It has been a very long time, my apologies. I have been so caught up in playing Final Fantasy XIV and studying - then you add on actual adult life stuff. Writing blogs on music has not been on my mind.
However.
I will be writing about a lot of different tracks from the Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward OST.
There are a number of reasons. The most important reason is - I LOVE IT.
Lets start off with this one.
Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward OST - Locus (Alexander Boss Theme)
There is a reason I am starting with this one. A lot of blogs start with the Heavensward track, which I will write about another time. This one is a very good one to start with. It is at the end of the album, its very end-game: yet I feel it is an amazing track that not many people seem to talk about.
This song is played through the boss fights for Alexander, The Fist, the Cuff and so on. You fight your way through the corridors to the boss room. I always feel pumped up, ready to take on the boss. It keeps momentum throughout the battle, regardless of how many times you need to wipe. I always feel enthusiastic and ready to kick some gobbie butt!
It starts off slow, the voice is nicely distorted to give it a mechanical feel, then the drums and bass start and it gets you prepared for what is to come. The rhythm stays throughout the track. It is a very good boss track. I don't find it grating or irritating. The vocals break up the beat of the music which makes it a lot more bearable. I always find myself bopping away to the music while killing the boss.
Summarise: The music makes me feel happy, enthusiastic and ready to kick butt, and want to dance while doing so. Important points!
I really do hope they carry this style of music on for the raids. It makes them more enjoyable, havinga good backing track to a long dungeon / battle is important. People end up losing pace and end up getting bored.
Good work.
I absolutely love this OST, I am so glad I bought it. Again, Square Enix haven't disappointed me.
I hope you enjoy this track as much as I do. Until next time!
