This video is NOT spoiler-free. Listen/View at your own risk.
FFXIV manages to do it again; To The Edge has skyrocketed to being my favorite Final Fantasy XIV Boss Theme.
This medley combines “Neath Dark Waters,” “To The Edge,” “Shadowbringers,” “Tomorrow and Tomorrow – Reprise,” and “Eternal Wind – Shadowbringers” (including the unnamed track that follows “Eternal Wind – Shadowbringers” in the cutscene it debuts in).
I had planned on getting this video out before 2021, preferably by October, but IRL matters got in the way and those matters became my priorities. So I apologize to the delay for those who were waiting, especially to my friends who agreed to help me out in recording the battle footage.
And to that I say thank you, Tsume, Eru, Saito, Kallen, Syn, along with the players who joined us in Party Finder; I appreciate the help greatly. This is my New Year’s/late Christmas gift to all of you. You guys seriously rock, and I hope you’re all doing well.
As for the video itself, figuring out where to combine certain parts of “To the Edge” was difficult since I’m nowhere near an expert level at editing (or even amateur level), but it surprisingly worked fine and I was even able to use the “We fall”s segment in my previous lyric video for this, making my visions for the video a reality.
Again, I wanted to get the video out sooner since I had planned for this since August, but the official Shadowbringers EP2 and lyrics weren’t released by the FFXIV Community Team and Square Enix until September. For the “Riding Home” segment, I assumed it would’ve been the same verse used in “Shadowbringers,” only to realize it’s slightly tweaked, so I had to rely on the FF Wikia, Genius, and a few other videos to make sure they were all consistent with each other.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the video. Thank you for tuning in. And have a Happy New Year.

You finally posted it. It's Saito btw lol
God, the feels, the FEELS!
Yes. Just. Yes.
Nothing more I can say other than this is pure bliss in the ears.
PS, now that Eden's finally over, think you'll make the epic we talk about last year.
Wishing you well, and happy New Years,
Christian R.
Thank you
you tried ⭐
I shouldnt watch spoiler but this is so WORTH IT
ShadowBringers keeps topping itself, my favorite expansion by FAR. Cannot wait for what's next.
where can I find the theme starting at 21:07
I really didn't know how they could beat the combination of themes that was Shadowbringers, Invincible, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Then they put To The Edge in in order to complete 'Neath Dark Waters. The through-line of music in this expansion has been so perfect, it makes me curious to see how Endwalker will follow off of this…That Soken can consistently deliver time after time is pretty much assured to me. It's…Kind of strange to me that I'm excited for the next stage of a game…Because of the music. The rest is also appealing, of course, but…I don't know, the music really grabs me in this instance.
@22:51– @23:07. I'm gonna need to lie down.
Switching from Normal to Extreme after the QTE was a work of genius.
Thank you for posting a version with the phase transition. Many of the versions that I've found miss out on the transition, and it feels like such a vital part of the music, fading to emptiness, only to come back full strength.
aw yeah, my boy Hythlodeus
9:23 – 9:40
Man.
MAN.
Man, this song hits different after knowing that Soken wrote this while battling cancer in the hospital.
