Such a gut-wrenching song and zone. It is easily my favorite sentimental track from Dawntrail. I hope my arrangement and playing did it justice. 🙂

I’m performing at GATEway FATE in St. Louis on October 12-13! https://gatewayfate.carrd.co/

  12. I've been waiting for so long for this one! I expected you to arrange this one perfectly, and what I got are tears in the end from the wonderful arrangement and playing 🥲. I can't wait to learn this one on my guitar once life forgives me from real life responsibilities and mount farm wings drop…

  19. Here it is!! Oh gods.. this is just so amazing, as promised. Was worth the wait. You made me cry again. Something about the last zones in the game ALWAYS make me cry. Also, I saw you play Bard, so do I! (Though I do try out all the jobs, but my main is typically bard/dancer or red mage. What do you think of the artifact guitar bow that bards get when they hit 99 for this new expac? xD. I am mixed about it, tbh ^^:

  20. Never thought I'd feel nostalgia for Las Vegas. I was just there earlier in the year for the first time. The final zone was a surreal experience recognizing a lot of the direct references and having to say goodbye. I could see myself there again.

    I was moved to tears when I remembered the events in the area of ​​this song.
    If possible, I would like you to arrange "A Trail Unending" as well.

  27. One of the things that struck me the most about this track when it first started playing was how nostalgic it felt despite having never heard it before. It has the same flavour as the soundtracks of older movies I watched as a kid, but there's this bittersweet undertone that carries through it, like a lullaby for the dead: loving and melancholy. Soken has an incredible gift for conveying emotion through melody alone and this is an amazing rendition of it. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

  28. My feels… If there's one thing you can count on FFXIV to do, it's to absolutely wreck you emotionally… Shadowbringers, Endwalker & Dawntrail last zones destroyed me, all 3 of them. As did Elpis in EW too… 😢
