One story ends, another begins. Who else is hyped for DAWNTRAIL!? 🤘🤩🤘
Much Hype!
I think this would make the 5 covers right? so does that mean no more FFXIV covers in the future?
big hype😅
On a break from the game personally and don't see myself returning unless the Field operations content in dawntrail is good
I don't even know what to expect since it will be a whole new chapter! But I can't wait to see all the wonders of our realm as Emet Selch bid us!
Great job, my man!
Dude, thank you so much! 🤘 I absolutely loved your performance in the original and it inspired me so much. Was pretty nervous to take it on to be honest, haha.
I'm not crying you're crying...
Fantastic cover my man. This is by far my favorite song from Endwalker. The walk with the twins while this was playing in the background just hit hard.
Thank you.
This song is basically what is in G'raha's heart come about from everything he has witnessed, everything he has seen you accomplish in BOTH TIMELINES. Don't forget, he woke up in a timeline in which we died. He read everything we did, how hard we fought, the fact we pushed through losing our friends one after the other, and at the end we died preventing the 8th calamity from totally destroying everything.
Something that had me replay Shadowbringers 3 times to catch, The 'Exarch' pays attention to Alisaie specifically when she is interacting with you. His head follows her in a way it doesn't for the others. She died protecting the WoL from a fatal blow. She has a crush on the WoL that Krile and Y'shtola both tease her over (so does Ameliance later on if you do her custom deliveries, she blatantly wonders when you will marry her daughter and join the family if you are male...a comment she apparently does not make if you are female). The way it is worded was "The Valorous one dies in their love's arms on the battlefield." Her painting is known as 'the scion of valor' if you didn't do the content to unlock the Scion's paintings.
Im one month away from the one year anniversary of my husband and fellow warrior of light (and darkness) passing away. I played this song for him at his memorial, and everytime I hear it I think of him. I wish this version had existed so he could have heard it before he died. I introduced him to FFXIV in 2017 when we started dating and we played together for our entire relationship, but now I am starting a new journey in Dawntrail without him and I dont really know how to tbh. Thank you for this amazing cover, he would have loved it....
Beautiful story. May he rest easy knowing that you had that beautiful journey together. I think if my husband was to pass I'd play this song too. It's so powerful and meaningful.
I wish you all the best for your future endeavors. May you keep playing on in his honor. ❤
In 2 days it will be the 2 year mark of my best friend passing. He never got to finish Endwalker but this song always reminds me of him and our journeys across Eorzea together and encourages me to carry on and forge ahead. I will miss him in Dawntrail and in life, thank you Skar for delivering another amazing masterpiece.
No matter where you go in Eorzea, he is there with you.
I learned this lesson as I got my parents into EverQuest so long ago and I KNOW they would have loved FF14 had they gotten to try it.
Like the song says, through you, he lives.🤘
My condolences, your best friend will always be remembered .
This is amazing brother-in-axe! What Shadowbringers and Endwalker did to my soul... Forever changed me! I cannot wait for Dawntrail!
Same here brother. Can't wait to start a new story!
I needed this. Close in the Distance was the song I chose to honor my grandfather’s passing, and his legacy. Love you fellow Warrior! -Dark Knight Main.
If you need a push, I'll be right there behind you.
"The sorrow of a thousand thousand worlds weighs heavy. And yet you can walk on." I love this song, thank you!
I love this song so much. The line "the sun will shine again" always make me tear up. Especially with all the depression metaphors in Endwalker. Not many other games have me as emotionally invested as FF14.
the moment when ingame when you realise that the music is a representation of all that was lost, and all you could yet save.
"The Walk" will break down the hardest man. This cover gives me just as many chills as the original. Well done!
How am I meant to type about how epic this is when I'm too busy crying and headbanging.
The first time this song played in the msq I teared up. Now I'm flat out crying. Amazing cover! Ide buy it on the mog station in a heartbeat
Nice, a metal cover! Surely I won't cry this time!
Eyes: Are you sure about that?
Take a look at "stray" from wolfs rain soundtrack, Man.
WE NEED YOU TO COVER A HELLDIVERS 2 SONG ASAP!!!! CODE RED!
helldivers 2 raising the flag song-- easy 1 mil views 😂😂😂
Seriously, I always thought this song kinda had the ringing of a Killswitch Engage song and this cover just supports that feeling, especially the guitar riff on the bridge. Absolutely amazing cover. 100/10
I had the exact same feeling 😅 especially that bridge part sounds very killswitch, especially with the original singers vocals
My personal favorite song from a videogame! Everytime I hear it I get teary eyed, such a great cover man!
Wow…just wow!!!!! I absolutely love this!! You did an amazing job keeping it close to the original as well as adding your own flavor to it! That dual guitar solo just…🤯 blew my mind! Very very well done!!!! 🤩🤘🏻🎸💯
I am super hyped for Dawntrail!! 😊
Man I don't even play FF14, but I still get goosebumps from this song and your Answers cover. Your music kicks ass man!
Frikken wow!! Skar! This is truly beyond amazing. You keep getting better and better and better. And your smile is back! 😄You guys did a fenomenal job! Love it! ♥🎸🤘🔥
I am to serious to smile! x)
@@SkarProductions lol Suuuurrrreee :P
This is...pure gold....I-I just can't 😭😭😭Sooo beautiful!!!!
*volume maxed* *keeps trying to twist it up some more* . This ballad satisfies The 12, the Elder Primals, and my tear ducts. May you walk ever in the light of the Crystal.
You never disappoint Skar. Your love for Eorzea shines in every cover you do. Thank you, fellow Warrior of Light.
Request: Ian & Sophie - We Can Always Be With You (Epic Metal Cover)
Sozen get them in dawntrail!!!! Amazing cover
I've been listening to all your FFXIV covers all morning, So imagine my surprise when you dropped this beautiful cover.
bro you're so gorgeous and your voice too wtffff >////////
Gods damn Skar you did it again! Sitting here with goosebumps! This is probably my favorite song in FF14 and you're doing it such justice dude!!
Don't know the original, but DAMN! This kicks HARD! Love it!
stop cutting onions people. i can't handle it
Holy shit this is amazing! You’ve really out done yourself in this one 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Three covers now, each time I click them, I feel my eyes water up on the very first chords, but this one.... it somehow hits different. It has a rising melody to it that inspires determination, not a slow tune into desolation, but a light at the end of the tunnel. The tears are for a different reason this time - it is literally, like she said, a song of hope, in metal format. I love it, I can't say anything else... I love it....
I have 6 FFXIV covers out ;) glad you like it my friend!
@@SkarProductions Close in the Distance just has a damn good place in my heart, and I love how you changed it, without even the slightest doubt. Between this and Answers, really is hard to decide which one I am gonna have on replay more.
Skar's dedication and passion to make an absolute masterpiece for us every time is why i have subbed and stayed subbed no matter how long between songs. The wait is always worth it. Thank you again Skar
THE best Endwalker cover I've heard, you rock!!
How the fuck is this song so god damn emotional man. Excellent cover.
Thank you for covering FF14 songs, you absolutely do them justice. Amazing job 💪
And my face is one fire.... now, here is the real challenge. Do "God bless the broken road" metal. It doesn't exist...but it should!!!
This song, this game did things to me that made me fall in love with gaming again. The fact that FF14 is an RPG-MMO is incredible - its telling a story that you can experience with friends but because its story focused, you can share the highs and lows with everyone who experiences it for the first time and this song playing when it does in Endwalker is perfect, with all that's been lost, what you could lose should you fail but all that can be saved should you sucssed. Excellent work as always Skar \m/ Forge Ahead
What a fantastic performance! This song brought me to my knees when I played through Endwalker, and your cover made my hair stand on end- it was just SO good.
Much love, and thank you for all your hard work and care for the music of this game!
Man, you put your soul in this song, it's kicking out tears!
Omg I love this cover, just goose bumps. And yes hyped for Dawntrail ... Let's gooo!!
Great cover as always !!
Yep, this song still makes me cry.
I haven't been biased by the game or the original track so I cannot draw comparisons. Liked the vocals and the instrument, it just did not hit my 'metal' chord. Maybe the genre has changed from what defines metal to me.
thanks you so much for made this song, i waited this for so long... thanks you
Such a good cover, too bad its not long enough ;D
you should cover Soul Reaver - Ozar Midrashim ;D
Currently doing the tribe in Ultima Thule and the background music of this song made me wanna listen to this cover again :D
Absolutely phenomenal, you sound really close to the original singer too so it matches your voice so well!! hype for DAWNTRAIL!!
I LOVE the original voice on this. Tbh it was a little effort on this cause I refused to make it less than him lol. Can't beat his vibrato thou
The way it just kicks back in @ 3:16 gives me chills. Like, this is what plays when the scions return for the grand finale. 🍀
hey skar, can you do covers of some of the songs from the alan wake 1 soundtrack? the old gods of asgard songs. the poet and the muse specifically. i love that song.
This is a BEAUTIFUL cover-I just love the fantastic way that you translated those soft vibes into an equally soft but still METAL cover. And those vocals??? The memories all come flooding back..Thank you for this amazing tribute and till we all meet again in Dawntrail!!
I very like original song but yours cover is incredible. I like is you make and you's cover on Anduin theme is a my favorite
Listening to this cover makes me wish I had a cigarette lighter to wave in the air.
So good man nice work now excuse me while I go back and replay FF14 again. Lol
What if All That Remains wrote this song? Sick stuff! \m/
Amazing! Wanna do the song Shadowbringers next?
Man, I just have to say, your taking an already fantastic song, and giving it such an amazing personal touch. Your cover really is amazing. Well done my friend, looking forward to more.
While I hated Endwalker as an expansion, this song is one of my favorites from the series.
Fantastic cover as always, you should do a version to Forged in Crimson!
Goddamn I love this 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
Another absolute banger of a cover, love it!! The way this song fucks me up every time is unreal tho 😭
I am not much of a game music listener, but i love this tune.
These did a great job
More than two years have passed since I experienced this in-game for the first time. And I thought I was used to this song, because it didn't affect me so much anymore. But this made me re-experience all of those feelings as if they were new. Thank you for this excellent piece of work.
YES FINALLY!!!! BEEN WATING FOR YEARS!!! But alot has changed i hear ❤❤❤🤘🤘
Skar, you deserve 100 times the subscribers you have! Such good and creative stuff you've put out.
It hard to believe its been almost a whole year since my subscription ended
yupp, cried again - incredible cover
Bitter taste by billy idol seems like a cover that would be perfect for you
This cover was better then the expansion itself
Id storm the gates of Mordor with you 😎🍻🤘
This song man...
I played through the game twice due to some mistakes I made throughout my first playthrough but THIS SONG stuck with me the most due to the significance it had in the last part of the storyline for endwalker. The song that signifies the end of one story but the beginning of another. Going up that staircase to the final arena...
You guys made a perfect cover. So well done.
Thank you.
Absolutely no criticism, but what kind of mistakes could you possibly make in this game? But I am super happy you like if!
@@SkarProductions I skipped out on a LOT of stuff on my first playthrough. Plus the game is really good, so I didnt mind too much.
niiiiiice :) they should implement this version in the game
That backing scream 🔥
Forge ahead.
Till the end we pray
did you'll put this song on deezer?
Next devil may cry fire inside
Who's cooking with onions?
So cool to see you guys playing in the same space! Definitely adds to the vibe.
Beautiful work dude! Makes me want to like.... go on an adventure :D
Finally! Hopefully we’ll do it more in the future!
FUCK YEAH LET'S GOOOOOO
awesome cover and rendition
Dammit, quit cutting onions!
Was waiting for your heart to connect to this beautiful song, thank you 😢❤
It was connected a long time ago my friend :) just didn’t get it it before now
Here I am! Great Cover my man
Exceptional
god dammit, sand got into my eyes again
Finally!!!!!! Been dying waiting for this song!!! ❤❤❤❤
Hell yeah!!!!!!
This gives me goosebumps daaamnnnn
Excellent :O
Amazing!

Amazing
More ff xiv ❤
The triumphant rising of tone, the powerful guitars along with your vocals, and the raw, pure emotion within the song's lyrics... You never cease to amaze, Skar.❤
I love your cover of this song :D
And I love you for loving it 😁
PTSD of the saddest MSQ moments I've ever experienced in a video game... the song is absolutely perfect but god does it hurt my heart T_T
😎👍wow😊🎧🎼🎶🎵

You are beautiful Faret
Absolutely stunning!🤩Please do more FFXIV songs✨
This is the last one in a little while as I have so many other songs I wanna do next :) But closer to Dawntrail for sure!
