"I gotta learn that."

*Proceeds to learn it instantly*

This fight is based on a FF7 boss so the fact that you pick out that link between songs is amazing. It's so subtle 👍

[aegisbushido]

I always have the highest respect for people who can listen to music and immediately play. Keep up the great work!

[Reldan]

That's an amazing ear and depth of knowledge to instantly recognize the FFVII reference. The fight this is for is FFXIV's version of the original FFVII superboss, so it's 100% intentional as a reference for people familiar with the original.

This video I watch multiple times a day. Gets me fired up when you compliment that guitar riff at the drop. Would love a proper cover! Thanks for being awesome.

[jewwelee]

You are extremely talented. It is really fun to see your videos.

[Blubbii]

This song fits so perfectly, because the fight itself ingame is so surreal. Most music works even better with context in FF14

[charnotaurus]

Yeah Emerald Weapon goes HARD. I remember hearing it for the first time and going "EXCUSE ME???" do you know how IMPOSSIBLE it is to pay attention to a fight you're unfamiliar with because you're jamming out too hard??? Another good one would 100% be Ruby Weapon - it's another song in the game remixed, but.... well, you'll enjoy it a lot I reckon haha.

[MurakamiTenshi]

He did it! When I heard this song in game, I was like, holy shit, I hope people try to recreate this!

[Raziek]

Seeing how fast you pick these up is absolutely incredible. This song is one of my favorites in this end of the genres 14 touches and I'm so glad it got requested.

[Reruro]

Such a sick track, honestly would to hear a full cover!

[magsigea]

Dude you pick this shit up so fast, it's amazing.
Yeah, this was FF7 - I remember some Knights of the Round material getting me through this fight

[ImOblivious]

The best part of this track is that the fight starts with the heart of sabik track, then part 2 begins with that opening guitar with emerald weapons full form revealed. It's such a raw moment of badass

[MarakamiSG]

EWEX was legit the first most difficult trial I ever attempted with my friends.
We took the entire day to clear it. And we managed to clear it before new years.
This song is officially stuck in my head.

I've got to tell you. I got SUPER sick with covid recently and was stuck in bed for about 3 weeks. I found your channel while i was sick and i literally did nothing but watch your content the whole time. As an avid FFXIV player, and guitarist/brass player of 20 years I have so much respect for what you are doing here. Honestly covid broke me down physically and mentally and all of your music was such a tremendous help while i was laying there thinking i was dying. It got me through it much easier. I really appreciate your talent please keep up the good work. I have my whole discord community just sitting around jaming to your covers all day now. It's a good vibe man. I wish you a massive growth on youtube and major success in your future.

Killing it, Jack. Loving the content. FF14 doesn't get the credit for the amount of absolute bops on the ost. Limitless Blue being a personal favourite.

[heyitsgaz]

the fact he can just play a riff by ear is so jar dropping

[seekittycat]

My favorite 💚 bluesy, metal, synth, orchestral, reverb, it's everything.

[PedroNunez]

FFXIV has such amazing soundtrack, it’s just ridiculous how good it is.

If I could request a a reaction to a song, I truly believe that you and all your fans would enjoy listening to a song from an obscure anime called ‘The legend of Black heaven” known as kacho oji. The name of the song is “Let me go, Let you go” it’s just one of the most amazing song, the guitar riff and just everything about is fantastic. It’s sad that many people haven’t had the chance to experience the soundtrack.

[Bluecatte]

Jack, do that fight sometime. the only that goes harder than the friggin track is the fight itself. those bosses do NOT fuck around in ff14.
