#FFXV #FinalFantasy15 #Reaction
I'm so happy you enjoyed this piece!
Yoko Shimomura is one of my favorite game composers. FFXV is definitely a hot mess in terms of story telling, but the emotional core is so strong and the score just amplifies it to amazing heights.
The soundtrack has never left my iPod/Spotify rotation and I'm pretty sure I've killed a few sets of headphones with how I max out the volume for a majority of the playtime.
I've never understood the hate for XV. I fucking love that game.
@Doppelganger D it was fine. People just didn’t like the story was completely told from 1 POV, where other games switch between characters. If Noctis didn’t see it, it wasn’t part of the story.
@@Xeno_Solarus Mess of plot
@@Xeno_Solarus So do I!
@@Exlegion19 Felt more personal to me that way. Made me relate to him much more.
"Is Noctis a Boss?"
Well for Leviathan and Ardyn he is XD
he is a boss on Ignis DLC, and a hard one at that.
This is played in chapter 4 for the trial of titan.
@@bahamutShin I love the fight and getting the best rank is a nice challenge.
FFXV got a lot of hate but I personally love it! The characters have so much soul and it feels like they’re your actual friends which makes the whole story so heartbreaking 💔
Suffers from the same thing Wow's story does. You gotta dig up everywhere else but the game to really get the story. And the combat... Give me the full story in the game and don't start me on half way through about what's happening in the world and then leave bits out that happen on the side.
It's the best simulation of drunk friends having a bang of a time for sure with what you don't remember about the story/world happenings if you only play the game.
It's not a bad game. But a major disappointment when you consider the wait from the last major title to this one for what we got.
It's a gigantic step up compared to XIII. And one of the better ones.
Square-Enix I think has the problem of trying to take too many money making trends to just make a coherent game stand on its own. They really blew a budget on a sub-par yet still enjoyable movie, a small anime mini series, and a damn mobile game. Not to mention the fact the game had a miserable development. I absolutely love 15, but it's basically poorly implemented and left unfinished due to publisher issues.
Yoko Shimomura is the composer. She also did all the music for Kingdom Hearts games! She is one of the most talented composers in game history imo
"Flying through the clouds at rapid speed." Considering Noctis can teleport around the battlefield by throwing his weapons around, that's not far off 😂 The Leviathan battle in particular (which this plays during) is entirely Noctis in the air.
No, this version plays during Titan's fight. Both are very similar.
It epic intil it glitch the fight near the end of leviathan that prevent it from being kill. My poor sister had to go back to last save file to finish the fight. 😅 Not sure how it happen but it was kinda both funny and annoying at same time. Still it a great game depending on the person.
@@soul1356 best way to describe it is that every single aspect is either a masterpiece or awful
While similar, this is not the piece that p[lays during the Leviathan fight, that is called apocalypsis aquarius. This one plays during the Titan fight.
FF14 and FF11 are the two MMOs in the series so they have regular new content including new tracks. FF14 adds about 20 new tracks every 3 months so it has a huge library. The other FFs are single player games so outside of some DLC, the entire OST is generally part of the original game. FF14's had about 10 years of continual new content including new music.
When you hear this song start to play in a battle in FFXV you know stuff is about to die
Shattering his arm was just amazing.
To answer your question, this music plays at a few climaxes in the main story of FF15. Honestly "Apocalypsis" is a fitting name as those moments are epic in proportion but also surrounded by some pretty extreme devastation. It's the kind of song where you enjoy the adrenaline while it lasts, because when it's over... Things aren't going to be the same.
I personally love this game, flaws and all. It's pretty much the only non-MMO Final Fantasy that I can confidently say that I've completed more than once. I think I'm up to my fourth or fifth run through of the game (twice with the original, a few times with the Royal Edition). The actors did a great job selling the brotherhood in the game, and in fact two of the actors stream together and do live shows at conventions together, and you can feel it in the game. Yoko Shimomura knocked the soundtrack out of the park, though if you have the Kingdom Hearts soundtracks and XV on the same playlist, it can get a bit muddier at times which album is which.
The theme that starts the game off officially and is the end credits for XV is Florence & The Machine's take on "Stand By Me", and it's a beautiful take on the song and it fits perfectly with the plot of the game. Doubt it's react-able due to the DMCA, but give it a listen if you haven't already heard it at some point.
Noctis is the main character. This plays during some of the most epic boss battles in the game. They're insane. The music is so good in this game. It is an RPG, but a single player RPG.
"Does this mean I have to choose which one is better?" Absolutely not, you string all of the versions together and then you transcend to another plane of admiring Yoko Shimamura!!
My request might be a bit too similar now, but then again, I've just given you another version to like!
In regards to feeling 'bigger' than 14, I totally get you! 14 is constrained a bit in that Soken has to compose his fights in phases and loops and generally had less funding? But Yoko's Speciality is heavily narrative, epic pieces that are made for Single player games instead of MMOs :D
If you're interested, there's her entire performance at London Abbey Road Studios with the London Philharmonic Orchestra that was just- man it's so good. I watch it over and over because she's so good on the piano haha.
This song especially makes you feel that adrenaline rush when fighting a boss! Epic as hell. I'll have to check out the Tekken version now. Didn't know about that.
XIV recently got an expansion and has exploded in popularity so it's basically the FF that is trending at the moment. It being an ongoing game means more people are finding out about the music and many people have been streaming it lately as well so it's reaching a further audience.
It hasn't been officially confirmed, but it is very likely that Soken is composing ff16. His style is all over the trailer that was released last year.
I recommend checking it out because it will give you an indication of what Soken can do with a bigger budget and support. Ff14 will also get better treatment in the future due to its rise this year so we may see "bigger" tracks there too.
Most XIV fans will have a deep appreciation for music from the FF series in general. No matter how you feel about any particular game in the series, the music is not typically a point of contention; it's almost always of the highest quality in the industry.
The reason for the volume of XIV requests is probably just 'cause there's such a wide variety of sounds XIV has to offer. Somnus and Apocalypsis Noctis are the identifying sounds of XV, even if it has tracks that stray from them tonally, whereas deciding on a musical identity for XIV is like nailing Jello to a tree. XIV fans want to give you the full picture, and that takes a lot of songs to do, lol.
XIV is also currently the most relevant title with the next expac coming out.
This is one of my all time favourite games, and one of the only ones to move me to tears. It’s just awesome, weird, and fun. Highly recommend. And Yoko Shimomura is amazing.
Some FFXV love at last ! The composer for the main game is Yoko Shimomura, that you've already heard in your Kingdom Hearts reaction. I believe it only plays during some bosses or moments in game, there is a specific boss that has a track named "Apocalypsis Aquarius".
There is even more versions though, and the one I like the most is maybe the one people have never heard as it was added in the Royal Edition 2 years after the original release, so I might request that one at some point :)
I know it was the big song for the trailer of the crossover with 14... and played over the garuda fight when the 15 comes to 14 side is up
Yoko shimamura is the composer for FF15 .. and I LOVE LOVE LOVE FF15 it was a very fun game with great 4 main characters.. also the OST of the game is one of my favourite OSTs
Ah, yes!! I LOVE this game's soundtrack!
FFXV is hands down my favorite FF game. Not because it's the strongest in some individual metric (though musically and emotionally it comes VERY close), but because the sum of its parts is just an unforgettable experience for me. I've played 7, 10, 12, 13, 3... none of them hit me as hard as 15 did.
As for some of your questions:
Is it an RPG or an action game? It's the first non-MMO FF game to fully step away from turn-based elements and embrace a fully action-combat system. It's not perfect and you can tell it's their first time doing it, but it was fun!
Is Noctis a boss? Nope! A couple minor variations of the song play when facing two of the major bosses: Titan and Leviathan. They are some of the most visually-satisfying and epic-looking set piece fights in gaming period IMO.
FFXV has SO many incredible tracks. Off the top of my head a few more i can recommend are:
- Omnis Lacrima (Boss theme)
- The Fight is On! (Battle theme for Duscae region)
- Hammerhead Theme
- Prayer of the Oracle (Episode Ardyn DLC title theme)
- In the Light of the Crystal (Prelude arrangement for FFXV)
If you want another FFXV song to react to, I'd suggest Valse di Fantastica.
Proof to why Yoko Shimomura is my favorite composer and I believe she's the person going ham on the piano.
FFXV was a mess. I think we can all agree. But with that said, I love it to death, everything about it is just *chef's kiss*
so you might say that you found a new recipehhh!?
@@SwordChux godamnit Ignis stop saying this every time we try something.
@@SwordChux I could taste test for ya?
Fun fact: Yoko Shimomura is actually the main composer to the Kingdom Hearts series (:
Looking cozy here :D I absolutely love this song it absolutely hypes any story battle to 120%
FFXV is... complicated...
It was originally conceived as Final Fantasy Versus XIII, with development hell and company internal changes rebranding it into Final Fantasy XV. With a change of directors and core themes etc.
A lot of people have mixed feelings on this, in terms of gameplay FFXV was a rushed game at launch with many seams and holes. Throughout the years it was improved with DLC patches, but it still left a bit of bitter feeling, but development hell continued and the DLCs abruptly ended, with the director leaving the project and company.
I have mentioned in my comment under the somnus video, imo, Somnus and Apocalypsis Noctis were sort of written for two different games. I'm curious what do you think on the differences between the two tracks, now that you've listened to them both.
@@dangerwarg9682 Well more than half a decade was unintentionally lost. So it was more like most of said Joe went missing.
That's a lot of words to describe a tech demo for Final Fantasy VII Remake
@@dangerwarg9682 I doubt they cared about FFXV's graphics when they put out more graphic engine tech demos than games. I was talking more about the combat system. Mechanically, it seems they learned a lot from XV
You might like ~Final Fantasy Type-0 - The Beginning of the End/What Becomes of Us~
15 has some of the best music in the franchise. The budget for music is so much more than other titles like 14. Plus 15 has a full orchestra in its recordings.
I really like 15's music but imo, 14 is better.
@@popkhorne5372 yeah 14 has more variety and bangers for sure.
While I didn't like FFXV that much, the music is *chef's kiss* fantastic. It fits in the game so, so well. Yoko Shimomura, the composer for the ost, nailed it with the ost.
FFXV was the game that got me into games. Before playing it when it came out, I had a very sheltered experience with videogames. I knew names of certain games and characters bc pop culture and I played lego games, Mario games, and various party games up until I was 15 and my parents let me finally start to play more things. Now that I've played a bunch of other games, I know that XV has its issues, but man it's such a big hit of nostalgia for me and I'll always love it.
I really enjoyed 15. Bit of a messy start, but once I got into it, I was hooked
most underrated final fantasy imo
Wow. Just asking my opinion on this game. FF15 is a touchy subject for most people but what it really is, is just straight up a experience. I have seen a army vet ball his eye's out to this games theme's and the way it just feels different for most people.
Everytime I hear music from this game it just hits every nostalgic button in my being. Yoko Shimomura did so much with this.
I love the fact that you only hear this track like 3 times in the game and each time it plays you say to yourself, “well s@#t just got real no holding back now.” At least that’s how I feel every time I hear it in game. Glad to hear your opinion on this track. Also I recommend listening to Otherworld from FInal fantasy 10 or Final Fantasy X or FFX it’s all the same really.
I will never forget going to Distant Worlds to see Final Fantasy songs played live in Symphony and the exact week I was attending, the new FFXV trailer came out. Distant Worlds had permission to play one singular track from the soundtrack from the game. They chose this track and it was incredible.
Can't imagine!
Uncle Jesse,
Have you played Little Nightmares (1 and 2)? If not, would you consider listening to the soundtracks?
These songs are my recommendations:
- A Feeling For Meat
- The Lady Circles
- Hunger III #2
- Beneath The Waves
- Little Nightmares II (Main Theme)
- Boots Through the Undergrowth #1
- The Man in the Hat
- Signal Interference #3
Number 1, 2 and 3 are my personal favorites
Final Fantasy XV is my favorite game of all time by far, it made me happy seeing you enjoy the music like this. ❤️ It doesn't get as much love as other games in the series, but I think that will change in time. 🥰
fun fact, this plays when you fight against what's basically a god, but a different version of this plays when you fight noctis in his secret boss fight in one of the dlc episodes
Yoko Shinomura is the composer, she even composed music for Street Fighter II. Fun trivia about Street Fighter II that not a lot of people know. During production, Shinomura watched Top Gun and subconsciously remixed a song from the movie into a character's stage theme. The theme even inspired the rest of the character's creation, including his backstory. But since Capcom was so afraid of lawsuits at the time, instead of making her go back and make a new theme, they instead swapped the stage theme with another character. So basically, Ken's theme, which sound's a lot like Mighty Wings, by Cheap Trick was originally Guile's theme while Guile, his stage, and his backstory with Charlie was based on Top Gun.
This song, especially the Aquarius version is an awesome epic piece of music. I really enjoy seeing the genuine reaction of an actual musician since I don't understand anything about it lol.
I'd really suggest that you try to watch the actual game footage to the corresponding songs as well. I feel that especially in FF titles composers do an amazing jobs complementing the visuals/game scene with music. Whenever i play the leviathan fight in FF15 It's giving me goosebumps instantly and it just feels like the most epic fight ever.
To me it'd be super interesting to not only hear if you like the song or not but to hear your thoughts on how good the composers in terms of complementing visuals.
Fun fact there is an optional seasonal event in ff14 where you can get items and trade them in to get this song to play on in your house, apt, private room, or inn. :)
Another FFXV masterpiece is Ifrit's theme: Hellfire
The boss fights on FFXV are incredible
Ff15 was my favorite soundtrack. I'm glad your doing more videos, I enjoy watching your channel.
This song is Shimomura's crown jewel and FFXV is her magum opus. Its just a sublime soundtrack trough and trough.
This actually got placed into FFXIV as part of a crossover event. Complete with you working with XV's protagonist to defeat a Primal and getting the ability to drive the cool car around Eorzea. I have fond memories of messing with my friend with that. Sitting in my college game room, playing XIV. We're chatting about the world because he doesn't know much about the game so we're just talking and then I pull out the car and he breaks off from what he's saying to go "Ok what the f***? Where the f*** did you pull that from?" And then I made it fly and he just stood up and left... came back 3 minutes later but it was still funny.
About getting a lot of Final Fantasy XIV requests and not as many of the other ones (I don't know if anyone else already borught this up in comments yet, I didn't do a thorough read):
The truth is, Final Fantasy XIV is pretty close to counting as a gigantic crossover of every other Final Fantasy, on top of being its own game. It has it's own narrative, but it constantly borrows bits and pieces from other games of the franchise. There was a special timed event recently in which Noctis comes to the world of XIV and you have to help him back, so several compositions from XV (including Apocalypsis Noctis, exactly as you heard it here) are featured in XIV, and somebody could've just as well made you listen to this while watching more XIV footage fighting at Noctis' side.
As a huge fan of XIV, and having played other games of the franchise as well, I personally think that it's not about not liking the other games as much, and instead that we're just the most vocal and passionate corner, because to like Final Fantasy XIV isn't to love only XIV but to kind of love ALL of them, and we can still make you experience other Final Fantasy music even with XIV--just that it's often been put through the Soken filter and made into something new.
(Which, if you'll allow me a low-priority suggestion as a non-Patreon... You could consider comparing the original Eternal Wind or Crystal Tower Theme from Final Fantasy III by Nobuo Uematsu, and then listen to Soken's re-orchestrated and piano versions of Eternal Wind, plus Shattered as the Syrcus Tower's Battle Theme in Final Fantasy XIV.)
Thank you for all your reactions! I found you roughly a month ago when you started listening to XIV music, but I've also peeked at some of your other ones. Despite often rocking out and headbanging to recommendations and suggestions, I love how calm you look and sound before starting and when giving your assessment afterwards. This is a wonderfully chill channel and I'm glad I found you!
Thank you so much:)
My favorite track from FFXV! It is literally the definition of epic.
Speaking of Hammerhead Garage...you could check out "Hammerhead" from FFXV. Because chill guitars and stuff. :)
Well, to answer some of your questions: FF15 is an Action-RPG. This is a boss theme. Noctis is the main protagonist, but you can fight him as an optional boss in one of the DLC's (where you play as the other party members).
Oh Comrades
How about you react to the FFXVI Trailer. I dont think they officially have released any OST used in that trailer but it's GOOD.
Final Fantasy XV is pretty awesome. It wasnt great when it first came out but now, with the patches, I think it's an epic experience. Noctis, the main character, has some really cool moments.
Okay I have a few that you should really check out. :
FFXIV OST - Weight of the World
FFXIV OST - Eden Prime's Theme
FFXIV OST - Bipolar Nightmare | The Copied Factory
FFXIV OST Ultima Theme - Part 1 ( The Maker's Ruin )
FFXIV OST The Rak'tika Greatwood Theme #1 ( Civilizations ) laa-hee!
FFXIV OST - Vamo' alla flamenco
Sorry about the list, there are some of my favorites that I think you should hear. A few of them really sold the game to me.
FFXV is a action rpg with flowing combat. Sadly it was plagued with development issues as it was going to be a XIII spin off as part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis world but latter being broken off to its own thing. The whole XV scope was HUGE! Spanning the main game, a movie that takes place during the first chapter of the game + a handful of story DLC chapters, and 6 part anime that takes place quite a few years before hand, and mobile game that mirrored an ingame game, AND LASTLY a little pixel game about Noctis's father while in his younger days... woo... the game has its flaws but I still love it and how it plays.
FFXV is one of my favorite FFs, granted I came late to the party and I prefer real time combat rather than turn-based combat, but I still stand FFXV is one of the most emotional FFs for me.
Same composer as Kingdom Hearts btw. Yoko Shimomura is a musical prodigy, she can do no wrong. You might know some of her earliest work in Street Fighter II.
Hell yea a fellow Tekken fan. Noctis is also one of my mains
I played this game just last year for the first time and it was amazing. Absolutely. I don't like the older final Fantasy because of the turn based combat but this game was great. People who played it at launch say it was pretty bad but I can say anything about that cause they fixed pretty much most of the issues and I had an amazing experience with this game.
FFXIV has so many songs so there is something for everyone. XV has songs but I've mostly forgotten them (battle theme is good tho (side note on the music on XIV, the composer does Kingom Hearts music as well, might wanna check it out or play the games)) but if you want something fresh but not so fresh then look up FFIX, battle theme, boss theme, dark messenger, beatrix theme, anything goes on FFIX. I might be a bit biased because FFIX was the first Final Fantasy game that I ever played.
Yeah FFXV has probably my favourite video game music of all time, I highly recommend you check out Omnis Lacrima and Nox Aeterna, those are my personal favourites from the OST.
I believe every Final Fantasy fans agrees on one thing regarding FFXV : the OST is freakin amazing! Would love to see your reaction to "Omnis Lacrima" and "Ravus Aeterna".
now to finish the trifecta with Apocalypsis Magnatus from the DLC
FFXV is a game that I would have loved A LOT if they had put all the DLCs in the main game. Especially the Ignis DLC is so much character development for Noctis (the main character) himself, imo. And that sadly was extra content that not everyone had access to :(
But the soundtrack is so amazing and I love seeing you reacting to it! Especially because you have already heard another version of it! The FFXV soundtrack does feel like it has much more orchestral feeling making it bigger than XIV :D
I love XVs music. I promptly bought the OST once I started playing XV. I just love the music in this game. Listen to it frequently in my car. And I love this game. In my top 5 with VII Series, XIII Series,VIII, and X. 😁
And Noctis is the major Protagonist of XV. You actually play as Noctis throughout the game save for one part you have option to play as Gladio and the DLCs of course. XV is RPG and this plays during boss fights like against Leviathan for example. 😊
If you want to know what the latin choir is singing here are the translated lyrics:
Through you alone there will be worship.
I am the one who sends the stone and rules all lives.
Heaven, earth, aversion.
Great, small, return.
Strong leadership and command.
That binds to the voice of light.
With all full light, the end of apocalypse.
That which devoured all life, darkness.
Evil increases bringing death.
For! For! For! For!
The mighty king, warrior, with the sword in his hands.
Battles in virtue, survives the enemy.
But death comes first.
It is certain that it will come!
To all! To all! To all!
Now is the time, this is a place where we are established, finally, each of us!
All!
So I’m gonna give a left field suggestion cuz theres some bangers in the bullet hell genre. The Stage 5 theme from Espgaluda II, “I’ve waited a long time for this moment”
Noctis is the protagonist you play as. This song plays against the final boss, essentially your final chance to stop the apocalypse.
As a whole, FFXV is the one Final Fantasy game that I actually think SHOULD have been developed as a trilogy.
The first part covering the initial area.
The second part expanded up until the big "Empire Strikes Back" moment of the group being broken apart.
The third part being fully fleshed out "World of Darkness" with the eventual return of the hero to the climactic battle.
If it had been planned, storyboarded, and announced as a trilogy set from the start it could have worked and they could have told a complete story, as well as the sales keeping revenue flowing to further work on the rest of the game. Normally I'm not a fan of the multi-release Final Fantasy games, but XV actually really would have benefitted from it.
They can say what they want to FFXV but it's OST is great!
FF15 is an interesting one to talk about. It has a lot of baggage from being in Development hell for years. It started its life as FF13: Versus but was eventually split out of the FF13 universe and made into its own story. I hated the magic system in it, but as a story, its quite good. It's a Road Trip story about brotherhood and the heavy weight of destiny. I would recommend it as a narrative experience. Make sure you get the patch that fixes one of the chapters. It's an Action RPG that tried some things that are innovative. I personally enjoyed it, but it's not my favorite game in the series. My personal favorite is a LITTLE more decisive in the form of FF8. 8 is a Love it or Hate it game. But I would strongly recommend giving FF15 a shot if you have 100 hours to sink into a narrative. A LOT of the music has a sense of scale. Check out Leviathan's theme in FF15 if you want to have a visual sense of scale.
Also, quick note: FF14 and Soken hold the world record for most tracks composed for a single video game so... That's why there's so many 14 tracks. And it gets bigger every year. There's like... 5 or 6 albums for the game on Spotify.
I wonder what he would think about Twilight of the Gods from Fire Emblem Echoes - Shadows of Valentia.
Or even God-Shattering Star from Fire Emblem Three Houses.
Hell, maybe even Midna's Lament from Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess?
I'm enjoying this delve into FF music though!
I definitely recommend you check out the song Hellfire for Final Fantasy XV. It will give you CHILLS.
FF XV is an orchestral masterpiece on it's own, way above all other soundtracks in matter of monumental/majestic themes. It's kind of music that you go to Philharmony or Theater for a big orchestral concert. It's very ambitious on it's own, but the game gameplay and build was not up to the par with music, so that's why people often tend to talk less about it :)
There are plenty of favourites, full ost basically, but to mention one - Valse Di Fantastica - has an amazing feel to it ;)
It's actually the same composer that works on the Kingdom Hearts OST's!
The actual song is only 2 minutes long and loops ingame. The original version has a small loop section which replaces the normal end to make the transition of the repeat smoother. You can also hear it in the OST version which repeats once. The version you listened to seems to be looped by the uploader which sounds a bit weird (at 3:24). Just something that I noticed immediately as I'm used to the OST version.
By the way there is also "Apocalypsis Aquarius" which is pretty much the same song but with some of the piano parts replaced with electric guitars.
cant stop hearing elder scrolls at the start
One of my favorite games
Ah this one... Hits me in the nostalgia feels. Noctis is the main character.... This song plays in the battle against Leviathan.
This is probably my favourite track on the 15 soundtrack in all honesty.
I love this game to death honestly, i played almost every FF now and after multiple runs XV ended up in my top 3 of all.
What's your over top 2 ?

A FF in nioh combat style... Give me that!
I only hope that square gives the protagonist a good character and fix your partners, in the first demo they actually did nothing xD
the most epic battle i fought was to the sound of this epic song
What a song
This song plays when the main character Noctis enters these trials to prove he's worthy to some of the gods in the world with a trial by combat thing. It's massive and pretty overwhelming visually which is something the song matches perfectly
If you want to look at the visuals look up FFXV Leviathan or Titan. It's overwhelming no other way to describe it
Great video btw. Can't wait to see more
Love all the final fantasy you're reacting to! Maybe something from the witcher 3? Child of the elder blood and steel for humans are both good ones.
Great to see alI these FF song reactions, I Hope you take a dive into the FFVII remake music as the Airbuster theme is a must listen. Loving all the content Jessie keep it up!
lots of ff7 coming and that one definitely is too!
You should check out the other versions of this song too. Apocalypsis Aquarius and Apocalypsis Magnatus.
If you are on the FFXV OST's I HIGHLY suggest either Valse Di Fantastica or Hellfire!
I can't say i didn't like 15 since i spent 115 hours in the original release, but it definitely got better in the Royal/Windows Edition (final edition). The original release had serious pacing issues, while the Royal edition didn't fix all of it, it was basically impossible considering Square asked you to both watch an Anime and a full Cinematic release movie to get the entire story, but it did improve it.
Noctis is the protagonist, and its an Action JRPG.
FFXV was my first Final Fantasy game and although it has (many) faults, it will always have a special place in my heart; I would love to see your reaction to some of the non-combat themes like Wanderlust or Crystalline Chill!
Something quite epic from FFXIV : Final Omega's theme (torn from the heavens) or Eden's promise : Eternity (promises to keep)
But let's be honest : any pick from the Final Fantasy Series is guaranteed to be a good one
the refrain sounds a lot like the Oblivion theme
This is one of those tracks that is really enhanced with the sequence from the game playing with it.
Rules of nature is the same way when you get to it Jesse, just fyi
I love FF15, I was very on the fence leading up to release because it looked so different to my favourite FF games.
then they released FF15 Kingsglaive (a feature film basically building the world and setting up the prologue/world state) and i instantly fell off the fence deep into the game.
it still took a bit to click but then by the end of the 100+ hour journey it was hard putting it down for the last time.
Song is epic, somnus too (left once my console on to fall asleep to it XD)
Game was ok when it first came out they improved it since with dlc an quality of life updates and it's really good now.
FFXV is the first real action RPG in the series I'd say, it walked so FF7 Remake could run. The improved a lot on the combat from FFXV to FFVIIR. FFXV really feels grand in scale, the graphics and soundtrack really makes the game feel epic.
My personal favorite.
I am a huge Final Fantasy fan, having grown up on the more universally beloved entries (those being VI, VII, IX, X, and XII). I waited for around ten years for this game to come out, due to its infamously hellish production, and hoped it would be great. And, on launch I was a bit disappointed with the game. That said, I have played it pretty consistently since its release five-and-a-half years ago and I gotta say that it has become one of my top five favorite entries in the series. It's so endearing, the characters are charming, the atmosphere being welcoming, hell . . . even the intro to the game says "A Final Fantasy for old fans and first-timers." It's just a great game if you want to enter the series. It is also just great on it's own merits. The characters, voice cast, and music are probably my favorite components. The story was good after some of the tweaks, but I would have liked if they placed the bits they stored in the film, anime, and other bits into the game as well. They should have just lengthened the story period, as it felt way too short. I could have standed at least ten more hours of story. It would have made it truly epic. Hell, had they done that this game would be a definite contender for top dog of the series. But alas, it shall remain in the "underrated, but still great" category that some of the other entries fall under. Truly unfortunate.
of you're checking out the FF15 OST i'd listen to the song Conditioned to hate. the singer in that is Lotus juice, a rapper who sings a lot of awesome songs for both games and anime.
Really Hope to see you react to the Dastardly Duo theme from FFXV Comrades OST.
Suggestion: FFXIV - Twice Stricken from Eden Verse: Fulmination. Absolute banger of a song!
Shoutouts to Jet "Piplup Guy" Eriksen who's been counting their requests of this
FFXV is a flawed game. But it’s story left a strong impression on me. And the soundtrack played a huge role in this. Also, there’s a similar but a more rock-like version in this soundtrack called Apocalypsis Aquarius if I’m not mistaken
The ifrit fight theme of FF15 is epic aswell, check it out
Since you've listened to this and Somnus I highly recommend Ardyn's Theme from FFXV
If you want more songs from de XV stuff, i suggest Hellfire, I fell in love with that song, its just to epic.
The composer is Yoko Shimomura, the same composer that did all Kingdom Hearts songs ! It would be a pleasure to see you react to more of her work !
I would recommend you Oscurita di Xehanort/Forza Finale, a boss theme of one of the lasts battle in the saga, composed from 3 final bosses theme from previous games !

Second commentary (because I had not finished watching the video with the first)
I always thought it was weird too that you reacted to all those FF XIV's songs and almost no songs from other FFs, because all the FF have amazing OSTs (maybe not X-2).
That means that you haven't been exposed to Nobuo Uematsu that much, this guy is a litteral legend in the industry ! He did all the main FF's OST until X (and most of spin-offs of that same period) You must check it out ! I don't know wich one to recommand of his work, there is so many cult songs !
Clash on the Big bridge - To Zanarkand - Fleeting Dream - You are not alone - Don't be afraid - Those who fight - Those who fight further - J.E.N.O.V.A - One Winged Angel - The Landing - The Promise - Searching For Friends - Liberi Fatali.
And so much more ! All those I just cited are classics among classics, and I forgot so much !
Otherworld too ! It's not from Nobuo Uematsu, but just because it's the first real metal music used in FF (Intro of the X) I think you would love it ! The legend said that Rammstein did this song, and a lot of people thought this for a long time ! But not at all, it was some quite unknown guy.
Really loved FF15. The only downside to me was how it skipped time or rather the route they took as their take on “maturing” the cast and progress the story but I will be Frank, out of ALL the hype songs before fights in FFs, NONE made me get as hyped as the apocalypsis songs prior to some fights. It made the whole battle and feel so much more vibrant. Amazing game and astounding score.
