After having to do actual work to find the answer to this question (i.e., playing the actual game) and now knowing that I cannot depend on the RPC to answer the questions that matter, I can confirm that the Shiva mount does indeed play Oblivion, the shittiest primal song. For those of you who were wondering, you're welcome.

Due to this outrage, I have cancelled my subscription, uninstalled the game, threw my hard drive in the microwave, and called the police.
So.

Maybe some people are actually -not able to play the game right now- and would rather talk about stuff that -does not require them to.-

rip steps I will miss seeing people flail about with your mechanics and the ensuing arguments when failure happens. It was at least for me some moderate entertainment when it was clear no one wanted to listen

Please respond, this is a much more important issue than posturing about SoF ever being hard or not.

Or you could read the first page where warren confirmed that they gave the primal mounts the primal music?

"make friends"

I'm sure that's easy and simple for all you social butterflies out there, but for someone like me you may as well ask me to climb the friggin' moon.

You may then (rightfully) ask me why I am playing an MMORPG, but then I would have to retort that this is the closest thing to a modern remix of the original Final Fantasy games we've had in close to a decade now and there are many reasons to play an MMORPG besides social interaction.

And also, what Melodia said.

There are two different songs that play when you fight Shiva! You should be able to look up the fight on YouTube, though the first phase usually does not last very long.

Maybe it won't be mixed by a person sensible of hearing and I'll be able to ACTUALLY HEAR IT.

I'm not a fan of the pop-rock sound, but I'm willing to give it a chance. I just hated the transition and the fact that I could scarcely hear it.

Later someone confirmed that they were the post-signature attack themes if they had any. So you get Under the Weight for the earth pony, etc.

* * *

I also play MMOs because I like the idea of a ton of people doing the same thing, interacting with one another.

Then they say something in chat, and I realize I really don't like people all that much.

sorry, second page then:

For example, on Gullfaxi, it starts Titan's theme right after he uses Earthen Fury. Where as with Xanthos, it just starts with the beginning of Garuda's theme since there's no transitions.

I imagine Shiva's and Leviathans start post astral flow, and Ramuh and Ifrit are the full songs.

Correctamundo on Dragoons! No more do we rely on flanking for Heavy Thrust or being behind targets for the Impulse Drive combo. Monks still have to do dat dance, though.

@FlickeringEmber: I haven't done SoF as a Monk (in fact, I've only ever tanked it) but this is what I do for similarly large targets. You want to stay at the "edge" of the open part of the target circle for your back attacks. That way, all you have to do for the hit to count as a "flank" is shift slightly so that you're just barely on the solid part of the circle.

That way you shouldn't have to be near its footfalls and suffer massive damage.

I wouldn't class myself as a 'social butterfly'. So no, it's not easy. If people are shy then that's something people can sympathise with but if they want to do group content then...they're going to have to interact with other people. Especially if they don't want to rely on the duty finder.

I think you'll be hard pressed to find a player that doesn't have issues to deal with. At the end of the day, though, there's plenty of routes to go down when it comes to finding groups to tackle content. It might take time, effort and more than a few failures but that applies to most aspects of life.

Honestly if I were to monk it up in this instance I'd ask for a cannon position - less of a chance to screw up rotation and I can probably be more useful that way.

I do interact with people. Daily. So my question for you and the community maybe is, when PF groups repeatedly fail or fail to form, and friends won't help, and DF is impossible (I am looking at you FCoB)....what does someone in my shoes do? Just suck it up and accept that I won't get a clear?

I am sorry to say that I'm not a social butterfly at all! But I do see when people offer help, or when there's groups up on PF, and so on. It's a great way to meet people to do content with, even if "hey let's clear this" is your only point of social contact.
