I never thought about it until today but this phase transition music is so funny. Zurvan : DIE Raid : *survives* Zurvan : wait that's illegal Raid and drums : *starts confusedly mashing* Violins and Zurvan : *starts sweating intensely* if the music transition was on broken seal it'd be a pinpoint depiction of the fight in extreme.
after a while this song grows on you, it aint instant gratification like some other boss music but it definately does grow on you the more you fight him.
Had a pleasure of landing this trial in a roulette with a bunch of sprouts. They kept commenting how much this music slaps, we wiped once and weren't even mad because we get to hear the music longer.
First and only time I fought this dude I was doing the questline and I solo'd him with my DRK after shadowbringers. Came right down to the wire, if the fight lasted 10 more seconds I would have lost. Really captured that classic FF boss fight feel, pushing with everything you've got and only just barely coming out ahead. Love this game
@@guilhermecardoso2365 In FFVI where you fought this guy (or rather, all Warring Triad), it's quite possible for players to face him with underleveled team due to the game force you to split into 3 teams. So it's not rare for someone to ended up having to fill the hole with low level characters that they rarely used and had to struggled quite a bit Unless, of course, if you actually grind for everyone which I doubt a lot of people do that
This... is actually a combination of Penultimania and Infinity -- Zurvan actually has two different music tracks. Infinity starts here around 3:31 and starts in-battle when Zurvan uses Ahura Mazda.
elinfini LANGUAGE NERD FACT TIME Zurvan is the name of the primordial creation deity of the pre-Islamic Persian religion of Zoroastrianism, who created the equal but opposite twins Angra Mainyu and Ahura Mazda. Ahura Mazda is the enduring sole deity worshipped in Zoroastrianism.
And sadly Angra Mainyu is the least epic of those 3 in the game... isn't he like, the ultimate evil in Zoroastrianism? Edit: I just remembered that Behemoth, Leviathan and Ziz are also a trio... I'd rather take the Angra Mainyu we have over the Ziz we have...
summbrummdumm Ahura Mazda kinda became the only deity in Zoroastrianism over time so I think that's why it's name got to be the big show stopping attack.
I always wondered why whenever we had monks we couldnt skip. must be because it takes so long to build up your stacks that by the time zurvan is ready to fall , theyre just now getting into big damage
A bit of the case? We Monks usually start with the perfect balance opener but I think just especially for this fight it's hard to decide if we actually want to use it because there's so many other occasions that perfect balance would be swole. So, many. Every soar, every tether.
doesnt have much to do with that, mrhappys vid of the soar skip that everyone takes to their grave had a monk in it, and you dont drop GL on the first phase change anyway, you lose GL in the fight later but there's lots of skills that make that less of a factor
Welp hello Kefkas Tower, I did not expect Zurvans fight to take us there. And no you cant say thats not the top of Kefkas Tower because thats what it is.
Gaius wasn't completly evil too. The only really evil ones we encountered so far are Nael, Zenos and Livia. The other ones are more brainwashed/patriotic guys (Gaius is different, he has his own vision of how to act and why should he acts. He is, dare i say it, a "kindhearted" conqueror if that makes any sense) Also Garlemald seems to have a reason to hate primals and gods and it's alluded multiple times. We may learn more when we'll finally have to go there.
@@hanoi_revolver Its because Eorzea picked on them for not using magic. So they rose up with Magitek not seen since the Allagan Empire and bulldozed through the Far East and Eorzea.
Hm, now that I think on it, no lyrics makes sense. In order of extreme modes... Bismark - no lyrcis Ravana - lyrics Thordan - no lyrics Sephirot - lyrics Nidhogg - no lyrics Sophia - lyrics Zurvan - no lyrics
AxleStukov Alternatively, in terms of the Triad, it's just lyrics, lyrics, no lyrics. Also Thordan and Nidhogg kinda had some form of vocals iirc - enough for it to be noticeable. Their effort is probs going towards the expansion, I guess.
Hey mate, I know very well what the distinction between vocals and lyrics is, and if you read what I wrote, I was just commenting that Thordan and Nidhogg (not counting the phase with Dragonsong) have prominent VOCAL elements to them, which they do. I was in a rush when I wrote that comment, and I realise that I didn't properly convey what I wanted to say - that they do have notable motifs that are sung, despite the fact that they don't have actual lyrics. Zurvan and Bismarck only have minor vocal elements, which I think is fine for Bismarck, consider that its a giant flying whale. But given than Zurvan actually communicates with you, I would have liked to hear some form of vocals in Zurvan's theme (with or without lyrics). And to me (and probably a few others), it kinda felt like a bit of a let down, considering that both Sephirot and Sophia had great phase 2 themes, and I was looking forward to something I could sing along to for Zurvan. But this is wholly my preference, and regardless, I still like Infinity. Also, please stop throwing insults around - just because we're strangers on the internet doesn't mean that we aren't people who deserve respect. Grow up.
Need to spend 15 minutes to solo the normal version for HW relic now as SMN, had to die 2 times to raise the Echo. But its not a boring 15 minutes bcus of the theme
Got the Orchestrion Roll pretty cheap today, but it seems Infinity only covers the part after Zurvan busts out Ahura Mazda on your ass. First half of this video's track (second phase part) isn't included. Also, I love the fact that Ahura Mazda effectively forces us into a cutscene of sorts as it's power is unleashed. As a major fan of FF6 I'm ultimately feeling extremely satisfied with seeing the full scope of the Triad's power in all it's glory =)
I got the Demonic Lanner mount from the Irregular Tomestone event. I used it out of curiosity, but heard the first 5 seconds of this, then immediately dismounted, to hear this for the first time in such context would be wrong. I'm glad I did.
I'm kind of hoping that in 3.55 (or possibly in Stormblood) we get a "Warring Triad" trial with all three, and a track with all three's themes mixed together.
Me thinks the Kefka reference is in this fight itself. When Zurvan starts The Purge, you're "warped" to a destroyed world and he descends from the heavens in a light, similar to when you face Kefka in VI
"I am the end and the beginning! By my touch shallyour wretched lives be blessed!" is up there. Especially given the number of wipes that tend to follow, no matter what your average ilvl is.
I’m a bit late on this but people complaining that this needs lyrics and that it’s worse than the other two clearly don’t have a taste for music there is plenty of music without lyrics that are a lot better than having them when this fights second phase after ult kicks in the music gives you a sense of danger like this dude means business and he does now I’m not saying the other twos themes weren’t good but I honestly prefer the second part of zurvans theme over the other two of the triad
hmmm..... I can see where they were going with this, but Fiend and Equilibrium beat this out by quite a bit. It actually sounds like Yoko Shinomura wrote this with that violin.
People missing the point on this one he is supposed to be the incarnate of pure power out of the 3 he is the most bad ass he doesn't need hard tactics to win he just needs a spear and pure dps to completely fuck your shit up.
Gotta admit the presence of 3 phases and the first phase shift happening so fast made this fight kinda awesome. Too bad god awful players who couldn't learn to not die repeatedly to the mechanics that killed them ruined it for me.
Uh... What is it that Mekkah is using to regen MP right after the Snowflake attack? I cannot find anything for "Tyrfing" anywhere, other than a Gladiator weapon from the Aery
I never thought about it until today but this phase transition music is so funny.
Zurvan : DIE
Raid : *survives*
Zurvan : wait that's illegal
Raid and drums : *starts confusedly mashing*
Violins and Zurvan : *starts sweating intensely*
if the music transition was on broken seal it'd be a pinpoint depiction of the fight in extreme.
Even the music itself wants to skip Soar.
"We are Number One but everytime we see Soar, the party disbands faster."
Laurentius Kirk
"Are you a real DPS?"
"Well, technically, nah."
The party has disbanded.
Laurentius Kirk holy fuck this comment is fucking amazing. I cant express how amazing.
His weapons are both amazing and bloody expensive, a Black Mage must have with that ice and fire motif
after a while this song grows on you, it aint instant gratification like some other boss music but it definately does grow on you the more you fight him.
This theme was instant gratification for me absolutely loved it
I loved it from the start!
Had a pleasure of landing this trial in a roulette with a bunch of sprouts. They kept commenting how much this music slaps, we wiped once and weren't even mad because we get to hear the music longer.
Same happened with me on Ravana. They were all happy when they wiped cuz they could hear the phase 2 song longer
Start vid and DRG is dead. Classic.
Floor tanks will always be floor tanks haha
He died as he lived. Falling.
Ishgard's Finest.
@@SleepyFenl
Did any of us expect anything different?
It's hard to stay focused on the fight when you have that compulsion to do air-violin.
Good, I'm not the only one
Wait, doing air violin ISN'T considered fighting? What the hell am I supposed to do with these hands, participate in RPG combat? Like a CHUMP?
You wonder why dps has suddenly dropped then you look over and there's the BRD jammin.

You know you love us playing dem songs at the right times.

Must have heard these lines 30 times practicing the EX fight syned no echo last night blind...but we downed him!
I AM BEYOND YOUR PETTY MORALITY
Official names are "Penultima" for pre-ultimate attack and "Infinity" for post-ultimate attack.
The Last Pillar to Fall, and he went out in style!
This... is actually a combination of Penultimania and Infinity -- Zurvan actually has two different music tracks. Infinity starts here around 3:31 and starts in-battle when Zurvan uses Ahura Mazda.
Song starts, dragoon is dead already.
Yep...
3:08
- *Sarva* (freezes you in place)
- *Ahura Mazda* ( _actual_ limit break).
That part was _so_ cool!

It's too bad the English voice track doesn't shout out the name. It sounds pretty cool in the Japanese track.
A moment of silence for my fellow MNKs doing EX
Lee Jun Eh...it wasn't that bad to be honest. It's way easier to maintain GL3 in EX than Normal mode since he doesn't jump as much.
I feel that both normal and EX drops you as much. It's a bigger issue in Zurvex since you want that delicious PHASE SKIPS
I always wondered why whenever we had monks we couldnt skip. must be because it takes so long to build up your stacks that by the time zurvan is ready to fall , theyre just now getting into big damage

Thank you, both for the music and a walk-through of phase 2 and 3. Now I feel more confident in facing him.
that phase transition at 3:12 is really nice
Welp hello Kefkas Tower, I did not expect Zurvans fight to take us there. And no you cant say thats not the top of Kefkas Tower because thats what it is.
Except it isn't.
My very first and only extreme trial that ive finished. It was so fucking fun. And cant get his voice out of my head 😫
SUFFER IN ENDLESS TORMENT!
*one person fucks up*
*whole raid starts to unravel*
*fight restarts*
I thought his music was just alright at first, but that final phase made me change my mind real quick.
SKIP SOAR OR DISBAND. MUST DO 5000 DPS OR KICK
Zurvex kill party. no bonus allowed. personal DPS below 5 digits will be kicked. ilvl 1000 minimum. pls skip soar
a piece of me died inside
-under ilvl dps
Classic
They still can't do that at IL 400 XD
*laughs in 2 Expansions later*
I died for science.
RIP in pieces
The background seems very reminiscent to Kefka's Tower. Definitely brings out that old familiar feel to it.
I still feel so sad about Regula van Hydrus.. Maybe the Garlean Empire is not full of bad persons.
He's the General Leo of this game come to think of it.
I totally expected him to go Kefka but he did a 180.
Gaius wasn't completly evil too.
The only really evil ones we encountered so far are Nael, Zenos and Livia. The other ones are more brainwashed/patriotic guys (Gaius is different, he has his own vision of how to act and why should he acts. He is, dare i say it, a "kindhearted" conqueror if that makes any sense)
Also Garlemald seems to have a reason to hate primals and gods and it's alluded multiple times. We may learn more when we'll finally have to go there.
@@hanoi_revolver Its because Eorzea picked on them for not using magic. So they rose up with Magitek not seen since the Allagan Empire and bulldozed through the Far East and Eorzea.
They are still colossal dicks. Not to mention monsters.
Hm, now that I think on it, no lyrics makes sense.
In order of extreme modes...
Bismark - no lyrcis
Ravana - lyrics
Thordan - no lyrics
Sephirot - lyrics
Nidhogg - no lyrics
Sophia - lyrics
Zurvan - no lyrics
AxleStukov Alternatively, in terms of the Triad, it's just lyrics, lyrics, no lyrics. Also Thordan and Nidhogg kinda had some form of vocals iirc - enough for it to be noticeable.

Nidhogg also had Dragonsong.
Dragonsong was shoe-in. Not created specifically.

It's Dravanian.
"Dys an sohm in!"
"Rohs an kyn ala na!"
"Mah morn narr!"
"Sahl djahs afah an!"
Cleared this blind on my very first try. Wonderful fight.
Clearly the lyrics in the 2nd phase go: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
A moment of silence for the Cameraman. 3:26
*Prays in silence* May he forever walk in the light of the crystal.

Zurvan is too epic
I got the Demonic Lanner mount from the Irregular Tomestone event. I used it out of curiosity, but heard the first 5 seconds of this, then immediately dismounted, to hear this for the first time in such context would be wrong. I'm glad I did.
This song always gave me Phantasy Star Online vibes. Love it.
I can't watch this video anymore. Why not?
*Looks at shadowflare
Too many painful memories.
BOW TO MY INFALIBLE JUDGEMENT
I AM THE TALLEST OF MOUNTAINS I AM THE DARKEST OF DAYS-
Wait, wrong Infinite.
God Bless Warring Triad
I'm kind of hoping that in 3.55 (or possibly in Stormblood) we get a "Warring Triad" trial with all three, and a track with all three's themes mixed together.
Now I find myself looking forward to fighting Zurvan. I still have to face Sophia, though.
I get a strong Crystal Chronicles vibe from this theme.
You could say this is... A Song of Ice and Fire... ;)
There's the door, buddy.
Hehehehehe. xD
SKnight8046 close the door on your way out
Dammit Diabolos! :P
you just won the internet !
The first phase gives me some 8bits bgm feeling
hard to believe the next primal fight will be in June with Lakshmi
Assuming we don't face one beforehand for 3.5 Part 2 in March (hint hint).
Kefka reference boss or bust
Yeah... not happening now... :(
Closest thing we're getting is the 24-man fight against Proto-Ultima in 3.55
Me thinks the Kefka reference is in this fight itself. When Zurvan starts The Purge, you're "warped" to a destroyed world and he descends from the heavens in a light, similar to when you face Kefka in VI
BOW to my INFALLIBLE JUDGMENT! (the most powerful words in XIV)
"I am the end and the beginning! By my touch shallyour wretched lives be blessed!" is up there. Especially given the number of wipes that tend to follow, no matter what your average ilvl is.

I heard in Balmung Shire Shout chat today that Yoko Shimomura actually did Infinity or some pieces in FFXIV
Hey I recognise that Dragoon! Nice surprise seeing him in your party.
you work so fast tysm!
Going by the tracklist, the first part is likely called "Penultimania"
Learn Soar you lazy people! You don't always have to skip it!
Nice DPS
Aigh >people actually believe dealing more DPS is lazy
though i dont play the game i watch my friend play nd just listen to the soundtrack
we all died for science at least once.
Best ultimate of the three but no lyrics? Zurvan not get time to teach his minions to sing before being sealed?
Weak.
So many fights I've seemed to overlook.
Good and Evil, the war eternal!
Everyone:
Zurvan: I am Zurvan
"You'd best be frozen!"
*Bow* to my *infallible* judgement!
Love this tune. Btw it is called Infinity ;)
Bow to my infallible judgment!
Griever is that you?
hmmm..... I can see where they were going with this, but Fiend and Equilibrium beat this out by quite a bit.
It actually sounds like Yoko Shinomura wrote this with that violin.
Mindy Horn it really does tho
Was just going to say something similar. After Fiend and Equilibrium, this one feels kind of meh.
Gonna have to disagree. Fiend is horrendously edgy and not in a good way like Oblivion, and I lit don't even remember Sophia's theme lmfao
Cant wait to get to endcontent, im lvl 18 gladiator atm :)
Gravity Knight Take your time and enjoy yourself en route. Hope your starting tanking days aren't too rough.
I rly need to come back to this game. ._.
._. CUTE! n.n
Beautiful song
I really wanted Infinity to make the list for the new upcoming album. Guess I'll have to wait for the other one to get off the waiting list lol
just watching the chat screen and someone just died for science, but theres no science just flames
People missing the point on this one he is supposed to be the incarnate of pure power out of the 3 he is the most bad ass he doesn't need hard tactics to win he just needs a spear and pure dps to completely fuck your shit up.
Gotta admit the presence of 3 phases and the first phase shift happening so fast made this fight kinda awesome.
Too bad god awful players who couldn't learn to not die repeatedly to the mechanics that killed them ruined it for me.
Bird Gang if I had a dollar for every failed "clear party" I was in...
oh how i remember getting my ex clear and my last bird from zurvan a day before stormblood arrives!!!!
reminds me of Crisis City from Sonic 06
The choice of instruments, particularly in final phase remind me of multiple tracks from Sonic 06
What is your pc setup? Game looks like it is running fast and flawlessly smooth.
Zurvan: Wait, you two got lyrics?
You can hear a track from FF6 hidden in here with the trumpets
I wish this version was on the Orchestrion Roll
Phase 3 sounds like Legend of Dragoon to me. I like it
I like Penultima more then Infinity, I don't know why D:
Also the crafted weapons look cool :o
SUFFER... in endless torment!
BOW to my infallable judgement!
I want to beat this boss so much lol
Any chance you could cut out his LB part and join phase 2 and 3, because i feel that messes up the music.
No lyrics, huh? Cool nonetheless.
No need for words
Is it possible for you to do Tempest (30k Orchestrion Roll, wanted extended version...) and separate these two phases OST?
