The fact that the fabled City of Gold, a utopia land of eternal life and beauty, is hidden behind a mass grave of children conceived to save their civilization is so profoundly upsetting
It's as upsetting as it is thematically fitting, given how utopias tend to be in this game.
Well… SPOILERS…..
That “utopia” was just another mass grave…
I will never forget sending my FFXIV buddies one simple DM:
"I was not prepared for the dead baby cave."
Dead baby jail*
It is rather typical FFXIV to just suddenly dump "Dead Baby Cave" on the players. Though that doesn't make it hit any less harder.
i like to call it the DBD, Dead Baby Dungeon
When i went to the new world I didn't expect to be hit with the themes of eugenics, genocide, and euthanasia.
"What an expac, huh?"
"Captain, it's only the level 95 dungeon"
I was the very same. The music, the final boss of the dungeon and the visuals.... i was like: "BRUH this is like.... halfway!? What the fuck is going on in this expansion!! This is AWSOME
I just love how I was like "Damn that was a cute expansion, I enjoyed it" and then "Oh wait this is only Zone 3"
@@cherrydragon3120 This track really does have that "final dungeon" feel.
@@BunnychanFarabeeyeah it kinda does, I guess it is the final dungeon for the first arc in Dawntrail too
But...we are almost done with the rite of succession, and we found the golden city.
Starts as a dungeon theme
Becomes a defining moment theme.
This one's official name is "Lost in the Deep". It's an amazing piece of music given what we know about the place.
Spoiler:
the dead babies song. explains why it sounds so sad.
I need this Orchestra 📜 in game.
It drops from the dungeon itself afaik
"Lost In The Deep"
IS THIS WHY I'M HEARING SAVATHÛN'S SONG HIDDEN IN HERE?!
ty for the title, time to farm that dungeon so i can now cry in my house... fc house.. appartment.. inn.. EVERWHERE!!!
This part was pretty heavy in the story, up until this point it was all Wuk shenanigans and then they pull a heavy gut punch with just how bad things have been for the mamool ja people. When you see all those canisters in the opening cinematic and that haunting melody hits, this place sticks with you, long after it's over.
Not to mentione that the dungeon itself is fucking beautifull too. The empty, haunting halls of forgotten ruins. The entrance area to the golden City. Its such a damn good duty. By far one of my favorites in the game
It makes me so nauseous and heartbroken every time I run this dungeon 😭 it’s awful what the Mamool Ja had to go through, and it feels so solemn. I suppose that’s the intent, but damn 😢
I was so glad I chose to do this with NPCs the first time because my eyes watered so much in the first part that I couldn't see properly
@@miss_kas I ran it with friends the first time and we all just kinda stopped and gasped at the same time 😭 I knew it was a tomb but the amount of urns and the realization was heavy
I think the song that plays here is one of my personal favorites from the expansion so far. It also fits the theming of the dungeon really well.
This theme being a somewhat reoccurring track in MSQ is great but god it really puts in mind how insane the Blessed Siblings being selectively bred in a hope of just surviving, nonetheless being exceptional above the already exceptional. Individuals can’t marry their loves as they have to marry for the sake of blending tribes, try for children, birth, and they die for countless times. And if one lives, they just get put through a trial by fire because they didn’t die before their first breaths just to hopefully prove their ancestor’s points. It’s so much more than “that sucks for those dead babies” it effected everyone so much
Honestly, I never expected FFXIV to ever tackle something as fucked up as eugenics, let alone in the "vacation" expansion.
@@BunnychanFarabee It's even worse since back in ARR, the Mamool Ja were treated as jokes for their culture's huge focus on breeding. Then we learn their culture is that way here and it saps the humor out of a lot of those old scenes.
Dawntrail has been my favorite expansion for music, and I never thought I'd say that after Endwalker and Shadowbringers.
the use of that music after the dungeon, in one of the cutscene, crushed me (still does...and its been hours!!!)
i know which one sadly
And all it took in that scene was one word, "would". The second I heard that I started sobbing. 😭
@@zeblith i swear i just hear the song and tears come up (and its been days, now!!) and they also used it later before one of the trial and i really felt bad for that boss .. like omg let me help them!!
where was this again?
@@loreofmetal5604 " 3 years " is as far as i willl say to avoid spoilers :)
When this plays in the cutscene after the succession when gulool ja ja tells everyone something and the strings come in it fits so fucking well
I can't stop thinking about the mamool ja mother in Tuliyolal tossing her kid into the air and catching them and just how much that means for them. that simple joy of family.
Knowing there's thousands of childs resting here gave me chill. I felt not comfortable during this dungeon and this feeling will surely persist. This music is borh gracious and terrifying.
The melody that kicks in at 1:08 has to be one of Soken's best. This song is fucking incredible, this dungeon was a huge highlight of the expac for me.
It sounds like a lullaby for children never born.
I really wish this was the motif for dawntrail and not that annoying one we got. Takes me out of whatever song the game is playing when I hear "tAkE a BiTE!!!11" this song is mindblowing and is incredibly catchy.
@@VForceWaveKinda true tbh
It’s literally one of this game‘s leitmotifs reused - again. Slightly altered, of course. Soken does this in nearly every piece he creates for this game. Not sure why, it gets boring after a while.
@@Zephhi I feel like this expansion's start could've been the best X.0 ever with what they had, but for some ungodly reason they invested into exclusively the worst parts possible. The skeleton of a 10/10 is here but oh my god the final product story-wise, character-wise, and theme-wise (phase 2 of trial 3 is a terrible song) its all just downright rotten
The content itself is peak though, best ever
"It's been three years since my brother left us..."
I can imagine a lot of us probably figured out the Head of Reason was gone, but was I the only one who hoped he was still alive and would finally talk to us when the contest was over?
Gosh, this song did play during that, didn’t it….
That had me actually crying a little for w/e reason. Felt like finding out a dear friend had suddenly passed.
I suspected after so many consecutive scenes of him being "asleep", but had some hope as well.
@@Valvadrix I hardly ever pick up on stuff others say they knew was coming or had long suspected, so it def hit me. 😅
man, I was in total shock. I can't imagine what it must feel like... this is even worst than loosing a twin. It's litteraly a part of himself. Having your dead brother near you CONSTANTLY may be some next level torture. Gulool Ja Ja is such a chad
@@neoshinsei4073 right???? That part!!!
songs perfect because it’s so mysterious and it transitions well into the futuristic and sci fi looking setting we don’t know about yet
The sad sombal of what happen to here combine with the theme of mysterious nature, as we go further down discovering what there. It amazing how they presented this dungeon.
this dungeon and the reveal about the blessed siblings in general was truly the highlight of the entire msq. incredible
My fave music so far of Dawntrail. So beautiful and so sad! That opening shot of the dungeon punched me in the throat
Absolute same. We'd been told what was down there but to actually see it was shocking and sad.
One of my favorites by far!
Hearing it play in a cutscene after the dungeon hurt me so, so bad. Even hearing it now has me emotional all over again, fuck lol. Definitely my favorite dungeon theme in this expansion (so far).
I now know what you mean. That *did* hurt, didn't expect that...!
That dungeon with this song... I was glad I did this with the trust system. I had to stop a couple times.... this dungeon messed me up.
Hearing this theme for the first time tonight and for the events that followed...
The impact it has, the serenity of it, it's absolutely perfect.
I'm crying everytime this plays it's so beautiful
Just did this dungeon. Incredible OST. Another favorite for me 😁
Final boss was wild though, wow.
Holy fuck I did not expect it and I loved it to bits
@paragon359 Yeah, easily one of my favorites this expansion. It reminds me somewhat of Amaurot.
@@paragon359 it also smash you to bits so feeling must be mutual
On the note of the final boss. The use of Titan Maximum's skeleton from E4S was actually genius. I love huge bosses
I LOVE E4S!!!!!!!
Excellent and personally for me, this was one of the top three best tracks of the entire album. Very fitting, has a haunting sadness to the vibes and brings home the sheer gravity of the place-- the way the camera shows you the vases at the very beginning hits like a truck-- I remember whispering to myself "My dear God-- so so so many"
THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TO BE A FUN SUMMER VACATION. No one said anything about a cave full of dead babies!
This songs hits harder, once you know whats in there
Tiny ja in those jars.
So, so many emotions while listening to this song. It just goes so many places and hits so many notes (metaphorically). As others have mentioned, it truly addresses two big revelations found in this dungeon: the countless urns and the entrance to the golden city.
Running throught this dungeon for the first time as a tank... and make everyone wait 3 whole minutes before pulling the last pack because of the SHOCK of seeing the city. Damn. This game is pure gold ! and get me started on the music !
I literally could not heal the last boss due to the tears rolling down my face. This music is perfection.
You need better teammates that dont need as much healing then so you can continue to feel emotions 😊
Ultima Thule got me bad enough, the places and themes in dawntrail had me bawling on more than one occasion, I dunno how much more my fragile heart can take
This piece is masterfully done. All the pain and sadness that revolves around this place is beautifully displayed in this works. The tone, the tempo, the key, and the way it is performed as a whole is absolute perfection.
This music has me in a chokehold. You can hear vibes of music from The Tempest here, it feels ancient and mystical, horrifically sad, but hopeful at the same time. Absolutely beautiful. Easily my favourite so far (not completed msq yet).
Depressing as all hell when you realize that a Mass Grave is hiding another Mass Grave...
WHAT THE FUCK SQUARE?!?
When you stop to think about the amount of pain that happened over some vain dream of blessed siblings.
All those pots are DEAD CHILDREN, not to mention the agony the women must have gone through to keep churning out babies in the hopes that JUST ONE of them would be blessed...
Bakool Ja Ja was an arsehole in the 1st half of the story, but when you get to this part, you realise that underneath all that bravado and nastiness is a child in pain.
Pain from knowing that he was "produced" to be a living god for his people and that dozens if not hundreds of his siblings died in infancy as the "failures". Survivor's guilt in other words.
@@SoranPryde For real, I choked up when Wuk Lamat asked him what he wanted and he just said through pained words
"I want it to END."
@@SoranPryde From what they said, for every one of them that made it to birth, a hundred twins don't.
Bakool ja ja was indeed such an asshole i wanted to end him so badly.
😮💨 i feel a bit guilty for wanting that now knowing his story.
Dude had so much pressure on him, so much hopes and dreams to fullfill, so much sacrifice to "justify" and he failed. Even after all the nasty things he did.
The official song of "holy shit that is a LOT of dead babies."
let me tell you, when i saw there was gonna be another cave crawl dungeon in the trailer i said something along the lines of "i want to like cave dungeons but they're so one tone. i really hope they spice it up."
hoo boy... the story... the atmosphere and the music. I still can't put into words how it made me feel the first time but good god. hell of a mid-way dungeon i'd say lol
Running up that incline after the second boss was such an awe inspiring scene. With duty support NPC's the timing was just right that the music managed to crecendo right as the pyramid came into view and it was amazing.
@@jjc1017:30 in the video has a similar feel.
First time i went in here i had my jaw drop to the floor. The feels, emotion, music and visuals are just amazing.
This dungeon is my favourite this expansion, one of the most beautiful tracks and that walk up the corridor to reveal the golden city in the distance, I was in pure awe and filled with excitement.
exact same
Same to me man, at that time where we walked up stairs and saw the golden gate gives me chills
Me too. My jaw was open half the time. It was so good. 😊😊
Just did this dungeon, liked the song before this moment, but damn. That final section of the dungeon's visuals combined with this song was just breathtaking. And the cutscene with the "reveal" afterwards was also so atmospheric with this in the background.
Okay so...
This whole temple gave me ronkan vibes unlike anything else.
Which is kinda neat. Also the later reveals imply that our adventure in the first took place in the first's equivalent of Tural.
Even more neat.
And the fact that the Mamool 'ja have been, for centuries, enduring selective breeding practices just to get a singular 2 headed mamool'jaa for hundreds of dead children is heart-breaking. No wonder so many of them sell themselves as mercenaries across the Salt. That kind of existence is hell.
And the fact that the solution is as simple as "Use seeds that will grow in this otherwise inhospitable, but fertile environment". This whole area solidified how much Tural needs leaders like Koana and Wuk Lamatt.
Also it made me like Bakol ja ja
The thing about the first is wildly incorrect. Lakeland is where mor dhona is, Il Mheg is where Coerthas is, Kholusia is where La Noscea is, Ahm Araeng is where Thanalsn is and Rak’Tika is where the Black Shroud is. Point being Shadowbringers zones 1-5 are the Firsts equivalent of the ARR regions with Il Mheg being the only difference in that it isn’t snowy
Dude the qitana ravel gear from the shop, the ronkan armor from the dungeon, the ronkan golems... the inca/aztec architecture....
I knew instantly this was related somehow to the ronkan empire in the first. I just didnt really exactly know how. But damn i knew there was NO coincidence that so much was the same.
@@GbrByyou can even see it somewhat on the world map. The shape of eulmore and kholusia on the map is similar to vylbrand/la noscea
@@GbrBy Not a real difference, back then, in 1.0, Coerthas wasn't snowy, and the north part of Il Mheg really look like Coerthas 1.0
@@GbrBy actually later on in Shaaloani, you encounter the Source's equivalent of the trolley boys in the First
If I have a cents for a horrible pot related revelation I would got 2 cents, which is weird because it happened twice IN A WEEK
Add 3 cents when you realize the small pots sound like children
Mushoku?
@@jangouni1619elden ring
I fell in love with this song. gosh its listening to it, such sadness and sorrow. sigh
So mysterious.
A fitting theme for the path to the golden city
The sound track to a monument of sin, of pain and ironically of hope for more for the mamool ja no matter the toll.
ahh yet again ffxiv got me hooked on another beautiful song 10/10
Absolutely love this song, the way it helped set the tone and mood in multiple cutscenes just man, Soken don't miss.
Man... can't say i didn't felt quite sad running this dungeon with this music in the background and the knowledge of what's inside all those pots scattered around, i really wasn't expecting that...
I got Xenoblade 2 vibes the first time I ran this dungeon. Definitely my favorite dungeon in this game.
Glad I wasn’t the only one, definitely would feel right at home in Xenoblade 2
The entire Mamook arc was so unsettling and depressing. Even now that I've finished the MSQ, whenever I go back to the Mamook, I'm just filled with sadness.
My fav dungeon so far, they are COOKING on the music
The vocals are SO FREAKING GOOD. This song fits hand in hand with the sci-fi horror in this expansion. It's so dark and gloomy, you can feel the heavy weight it carries; the sacrifice and deaths of children, the uncertainty for what awaits you as you face something entirely alien. Every single time it's played I feel a lump growing in my throat.
In a word, Haunting. Simultaneously beautiful and horrific.
1:35 at this point is when I came out of the stairway after the 2nd boss and saw the massive gold gateway. Talk about perfect timing!
Same on this video at 7:28 c:
Stunning piece of music too. When I got to this dungeon in almost immediately became my favorite. And know that no dungeon has contested The Burn for me in a very long time. But here we are. Skydeep Cenote contesting 1st place for me musically
This has to be my favorite piece. It's so lovely. Ethereal yet....so somber. My WHM regrets disturbing the ones at rest there.
I need the 10 hour version! It's so beautiful, epic and sad at the same time
After this sequence, I don't think I can look at Manxome Molaa Ja Ja the same way again
I love Yak T'el. I love its environments. I love its people. I love it's musical theme and I especially love this dungeon variant of it. It's so sad and magestic which makes sense as you first play through but coming back to it after the end of the MSQ hits emotionally on another level.
Man i shud finish the MSQ then... now i am curious AF
There's something about having to pass through the graveyard of unborn children to reach the golden city only to find out that it's the simulacra of those who should have been put to rest a long, long time ago... It hits in such a distinct way from our visit to the First or even the Thirteenth.
What a dungeon theme. I was so surprised and amazed when I was running it for the 1st time. How the dungeon transitioned from a children graveyard to Yok Huy long abandoned quarry and, at last, to an alien-like technology with purple/golden glow.
The dungeon was the first time Dawntrail story took a REALLY serious turn after the somewhat relaxing (from WoL perspective, at least) 90-95 level adventure. And the music nails it just right.
And when, later in the story, we discover more information about people behind said super advanced technology, it make the said melody even more somber. Damn...
This summer vacation got dark so quickly...
Fuck the summer vacation.
It hasn't been a vacation from the start. We're medling with politic affairs and fighting beasts left, right and center. Not to mention the BS bakool ja ja was putting us trough. Yes we took a bit of a backseat during all this as the warrior of light. (Cuz appearently nobody in Tural knows we are the most powerfull individual on the planet but whatever)
But we still been fighting with some stakes involved. I barely can call that a vacation
@cherrydragon3120 this. It never was a vacation LOL
Not to mention, and this is just a personal gripe, but later on during a certain part. We suddenly lose battle IQ and stand around doing nothing like we haven't saved the star multiple times over. I know it's to tell a story and animations are a thing but I hate when it makes our character look incompetent.
I...I was joking.
@@cherrydragon3120 Imagine the MSQ being a single quest of “/frolic in the waters at the beach of Tuliyollal 1,000 times.”
At the end of the day it’s still a video game. Players need challenging content to do and an engaging story to follow.
Granted, this so-called “low stakes vacation” turned into another “Gotta save the world” situation way too quickly, but it was bound to happen some time.
@@sizzychittybangbang People too serious to correct casual thing.
Gotta be my favorite theme from the expansion so far. Beautiful but haunting.
I fricking love it
I've had this song stuck in my head on and off ever since the first time I heard it, thank you for so diligently uploading the OST for us all.
I had that too. I've been humming it alot
Thank you for posting this, I needed this song. Something about it hit me and I just had to sit for a minute in the dungeon and listen to it.
7:30 so well timed I just choked up.
The moment that the golden gate was revealed to me, the music hit the climax and it truly brought tears to my eyes. It was beautiful.
I finished this dungeon last night at 2am with trusts, going down to find the the supposed location of the City. What an atmospheric journey with this music playing in the background. Soon as i heard this, I needed to obtain the music scroll .. and it dropped!
I neeed it ):
Im loving DT they're really on point with the music as always ❤
I went "oh man look at all the dead babies here"
To
"Wait we found it ALREADY?
“Who am I.. What is my path.. Why was I born..”
After the story around Mamook, I kind of wished we could bring Bakool with us for the rest of the expansion.
It's getting real now and the feels are really hitting.
This piece brings me to tears. It's just... beautiful.
Bruh this is support to be a kino summer vacation, why there are dead children here T.T
This music is very different from the usual but it's very fitting. I like this approach of using very different music styles for the dungeons. Though there's no way I can correctly guess who arranged this. I think it's either Saya Yasaki or Daiki Ishikawa.
Just a random aside but I'm so impressed by how you play healer on controller, makes me want to try to give some relief to my wrists.
This dungeon was fuckin amazing. And Sokken really cooked with this track.
This music was perfect for the dungeon very haunting and sad. Not going to lie it hit me in the feels hard.
Soon as I arrive to this dungeon, I immediately fell in love with this track. So far, my best track. Reminds me a lot of the Worm Mount Sagespire OST from FFXVI.
I cried so Hard when i was on that part of the Story..
I needed to pause for a moment because i couldnt See shit through these tears
And there they was... everyone that said " enjoy ypur vacation addon LOL"
GO! GO ON I DARE YOU!
play this story and say it again!
1.38 I never felt so his in my soul like I was letting go of the very biggest burden I had to carry idk this dungeon as a special place in my heart specially coz I tanked the entire msq I will never forget those babies ….
Favorite dungeon and favorite music
I ascended listening to this.
I loved when they used this right as we see Zoraal Ja out of his mind barely holding in all the souls he has devoured in a mad attempt to succeed his father. I really think we needed a Villian like him, ultimately one who was short sighted beyond comparison. Gaius, Thordan, Zenos, Emet and even Metieon resolved to do grand yet horrible and understandable things. Zarool Ja could have at any time stopped his decent into madness. He could have sought more help in the contest, he could have had more trust worthy allies, he could have accepted his loss to Lamat, he could have tried to walk a new path, not based in conquest, he could have used his half of power to rule Alexandria to force Sphen to listen to talks about a peaceful resolution. At every moment his pride and short-sightedness cost him. I hope this doesn't become a running trend for villains, but honestly it was a refreshing villain for the lot we faced. And honestly Sphen felt more like a consequence of his choices rather than a true villain, like Eren's mother said.
Hands down the best piece of music in this expansion, that first dungeon run I had was almost in a trance-like state.
For me too
Say what you want about the story of DT. The music and dungeons have been 10/10
I already know that this will be my favorite dungeon of the expansion.
Just hauntingly beautiful. This piece reminds me of Gareth Coker's work on Ori games.
1:08 love this leitmotif
Wheres the leitmotif from?
@@doinyourdad_6969It's Yak T'els overall motif! You can hear it in both it's day and night themes :>
Typically when a dungeon takes place in an overworld area its theme will incorporate the area's theme in it
Damn this dungeon was dark and mysterious being a grave site to a bunch of unborn kids hiding The golden city or as I'd like to call it final fantasy xiv El Dorado Still did the people that built this place knew the golden city was here they just didn't know what to interpret it or they were too scared to go even deeper? Probably both
They say they didn't ever go all the way in. Presumably they encountered the defenses and decided it was best not to proceed or something like that.
@@gackybass With that thing at the end of the dungeon, I do not blame them for not going deeper.
@@EternalBladeX i think they never went past the 2nd boss area. All those statues coming to life would be horrifying for the mamool ja. The place screams haunted and GO AWAY. I don't blame them for never going there.
Also there are a buncha doors that only open after the golems are defeated. Given they're still there and the doors closed. Safe to assume not many got past the defenders
This dungeon should be named Xibalbá to be perfect.
Miquiztlioztotl would be more apt considering all of the Aztec influences. I agree, though. It would've hit much harder.
@@Michael-qk7cs yak tel is mostly mayan however. With cenotes and xibruc pibil and all of thay
What does it mean tho
@@cherrydragon3120 Maya underworld. It means something like "Place of fright".
@@alexmetaverseI see. Good to know!
Arriba Yucatan, Quintana Roo Campeche!!!!
This is the best music I've ever heard
Incredible dungeon. Just absolutely perfect.
Banger
my favourite dungeon theme
This dungeon was very disturbing go go through, especially the first section with all the urns of the dead babies in the water
Bakool Ja Ja: "Guys guess what I have sitting in my backyard!"
"Xibriq Pibil?"
"Better."
"Our stolen keystone?"
"Better."
"The city of gold?"
"Better."
"Well WHAT BAKOOL JA JA?"
"9999 Aborted fetuses!"
No words do justice to the emotions I felt when going through this part. What we learned, and going into the dungeon.. just to be hit with this. And going down, looking at the water, and realizing... those aren't just rocks. They're *urns*. A colossal burial ground for an innumberable amount of unborn Mamool Ja... Every time I listen to this, I can't help but feel a profound sadness, a sadness that brings with it a want for the pain to stop. A hope, that things will change. Longing for relief, salvation. This track does so well to paint and portray the emotions of the Mamool Ja civilization, and why they did what they did, creating the weight of such a massive burden with strength of sound and inferred tragedy. And I love that this got used further in, too, as moments called for such a strong emotional reaction, of sad realizations.
My favourite song so far in this game!
Reminds me very much of the Temple of Drifting Sands theme from NieR: Replicant/Gestalt. Which oddly makes it even more fitting
I'm not gonna lie when this theme hit, I immediately got Amarout vibes, and from a lore standpoint, that's not a good thing. However, music wise, it was a great thing. 😭 this dungeon is what clued me in on what was about to happen.
This reminds me so much of diving into a HFW cauldron.
