- GAMEPLAY SPOILERS in the video.
Video shows footage of the new Lakshmi Trial from FFXIV Stormblood, as such if you want to avoid seeing mechanics prior to experiencing it yourself avert thine eyes!
I think I enjoyed every aspect of Lakshmi more than Susano, just all of it.
EDIT: Attempt at lyrics, not sure about it all so let me know if you think it needs adjusting:
Night,
Embrace her worldly delights,
Tonight,
In time you shall follow,
In time you shall follow,
Behold as our burdens,
'Come soft with the sun,
Tonight,
Step from the dark to the light,
Tonight
Rise high,
High above our rivals,
Spread our wings,
Spread them wide,
Let them fly,
Keep high,
Free to ever slumber,
Open the door,
Close our eyes,
We are the dreamers,
Fire,
Born of the flames of desire,
This fire,
Give in to the hunger,
Give in to the hunger,
Cast off inhibition,
Let passion run wild,
Desire,
For the unquenchable fire,
Desire,
Rise high,
High above your rivals,
Spread yours wings,
Spread them wide,
You needn't hide,
Keep high,
Free to ever slumber,
Open the door,
Close your eyes,
You are the dreamer.

I believe the line after "Give in to the hunger" should be "Cast off your ablution".
It doesn't sound like Inhibition, and Lakshmi is asking the Warriors to "Cast off their ritual purification" and give in to desire, remove the Blessing of Hydaelyn and fall under her thrall.
Cast off your ablution was actually my first thought as well, that's what I heard but I hadn't thought of it in the context of Hydaelyn and so wasn't sure that it worked, whereas casting off inhibitions works well with giving in to desires at a literal level.
Unsure of it now though, it could feasibly be either. If I listen to it thinking your ablution, I hear your ablution. If I listen to it thinking inhibition, I hear inhibition. That said I'm leaning more toward inhibition at the moment.
Going to pin your comment though and see if other people want to give their opinions.
Thanks for your input!
SirTeflon I can't not hear inhibitions for that part. Your explanation for how it could be ablation makes a lot of sense, but with the word inhibitions the proceeding sentence "Let passion run wild" makes much more sense. That's just me though.
What if Hydaelyn is just a primal, and we're under her influence just like anyone under another primal, and that's why other primals can't dominate us?
The story has all but outright said Hydaelyn isn't a primal. It's implied that she's a true god because her existence precedes her worshipers (see: she made a covenant with Midgardsormr to let him settle on the planet and who seems to have come to the planet from space a long time before the spoken races were established), and the Dark Knight quests have some reveals about the WoL that basically null the possibility of them being tempered.
Hydaelyn and Zodiark are the principal gods of the XIV-verse. They've existed before anyone was around to worship them. Their conflict is a primeval one.
The WoL have been chosen by Hydaelyn to carry out her will which makes them immune from being corrupted by primals which are merely just manifestations of Hydaelyns aether.
I'm not exaggerating but FFXIV legit has one of the best scores of any MMO i've played.
Try one of the best scores in games ever! Let yourself be tempered by the Elder Primal of Music, Soken.
Music wise yes, battlesystem wise suck. Sliding animation, hitting while facing weird direction but still counted, ur character can move through the boss like they r shadows. Completely suck
@@GlowingF0ssil Oi mate, score as in musical score, nobody said FFXIV was a mechanics masterpiece. Why you gotta bring things down?
@@DuoSanguis i bring facts. why r u complaining huh?
FF as a franchise has always been known for having some of the best music in the industry. Stack that into an MMO that receives updates all the time and with some mighty impressive production, and it's inevitable that it'd be at the top of the MMO heap for soundtrack.
I don't get how they do it. Every Primal theme has its own personality and they somehow manage to make them sound so so good.
Agreed.
I mean, their theme songs are a crucial part in their battle.
i'm still confused how did they mix in the indian tones with chinese tones and create a whole new world of fusion sino-indian groovyness that just works *_SOOO GOOOOD_*
Wolvenworks I'm not really sure I hear the Chinese influence in this
the chorus bit has definite chinese tones, though it's more of old chinese music. i've heard enough old chinese karaoke songs to pick up the tune immediately trust me i'm asian lol
Wolvenworks middle eastern and chinese music has somewhat similar musical scale, thats why it might sound like chinese during chorus
Pentatonic scales my guy.
I picked it up too ,there's a part the melody sounds Chinese .I think maybe the composer's from East Asian .This song definitely feels like it's composed by someone outside the Indian culture ,the instruments ,melody and whole singing feel like a mix of India ,Arab ,Persia and China (or Japan).
What's even better about this soundtrack is that there's a pretty cool game attached to it to play while you listen.
Someone else pointed out that Lakshmi in this game is basically the embodiment of the phrase "Ignorance is bliss", and that's pretty much the best way to describe her. She encourages her followers to care about nothing but her beauty--why suffer the horrible truth, after all, when she can give them such a beautiful lie to live? And I realized it goes even further than that--from what I can tell, she's also one of the few Primals to be portrayed as malevolent or bearing ill intent, up to and including displaying a powerful dark aura multiple times throughout this fight and putting the heroes under her spell of desire for the purpose of directly taking their lifeforce, which adds all the more to the frightening nature of her and what she does. On top of this, I can't help but notice we never see her legs, only a large dress that could easily be hiding a coiled-up snake tail, and she has a tendency to draw out her S's, like stereotypical snake speech (as seen in lines like "Sssurrender to bliss" and "Open your heartsss to me!"). She may very well have presented herself in a form the Ananta would respond well to just so they'd be more likely to trust in her.
As we know, Lakshmi is a divine figure where many of Hindu people worship until now. She is heavily associated with lotus, the symbol beauty and purity, based from her appearance in the story of Samudra Manthan.
But, for her snake trait... Maybe, it is derived not only from the Ananta tribe in-game. In Indonesia, Sri Lakshmi is also known as Dewi Sri (Sri Devi), the goddess of harvest, where Kejawen people still revere her figure. Dewi Sri is heavily associated with paddy snake (?) because that snake eats rats in ricefield and saving the harvest.
Is Lakhsmi origin are from North Africa location???
@@manoharalisa5829 nope, Sri Lakshmi and Hinduism as a whole originate from India, most of Stormblood has a classic Asian aesthetic
@@captaine-niscookie3406 I hear Lakshmi origin location in Libya.
@@manoharalisa5829 I'm not finding anything on it, all the sources I can find say it's from India
Its most likely because among the tridevi her ideals only work as a destination, but taken as a means toward achieving her own ideals she is the most material and leads you astray, whereas Sarasvati and Parvati are the actual paths toward achieving what she represents (prosperity as achieved through self-knowledge or Saraswati and experience measuring the value of said knowledge and deciding when you should choose passion instead as with Parvati).
I.E only with lived experience or sufficient rumination can the prosperity and nirvana she represents be achieved, as focusing solely on it one can become obsessed with material security under the presumption that there is no other bedrock for comfort and acceptance in/with oneself and their reality, and a preoccupation with the more spiritual aspects of Lakshmi can result in (an ironic and superficially paradoxical for the alternate consequences of pursuing her ideals) neglect of health and responsibility with regards to physical incarnation or interpersonal relations and realities. effectively the Hindu version of why Arhats are both respected and warned of in Buddhism vs other aspirants toward enlightenment. All previous mentions of "realities" should have quotation marks, but I omitted them because this recontextualization and having read it both ways is important, i.e In some ways Lakshmi can be seen as a mirror of Maia/Maya.
Such a beautiful song. Female primals always end up getting some of the best ost the game has to offer
Tyler Bell Ramuhs is amazing as well 😍
Sexy female primal with a beard
Tyler Bell
How many Primals are there in Final Fantasy?
Noah Wilson FF14 is the only one with the Primals but I think there's about 19 of them at the moment that you can fight
Tyler Bell
18?! Goodness, how is it that the world of Final Fantasy isn't torn apart yet?!
Maybe unpopular opinion but this song had more impact when she is summoned during the Ala Mhigan peace meeting. Not only because you don't expect it, but you are fighting to prevent her from turning people into thralls. Just has that feeling of being on the backfoot against a goddess who can dominate with a single breath.
Listening to this as a sprout who had no idea how to use the item while getting yeeted to the edge for god knows how many times
Yep same happened to me lol
Lmao same 😂😂
Didn't even notice the icon thingy popup in the middle of our screen before got yeeted lol
This has got to be the *creepiest* boss fight music (or any fight music, really). It's not menacing. It's light and triumphant. She's not angry, she's seductive. It's absolutely brilliant.
You ever hear a cat chirp to a bird before pouncing on it? It's disturbingly beautiful
whats creepy about that?
Never I felt creeped on this theme. It actually has a good melody. Might you be referring to Titania's?
@@warriorfromhammerfell1557 Nope. I never said it wasn't a good melody, and I don't say "creepy" like it's a bad thing. I don't play FFXIV, so the first time I heard it (mix CD in my friend's car, which also increases my difficulty hearing lyrics) I had no context and just thought it was a fun song. Then my friend explained everything and now I appreciate the song more. The creep factor adds a whole other dimension to it.
@@quinnquinnquinn215 What's NOT creepy about it? Lakshmi is seducing you into giving up everything for her, you're resiting that seduction, but Lakshmi confidently says "In time, you shall follow" all the while urging you to close your eyes and ride the high she is promising you.
Fell in love with this INSTANTLY when I first got to this fight. The entire platform/arena is beautiful and matches the music perfectly.
I must’ve ran this fight at least 10x as a healer after unlocking it. Just coz, it’s such a fun fight, beautiful music, wonderful flow and aesthetics.
This and Susano caused my SB playtime to extend further than it should have. XD
It's so weird, but it's so catchy, too. It fits Stormblood perfectly, it's got that whole middle-to-southeast Asia sampler platter thing going on.
Indeed! The main chorus (the "rise high above your rivals" part) sounds kinda Chinese, whilst the rest of the song sounds Indian, so it definitely encapsulates exactly what you said; middle and southeast Asia.
I absolutely love this song. It goes hand in hand with what Lakshmi stands for. How the song shifts from "our" to "your" has great significance.
Just played this for the first time, I was blown away. It looks gorgeous, sounds amazing and is such a cool fight. This fight really has spoiled WoW for me.
Wait till Titania unless you already got there, it’s only upwards from here :D
I literally got blown away by lakshmi several times :(
@@PinkSonique nah lakshmis theme sounds 100 times better then titania
10 bucks says youre back playing wow by now 🤣
Sorry buddy still on FF14. Though to be fair I have really opened up my gaming selection since quitting wow. @@swickster
I think this fight completely derailed my train of thought better than any other.
"Welp, she's huge now. This is definitely gonna hurt, I should be ready to use...wait, why the hell is everyone *dancing?* "
You got subjucated bro
My duty button was hiding behind my mini map cause I'd been messing with the HUD. Couldn't figure out why I couldn't activate the bubbles and I kept getting yeeted off the platform. Kept asking for guidance and group would just say "click the button for the bubble."
I never paid much attention to it, but now I notice the first part has "our rivals, our wings, we are the dreamers", but later it becomes "your rivals, your wings, *you* are the dreamer". Tell me you *didn't* get really into the song as it went on during the battle.
Guys and gals, she's seducing us with this song.
Catherine J.G
Well I can't stop listening to it, so I guess it worked.
She does clearly state "In time you shall follow" lol. I was following as soon as the song started, honestly, LOL.
I got called away halfway through the fight, so I stayed dead for most of it x.x
She seduced the crap out of me. Even though she is a false goddess, she is still beautiful AF and boy she can seduce.
I just now noticed this.
Soken, you gods damned genius.
great theme
it covers up that salty taste when party members forget to bubble
Coziest They forgot it because they were listening the song. XD
@safnhuo That's why I always check the tactics before a fight online and then confirm them from the party when entering a new dungeon or trial. Even when I was playing through "outdated" content.
My first run through this fight...I read up on it and when I got in my brain literally just wiped all game mechanics from my brain. T-T I felt so bad for everyone with me!
YaoiKunoichi I hate when that happens. I spend so much time studying up for the mechanics and then I get to the first boss of a dungeon and I'm like, "I literally forgot every attack this guy has"
Covers the salty taste when no one tells me the mechanics of the fight and expects me to know everything from the start. Thank god for the SCH I ran this with
I am always in sheer amazement of the orchestral/musical diversity of FFXIV and the way they use it to express culture in the game. Amazing!
It has been more than two years since her appearance
and I am still listening to her theme everyday without falter.
Lakshimi is definitely is my favorite primal so far next to Sophia. Her fight is so beautiful along with her song. I can't get enough of this. Sophia and Lakshmi is such beautiful primals ;A;!
姫パン Lakshmi beats Sophia for me :D
lakshmi best waifu
RePuLse YEAH! she beats Sophia by far for me.
Captain Blaze the only waifu for me at this point!
I bring you several punches to the face, courtesy of Sephirot.
I can't stop humming to this. It's definitely my favorite theme in the game so far (almost done with stormblood).
stormblood still had the best ost best boss theme best primal themes even now in endwalker
Damn they've really been stepping up their game with primal attacks. A realm reborns stuff was pretty cool, then heavensward really stepped up the game. Thordan was glorious, zurvan flipped me and now stormbloods here....oooo its good.
I really liked the nidhogg fight and music! I think it's still my favorite. :D
Out of the warring triad, I loved Sophia the most, followed by sephirot and then zurvhan
Fought this boss for the first time today and didn't know the theme. It was glorious !
If we ever get a Dancer Job in this game I can picture this being a song they dance to.
I was so psyched for dancer but then there wasn't a dancer D:
This seems like a good spot to advertise my dancing troupe, "Charlotte Feng an Co."!
We perform randomly in largely populated areas such as Idyllshire and the queue line for Best Served With Cold Steel. Our next likely gathering will be at Rhalgr's Reach. We currently have three members. Our shows are free, but we accept generous donations.
Come one, come all, only for the wonderful people of Lich(Chaos)!
Damn too bad I'm on Ultros.
Team #2MONKS
Ahh, good times
orrthehunter I actually tried the thavnairian dance to this theme. It's quite fitting.
Many people dont know that she is the hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity and worshipped regularly in almost every hindu household here in india.
Doesn't she also live in the Dung of cows? and holds a Lotus?
RagingThunder rude ass bitch.
That should be outlawed.
what should be outlawed? living in dung? who are you to decide where other people can and cant live
rajesh vengat lotus are symbolic because they are beautiful yet grow out of filth ( the swamp) if there were a story of a lotus flower growing out of cow dung I would not be surprised. ( might also have something to do with cows being sacred.)
I like how the boss phases are synced to the music, eg the end of the song when she casts her ultimate and then back to phase 1 and the song repeats
I just noticed the Dragoons' names are Dragoon Rage and Sad Funeral, kinda fitting.....
Boss fights with AoE spam make dragoons rage... and die.
FFXIV's Music crew did it again with such an amazing OST. never cease to make such wonderful sounding music
i dont play anymore but goddamn was i glad i played this gem.
Just got to this song, and it continues that every Female Raid fight has had banger music.
Listening to this again after a year not playing... oh boy I can't cry anymore of how awesome this song is
You know, when I originally started FFXIV and was going through ARR hell, I was really close to quitting the game. And then all of a sudden, this came into my recommendations. Usually I don't like spoilers but I did agree that the music in this game is the best that I have encountered in an MMO, heck probably in all the games I played. After listening to this, I just got so much determination to reach this part in the game so I can experience this myself. Safe to say, here I am 3 years later with FFXIV being my favorite game of all time. Just letting others know that it gets WAAAY better after ARR. Can't wait for all the good stuff to come from this game in the future!
As someone who started about a year and a half ago, I agree
The music honestly made we want to keep playing aswell was wanting to quite then fought guruda and I was damn this shit rocks
I don't understand what's so bad about ARR
I love that these first two trials are bosses that don't feel evil in the traditional sense.
Lakshmi is certainly exploitative but the presentation and music is such a nice change. And I adore that Susanso is just hype for a good fight.
Beautiful theme, beautiful primal, half snake, half woman, 100% waifu.
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT
crayonkiler someone sounds tempered
I think the correct term for tempered with Lakshmi is "dreamer". She says it in the song and when you kill the adds at the beginning of the fight she says something along the lines of "What right do you have to wake them from the dream?".
Either way, be it tempered or dreamer, I think I am one too. Lakshmi best primal.
Matthew Daigneault I think Tempered was originally the specific term for Ifrit claiming souls for himself, as the word relates to his element of fire. The word has stuck for me too, but I wonder if it's actually supposed to be different between primals? e.g. Leviathan "drowns" his victims to make them his thralls. I vaguely recall that being the word used for him... But I don't think I remember any of the others having specific words.
Yep. The terminology is different between the beast races, although the process is the same. Ifrit's thralls are Tempered. Ramuh's thralls are Touched. Leviathan's thralls are Drowned. Zantetsuken's thrall, Odin, is considered Sundered. Those are the terms we currently know of.
* Me as Main Tank *
Lakshmi: Let me free you from your hate !!!
Me: Not sure if trap or a good thing....
* Me as DRK tank *
Lakshmi : "Let me free you from your hate!!!"
Me : "HATE IS ALL THAT KEEPS ME GOING, WOMAN!"
* ackward pause and looks from the rest of the party *
@@DoktorWieg I feel this. 😂
@@DoktorWieg i now need a Dark Knight who gets his power through acts of vindictive pettiness
@@DoktorWieg lakishima: let me free from your hate
My lalafel wol warrior: YOU FOOL, MY HATE BONER WILL NEVER GO LIMP!
"I AM MY HATE."
I was wondering how they were going to implement Lakshmi's Alluring Embrace in this game. Glad to see they were able to pull it off.
FFXIV has so many banging themes/soundtracks
Playing this on repeat. When I got to this stage it felt like I'd stepped in Disneyland. I was all smiles.
Bollywood Disneyland forever. ❤️
I fear no Primal...
_looks at new mystery button and mechanic_
That thing... It scares me.
_falls off the edge of the arena, anyways_
Soken, you've done it again.
I thought Nobuo was doing the OST for 4.0 O_O
Maybe I misunderstood and was only the main theme.
Yup. Nobuo only did the main theme. Soken did every 4.0 songs (except some themes which are arrangements from other FF by Uematsu)
@Kisu Aran - Nobuo only ever seems to get contracted for the more universally somber shit.
But then again, I think we should still have some old tracks from 1.0 that haven't been given a proper home yet (PotD doesn't count); Nobuo DID compose those, after all.
Well Nobuo earned his rest after doing all the soundtracks for over 20 years. Who did Without Shadow by the way? It was him, right? He did the 1.0 soundtrack and WS first showed up in the original Limsa starting experience.
I think this song deserves a Record of the year award
Anyone realize she is the opposite of Sophia? Balance, atonement, and truth versus sin, bliss, and delusion.
I love seeing Primals with different natures. It gives a real identity to the tribes/people that summon them.
Sophia's and Lakshmi's themes are equally as great though !
The Goddess (Sofia) was based on the god Lakshimi, so there's really nothing special or original here, just laziness.
The Merovingian She was not though ??
Ilona Yes, FFVI. 1994, she was, it's obvious. 90% of FF monsters and bosses are directly ripped from religion, mythology and literature; specifically Greek, Norse and Hindu.
Sophia is based on Christian Gnosticism / Greek myths, who is supposed to be the personification of wisdom & philosophy. Lakshmi on the other hand is beauty and wealth as seen in the Hindu / Indian myths.
"YOU SHALL ALL WORSHIP SRI LAKSHMI!!!"
Ahh, I will always remember this theme because the first time I ever did this Trial battle the majority of my group (myself included) was inexperienced and accident-prone, so we kept on failing. I was getting SOOOO frustrated at myself and the whole situation but found that the frustration never lasted more than a few seconds because I loved the theme so much. After we wiped and were planning a strategy before starting the fight again, I would also just be quietly vibing with the theme :) Like I wasnt able to get mad while listening to it. Eventually, we did beat the trial too. All in all, this is definitely one of my favorite gaming memories haha.
Rise high,
High above our rivals,
Spread our wings,
Spread them wide,
Let them fly
It's like Lakshmi is encouraging you to defeat her. C'mon, get up, let's dance some more. You almost had me there, you can do this! How can one possibly get tilted in this fight?
this theme is so scary
The players managed to recapture Ala Mhigo and move closer to peace, but she tried to destroy it and ruin everything.
Also, it was even more terrifying that she didn't do those acts with malice.
Night.
Embrace Her worldly delights, tonight
In time you shall follow
In time you shall follow
Behold as our burdens come south with the sun
Tonight.
Step from the dark to the light, tonight
Rise high, high above our rivals
Spread our wings
Spread them wide
Let them guide
Hereby free to ever slumber
Open the door
Close our eyes
We are the dreamers
Fire.
Born of the flames of desire. This fire
Give in to the hunger
Give in to the hunger
Cast off inhibition, let passion run wild
Desire.
Fuel the unquenchable fire. Desire.
Rise high, high above your rivals
Spread your wings
Spread them wide
You needn't hide
Hereby free to ever slumber
Open the door
Close your eyes
You are the dreamer
I find it very fitting she carries lotus flowers with her and most of her attacks are marked up with lotuses.
All of her speak of dreamers and slumbering in bliss has a very 'Lotus Eater' thing to it.
By far my favourite Primal theme in the game right now! I love this so damn much!
Same here
I haven't fallen in love with any of the primal songs as much as this one. Each time DF takes me to Lakshmi I grow to love the song more. "In time you shall follow" indeed! It's now my ringtone.
Give in to her grace, her purity. All must worship the ONE TRUE GODDESS!
One of the top highlights of Stormblood expansion.
I've got some preliminary lyrics for Lakshmi, hopefully they're somewhat accurate XD
Tonight, embrace her holy delights tonight
In time you shall follow, in time you shall follow
Behold as our burdens come south with the sun
Tonight, step from the dark to the light tonight
Rise high, high above our rivals
Spread our wings, spread them wide
Let them die
Dear heart, free to ever slumber
Open the door, close our eyes
We are the dreamers
Fire, born of the flames of desire, this fire
Give into the hunger, give into the hunger
Cast off inhibition, let passion run wild
Desire for the unquenchable fire, desire
Rise high, high above your rivals
Spread your wings, spread them wide
You needn't fly
Dear heart, free to ever slumber
Open the door, close your eyes
You are the dreamer
Leidiriv Bellveil i love it
"Let the die" ... I heard "Lift them high" ha
Juses Crus and
I heard it as you neednt hide
This is straight out of a Bollywood video.
im in LOVE with this soundtrack!!!
The Primal version of "I'm So Good at Yoga"
Hive five my fellow CEG fan
My neighbors dont visit me anymore ever since they came in and saw me /charmed with this theme on repeat for 10 hours
Still at 3.3 and thinking of coming back. After hearing Susano's theme and hearing people's thoughts of saying "the budget went into everything but the primal song" I was sorta reluctant to get it immediately and probably wait until 4.1
Then...
Then....
THIS FUCKING THEME! MY GOODNESS IS IT BEAUTIFUL! THE INSTRUMENTS. THE VOCALS. THE VISUALS! EVERYTHING!
Have to get this tomorrow
lol, people can't appreciate taiko drums.
Taiko, Fue, Shamisen, Susano's theme is SO good.
susannos theme is so boring worst sb theme by far
Alex MaGanda clearly you don't understand why his theme is simple and playful
@@MaymayMakesThings I definitely agree, but funny enough, I still prefer Lakshmi's theme. At Both Ends is a total blast and extremely fun (and so few people appreciate taiko drums), but I think Beauty's Wicked Wiles has quite literally bewitched me. Susano's fight and personality have been more fun to me, but Lakshmi's theme is superior, even if it's by a hair's width. Her personality scares me, though.
One line sounds like what I say when I take off on a plane at an airport: "Rise high, high above Arrivals."
our rivals* xD
100% Bollywood. Especially the dance trance. Love this so much.
This is so catchy. I didnt like it at first but then it grew on me real fast
This is my favorite song and probably my favorite Primal fight in Stormblood
stormblood in general had the best music imo especially if you compare shb trials to sb trial shb only had like 3 good trial themes and thats it
Just ran Emanation recently.
DPS in the chat says "save LB3 for the healers"
I didn't even know I had a limit break before this point.
The More You Know.
SuperDude Taylor pffft, that sucks dude. As a Raise Dragoon Mage (RDM) im forced to hold back on LB so the Ninja or the Healers can have it. If I had you as my healer the party would wipe XD but don’t fret, I’ve seen worse. Shiva EX was terrible with the Astro we had, and she’s not even that hard. Some healers just dont know how to play their class. Dont feel bad, okay?
I don’t really blame you lol, healers hardly ever use it unless everyone is close to wiping
@@fart9653 Well, it's better than Tanks
@@meiwasstruc2914 I totally forgot we even had one until the fight that came out in 5.3. I don't think I'd used it even a single time before then.
DPS gets to use LB more than the healers.. and rareeeelyyy tanks.
Just ran a blu group for her spell, now this damn song is stuck in my head
Probably my favourite song in the game right now. It's so fun to sing along to
It's been so long but god damn this is such an interesting track with asian influences all over from all cultures. Truly underrated track.
Fk being the warrior of light, I’m converting to Lakshmi worship.
I like this song cos its like a mix of three cultures which makes it trully unique.
FFXiv is an awesome videogame
stormblood has the best trials in the game you cant change my mind
Ah shit, I felt myself dozing off while listening to this. Bout to turn into one of the dreamers real quick
Ikr
This is personally my favorite, based on how unique the music is apart from the other Primal Battles. ♥️
i hope shadowbringers can stick up to sb theme wise
Theme came out of nowhere and I instantly loved it and its use in the fight!
Absolutely here for her pronunciation of weengs. It sounds so pleasing to the ear.
I love trials and dungeons that make me feel like I'm dancing while I avoid the aoes. Shb has been like that and doing it as dancer has been really fun
I just did this fight for the first time last weekend and I loved the song. The fight gave me so much anxiety but it was so fun! I've been slacking cause dungeons with randomd give me anxiety but I am happy I pushed through.
I did the fight last night and it was soo fun !
I wiped like 4 times on my 1st extreme try so i listened to this a lot...one would think i'd be traumatized by the song but thats FF soundtracks for ya.
REST YOU WEARY SOULS UPON MY BOSOM
This song is so underrated. Just beautiful
not really look at the views lol its one of the most viewed osts
The best part is the phrase that Lakshmi tries to tempt the protagonists with sweet words to make the gods too angry.
Every instanced fight song is a bop i swear.
God the music in this game is amazing. Love getting Laskhimi for the jams.
This fight is awesome song is stunning
Even tho this song brings me memories where I thought i had friends in this game ,i still love it 😌
THIS is the reason Sri Lakshmi is my favorite boss fight so far. (Just got past her in Stormblood and i know theres a LOT more boss fights but this song just slaps)
Y'know, this'd make a great song to do a duet with, no joke. It's at a perfect vocal range that both a guy and chick could reach it easily and it's at a slower pace which is very, very easy to keep in sync with.
It's also just very simple while being very catchy. I honestly can't think of a better song to do a duet to. (I'm also not even sure I'm using the term duet properly, but fuck it, it's 11pm.)
Agreed.
Just woke up today with this song stuck in my head. Thanks for scratching the itch, since roulette wasn't nice enough to give her to me today.
Rise high...
High above our eyeballs :)
ebm242 I really dislike you right now because now whenever I hear that part I hear eyeballs but I gave you the like.
Somebody make me unsee this ('cause i have to unsing this)!
This is now canon. Thank you.
You now gave me a new perspective on life
😂😭🤣
This song is amazing im enthralled!!!
This song wins the most beautiful in my eyes but my favourite for motivation and pure fun is always going to be Rise (Alexander)
Fire,
Born of the flames of desire,
This fire,
Give in to the hunger,
Give in to the hunger,
Cast off inhibition,
Let passion run wild,
the second one is "Give in to the anger"
I always heard "fly high, high above our eyeballs." I think you're correct but I like eyeballs more.
Especially since when I sing it I emphasize that word. Makes it sound silly 🤣
I gotta hand it to SE, EVERY Primal gets their own theme and they're all good.
kurisu7885 true. Soken is a God
Except Shiva. >_>
This is not a battle, this is just an endurance test, if you can beat it without dancing you have won.
Susan Calloway performing this at Fanfest was amazing. She's such a good singer
Such a good Primal theme
I gotta tell ya I didn't really like this fight until I started maining Dancer. Wooo boy this is the best fight to play as Dancer. I had so much fun. I have fun playing Dancer anyway this fight doubled it.
Mom's "Alluring Embrace".
sicko
As a new player seeing this boss. Hearing her theme. And getting killed by her becouse I have no clue how she works I can't wait for the later stuff
To be honest, this boss is the least primal looking out of all primal bosses, she actually look like a peaceful god, sadly we had to cut her down
Yes, exactly. Primals are not always battle hungry or dominating, take Ramuh as example. I mean, yeah, I would love for a scenario where Lakshmi helps us to fight against foes, even just temporarily.
Doesn't she entice people and mind control them?
Yes, because she was summoned by a mentally-wrecked mother.
Hearing a different perspective is interesting. I see her peaceful demeanour as a facade to draw followers in, kinda the same way Sirens lure sailors to their death.
Well she is like Siren, may do no catastrophic harm but best at mental control abilities.
