What I like about this villain is that he's not stereotypically evil. He's cold and rational. He's been waiting centuries with a clear goal in mind. When you see that he's all alone, his race basically dead, and he's trying to remake the world and raise his comrades, you almost feel a sense of pity for him.
This was the PERFECT theme for this segment of the game. really gives you a feeling of etherealness and finding out the history of the unknown. I can’t believe how incredible the OST is for this game
Soken loves his leitmotifs doesn't he, you can hear a very mild version of Ultima's theme in this, I've gained a newfound appreciation for music through this game, getting the most out of the least is a genius idea by Soken.
Probably one of the best tracks among many incredible songs within the OST. It's got elements of many past entries in the series like the City of the Ancients from FF7 and Orphan's Cradle from FF13. An incredible celebration of the series in one song 😭
Hands down I agree. Favorite game I've ever played. And I've been dancing between dmc 5, Nioh and wolong, MHW, Er and souls series. Didn't think anything could touch them. This game blew me away
This is ff16 very own version of “The Day of Night” from silent hill and it’s unbelievably insane. The track transcended into god mode real quick when the vocals kicked in.
Silent Hill is exactly what I thought of this track. It's horrifying, like truly you realise you are fighting an actual primordial entity that is God itself.
There is typically a point in FF games where, when the main villain starts having more of a presence and the story begins weaving itself together... you've entered the final act. I haven't beaten the game, but I just got here last night. This has a heavy "beginning of the end" feel.
@@pyxl666you'd be correct. Make sure you do all of the side quests when they unlock. They are amazing 👌 I suggest starting with "when there's a will" to beef up your party for the rest of them. Have fun!
I love it when Final Fantasy takes us on a "dreamy" journey like this in the endgame. The name of this place reminds me of the final dungeon in FFV, and the music gives off a similar vibe like the Compression of Time in FFVIII, Memoria/Crystal World in FFIX, some of the last dungeons in FFXI expansions, and the Labyrinth of Chaos in FFXIII-2. Moreover, the nihilistic nature of Ultima and its desire for a world based on "reason" to protect only himself showcases its indifference towards human emotions and suffering, kinda like the Creator in FFIV After Years and Lufenians in FFI/Stranger of Paradise.
Imo Ultima is basically “what if God was real and actually hated humanity”? It’s a disturbing yet compelling idea. Ultima is more than a Lufenian from ff1, he’s a literal God.
Hearing this from someone I used to watch all the time definitely means a lot. I have to ask though, why did you stop uploading? I would've expected you to be the one to upload the strangers of paradise and ff16 soundtracks. Also if I'm not mistakened, you was the one who uploaded the Ardyn theme compilation. Which had to be my absolute favorite video of yours.
@@GMG_Hippie13Cuz Square Enix is so ambiguous with their guidelines (they suckity suck lol) So I didnt wanted to put my channel at risk at the time. I still want to upload but sadly I don't have the time (nor money) to play the games :/ I might start in the future again but need to think how to even add gameplay or parts of the game, maybe with cutscenes or smth.
I see. They definitely have became more strict as the years went on, some games they're more lax with their restrictions overall, but for the big titles they truly do become extremely strict. For some odd reason anyways. If anything though, I could definitely see you uploading the new mobile kh game soundtrack(with gameplay overlayed of course)
this soundtrack is so final fantasy. just listening to it is making me reflect on. the things that molded me into what i am today. on the flip side, i can’t stop imagining what else there is for me to uncover in life. excellent job.
It’s strange as a more recent FF player (introduced through FF7R) that this theme reminded me of Celeste. Only to remember in interviews even Celeste composer Lena Raine spoke of how much the Final Fantasy series inspired her growing up. Like damn Soken really studied those classic FF ethereal vibes as well. There was a time when pop music had these ethereal qualities.
Perfect song for this segment. Master Soken and his team did it wonder 😍. It seems to be a remix of Ultima theme, which was also used against Typhon (true form).
I still think FF14s story is better but i also really love this one. 14 and 16 are made by the same team and i think its a great start for their first single player game
@@melaniebiberger2191 ff14 story is very overrated, bland characters with all the same exact goal and views, the characters never or rarely disagree with each other in anyway and for the most part the story just keeps going forever with no end in sight. just another typical jrpg story imo. it has no depth whatsoever
@@mattguxxxtt9629 lol you must have played a different game than me or never played past arr. Bland characters is the biggest facepalm ive done in a while. And while the main cast shares an ultimate common goal, they all have different personal goals. And there is plenty of conflicting views inbetween. Like fallout between Yshtola and Thancred because Thancred cant cope with Minfilia being gone. Urianger being secretive to a point where the main cast doubts him several times. Alisae shouting at Ryne etc... They are only having a falling out whenever it makes sense. I think you have some internal bias that makes you not want to like it
Ultima is the most overhated and misunderstood character in FF16. People say that the game lost its course in terms of the writing when he became the main villain, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. The oppression you see throughout the ENTIRE game, the enslavement of bearers, people seeing one another as lower life forms just because of who they were born as, the prejudice and oppression that was shown to us throughout the ENTIRE game, Ultima is the EMBODIMENT of that. While humans saw bearers and Dominants as lesser beings, being deserving of enslavement, Ultima sees the human race in GENERAL the same way, “damned is the slave that would turn a scourge upon his master” Ultima says during his boss fight, Ultima is the enslaver, and humans are the slave. Ultima is the embodiment of all the prejudice and oppression we see in this world as the player. Ultima’s writing is not only VERY consistent THEMATICALLY but it is also very consistent in GENERAL, he was literally set up at the BEGINNING of the game. If you think that Ultima’s writing is inconsistent with the game or if you thought the game somehow “fell off” in terms of writing consistency, I just don’t see how anyone can come that conclusion. Ultima was perfectly set up and written into this story in the best way possible THEMATICALLY AND in general.
over all cute music in Final Fantasy 16 is this one the best one :) It is the Part where Ultima tells you whats he wants, but in the Chill way. And the Music is chill too :D
@@soundthatyoucansee123 what are these "problems" you speak of? There were no legitimate problems unless you're a nostalgia-tard who can't move on from turn-based combat despite the fact that the series has been more action-based for longer than it ever was turn-based. And that's a personal problem, not a problem with the game.
Official lyrics: Fallen angels, wayward strayed (fall on your knees) In needless pain, unpenitent (penitentially) In silence baying dissarayed (bow your head) By heav'n forsaken, bowed and broken Shame filled faces (bow down) Fame disgraced (beg of me) This infamy is unforgiven (your pardon) Official name of the song is Bow
I know it’s not the actual plot at all, but if they really wanted to, ultima could’ve been the precursor to every single final fantasy universe and I wouldn’t be mad, only thing being there’s other creator characters and the whole thing with the lufenians.
Right?? Really reminded me about Memoria and the similar situation in which Zidane found out about his true past, just like how they're finding out their past in this game
![FINAL FANTASY XVI - Away (Full Suite) [All Versions + Subs][4K]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QR-yr8RBj2s/mqdefault.jpg)
I love the way ultima talks about the history of magic over this music
My favorite history lesson of all time
likewise it's almost serene lol.
^_^
Favorite track in the game. It grabbed me immediately
Me too
Sameee
Yeah I insta fell in love when I heard it.
Getting Halo and Elden Ring vibes from this. 🫡
Same
track is called 'Bow' on Disc 7 of the official OST. up on sale on the 19th of July
This tracks just has this "old FF" feel to it I can't describe. Incredible game.
Memoria theme from ff IX this old square putting a strange and mystical theme when the plot twist is gonna come ^^
@@quiquemunozlopez3780that’s exactly what it reminded me of, perfect comparison
Noticed that part of the buildings are similar to the ff9 memoria buildings with stairs
Incredible is pushing it. Game is a 7/10.
This is one of those unforgetable moments .... perfect ost
You created us...
*Is that not what gods do?*
Ooooh chills right now🔥
They made 16's Ultima so PERFECT.
What I like about this villain is that he's not stereotypically evil.

@@Bahamut998reminds me of the ascians and their desire to bring back their world
@@Bahamut998like Garland in FF9
This was the PERFECT theme for this segment of the game. really gives you a feeling of etherealness and finding out the history of the unknown. I can’t believe how incredible the OST is for this game
So we meet again...
Ya boi Soken always brings it. I'd say he probably rivals Uematsu for me now
@@ArtoriasNX I think he surpassed Uematsu a long time ago :)
Soken loves his leitmotifs doesn't he, you can hear a very mild version of Ultima's theme in this, I've gained a newfound appreciation for music through this game, getting the most out of the least is a genius idea by Soken.
Anyone else get Nier Replicant vibes from this whole section, especially with the music?
Totally, Replicant and Automata both.
I was just thinking about how much this section reminded me of both Nier games. There's a lot about this game that gave me Nier vibes.
@@craigzorzy2105😂Clive sort of does look like a older Caim
Yes

-A fellow OG fan (from sub 30k)
Forget game of the year. This the best game I've ever played. Just *chef kiss*
There’s no way any game matches this one this year. If they give game of the year to anything else I know it’s rigged.
Hands down I agree. Favorite game I've ever played. And I've been dancing between dmc 5, Nioh and wolong, MHW, Er and souls series. Didn't think anything could touch them. This game blew me away

Inside Sin from FFX, Orphan’s Cradle FfXIII.
Imo Ultima is basically “what if God was real and actually hated humanity”?
It’s a disturbing yet compelling idea.
Ultima is more than a Lufenian from ff1, he’s a literal God.
Ffx Wandering as well!
More a godlike alien, not necessarily a legit deity.
@@elishaj2977 What is a "legit deity"? Think about it. Maybe the "legit deity" is some a-hole that's an alien too.
The throwback to old FF's is strong with this one, thanks for all your uploads ♥ Is goog to see you here again.

I stopped like twice during interdimensional rift just to listen to the music. Just has that old school somber yet epic vibe to it.
This song brings such a good feeling

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! FF music never disappoints. 😍🥰
Perfect song for this segment. Master Soken and his team did it wonder 😍.

NieR Vibes like crazy
By far the best FF game since FFX

This have the same feel as FFX-servants of the mountain(mount gagazet)…. Mystery and sadness….
For me this theme was more reminiscent of “the cradle will fall” from ff13 orphan’s cradle location
over all cute music in Final Fantasy 16 is this one the best one :)
It is the Part where Ultima tells you whats he wants, but in the Chill way. And the Music is chill too :D
Ultima: "So i setup mako reactors and pumped the life stream out of the earth to gain power".... hey wait a second!
SHINRA _wishes_ their massive complexes could be made into something the size of a small boulder. They'd need to pay less wages for one...
This whole segment reminded me instantly of Memoria from the end of FF9. Such a cool callback.
The plot twist is the same as FF9.
Garland purpose = Ultima purpose.
This song is fucking gorgeous hooked me instantly
My favorite music in the game. It reminded me of Nobuo Uematsu's soundtracks of some FF game. I love this so much 😍...
Ultima Thule OST vibes. I dont think he will ever capture that feeling again though even as great as this is.
This is the PURE Final Fantasy background Music for Universal Knowledge History in this Galaxy of 16 .. Its full of Power and Emotion. Grandios!❤
This year has really had some wonderful games, hasn't it?
Absolutely love this track.
Soundtrack of the decade hands down soken is the goat 🐐 the absolute legend 😊
Reminds me of Memoria from FFIX.
I just finished this game two nights ago. Game of the Year, hands down. Every minute of it was amazing. Time to start NG+
Game has way too many problems to be game of the year.

This piece is NUTS with a good pair of headphones. Such attention to detail.
Efectivamente... esto es lo que estaba buscando...
Thanks
I doubt anyone will see this comment or even care but I just finished FF 16 and what a journey it was.
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the game. Hope you'll get to play the upcoming dlc as well.
@@GMG_Hippie13 Thanks and I hope you enjoy it as well.
This track reminds me of FF13
A MELHOR MÚSICA DO JOGO!
I’m ngl this is the best game I’ve ever played
Got an FFX feel to this one
I finally found it
Official lyrics:
Fallen angels, wayward strayed (fall on your knees)
In needless pain, unpenitent (penitentially)
In silence baying dissarayed (bow your head)
By heav'n forsaken, bowed and broken
Shame filled faces (bow down)
Fame disgraced (beg of me)
This infamy is unforgiven (your pardon)
Official name of the song is Bow
maybe this rift resembles what remains of ultima’s original home, dark and lifeless with nothing left to take from it
This reminds me of the labyrinth of chaos from xiii-2 so damn much!
Waow simplemente es tan oscura, triste y melancólica tuve que parar para poder apreciar esta pieza ❤
Lmao, yo también tuve que detenerme a oírla xD
This track feels like I accidentally loaded up silent hill
Clásico instantáneo.
Anybody else getting Nier Automata vibes?
Feels like I’m back in Ultima Thule on FF14
Reminds me of Silent Hill.
Like you’re about to learn horrifying truths.
This soundtrack reminded me too much of the beginning of Ultima Thule in ff14
So real, I almost cried omg
Thought i was at the final dungeon.
This song Reminds me to the one in mission 18 of DMC3
I know it’s not the actual plot at all, but if they really wanted to, ultima could’ve been the precursor to every single final fantasy universe and I wouldn’t be mad, only thing being there’s other creator characters and the whole thing with the lufenians.
Amazing😍😍😍😍😍

The Void Beyond vibes
Mixed with Bayonetta.
I’m trying to find the orchestra role for this one here
The Interdimensional Rift from FF5?
Anyone else get pokemon mystery dungeon vibes from this 😭😭
So ultima an alien right?? Or he came from another part of the continent??
Minecraft End dimension vibes
is this not in the offical OST list on spotify?
I do not find it myself too !
Bow
Can anybody tell me what this song is actually called and where I can find it? :,)
FF13-2 vibes
academia 500af
Silent hill vibe
Man playing this game smoking weed has been amazing!!!
Literally got to this part, heard the music and rushed to my car to smoke a jay 😂
