Why do people dislike this Final Fantasy so much!?
This is merely for review, analysis, breakdown and constructive criticism purpose, I do not claim the audiovisual product I reacted to as my own.

The gameplay of the modern ffxiv is pretty good. Its an mmo, there's some standard mmo conventions. The controller controls are actually fantastic, and I play with controller even on pc.
Storywise, people criticize the base game for being boring. Thats probably true for a lot of people, it's slower and more mundane than the storytelling later on, but it really helps establish the world in a way thats important to the setting
If you care to play it and don't want spoilers, but still want to analyze the music, try to find non-video versions.
The lead composer for XIV is known for his leitmotifs, and is an absolute legend.
Ayy love me some FF14 music! I personally love it but I know mmo’s aren’t for everyone!
The story of XIV is probably one of the best I've EVER experienced. It does starts kinda slow in 2.0 but consider that they had to rebuild the game from the grounds up since 1.0 flopped super hard (they managed to turn the game being remade into an actual in-game event while Answers played so it's kinda cool).
It has also one of my favourite MMO systems since you can play with every job (class) on a single character and I'm playing on console, the controller gameplay is made masterfully but I still have a keyboard for chatting.
The story of FF14 is for sure amazing and worth the cost in money and time as it is a story that was built over a literal decade of time another good song to check out is dragon song them if you want to see how much they can vary the music check out scream.
I will try to get into this without spoilers and getting too deep, so some details may be off to people that know, but I figure it would be best to obscure meaning as to not reveal too much.
The male choir at the beginning and throughout represents people who have begun doubting their faith, which is represented by the female lead. Why must we suffer so and continue on when I can barely lift my feet? Well, everyone has a different answer.
"Thy life is a riddle, to bear rapture and sorrow."
It's up to you to find the Answer (heh) to what gives your own life meaning. To quote from the game itself:
"To live is to suffer. To drink of calamity and drown in anguish. To toil and be tested, always and ever.
'Tis a perilous path you walk. Death lurks in the dark, and is the sole promise that awaits at journey's end.
You will tremble with terror. You will weep tears of anger and despair
…but do not avert your eyes. See your life for what it is"
FF 14 is a great game to play, it has a very extensive new player program(U can play it for free up till the 3rd expansion Shadowbringers) and the story is interesting while does take some time to build up its more then is worth it.
Gameplay wise its slower then WoW or some others but its very singleplayer friendly and has a very friendly community.
They had to remake the game becouse the initial FF 14(referred to as 1.0) and they somehow made it(there's a 3 part documentary if u are interested) so to do it storywise they decided to blow up the world, wich is where this song is from as well.
this song hits so hard every time
Would highly recommend FF14. The story, music, and community are top notch. There's a free trial through the base game and first two expansions, so you don't need to commit any money toward it until you're sure it's for you. Even if you don't end up playing, there is a wealth of fantastic music
Tbh it's a pretty horrible game, I used to play it and it's such a shame for the FF franchise, even worse than FFXV. All the interactions are boring and you feel constantly wating time. PASS n' BURN
Btw the music is SO mid
FFXIV: one of the best story of FF, and one of the best antagonists of all time in the latest expansions. And I listen to the OST everyday.
Have you listened to Surrogate Life composed by Daisuke?
