I didnt know Omega was in the game. So when I saw the patch name while playing and it showed a sneak peak of the boss my XIV senses were tingling. When I heard this music, it felt familiar yet so completely different enough that I couldnt put my finger on it. All I was hearing was "HEAVENSWARD". and then I could hear the motif from Azys Lla and I couldnt place it until i paused game and hummed it in my head. and then it all clicked. Beautiful
Azyz Lla is still to this very day one of the best "Final Areas" I've ever experienced in a game. The music, the atmosphere, the monsters, just everything. Heavenward was such a masterstroke of an expansion. Just barely coming in second to Shadowbringers IMPO.
Reusing the Omega theme from XIV kind of makes sense. The Azys Lla theme just feels like a reference for references' sake though. Same as using the FF1 main theme for some of Ultima's scenes.
@@Souleater564 what? I didn't cry like a 3 year old. I just teared up a bit. If you know the story of the composer and the journey he's been on, and then hearing the caliber of music he puts out, it hits hard. It's gotta suck living life not being able to feel anything, or letting yourself feel anything. Feeling things and enjoying it is "gay". It's sad that people like you act like this, like I'm stupid or something for it.
I like that track and the boss's one but my favorite in this DLC was the nd one that starts as you climbs the tower. Too bad we can't get a disc for that one.
After clearing rising tide and acquiring Ultima eikon, I kept staring at its image in the ability tab, with this playing in the background. Very relaxing. The eikon that embraces all other eikons.
the opening piano in this song and also around the 3:15 mark reminds me of mass effect 3, specifically the songs an end once and for all at the end of the game and the Leaving Earth song at the beginning.
Unfortunately, ffxiv has made any mention of "the worm" immediately default to shinryu and now I'm wondering if they're hinting at it making an appearance in the dlc stories.
Even though I knew the final boss from the trailer, I was still asking myself why we could hear Azys Lla, wondering if Soken was just reusing a leitmotiv that he likes. I took several hours before realizing that the leitmotiv is also part of eScape.
