Ifrit Battle (Theme Replacement)

[DracotheDragon]

snip

it was noted (and was talked about at the London Fan Fest) that the main melody of 'primal judgement' was copy written to Nobou, and instead of focusing on the main melody they focus'd on the back melodies the things people don't hear more, also, primal judgement was created with a a orchestra not computer generated, all songs from FFXIV, were created by a band/orcastra,
all the astra to umbral songs are 'covers' meaning they try to sound like the song they are covering giving it a slight twist to fit there style, and personal we need more orchestral type music, so far the main boss theme's that are out that i can think of right away that have this orchestra type music is Ultima Primal judgement (ifrit) and Rise of the white raven / bite of the black wold (bel van darns and gains van balser) the two rock themes i think fit nicely is leviathan and titan, shiva's is nice but you can see by the backlash it wasn't as appreciated as the last 2 i mentioned

I'm not so sure. I think the backlash was mostly because Shiva's theme's feel changes pretty drastically compared to the others. So you had a lot of people who liked the first (intro) half but not the 2nd (main) half. Titan's is just a slow build up, so it doesn't catch anyone too off guard; Levi's is mostly rhythmic drums (really sets the mood though; love that sorta tribal feel to it) before it starts. Levi's change in the is decently big, but shiva's is almost like hearing 2 completely different songs (which could well be the effect they were going for). I think that whiplash brought into the spot light and the split between those that liked it and those that didn't created lots of talk.
