  1. I've noticed that each "title track" for FFXIV tends to establish the leitmotifs for that expansion, and the rest of the music will branch off and relate back to it in different ways. It's very, very cool.

  2. Shadowbringers is the Trailer music for the expansion. It is amazing mash up of many different tracks used in Shadowbringers. Such as Emerald Winds, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Who brings Shadows.

  3. You kind of hit the nail on the head there. It is a boss fight, you don't really want to win, but you have to and when it's over, you still feel bad for doing it.

    Soken is a brilliant musician and your reaction is a testament to that.

  4. Technically this is three songs combined into one for the trailer,

    The intro is "Tomorrow and Tomorrow"
    The bulk of it is "Who Brings Shadow"
    The instrumental bit is "Eternal Winds" (theme from Final Fantasy III, and there's a few versions of it in FFXIV)

    This happens with the trailer themes that they blend together several songs or leitmotifs in the trailers. The one for Endwalker blends all the main themes from the previous expansions into one piece.

  5. The trailer themes may feel kind of jumbled as they are mixed with various notable songs from the expansion. It fits better watching with the trailer itself. like this one is a couple different songs combined into one.

  6. Man… if you really dont know the story you got the right path on your deductions, its used trought all the expantion, boss fights, scenarios and the oppening animation. cant really write what happens because of spoilers, but consider reacting to "Answers" and or "Locus" or "Metal – Brute Justice Mode"

  7. This song is 3-piece.
    The beginning is part of another song – Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Middle – is "Who Brings Shadow" and the String part is "Eternal Wind" (an overworld theme from Final Fantasy 3)
    Tomorrow and Tomorrow plays in credits and its version plays in the main city of the story – Crystarium
    Who Brings Shadow – is a theme of the final boss of the expansion (more precisely – his first theme that plays in the first phase – second phase has another awesome song – Invincible – which transforms fight into real epic)
    Eternal Wind plays two-fold. First – Shadowbringers takes a lot of themes from Final Fantasy 3's story (along with very first 24-man raid in FFXIV – the Crystal Tower ) and second – when camera flies around at first it shows place that was initially shown in the original trailers – city known at the time as "Rapture" (name of the tech demo shown in 2005, later supposed to be used as one of main cities in the game before cities were fully redesigned, but initial design remained in the first trailer) – it flies out of the area showing purple trees and entrance to The Crystal Tower (while we know that Crystal Tower doesn't have ANY city adjacent to it – it's located in very inhospitable area and was protected by magical wards, not mentioning that there is not a single purple tree in Eorzea), under alien light-filled skies, it shows different world.

    Shadowbringers Cinematic Trailer is legit one of the most exciting trailers for both newcomers (what the hell is going on there? Can anyone explain it to me? who's this guy? Who's Master Matoya? Who's this guy? Who's this girl? Who is this crystal guy?) and veterans who are getting there (what the hell is going on there? Can anyone explain it to me? Urianger? WHAT, MATOYA? But that's… WTF!? Thancred? WHAT, MINFILIA?! Who is this crystal guy?), but it is confusing in a good, intiguing way.
