... I feel like this is appropriate music for my last sleep before Endwalker.

[iaminsanity]

Everybody gangsta until the MSQ pulls this out

[shadowdragon]

Imagine how the people who played 1.0 to the end felt logging in or coming to Uldah and were greeted with this playing in the background, I would have freaked out.

[EyeOfLyger]

LYRICS:
To all of my children in whom Life flows abundant
To all of my children to whom Death hath passed his judgement
The soul yearns for honor, and the flesh the hereafter
Look to those who walked before to lead those who walk after

Shining is the Land's light of justice
Ever flows the Land's well of purpose
Walk free, walk free, walk free, believe...
The Land is alive, so believe...

[LightningCayo]

I never got to play the original FF14, but I would imagine how creepy and somber it must have felt to be there knowing there was nothing you could do to stop the end. At least it made way for ARR to pick up the pieces.

[Adramelk]

the only thing missing from this are the humm of the Garlaian ships over head and the constant raging thunderstorm

I'm so new to this game, but it just crushes me. I'm sitting here crying through this song and I'm not even sure why - I haven't even gotten to Shadowbringers yet, where it seems most people really get gut-punched by feels. This song is just... it's like something irreplaceable and precious falls to the bottom of your soul and shatters.

I'll never forget logging in and using my Aetheryte ticket to my GC place, only to be met with Answers. I freaked out and sent a shout asking what was going on. Others were in the same boat, so I didn't feel totally dumb. Thankfully, we got a quick response it was just an event. Sent chills down my spine.

[iaxacs]

During the Rising event you can hear this in Gridania's Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre

[Enderlinkpawnu]

I could only imagine what it must of been like to log into the game to be greeted with darkening skies and this ringing in your ears.

[villaniousmustache]

Still heart breaking. Genuine speaking, this is a tune that sums up a lot of the last 3 years. Nothing but hate and disgust for one another. If anyone is reading this, I beg you, be the change humanity needs. It all starts with asking how someone feels. Because I if we keep going this way, I believe humanity will cause their own calamity at this rate

I never played the 1.0 version, nor even at the time of it knew about the final fantasy's as a whole's existence. But now, after playing FFXIV and loving it and seeing just clips of the 1.0 version, I get chills from this track. I can just imagine myself loging in to the game that faithful day and witnessing the fucking end of the world. And this theme, it's just filled with hopelessness but also acceptence. The world that I would love will cease and it can't be stopped, so you just have to praise the end and hope your end it merciful.

But now, playing through FFXIV, knowing the calamity happened and what it looked like, I'm just grief everyone in the world. I love this game with all my heart, and this history is a one of a kind.

[michaelmosley]

I started playing XIV last year and remember hearing this play in Ul’dah! I never knew the name of the track until now

[bumplebees]

The first time I played the trial in like 2014-15 was during this event, and I remember walking past mih khetto's and hearing this and I was just frozen in place by how haunting and beautiful it was. Though I didn't play after that, I ended up picking up the game in 2016 with friends and have played ever since.

I'll never forget the first moment I played and heard this.

[brianstephenson]

This is one song I'll never forget, or stop enjoying listening to it. Always makes me feel better.

[snailmail]

My first time playing this game back in 2020, and when I heard this I almost wept. Such beauty, such sorrow...The memories of the fallen. We can't...we *won't* forget.

[CyberValeth]

The song hits hard, no matter when you hear it, even moreso with recent personal events and post endwalker. It hits in a different way, and yet even harder.

[JS-zrqs]

I was looking for this kind of extension for years.
Thank you very much for this.

[DeusX]

I heard this and got hella ptsd it definitely hits different watching the giant red meteor fall back then :/

[AccipiterSmith]

When the world is in near end, and as the people settle their differences and join forces in stopping a terrible dark fate, this song will echo into the heavens as tears will flow either in happiness and sadness in their final waking moments...
