Shiva Primal theme is amazing!

I don't like J-Rock/J-Pop but I did like both parts of the Shiva's song.

"Let it go." I think the Frozen references are getting overdone :P

I loved both parts. Especially the 2nd part. It made me wanna do it again!

Looks like I'm an oddity. I liked everything about the song; both halves and the transition were excellent. The diversity I think is what makes it great, even the silence when Shiva snaps her finger adds to it.

I agree with most people:

* Shiva's FIRST HALF of the Theme is awesome! The 2nd Half with J-Rock is AWFUL. :(

Soken, I really enjoy a lot of your compositions, and I know you have a Rock Band you play in, but seriously, don't let that creep into every single area you think you can cram it into! The J-Rock is so out-of-place / badly transitioned, it feels tacked on.

I thought Ramuh's Theme was gorgeous and a step in the right direction, but then we get this. Sigh.

Can we get Nobuo Uematsu back to do some music for Final Fantasy? :)

So it's not as if I really need to add this onto piles of the exact same opinion, but might as well. First part is thoroughly gorgeous and got me really excited for what was a very well set-up and cool fight. The second half is uh....a thing. It felt like the game music was muted and my roommate was blasting some random album; that sound was so ludicrously unfitting for what it accompanies that it took me a second to process it was actually the game.

I love the FFXIV ARR soundtrack for the most part, and in general I think having phases to a boss theme to go in synch with the fight is a cool idea. Titan did it first (and best), but Ramuh and Leviathan were neat too. This, though....I don't have a problem with phases or necessarily the j-rock being around for a primal but....NOT this one, and not following that beautiful music which was so perfectly suited for a Shiva battle.

The first part is good, the second part is perfect.

I love the two part toghether.

First part felt like a major boss, 2nd part felt like I was watching a fight in an anime. This song sadly lists as on the lowest tier of music for Primals for me (Garuda is top, followed by Ramuh, Leviathan, Titan, and Ifrit) due to the 2nd half simply because it doesn't feel like it fits being here at all.

I like both parts.

I'll be honest, I didn't even notice the music in the first half beyond "Generic fantasy epic orchestrated music" buzzing around in the back of my mind. But when Shiva slipped away from my grasp and started circling us like some sort of predatory bird, and hit us with diamond dust (so awesome), this change of music hit me hard. It was the first time in a primal fight when I actually said "F--- yeah!" and could almost feel my axe slam into an enemy.
