    The Vocalist was actually one of the guys working in the offices of the US Square Enix Branch that they had to convince to work on the track. I believe the source for this was during the Fan Fest where Stormblood was announced? It was in an interview with Michael Christopher Koji Fox (Localization Lead, who also sings many of the tracks) and Soken. There was a whole thing at a panel where they talked about how Koji ended up singing several tracks and then got Soken to sing some himself before then looking for more people still within the Square Enix team that had unrealized talent. The vocalist was very shy about singing and does not like his voice. Soken had to promise to auto-tune him... and Soken lied. This is the raw vocals with no tuning. But the guy was pretty surprised about it, but he didn't originally want to have his named credited with the performance, which is a shame.

    The wildest part about Unbending Steel is that it's intended to be diagetic, halfway through the fight this huge bug man gets so excited he smashes the walls and breaks into song like the least kid friendly disney movie ever. Some of his attacks are directly lyrics from this, like Rose of Hatred (those lyrics in turn are a tie-in to the first phase's amazing string theme, "The Hand Which Holds the Rose"). The whole section is a great testament to how well they manage to make a character who only shows up for a couple of scenes tremendously memorable with music.

    "Is this throat singing?" Probably. Ravana is the god of war of the bug-men, so my guess is that they wanted bug-like buzzing for the main vocals. Soken doesn't let things like "genre" get in the way of his creativity. He'll Frankenstein some genres together into a song that somehow fits perfectly in context, and they're always absolute bangers. As for a request of a song I personally love: Return to Oblivion. It may not have the same impact on you since it uses leitmotifs of a rather tragic character (Footsteps in the Snow and Oblivion). If you look up a lyrics video, you may be able to get a feel of how sad that character is. But the song itself is an absolute banger.

    @@JessesAuditorium To add onto this, a lot of the vocals are done internally by office staff. Or used to anyway, Oblivion was sang by two localisation staff members, and the lead singer of The Primals (official ff14 band) is the head of the English localisation. Soken really loves to use internal talent, even having to persuade them that their voice is good and would work. Now days though they're bringing in a lot of professionals for the vocals. Information from PAX 2015 about unbending steel. "The idea came about to use a Japanese tenor, but he couldn’t do the Gnathic language so they used Dragonspeak. Unfortunately, that singer’s schedule was too full, so the lyrics were re-written again in English (and, fun fact, sung by the Localization lead of FFXV. This singer didn’t like his own voice, but Soken was able to bribe him with promises of auto-tuning)."

    I have a severe phobia of insects and arachnids. With that said, this 10 foot tall samurai scarab man is the coolest gods-damned thing ever. Extra cool factor: This song technically has a prelude at the start of the fight, that transitions into this when it progresses far enough. The prelude sounds like a waltz of sorts, set to a violin. It really elevates the experience of what is essentially an honorable duel, by having a simple opener to a more controlled theme. Then this theme kicks in - sounding like an army march and a call to arms - as we rejoice in the glory of combat!

I was like, "I KNOW I've heard this before, but how? Where?!" A bit of searching on Google and I found the answer: It is indeed the Phase 1 fight to Ravana! "The Hand That Gives The Rose" is the song.

Those who fought in ages past have their legends sung today, whereas those who have died in the last several centuries did so for naught...

    Unbending Steel is one of my favorite songs in the game by faaar. Not only is the singing so incredibly talented, the general composition is really great. The lyrics are SO cool for the boss, who is effectively a god of war and combat, to the point where he sees a thousand year long war happening around him as a garden fit to pick the fruits from. It's such an interesting way at describing the story of Ravana. The faded grey lyrics in the video are just the next line of singing- so in the frame you paused on, the current line is "The storm it rageth on", and the line coming up is "The bold ever fight on". There was a backing vocal track, but it's singing the same line as the lead.

    What I like about this theme (but all FFXIV boss themes in general too) is that they reflect the boss's personality perfectly. Ravana is a perfect warrior, beetles in japan are usually related to warriors and armors, samurais, etc (like shogun's helmet having beetle horns) he sees the world as a big battlefield, and fighting as a sort of dance. It's reflected on the mechanics as well, blue butterflies that turn into swords when they touch the floor. The whole deep red/cool blue motif is to reflect the fires of a forge, hot-red steel turning silver. And the song encapsulates that as well. It's elegant with it's strings and harmonies, yet it has that army feel with the drums, like a march. And the voice is deep and it sings about war and battles, comparing it all to roses and songs. Freakin perfect *chef kiss*

    Hello! just wanted to say I really love your reactions that you've been putting out, I'm so glad I ended up getting recommended one of your vids by youtube! Also for your question about the lyrics below, those are the next line of lyrics if you hadn't realized it yet, likely for if you're singing along so you know what to expect. Though I did also hear a second voice later in the song, from what I could make out, it was just a different voice singing the same lyrics. Also as a quick suggestion for a song for you to listen to whenever you get the time, whether as a reaction or not, the them for the Primal Lakshmi from FFXIV, "Beauty's Wicked Wiles"!

    Great reactions, been loving your insight into these songs it is very entertaining. One thing about ff14 Boss Themes is they almost always come in two parts, the first and second half of the fights are different music. I would recommend trying to find videos that have both the first and second phases of fights to hear the entirety of the music.

"What Angel Wakes Me" is great, but only if u get a few hints about this song bc its much more understand for people who know why we try to kill Fairy Queen/King. BTW most players trying to kill her in first 2months of realase was hear "Time to die" instead "Time wilts and Fades" :) Even when i was make it with my FC they was sing strange cover on voice discord where that one was changed in that phrase. xD [crazy time]

    There’s three FFXIV songs I’d really like lol see you cover, Two paired and one on it’s own. The first two being the Ultima Weapon’s Theme, Ultima & The Diamond Weapon’s Theme, In the Arms of War. Preferably both in one video consecutively as the latter feels a lot like a remix of the former at least in part. The third is one of the most memorable and iconic themes of Shadowbringers, The Theme of Innocence, Insanity.

    One of the coolest parts of these fights from a gameplay perspective is that the lyrical songs aren't what starts the fights. The first parts of the fight is a far less epic song, but each boss has some big attack mechanic you have to circumvent to survive, and THEN their themes start. It's the indicator that you're about halfway through the fight, but also the boss is done holding back.

    Playing this back when Heavensward was the current content, the music completely carried the fight. Such an incredibly powerful, potent & immersive soundtrack that made this one of the most thrilling fights for me, the music just evokes that "let's fucking do this! Come at me bro!" feeling. And Ravana's whole personality being hungry for combat & a challenge, him testing our mettle just really set up the mood for the fight so well.

    This theme (as with many of the boss themes), is the second part of the battle. A lot of the fights have a separate theme for the beginning phase and the ending phase. The first part's theme has a very interesting "waltz" style. It makes the battle feel like a dance. That's where the transition near the end of this theme ties in.
