- CONTAINS SPOILERS (if that wasn't obvious)
Take a first look at the boss music in the new dungeon, Ihuykatumu, in Final Fantasy's next expansion, Dawntrail!
Development Footage. Subject to Final Adjustment/Changes.
I was just chilling but then I just realized that this comes out this month. Looking forward to it now.
Looks like they made the text that said the boss is about to do something easier to notice, which is really nice imo
I hope that indicates they're also upping dungeon boss difficulty or complexity a little. They've become face rollable on release in a lot of cases and Yoshida has commented on wanting to increase difficulty again, but without going too far to make them frustrating. Hopefully this gives them a method of balancing more interesting/challenging fights in dungeons without them becoming Variant level punishing.
@Garozulan Or maybe you just need to git gud
With a timer bar!
I hope it's an option to disable cuz it's really distracting
Let's just say that I was fine with how it was. I just think it's a nice change.
MIZZTEQ UR BACK ♥♥♥ I missed your content i was honestly really hoping dawntrail would bring you back, ur the best guide channel 💖
That final boss theme is surprisingly heavy, dark and epic. Really makes me think it won't be as happy of a vacation later on in the story :)
Don't get your hopes up. Ever since COVID, FF14 has gotten EXTREMELY soft and hasn't even come close to anywhere NEAR as dark as they used to be.
@@zackt3288 We literally went through the dead remains of planet's that succumbed to disease, civil war induced nuclear Holocaust and lives so long lived that the only option the people had left was suicide because they had literally done everything there was to do in life and saw no further purpose in living on.
@@zackt3288 Hell, the final boss of 6.0 is literally a conglomerate of a trillion dead souls wailing in agony at a fate they deemed as unfair. Like you're telling in yourself that you didn't actually play EndWalker at all.
@@trial_with_an_error9687 Oh I did, and it was extremely overrated.
@@zackt3288 I am not sure how much darker you need, Endwalker has a family die and turn to monsters as part of a dungeon (children watching their mother die, then themselves) ´Dead ends dungeon is quite literally the apocalypse of worlds, with one involving a scene of someone quite literally sending off a nuke to kill basically everyone which dawns upon him instantly afterwards.
I don't quite remember final fantasies doing even worse than this, seems pretty on par.
Triumph stays on top
The Floridian in me weeps for that manatee
Because it's a dungeon boss theme. A theme that you are going to hear several times in the game. This theme flows well and loops well as a standard boss theme. The effort will be better spent on trials and raid bosses. Encounters that are designed to be a lot more flashy.
Oh the huge manatee!
Why do I get a hint of FFXVI in the Final Boss version? Soken still in his grind I see.
I was not expecting the miniboss theme to slap me in the face right off the bat, I love that
It's interesting that CBU3 released a very similar DLC to FFXVI which was also tropical themed.
As a FF16 player I see the similarities.
Not to mention, the final dungeon boss theme sounds *very* FFXVI.
The final boss theme reminds me of FF16 soundtrack.
Insatiable and Finality are way better but this is also good.
In the benchmark trailer, the mid boss theme sounds like it’s mixed a little different than it it is in game, doesn’t it? Like it’s sharper in the benchmark trailer.
It's highly possible the demo from media tour is an older build than what was included in the benchmark, yes.
Ooh cool its that bug thing from FF9!!
My favorite dungeon boss theme
I'm going to die alot because of that moving tornado
Alphinaud as a DPS sage! xD
It's not as bad as I would have feared while reading the comments. Of course as already said it's hard to beat Endwalker two boss themes. Still they are quite epic! The final one gives me FF16 feelings like if Soken composed them in the same period.
the first theme makes me feel like you're on a hunt in the jungle while the final boss of the dungeon makes me feel like you're on a trial/test / challenge, like proving your mettle/skill against a mighty foe.
Which is to say they all sound so on point and great
These are such good themes
The piano and wind part makes the final dungeon boss theme
After porxie the pig, I think this is another adorable boss.
You mean the manatee? I hate manatees so much. They remind me of elephants, hippos, and whales which I also hate so much. . Surprisingly rhinos, dolphins, and orcas are cool tho so they are the exception hahaha
I don't need the dungeon boss music to be over the top. I think these are pretty good, and DEFINITELY hearing the similarities to FFX in the final boss theme.
Nothing can beat "Insatiable" and "Revenge Twofold".
Revenge Twofold is the best! Insatiable is kinda tied 3 way with Stormblood boss, and this theme haha for me
I honestly love all the boss themes from arr(dungeon boss, not mini boss) to endwalker! They're all fantastic and omg insatiable is just iconic!
Insatiable beat itself by getting retroactively applied to all but 3 of the entire expansion's dungeon bosses. Fatigue is a hell of a thing.
@@gackybass Oh yeah I wasn't a huge fan when they added the Dissidia NT remix to EVERY miniboss in ShB. 6.4 was when they started that I think? Should've just been the 6.4 patch dungeon onwards until the end if they wanted to do it. Definitely gets tiring hearing it so frequently now even if it is a banger.
@@twilightpixel 6.2, which helped the fatigue set in faster, rather than just having to deal with 2 patches of it we had over half the expansion.
"Use Kardia!"
"No."
*Becomes DPS Sage*
Comments here: “Giving me FFX, FFXVI AND FFXVI vibes” lmao what
The triplets flow in the final theme is very XVI, not quite picking up on the X vibes
It's VERY similar to the FFX boss theme. At least the start of it.
And instantly in love. Soken just goes further beyond. Every.god.damn.time.
Thankfully every day this legend is still with us!
Just noticed that Alphinaud was a dps despite being Sage.
That's what happens when you join as a healer in Duty Support, yeah.
Good catch! Probably for story reasons your party is way smaller at the start of the expansion.
Alphie: *cocks Noulith* I'm a Healer, but...
Hien/Gosetsu can also be a Tank Samurai in Duty Support
Or HW Y’shtola with DPS CNJ but named “archon” instead
I’m not ready to say goodbye to On Blade’s Edge yet. And this isn’t helping.
I love these! Been listening on repeat 😊
When hearing this for the first time, I immediately knew this trip to Tural wasn't gonna be as lighthearted as it seemed.
Love the vibes from FFX boss theme ❤
As someone who plays apex legends the final boss's title scares me
Mid boss theme is better than the final one!
REALLY love the final boss theme
mini boss theme tho is alright...
Difficult to top "On Blade's Edge", to be honest.
On blades edge was shit, glad to be rid of it
@@LordRobaZe we've been rid of it for like almost 2 years
@@LordRobaZe I'd subscribe you hearing aids and a doctors visit, but nothing can cure whatever you have.
@@ozmintheobserver nah im pretty good
@@LordRobaZe Mentally insane gotcha.
I will never get over seeing Alphinaud with a DPS icon
Final Boss theme sounds like Sixteen Bells from FFXVI at times
I dunno why but this theme gives me HEAVY drakengard 3 themes, especially your fight with Three.
So it's still Triumph on 🥇, followed by Insatiable on 🥈. This, Ominous Prognisticks, or Finality might be fighting for🥉. Nemesis languishes in it's genericness.
There is some *strong* FFX dna in that final boss theme.
I kinda wish they didn't use synthesized horns and strings for these expansion-wide dungeon boss songs, though.
MAybe they 're heavy on synthesizer as a sneak preview/teaser to solution 9 (Scifi city almost cyberpunkish) which most likely to be center of the story
@@extinctbaryonyxsynthesized horns and strings as in using midi recorded sounds to play digital versions of instruments instead of live recordings of the instruments. It's the difference between things like Omega's regular music and the Orchestra versions you hear in ultimate
the boss theme is actually the ffx boss theme 17.5% faster in tempo + dawntrail leitmotif'd the hell out of. 8 seconds into it, the music that starts there is identical, but doesn't last as long as the ffx version a well.
@@RikkiNakesone it definitely sounds inspired by Enemy Attack but aside from the rhythm of the louder drums, it's completely different even down to the sound of those drums.
Final boss theme belongs with 6.3 onward
I like how Wuk Lamat is both a tank & dps as warrior. That means when I play war as the offtank in 8 man raids as the blue dps, is correct way haha. I was planing to do the msq as war but I wish I can make her tank as I am dps instead with duel wars comp depsite how the game will force me to tank instead hahaha. It's also interesting how Alphinaud can be both healer or dps as a sage. Did he lose his summoner job stone and can't find it? It's also a bit strange how an insect is an apex predator in this ecosystem but I loved seeing the pumas and worms trying to attack it in the boss fight. I feel like the last time we fought a powerful insect was Ravana back in HW.
Is that first boss literally just a manatee
Not bad but not better than shadowbringers, endwalker, or even heavensward after they made a more unique song for its boss battles in the patches.
These themes are ok. I am not saying they are bad but, nothing that gets me going. Midboss themes for ME (Notice I said ME) in order would be Endwalker, Shadowbringers, Heavensward, Stormblood.
Final Boss Themes would be Shadowbringers (Insatiable), Heavensward (Ominous Prognisticks) Endwalker (Finality), and Stormblood (Triumph). I won't include ARR as they had multiple themes that I liked but the one that sticks out to me is Fenrir's Theme (Pennons Aloft).
I figured the boss themes would take a step back from being epic and dire since that's what Dawntrail is supposed to be: lesser stakes in a new beginning. Still a great theme!
Rip to those iaguar heroes at 3:00
Mid boss theme is well, mid. Doesn't help that Endwalker's mid boss theme was the best dungeon boss theme period in the entire series.
Final boss theme however is great. Has that old-school FF feel to it.
lol endwalkers mid boss theme was shit
No ost in 14 is shit
Big ff16 vibes on final theme
yay it wasnt just me that heard it! im so excited!
am i the only one who hears a small bit of 'to sail forbidden seas' inn that final boss theme? not that that's a bad thing, far from it! (its actually my fave track from xvi!)
Its not tht bad, plus its lowkey giving me ffxv ost vibes since it sounds dramatic
"I mean.. its alright"
Very cool 🎉🎉🎉
I feel like the first is one of those songs that's meant to just be adventurous but gets its own full remix for a story boss, probably by the Primals
Like Insatiable and Insanity
Final boss theme for this one is making me feel ways I havent felt since hearing Ominous Prognostics the first time. Not saying new expansions are worse, HW just holds a special place in my heart
Both songs aren't bad, but they are def a far cry from what we had in every other expansion.
The midboss theme is a lot better for sure. The boss theme really needs like a more powerful chorus maybe even just saying lines from the opening song.
Are they? Ominous Prognisticks wasn't that good either
I like it much better than EW's tbh
Is it weird that I feel like the songs should be switched? But yeah these sound underwhelming to me. Please give honest feedback, they might listen to us.
The final boss music is no finality, which is the best song. I am a bit sad.
stormblood still the goat
Why are you fighting a manatee?
Because it was in the way.
I'm okay with how downscale this feels, the stakes aren't as high as in the previous 2 expansions but the dungeon boss theme still has a bit of a kick to it.
Shadowbringers had the best boss music
Nah now stop the glazing
I’m getting FF15 vibes and I’m happy
Final boss theme scares me. It sooooo epic. We will get in some serious mess... it can't be all fun and games.
The mini boss song is... rather underwhelming, i dont mean that its not cool enough but it just feels like an alternate title theme rather than its own thing. The final boss theme is on the knifes edge of being the same situation
It wasn't that bad as people said here. It was different and great IMO. The final boss reminds of FFX Enemy Attack OST.
reminds me too much of ARR. previous boss themes and mid boss themes were better.
It's sad to say, but dawntrails normal battle theme is better than the boss themes.
New saga, fair game
@@ArchieGamez Yeah, no.
That's not a good excuse.
I don't understand where any of this reminds you of ARR, do you need a hearing aid?
@@RandomFlask175 No, because I knew I was talking about the way it sounds, and not the motif of dawntrail. *throws your hearing aids back* ya lost this.
This expansion is basically ARR 2
It's good. Like as good as HW's theme was. I expected this theme to be not as good as EW's were. But it's not terrible.
WOW final boss theme went FFXV!!! Daaang!
Yeah 4:22
I loved Shadowbringers dungeon music and Endwalker sound track, I Don’t like this much
Final Boss music gives me FFX vibes I am so happy
Not my cup of tea, i prefer the schb boss theme, not the final dungeon boss, the one used for the first two.
These songs are mediocre. I know this is a low stakes filler expansion, but still.
Dont like them that much tbh, the expansions before that had way better ones imo
Every expansion doesn't need to one up the previous one
@ko8vy No coz it's impossible. U can't just expect that to happen. It will never happen. No MMO had expansions getting better and better everytime. U try making an MMO then U will understand
The final boss theme is amazing, probably the best they’ve done.
Hell no lol
Hahahaha good one. Thanks for the laugh.
Gotta say the previous boss music fights were better. These tracks are too similar to the main theme in my opinion. (the main theme isnt my fav either.) Lets hope the raid music will be great
"Wait, dungeon boss themes are just a remix of that expansion's main theme?" 🔫 "Always have been"
@@twilightpixel Aware of that, previous ones were fine though. There's just something in this one that's going to bother me slightly, but that's just me hahah
It's mostly the beginning of the music, and then it gets better. But ey, cloud 9 music was better already. There's hope
A top comment not mindlessly praising Soken? Torch him! /s
I agree. These songs are too samey and uninteresting.
too many leitmotifs, i feel like this melody doesn't really fit especially with how much they repeat it in the songs
That's what I'm thinking too, leit motifs are vest used sparingly rather than all the time. It makes the pay off of it coming back around that much more impactful
It sounds fine, you sound like a music snob.
"Le motifs" get bent
@@MellowFungus Jesus, fucking, Christ LMFAOOOOO 💀
Soken uses leitmotifs too much man 😂
He has to create 40+ music tracks every two years. I totally get the reason.
@@alchemi8085 I don't blame him either since all these tracks are epic 😊
Final boss theme feels rather ff10 :0
Sadly ffxivs boss fights have not matched the highs the Shadowbringers music was
Endwalker had better boss music than Shadowbringers 🤷🏽♂️
Doesn't need to
Final boss theme is good. Mid boss theme is, well, mid.
Final boss theme is boring
Don't like these and HUGELY disappointed that they entirely drop that flamenco sound. Maybe I'll get used to them but bad first impression honestly.
Really mid lol.
Wrong
@@cyberdrone4411 He's right..
Nope. If this is mid then Triumph and Revenge Twofold are even more mid
Quite disappointed. Not good for a boss battle..
I thought the same about the Shadowbringers boss theme, but it grew on me.
I didn't like the two dawntrail boss theme too yesterday but it grows more and more on me ( and i don't really like the leitmotiv of DT)
People said this about Shadowbringers and Endwalker ones too after the media tour lol
Give it time
Yeah Revenge Twofold is still the best one imo
Really not that good imo
Wrong
Boss theme is great. Especially after how underwhelming endwalker’s dungeon boss theme was. Doesn’t quite reach the heights of shadowbringer’s boss music but it’s close. Also is it just me or did they up the mechanical difficulty a bit? Good changes all around.
Yeah seems more hectic than before , i'm all for it since the game is boring as fuck in casual content , seems fun :D
Nothing will top SB/HW 3.4
I wonder if Mizzteq is still going to make really bad guides that use footage from world first groups that cleared that she hardly understands...and says generic boiler plate statements like "heal and shield as necessary" because she doesn't actually know what the mechanics do, or can't offer suggestions because she didn't clear it herself just to get clicks. I really hope that this is the case, so that PF can be plagued by her guides with horrible Day 1 strats used by World First groups that work for them, because they are highly coordinated and usually these strats are just bandaids never intended to be actual long term strats. Boy, I can't wait for it. Both her, and Mr. Happy plaguing PF with cobbled together guides that hurt PF since they will adopt that trash for the entire tier :).
These are the best ones since Stormblood tbh, SO much better than Endwalker's boss themes
this expansion might be a masterpiece and all but i don't understand why they keep putting in the game thins like elephants , alpaca, tacos and the entire fking mexico( with all the respect)
It is called Final fantasy i would expect a little bit more creativity especially if you don't have to create a new engine from zero...
I think they planned the whole new trilogy, they gotta save something great and build up for the next 2 expansions I guess? Or else it will went downhill, which I'm afaid it's where we're going if there's no improvement in combat and many various outdated things.
Slightly better than EW’s boss theme, but that’s not saying much since EW’s boss theme is okay at best.
Insatiable is still the best one IMO
