That intro bit that vibes so hard from "Don't Be Afraid" from FFVIII gives me chills. Soken is such a master at paying homage to previous FF tracks while at the same time crafting something unique and new. And Husky is unparalleled at emulating him.
@@Delmaska I’ll have to go back and listen to them again to catch the vibes, motifs, all of it cause this game has been very good so far from the story, to the characters, to the combat, and of course the music
It feels so crazy how the FF16 OST already sounds like a classic to me. I get the same feeling as when I hear pieces from my childhood and it's like I've known the song my whole life. Many of them live rent free in my head when I'm out doing stuff.
I played 1-8 on release and 16 is already my favorite battle theme, and has a few other all-time classics. I've had the chorus riffage stuck in my head for a week.
I'm getting close to the end, and it's already my favorite OST in a FF game. I've played 1-8 on release, and the series meant a lot to me as a kid, but nothing hypes me up like seeing monsters and engaging them because the song will come on. Also, the lunar serenade makes me feel ever time, and I'm rooting for Jill. Clive is a big stupid himbo, and while I like him, I feel for Jill and hope she gets hers before it ends. I'm at the part where we're destroying the second Mothercrystal, with Cid and Benna watching on.
I was totally thinking the same thing. Even so much that I turned them both on side by side and definitely heard the resemblances. It's amazing what Soken can do.
It's FF4 and FF6 for me, this game is my favorite Final Fantasy already and I feel so lucky to live long enough to grow up with those games and then experience 16, like this is the best timeline.
The leitmotifs from "Don't be Afraid" and the Eureka theme fit well with the song, I like this battle theme! And, of course, this rock cover is amazing 🔥
interesting choice for husky to do a cover of the "running away from normal battles while riding my chocobo to the quest marker" song (phenomenal cover, as always
That time signature play Soken did at the beginning, giving a sense of urgency, is wonderful. Following it up by making the rest of the battle music a _waltz_ is a work of genius.
I love when composers use the 5/4 time signature, like in the Mission Impossible theme. Makes the song sound urgent, and off-balance. And Soken uses it at the start of a battle, like when you just randomly are running around and get jumped, when both the character _and_ the player might be shocked and uncertain. Those seemingly random 5/4s are you, player and character, trying to get into the rhythm. Once you do get into the rhythm, it fully goes 6/4 (or 3/4), and you enter into this waltz, further emphasizing the dance-like action combat in the game. All this to say, props to Masayoshi Soken for his composition, and props to you for a wonderful cover.
Reaching the climax of a fight after the horns do their thing in this song is one of the best rushes I've felt in a long while. This cover perfectly conveys that selfsame feeling. Wonderful job, Husky!!
This might be a hot take, but as somebody that played all the single digit games and a little 10 and 12....this is the best battle theme they've ever done. The music in this game is just off the charts... I've never played a Final Fantasy and wanted to get in fights because it meant I'd get to hear the chorus of the battle theme as I slapped monsters around. It's a brilliant song.
Having time to sit on it and also bask in it winning music of the year, it's covers like this that contributed to its greatness. Thank you for appreciating greatness. This OST is really really special, like I don't even know how to put it. Dude doesn't even need to have a base key, he's just going to go down that keyboard and it sounds awesome. Amazing cover.
Toujours du très bon travail Husky ^^ J'espère que le jeu te plait bien et que tu prends ton pieds autant à faire le jeu qu'à retravailler les musiques x)
After unlocking eurika in ff14, I recognize the song from ff16. Ff16 battle theme song is a remaster version of Eurika, a Island you have to go to get Stormblood armor and weapons relics. Also after all the negative feedback about eurika, I actually love it!!
@@tyler8995 How Do I Unlock Eureka? Unlocking Eureka isn't too difficult. All you need to do is grab the quest “And We Shall Call It Eureka” from Galiena in Rhalgr's Reach after completing the Stormblood main scenario questline.
Is that a FFVIII "Don't be Afraid" intro??? Oh, blessed be y'all; my heart is overjoyed whenever that game is celebrated... don't know really why: of all the FFs, 8-10-12 have a special place in my memories.
We didn't get full power Soken for this game but he definitely delivered a few bangers across the soundtrack, and this theme will probably stick for a while (Also are some yt comments auto translating now or are some people just deciding to comment in french all of a sudden ?)
I almost wished that in one cut it would be you in full Clive cosplay playing that song. Amazing recreation of this piece it legit takes me back to moments in the game. Cant' wait for your next piece!
Been waiting for this cover. By the way, how similar do you feel the song is to FF11's battle theme Husky? It's like FF8 Don't be afraid meets FF11 battle theme 1.
@@Huskybythegeek It would be hard to get into, also just saw this, this is the track. (Though you probably already googled it.) It's odd because it doesn't "sound the same" I just feel that way it starts and presents itself throughout the track gives me that vibe of similarity. (Hopefully that makes sense?) ruclips.net/video/CEhyc8WjZS4/видео.html Keep on rocking!
When the music is so good within a single minute that I have to go unlock Eureka Anemos on my main so I can listen to that motif forever... For the record, I hated anemos when it first came out, so this is saying a lot.
Not sure why Soken decided to use the Eureka theme so heavily for the fight music but goodness it works so damn good. (Did the ffxiv Eureka music originate from another FF game? I am not sure.)
@@Hyperfling Haha thanks ! This one is part of a game alongside other composers and the game is releasing in chapters, but an album will be released in a few years including that song
Let's fucking GO bro!! I'm currently working on my piano cover of this. I don't have many videos but I think mine are some of the best piano game covers/arrangements on YT, so please feel free to check out. I absolutely love this track and am glad to see more sick covers, so thank you!
Can't believe Husky got to be Clive's companion in FFXVI! 🐺

Awesome again. Maybe we should be calling him "Torgal By The Geek" while he's doing the FF16 covers?
Get a little diamond-shaped tuft in the middle of that hat?
I'm already nostalgic about XVI. I want another game set in that world desperately

Soken understands uematsu's style --- a strong memorable melody. You then build the rest of the track with the melody as the backbone.
I love that the main combat theme for 16 is a revamped theme from 14. There is a lot of it that comes directly from Eureka's theme.
I was totally thinking the same thing. Even so much that I turned them both on side by side and definitely heard the resemblances. It's amazing what Soken can do.
There's plenty songs in here that I can hear similarities to shadowbringer
Yeah I hear FF14 in this much more than 8. “But it sounds like Don’t Be Afraid in the beginning!” Nah, not really
The calm, melodic part in the middle of this track always gets me. It's so good
same, i still cant believe soken used the eureka theme on the battle theme
Feels like a classic FF battle theme. PS1 and PS2 era flashbacks….daaaamn

Great cover!
I can't believe you actually have the FF XIV x Fender strat 😂
This a sub if I ever did see one. This FF track is probably the best battle theme now.
Part of the FF16 battle theme kind of reminds me of the Forbidden Land of Eureka theme from FF14
Yessss! Sokens music has done it again of course and your interpretations are fantastic
that waltzing tune.1:44
Been waiting for this one!
FF16 is tooooo damn op and this is my favorite fighting theme
Crazy awesome!!!
Amazing as always!! 😁
Soken is just so good.
After finishing XVI, I have this on repeat when fighting in XIV
How do you think a Histoire- The Holy Empire of Sanbreque goes rock would sound? It's a little more on the gentle side I'd say.
fantastic
Soken cover specialist 🤩
YES! J'ai terminé FFXVI au courant du week-end, la soundtrack est complètement insane. Bien content d'écouter tes covers à chaque fois, good job!
I see a new Husky upload, I'll give a like. I see a FF16 related video, I'll give a like. If only I can give a double like on this video
Sixteen bells has the fanfare of sastasha normal until the chorus tbh. I love when remixes commit to making the songs exciting from the start
