"To The Edge" with Official Lyrics (Seat of Sacrifice Theme) | Final Fantasy XIV 

he Is a Legend, our legend a legend with his work, and someone that still can make us fall out of our chairs with all these things going on

He is the genuine warrior of light

As this boss says..."For victory, I render up my all!" That's Soken. He is striking down cancer with all of our cheers.

Soken

I completely broke down when Yoshi-P cried and said he's so happy his best friend is back with him. You can tell just how bonded that dev team is.

The song already hit hard, but after endwalker and that line from Venat, it hits so much harder. The music in FF14 is a love song to its players, and I cannot get over it.

@@michaelbart7014 The scene after that is the best part of that whole cinematic. Venat played no favorites, she cast herself out too.

@@NebulonRanger She knows that, those who play favorites cannot truly be saviors

It hits even harder when you realise that Elidibus's sigil is a pair of wings

This is all pretty much *false* . ** SPOILER ALERT ** The player is a shard of the soul of Azem. Azem was friends with many, and if I'm not mistaken, Venat was also Azem reborn just as the player is. The player also goes back in time, meets Venat, and tells them all of what happens. She *absolutely* plays favorite since she has met you, she knows who you are and what you will do. It's a Paradox, the endless loop just like Final Fantasy 1. Only the PC after all these long years have the ability to end it all - Therefore the player **is** a favorite as it was _foretold_ by ourselves.

SO WELL SAID

Best quote ever

Na, that was just another Red Mage jumping off the edge.

@@Spyrit2011 In case you didn't know, OP's comment is about how Masahiro Soken, the composer of this song, was in the hospital battling cancer when he composed it. Hence, Soken expended four limit break bars when pushed to the edge. His cancer was later announced to be in full remission.

@@Webberjo I know the story I was making a joke.

Let me correct this statement, we are all here AGAIN, because of a certain bard, who wrote this in the hospital.

cool song, sadly it does not fit the game.

@@jonathansoko1085 how so?

@@Soomies I'm curious as well why it doesn't fit, since it's pretty clearly a song about the Ancients and Ascian's attempts to bring them back.

@@jonathansoko1085 you think a fantasy game cant have this kind of music?

Yeah. Just had to give it a listen again hearing that 😭

thats true, he is a fighter and now i can hear all his strenght in this song. one of my favorite tracks of ffxiv since it came out

And in the middle of a global pandemic to boot... the heart of a true fighter and Warrior of Light. I think this just became even more of a favorite song to me.

I think we all came here to listen again the song knowing this...

He says working on this, and our reactions to it, really helped him... God...

And he sung for Metal Gear Revengence too! He sung Rules of Nature.

Well shit. This is more of an Epic Fact.

So the good Raubahn, the one that doesn't sound like he's selling me an O2 phone plan.

He also sang "Resist and disorder", one of the best songs in Cyberpunk 2077

MAD SNAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that sums up exactly how I felt over a year ago when I found out that cancer had claimed someone I personally held in high regard.

felt this way when my mom died in '22

For Elidibus, we were the final boss

We are everyones final boss

@@bLuGhOsT_ For some people, we're even our own final boss...

@@bLuGhOsT_ Fran literally says she doesn't wish us on her worst enemy.

Well...isn't everyone the protagonist of their own story? On that note, how many imperial foot-soldiers do we kill across the MSQ so far? Now consider that most of those were conscripts from the conquered providences, many of whom probably didn't want to fight at all but had no choice. Yeah, it's kinda easier when you think of them as "Imperial Hoplomachus, lvl 39."

and what he will be when he is born anew. all our old friends, finding peace, at last return to the circle

They rounded out his story beautifully he is easily one of my favourite characters now . A true friend and warrior returned to the atherial sea. “We are blessed with yet another beautiful day but you are not here to see it”

Without elidibus we might not of been able to save the star he trusted us with his mission to protect the star he is our hero

It's always fun coming back to FFXIV music video comments when something relevant happens in the plot years later

I honestly kinda wish I could feel the same way about Elidibus as nearly everyone seems to, but I just can’t and I have no idea why

@Ji Tiv If you imagine the lyrics as the final dirge of Elidibus and the ascians you find a lot of poetic references to them!

"You are death. And only IN death shall you serve any purpose."

isn't death's amber embrace literally the amaurot going down in flames ?

@@danilooliveira6580 Azem did not agree with the Zodiark plan, he "abandoned" them to their current doomed fate and reincarnated down the millennia to oppose them despite his soul being fractured.

I always interpreted amber not as the color but as the substance, a crystalline material made of fossilized tree resin which can preserve long-dead bits of plants and animals. “Death’s amber embrace” sounds like what happens when naught is left behind but their memories preserved in their crystals; fighting that fate was their only reason for continuing to live.

And this is the same man who gets up on stage and intentionally does bad performances to make the fandom laugh. Soken is an international treasure. We're lucky to have him.

@Vicente Velasquez Koji Fox. Koji Fox and Masayoshi Soken are the ones who really made this game a masterpiece.

@@Noobzlikeu This. True.

@@Noobzlikeu They have a huge team you can't let the other handworkers go unnoticed my friend :)

@@Noobzlikeu I know there's a legion of fans singing his praises, but you can't downplay Yoshi-P's fantastic management of the team. He's by no means the sole architect, but his scheduling and direction ensured not only the revival after 1.0, but that it took a global pandemic grinding the world to a halt to make the team miss a deadline, and even then not by much.

These are not tears, they are vulnerability stacks.

Mood

@@MultiMelodia 52-Vuln pick-up. xD

Not even hallowed ground can mitigate that hit.

@@damir_van_kalaz _laughs in Living Dead_

For me it's "Come and save us, catch us before we fall."

So awesome

"Mankind's first hero...and his final hope" this sentence has a double meaning! it certainly speaks of the first hero of this world, but also of OUR world! replace "his" by Hironobu Sakaguchi .... and remember why the game is called Final Fantasy edit : look at the cover design of the first FF, and then look at the boss...

Tbf though, we didn't kill him. He's locked in the Crystal Tower with all the memories of his dear friends. Hopefully he'll be able to find peace in there.

In Final Fantasy Tactics, which he was portrayed as an optional boss, he is technically speaking the last of the Lucavi demons that transforms and he uses the Serpentarius auracite which represents Zodiark. In essence he is technically also their leader as he is the only one of the Auracite bearer to not succumb in the Lucavi's power. He is also the first person in the game to allow you to learn the summon Zodiark. Also each of member of the Convocation is represented by a Scion of Light (with the exception possibly of Ultima), and in this case Elidibus properly represents Zodiark, while Emet-Selch represents Zalera the Death Seraph

@@robertocaballero1009 hades does look like death itself

@@robertocaballero1009 I don’t think the Lucavi equate to the ascians

@@fancywire7606 They don't. FF14's Ascians is loosely based on Ivalice's lore of Scions of the Light, in itself is already a big nod to all FF series that has used the plot of Ivalice or the Ivalice project.

Ascian official theme.

On its own, it's great. But it's the context and all that came before that really makes it a masterpiece of both music and storytelling.

It truly is

That it is, fuck all the extra info. Circled the entirety of this MMO because I don't care about a plot that will never fucking end. But this song? This song is PERFECTION.

@@solaronyou8610 I mean, this "story" is ending in the next expansion. There will be more after, of course, but 6.0 is wrapping up everything from ARR-ShB.

the fight makes even more sense after endwalker as well

@@titanqore1813 Yeah now we understand why Emet saved us

The line about broken angels, wingless, cast from heavens gates in particular means so much more now

@@yellowbeard1 "no more shall man have wings to bear him to paradise. Henceforth, he shall walk."

Honestly I think many people overdramatize the Ascians plight. Sure, they have lost their grand reality and you can somewhat sympathize with their desire to bring back the world that once was, but you cannot deny that they are very selective in who they wish to save. Its only those of the ancients who believed in Zodiarks cause who deserve to be ressurected and with the price being the world and the lives of those of their bretheren who championed the cause of Haydelyn. Even when this is made blatantly clear by the WOL being revealed as the reincarnation of the lost 14th convocation member, both Emet-selch and Elidibus refuse to acknowledge him and rather dwell on their prejudices and misconceptions than seek greater enlightment or any sort of compromise. The ascians, while not without their charms, are still deeply evil, misguided and deserve the fate they recieve in the end.

@@Jay-bz5qk to be fair, to the Ascians, residents of the 14 worlds are no more than NPC in the virtual game created by Haedalyn, exist by taking the power of the original humans

@@Jay-bz5qk The Ascians refuse to acknowledge the WoL as the 14th/Azem because he betrayed them. He's the only member of the Convocation that refused to summon Zodiark. From their PoV Azem is almost as bad as Hydaelyn, who sentenced the remaining Ancients to a mortal life with disease and suffering. If tomorrow we humans faced extinction and had to sacrifice all monkeys on the planet do you think we'd bat an eye at it? The Ancients were lightyears ahead of the new races from an evolutionary point of view, so yes, they wanted to sacrifice them all to bring back their kin.

@@VDA19 what I meant by acknowledge wasnt ally with, it was assent the close connection between the sundered and the ancients. Emet sees the WOLs soul for what it is during their last confrontation and refuses to give up his assault regardless of this fact alone meeting the "worthiness" criteria he himself set and thats discarding that Azem whose soul WOL bears was his closest friend.

@@VDA19 They didn't sacrifice monkeys, they sacrificed half of their own population, and keeping Zodiark persisting would have cost MORE lives. Zodiark was never a permanent solution. And yeah, they 'oh they're less human/like npcs' argument holds absolutely no ground because the sundered live rich lives, and clearly are *people*, that's the entire argument. The Ascians viewing them as lesser is rationalization of a people who can't accept their own grief and help their descendants prosper.

Well, you know on The First. There is the "Minstreling Wanderer". Hear me out. What if? That is Soken? I mean the Wandering Minstrel that is seen on The Source is supposed to be Naoki Yoshida. SOOooooo....just a thought.

@@Qardo OH MY GOD The Minstreling Wanderer looks like Soken! You're so right!

Any idea what else he wrote during this time?

I was just posting on social media how To The Edge was one of my favorite themes in ShB JUST BEFORE the confession dropped. I crie evrytim

God this hurt my heart a little

This gave me shivers on my whole body, Soken is true warrior of light

Guess you can say it's a countdown..... To the edge?

What if I told you it's even deeper than that count?

@@Diraphe we need to go deeper!

@@Lugzan0 "One brings shadow" = Ardbert "One brings light" = WOL "Two toned echos" = Ardbert + WOL "Threescore wasted" = Lahabrea, Emet-Selch, and Elidibus "Four-fold knowing" = Lahabrea, Emet-Selch, Elidibus, and Azim That is my interpretation at least.

Threescore puts some doubt in my interpretation; because technically threescore is 60. I think it just might be some artistic license and simply mean 3 though.

the way he uses leitmotifs and intertwines them in different pieces is really good

I'd like to see Soken compose for a Platinum Games title. I think he's definitely up there with those legends and would fit perfectly

Even better than Uematsu Uematsu was a genre of his own, a genius but you can always tell it's him Soken meanwhile, claimed EVERY genre, to the point Its genuinely shocking that basically every song in the game is make by him cause they're all so unique

@@BlueMageDaisen *holds What Angel Wakes Me next to Oblivion* I DARE someone to try and guess that these two are the same people.

Knowing now that he wrote this masterpiece in a hospital bed, in the middle of a pandemic and battling cancer, and it was our reactions and love for his work that kept him going to put that cancer into almost a full remission from the time of this comment? Yes. Without a doubt.

Its also Elidbus telling us to end this

@@kyero8724 Hope carried him over the millions of years. In the end, it wasn't enough. That's one reason why it hits so hard for me, at least.

@@AlphaNumericKey It's been 13,000 years since the sundering. A long time, for sure, but not quite that long.

You know, I've always kind of thought that "Answers" was about the Ascians. Or at least the people who survived with some memories of Amaurot.

@@BenWillock I also remember that number as canon, but I forgot the source. ^-^;

The song actually works both ways. If you consider the song from Elidibus's point of view, it gives a lot more context to the song as well. The numbers at the beginning for example, do make sense if you're looking at them from the point of view of the Ascians.

not just that though this song could be about the scions and thier struggle to survive and return home as they worry for the WoL or it could be from the POV of the ancients lamenting what they have lost and wishing for Elidibus to give up on this crusade for his own good.

omg it's armydillo haha boat

When you learn that Ascians aren't actually bad people; they're just people who did what they felt they had to do to prevent their world from ending and gave up their free will as a result, though it still ended up being in vain. Also, *spoiler alert ahead* The player is the reincarnation of Emet-Selch's old friend. That's why in our fight against Elidibus who took on the form of the WoL, Emet-Selch made one final appearance to pull us out of the void. He recognized the soul of his old friend in us during our fight against him. That's why he said that one line. Something along the lines of: "It can't be..."

@@Noobzlikeu They're also tempered by Zodiark and do its bidding. When we defeat them we're also setting them free

True.

@@Noobzlikeu Im sure he knew all along, but it was more of a "ah just another one of her shards..." until we got actually 8/14 and looked like our "true" self for a moment...

5.3 was the best thing in any MMO ever. It's just impossible to top.

It also adds to his tragedy by showing how emotionally invested he was during this fight

Gonna be honest here, y'all need to notice that this is a bullshit ad hoc claim that they made in the story, and it is belied by its use in this very fight. Limit Breaks were in fact already defined; specifically as ambient battlefield aether before. It was said to be something else because dynamis was a not-particularly-well-planned addition, and they wanted to give it that bit more gravitas. I don't mind those things, but it is, in aggregate, true.

@@Ruteekatreya Who says it can't be both? Like most things, it's left to the player to interpret however they want to.

@@Gobble-mike-hawk Sure, interpretation is a big deal - but the framing around this tidbit, whenever it gets thrown out, is around how it was amazing characterization. It imputes motives to the devs, on purpose. That goes a little further than interpretation! And it's generally healthy to understand that retcons happen and aren't the end of the world - they had a point they wanted to make, and they changed a fact to make that point. Which is fine, because it's fictional and doesn't really detract from what was happening prior.

@@Ruteekatreya I'm sure EW story was on paper when 5.3 was written so they "could" have planned this somewhat. And it's not THAT big of a deal so why bother disputing it. Like I said earlier that nobody has stated that it can't be both and it happens to fit into both theories of aether and dynamis. So again why bother disputing it.

I think it was referencing the ascians intentions to unbind Zodiark after causing all the possible rejoinings and sacrificing all of the remaining people in the Source to finally resurrect their people. That's because the whole song can be interpreted from an Unsundered's viewpoint.

@@_amanojaku we're talking about FFXIV though It may actually be a reference to both, and to Umbral Calamities. FFXIV's writers love to make throwbacks and hidden hints (ie : Lahabrea's speech in Prae feels much different After Shadowbringers) Add this to Soken's mastery in music and leitmotivs to help tell the story (with same throwbacks and hints), and you Can fairly assume that it's a reference to the sundering, Umbral Calamities and probably Endwalker

@SiriusSooty Considering so much of what we've seen about Endwalker so far mirroring the fall of Aumorot, it could be both.

Not the first time. Read the lyrics of eScape, the Alphascape v3.0 theme. It's literally about the time travel and dimension traveling efforts to save the WoL

@SiriusSooty seeing as how that last line is said by hythlodeus The final zone, I think it’s safe to say that you were wrong

@@ravenblade5035 At the cost of every life that has arose since that disaster. The Ascians goals are understandable, even pitiable to some extent, but to reach their end they are inflicting the same mass destruction that laid waste to their world over and over again to the Shards and the Source. And that is if their goal is even achievable. Remember, restoring the death is in canon nigh impossible, if not outright impossible. Best example is the primal Lakshmi who restores the body of a dead person, but cannot restore the soul. Now Zodiark is on an entirely different level in terms of power and I wont deny the possibility that it could potentially keep to its end of the word, but it is just as possible that we would just have another Lakshmi situation on hand, Zodiark addhering to the letter of the promise, but not the principle by bringing everyone back as empty husks.

Jacob which to them is ethically valid to do esp since they are a utilitarianist society. As Emet said the victors will be the heros the losers the villains Neither side is right whole situation is fucked

@@ravenblade5035 Except WE are Azim reincarnated so we only work for Hydaelyn's ends when we feel we're protecting things we care about

​@@RyuLightorb One side is trying to kill the other side. The other side is trying to not get killed. I'd say the whole situation is pretty clear.

@@ducksplain It's not that simple but if you put it like that sure.

'Perhaps I never knew you' Elidibus to WoL. I don't think the song is from Elidibus' perspective but those ancients long departed

100% bro. For me it's FF6 Terra's theme. Really motivated me when I was at my lowest in pandemic 💖

Coming to this years later to agree 100%. There are a couple of songs in Endwalker that hit similarly for me, but I still keep coming back here.

For me it's the line right after. "For Victory... I render up my all!" Such a powerful statement, desperation on both sides are sinking in and now they are both at the edge of the abyss with the whole world on the line.

I remember when I heard Elidibus voice I thought it sounded stuffy and old which is fitting and ok but it wasnt until we fought him here "Spawn of shadows!" That I freaking loved it. Great voice for video game! Another one that comes to mind is Asahi when I first heard it I just knew his voiced meant to have a bigger role, it was just too good as a villian and lalida Fandaniel perfect!

It might have been a bit pretentious to announce that your Final Fantasy is _the_ Final Fantasy, but it would have been so cool

It's most likely called that because the Dissidia Version of Warrior of Light has an Attack that's literally called "Crossover", so his LB4 is simply supposed to be a super-powered Version of that, rather than the Name having any deeper meaning.

It's ok because the dead ends dungeon (last endwalker dungeon) in Japanese actually translates to "the final fantasy".

​@@bigballs7911technically "ultima thule" is also just a roundabout way of saying "final fantasy"

Holy crap I've been playing FFXIV for a few months and I never realized that!!! No wonder the Shadowbringers Opening song and this one are so amazing. Some of the best music made for games over the past 15 years seems to be all connected.

Additional Fun Fact: He's also Raubahn's ARR Voice Actor.

I barely started playing for one month and i'm already in Heaven's Ward.

Glad you made it through, Warrior.

@@StrangerForever85 But ofcourse ol friend after that i got to endwalker and i almost finished endwalker if my darn game's subscription didn't expired!... TT v TT I WAS SO CLOSE MAN I WAS SO CLOSE!... TT A TT

We stand against fate!

My turn to do an essay, because yours inspired me to talk about it to :D Just from the POV of Elidibus this is just such a meaningful choice to use that ticking sound that it can have 2 meanings for him. Time ticked, all his friends left him. Time ticked, his purpose and meaning became clouded. Time ticked, and yet he remained here stuck in time, stuck in the past. Even his incarnation of the very first Warrior Of Light shows how stuck he was in the past. Even when trying to move forward. All he did was stay in the past. Yet here you stand as your hear the sound of time ticking around in front of that man... But that's no man. For, his clock stopped ticking when he was just a child. So here lieth a child crying and dying. So then you can ask yourself, is the ticking sound during that fight just the sound of the world around ticking while he is stuck in the past, frozen in time. Or was it his time, stuck since when he was a child, finally starting to tick again after so long? Just as he decided to become a hero. A child turning toward super heroes when in a bad situation is so powerful because it happens. And this child's time starts to tick again as he turns to one of them (The First Warrior Of Light). A time that as it just started to tick again. And you bring an end to the time of a child stuck in time. This is truly a masterpiece, when this is just one of the many different meanings that a sound effect can have in a song. Soken is a fucking legend.

I never thought about the clicking time when listening, it's one of my favorite parts of the piece but it never clicked (hahaha) for me until seeing this

What's even more heartbreaking is the fact that in the games story Crystal Exarch was basically suffering from crystal cancer at this point of the story, and the writer didn't know what Soken was dealing with at the time

Im tearing up right now as I think of the meaning of these lyrics for Soken

@@Mysteryof89 Yeah that's exactly why they hit different now Q_Q

Seriously made me cry

A "fun" thing to note is that the lyrics writer, Koji-Fox, wasn't even aware that Soken was in the hospital at the time. Only Yoshida and the CEO knew. It makes the lyrics hurt threefold now. T_T

@@TwilitFall But the “Riding home” refrain was written early for Who Brings Shadow and the title theme, yeah? Soken would’ve known if he put that in, I feel like...

@@f_mili_r And Azem being the "traitor" only had a stone because of Hades foretelling ability

This song is sung from the ancient's perspective. That just makes it so much worse when you pay attention to the meaning of the lyrics. 4:09 rock of ages is a bible reference, there's quite a few in this ost, means an unfailing source of strength (did a 5 min google search on this so theres a good chance i either barely grasped this or got it completely wrong), "cast the first stone" means being the first to make an accusation. I'm guessing this is when azem was branded a traitor but i could be wrong based on past and possible future updates 4:12 literal and figurative metaphor for being trapped during the final days 4:17 the convocation were constantly at a disagreement with what to do with the final days in full swing, elidibus actually mentions this in his final speech 4:22 acknowledging that they've wasted too much time and now they need to take action 4:27 blindly praying zodiark into existence and putting faith in him without questioning his motives or methods, could also reference to a majority of citizens' absolute trust in the convocation 4:31 the sacrifices iirc but one thing that makes me unsure is "ply the sword" aka "use the sword". We were told that the ancients sacrificed themselves but this sentence suggests that the convocation chose who got sacrificed and who didn't. It could also just mean those who used sacrificed themselves with a figurative sword. Who knows but it still references the sacrifices. 4:36 the legacy and ruins of amaurot left underwater 4:42 their legacy is forgotten by the old sundered souls (created b4 zodiark) and by the new sundered souls (after zodiark) 4:09 to 4:42 tells the story of when convocation decided to create zoroark 5:04 this is all new territory for the convocation so they're blindly wandering hoping they'll make the right decisions. They're also blindly putting faith in zodiark buying into his lies of bringing everything back to how it was previously 5:18 explained in someone's reply 5:24 actually praying and summoning zodiark 5:36 zodiark was summoned last second (not literally but you know what i mean) during the climax of the final days of amaurot, this was their last chance and only (as far as we know) at survival; "no more time to breathe" is possibly about how tense and stressful it was

@@107frenchy I'm not sure the lyric implies the convocation got to chose just we went to our deaths and we didn't know this would lead to death(blindly led like lambs to slaughter)... they probably thought it meant giving up large chunk of creation energy like every other pattern but the Convocation knew as much energy they needed life blood would be the price. The 3 score wasted were the 3 score dead and 10 cast aside were the dissenters that summoned Hydaelyn.. Also 5:04 I interpreted different of AZEM was the compass and being banished pretty much as a traitor he/she couldn't be moral compass anymore to go hey don't just think about the city what about the outside world?

@@107frenchy I would consider "Follow blindly, like lambs to slaughter" and "At the mercy, of those who ply the sword" to be specifically about the ascians blindly relying on the Convocation to solve the Final Days. They are at the mercy of those who act for they have no plan of action themselves.
