"To the memories of better days, I bid farewell." 💜💜💜

[LenzTL]

Can’t help but break into a big smile whenever I hear Sphene say “If I smile, it’s because you all smile for me”

[Tezasaurus]

Pretty wild that even after 10 years, they can still put out music that you can reasonably argue is the best they've ever done.

As a Final Fantasy IX fanboy this dungeon was everything to me.

[bainbonic]

FFIX was the first game I bought with my own money as a child, and it holds a special place in my heart. It ignited my lifelong love of the fantasy genre, it shaped my taste in media, it even led me into my current career in the long run. Even after all the FFIX references and revisions up to this point, seeing Alexandria Castle in all its glory appear on the Duty screen like this just hit so different. FFXIV is a celebration of the series in every sense of the word, constantly taking its favourite parts of the entire series and reshaping them into fitting into the same canon so naturally. This game is as special to me as IX was when I played through it for the first time as a child.

[JezzaWezza]

So saw the orchestrion drop from this dungeon last night on a roulette and its called "A Trail Unending". So for anyone who was wanting the name hope this helps.

1:42 - 2:30 Thats the part that fucking gets me

[whatapp-wq]

“Farewell, my beloved Alexandria"

[xKazuto]

i love their story telling format where they give final dungeon before the final Trial full of emotion. this gives me feeling as Amaurot and The Dead Ends.

[Slimetendo_Hub]

My initial reaction to hearing that the Kingdom that appeared was called Alexandria was something along the lines of, "They're really teasing the IX fanbase."
Then when they force you to look over the ruins, it took me a second for it to click, but when it did, It was a very sad "Oh."

[TkT-wbpq]

I fell in love with the coolness of the nameless soldier who risked his life for Sphene in the second area. Even now, that scene, combined with the BGM, still stimulates my lachrymal glands.

[MAX]

this is the pick-up you need from the heartbreak of Living Memory. It even starts with the same theme but slowly pumps up and then finally unleashes the most uplifing musical part of the whole expansion. you're being comforted before told "let's say goodbye and finish this", as though all the voices of encouragement in ultima thule were orchestrated

[amsaa]

The queen that was a martyr for her people, and the whole realm working to bring her back. In some ways Sphene’s story parallels the Warrior of Light’s death during the eighth umbral calamity that G’raha Tia worked so hard to undo

[ramza]

This song is so beautiful and never fails to bring me to tears. This whole experience got me good. Thank you, Soken.

[alunalalune]

There is just soooo much combined emotion in this music as it pairs with the story. Triumph, Sacrifice, hope, sadness, nostalgia. This is one of my FAVORITE tracks of the entire game and seems every expansion I get one more to add to my heart.
"To the memories of better days, I bid farewell.~"

[SethValentine]

This song, this dungeon... they really pulled at my heartstrings with this one.

I have never felt more of a "Lets finish this" theme in FFXIV than this.

[JustNoko]

100% one of the best banger Soken blessed us with. I didn't even play FFIX and it still somehow made me nostalgic ! Impressive dungeon, impressive music <3

[narius_jaden]

FFXIV has been my favorite FF in the series since i started back on the nes/snes and a lot of that is because they pay such beautiful homage to older games while also bringing up amazing new og stories and music. This expansion was yet another fine addition imho (don't care about the hate thrown around, what we like is subjective!).

[klerrelk]

It's hard to go through a day without listening, feeling sad when listened to for a day.

[cymantics]

This piece feels like fire emblem to me in the best way. Absolutely obsessed. Working on my own piano arrangement of it currently.
