Yes. As you wish my lord
Bought the ultimate edition
How did you manage to beat the youtube algorithm?
@Barnabas I will definitely pick up this track when it releases!

"Fire works well!"
Ah, sorry, I got my Dragon's Dogma in your Final Fantasy.
Every Final Fantasy game is essentially Square Enix releasing a new music album that just happens to come with a game. FF games may vary in quality but the soundtrack is always nothing but bangers.
True. Especially when my favourite OST is that of FF XIII
Agreed, say what you want about FFXIII and XV but the music in those games are straight fire.
If a developer ever fucks up a FF ost then we've truly entered the dark times lol.
@@platnumbreaker how about FF12 ost?
@@KateikyoshiDX 12 was alright. Not terrible or anything in a good way. It has that high fantasy feel overall similar to earlier titles
I purchased this game yesterday with low expectations and ended up playing it until really late at night totally hooked and excited. Wow! I’m in shock! I’m 40 and sadly I don’t have too much time to play video games anymore but this reminded me why I loved the FF games years ago.
The soundtrack and voice acting, I’m very happy!
This seems to be a massive return to form and I'm glad. I only got into the series a few years ago so this is the first brand new one to release for me.
Same here , my mind is blown! I’m Also very happy to get some old school final fantasy vibes back for once. I love this game so far, I can’t seem to turn it off.
I'm also 40, and you are gonig to love it if you keep playing, it has a "classic" feeling :) really one of the best FF in a long long time
for real! i expected it to be at least a 3/5 but it was a 10/5!!! the game is so good.
We're around the same age, and I agree totally. Can't justify a PS5 just for this game, but the second a cheaper model comes out, I'm all in!
This is a great song that sounds like making an homage to Don't be Afraid (battle theme of FF8). It's one of the best music I heard in a Final Fantasy in post-Nobuo Uematsu era
Didn't even think about that but yeah, the very beginning especially is very reminiscent of it! Awesome!
Yeah it really does. I also kinda get slight Blinded by the Light (XIII) vibes too. It’s honestly an amazing.
Soken pays homage to all the classic ff songs in ff14 music its truely a treat to hear
Around 1:10 or so it reminds of the Eureka field theme
Oh boy, you need to hear Soken work on FF XIV for those post Uematsu era of FF music.
Anything after Heavensward is most likely Soken's work.
Try Wurm's Tail, Eden Promise, Endcaller and Voidcast Saviour.
Actually for me it is an hommage to all the credibly talented composers who crafted the soundscapes of FFs past. If you listen carefully, the first part is really Nobuo Uematsu with Don't Be Afraid from Final Fantasy VIII. With the rythm of the strings and the triangle which is really not common. Then, the second part looks like "Esper Battle" From Final Fantasy XII (Hitoshi Sakimoto) with the tubular bells, the powerfulls horns and the way that the percussions are playing. Then, the third part is really close to the musics of Yoko Shimomura from Final Fantasy XV, KH, ETC. with the violin playing with long notes and in the back you Can listen to the epic horns which give the rythm and the quick percussions. It is really Shimomura. Then the last part, its an hommage to Masashi Hamauzu, from final fantasy XIII. One single string with a glamour melody, and of course the piano in the back that Hamauzu loves so much. Then the single string ends with a higher note. It really looks like final fantasy XIII.
That is why I love so much this music. I can recognize the style of 4 emblematics composers of Final Fantasy ❤❤❤ thank You Soken Sama and sorry for my english, I'm french.
Dude your English is superb, don’t worry about it, and your analysis of this battle theme is the best I’ve ever seen, it’s totally on the dot
Friend, not only is your English great, you also understand music equally well, unlike those who think of Nobuo Uematsu and little else when they hear this. Your ears and tongue/writing are likely the best to be had/heard.
I never realized it before, thanks for pointing it out for us❤ also your English actually pretty good👍
This is awesome analysis! I got that "wait... this sounds super familiar" feeling but couldn't put my finger on it.
It is definitely a “on the shoulders of giants” kind of thing, but all melded together in its own epic grandiosity. I love it ❤
Thanks, man. Time to listen to this on repeat for 10 days.
It really be like that man
you're not alone
At work like ".... Im gonna listen to the battle theme again"
give the ffxiv soundtrack a listen to if you want some more soken, 'torn from the heavens' is one of the iconic themes similar to this one, but 'on blade's edge' is probably my favorite
@@JimboSlice83 ACTUALLY DOING THAT
The melody below The main battle theme around 1:07 is the best part of this music for me.
Late reply but it is the motif from the Eureka Exploration theme from FF14. its also heard in the Eikon battle theme. I love it so much! 😭
@@starsixsix i've only played ff7 remake and this one so idk, but even if its not that unique as it appears to me, this game spins on classic ff themes are marvellous.
I love this part the melody here is so rich I find myself thinking about this from time to time
Grips my heart I always think about the struggle the little brother must have felt here not knowing what was going on when he was fighting his brother in the begining
totally bloodstained vibes
This theme is stuck in my head now. Classic final fantasy, having battle themes being stuck in your head.
Already a Classic !
It's been stuck in my head for like a month, I find myself humming the chorus every day multiple times, it's my favorite battle theme after a lot of thought.
@@IdentifiantE.S Makes no sense !!!
Yeah man i remember playing XIII and that shit kicked in. So many good OSTs
Reminds me of FF8's battle theme a little bit
Many elements of this game, music, the presentation, character development, level design etc all feel heavily inspired by the older final fantasies for ps1 and ps2 and I love it. Feels like ff again
Immediately thought of 8’s theme. Love this new battle theme
Oh yeah, me too. I didn’t even notice until it was pointed out. I’m loving everything about the demo so far, even the slight FPS dips and motion blur is easily looked over.
@@brandonmcduff Yeah!! 😅
Many elements of this game remind me of FF8.
Soken is truly the one to take over the FF OST Mantle.
Hamauzu too
@@jorgemurilo6456most definitely
@@jorgemurilo6456 only problem is that Hamauzu isn't in SE anymore he left SE and become a freelancer for years now he still work on SE project though mainly CBU1 game while Soken is still in SE
He took it to new levels with FFXIV, imo
Yoko joined the chat 💬
The demo is absolutely amazing.
Tales of ARISE is the best Namco Tales title by far.
Final Fantasy XVI is definitely gonna be the best Final Fantasy title to date.
I was honestly so skeptical of this game because the combat seemed too flashy. The demo made me preorder right after beating it
Best demo I’ve ever played in my life.
@@AspieGamer1986tales of arise was terrible what are you talking about
@@omensoffate You're terrible at social interactions huh miserable little guy throughout the comments aren't ya
From 0:00 to 0:50 is a musical aliteration nod and homage to the grandmaster Nobuo Uematsu in which Soken uses the motif from Final Fantasy 8 - "Don't Be Afraid" to directly tie anticipation and nostalgia into one bundle..
From 0:52 onward we hear the next titan composer honored Hitoshi Sakimoto, Square's next addition to thier lineup in 1997 with FF Tactics. Soken uses a lietmotif from "Esper Battle" which is from FFXII.
From 1:09 onwards we are brought back to Soken's own work from FFXIV - "Wicked Winds Whisper" which is played in Eureka.
Then from 1:45 onwards we come to the Masashi Hamauzu Era or Squaresoft merging into Square Enix with FF 13 and its leitmotif nod to "Blinded by Light". Soken uses a single string line with a chromatic melody and really leans towards Hamauzu's style with airy notes.
Soken then decides to honor the latest addition to the Final Fantasy mainline series and longtime veteran Yoko Shiomura.
At 2:35 we now hear his leitmotif for "Apocalypse Noctis" from FFXV.
Then subtle overlays including at 3:10 with a Hitoshi Sakimoto nod with the tubular bells.
He juggles back to Yoko Shiomura around 3:27 and were back with Noct and the boys with another reprise of Wicked Winds Whisper.
The song is insane and I do believe I hear a little homage to FFXI as well with the bridge being similar to "Onslaught" in which the snare drums and percussive elements are very attacking and charging in nature. It is composed by another great creative mind, Naoshi Mizuta.
You're hearing things wtf
Excellent breakdown my dude! Very much appreciated especially when you notice these homages in the track like "hang on isn't that..." Ye know? So cheers
@@NotChannel2 Hearing more than we did my dude, he's spot on though.
Notice how actual bangers like FFX-2, FF7, FFX, FF4, FF5, FF13 etc. are nowhere mentioned. I'm sorry but this is orchestrated white noise. The games you've listed have completely mediocre melodies and harmonies. The true OST effort went into FF7 remake.
@@LaJin9292 I love all of Hamauzu's work on FF7R and FF13, Matsueda made one of my favorite sequel soundtrack in the FF franchise with FFX2 and FF4, FF5 and FF6 are among my top games for the franchise. From the Four Fiends theme to Kefkas theme they all are amazing composers. Hamauzu first was brought to my attention with his skilled work on FFX and Unlimited Saga before composing for FF13 and FF7 Remake.
How people do not like this games music is beyond me, ff fans are strange.
Actually it is the song of FF legacy together FF8,FF12,FF13,FF14 solid
FF fans are like Star Wars fans
people like its music though I've only seen praise fo it, it even won an award
The battle themes are indeed fantastic, but the location and ambient music is pretty mid.
Because it's generic.
None of the music is bad, it's just mostly boring. There's like 3 pieces of music in this game that I can remember after beating this game, and I don't care to go back and repeat listen to any of them. Extremely disappointing soundtrack.
1:08 is where Soken uses the motiff from "Wicked Winds Whisper" from Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood expansion (Eureka, the Forbidden Land - Overmap BGM).
yep, I get PTSD every single fucking time it kicks in
@@SprDrumio64 When Pazuzzu?
In one of the recent alex moukala videos, he says that development for 16 started post heavensward, so it's possible eurkea is actually referencing/based on this battle theme
Thank you for this! its honestly my favorite motiff from this battle theme
Yes! I absolutely got Eureka vibes from this
this might be undoubtfully the best battle theme of the franchise.
so epic
FF 4, FF 7, FF 10, FF 15 says hello
@@BeanMan157sorry ff8 ff12 ff13 and ff16 all all have better themes than the games you named
“I’m here to even the odds, any objections?.”
"I'll take the dragon. Clive, you can focus on the dragoon."
Wow this sounds like it pays major tribute to "Don't Be Afraid" from FF8 and that warms all the nostalgic corners of my heart! ❤
100% Agree
VIII always go under the radar in the golden era games because most see it as the poorest overall game of the bunch. But from an OST standpoint, it's 100% my favorite.
@@Josh-mu7qyI love the Junction system a lot.
@@charlie1234500 lol junction the eikons to yourself. I love 8, it's one if my favorite titles minus the card game
It's Soken. If it sounds as it's playing a tribute, it is.
"Sic em Torgal!"
1:44-2:18. Pure elegance.
Soken is just a genius my friend
You know it what. During that part I somewhat get FF13 battle theme vibes.
This is my favorite part. It always makes me think of Joshua. The Eikon battle’s rendition of this section is even sadder
Pure trash
its SO good
There’s a lot of tragedy in this theme, and also a lot of inspiration from Uematsu’s work in the previous titles. It’s so good how Soken plays with old notes and modernizes them to a current trend.
We can call that a banger 😄
What do you mean there's a lot of tragedy?
@@s3_singularity187 Overall song is very melancholic throughout. It sounds like a battle theme but more desperate, like people fighting for their lives. You can compare this to other battle themes like Persona 5 where the overall tone is more upbeat but still a fight song nonetheless, as if they're getting ready to give it their all.
0:33 best part but the entire song is supreme, probably the most beautiful battle theme of the franchise for me now.
Correct.
the leitmotiv comes back for the boss battle and it's so good
Got one 👍
1:44 … gawd damn !!!!
It's so beautiful and sad yet somehow still fits as part of a battle
It screams nothing but Joshua to me. And now I have to cry to the night sky
can't wait for this ost to be fully released on YT! I keep coming back to this video and still can't get over how beautiful the violins are!
This is so good I heard the start of FF8 battle theme, then the battle vs Espers of FF12, after that some FF14 style that moved to FF15 and at the end some FF13, I'm loving this OST
so its basically a FF theme XD
1:08 sounds like Magicked Skulls from FFXIV's Eureka ost
@@jorgelumill158DEFINITELY no wonder I felt so much nostalgia… I hear a masterful mash up of past battle themes. 🥹

The song is amazing.
That beginning has so much classic vibes on the previous games Love it
Idem j'en peux plus je suis à bout, j'ai l'impression qu'on tient ici le renouveau de la saga putainn (BTW j'ai aussi fait mon interprétation guitare sur ma chaine :) :) :) )
It's FF8's battle song. It's not a vibe. It's the same song.
Lol not even close, just the beginning
This soundtrack is off the rails. They spent some serious money on this, its incredible.
The haters dont know what their talking about this game rocks
Final fantasy has the best battle themes known to man,10/10 bruh
Pokemon and Mario and Luigi would like to know your location
@@SMCwasTaken FF bests them all in the OST realm in every single facet.
@@ZephyrFate yeah ff OST is good but not that good
Gotta be thankful. FF8 battle theme was remade for FF16. Same epicness all over again ❤
This is pretty much what i expect for a modern FF battle theme, it retains the classic feels in the intro before quickly dive into more "cinematic" feels with how FF combat evolve overtime
This battle theme is so good man!!!
I can hear all the legacy of Final Fantasy in this theme.
Soken is a God.
I absolutely love this theme and it gets me hyped to battle random monster.
I wish I could relive the experience of playing this game for the first time again. So incredible 🤩
When fighting against goblins and rock turtles sounds you’re going up against a final boss, you know they hit it out of the park with this soundtrack. I’m blown away by this game so far!
This game is a masterpiece
This game is absolutely mind blowing , it’s like tactics, and what 15 should have been with dragons dogma
FFXV walked so FFXVI could run as fast as Usian Bolt
They looked at Noctis' Warp Strike and went "that was one of the best ideas they had, let's put it somewhere better"
Then we got Phoenix Shift
@@RasenRendanX ff15 barely crawled lmfao
FF16's FOV is too close. FF15's camera is actually better for the warp-heavy real time action combat they're going for.
@@paulklp8262 I disagree it’s cinematic but the combat needs less of that to concentrate on positions and combo potential. To much cinematic angling and shit would ruin your placement.
1:10 is where I started hearing the Ys8 opening and Spiral of Erebos, and that just made me fall in love with this song even more. I need falcom team and Soken to collab on an official song now!
Holy shit that does sound like Ys.. Jindo and Soken collab would be crazy
OMGGGG YOU'RE FUCKING RIGHT WTFFFF
ofc those who haven't played cold steel wouldn't get that reference but holy shit bruh 🤯🤯🤯
if your'e interested, this part is from ff14 "wicked winds whisper" eureka theme which is made by soken too. it's really good
I KNEW IT SOUNDED FAMILIAR, it really made me hum the main theme for ys 8, that game is my second favorite of all time (Persona 5 and 5 Royal are number 1 for me)
Ys 8's opening wasn't from sound team jdk/Falcom. it was an outsourced song to Yukihiro Jindo
1:43 is absolutely magical
Unbelievably catchy and a banger of a theme. Already stuck in my head and I just started playing!
BIG FF8 VIBES, LOVE IT
I honestly think soken its a fan of ff viii ost, he even arrange some tracks for shadowbringers ff xiv expansion. Awesome
Thank you SQUARENIX for remastering my favorite battle theme from my favorite & first FF game
While people say “newer final fantasy isn’t final fantasy”, I find this to be better than the original combat system. I do like the turn based combat, but real time, open world combat just has a different feeling to it. You have so much more control over the fight and you have to actually be smarter than your enemies, which is what makes newer final fantasy games better and more unique in their own way.
I don't even understand that view point they have for FF. The combat system isn't what makes any of the games a FF game. For me anyway, it's usually the story having some common theme between the series. Most of them have a theme revolving around crystals (not all of course). Or something else tying them together. I think and this is my opinion of course, that a lot of people are blinded by nostalgia and are unwilling to embrace change. If the games stayed the exact same then there's no point of me buying new ones tbh.
*Sigh* has it really been 16 games in?....man the time flies by doesnt it..... ive been playing final fantasy games since i was about 5 years old (first one was 4 on super nes then II) my older brother introduced it to me, id sit down and we'd try to figure out where to go...how to beat bosses, which gear to put on who......and ive been playing every main line game (and spin offs too) ever since, im so happy to see that it made it to 16, it was my dad that rented us final fantasy II on snes back in the day, he's gone now, my mom too she'd rent us mario rpg alot lol...shes gone as well.... but ever since they did that when i play one; old or in this case, a new one... i think of them, and ill keep playin them until im gone too, lets all keep playin these games. *wipes the tears and keeps playing*
Thank you so much, been waiting to hear it in full since the trailers!
Is this the same song from the playstation showcase. It sounds similar but not 100% a like
@@tiberuishunter5390 it is! I think it might sound different since we can hear it better too.
@@naoisme actually found the song for the showcase. It's the Morbol Battle

1:43 I CANNOT COMPREHEND SUCH MUSICAL MAGESTY…
The end of the demo absolutely gutted me, sadness for Joshua and Clive and a seething hatred for Anabelle.
Bitch mom
How it happened 1 hour in you saw Joshua for 5 mins.
@@omensoffate look really feel you on this one because i had the same feeling as the comment above and was really confused as how they got that emotional reaction from me despite how little time you spend with those set of characters. But I think Joshua's personality shines through even with the small amount of time that you spend with him, at least enough to pull some sort of emotion if you like don't have too high expectations for story telling. I do agree that the emotional payoff would be times more effective if the game gave you more time with him but at least for me and some other folk it was enough to at least get something out of us.
@@JehuisRad exactly it made me somehow love joshua and Clive in an hour 😭 that’s good writing
@@omensoffate Sure but the prologue is well, prologue. It establishes the main characters' motivations, backstory and friends ahead of time.
It being executed well is a big bonus for a demo.
I got goosebumps!!!!
Ayyy, It reached one million!
Congratulations Barnabas, this battle theme finally gets more attention than it deserves👍
You're truly doing the lord's work with these. Can't wait for the boss battle theme 🔥
FFXVI is goty👑
the hardest part about making a battle theme is making it catchy and memorable that you never get tired of hearing it. ff16 makes childsplay of this difficulty
Gives you an idea of what final fantasy 8 remake battle theme would sound like as well.
This is my favorite song from FF 16 OST.
This Game will be so Nostalgic in couple of year.
It sounds a lot like Final Fantasy 8! Especially when Clyfe approaches the opponent with his lighter arm outstretched! Super cool! Like in the intro of FF8!!
When this hits PC or Series X, it'll be even better.
Soken to Yoshi-P: "How much epic do you want your battle theme to be this time around?"
Yoshi-P: "Yes"
Soken: "YES"
Still bumping this battle theme
Legendary
One if not the best battle theme ever
I can't have enough of this masterpiece.
Soken really pulling off that classic battle ost vibe! Has that uematsu feel with Soken twist
This is the only i slept on went it came and i’m an avid final fantasy player, and it has not disappointed me yet. The story, the battle system and the Aeons or summon fights, ifrit vs titan was the best, i was extremely impressed, once i have finished my video game design degree program, i want Square enix on my project. I actually have some cyberpunk idea with this battle system
This song is perfect, we get hype, sorrow, and triumph all in one
Reminiscence of FINAL FANTASY VIII Battle Theme. One of the best FF in the series; often called the Black Sheep of the series.
It's only fitting how VIII has arguably the best OST in the series outside XIV, and now XVI (double the number) is also coming for the crown 👑
Jacob Teague Not just OST, I'd say one of the best story and twist as well.
No one ever call FF8 the black sheep, what are you talking about? xddddd
If there is any black sheep for lots of fans, it always has been XIII, or X-2 xddd
@@gatts1989 Or II. II is also called the black sheep
Definitely the best Final Fantasy battle theme ever
Best battle theme in the series. I never thought they would top Blinded by Light but Soken did it.
Strangely enough this gave me FVIII and XIII battle theme vibes. I’m obsessed already.
@@ryanrushford7918 Yeah, the first 15 seconds sound just like the beginning of VIII's battle theme.
Blinded by light bounces around my head from time to time for several hours. This one has been too
Genius musicians
Man, Blinded by Light is really good. People can say whatever they want about XIII but when I first heard the track back when I played the game more than a decade ago, it instantly became one of my top favorite battle themes on any game. I still listen to it until now. And then XVI's battle theme came along and my list now just welcomed a new family member lol
it's not good as blinded by light.
Multiple great melodies throughout the entire piece
Never played much Final Fantasy. Don’t know anything about the lore or the games other than 7. The demo for 16 absolutely blew me away!
Welcome to the franchise! Each Final Fantasy as its own story and world. You can totally start with 16. 😌
I hear a-lot of Masashi Hamauzu and Nobuo Uematsu vibes from this piece; it sounds so damn good. Especially around this point 1:44, a-lot of Hamauzu feel to it!
During that part I get FF13 vibes 😃
This song has been rent free in my head for months and I would have rioted if it hadn't won score of the year.
Imagine being tasked with writing an OST that calls back to 30 years of seriously memorable music, and when you ask what key to put it in, they're like "all of them?!"
And he fucking over delivered, I'm so happy for him. This OST is a masterpiece that should be studied forever.
Official name of the track is Sixteen Bells.
Really good piece of music
The whole soundtrack is on fire for real. If its the mild outskirt tunes that play along your journey or this absolute banger of battle music. It's the best composition I've experienced in a LONG time in gaming.
Agreed, i thought ff 10-2 had good battle themes or even ff 7 rendgade being my favourite, but damn does this top it
This theme has got me. The harmonics and notation make this so lively but also dramatic. And yea. In a deadly fantasy world every battle would feel like this. Very fitting.
Soken: "I've composed a battle theme that will make every single listener feel like they can take on the World. A theme of utter badassery that you will not tire of hearing over your 50 hour playthrough"
Me: 🤩
The solo violin really gets you off guard while beating up that adamantoise.
This one is just like FF8, no wonder it sounds familiar. I can almost hear Quistis' whip
dude ive been waiting for his for a while now ITS SO GOOOOOD!!!!!!
Soken and his team never miss.
1:08 best part
It’s up there with FFXIII that have great battles themes.
XIII battle themes are so much better.
@@Yussnan84. no
@@Gabriel-ct1ycyes
The Battle Theme, Hunt Theme and Eikon Battle Theme are perfect renditions of the same melody and beat intensifying in relation to the battle
Had tears when I was listening to this and playing the demo 😭 This is going to be a good game.
They used Final Fantasy 8 battle theme melody, I love that. They didn't hold OMG, everything in this game is incredible
It's not exactly FF8, intro is an unusual 11/4 time signature that goes into a standard 3/4 for the rest, while FF8 was 5/4 all throughout. But in that 11/4, half the measure can be heard as 5/4 (6/4+5/4=11/4). So that little flourish along with the descending horms and the chime makes it a perfect homage to FF8 while being its own thing
@@WinkleAbidingwow you know your stuff! Music major I assume? You should apply at square Enix lol
@OrganizationXIII I'm a complete amateur lol. But time signatures I've always found interesting, especially unusual ones
Masterpiece, thanks for sharing.
Immediatly got ff8 vibes. Gosh im smitten ❤
The intro of the song reminds me on FF8 Battle Theme a lot. ;)
Great reminiscence.
I have played and heard every Final Fantasy related battle theme. This is my favourite battle theme of all time
I've been waiting for this!
Love it, and I'm glad it sounds like FF8.💖💕
Almost sounds like the FF8 battle theme.
My brain makes the Quistis whip sound when I hear the first 15 seconds.
Was looking for this OST. Very nice.
I waited so long for this LETS GOOOOO
As described in another comment here, 1:43 has a XIII feel to it and that makes my soul happy! Love the sudden change in tone, like you're near the end of the battle and a pre-fanfare is starting to build up before the end.
One of the BEST battle themes o all FF saga
My first final fantasy game!
Don’t be afraid V2 LETS GOOOOOO
