Hello there! This is my original acapella arrangement of “Locus” (aka one of the Alexander boss themes) from FFXIV! Vocals by me (Teza Belmond)! With this being a very technology-based theme, it was fun to try and convert it into something exclusively vocal. Fun fact: The percussion was made by me slapping my computer’s shell (perhaps not the best idea, but thematic) and a little egg shaker I had around. And then I drew my and my sweetheart’s characters for the glowstick dancers! Originally the plan was to actually do that glowstick dancing in-game, but uh, well. We can’t get in LOL B) Regardless of all other things, I hope you enjoy this acapella! It took me quite some time, and I’m super excited to finally release it to you 😀 First half has the main vocals, second half showcases just the “instrumental”!

This is my favorite song from 14. No matter how this song is covered it's always amazing. Glad to see an Acapella cover!
You're not Alexander
I haven't played FF14, and I'm not really familiar with Final Fantasy as a whole, but Alexander had always been one of my favorite summons. The idea of a "giant f*ck-off living fortress" being called into a battle is awesome to me.
You did an amazing job of capturing the feeling that this song portrays. A machine, powerful, divine, but still running on gears and switches. This may be my new favorite cover!
Upon subsequent watches, I noticed the disconnect message, lmao
Wonderful cover as always!
This is my favourite version of this song now <3 A great soundtrack to create worlds to.
This is the bessssst
This is beautiful – I’m awed.
I can’t imagine what it would take to do this for eScape, but would love to hear it
This sounds etherial. Heavenly. Breathtaking. I'm speechless…
And with one of my favourites from FFXIV too. I'm incredibly grateful this now exists!
Oh man, the segment from Brute Justice’s theme. I got chills!
That was great!
wow this is good
O_O
Amazing
This is incredible! As a personal note, I really enjoyed how the lyrics were easy to understand this way
