I’m extremely excited for the launch of Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail. This series is my home, and I can never get enough of it. Let’s react to and talk about the feelings evoked by the music in both of these amazing trailers!

I'm just going to take this video as a birthday present to me, thank you for posting it on my birthday. 😉
ALL THE DAWNTRAIL HYPE I cannot wait! It's a totally different vibe than even with Endwalker. I love it, and I am so so so psyched. And I appreciate this breakdown of the theme – of course it's gotten flack because it's not BIG EPIC, it's 'pop,' it's upbeat, etc. But the lightness of all of it – not just genre, but like you were noting with the jumping/bouncing notes that give it the playful feel, everything primarily in a major key, nice bright instruments – the song just exuuuuudes an overwhelming feeling of happy and excitement and anticipation.
Are you going for a new job?? 😀
From the ashes we're REBORN
To the HEAVENS as we ride
Fighting through the STORM
Leaving our SHADOWS far behind
As we walk right to the END-
All of the previous DLCs haha
I've been playing through the game a second time with some friends that I got into the game, and since I've been tanking for them, it's given me the push I needed to finish levelling Gunbreaker to 90 on my main character as my first max level tank. Looking forward to seeing what new mechanics they put into the fights in Dawntrail!
The vibe I get all throughout is obviously "summer vacation," but it's further broken up into different expressions of a vacation. You've got the Open Sky segments that sound an awful lot like a bunch of rowdy drunken folks shout-singing, you've got the fiery and festive flamenco dancing portion (love how that's the expansion's standard world battle music, BTW), and you've got that skipping glee during Amanda's section. Yet sprinkled around it is that little wisp of danger, but it's not a threat so much as an eager challenge to take on.
A lot of Stargate vibes with this solution 9 and Golden city
lets go Marco!
hope to see some streams from you after the main hype wave moves on.
Both on picture of one of locations there was buildings from FF9 and in trailer on background of fight with Eliminator there's presumably Castle of Alexandria
Might the last Zone be something like the "Cyberspace", the bunker where the potatos run in?
Your genuine excitement towards the new expansion is incredibly wholesome. There's just something about FFXIV that feels like coming home after a long day or hugging an old friend you haven't seen in awhile, and I am incredibly excited for Dawntrail. I hope you have a lot of fun too!
The entire expansion seems like a big filler episode for me, zero excitement. First one I'm not playing since the very beginning.
You need to listen to bleach and its amazing osts
There's already some awesome music released from the media tour. They are soo good!
I just saw and recognized you. why are you doing last war ads on tt? you're above that.
I would love to see you react to ying yang from persona 4 the animation cause I have seen absolutely no one react to it
Whatever that final music piece is is so emotionally impactful, its got so much power and emotion behind it I NEED to know where it is
You could almost say this game is your Holmgang 😉
The DT music evokes FFIX vibes
Something that might be of particular interest to you is the launch trailer uses the melody from the opera scene in ff6.
oh man I'm so hyped for dawntrail, sadly I only get to play it for 10 days so I'll have to make sure to binge the story in that time lmao
WOL vs Weak ass threats lol
Summer vacation indeed.
Ready to cry with you once again Marcolini
do dead cells soundtracks
Something i didn't see you catch, Valigarmanda is bound in ice just like its initial appearance in the Narshe Mines in ff6
not sure why but the shouted bit at the end gives me drinking or football song vibes?
One thing I also love is when at the end the music loops back to part 1 It is as if the main cast has still ONLY been listening to that part while we as the player has had this vision of the future to come. A lot of this trailer is about how the cast experiences what is around them at the moment, As if this is unexplored territory they have yet to see.
While the other expansion trailers are more about them already BEING or Having been at the destination and the music is telling the tale.
Basically in the old trailers the characters are showing us the players what we're going to experience.
But in this new trailer we're all experiening what is to come together.
!SPOILER!
It really plays into the whole Azem traveller vibe too. He's doing exactly what Emet wanted him to do, explore.
