“Farewell, my beloved Alexandria"
As a FF9 fangirl, I cried
As a Final Fantasy IX fanboy this dungeon was everything to me.
And it literally Broke me seeing Alexandria destroyed, again 😢
I... this map is so full of nostalgia as someone who played ff9 as my first ever final fantasy? yep.. definitely a good slap of nostalgia :(
It's a shame the story around the dungeon was so god awful.
@@xalmor6044 agreed
@@xalmor6044 agreed missed opportunity big
So saw the orchestrion drop from this dungeon last night on a roulette and its called "A Trail Unending". So for anyone who was wanting the name hope this helps.
I was so lucky to get the song from this dungeon on my first clear with the Trust
I fell in love with the coolness of the nameless soldier who risked his life for Sphene in the second area. Even now, that scene, combined with the BGM, still stimulates my lachrymal glands.
I love that while royalty usually is safe in the castle, Sphere was out there in the midst of the danger saving every person she could find
The queen that was a martyr for her people, and the whole realm working to bring her back. In some ways Sphene’s story parallels the Warrior of Light’s death during the eighth umbral calamity that G’raha Tia worked so hard to undo
I am of the same mindset when it comes to this and I feel that it isn't just a coincidence. I am very excited with the future of the story.
its what he brings up in the Gondola. He sympathizes with her because he did very much whatever he could to bring one person back.
He seemed to be morally the most torn on ending the Endless
That… makes me even more interested in the 7.3 trial thinking on considering we still don’t know why the Key reacted to the Crystal of Azem. Whether or not it copied the magicks or some such is still left purposely a mystery for now…
My initial reaction to hearing that the Kingdom that appeared was called Alexandria was something along the lines of, "They're really teasing the IX fanbase."
Then when they force you to look over the ruins, it took me a second for it to click, but when it did, It was a very sad "Oh."
this is the pick-up you need from the heartbreak of Living Memory. It even starts with the same theme but slowly pumps up and then finally unleashes the most uplifing musical part of the whole expansion. you're being comforted before told "let's say goodbye and finish this", as though all the voices of encouragement in ultima thule were orchestrated
This song is so beautiful and never fails to bring me to tears. This whole experience got me good. Thank you, Soken.
1:42 - 2:30 Thats the part that fucking gets me
Saaaaaaaame! 😭
That's the moment when Soken's piano started to burst in flames
same. I'm not sure what kind of emotion it evokes. Like a mix of hope but also goodbye
It reminds me so much of themes from Fire Emblem: Three Houses
It's hard to go through a day without listening, feeling sad when listened to for a day.
The way it ramps up gives big Fire Emblem and makes me feel just as emotional. I dare say this song is just as good as “Something to protect” but modern
i love their story telling format where they give final dungeon before the final Trial full of emotion. this gives me feeling as Amaurot and The Dead Ends.
Ear drums ringing, my tear drops are singing. /cry
100% one of the best banger Soken blessed us with. I didn't even play FFIX and it still somehow made me nostalgic ! Impressive dungeon, impressive music
Why does this song still make me tear up T_T
This literally topped Pharos Sirius for me as my favorite dungeon ever.
This piece feels like fire emblem to me in the best way. Absolutely obsessed. Working on my own piano arrangement of it currently.
It feel like a xenoblade chronicles track to me and I can't get it out of my head.
The transitions with the music 😍
The place ill return to someday..
Every single dungeon, trial(not you zoraal ja) and raid theme this expansion so far have been perfection. Now if only the dawntrail motif wasnt used so frequently this expansion cause the part they use is SUPER NOTICABLE every time
I think this is a strong hint that ff9 remake is indeed in the works and the rumours are true, given the amount of fan service ff9 had this expansion. Not just this dungeon but one of the endgame dungeons also. Plus the preorder bonus items as well. I think they are trying to get more people who never played ff9 on the hype train for it, and this is one of the best ways they could have done it.
I'm reminded of Hollow Bastion music in Kingdom Hearts
The memories all over again… 😢
So this is where those FFIX remake rumors are all coming from...
Not quiet
Hopefully this is just the beginning
Well, no. Sadly.
Nope, the leak came from an Nvidia leak which leaked many games not only from Square Enix including Kingdom Hearts 4 before it was announced. The Epic Games store also had an update recently that accidentally leaked a preorder bonus for Tetra master cards and a dagger set which isn't in the original FF9, so a remake is basically confirmed. Dawntrail is just another love letter to FF9, there's been a lot recently. Steiner and Vivi were in the Chocobo racing game along with an Alexandria stage, they announced a Final Fantasy 9 Animated Series which we have not received a trailer for yet, and Cloud and Tifa got FF9 costumes in Ever Crisis. I feel like there's more FF9 stuff that's happened recently, but yeah buckle up an FF9 remake is definitely on the way.
Poor Sphene 😢
I could have saved her! 😭 if she’d just tell me! Lol
@@TacoLex let's go back in time and save them from their calamities, deal?
Alexandria housing area when :)
Hopefully we get to see Burmecia also
Cleyra, Lindblum, Conde Petie, the Iifa Tree. Having NPCs confirming their existence was great
I had chills when I first saw this dungeon. The FF9 fangirl in me was all "No way. There's no way they did this... this is awesome! But also so sad" a complete emotional mess lmao. I couldn't even properly play my first run, I could only worry about group posing everywhere haha
Absolutely, love the new dungeons in general !
I don’t why know but this invokes a Zanarkland feeling from me.
Despite being named Alexandria, it is definitely more of a Zanarkand reference.
I dint't expect the second part of the dungeon to hit emotionally so hard
It especially hit hard when you see the absolute senseless devastation 😭
"Much about the key remains shrouded in mystery...." "I will be the next dawn servant, and I will protect my people til the last!" Man, this song is SO good, I got goosebumps when I loaded into the dungeon and heard it, I'd been waiting for it to show up.
When the guard said "May we meet again princess" . But you know they wont. 😢 Every time it gets me lol😂
Maybe not in this life. Perhaps in another one.
Can't wait to hear a Distant Worlds rendition of this one someday
As an FFIX fanboy, it truly saddened me to see what came of Alexandria. Assuming this is the world of Gaia many years in the future from when IX took place, and Sphene is Garnet's descendant, it's not the happy ending I was expecting.
Garnet would surely know how to educate her children and other descendants better than this. I'd much rather take the whole Alexandria drama in XIV for what it truly is - not canon (in FF9)
It's probably just one out of many possible realities.
Every expansion should be like implementing the original games in the story. Last zone saved this. We will always remember you princess.
If I smile, it is because you all smile for me 😢
Best song of the DLC, thanks for uploading
Second the thought that this is the best song of this OST.
Soken is a wonderful composer, and his themes can be epic and sweeping. I love his work with 14 and 16. What he lacks in comparison to Uematsu is making the music feel "personal", to convey not just the grandiosity of the piece but the personal connection with the player. This piece breaks this mold, by directly conveying emotion through the crescendo. This, this was the point where I was crying ugly tears this one time on this expansion, and the music paired with the familiar yet unfamiliar Alexandria is the reason. Wonderful job, and I hope he continues on like this to become a true successor to Nobuo!
Totally agree.
oh great, another nobody appreciates me. -Soken
Honestly I think there's way more personal songs he's done I think you just happen to be connected to this one
This is not a joke before we knew her name a friend and i nicknamed Sphene: Garnet or Dagger 😢
If you start the fight witht he second pack of mobs when the beat drops = DPS good
If not = DPS bad
A gentleman's DPS meter.
1:44
excuse me. WHY THE F*CK DO I FIND OUT THERE'S ALEXANDRIA IN FFXIV ONLY NOW?!
Me:i wonder which ffix elements DT will add me
DT: remember this place
Me: Yes :D
DT: NOW SEE ME DESTROY IT
ME : D':
thank god Puck wasnt there..
I honestly thought we could've save Sphene with Dynamis. I thought it was an alternative energy source outside of aether that they could use. And its more abundant than aether since the aether was near life while dynamis was all over.
I think it mention that it need life force to sustain them, normal aether won't work. SO Dynamis which is energy of emotion while can influence the life itself, it's not exactly a life force so I don't think it'd work. But that's just me.
It's a form of energy only Meteion could use anytime she wanted. The WoL can only use it during Limit Break 3. Other than that, there has been no instance of use using Dynamis or manipulating it by simple will.
If they let us go back in time and save Sphene’s civilization with Wuk Lamat I’d actually love Dawntrail’s setup.
homestuck...
Derse and prospit ass expansion
Man the thumbnail on itself is a massive spoiler.
I was suggested this and had not reached it myself, way to ruin the expansion for me.
spoilers yo
stop
Get off the internet then. It's been a week, and half of the player base is already done with the expansion. If you cared about not being spoiled, you'd eliminate the areas where you could potentially be spoiled. Content creators are not restricted because of people's inability to abstain from information
@@epiccaliburist9431 "It's been a week, and half of the player base is already done with the expansion" is just straight up false. At least from checking statistic websites, only 7% of all players have the achievement "In the Glow of a New Dawn" which is what you get for completing MSQ.
@@epiccaliburist9431 its been day, its been a hour. Just spoil it yeah.
@curemoonlight4509 honestly, yeah, lol again, people have the ability to stay away from information they don't want to see or even not to look so intenty when it pops up in their feed. No one needs CZcams, Reddit, etc. If you don't want to be spoiled, then stay off the internet. It baffles me that people can't control themselves and get mad at people sharing things that, quite frankly, they have every right to share. I got through DT with no spoilers because I didn't spend all my time on CZcams/reddit tempting the algorithm to give me something I didn't want to see. It's my sincerest hope that the social justice warriors coming to the comments get spoiled in shout chat lol
This is where soken shines not the crappy rock and pop music..
He can do both really well, and that's what makes him such a stellar composer.
@@riningearSoken’s got range for sure. The man’s a treasure.
@@riningear but this is really his forte fantasy orchestral and that sweet sweet nighttime piano
His rock music is likes Friday night pub level nothing amazing.
@@leighg9o Disagree, he's definitely noticeably better at orchestral stuff but not that significantly, FF14 has such a unique soundtrack BECAUSE Soken (and his team, don't forget, it's not just him who composes, idk if this song is even him tbh) is always consistently atleast good at pretty much any genre they try, and they're not afraid of trying it. It's just a bit reductive to pin it all on 1 guy and say that he's bad at song genres that you're probably just not a fan of. Personal preference =/= objective quality.
