FFXIV Teams Up With Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello for New Patch 7.4 Song
During the latest Final Fantasy Letter from the Producer LIVE update, it was revealed that FFXIV composer Masayoshi Soken teamed up with Tom Morello. The two musical legends worked together to create a new song called “Everything Burns”. The song will be featured in the FF14 Patch 7.4 Into the Mist. “A new song by award-winning guitarist Tom Morello, featuring Beartooth, is making its way onto the Arcadion stage in FFXIV!”
The Rage Against the Machine guitarist also surprised FF14 players with a video on YouTube explaining how the crossover came about. “It all started when Jason Charles Miller told me Soken-san, the composer of Final Fantasy 14, was a huge Rage Against the Machine fan and wanted to collaborate.”
In the clip, Tom Morello gave a description of the song. “We wanted to make something super heavy and super powerful for Final Fantasy 14. I wanted to make an absolute rockin’ banger of a track that would mirror the energy and the potency of this game.”

The Tom Morello FF14 collaboration can be heard in the back half of the video (at the 2:26 min mark). Although it’s only about a 34-second clip, it already sounds absolutely epic!
