#FinalFantasyXIV #Reaction

never in my life have i touched a ff game, but the ost has always been what draws me the most to it. Good video, keep it up!
The singer's name is Amanda Achen. She has become Soken's go to female vocalist, and does the vocals for several songs in 14, as well as one in 16. She's also, from everything I've seen, an absolutely delightful person
Amanda Achen has made me cry with her voice at least 12 times.
This song is the end credits song and sad story cutscene moment song for the Shadowbringers Expansion of FFXIV. Really adds so much gravitas to such moments.
"Tis good to be awake."
Shadowbringers is the absolute best this game gets, it feels like they focused so much harder on the story than any other expansion and the association with that story gives the music tremendous emotional weight. It's great on its own, but I think you have to play through the game to truly understand why people love it
This song always makes me cry
The lyrics are that way because it's written for the main antagonist not the protagonist.
when the crystarium nighttime theme kicks in
ah fuck, with your analysis of the lyrics i finally realized who the singer is speaking to years after finishing this expansions
i was watching the video, listening to the music, think about the game and when it plays, a phrase comes to mind "Remember, Remember us" and i start to cry like a baby.
Heyya ! @AtlasBenighted
Thank you so much for your insights n breakdown to this music piece. It’s one of the best that ever stood out to me in… anything honestly.
It’s a message about moving forward, about being strong and not alone, about the “light lost inside you” and through the darkness, it will always find its way out again.
It’s a piece written for.. us.. the player.. everyone involved and probably generally about how valuable life truly is and standing tall through all of it, letting your soul shine bright enough for everyone to see and follow.
I really believe these devs who’ve worked on this are beautiful souls, and through this music piece, this speaks by lengths n malms in comparison to just words.
Thank you everyone for getting to where you are today, stand proud and tall, and our journey goes on.
Thanks again Atlas, hope someone can also provide more insight as well to mine ahaha.
Have a good one everyone ! 😀
One of the MANY songs in 14 that almost instantly make my eyes tear up lol
Such a beautiful piece, man…
And wherever it plays, emotions and feels usually follow!
ff14 music allways moves me (especialy after knowing the context of it)
this song is used throughout shadowbringers, either for an emotional or happy scene. they play different parts of it rather than the full thing from start to finish such as just the piano section or just the first section
The absolute Angel on Earth that is Amanda Achen, her vocals are literally heavenly.
Amanda Achen is terrific vocalist, she's been on numerous tracks for ffxiv.
(SPOILERS FOR SHADOWBRINGERS BELOW)
As others had probably said, the song itself comes at the end of the base game of this expansion, acting as an epilogue of a sorts. The first line as felt like it was sung from the perspective of settings promary goddess, Hydaelyn, who the MC acts as her primary champion.
The second line, always felt like it was directed at the final antagonist of the base story or to a ally who had been a minor antagonist in a previous expansion (character 2 back story is that he was responsible for the current calamity that MC was cleaning up, where Character 1 is from an organization that instigated the calamity) none of the MC's actions where really that… sinful, while the two others where involved with the ongoing destruction of this realm.
The last section is notable because a lot of characters die, or are lost in the course of the base game. Several allies die, and the last major fight was preceded by character 2 empowering the MC and sacrificing himself to prevent us from becoming a second big calamity, and helping us destroy the final base story antagonist.
Now you HAVE to react to Flow, the singers magnum opus.
Rally great breakdown 🎉
This song will always instantly make me emotional.
From what I believe – whether it was just a theory that resonated with me, or if its actually true, I believe this song is written from the perspective an ally of the Warrior of light to the main protagonist of this expansion. I'm currently playing through this expansion on NG+ and I forgot how much it makes me emotional – the music from this is just incredible.
Probably the best song of the entire game, it means SO much for the player but also our character in the game..truly, truly a beautiful song.
As for where it plays…several really important places of the SHadowbringers expansion.
This song makes me tear up knowing what I know in the story of this game. If you know then you know the moments I'm referring to.
