I just can't stop looking at the dude's mustache. That thing is glorious. Not thick but just the right amount.

[@elspethtirel]

Seriously, I think that's the only attractive mustache I've ever seen.

[@AFlaminBanana]

the most recent expansion injected an entire new meaning into this song and it hits so much harder knowing how much we didn't know when we first heard this 8 years ago.

[@WinoaKaronhiatens]

i mean it's almost or is a decade of this song now. I enjoyed it back when i first started in 2.0 when ARR started up. The servers were dead and people were pretty friendly.You had to go to towns to find find people to join content. This past decade with this game I've a quite a lot of great memories with this game.

[@joshuaklein8429]

I hear the ancients start singing in the beginning and I instantly tear up. It was powerful before Endwalker and now it’s indescribably so

[@Touvan_DRK]

Couldn’t agree more, I first hear the brief part of it when dalamund was falling on us during 1.0, since then it’s taken in an expanded meaning and really speak to the devs if they planned it this whole time because that’s insane foresight and planning. Hats off to the team.

I haven't played final fantasy at all, but I'd like to know why it does give it a different meaning anfter endwalker

[@tomli11]

Anyone watching this in 2021 after finishing Endwalker? Cannot believe this song was written 10 years ago... my god.

[@sitnspin1819]

It hits so differently after playing Endwalker.

[@sitnspin1819]

@@kisaragiluna6935 How hard did it hit you?

[@rhiflux]

I found the "anyone playing it yet?" funny because this concert was after the servers were taken offline for the legacy version but before the beta was up for A Realm Reborn, so you literally couldn't play it then. oh, and it was a beautiful performance :)

[@Kitamurasama]

I love her voice she was a perfect choice her voice has a natural kind or nurturing tone that goes so incredibly well with the song message.

[@Willifrex]

Thank you, Venat

We will find our way.

[@teraedwards7835]

I am the nerd listening to this at home with tears that I can't stop from falling. Nobuo-san continues to produce some of the most... breathtakingly beautiful pieces of work. I would be devastated to lose him. Please become immortal... Maybe if we all pray hard enough, he'll become a primal :O

[@TheDondarrion]

I would love for him and Masayoshi Soken to get together and produce a piece it could quite frankly be one of the best pieces of music ever written

[@budakbaongsiah]

Prepare for the worst. Mr. Uematsu himself said that he might only have twenty years left on him.

I need to see why the understading of the song changed within the expansion

Her voice never gets old and it never will. What a powerful voice.

Here in 2021 and this song is still the top ten for the last 4 years on spotify most played songs 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This song's so powerful, legit can't listen to it without getting misty-eyed especially with the context of Endwalker. Susan's voice is absolutely amazing.

[@ItsSauIGoodman]

😭😭😭😭 the cut in her voice at 3:28 when she sings "land" is seriously gut wrenching when you know the story

I was close to the front on the right hand side there in Chicago. It was so fun. I had a VIP ticket and got to meet Nobuo, Susan and Arnie, very cool concert. I love the music from the FF series of games.

[@deusdemosilence3916]

This song is sooo good. I literally log into 14 just to go to my in game house to hear this song play on perma repeat. I am here asI get ready for work. I need this song in my life on the daily.

I started playing the beginning of this year, and I looked at the official video of the song and cried. There is do much emotion in the video and even more in the song itself

[@UneclipsedGamer]

This song always gives me chills. Good god...❤️

[@kolz4ever1980]

Seriously. Absolute fucking master piece from Nobuo Uematsu. I wish so much I was there when this video played live the first time because so many years later this song and video is an absolute treat every time.

How can you not get emotional, especially hearing this after endwalker.. I must live long enough to see Distant Worlds

Omg thanks for this video! It’s terrific!

[@jewii3824]

It's kinda funny how back in 2012 when asked "hey any ff14 fans here" the crowd like "ya lets pretend to be excited about this game" "woooooo" I went to distant worlds last year and the audience went crazy when 14 was mentioned. How time has changed.

[@mookiestewart3776]

That’s what happens when you make a bullshit product and then put your heart in and soul into making things right

Who claps before a songs end

It bothered me that people started clapping right before it was about to end. Its like they never heard this song and thought it was over. Casuals I tell you.

[@MrOmgfreak]

do you no how much money this lady made singing this song.........ALLOT!!!!!!!!

[@Chrisfragger1]

Probably less than Cardi B made on WAP...

[@linpossible7940]

lol, nice reply, you got me ~ =D Nono... it's just that her voice doesn't elicit any response in my heart, probably because the quality of the video is quite low.

[@prettypinkcontroller]

She has such a beautiful voice but I feel like she rushed this song. Don't you think? Like she sang everything so fast haha.
