Okay, yeah, this just confirms it for me that the dungeon for this zone, as well as the zone itself, uses "Fleeting Life"/"Unforgettable Sorrow" from Final Fantasy IX as its basis.
Thank you for uploading this music. It makes me feel peaceful, but also nostalgic and lonely. After releasing Sphene from her spell, the BGM makes me feel more lonely.
This song and place reminds me of venice for some reason (even though ive never been there). Feels like a romantic and apocalyptic landscape with the flooded areas and all đ
When I was playing through this zone, every single time the piano bit came up I would break down and cry. I felt like I flooded with memories over and over again. I couldn't get over what we needed to do to progress. The weight of it all hit me so hard, over and over. I was here for a summer vacation, and instead felt the immeasurable weight of a human life. Hurt so good. Thank you Soken, and CBU3. Dawntrail was so much fun.
I was getting strong Kingdom Heart vibes from this zone and I realize that this theme (and the overall coloring of the zone) was very reminiscent of Twilight Town from Kingdom Hearts 2. The instrumentation selection is especially telling. Given the plot parallels it makes a lot of sense. I was crying the moment I heard this theme and now I know why. Fitting because Sora also cried without knowing why. Masterfully done.
there it was the Golden City of Tural, but when I was there i felt more depressed than i am excited. interacting with the people there seemingly in eternal bliss, how heavy my heart feels when i think about what we were going to do. Final areas in this game always give me this feeling and i just cant get enough of it
Bruh I ugly cried so hard in some of the scenes during this section, especially in the water city. The fact the music turns off altogether for that part of the map after you kill off the terminal really drives home the emotional weight that you're ending what is essentially thousands of lives (even if they were just memories). It was for a short time, but I really loved Sphene, Otis, and the Endless, and I was really hoping there was some way we could save them all somehow.

Brother I am crying so hard

How can Soken make me feel nostalgic for something I havenât even experienced yetâŠ?
Iâm not crying, you are đą

This was the best piece of the expac so far.
HAYNER, PENCE, OLETTE!!!!
You can use the new game+ system if you want to see the city of gold again
Theme's actual name is "Bygone Serenity" for anyone curious! It's also fitting for the zone It's played in imo
certain parts remind me of celes' theme from 6 a lot

Best theme in recent memory. Invokes that feeling of loss and nostalgia
I don't like going back to the final zone because I honestly feel sad in there. But those shared fates ain't gonna compelte themselves lol
FF14 is just magical… I love the combination of oboe, piano and the flute. Just so beautiful and perfect for the location.
Living Memory is the exact opposite of Ultima Thule
I hate it
Classic FF music
one of the most depressing and sad places in the game, its just really sad.
As soon as I heard this theme playing, it felt like I was finding something I'd lost, but never knew I had.

2:33 always gets me đą
Entering the zone my thoughts were "Hey this kind of reminds me of Twilight Town!"
What followed were 5 ugly crying sessions.
This was completely and utterly soul crushing, every second of it.
I loved this song! I was crying whole time, i hope in the future recover the light in the city

This area was really difficult. Not because of the gameplay – it was just very hard to play with tears covering my keyboard.
Depression, the zone.
