If you listen closely, you can hear the FF14 community scrambling to figure out which songs haven't been featured on the channel yet.

[IceAokiji]

*Jesse:* "I think I may have heard all the kinds of sounds XIV has"
*Soken:* "Allow me to present my protege"

[ornsharkfin]

"Buried alive in the coffin of who I used to be" is so. Freaking. RAW.

[celadore]

Guys! Guys, we made progress! This time he only said he'd "probably" never play it!

Kidding aside, there is so much music in Endwalker that you're going to love once it makes it through the queue. They went absolutely crazy with this expansion.

[julianturberfield]

The boss changes in the video because this is actually the BGM to 2 different boss fights.

Fun fact, there's also a purely instrumental version of this song called "Silent Scream."

[EmpyreanRagnarok]

Just the progression of that chorus. "Scream all you like 'Your gods can't hear you' 'The gods can't hear you' 'No one can hear us' 'Cause we're all mad here.'" Just, the storytelling of this song. Feigned embrace of their new forms, followed by Freudian admission that it was projection, followed by surrender to what they were put through. Also, it was still composed by Soken. It was arranged by Takafumi Imamura.

[VerinVerdandi]

Takafumi Imamura does quite a lot as Arranger for FFXIV and some of his credits, funny enough, are "The Black Wolf Stalks Again" and "Wrath of the Harrier" among others.

Wiping to p6/p7 for hours isn't too bad because this song slaps

[kuroganekaze]

5:10 "I can hear and see you all mouthing the words right now." Bruh I was *performing*, this song makes me feel like I'm in a stage. It really is one of those songs.

[Setulge]

This song was very hype before we even knew it's actual name (it was featured in a patch trailer) and I guarantee that everyone had a similar reaction to "What is that? Where is this from? THIS IS LIT" and you can bet that most ppl were singing/screaming along when we finally found it where it is from. However it took a while to figure out the lyrics (and then we got the official ones).

About Akino, I think personally, the biggest shocker for me was the fact that she's a POP singer and POP is her genre but she went with Scream like she had a different genre under her belt for years.

[TheIndigoEclipse]

This song really reminds me of early 00s days of bands like Nightwish and Evanescence. Super nostalgic for me. I love the dark vibe of the lyrics.

[BuffWarlocks]

One of my first thoughts upon hearing this song, right after "Wow this one's a banger" was "They're not gonna leave Jesse alone until he does this one."

[jedimasterpickle]

It's interesting that Jesse didn't think it sounded like FFXIV music. As a long time player, I instantly recognized the melody in the verses from "Hic Svint Leones", the theme for Hesperos in P4.

[manbearpigsereal]

5:10 you can't just call me out like that

[dragonweirdocreap]

I had this song stuck in my head for weeks on end after doing the raids 😂

[Sollarious]

Incase it hasn't been mentioned already. There's a great mashup someone made a day or so after this was released. Evanescence + Scream, they called it "Scream Under" if you want to look it up. They jive really well together.

[meuanglao]

"whoa, was that synced up with the attack????" YEAH HUNGRYCHAD HAS GOTTEN SO GOOD AT HIS EDITS I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH

[UltimaOX]

AKINO the singer of this song is a Japanese/American musician who with her Siblings bless4, did the soundtracks for a Mecha Anime Franchise from 18 years ago called "Aquarion". She hasnt done much other than this franchise but she has one of the most recognizable voices out there.
"Genesis of Aquarion" and "Aquarion EVOL" are anime series about the Cycle of Rebirth with amazingly gorgeous soundtracks.
I was going to put links to songs from her youtube for Jesse and anyone else to give a listen but it wont let me.

[aeonspast]

"I can hear and see all of you mouthing the words right now" - fucking BUSTED. I still sing along every time I'm in the fights and I'm in them a LOT.
