Troia Boss Theme "FINAL FANTASY IV: Battle 2 (Endwalker)" - FFXIV OST 

And he was correct.

Adding this to the list of weird mixes he's managed to pull off. Right up there with Sitar and an entire brass section (Hippo Ridin'), and Trumpets and Electric Guitar (Brute Justice).

The guy shitposts on stage in front of thousands of people, and composed music in the hospital, of COURSE he's a mad lad.

@@handsomejack4125 I love how all the warning he gave the pianist was coming over with the otamatones, and saying "It's going to get weird." Which is why she looks mildly concussed throughout the entire clip.

That's not a saxophone

aah... your spirit... is strong... thank you brave knight.. i will treasure this memento of my journey here.. perhaps in another time.. another game.. we may have been mortal enemies.. let us part as comrades in arms... take this. Treasure this as a keepsake of our fight.. FAREWELL CHAMPION KNIGHT

I can't wait to see how Culex looks in the SMRPG remake.

@@beauwalker9820 i hope he still looks like a 2d sprite. or maybe he looks like the classic 3d look that the other characters had in the original super mario rpg

​@@RealPlasmat1chopefully the former as I Japanese he's shocked to find a three-dimensional world

@@BlazinVoid59 He does say something along the lines of "take back that power to his world" in the original. It could tie the series around by letting him have the old look from the original in the remake. A 2D sprite would also be just as funny

Unfortunately then you'd have to play drk.

@@themissinggene Certified "1-2-3 for two minutes straight" moment

DRK needs a rework. I say this as a DRK main.

Nah, DRK is nice. I don't want them to fuck it up like my other comfort class, Ninja Sometimes you just want something easy to grind stuff with

Twice..? I must have not b een paying attention to the first time... (cause I assume the one in this clip is the 2nd form.. unless it's the first but it would make no sense to have it as a big boss battle and then second form being a bleh-boss)

He plays it pretty straight with the FF4 tracks, but the horn reprise really just sends it so hard.

Soken is currently Square Enix's best musical talent, holy shit.

@@redmagelala LMFAO Soken doesn't hold a candle to Hitoshi, Nobou, Masashi and Yoko. Soken only knows how to reuse motifs 9999 times over again with bum rock opera.

@@DerekDirk Nobuo isn't an employee any more. Yoko is KH and weird IPs only (KH isn't a breadwinner for Square and neither was Live A Live), Hitoshi only shows up for Ivalice stuff, we don't talk about hallway simulator 2009 and his contributions for FFVIIR is like, 5 songs tops.

@@redmagelala I'm not talking about FFXIV I'm talking about the series as a whole lmfao. And hallway simulator 2009 has bad music? What a sh*tty take, but what else can I expect from a mouth frothing Yoshi fangirl.

This is exactly how I felt fighting Eden and hearing a bunch of FF8 music remixes 🥰

@@HowlAvalon Same that shit was awesome too. I felt the same with Mhach (FF9) then the Tactics/Ivalice one, also the FF6 fanservice with Sigmascape.

@@Zephhi I still wish we could suplex the train.

I lost my ever loving mind. IV is one of my old favorites, lots of nostalgia. Our group did it on min IL and wiped twice here and I didn't even care. The hype was immeasurable.

@@TheAsvarduilProject Yeah monks should be able to tbh

Thats not fixing, that's putting a bandaid over a 6in long gash.

Newbies and kiddos need to experience what we series veterans did: Creepy-ass dolls combining into their kaiju form, and music switching to this. Think of the children!!!

​@TheAsvarduilProject oh God I forgot that the music did that for that fight

Please explain.

​@@BlagdenLeCorbeausuoer mario rpg legend of the seven stars is getting a remake on 11/17/23

​@@BlagdenLeCorbeau To add on to the previous comment, Mario RPG was developed by Square Enix back when it was still just Square/Squaresoft, and the game had an original secret boss with a very FF-ish design that played the FF4 boss theme during its battle. And since Mario RPG is getting a remake released in November of this year, we might be hearing this song again depending if they bring that secret boss back. Whether it'll be another remix or not, who knows.

I can't wait to have a rematch with an FF Boss that never were in a Mario game. Hell might even bring the man to FFXIV as well

​@@noyoucantnoicantnowecantsostop I sincerely hope this version is what makes it in and the hud changes to a FF14 similar layout, including Tank Busters and Raid wide symbols for certain spells. After all, if it's entirely loyal except for the secret optional boss, that'd be perfect for me.

Between hearing this and "the battle of the four fiends".... I love this patch and can't wait to get to the conclusion with golbeze

NGL, the oboe or saxo at the 1:07 part sounds so weak, kinda off from the rest of the score parts & instruments

The FF4 nostalgia of this made me want to cry inside filled with happiness. Completely well done.

@Andy Oliver the ex version during her hair mummy phase is total chaos and it’s awesome

This is one of the best dungeons in awhile. I’ve run it a dozen times already and it’s been a blast!

if there are screenshots of this please share them because that's wonderful

If you'd played smrpg you would've already heard it.

@@christaylor86 yes, hence why I commented on reference to that

Well it is nice we are getting a remake of Super Mario RPG relatively soon.

Yes please I want him as a story boss for dissdia final Fantasy Opera omnia they havent reached. A certin area yet in no where the castle cornelia is still covered in a dark aura hope they give it to us as a suprise or yet give culex as an raid boss for this upcomings year annivesary

We knew Golbez and the 4 Archfiends were the antagonists, but nothing could prepare us for how god damn epic it’s turning out

100% facts

I don't even have the nostalgia for it, but my keen Fanboy senses activated the moment that first bar hit me. I have NEVER activated Inner release that fast. Fuck storm howl I NEED THE HYPE BUTTON PRESS RN.

There have been many covers of the song over the years. This is probably the best imo.

Song for song IV has the strongest soundtrack of the whole series. Every single song on it is a banger. It only loses points for being much shorter than later soundtracks, which is probably also why it's all killer no filler.

As amazing as the battle and boss themes of the series are across the board, I would agree that FF4's boss theme is THE battle theme of Final Fantasy, in every incarnation it manifests in.

this song plays too on Super Mario RPG from SNES in Culex battle

@@BeanMan157 - I consider the Culex battle theme to be the best remix of the FF4 boss theme.

Same. I've gotten into arguments about FFVI being the best 2D. And I'm like that's cool and all but I love THIS.

Now imagine it in modern 3D graphics! I personally hope Culex stays 2D or 2.5D. Or even a style clash where he's more like modern FF!

@@Emi-ww8hy lol, i had come to this video looking for this comment so i could write basically the same thing you wrote, but see that i was beat to it

​@@Emi-ww8hyThey have the right to make him 2D, apparently in the JP version of Mario RPG, Culex is perplexed by Mario and Co being 3D as Culex himself is literally 2D. He also says at the end of his fight that he would return when he gets a 3D form. So they could also imply his remake fight a sequel to the OG. But for the funnies, his 3D model could literally be something from olden era consoles like N64 or PS1, with pixelated texture just to make him even more out of place. Well, that's hoping they bring Culex back at all; I've been hearing those who worry that Culex would be placed upon the chopping block of content. But I trust today's SqEnix if they're involved, Nintendo... mixed baggage.

Hmm..........

@@Emi-ww8hy yeah about that ... 😝

I'd die happy

Oh it is so smooth!

I still have the remake for DS, it sounds nothing like it lol the brass sounds completely different than the remake version's theres also the subtle guitar in the back ground that the remake didnt have

@@haydenbennett3547 I had actually been thinking more like the Pixel Remakes' stylings with the clarity of the instruments. It isn't that one either. (And they sound nothing alike, but it's been a while since I played FFIV PR). As I said, the Saxophone clued me in, because near as I can tell, the other versions don't play with doing something different in the effort of keeping the file sizes small.

I felt that way about most of the content this patch. I found myself getting P7 in a roulette and not even being bothered. Would gladly do the trial anytime.

I do it too for the healer chest xD Kinda suspect it doesn't exist at this point. 😂

This was me getting healer gear... absolutely love this dungeon, and once I learned mechanics, it was super easy.

Same! But it was with Mario RPG - Legend of the Seven Stars. :) You can fight a Secret Boss named Culex (stronger than the Final Boss of the game) and Battle 2 plays when you fight him.

A la the original game where you boss rush them, that would be sick

If he doesn't do it in the story, we'll very likely see it when the Ultimate comes around.

@@Werewulver Don't tease me like that.

@@Werewulver Far from it though, since the next Ultimate should be a tribute for Stormblood

@@Werewulver in approximately 50 years

Same! Love 4 to death

Another fan myself. 6.2 was an absolute treat and a thrill ride front to back.

Same bro

Loooooved Culex. FFIV was my first FF as a kid. And Super Mario RPG was a game I played right after beating IV, god I love this theme so much.

My family and I are still holding out hope that 14 will have us fight Culex somewhere.

Same.

FFIV was my first FF, but I loved SMRPG to death as well. You are not alone in wanting to see Culex. Interestingly enough, Culex is derived from the Latin word for Mosquito, much like Golbez is derived from the Goulbeser (sp) fly from Turkey.

Smrpg is were in first heard this theme! That pretty much convinced me of playing through ff2/4 back then!

You can keep imagining, but pretty sure Nintendo would send a hit team on Yoshi P for even using a fraction of their IP in their MMO. Crystaller would be a cool boss to see in it though...

@@SweetyMiki Wouldn't Culex technically be Square Enix's property? Geno is, if I'm not mistaken, so why wouldn't Culex? Besides, even if Culex counts as Nintendo's property, why wouldn't they be ok with Yoshi-P using Culex? FFXIV is popular and successful, and if they do own Culex they aren't exactly using him at all, so why not?

@@bradleydevron Anything published by Nintendo belongs to Nintendo first. So while Square were the devs of SMRPG, it's a Mario game first (and thus Nintendo property) and a Square game second. It's the same reason we are likely to never see any Kingdom Hearts crossover. Despite being developed by SE, Disney own all the characters and rights to it.

@@smward87 If that where true, then we'd likely have more Geno cameos/appearances thanks to fan demand. We don't, since Geno is owned by Square-Enix. Why wouldn't Culex also be owned by them then? This isn't as simple as "it's owned by the publisher, end of story".

Y'all knew heading in this direction was inevitable, but nobody expected it to be this soon, I bet.

Man, I also imagined RPG battles in my head from these games, so catchy!

lol nice try

Hey...do you know if Metroid's gun is attached to his arm or to his suit?

I really want Rubicante to do an absurd attack to reduce you all to 1 HP, then full heal the party to make it a fair fight again, because you're actually giving him some fun for the first time in ages.

@@jimi_jams oh yes that would be great.

@@jimi_jams That would be amazing. I really do hope they work his heal-before-you-fight chivalry into it somehow.

Well they didn't do the main crazy mechanic of thr present archfiend where only a dragoon could hit them.... but we will see.

@@chrisaich6047 They DID, however, do the part of that mechanic where she would slow you down with her hair--rather than slow petrification it was hair tethering to a spot.

Mine too.

I guess Anima, Ala Mhigo Zenos and the Vanaspati boss were similar in that regard, but I have to agree that I liked it

I'm kinda sad that two of the fiends were demoted to dungeon boss but I can see why they did it.

I mean, in FFIV all the archfiends were dungeon bosses - Scarmiglione for Mt. Ordeals, Barbariccia for the Tower of Zot, Cagnazzo in Baron Castle, and Rubicante in the Tower of Babil. Barbie and Rubi got promotions if anything.

Patch content trials are always done as groups of 3, so just like Anima what they decided to do was give him a pseudo trial as the final boss of a relevant dungeon. They also gave us a duty fight with him to function like in FF4 where he comes back and ambushes the party from behind. He always was the weakest of the 4 so he was the one that was the best choice for the demotion to pseudo trial.

I need power! Light or dark, it matters not!!

@@Veloso-hf1ux FFIV remixed this song too?!

Final fantasy 2/FF4 came out first before smrpg

How'd they use a SMRPG song if it came out before?

Vote Scarmiiglione for your next mayor!

I edited the video to be that way. Doesn't happen that way normally in the cutscene

since he came from Super Mario RPG they can put him at Hildbrand quests

Dude we already killed that. Got anything else?

@@TheAsvarduilProject what?
