Surprised this hasn't been posted anywhere yet, although the hype around 3.0 likely drowned it out.

First time hearing it, I actually didn't care for it much. But it's growing quickly on me personally, especially if it's used in combination with the 2.4 trailer music post Diamond Dust style.

So, love it or hate it? And more importantly, what are those blasted lyrics!?

Lyrics (may not be 100% correct. Guessing involved!):

When they revealed the 1 min snippet (and before telling us we had to actually get far in the fight to hear this part), to be honest... I'm pretty meh about it.

I don't have a super yay feeling for it. It's not bad but... I'm not really feeling it.

I like the snippet, but I'd have to hear it in the context of the entire piece to make a real judgment on it.

That said, the snippet doesn't really "grab" me the way the last phase of Titan (Under the Weight) or the opening of Garuda (Fallen Angel) does. Under the Weight especially has that "You thought that was a fight? This just got real" feeling to it. Smile

Let me put it this way, I don't care for it right now. But at the same I didn't really care for Leviathan's theme when I first heard it either.

It could grow on me if I end up hearing it a lot, really depends on how often the fight comes up in a roulette I guess.

As for the lyrics, this is what I could hear...

Edit; That first line is the bane of my existence. What the heck are you staring at?

Edit 2; Possibly "Staring and pray" for the first line. The second line is definitely "I take a run" not, "I take a breath".

Kinda meh about it as well - was kinda hoping for another Ramuh-esque or Leviathan BG.

Blue · **10-20-2014, 05:12 PM**

Sounds like the opening theme of a japanese anime, honestly. <_<;

Think I'm going to be in the minority here when it comes to liking it, and I do.

Crisiet · **10-20-2014, 05:19 PM**

I uh... I kinda like it. Lol.

I like it. It reminds me of jpop circa 2000-2005, for some reason the vocalist sounds really familiar like she's imitating someone's style, but I can't put my finger on who. Ringo Sheena, idk? It's really familiar and it's driving me insane.

I dig it. Can't wait to hear the rest~

Would be my take on the first few lines.

My two gil on how Shiva's story is gonna play out has been further reinforced by these lyrics, though. It's a bit farfetched, but I like thinking up farfetched ideas.

It's a sound theory Merri.

***Nero*** · **10-21-2014, 12:37 AM**

Hm, to be honest I was expecting something a bit more along the style of Ramuh's theme, something very...well, cold sounding, with a detached feeling. I do generally like the sound of it, and the guitars are nice, though the fact that it sounds like a 90s anime opening (and Engrish to boot) makes it hard to take seriously when considering we're supposed to be fighting an elemental demigoddess. Titan and Garuda's theme had some real weight behind them and some dark tones that made those themes more appropriate for major boss encounters.

That said, this is only a small piece of it, so maybe the full thing is better.

I was hoping for something different, but it's alright. It's certainly unlike any music currently in-game.

Azureus Scipio · **10-21-2014, 06:23 AM**

Sounds like a 90's pop song -_-

Berrod Armstrong · **10-21-2014, 06:40 AM**

Yesterday morning I had it on repeat while I was dressing, got really into it lol. It took a few listens for me to warm up to it. Got that nostalgic late 90's early 2000's feel and really takes me back! Can't wait to hear the rest of it along with the fight. I haven't been disappointed by any of the primal tracks so far.Â

The lyrics are different too, they don't seem to include the worship theme that the other primal tracks with lyrics do. I'm interested to see how that all comes into play.
