very good too.
Wicked Thunder: "HOW ARE YOU STILL STANDING?!"

@@kgjung2310That's very rude, BUT, completely true at the same time
"---And that's not even mentioning the giant world eater of darkness I just fought -last week-!"
This whole expansion has just been the WoL going "Do you know who I am?!"
WoL at normal mode : talks shit
also WoL after 126th wipe in savage : still talks shit
WoL winning after 244th try : ezpz 1st try clear
"How are you still standing!?"
"I went to the edge of the universe itself to fight despair manifested, took entire planets to the face and still had enough in the tank to fight a battle-obsessed Reaper. You're a Black Shroud Ladybug in comparison! You want my soul? Then pry it from my cold, dead hands!"
Once again, if we had a nickel for every time a boss was an Ixion fusion, we would have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, just weird it happened twice
Thanks for making another lyric video!

I like that you put the battle voice lines in. There are lots of lyric videos, but that choice makes yours stand out. I like how you included Athena's intro in her song, as another good example.
Venat: “Man shall no longer have wings to bare him to paradise”
Wicked Thunder: 2:59
Venat: Am I a joke to you?
Wicked Thunder: “I’m a woman, duh!”
"Begone."
Considering those wings come bundled with soul cancer I'm not sure Venat is too bothered.
and then you consider the old Miltonian notion that the greatest evil is to become enthralled by the creations of your own intellect and thus cause your own fall, and you start to wonder if it's a coincidence
Yes
“How are you STILL STANDING?”
“I’ve had *literal* planets thrown at me and my party and we tanked them, babe. What makes you think you can crack our tanks armor, silence our healers or hinder our DPS?“
If you can dodge a planet, you can dodge a ball.
In hindsight, this whole fight is a reference to Final Fantasy X-2. A version of Ixion that uses machina in order to power itself beyond its limits is exactly what happened in that game.
Having finished the raid tier, listening to this song again really helps show why she's fighting so hard and expands the lore more than I thought.
Still doesn't explain how she knows about you having a mostly rejoined soul though
I kinda like the addition of the in game voices through out this video, makes it feel like she's challenging you to a musical battle.
Brings me back to old games like Gitaroo Man!
GITAROO MAN MENTIONED
Yay official lyrics!! Though I'm kinda bummed the line isn't "no going back, no going back, no never, you'll never again know me" that was like my favorite part

"Yet like the grey the sky is draped in"... of course. I should've heard it was grey not green.
Everyone: Bee Queen!!!
Me: Horse.
You're a god for including voice snippets in this.
In a *shocking* turn of events, Wicked Thunder has fled the ring! Our unstoppable upstart is victorious!
very excited for the raid lore
I love the stylized lyrics you do! Hope there's a version planned without the voice lines
I'm pretty sure the voice lines are needed so that HC doesn't get a strike...
@@DeeRadens thats definitely not true, at least in the longrun. most of his uploads dont have them
The voice lines give Charm. Arcadium fights were amazing because of music and lines. We need more of that.
@@MrJesuisOMG yeah but until squenix puts the songs anywhere I can listen to them, I'd rather not have voice lines interrupting the music
I appreciate wanting to add the voicelines, but just like you said I rather listen the song itself instead of having something play on top of it...
It seems like the PoV character's name isn't censored until the 4:24 mark when it suddenly blurs, so I'm assuming it's supposed to always be censored like in the old video and something went wrong in the editing of this one.

You'll never convince me she doesn't say "thunder will 'follow'" no matter what the official lyrics say.
Love this song.
I think I should start playing Dawntrail...did come so far as to leave for the first zone xD
For people asking without battle voiceline, there is literally shit ton of it on youtube....
I love how many furry awakenings are happening because of Dawntrail
"Yet like the grey the sky is draped in" at 0:39 used to be "I was not the greatness I was drenched in" and it was such a raw ass line... I'm so sad it's not the official lyrics
I thought it was "I thought greatness I was drapped in" which is equally raw
I really cannot hear the beginning, do someone really hear the "yet"

Nah wrong the voice over is awesome and basically part of the song. L-take
When voice lines and dialogue are based on the fight progress and not the BGM, no it doesn’t. Simp-take
the voice over makes this soooo much better, its awesome
Bruh, make a separate video with the voice lines. Who tf makes an OST video with random other noises just because? May as well put fart noises over the song at that point 🙄
