Shiva Primal theme is amazing!

That's because they are too busy bashing the lyrics (despite said lyrics being sung from the perspective of zealots, much like the titan theme).

I have no problem with the second half. Hearing the lyrics, seeing the context and exactly how and why they summoned Shiva to begin with, the song fits incredibly well.

The theme is great as a whole, loved every part of it. I was more worried about Shiva herself not living up to my expectation, but I must say the devs did a good job. I'm too used to "good Shiva", it's refreshing to see her in a different light.

Welp, now the second part is stuck in my head.

Honestly loved the second half, first half is pretty good too. That transition utterly blew me away the first few times.

The transition is a bit off, however, both tracks have similar motifs if you listen enough times. When I found that out, linking the two together became a much more enjoyable experience.

I absolutely love the first part, but the second doesn't befit Shiva at all, and just doesn't hold a candle compared to the former. ;-;

I loved the first part.


The transition is way too off to my taste. On its own, I'd say it's okay, but being a transition from the first part just doesn't work for me.


If I'd have to rank them up... (Just my opinion, mind you.)

1-Ramuh
2-Titan
3-Leviathan
4-Garuda
5-Good King Moggle Mog XII
6-Ifrit
7-Shiva


Mind you, just because it's no.7 doesn't mean I "hate" it. I like it less than the others is all.

I don't think that's what the story told us at all. Shiva wasn't even a primal until her summoning in the storyline. She was a human being that was a part of Ishgardian history, and like Moogle Mog it was shown all that was needed to create a summon was crystals and enough will power. She was technically brand new to the world if I understand the story properly. Making her the youngest primal after Good King Moogle Mog.

Best one so far. Even better than the Levi theme and Titan imo.

I really love both parts of the theme. The second one part has a lot of energy, gives the fight a very neat feel.
