FFXIV – Close In The Distance (Ultima Thule Theme) – Endwalker OST



Upon first arriving in Ultima Thule, the theme of this zone builds as you progress through each area, culminating in this mindblowing final version before the very end. I hope you brought a box of tissue along with your standard WoL gear.

  1. Whispers falling silently drift on the wind
    But I hear you
    Our journey, now a memory fading from sight
    But I see you

    Unbroken, promises we made so long ago
    You're still here
    Unspoken requiem for the river of tears

    Flowing, winding, to one eternal sea
    And yet a hope remains
    Guiding, lighting the way
    No time for mourning

    Rises on a mem'ry borne from the ashes
    With the heavens
    True sunset, blood-red skies tranquil after the storm
    Blеssed shadow

    Turning, winding, always night follows day
    The sun will shine again
    Walk on, nеver look back
    Through you we live

    Tales of loss and fire and faith
    Everywhere our hearts and pain
    In the dark you will not stray
    Forge ahead, till the end, we pray

  2. I love the fact that the zone started out with just barely recognizable music, almost ambient distortion, its horrifying and hopeless. And then as you progress through the story, receive their help, the background music gradually changes into something more lively and hopeful. And then before the very end it turns into a song of memories and hope to push you through the final steps. It's symbolic and beautiful, honestly can't ask for more. ;_;

  3. I already cried before I even got to hear the full song. But when I got here and heard the first memory together with this song? I absolutely got crushed. I needed a moment to actually rememember how to breathe again.
