Another motif-focused compilation that I spent many pointless hours working to create! This time it’s in honor of the Ancients/Ascians. Now we may look, learn, and remember.
None of the music belongs to me, of course.

Did I try too hard with the thumbnail? Yes. But Emet-Selch is too pretty, I had to. The songs aren’t edited like they are in my other mix, I didn’t even crop most of them. And, rather than trying to mess with short clips to make them stretch out, I just recorded looping animations in five-minute chunks. The video mostly matches the music, although Without Shadow probably seems the most random. Themis is cute idk.
I considered arranging this playlist to be consistent according to character and melodic reference, but thought it flowed better to begin soft and work up into the boss themes. Plus, hearing a brick wall of Amaurot music got a little tiresome. The odd song out, so to speak, is Paradisaical Predicaments, but I can’t help but associate that song with Emet-Selch. Besides, the vocals sound pretty similar to Without Shadow.
And, yes, Who Brings Shadow is more accurately Hades’ song, BUT I like Shadowbringers a lot more. Bite me.
