And the thing, whn you get to that part, it's not a debuff, it's a buff. "To live is to suffer. To drink of calamity. It is a perilous path. Death lurks in the dark. Do not avert your eyes. See your life for what it is. *See how the hardships make you strong. Every doudt reforged as scales for your armor.*"
The best thing about this song is the way they built it into the game. When you first arrive in Ultima Thule, it's just odd echoey chords without much structure, but as you progress further and further into the story of the area (and the last part of the story of the expansion in general) the songs gets more and more structure, then when you get to the point where the lyrics come in, the game has built you up to an emotional climax, and it's almost overwhelming. Absolute genius use of music to convey that.
its arguably the greatest gaming song of all time? just like you said how its built in. and the final scene maybe the most impactful, emotional, and greatest scene a video game has ever created
To say it's almost overwhelming I would say is an understatement. I'm not going to lie, when I heard the lyrics playing through the MSQ in Ultima Thule for the first time, I cried. There were so many emotions stirring I couldn't hold them back. Playing this game for about 6 years, completing a story 10 years in the making, It was hard NOT to cry hearing that song. And it easily ranks as one of my favorite Final Fantasy songs of all time.
This whole track being played over the voices of our past comrades (as the Warrior of Light) as we march up the steps to face Oblivion was probably the most feels moment in Endwalker.
@@DodderingOldMan if you actually played through the whole story over all these years. this is really hard to argue against. Preach played it for only 2 years and he cried on that part. its incredible
What I love about this song is how it nods to past expansions: “Morning rises on a land Reborn from ashes (ARR) ‘Neath the Heavens (Heavensward) To sunset Blood red skies tranquil after the Storm (Stormblood) Blessed Shadow (Shadowbringer)”
The notable part of the song is... the lyrics don't kick in until our nearest friends sacrifice their lives to open up the way forward for us to fight the being that is coming to end all life. (This was the clips at the end.)
Awesome collab too. I really hope Soken and Yoshi P have seen it. Super awesome they got Susan Calloway, Amanda Achen and J'nique Nicole to sing on it as well.
The intro, using the power of music to save the day, reminded me of the mood from the video game "Gitaroo Man" which was a rhythm game where each stage was a different music style, most of the tunes are pretty great. It'd be easy to knee-jerk recommend "Bee Jam Blues" for its funk. Best way to think of it is each song is like a versus jam session between a a guitar and a different opposing instrument each stage. There's even a song "Born to be Bone" where the guitarist spends most of the stage having to defend without his guitar against a team of three percussionists, lots of fun!

If you're an FFXIV player, and someone plays this song, it just turns on the firehose of tears...
It does.....
Forget firehose, i turn into massive crybaby for way to long
Shadowbringers and Endwalker music is made with onions.... change my mind.
Right? Pair it with these particular visuals and bloody hell
Tugs the heartstrings every time
“The sorrow of a thousand, thousand worlds weighs heavy. And yet You can walk on”

I'm not a crier during video games, but damn I was sobbing when I played through this part. The developers of this game are phenomenal.

I'd call it the most feels moment in the history of gaming... or maybe the history of all media. But then, I do really like FFXIV.

That bit broke me. Ardbert's "Let's finish this" just destroyed me.
What I love about this song is how it nods to past expansions:
“Morning rises on a land Reborn from ashes (ARR)
‘Neath the Heavens (Heavensward)
To sunset Blood red skies tranquil after the Storm (Stormblood)
Blessed Shadow (Shadowbringer)”
"If you had the strength to take another step, could you do it?"
The notable part of the song is... the lyrics don't kick in until our nearest friends sacrifice their lives to open up the way forward for us to fight the being that is coming to end all life.

This song hits so many feels lol.... there's a fantastic version of this that's a collaboration of a bunch of fans of the game
Awesome collab too. I really hope Soken and Yoshi P have seen it. Super awesome they got Susan Calloway, Amanda Achen and J'nique Nicole to sing on it as well.
@@chrismcginnis1407Soken did see it and even retweeted it with love. Idk if Yoshi saw it tho
It's insane how many great pieces FFXIV has in it.

wow this song ... there is nothing that beat the story of Final Fantasy 14 a journey of years end with this song made alot of people cry.
Close in the Distance will absolutely always make me cry, forever. Uhg. >< Love this song but my poor eyes.
Honestly the meaning of the song only really impacts you if you've played the game
Man, we FF 14 music fans show up everywhere, and the reactions are always the same: people understand the fanaticism.
i almost scrolled past cause i didnt wanna feel
Yeah, Close in the Distance does that
I loved that they had Zepla Limit Break into the community Chorus part at the end. (limit break being the full 3 bars in the top left)
FF is My game forever....
This intro makes me feel high as fuck.
Still gotta do the "community sings Close in the Distance".... just saying lol
