Since Garlemald is (presumably) very far from the tropics, the moon will never be directly overhead this area, meaning the Tower of Babil could’ve never worked as intended. This is a major plot hole and my immersion in the story is ruined.

But on the world map, the moon is close to the Garlemald xd but yeah it doesn't make sense
Edit: nvm, the final area is also close to Garlemald (with the moon) but it doesn't mean it's above it
This is "Black Steel, Cold Embers"
Wait, what does Garlemald being far from the tropics have to do with the moon's position? If this were a [SPOILER] naturally occurring moon, and assuming that Etheirys has tides, sure it would be inclined towards an equatorial orbit. But considering the moon is only around 13,000 years old, why should we assume it has an equatorial orbit?
From Ask An Astronomer: "It takes less than a billion years for tidal friction to make the orbit of most moons equatorial. If a moon is in an inclined orbit, then astronomers have a puzzle to solve. Either something (like the gravity of another moon) is working to keep the moon's orbit tilted, or maybe the moon was captured recently so tides haven't had time to get it into an equatorial orbit."
Feels peaceful😶🌫
Recent events add a whole new layer to the vibe here.
The moon thing never jumped out to me, but I did spend a good while trying to figure out what latitude Elpis was at based on noticing that it never gets fully dark.
FINALLY one with high quality and no background noise
Is this an orchestrion roll yet?
Per the moon thing, I believe it is to the north, but not super far. It's a fantasy world and quite literally a star, I don't think it follows real world logic
yo what mount is that and where do I get it?
People think this is fantasy. We are basically living how garlemald turned in to in real time in our own world. But God forbid people say it isn't happening (actual war across the pond says otherwise)
the beginning sounds very familiar for some reason, was it based off any old FF soundtrack?
This might be the most beautiful piano track in the game. Is there anything else that has as much depth as this one?
Man I've been waiting for this theme to be available on youtube. I can't wait to play this mysel
Another immersion ruining plot hole in Garlemald is the fact it can rain there. Throughout the MSQ the NPC's speak about how ''cold'' and ''unforgiving'' the snowy wastelands of Garlemald is but if it rains there then the temperature is obviously around freezing at the minimum and not as devilish cold as the story try to make it out to be.
My favorite night theme by far. My god.
Lmaooooo ur description
The day and night theme of garlemald is SO GOOD
If only there was sheet music to this song…
This is just such a beautiful piece of music… The composition, the emotion, the energy, the lore…
more evidence that the babiltower clusterfk was an asspull by the writers and we were robbed of a genuine galyman expac.
varis did nothing wrong
