Final Fantasy XIV - Shiva's Theme (and bonus "Oblivion")
Added 2024-04-14 15:00:06 +0000 UTCI am a HUGE gamer. I play A LOT of games. I collect them. I complete them and enjoy playing them with friends.
...but I have a confession to make.
I haven't played any Final Fantasy game in my life. I have watched play throughs of the game though! I have played maybe 2 hours worth of FF8 and I own FFX and FFX2.
I have always loved the music from the games. I haven't heard this theme and I loved the choir voices singing in a pointed staccato (short and spaced) style while the orchestra underneath is playing a longer lyrical style with percussio as a driving force. The use of dissonance creating tention leading to a release is so perfect for such a boss battle!
Also, the song starting at 3:18 was a surprise! I was really caught off guard, but the song is such a good time! The style of the song reminds of The Strokes. I absilutely had fun listening to this surprise at the end. Lol.

FF XIV is a MMO with a great story. It has a slow start and it it is story told for deacade so for a new player it takes a lot of time to get to current story lie. But for me its the best sory told in an RPG game. Changing a style of music during boss fight is common in this game, and this one sold me on continuing with this game. And yes its hard to focus on fight mechanics while enjoing music :)
