Thundarr posted:Most people will say it's either The Maker's Ruin or Torn From The Heavens that serves as the WoL's theme but I agree that Ruin fits better. It's short and to the point, and the point is that you're a hero and you're here to punch some badguys.

CYBEReris posted:no mmo i've played comes close to ffxiv's total package of gameplay, music, and cinematography that communicates a narrative that feels like a cohesive story but of them the closest are probably gw2 and sw: tor. wow mostly felt like a gameplay-centered open world with a story loosely bolted on through quest text but that might've changed since the last time i played. FF14's package in that regard really is second to none. I wouldn't normally do things like the 24-man raids or Eden or the Weapons or what have you in an MMO, but FF14 nails the sheer spectacle of fights so hard I do this stuff I'd normally be very adverse to because I just plain want to see it. What made me decide to buy the game originally was normal mode Ifrit, the very first big fight of any kind in the game, having a presentation on par with end-of-tier bosses in WoW.

"Holy is a heal spell" is a joke that writes itself and should replace LB there.

Orcs and Ostriches posted:I'm not sure about that. The Maker's Ruin is a surprisingly short track but it has two distinct phrases. The theme as a whole becomes associated with Ardbert and ends up in Heartless (video has Omega spoilers) and More than Truth (ShB spoilers). Heartless also mixes in the WoL motif from Torn from the Heavens. Where it gets trickier is that the second phrase specifically becomes a component of the main Heavensward theme, as heard in Ominous Prognosticks, Imagination and lots of other places. They diverge after the first 7 notes but boy do you hear those notes a lot. The game's soundtrack is something else when it comes to motifs and callbacks, the only other franchise that I can think of which even comes close is Kingdom Hearts. One of these days I'm going to drive myself nuts trying to document them all.

The 7 note piece that's repeated (usually) 3 times in all of the Heavensward songs are the first 7 notes the 11 note pair that always show up in the other three.

The jingle that plays when you get the right door in Lyhe Ghiah sounds identical to the opening few notes of Freefall and I panic a little every time.

Blockhouse posted:My favorite bit of music synch in this game is still how during Shinryu Ex the Stormblood main theme part of the Worm's Tail plays right when the Protostar fires and the lyrics kick in while you're running over Shinryu's tail dodging lasers Mine is when the rocking Leviathan remix kicks into high gear just as Levi starts blasting you with massive laser beams in E3S.

The entirety of Ravana Ex's second phase synching with the music is goddamn magical and it is a tragedy that few people get to experience this any more due to level sync and ilvl bloat causing you to push him too fast. Only really works with min ilvl now. The actual best music sync is the world 2nd clear of Bahamut Prime though. Holy poo poo that was tense.

I think that's a normal state in Lyhe Ghiah. I've found I prefer the roulette wheel variant, just because there's no perception there that the inevitable bad result was your fault. And my favorite musical moment in the game will always be Those Piano Notes coming in for the final boss of The Twinning.

If we're talking about best musical moment in general, the boss intro in the Twinning is right up there but still beaten by That Scene right before the climax of 5.0 and the intro to the Nidhogg fight in 3.3.

Locus is kinda a letdown after A Long Fall. I would have preferred Rise if nothing else. The Faith in Her Fury - Primogenitor - Dragonsong - Freefall - Revenge of the Horde combo is solid gold though.

So many of the posts are like you're discussing a game I haven't played, because for me the main quest so far is: 1. Pirates did something mysterious. 2. A mysterious masked man did something mysterious. 3. From time to time I float in front of a crystal while invisible Tilda Swinton says random words.

Those are all recurring themes but it's a steady buildup to the things we're talking about. Two out of three of those things occur in this very patch, actually.

Imagine how much time you'd gain in MMOs if stuff was just closer together and it didn't take like a minute to get from the BSM guild to the nearest aetheryte. Out of combat movement speed should just be, and look exactly like, Vanquish movement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tysaJyJ1hA edit: actually in-combat should be Vanquish too. All action games should copy Vanquish bewilderment fucked around with this message at 03:46 on Dec 17, 2020 |

Do Bojzan mobs not give XP anymore? I was on a freshly 71 AST and wasn't getting XP or Mettle for mobs, just for FATES. Didn't it all use to give XP and Mettle?
