I think is one of my favorite songs from XIV, even if there are others i love. the game has a huge soundtrack. when it comes to spoilers, in the end, everything is a spoiler, even lyrics but be it the image or be it the lyrics, without playing the game, you really cant make much sense of it, so dont worry too much even if you intend to play it :) every expansion (except A Realm Reborn), as far as i remember, has 2 trailers, one for the expansion and one for the main theme, so you also can see the main trailer for Heavensward. Or, cause im seeing you already have a video starting to play the game :D, you can also see all of those while playing, at the begining of every expansion, to see what you make of it with better context :)
The fact that this is also the theme song for the final boss of this expansion is very telling of the absolute tragedy that has unfolded here. You're not fighting, you're mourning.
The most impressive thing about what is seen in this music video is that it was limited by the PlayStation 3. They managed to make such a solid game with a hell of a hamstring attached to them. They ditched it the expansion after this one because it couldn't keep up even with just this expansion.
When this song kicks in at the start of the 3.3(3.0=Heavensward expansion. The .3 stands for the content patch number) trial fight... always gives me the chills.
The thing I love most about this game's music is that is spans across nearly every genre too. From the orchestrial/soothing musics to heavy metal/hard rock tracks like Scream and Hic Svnt Leones.... This game's soundtrack is more than enough to build a whole playlist out of. I constantly jam out to random tracks
Dragonsong is a masterpiece. Every time i hear this song - i can't but tear up. There was and is still a discussion going on, if videogames are 'Art' ... well... with works as FF14 and many others mind you.. this question is clearly answered. And as many said in the comments - FF14 has a LOT of great music - but Dragonsong will allways have a special place in my heart.
I still contend the final post HW patch content fight against nidhogg to wrap up the dragonsong war isnt hard because of nidhogg but rather because of the endless tears falling from my eyes as this song played on loop until he finally shifted to second phase
