FFXIV OST Tsukuyomi Theme ( Wayward Daughter )

Since a few people have been asking; a video showing the final phase of the story trial from patch 4.3 Track is called Wayward Daughter and official lyrics are:
華は　装束く
意味　ひとひらを
定めしや　我生くを　断ち翻して
さあ　いざ――
Westward lies bleed t'ward the east
　"西の虚栄が　東へと流れ込む"
Wayward daughter, step into the night
　"価値なき娘よ　夜闇へと踏み入れたまえ"
Restless eyes, blind to the beast
　"瞑れぬその目も　堕ちた己を映しはしまい"
Barren waters yield unto the tide
　"無力な露は　流れに従うしかないのだよ――"
寄る辺の　月は
紅蓮に　冴えて
遺せしは　抗いの　名残のみなれど
さあ　いざ――

[@Hennnibear]

Some neat symbolism in this fight. Red spider lily, also known as lycoris radiata or higanbana is a bright red flower that is often found around graveyards in Japan. The bulb of the flower is poisonous, and they are planted at graves as tribute for the dead. They are associated with death and legends say if you meet someone you'll never see again, these flowers will bloom along the path. They also symbolize loss, longing, abandonment and lost memories. All phase transition attacks have a giant spider lily in them, and the flower grows during the late summer/early autumn rainy season, which is also known as "Tsuyu." Makes you wonder how far back they thought of all of this.

[@i.147]

Pretty sure they thought about everything. The devs also have the story planned in advance and they are pretty good at putting some details and clues.

[@rhazelanadis3452]

That’s what I love about this mmo unlike other mmos, they really put time into small details and try to make everything so beautiful.

[@theadorabletk]

*Spoilers my dudes** I think what really made my heart hurt regarding Yotsuyu/Tsuyu was when she ran to the tree after Asahi pulled his stunt. She remembered all the horrid things she'd endured and done as Yotsuyu, and Tsuyu wanted to commit suicide. She remembered all the pain and suffering she'd gone through and simply wanted it to end. And then her parents had to twist the knife further and release the shackles on the beast. As twisted as it is, I'm happy she's gone. No more pain, no more suffering. If people in the world of FFXIV reincarnate, I hope she gets the chance. Yotsuyu deserves at least one life of peace.

Who knows, maybe we'll see some reference in one of the 13 reflections, the "second" world maybe? Also, FF14 indicating there are 14 universes. So the amount of content may never end as we still got 12 more "reflections" left unless something bad happens (some may already been lost due to the calamities of fusion).

[@gamester512]

@@dra6o0n Well, one of those reflections was a "shard" that was destroyed by a flood of darkness and as such became the World of Darkness. Though it could be interesting if we actually do travel back there, but this time we do so to reverse the change. And in that case we might even get to encounter our World of Darkness "self" (though my gut tells me our World of Darkness self would actually turn out to be the Cloud of Darkness).

Lol I posted this two years ago and it’s STILL true. Suzuku, Seiryu, Innocence, Hades, Seat of Sacrifice... not only are they still great, they’re somehow getting even better. Ridiculous.

[@Bahamaria]

When I first saw Yotsuyu, I really thought there was no way they could handle and conclude such a difficult character in a satisfactory way. And boy did they prove me wrong. She was both beyond salvation and so pitiful - giving her a few days of grace and happiness and the love that she didn't get as a child, and then giving her her revenge, but also having her die because there is no coming back from such depths of evil and hatred - that was perfect.

[@wrigglenight93]

Honestly I was put off by the whole Tsuyu story, to me it just felt a bit uncomfortable and infantilizing. But the payoff really made it click

[@DakonBlackblade2]

@@wrigglenight93 The thing with the Tsuyu story is that it shows us that Yotsuyu is not an evil person, that is not her nature. All the rancor and rage she harbors comes from the inhuman level of abuse she suffered, she is a completely broken human being that never had a chance, I think Tsuyu works really well.

[@briandavion]

@@DakonBlackblade2 it occured to me after this arc that this may have been one of the major themes of Stormblood. the 3 ""villians" of it, Fondullia, Zenos, and Yotsuyu where all, when you think of it, to one degree or another, created by their enviroment, they never outright said it, but considering the emperor's reaction to Zenos' death I doubt very much he had a warm and loving childhood. I mean... christ he calls the WoL his "one true friend".

[@kyrios0307]

The female vocal melody is basically the Doma daytime theme but transposed into another key. This song and Byakko's theme are basically re-arrangements of Doma's theme which is quite clever.

The Gosetsu arc, Tsuku trial, the meetup with Varis, Ghimlyt... I don't share the hatred for SB but it was... mediocre. Too much filler, too little direction for a lot of the xpack - even though it picked up in the end. The fact you spent like a third of the content just running around Ruby/Azim, doing whatever made it feel really disjointed. Also I feel that Yanxia/Azim/Ruby Sea wasn't what a lot of people expected from a far eastern themed expansion.

When the Shade of Gosetsu dashes out and blocks Zenos' sword...hypest fucking moment in Stormblood!

[@JohnWulfgar]

Spoiler Alert: I nearly cried when the Shade of Gosetsu jumps out to protect Yotsuyu from Zenos's sword. He was the one good person in her entire life whom she felt at ease with. It showed that even in her darkest hours, she still clung on to that one final shred of hope and love for Gosetsu which, in a way, changed her. It was the one moment whence she felt grateful, happy, instead of bitterness and anger. It was the one moment where I truly believed that had fate been just a little kinder, she would have been able to live happily with Gosetsu as his surrogate granddaughter.

[@kaltadesmon]

[@Kiyosuki]

Not everyone’s bad either though. Think that’s the point they’re trying to hammer in. It’s a burden the leaders and you the WoL have to bear that not everyone you’re saving deserves it. I think it’s obviously setting up the going to Garlemald we’ll probably do in 5.0, as there’s been a lot of deconstruction of the clear goodguys vs badguys depiction that’s been around since vanilla 14.

Sometimes when I get bored in this game I just queue up for it, for no reason other then the fact that its incredible. Very few things in any game that are like that for me and this manages to be one.

Defeating Yotuysu in combat, wasn't killing a tyrant. It was a mercy killing, putting her out of her misery after a lifetime of it. She wanted to die and take her rotten brother with her. What better way to go, then for a monster to die at the hands of a hero?

[@yejitzy2322]

Vayne Insane all she wanted to do was die at that point. She regretted everything she did, especially after her short life with Gosetsu but she began to remember. Her accepting to become a primal meant she was to going to die so she took it and as she was dying, took her cruel and bitch ass brother with her. I’m glad she is out of her misery. Her horrible brother and parents raised a monster and that monster was gone, came back but once again gone again and she suffered because of her brother until the end. I was so happy watching that son of bitch die.

[@X1erra]

It is definitely not us killing Yotsuyu for the tyrant she is, but it's the fact that she's now an eikon and must be defeated before it becomes too much to handle. I feel a lot of pity, I was like "Tsuyu, no!". The whole fight I wasn't happy that I am given a challenge, instead I felt sorrow for having forced to slay her. The music felt just right for that mood.

[@Cucoolander]

Funny you mention this, because I didn't get the same feeling of satisfaction from finally taking down Yotsuyu than from Asahi getting his just desserts. I'm glad the I got the fight I was longing for at 4.0, but had she gotten to live a good life, things might have been different. (She should've let us kill Ashai though.)

Really makes you wonder how the WoL would have ended if they were born in a territory controlled by Garlemald. And it's because of their similirsties that Zenos manages to form a connection with the WoL, even if it's a connection based on violence, because that's the only language he's ever known

@@kyactus2046 Considering that the WoL has been helping people in every single one of his reincarnation, i'm pretty damn sure that helping people is in his soul. He would still help people even if he was born in garlemald, that's just who he is.

Congratulations!

[@Noki_Kelevra]

That filthy fucking drum track is one of the greatest things in the entirety of FF14

[@wiliyantoadinata9170]

first they suprised us with titan extreme ost years ago ... and they comeback with shiva extreme ost ( full version ) ... this time ... this song .... great job !!!

[@jettgonyoom1395]

Easily my favorite Trial so far. Favorite music, favorite mount, favorite weapons, favorite EX, favorite barding. Everything about it is *chefs kiss*

[@oldmanartist4655]

"what do I have to do here" Questions that needed to be asked BEFORE the fight starts for 1000, alex.

[@IosLocarth]

It's called Wayward Daughter in case anyone is wondering. I got the roll but used it to get Nightbloom which is first phase

[@sable7571]

The jump in difficulty got me here. Tsukuyomi genuinely got me several times before we learned the mechanics, and her little turd of a brother had the nerve to call her a weak eikon. From this point onwards, the Expansion got seriously hardcore with their bosses and duties. The Burn, The fight with Sadu and the Requiem for Heroes fight all made me fight seriously. It's why I love Final Fantasy so much. When they sense things are stagnating, they raise the bar higher.

[@SaviorOfTheSense]

What an epic send off for her :)

[@kronosdcxvi7291]

Sounds exactly like something out of NIER 1's dlc

[@BilliamTorpedo]

Jesus I didn't realise how hard this song slaps through all the dying party members lmao

[@Alexis5224]

They set the bar so high with this Trial that I don't think I'll ever be able to enjoy another one that much. The fight is extremely fun, the music is a damn masterpiece and let's face it, even if it was the Witch of Doma, we had forgiven her... One of the most beautiful fights in the game for me.

@@kiraina25 shb trial themes are not that good dude i guess warrior of light and ruby weapon are good but the rest was underwhelming compared to the bangers sb had

[@SebArkaWolf]

This remind me some piece of Yuki Kajiura work.

[@Raynayn]

Such a neat character. I honestly don't think I hated somebody so much, and ended up sobbing so hard when they died. They really did her arc justice imo. Perhaps she deserved a kinder fate, but I do think that there had to be balance. She did so many awful things... still :/

[@adrianrybarski2256]

is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Epic

[@robytrice22]

Yet another theme from FFXIV that I want in Dissidia NT

[@aaronparshall466]

robytrice22 the stage would be great too

[@zelohendricks51]

This would be so damn good

[@virgosenpai2312]

THEY HAVE MORE FFXIV SONGS NOW! EVEN THIS ONE 😨😱. I was shocked

[@zerukan]

Got the orchestrion roll made for this song, and it is called the "Wayward Daughter"

[@hahayes2997]

THIS SONG IS FUCKING GOOOOD

Did anyone else had a party member kept saying "praise the sun" after beating ex mode

[@WayToDawn72]

InfinityTrooperSaru2 I'm pretty sure that's going to be a thing when we fight Amaterasu. We already have Susano and Tsukuyomi

I’m in literal tears. This song is a masterpiece.

This is literally one of the top 10 in the franchises history.

SO FUCKING GOOD GOD DAMNNNNN

Man ... This battle make me sad for Yotsuyu , she deserved a better life ...

[@HYPERDISTORTED]

”Tsuyu deserved a kinder fate”

[@thomascoleman2845]

Bass is on point

[@OldManDoom]

As Gosetsu is my favorite side character in all the expansions, this one was tough. I mean it was pretty powerful that she was able proclaim “I swore you’d be the first” then shredded that sniveling shit, but having affection for Gosetsu as a character an know what he had lost still made it very bitter. Although, seeing Gosetsu become a Wanderer makes me hope that we’ll get to see him again in a meaningful way

[@MrYesReally]

idk if its just me but i feel a little bit of nier vibes off this ost and i like it. overall great piece

[@SakuraSnow-]

かっこよすぎる！ 討滅戦で一番好き！

[@lHDISMAEL00]

To good 👌

[@FarelForever]

I can't deny, watching videos like this is a weird experience: 1) Huh, I almost completely forgot the music that played here, cause I was so focused on the battle 2) HOW DID I WIN THIS BATTLE?!?!?!?!?

[@hunterkat1853]

How was square enix able to make a sad song, a badass song and one that makes you WANT to fight at the same time? How do they do it with the music every...single...time

[@rhazelanadis3452]

Makes me sad this was the last primal I have done in this game. This song makes me sad because everyone who I played with stopped playing. I am planning on returning and starting new when the new expansion comes out... I’ve made so many friends in my server those past 4 years and came a little famous myself. RIP Midgardsormr server.

[@RossMirage]

Play it at x1.25 and it sounds pretty hype.

[@smileplease_91]

I hated her until this fight. I really did. I just saw her as this vile woman who easily went back to her hateful, murderous ways. Then, when Gosetsu shields her, it started to sink in... and after the battle, I was in tears. I can't do this battle now without crying afterwards. Gosetsu, wherever you are now, I hope you are finding your way and are finding peace.

[@Xking2011]

So far the lyric for the chorus is this. Chorus: Blessed moonlight gleam toward the east Wayward daughter step into the night Blessed stars, climb o’er the peaks Errant daughter, return to the night Thanks to "Richard Briesch" and Forum people.

[@Ermengile]

Quite good. Maybe you agree with me with your first ???. How about "light flee for the east" - comes together with Doma beeing East and the Sun starts in the East and stuff - maybe? :DDD

[@thiagomuniz5945]

yoo when u found out all the lyrics pls msg me !

[@Xking2011]

HerrTowangel 1st part works i always thought it was "we for the east" lol, now we just need the "where and why did part"

[@Ermengile]

Thats what we hear - may be totaly wrong xD

[@Xking2011]

HerrTowangel i think some parts are close enough

[@Sneedboy]

the funnest part about this song is that there's an English translation, done to the rhythm of it so it's not weird to sing it.
