Who would’ve thought that one simple development screenshot could provide so much inspiration? Today I present to you my grandiose arrangement of “The Grand Duchy of Jeuno” from FFXI! As Jeuno has now been confirmed as the setting for the first Echoes of Vana’diel raid in Dawntrail, I thought it would be a fun idea to rearrange the iconic Jeuno theme into more of a raid-like rendition. I was going for something that sounded both like a celebratory return to Vana’diel and also being something that would get you hyped up when fighting monsters! Hopefully I was able to achieve that! Thank you very much for listening, and I hope you enjoy!

Indeed.
This is wonderfully done. You did an excellent job of capturing something that sounds both like a celebration and something that'd prep you for the fight(s) to come. I hope Soken takes a similar approach when re-imagining it!
Stop hitting me with that FFXI nostalgia.
I mentioned it already on Reddit, but out the gate I’m choked up from how good this sounds 🥹💕
This sounds very good, I hope they do have arrangements and don't just slap the originals in like they did with the Ivalice raids.
Omg this sounds like Jeuno ffxivified!! Fantastic!
This is too good for YT and needs to be on AM & Spotify!
God. This is good. I don't necessarily think we'll hear this during the dungeon because I think that's gonna be like super fucked up and shit. But great job on this nonetheless!
