FFXIV OST Pharos Sirius - Full Version ( A Light in the Storm )

[@reiyun]

Still one of the best dungeon theme's in the game to this day

[@milebackwards]

The epicness in this theme is unrivaled still. It's quite sad that Siren doesn't play a big role in the plot, which make this theme a bit of waste.

[@ffffdsd]

For one of the worst dungeons in the game lol

[@strassboom2612]

@@milebackwards the epic dungeon theme is meant to lure sprouts into the siren’s lair, hence why it is so vocal heavy, unlike The Wanderer’s Palace, or Brayflox’s Longstop

[@rivenoak]

@@milebackwards technically you need the Siren to sing whole time ;)

[@TheAssirra]

​@@ffffdsd it's not a bad dungeon. It's just a very rare instance where you actually have to do mechanics correctly.

[@ryanc5572]

I love how tragic the song is. Its melody is haunting and beautiful, yet incredibly full of sorrow, symbolic of the both the people that lost their lives when the lighthouse was destroyed by the crystals, as well as those lured there by the Siren's song. Easily my favourite song of ARR.

[@luxiuscaligore]

Right!? I'm so glad you get it! Before I knew the name of the song I could hear the theme of struggle, a light in the dark. The hopelessness, when everything looks bleak as you traverse the lighthouse. The limits you're pushed to trying to reach the top against the wrestless souls that live here. The hope that keeps you going while fear fastens around your heart. The fear that you may fail your endeavor like those before you, that you may fall prey as the beautiful, dark melody grows louder with each step forward. You are the hope, the hope of those that came before you, the lost souls. The hope that you would succeed in silencing the siren forevermore. Upon reaching the top, you muster all your will-power and fight to your last breath, the last bit of hope you have to live. Finally, you and your companions are victorious, turning the siren's decievingly beautiful hymn into an honest melody of strife and victory with untold challenges that make you question your resolve and test your courage. You take a deep breath, finally realizing you can breathe again. The worst may not be over yet, but now you know that against all odds, you have the will to survive.

Is there lyrics to the song?

[@OmegaExalted]

You're telling me lol

[@SekiberiusWelkesh]

Now i can barely stand.

[@Dordracnor]

we died twice to that boss before the tank just said screw it and just focus down the boss

[@BartoszBielecki]

You should have fought against the last boss in Haukke Mannor. You do everything correctly, and - for some reason - you wipe. Why? Too much damage on the boss...

[@rinnnnnnnnnnrin]

@@BartoszBielecki XD that's so dumb

[@Spika94]

When I first entered potd and I heard this music, I instantly fell in love with it. Really made my first time in potd feel like an epic journey into the unknown. I got goosebumps.

[@rinnnnnnnnnnrin]

Potd is really quite amazing. I wish you could do all of heaven on high with random parties but nope... thanks square

[@TinariKao]

That's how I heard this song, I'm relatively new to FFXIV. I heard this song then scoured the internet till I found it, since I haven't reached this dungeon yet.

[@fiend1385]

Grinding PotD like crazy and its so much fun Best MMO i have ever played

[@mlgzuniga08]

Same!!!

[@CrisssCross]

The song is so amazing, i kinda feel it's sort of a waste to use it on a simple dungeon. But non the less, this is the best dungeon music i have heared in all my 10+ years playing MMOs

[@jagwam]

The song is great,love it, but there's other songs in the game I like just a bit more, however generally speaking the music in this game is far better then any other game! First time I played this game and heard the music, it was unreal! I did'nt even know MMO's could have such great music, the sensation was what it must have been seeing colour TV for the first time!

[@Caim]

This dungeon was by far the hardest one in the game when it was released. It's been nerfed a ton, and content updates overgear the players for older content

[@chelleyevans5216]

+Taylor Rioux Lol people still get wiped in it synced for killing the bosses too fast, therefore spawning all the ads.

[@itsjonesh]

+Krisos Best DG song in the whole game? Agreed thousands of times. But i personally liked Glastheim themes (Ragnarok I). The whole of Glastheim was an three floor- dung in an haunted city. It was dark, it was eerie, it putted you on edge. If ya not heard, highly recomend it.

[@Sassy_Witch]

I hate it how they constantly nerf down Content Just because its old doesnt mean I dont want a nice challenge to have fun :/

[@elanderan1104]

My favorite part is when this amazing song is replaced during boss fights by the repetitive boss music we've heard 100s of times.

[@SubduedRadical]

I like to think the female vocals are Siren at the top of the tower singing. This just sounds like a song worthy of being tied to a mast to listen to as your ship sails by, though I could see those not strong of will dying after for pining after that taste of heaven. I'm not sure if that's what they were going with or not, but I love this theme. It's operatic, has a wonderful orchestral feel, and speaks of mystery, danger, and wonder. Game or no, FFXIV has some of the most fantastic music. And I say this as a huge fan of ShB music knocking it out of the park, but this track is still one of my favorite pieces in the entire game.

[@lukastargazer3089]

pretty sure this is a boys choir

[@Ezaffin]

Shortest, sweetest message I could manage to my party before the Zu fight without a keyboard. "Plz don't eggs"

[@CaptainSkylocke]

This is one of the most epic and beautiful pieces of music I've heard in a videogame. It gave me goosebumps and made me stand around awestruck like an idiot.

[@XFry333X]

Karshe Oberon agreed. The mix of zombies and siren singing makes it all feel dire and mystical. One of my favorites. Love getting this dungeon in roulettes.

[@CaptainSkylocke]

Felipe Revuelta I love it when it pops up in POTD. I also love the Tam Tara Hard theme it's creepy as fuck.

[@XFry333X]

That one is awesome too! The overall game has an amazing OST. This one and The Lost City of Ampador (normal) are ones that get stuck in my head.

[@ZansoT]

Karshe Oberon I totally agree with you man..its the best music ive heard in the game...oblivion songs comes right after this one

[@rinnnnnnnnnnrin]

I ran this dungeon 3 Times last night getting all the blue mage spells for this dungeon and not once did I get annoyed or bored. This music+ blue mage made it a blast

[@nickpokelomaniaco]

I believe that this song is siren singing from the top of the tower, it is really amazing

[@rivenoak]

sneaky plot from the developers IMHO. as sirens are known to be badass singers the music somewhat composed itself once you decided upon the main villains.

[@juanfernandorojas3194]

first time I heard this theme in the palace of the dead I was hipnotized, definitively one of the best themes in the game!! so immersive and beautiful!!!

[@dr.arielfinch4316]

You know, if you think about it, the fact this music stops when you reach the Siren could be interpreted as her constantly singing and it's reverberating from the top all the way to the entrance of the dungeon.

[@lolzor96]

I finally found it. Ever since hearing this in Palace of the Dead I've been looking everywhere for it. And I finally know the name now

[@AlliumForest]

Me too! I was telling my friends who were playing with me how much I loved it and no one could put a name to the song.

[@ZanzaLionHeart626]

Same here. I just did it, and I fell in love. This is the type of music that should be end game.

[@ThatFreikugel]

This song legit put tears in my eyes the first time I heard it years back.

[@TheDisruptedMind]

I can only imagine how badly the healer wanted to choke that tank.

[@NaiblistheCurious1]

+Disrupted Oni I know I would've. SCH can't heal as much as the WHM they had.

[@Nira_rose]

I play quite a good healer. Times like that sometimes I want to choke the tank lol. Even then if healer can't heal them from big pull. Tank always go off on healer.

[@rinnnnnnnnnnrin]

One time I ran this we got a newbie tank that kept running around. This wouldnt be a problem if the dps were casters but they weren't. We were melee dps and it pissed not only the healer off bit the dps too

[@rinnnnnnnnnnrin]

AND IT WAS ON THE BIRD OF ALL BOSSES

[@TaniDraws]

My first run through this dungeon as a WHM I had a tank who kept pulling -the entire dungeon- and sprinting away out of healing range. Dude, please, stay put so I can heal you, my swiftcast has a cooldown and isn't meant for trash pulls ; .;

[@khgameplayer]

This theme always goes hard. Such an ethereal vibe. Makes it feel like the siren is singing to you herself.

[@Sinistralx]

Everytime I run this dungeon, I find myself stopping on the staircase (I think the one just at the end of this vid though not shown) and looking out the window at the view of the sea...just for a moment....as the sheer grand somberness of this music overwhelms my lowly soul.

[@Dractonis]

I did the same thing, many times in that dungeon. It plays on repeat in my house now.

[@darkadia6520]

This is some of the best dungeon music I have ever heard in my entire life

[@Nesaru]

It completely replaced the short version in the dungeon.

[@KazarothGaming]

This is the only version that the game uses now.

[@Nesaru]

KazarothGaming Not quite. There's two versions of the same song. The one in Hard Mode being the better version as it's less repetitive and you're able to hear the entire thing.

[@KazarothGaming]

Isn't the HM version identical except it adds a piece at the start?

[@Nesaru]

It's identical, yes, but it's also 'shorter' than this version. Less repetitive.

This song slaps so hard. I recently did this dungeon after not doing it in probably 5 years and was blown away.

[@kailanikai8946]

Normally, I have the game music set to low. However, I happened to have my music setting higher than normal when I ran this dungeon solo on my blue mage. I was able to obtain the "aetherial mimicry" spell after the first run, but I loved the music to this dungeon so much that I actually ran the dungeon a second time to just hear it again. Ridiculous I know, but it is that good.

[@oldking8276]

Siren song makes me think of Eve in Parasite Eve..And I like that. ^_^

Why is every video that has music from FFXIV "feature" gameplay? I think it's just a way for people to brag or show off their characters and runs while piggybacking off the popularity of the music itself. I'd rather a static background with no commentary/fluff/gameplay/nonsense.

It's actually in the ToS of Square Enix. You are only allowed to use the music in combination with gameplay
