Link's dead :( But that's okay. When the inevitable PC Version comes out (hopefully on Steam), there is zero reason not to up the Deluxe Edition for that Sountrack! It is my eternal regret that I only got Standard, not knowing how much of a banger the soundtrack would be!
That and the captain call outs were so dope. I bet he was so proud of Clive. "He's open!" "Clive! Have at him!" And just going to town. Man I can't wait to fully play this.
1:42 People often say "The best BGM is the type that you don't notice". But I always disagree with this. If you notice it then you KNOW it's caught your attention and it's good. This is exactly one of those moments.
I actually think that "The best BGM is the type that you don't notice" is one of the hottest bad VGM takes I've ever read in my opinion. The most legendary and memorable videogame music that sticks with you is always the most noticeable, the music that makes you come back to listen again after playing. Rather than the forgettable hollywood-esque/ambient music just to "fit in the game" that we get nowadays that 90% of the people don't even care.
Been gaming since Atari.... I've have never (that's not an exaggeration) heard/read anyone say/write "The best BGM is the type that you don't notice". With that said... I 100% agree with with your point though lol. Music is either 2nd or 3rd most important thing to me in video games (after Gameplay, of course).
It highly depends on what you want to achieve. I lack the words to describe it, but I am fairly certain that in order to create atmosphere, there are areas for both: BGM that stands out, and BGM that doesn't.
YoshiP says to Soken: "we're gonna need about 150 or so tracks to fill this game. can you and your team do that for us?" "Yeah i think we can do that." 215 tracks. absolute legends.
I wish the 7.0 build is released in a little, so after I finish FF XVI I will be playing it. Unfortunately the graphics breaks my immersion in online games. I will be more than READY when it comes out. Im like years waiting for the overhaul!!
Loved that part. It's also cool that they timed that where most player's will get to that part of the song when you hit the first qte of the fight. He gets stunned right after that, so it's cool cause that upbeat part of the song matches the moment where you're succeeding.
I love that Soken has this down to a science, with the "stagger phase" portion of the song coming on about every 2 minutes, which makes it easier for the fight designers to make it fit into boss battles.
During the presentation he stated the music changes according to the battle. So if the staggers don’t happen as fast it will keep playing the normal song until it happens then it switches. It’s freaking genius!!!!!
I don't know about anyone else, but this is enough to bring a tear to my eye. The sheer amount of fun I had in some of these battles with this music going brought me back to some of the happiest days of my childhood.
Like this is a song i musssst hear at a concert. Also this song just hits so hard depending on the situation during certain moments. Like if you are close to dying or if you are playing on FF mode the part at 1:22-1:44 hits sooooo hard. Like the horns are just sooooo immaculate!!!!!!! Honestly my favorite part
@ricaroo3284 There's Distant Worlds Final Fantasy where they perform FF music live. It is coming to my city soon. I might go just so I can hear this live
The "stabs" of the horns and trumpets (musical term used to designate those sharp accents) are just so powerful, especially when the harmonies kick in the repetition a few seconds later. It makes me want to get out and do some epic sh*t.
I love how serious and playful this song is at the same time, it's like yeah there's a really tough battle and i got to treat it as if i could die at any moment but im still confident and cocky about winning, this games ost is crazy
Man. When you’re fighting a boss and doing really well and the section at 1:43 kicks in. There’s nothing like it. I love the dynamic music so far from the demo.
@@Gomezli16Exactly. Final boss battles shouldn't start triumphantly. They should more or less follow sonata form. But depending on the plot, genre, etc., maybe you want it to start triumphantly, just not for the vast majority of games.
I remember thinking the same when I heard Sabre's Edge from XIII for the first time (especially as it builds up), but XVI is now on a whole other level. The tension and stress in the music sounds like it would be the end of the game!
Same lol only I was laying down because I was sick and couldn't move much except my fingers (he he). I sat the fuck up for that part and when I realized that I did I couldn't believe it
if you want to listen to more of soken's work i'd recommend checking out Finality and On Blade's Edge from endwalker, and also Torn From The Heavens if you like this track.
It also gives me some FFX vibes too! Some parts feel like one of the boss themes (particularly the parts early on when you're fighting Sin.) This is just spectacular!
That was a badass move Clive did during the first QTE when he jumped way high then came down on the Morbol’s head with the sword strike, I really love that entire sequence so much
For real though, when you put it into thought, Clive is 15 right here....so you telling me a 15 year old literally ran towards that hoe with sharp teeth and leaped so high to smash that thang???!!! Aint ever gonna catch me doing that at 21 years old😂😂
Yes! The moment of "Can't get myself out of this, might as well use the momentum to my advantage!" as the Morbol is trying to suck everything and swallow him
It's the first real sign of Clive's resilient spirit. A 15 year old kid is expected to go up against that monstrosity, and before he's swallowed up he dives straight in and snatches victory from the literal jaws of defeat. I think that's why it's special, perfectly timed at 1:29 for that perfect cinematic music to highlight the moment
It's truly amazing how the emotions of the music transition from one to another! 1:07 being self doubt, 1:16 being acceptance, and 1:42 being pure confidence.
@@iaxacs3801I’ve listened to both. I’m generally not a big Soken fan. That said, 16 is the best I’ve heard from Soken. This is legit one of my favorite final fantasy soundtracks and I’m no casual listener.
But what about them tubas and percussion at 0:30 following behind the violins and then the same melody plays but with the trumpets and then while the trumpets play, the percussion changes up making it sound very bombarding
@@Jailbird_01 love that he has a Title and a personality, and not just called random imperial dragoon. There's like an entire backstory you could imagine of him being the Knight of Blinding Dawn
Me being level 39 and the dragon is 50. This is where this song resonates with me the most. The longer the battle the more excited I get. Edit: I just got the platinum and imma miss this song so much man!
Best part of the game right here. I miss 15-year-old Clive 😢 We were blessed with such a great prelude in this game... I was so looking forward to way more playtime as the kids...
@@Battle_testedPupa Same. I initially didn't like child Clive because of his design but he grew on me so much that I prefer him now to the other versions of him.
He just surpasses his adult version in so many ways. He's mature, gentle, sweet, and you get to see so many more facets of his personality than when he's older, broody, and with that terrible gravelly voice... Bonus because we get to see him interacting with Joshua the most here. ❤ I just love these brothers so much... ❤
1:42 I always keep coming back to this specific part because it straight up sounds like the music is giving the player a pat on the back and telling you to keep going buddy you can do it! Masayoshi Soken is a musical genius let me tell you!!
Dammit I gotta geek here. That buildup at 1:34 is so good and then the payoff at 1:42 is such a battle theme, but also really subdued. Like it could be a dance or a waltz. And then I realized it is a waltz! It's in 3/4 time signature so it's mean to feel like a dance. Most other ff themes have been in traditional 4/4. But with the focus on parrying, dodging, timing your specials... It makes sense that this game's fights would feel less like a traditional battle and more like a choreographed dance. And that main buildup and melody/motif comes up in the beginning of the main battle theme because you hear it most often even if you beat a group of enemies quickly, BUT it comes back in full force in this theme much later because these fights take longer (typically mini bosses) and Soken knows you're going to reach that part of the song. So right when you're in the midst of the fight, you get rewarded with the theme you've heard over and over but a glorified banger version of it. Every time you hit a parry or dodge on the downbeat during that 1:44 part... It's pure magic.
Exaccctttllllyy literally the best part. Also for me at 0:30 hearing the Tubas go along with the violins and then then the trumpets play the same melody. Love ittttt!!!! literally
the start of this has huge FFX vibes. FFXVI is taking a lot of inspiration from older titles. One of the other songs in FFXVI had FFVIII vibes. So good.
This track is my favorite but once it hits at 1:42 its just crazy fire from there on out. I make my own videogame music myself and I must respect and tip my cup to the beautiful arrangement of this track. Major props to Masayoshi Soken.
Never has a song almost bring me to tears of joy . Just pure epicness !! You feel the power ....unstoppable....unbeatable.... pushing forward...GIVING IT ALL YOU GOT . SUCH A EPIC SONG . CANT WAIT TO HOP ON THIS GAME
@@hashgnome9326 With Hamauzu in charge of FF7R music and Soken in charge of FF16 music, the series is definitely in good hands. These two make for excellent successors to Uematsu.
I have no idea what people are talking about, obviously the best part in the entire track (and many other tracks in a very long time) is 1:21 How dare you people skip past this part?
This battle theme just blew me away!!! Thanks Soken !!! What a great game so far. I have the old vibes where a game really pulls me in. We have so much crapp in the gaming industry at the moment, so this game is just beautiful
*Ohhh* that's pipe organ I'm hearing there! I was still trying to figure out why that section felt so much heavier and impactful to me. I can hear it clearly now that you spot it out.

Facts, Im listening to it while I do my workout. (On leg day it gives an extra edge) 😅
Man this song hits HARD when you're fighting the dragoon
when you get the stagger and just start fucking laying into the boss and then the music starts ramping up, like HOLY SHIT 🥶🥶
That music actually helped make the fight against him FUN, even though it was already enjoyable to begin with
That and the captain call outs were so dope. I bet he was so proud of Clive. "He's open!"
"Clive! Have at him!"
And just going to town. Man I can't wait to fully play this.
Dude was posing like he's the main character of Final Fantasy XVI
@Koshi Lowell well he was played by the same VA as Estinien who is the main Dragoon that joins you in 14 so it makes sense lol
1:42
People often say "The best BGM is the type that you don't notice". But I always disagree with this. If you notice it then you KNOW it's caught your attention and it's good. This is exactly one of those moments.
100% like how heroic can a song be when you have that melody playing ay 1:42
Hard agree. I was playing this and jamming the whole time, this track rocks.

We’re buying a soundtrack. The game just comes with it.
Reminds me of... all previous FF and NieR games
YoshiP says to Soken: "we're gonna need about 150 or so tracks to fill this game. can you and your team do that for us?"
"Yeah i think we can do that."
215 tracks. absolute legends.
Bro i'm thinking the same. Music from FF7 Remake were so damn good. I hope it will be the same for FF16. It will be crazy
@@steveh1474 really 215?
@divideandconquerasia7051 No, I don't cry like a little bitch when Weight Of The World plays. Definitely not. That would be crazy.
Im happy all the non FFXIV players out there can finally listen to Soken's work. This whole game's ost is going to be great throughout.
His work in endwalker is unmatched
@@yoshisauce9630until 7.0 🤣 at this point he and his team are just flexing
I wish the 7.0 build is released in a little, so after I finish FF XVI I will be playing it. Unfortunately the graphics breaks my immersion in online games. I will be more than READY when it comes out. Im like years waiting for the overhaul!!
@@ff.mychael just use a shader and the game looks beautiful
I mean, besides the fact he's done about 20 other games outside XIV
This song inspires me so fucking much bruh like seriously. It’s been over a year and it still hits hard every time!
This is one of the best battle themes I’ve heard in quite a while.
Soken went hard af
saaaaame! Adrenaline rush
FACTS!!
It probably is the SINGLE GREATEST battle theme ever composed.
Must not have heard much...compare it to Octopath 2 boss themes lol
I hope FF16 wins the video game music award of the year.
And won
Gano
I was gonna say, if it doesn’t win, FF14 is definitely up there❤
And so they did
It did win the award
1:40 that pressure to keep going and not give up is so emotionally backed by this part of the song. Master piece

I enjoyed getting azuna dropped in the forest to this part 😂
Fucking hype especially when you time it together with the cinematic attack/evade/clash moments!
Good to know there’s a few of us who felt that moment the in similar ways!!!
@@grlbcc I still feel it on every hunt
I feel like this is the real boss battle theme
This is probably the normal boss theme, while the one played in Benedikta fight was the vs Eikon battle
This and probably the one that plays when Fafnir is fought also counts as boss theme.
I believe this is the Hunt marks theme
This is the hunt battle theme. It was played during that IGN video
@@nunyabusiness69 or maybe the hunts just use the main boss theme? 👀
Fighting a morbol has never been this epic ever before in FF.
Who else is playing this in the car on loop?
Rides to work never felt better
Bro it goes so hard
Max volume every time during 1:24 cause this is just complete perfection
So cool to See the Complete Life of Clive in this wonderful epic Game. The best Journey ive hat in a Game for a while.
I’m just happy to be experiencing this amazing moment in time with all of you. Thank you!
Me too, I'm very happy about it. 😃
Agreed, this is such an exciting resurgence for the FF fan base!
I will never give up on this franchise, it means too much to me.
I just love finding out that other people experienced the music in a game the same way I did 🥲
cheers brothers !!
1:40 really gives off that "strike now!" Feeling. Love Soken
I love that Soken has this down to a science, with the "stagger phase" portion of the song coming on about every 2 minutes, which makes it easier for the fight designers to make it fit into boss battles.

@@DigitalMaruo he was inspired by the transition thingy that the Octopath Traveler composer did during battles
That 2 minute burst affected even the music lmao
That's actually amazing. I was wondering how the music kept timing perfectly with that part of the music where you just wanna wail on the damn thing
@@DigitalMaru Yeah that's what many games do nowadays that have stagger phases
I don't know about anyone else, but this is enough to bring a tear to my eye. The sheer amount of fun I had in some of these battles with this music going brought me back to some of the happiest days of my childhood.
The music of this game is just unmatched. Bahamut fight music FLOORED me
Best motivational boss fight music ever
You should hear the rest of the BSO, is mind blowing.

"You're gonna pay for that, boy."
"Now Clive! Take it down!"
"He is vulnerable!"

Man. When you’re fighting a boss and doing really well and the section at 1:43 kicks in. There’s nothing like it. I love the dynamic music so far from the demo.
Yea its the most hyped up part of the song. It kind of uplifts you
Fighting to this music was probably one of hyped gaming moments easy!
Yeah it's gets you all hyped up! It's like the song is telling you to not give up and keep fighting!
I just made a very similar comment the saw this. 🤝
If I was a music writer I’d be proud to have this as the final boss of a game
This is exactly what final fantasy does, make normal boss themes sound like final boss themes
Needs to be something more operatic and dreadful sounding then switch to this when you start getting the upper hand and triumph.
@@Gomezli16Exactly. Final boss battles shouldn't start triumphantly. They should more or less follow sonata form. But depending on the plot, genre, etc., maybe you want it to start triumphantly, just not for the vast majority of games.
This is more of himself getting over self doubt and proving himself
I remember thinking the same when I heard Sabre's Edge from XIII for the first time (especially as it builds up), but XVI is now on a whole other level. The tension and stress in the music sounds like it would be the end of the game!
My god when 1:43 first hit for me I got up from the couch and was fully invested. Shit got me pumped.
When it suddenly reveals the dragoon and plays this that's when I peen rised and it felt like classic FF
Same lol only I was laying down because I was sick and couldn't move much except my fingers (he he). I sat the fuck up for that part and when I realized that I did I couldn't believe it
My best friend did the same thing as he was playing 😂 Then when the battle was over he's like.. "Wow.. that was so much fun"
Thank you for syncing up the music at 1:42
Notice how the music picks up when Clive has the enemy staggered.
That's intentional!
No risk, No reward is the title of this masterpiece. Find this in game. Play it at the hideaway. Your welcome 😊
Ngl I did this as soon as I could in game 😂
This is just Incredible, there is so much emotion put on this track that it's even physically palpable

I really thought I’d get tired of hearing this theme for all the hunt bosses but man this theme is just so damn good it never got old
This song lives rent free in my head..never sick of it at all. Hype asf man.
1:40 I screamed this ost is a banger!!!!
This song feels like it's out of FFXII or FF tactics. It's got that grand, orchestra feel.
If the rumors are true that FF Tactics is getting a remake then I hope Soken gets to do a few tracks.
It also gives me some FFX vibes too! Some parts feel like one of the boss themes (particularly the parts early on when you're fighting Sin.) This is just spectacular!

Yes! The moment of "Can't get myself out of this, might as well use the momentum to my advantage!" as the Morbol is trying to suck everything and swallow him
Fuck it. I’m going there. This game was more fun than FF7 remake/rebirth
That goosebump when the 1st cinematic stab on the Morbol head. There may be alot of iconic big battle fight scene. But this is something else.
It's the first real sign of Clive's resilient spirit. A 15 year old kid is expected to go up against that monstrosity, and before he's swallowed up he dives straight in and snatches victory from the literal jaws of defeat.

One of the best tracks that ive heard in recent years .. so epic and full of emotions

Thankyou! Purchased the soundtrack and been trying to locate this exact piece of music.

Most other ff themes have been in traditional 4/4. But with the focus on parrying, dodging, timing your specials... It makes sense that this game's fights would feel less like a traditional battle and more like a choreographed dance.
And that main buildup and melody/motif comes up in the beginning of the main battle theme because you hear it most often even if you beat a group of enemies quickly, BUT it comes back in full force in this theme much later because these fights take longer (typically mini bosses) and Soken knows you're going to reach that part of the song. So right when you're in the midst of the fight, you get rewarded with the theme you've heard over and over but a glorified banger version of it.
Every time you hit a parry or dodge on the downbeat during that 1:44 part... It's pure magic.
Every time you hear this song know you found a worthy foe!
This music is progressive like the ff12 boss fight musics, love it.
This theme being for the humble Morbol and then the final highest level S tier hunt boss was quite a journey
1:43 best part
had to get up and start dancing at this part.
Exaccctttllllyy literally the best part. Also for me at 0:30 hearing the Tubas go along with the violins and then then the trumpets play the same melody. Love ittttt!!!! literally
Yes!
Goosebump inducing, absolutely hype!
This song is actually by Ryo Furukawa. Soken is credited for his motifs used.
the start of this has huge FFX vibes. FFXVI is taking a lot of inspiration from older titles. One of the other songs in FFXVI had FFVIII vibes. So good.
1:43 has me in tears its so f’in good
I KNOW it legitimate made me get emotional
This track is my favorite but once it hits at 1:42 its just crazy fire from there on out. I make my own videogame music myself and I must respect and tip my cup to the beautiful arrangement of this track. Major props to Masayoshi Soken.
1:43 to 2:18 is the best part of the song for me 💖🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Never has a song almost bring me to tears of joy . Just pure epicness !! You feel the power ....unstoppable....unbeatable.... pushing forward...GIVING IT ALL YOU GOT . SUCH A EPIC SONG . CANT WAIT TO HOP ON THIS GAME
Right!!! Omg!
That and all as one is a banger
I have played many FF games. I have to say this is one of the best battle themes ever IMO.
I love this song. It honors the old games ost’s while adding a modern twist to it. One of my favorite songs of all time!!!
Holy shit, I absolutely love this.
I genuinely think this might be amongst the best boss themes Square-Enix/Square-Soft has ever done.
Agreed!
Absolutely. Although I personally feel FF XIIIs Sabers Edge boss battle is also an amazing adrenaline rush.
@@hashgnome9326 With Hamauzu in charge of FF7R music and Soken in charge of FF16 music, the series is definitely in good hands.
These two make for excellent successors to Uematsu.
@BknMoonStudios SE is just loaded with great game composers. Even outside of the FF series there's a mountain of golden music to indulge in
Its so good that it could be a final boss theme. We are spoiled with Soken
Big shout out for pulling of full Magic Burst in the combo. Exceed Excellence!
This is the tune I've been looking for! Ugh, so fire. 🔥
They get better and better and better and better and better and better with the music. I do feel more absorbed into the battle.
One of the best final fantasy games yet. They really nailed it and the soundtracks like this one too
1:42
This bit. Holy hell I swear I skip the goosebumps phase and just straight up explode whenever I hear this bit.
I'm replaying this game ever since Clive got to Tekken 8 Still just as great as the first time 😁
So thats the boss theme right? Definitely a catchy and memorable melody
I was looking for this theme, thank u ❤
I just love this song
One of the best boss battle themes EVER CREATED ❤
Fr he’s so badass ! 🔥
And like always this Series never disappoints in terms of OST!!
I have no idea what people are talking about, obviously the best part in the entire track (and many other tracks in a very long time) is 1:21
How dare you people skip past this part?
This battle theme just blew me away!!! Thanks Soken !!! What a great game so far. I have the old vibes where a game really pulls me in. We have so much crapp in the gaming industry at the moment, so this game is just beautiful
1:07 is literally the part that made me fall in love with this song.
The pipe organ went 🔥
*Ohhh* that's pipe organ I'm hearing there! I was still trying to figure out why that section felt so much heavier and impactful to me. I can hear it clearly now that you spot it out.
When u put this song in hideaway and torgal panic jump not understanding why he hear boss fight
