During the Garlemald mission where I left alone and all the odds against me then the music started, I knew it will be the test of my worth of the name warrior of light
"Dance! Dance until death claims you!" "Such... pain..." "As my life belongs to the Empire, In death I shall serve!" "Don't... want to... die... alone..."
@@Palidor Let's not be fucking THIS harsh, dawntrail has some AMAZING BANGERS and I actually think the regular field battle music is the best in the game so far. That being said, I do think this song is still absolutely the best midboss and dawntrail will not be dethroning that.
@@narius_jaden215 Not saying Dawntrail has bad music necessarily but I feel like it doesn't beat Shadowbringers or Endwalker when it comes to most music, especially battle/boss.
I was once told this song and Finality couldnt convey desperation because "it was too upbeat" nah, you really listen to these, you get it. This is the end this is annihilation for everything if you fail. You cannot fail. Eveything hinges on your determination to see this through. It can be soul crushing if you let it be.
It’s not supposed to convey desperation imo. Both Finality and On Blade’s Edge feel more like grim determination to me. Everything’s gone and going to shit but there’s still that sliver of hope that everything will turn out alright which fits Endwalker a lot more than desperation, that theming was already covered by Shadowbringers.
I know a lot of people seem to dislike that certain solo duty in Garlemald where this plays... but I absolutely love it, and it's THE scene I associate with this song. Things are looking bad, you're alone and at your weakest... but there's more to the Warrior of Light than just their strength. And this is where you prove it.
i loved that solo duty. just did it again on another character and wow. it really puts into perspective how strong you are compared to your average joe. and it really made me go woahh mmos can do this. plus this song is bop
Yeah, too bad about how they went LOL SYKE at the end though. Square-Enix is way too scared of making fans upset to do anything actually impactful with the narrative at this point.
@@dc8836 Or you know, you could just go with the community headcanon that at this point, WoL is WoL. We defeated gods, saved Etheirys from death, and much more. Also the whole narrative from Hydaelyn onwards was always that the WoL had rhe power to bring back the others, but they may of forgotten the entire time on Thule. (I'll be honest, I have a headcanon based on my Ultima Thule experience that WoL, while flooded in their emotions and sadness, forgot the power until Emet reminded her)
@@galloviking4766 Same, because I REALLY enjoy high stakes moments like that where we (the hero) are SO damn weak that there's a real and present risk of failure. It's just too bad they never expanded on it at all. Basically one cutscene and everything was back to normal. No wondering of lingering effects on our aether, etc. just.. OKay, on to Babil.
@@tickledpickle5671 If us nearly dying from Light Aether didn't have an effect once Ardbert joined with us, plus Zenos one time body hopping experience during StB has done nothing (two with our own body), I doubt our one time experience of being forced to do the same would have any affect. The only example of any adverse effect would be Lahabrea, and his was noted as due to him having done so excessively.
True enough. THough the true risk of this test was potentially having our friends slaughtered by 'us' and completely destroying any hope of the world being saved from the Tempering crisis in Garlemald, much less the Final Days. Even if 'we' didn't die in that instance, all hope would be lost, as the WoL would basically become nothing more than a murderer, sweeping across the lands, and in a way, becoming a 'harbinger' for the Final Days. It wasn't JUST about us, it was about us, and ultimately, the entire star.@@nejiharuno
This first dungeon was such a slap in the face! The bosses had simple but relentless mechanics, enough to remind you that yes, you're here to kick ass, and get your ass kicked.
Eh, the first two bosses were easy with very predictable patterns if you paid attention to their intro phases. The third boss, however.... "Hey, you thought the first two bosses and their mechanics were easy, huh? How about 90% of the ground being covered by stuff that goes off at different timings, hope you know how to move and keep moving!"
"We, the loyal soldiers of the Ist Legion, proud servants of Garlemald... Of the fallen Emperor Varis, shall safeguard these lands... from the barbarian hordes until our countrymen return!"
A-Ruhn-Senna: "Stop, both of you!" *Casts Aero III* "This child may be the worst emissary I have ever seen..." If my WoL was in Lucia's spot, he would've muttered "You gods damned fool..." while preparing to cast Midare Setsugekka as Jullus was charging towards him.
As much as I enjoy both this and "Finality," I gotta give the win to this one, if only because songs that blend orchestra and rock band elements have always been a weakness of mine. Plus I love how the vocals on the chorus always make the one or two specific mechanics they line up with feel more epic and terrifying than than anything else in the fight, regardless of difficulty.
@@bingbongdingdong867 No real crescendo, the tension is low-key, this is not an endboss theme. It's a good jam, but it's not an endboss theme by any stretch.
@@bingbongdingdong867 yeah. They defo should switch the songs around. This one is a banger for a final theme. Not sure why the mid boss theme is better than the final boss but I ain't complaining. We hear it twice in a row LOL
@@bingbongdingdong867 I strongly disagree. On Blade's Edge is a great song but it doesn't have the weight of a final boss theme. Finality definitely has that weight; swapping them would make the endboss less satisfying while making every midboss feel like the end of the dungeon.
@@ozmintheobserver I have to agree with you there. There were quite a few dungeons in Shadowbringers where "Insatiable" felt out of place, particularly Dohn Mheg and The Grand Cosmos.
as someone who has yet to enter EW content (still on SHB PMSQ) when i first heard this song during the final reaper job quest, i was like, BRUUUUUH! this song goes so hard! amazing song!
I just returned to game after years away so I created a new char and did entire MSQ start to finish and gotta say, being able to enjoy the story without months-long breaks between updates made it so incredibly amazing and epic. By the end of 4.0 (the first time round) I found myself rolling my eyes every time an Ascian was on screen but then they turned into such tragic, amazing characters.
It did a bad job at a lot of parts. No real end game goal either. Just whisking away with what they had but banri oda pulled it off somehow and the hw team did the best in this expansion with garlemald
Eh, I felt like Shadowbringers had a natural and conclusive ending by the end of its Patch quests. Endwalker didn't really need to exist in terms of story to have a complete saga. Can't deny the mechanics are fun, though. And I'm glad EW exists solely for being able to kill Hydaelin.
Yeah, when you think about it, there a LOT of people that died during these events. And most of them don’t even get to go to the afterlife or get reincarnated. XIV’s dark AF when you think about it.
I feel like this song feels… smoother? As some other have mentioned, certain parts of this damn near ALWAYS line up with certain mechs. This makes it feel very crisp, and provides a degree of elegance to it. While maneuvering while the mechanics are going off feels very much like a well choreographed dance. I love it.
so i have been giving some thought about the terminus snatcher boss. ( and this is for those who didn't get the meaning behind this fight ) so it is our first real big blasphemy that we fight . and as you know , blasphemy bring out the worst emotions in people (despair, fear . anger,regret, powerlessness,suffering etc) and those who get fully consummed by those emotions transforms into blasphemies themselves. well, you guys now know that during the "mouth off" mechanic, there are multiple mouths on the ground saying things like" i can't win, so much pain , it's hopelesss etc" and to not receive damage from the ensuing aoe is to stand on the mouths that says nothing. well what really happens is that it is a projection of, us the WoL's mind, the mouths that says something are the dark emotions that talks to us and making us feel despair, and going to the mouths that says nothing is really us choosing not to listen to those voices and keep the hopes up . i always found that it was a nice analogy and that answers the question of why , other than the blessijng of light, is not affected by the blasphemies at all .
Usually, I don't do comments under RUclips's vids, but this track though... I can't help to tell you how much I enjoyed this, and I even do more despite taking a break from my sub for months. My inner Warrior is bloody Fell Cleaving harder than ever, feeding the Berserk Power to the core.
When i heart that bossmusic at the first time i think wtf with is the music..... from A Real Reborn to Endwalker, the music becomes better and better. First time hear the song i ( omg is this a cool song!) my musik turn louder!👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 Need Devil soundbar because the musik and the bass...!❤❤❤❤❤
You should definitely give this one a chance. This is first Final Fantasy game and MMO I've sunk my teeth into and I've already clocked in over 200 hours.
The Theme of Being -- an Average Garlean Soldier. No Echo, no innate healing, just a mortal body -- and I love it immensely for that -- so glad it was chosen for that seemingly non-boss Duty. . . . because ALL of the enemies were deadly in that particular instance!
To be fair the warrior of light used to be like that too during their start of their adventure way way back in a realm reborn but grew to be this strong
Even from level one we were extraordinary. The fact that other people DON'T heal to full in a matter of moments once they have a chance to rest is ample evidence. @@PrincessTwilightdash
If somebody would ask me about my one and only favorite song from FFXIV I would say La hee. But this one is right after it, those violins and chours are amazing, I am still wondering why this is midboss theme and not last boss
i still remember the chrous hitting once the magitec pilot guy in the certain event in Garlemald was dead once i came back to him and it made me very sad ngl
This song rocks harder, and the interplay between the bass and the violins is awesome. But "Finality" is a better end boss song because it really captures the themes of Endwalker. You can just intuitively feel that its about a sense of impending alien dread that is met by a (literal) chorus of hope.
someone in shadow bringer boss theme vid : "honestly idk how are they going to top stormblood boss theme" same guy after listen to the new bgm : "oh lord..." me : "honestly idk how are they going to top it again for endwalker" me after listen to the new bgm : "oh lord..."
Your gameplay legitimately impresses me. Seriously. Half of the music videos for FFXIV I watch I look at their rotations and grasp on mechanics and it's just atrocious. I actually legitimately wonder why they chose the footage they did, because it's AoE in boss fights, multiple wipes, no tank CDs, they can't even ABC. You're fucking perfect in every one of these fights.
I just don't wanna embarrass myself. Not like I'd do that on a certain 24-man raid boss where I thought it'd be a good idea to record and upload the first run ;-;
Well, you would have them all slaughtered in a flash, right? If only you WERE a divine warrior. Today, you’ll fight as one amongst the many. Not so easy being normal, eh?
I don't know what it is, but this music gives me vibes of a Korean grindfest MMO I used to play as a kid. For better and worse. I love the music, but the section in Garlemald where you were body snatched was an exercise in frustration that reminded me of the really shitty parts of that other game. I know it was supposed to be stressful from the tension of racing Zenos to the camp, but it hit me as stressful with the idea of transporting the fuel can. I was so mad when I got attacked and dropped it, fearing needing to go back to the ride armor.
I gotta get around to making mute BGM macro thos and a few other seong just make me tired like straight up hard to keep my eyes open let alone think. Sham the music Is good I'm just useless while they play
Mid boss theme for SHB was never that theme. It's a remix planned for Dissidia but Dissidia got shutdown. Insatiable was way more powerful anyway as a final boss theme.
During the Garlemald mission where I left alone and all the odds against me then the music started, I knew it will be the test of my worth of the name warrior of light
"And when one asked... 'what is the point?' - there were none left to answer..."
"Dance! Dance until death claims you!"
"Such... pain..."
"As my life belongs to the Empire, In death I shall serve!"
"Don't... want to... die... alone..."
when it goes "aaaaaaaaaaaa AAAAAAAA aaaaaaaa AAAAAAAAA aaaaaaaaaa" it hits different
This applies to so many songs on. Is so games.
The letter A seems to be the “okay time to go ham” signal

“Are you afflicted? No? We stand together!”
“No! They’re brainwashed! We cut them down, Kinsman!”
“Everyone, get back! It’s going to explode!”

Hearing this for the first time, my ears perked up and I never focused so hard on a fight before in this game even in savages. What a track
this hits 100x harder when you reached floor 90th in EO solo.
This was the song that got me hyped for endwalker, hands down.
This song motivates me to do JEE. What do you think about it ? My tkm sir suggested it.
This song lives rent-free in my mind. Just moved all its luggage and furniture into my subconscious.
Why are the mid-boss themes all so freaking awesome? I love Finality, but this one... hoo boy.
I KNOW RIGHT
so i have been giving some thought about the terminus snatcher boss. ( and this is for those who didn't get the meaning behind this fight )
so it is our first real big blasphemy that we fight . and as you know , blasphemy bring out the worst emotions in people (despair, fear . anger,regret, powerlessness,suffering etc) and those who get fully consummed by those emotions transforms into blasphemies themselves.
well, you guys now know that during the "mouth off" mechanic, there are multiple mouths on the ground saying things like" i can't win, so much pain , it's hopelesss etc" and to not receive damage from the ensuing aoe is to stand on the mouths that says nothing.
well what really happens is that it is a projection of, us the WoL's mind, the mouths that says something are the dark emotions that talks to us and making us feel despair, and going to the mouths that says nothing is really us choosing not to listen to those voices and keep the hopes up .
i always found that it was a nice analogy and that answers the question of why , other than the blessijng of light, is not affected by the blasphemies at all .
Oh that's brilliant. I hadn't even thought of that!

*gets sliced by Drucilla from behind* ;)
such a bad ass moment!
When you and the other level 40 grunts with no auto regeneration or powers need to save Garlemald anyway
🛐 TKM 🛐 sir 🛐 is 🛐 my 🛐 idol 🛐
That bass right before the drop is amazing.
PTSD in music form
Better than boss dungeon theme, hands down.
Big Xeno X vibes.
just make it back to camp
I love this song, I hate Garlemald.
someone in shadow bringer boss theme vid : "honestly idk how are they going to top stormblood boss theme"
same guy after listen to the new bgm : "oh lord..."
me : "honestly idk how are they going to top it again for endwalker"
me after listen to the new bgm : "oh lord..."
Your gameplay legitimately impresses me. Seriously. Half of the music videos for FFXIV I watch I look at their rotations and grasp on mechanics and it's just atrocious. I actually legitimately wonder why they chose the footage they did, because it's AoE in boss fights, multiple wipes, no tank CDs, they can't even ABC.
You're fucking perfect in every one of these fights.
I just don't wanna embarrass myself. Not like I'd do that on a certain 24-man raid boss where I thought it'd be a good idea to record and upload the first run ;-;
@@uvi-If I die in a 24 player raid its because I can't see the AOEs.
Well, you would have them all slaughtered in a flash, right? If only you WERE a divine warrior. Today, you’ll fight as one amongst the many. Not so easy being normal, eh?
Shehbaz Thakur sir aka TKM sir suggested this song track to me to get feel.
I don't know what it is, but this music gives me vibes of a Korean grindfest MMO I used to play as a kid. For better and worse. I love the music, but the section in Garlemald where you were body snatched was an exercise in frustration that reminded me of the really shitty parts of that other game. I know it was supposed to be stressful from the tension of racing Zenos to the camp, but it hit me as stressful with the idea of transporting the fuel can. I was so mad when I got attacked and dropped it, fearing needing to go back to the ride armor.
I gotta get around to making mute BGM macro thos and a few other seong just make me tired like straight up hard to keep my eyes open let alone think. Sham the music Is good I'm just useless while they play
I hope Dawntrail tops this and Shadowbringers mid boss themes. Those are the ones I like the most. But... bar is too high.
The DT music is out for the mid boss dungeon. Honestly, this is so much better.
🤔
Getting mad P4 boss theme vibes from this one
*persona fan listening to music*
Man getting real big persona vibes from this track
@@weet294 and now Trails fans are doing the same.
I honestly got more Shin Megami Tensei vibes from this than Persona
Low key be rapping to this theme shit fire change my mind
This is not bad. But it is no Finality.
This should have been the final dungeon boss theme. Same thing with SHB. They should have swapped themes for mid and final bosses.
Mid boss theme for SHB was never that theme. It's a remix planned for Dissidia but Dissidia got shutdown.
Insatiable was way more powerful anyway as a final boss theme.
@@YasaiTsume Dissidia's still running and received that song, it's just they decided to make use of it in XIV too
Should have been switched with the dungeon boss theme.
More powerful than Kar Har Maidaan Fateh
