Final Boss theme Perhaps?

Hmmm.. Makes me wonder it would be an awesome Final Boss theme for the Dungeons!

IIRC that's the theme for Coerthus faction levequests. But yes, this is definitely one of the tracks out of the OST which screams "FINAL BOSS MUSIC" to me. Who knows, maybe we'll see it either in the raids or for the Ifrit battle.

Edit: I was thinking, this reminds me of one of Uematsu's older boss tracks. For example: Final Fantasy IX's final boss theme - Grand Cross
The Black Mages arrangement of the same theme

Also something fun on the side
I hope people can view this one. I'm not entirely sure whether you need an account for the American nicovideo for it to let you view videos. But for those who do have a Japanese nicovideo account, here's the source video: Clicky

I think Nobuo Uematsu was on top form for this particular song in FFXIV.

Things can change or subject to change lol, and it hasn't been implemented yet so it still has time to make it into another section of the game. =) and leves are kinda being a thing in the past so it has a chance to be that theme =)

Oh I love that song! The part from 1:37 to 2:20 is hella scary. Sounds like voices from hell or something.

God no, please no WHY CAN I NOT HAVE DECENT BATTLE MUSIC XD

Uematsu-san is about 30 years late to the air guitar scene...

Wow. Now the dev team just has to develop something worthy of this music

Seriously, though.... it would be horrible if this music were attached to any type of leve. I don't doubt that that was the original dev team's intention, but I am near certain that it wasn't what Uematsu planned when he wrote it. Several of the tracks in the game seem misplaced to me, as if Uematsu didn't compose them to be used in the circumstances where they are found in the game. I may be way off here, but I've always felt like the music in Thanalan was a little out of place, like it belonged in a story sequence.

The track the OP linked to sounds to me like cutscenes at the beginning, leading into a major boss battle midway through. Maybe. Although the way the track finishes (starting at 5:14, just before heading into its second loop at 5:53) doesn't sound quite like a boss battle.

But seriously, can you imagine wandering around the lush green mountains of Coerthas on a levequest with those voices at 1:32 moaning in the background? Talk about out of place!

I agree 100% with your idea that some tracks in this game seem misplaced.
Also if I was Uematsu, I'd be extremely saddened and disappointed that barely anyone would hear that song because hardly anyone does faction leves outside of NM ones.

As for the scenario the music could fit to, the top comment on OP's video link pretty much sums up what goes on in my head when I hear it.
