A Moment of Eternity (Ending Theme) DIRECT RIP EDIT - Xenoblade 2 - Torna: The Golden Country

(No, this legitimately isn't a Silvagunner parody)
If you've seen the credits of Torna, you'll know that during them, the music will get a bit quieter in the middle to make room for a cutscene. Well, it turns out the actual version of the song in the game's files has that dip built into it, so I took it upon myself to try and remove it!

a moment of eternity ... one could say ... an endless now?

[spiderdude]

The name of this song is "moment of eternity"

It's sung from loras perspective to jin.

500 years later, one of jins arts is called "empty moment"

bad man..

I played this song at my mother's funeral and the people who put it together played it at the end before everyone left to go to the cemetery. I got so many people complementing me on my song choice. Now this song holds even more meaning than it did before.

[cephalonblue]

Honestly, no other game I’ve played had multiple moments where I’ve broken down and cried like XC2. And this is among the few games where I’ve felt emotion towards the villains.

Spoilers:

Lora was Jin’s everything. Her death left him lost, and broken. He wandered for years, seeking a place to belong, but he couldn’t find it. He couldn’t live without her, but he couldn’t die because he promised to keep her memory alive.

He grew to despise the world, for it was brutal, and unforgiving. Evil lurked in the hearts of man, which he saw plainly as they used blades as tools, and killed one another everywhere. He made many terrible choices, destroyed many innocent lives, because he saw only the darkness in humanity’s heart, and wished to be rid of it.

But as he fought with Rex that final time, he was made to realize there is still hope. He was able to forgive the world for his great loss, and chose to finish what they had started all those years ago; Stopping Malos. He was able to find his peace, knowing that others would remember his story.

What a splendid soul you were, Jin.

Also this song is definitely sung from Lora's perspective to Jin at the end of the game. This makes it 100% sadder

[Mavable]

This song’s name and message hit differently after XC3.

[GarrisonBurrows]

In the course of a lifetime, a man will see uncountable meetings and partings. Yet as your life's candle sputters and dies, whose face is it that rises to greet you? Happy is the man that can sleep in the comfort of the smile he sees then.

No, I don't wish for "forever." Even for just one moment, it's enough if it's with her. And yet what is the man to do that has not been afforded that chance?

The road stretches on without end. I can not but walk down it. As long as I keep walking, I can hold that hope that one day, the time may come when I see her smile again. That hope keeps me afloat.

[requiemgrandproductions]

"I don't wish for forever. Even just for one moment, it's enough if it's with her."

-Jin

Lora: Reach out for someone and you will be fine
Jin reached out for Malos. Big oof right there

[doragon_central]

All the Xenoblade games end With a beautiful Song... I'm glad Torna keeps that tradition

[magicdreemurr]

The ending of the song could just as easily represent Addam talking to Mythra, considering the fact that Mythra needed Rex's support to move on from the past and stop fearing her power.

[gustavo]

You see, Malos stated that words were powerful, and Lora ultimately condemned Jin to a life of solitude when she accepted his proposal to become a flesh eater. This song, however, expresses her true feelings. Pay attention to the lyrics. She basically begs him to remember all the good moments they shared, while also walking his path until he finds someone to fill the gap in his heart. Lora never wanted Jin to live in the past, all she wanted was him to grow, while keeping her close to his heart. "Don't forget... don't look back...". I hope he realized that on his last moments, since he had such a beautiful and content smile. Honestly, this dlc really accomplished the mission to give Jin one of the most deep stories of all the cast.

Wind goes passing by
Through the sunset sky
This wind will carry lots of memories
When you'll look around
You won't see me anywhere
But you will feel in the air that I am there

For a time, I will be away
With the wind gusting along
I'll just say it won't be too long
Soon enough we will meet one day

Sentimentally, the time will pass us by
And all we shared was a moment, I know
But that moment will shine us through to the sky
So don't look back, let the moment be forever

Speed of time was different for us
Not to say that was all bad
Nonetheless those moments we've treasured
Will be carved into stone eternally

So please never forget
All the precious time we shared
The warmth of your hands
Don't forget, don't look back, I'll be there

Promise me that you'll walk again
Won't you show me that smile?
And I know, you will find that someone
Who will help you move on

Since that day you came and took my hand
Our story began
So don't be scared to reach out for someone
I know you will be fine,
Just go on

I love the bit of Jin's theme at 3:24

[johnw]

I think the theme of this song gives real closure to TTGC. The game itself is a very sad story, but the credits let the player reflect on the storyline importance of the game they just played, while heeding to the introduction of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Makes me wonder what impact they would have on a player going through TTGC first.

[Typi]

This entire song was foreshadowing all along.

[pneuma]

Anybody cry especially to this ending? Rex showing up at the end made it hit even harder for me.

[angrypepe]

Why is this game so damn depressing my heart can't take it

[oux]

I just broke with my girlfriend, we had good moment but we had to part ways for our own good. I will always be grateful for everything, but I wish to have one last moment with her.
