FFXIV OST - Eden's Promise: Eternity (Promises to Keep) 

Seriously though

I play piano myself and think the intro ruins it but hey everyone has a different taste x)

@@deliriumhopps1173 If it was like normal garuda where it begins with piano and follows up with guitar then yes. But in this case for me at least no :D

@@deliriumhopps1173 It reminds me of Rivers In The Desert from Persona 5. It's like a pit spot, a change of pace, and it just adds another layer of emotion to the music. I think it's very well done.

To be fair, the piano intro is also missing from the official track.

in retaliation you have to kick her nuts , problem is that there are too many of them

Until today, the intensity and speed at which the orchestra and choir hits still catches me

SAAAAAAMMEEEE!!!

How? This is the most generic aspects in FFXIV there is a choir hitting in every musical piece to this game lol. One example off the top of my head that did this right was the battle with Shinryu. I favor more of a musical swell and Shinryu's theme hit all the right marks. The choir just hitting in the very beginning wasn't that crazy but the part at 1:28 is the best part.

@@rogerarteaga2665 you just don't get musical phrases then. The somber start with the piano has such a finallity to it that when the choir and strings hits it says everything we're feeling and more moving forward, the moment stays with you until it repeats and the short term nostalgia re-invigorates the sentiment every time it passes.

@@Spritus3241 that’s how it hit me while doing it, each time it looped around I remember just being like “O_O goooooo!”

@@Spritus3241 I understand musical phrases. This adds no nostalgia as the theme really doesn't tie to others that much. You're all being hyped by choir when as it starts it isn't that impressive compared to the other pieces of music in this game.

Oh yeah probably will be an ultimate in Dawntrail! I hope the economy is better by then, cuz people who I'd actually want to raid with are always working too hard to raid now. Statics never stay together

how do u know it's gonna be in the ultimate?

​@@toastee5421Fairly sure cuz it's the Final boss theme, besides it would fit, it has a very hype pace to it. I can picture it as either the first phase or the one to play after one of the major progression points. Like after Thordan's split timeline or After Blue screen in Omega.

@@toastee5421 This will 100% be in the ult, no doubt

@@nickpanda6 I hope you'll be in it with me.

Wtf is in your head, they are just children's :/ Use word friend, it is more correctly

@@iljagaimovic9166 ?

@@vivianzeng4147 It's more like what kind of relationship do you mean by word girlfriend, boyfriend? Yes, kids can have love friend relationship, or love towards close people and ..... But! Girlfriend and Boyfriend words in English (And Not just English) are used to describe, not just love but between two people on mental level, but also physical affection with desire to reproduction, close person for all your life. The problem is what word girlfriend and boyfriend meaning was changed from 1863 - when it was first used as describing specific gender friends. From start of 20 century, in books it was used to describe person who is your only heart person with who you share affection. :/ And this meaning stays till day. I just wanted to say what word is not rely correctly used in this case. And because of this it sounds very disturbing specifically if you are not living in 19 century XD

@@iljagaimovic9166 .... anyways ryne and gaia are dating and in love happy pride

@@beerobot8041 What? It's nowhere is said about it - from where you are taking this information? I just completed quest, there was nothing about it :/

Wasn't it Exdeath that started that? I can't honestly remember

@@arachineatzeer7478 It was, yeah.

This expansion's music has a lot of rock and techno, so this kind of music is a throwback to feel-good, very high fantasy adventure music. To me the music sounds like what one must feel when they are fighting for the right reasons. No inner conflict or doubt. A pure contest of arms and might for the sake of people you love.

...and then BOOM! *THE EXTREME STARTS PLAYING*

is so fkin good

the chord with the trumpets at that part just gives me goosebumps everytime

My favorite part of this score. ❤️

Nailed it tbh

Couldn't agree more! My favorite part of the track!!

Right? My party wiped five times on patch day and it was from a cross of still learning the mechanics and half of us (me included) crying over the music

I'll give Savage a go before endwalker

Gimme a shout when you do, can hopefully help you wipe a bit less

did you kill this savage?

@@e2k220 my static imploded one night, while I was working, found a group and. Progging now.

@@massPanic22 The fight gets fairly more easy and understandable the more you prog it.

That’s actually mad

Its actually something you learn/pickup (?) in music; no 2 themes/leitmotifs/phrases should be played exactly the same way, even if its written exactly the same. Musicians would make very slight variations. You can see this is most pop songs, where the 2 verse (after the 1st chorus) is very slightly different from the main/1st verse.

I checked that out on the orchestrion source list, thanks for confirming!

@@Dworim np thanks for posting it with the piano finally

The orchestrion doesn't have the piano part in it and I'm upset :

The piano part is actually its own separate song, titled 'Treasured Memories'.

Right?

yes

I do like those big reference climaxes but, the more I think about this and how incredible and jaw-dropping it is thematically, aesthetically, emotionally; the more I'm glad they've embraced freedom for more original designs and themes.

I love how formal this fight is and sounds like something right out of a fairytale

Actually Gaia was the Titaness of Earth... She was banished alongside all titans like with Chronos. She wasn't a destructive force but rather a too natural one. She thought all manking creation was tarnishing her earth which is why he was against humans as well... But after Zeus Poseidon and Hades defeated the titans she went to the *underwolrd* just to observe what the world became ...

isnt the boss modeled after artemis?

@@eightex9437 nah she doesn't look like any of her forms

@@pracitus artemis has weird designs in real life I think

@@Crusina ah yeah, the multi boobs statues yes

The cast bar is off-centered to the right tho.

When all you do is cast glare repeatedly you get used to casting glare repeatedly

Its a Original

both in a way. Most of the tracks in xiv are rearrangement or mixed from existing melody(Tho that doesn’t mean they take any less effort to make, probably even more)

@@laurafuura This one is an original tough.

It’s an original, but I could swear I’ve heard a lot of the motifs from elsewhere. The opening strings/choir sound really similar with A Land Long Dead (The Burn).

@@kevinal112 Yeah it has some stuff rearranged but it's all 14 Stuff.

doesnt hear like kingdom heart to me

KH fans are delusional

@@Nyghtgirl27 listen to 0:36 and then listen to ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NoTmWv6rLPE.html 3:40 sounds similar. Still an amazing song tho

It's because the note progression from 0:35 to 0:39 are the same notes that play in the beginning of the orchestral version of KH's Simple and Clean.

Nope, it's Gaia

@@AgathaASR You cleared savage already?

@@crazy13alex Far from it, but there people that cleared

@@AgathaASR It is a Soken remake of The Extreme. Also, You fight Gaia but, she is using Ultemicias moves from Ff8. It's pretty damn amazing.

Two souls become as one. Memories etched in timeless crystal. Battle 1, fight!

I hear it a bit. Definitely something Strange Journey

Likely just non lingual chanting to give the illusion of Latin/Italian chanting

Faux Lyrics. But you can bet Gil that when Eorzean Symphony Vol 3 happens this will be a song there and will be given actual lyrics

Darth Xelion yea pretty much this, they did it for most of the songs with chants. Knights of the round, invincible, shinryu, from the heavens, ultima. I’m interested to see what the lyrics will be for this one.

@@KHRules Shinryu always did the Stormblood chant, though. The orchestral version just made it clearer.

Final Fantasy 14: Chain of Memories

@@Astraldragon0 haha!

@@ryanrushford7918 Well this is Nomura we're talking about....

TBF this is a Nomura original design so it wouldn't surprise me if Soken did this purposefully, especially if this is like I think Gaia's theme.
