The reason why merges need to happen for a full version is because the in-game files are quite silly.
– The in-game version of Smile is 5 minutes long and has a long intro
– There is a cropped version of Smile spanning from ~4:00 of this version to the end
– The credits version omits some parts of the beginning
This version merges first two files seamlessly (as best as I could) to create the genuine, full version of the theme.

Ayyy, thanks for this! I've been looking for the full version since I first heard it in the cutscene 😀
Such a hopeful and wholesome song, they did an amazing job imo.
Insane that people don’t like this song. Not as emotional as Flow or Tomorrow and Tomorrow or Dragonsong, but it’s very fitting for the expansion.
This slaps. Motivational AF. Perfect song for this expansion.
I absolutely love this song! I can't wait until we get the official lyrics lol
Thank you, it was annoying how other uploads cut off when there's clearly another buildup at the end
Song's good and all, but wow the MSQ sucked this time around. To the point where when this played I felt nothing but apathy toward the game. It's actually impressive.
Thanks for the upload! Imo not being a hater but this is my least favourite FFXIV track to date. The singer sounds out of tune half the time like she can't keep up with the pitch of the song.
Again most of the soundtrack in FFXIV is great including in this expansion, but this track is a miss for me.
the autocaptions are on some of that new electrope
I just can't bring myself to like this song sadly. I've come around to every part of it, but the lead singer's voice sounds so whiny it just makes me want to turn it off every time. I really loved when she did Scream, so it's a surprise they went this direction with her voice. Sadly this is probably my least favourite ffxiv track so far cause of that, the only miss in the entire score in my eyes.
I want people to understand. This is ESSENTIALLY, ARR. the story ended after endwalker and now were onto another 10 year arc. And this is the beginning of it. There has to he setup and new character intorductions for the future. The first half was boring sure, but the 2nd half was great!
Man this song is so wholesome, and got such Disney vibes, and it reminded me a little of Lion King 😀 idk how to explain it but damn this song is wonderful!
As much as I laughed whenever this popped off during the MSQ, it's still a great song
