Final Fantasy XIV - Footfalls | COVER【Ariah`】

Happy Endwalker launch day!!! I hope y'all enjoy this cover of Footfalls, the theme from the Endwalker trailer, that I decided to sing super last minute. I can confidently say that every waking minute of free time the past three days has been spent recording, mixing, and editing for this, so I'm very excited to be sharing this!
This game genuinely means so much to me and Soken is such an inspiration as a composer and as a human being. I can't wait to hear all of the new music in Endwalker! Forge ahead, friends!
A huge shoutout and thank you to ‪@Huskybythegeek‬ who gave me permission to use his absolutely epic performance of this song as an accompaniment. This wouldn't have been possible for me without it!

You nailed Stormblood part spectacularly! Especially the unison part. Great cover 👌

[@AriahMusica]

Thank you so much! 💜

[@AfremhLune]

3:22 I legit cried, you are incredible lady

[@Akami_Exe]

That moment you started singing "Our song of hope" I crumbled and you broke me. Absolutely fantastic! Amazing cover!!!

[@AriahMusica]

That means a lot to me! That section is absolutely my favorite part of the song.

[@cgcerezo91]

Absolutely amazing rendition! Sing on, Songbird of Light!

[@AriahMusica]

Thank you so much!! I always leap at the chance to do choir work! 💜💜

[@aleckzonyoutube2438]

I got chills during the Heavensward part

Epic cover! Searched for Footfalls covers and found yours, and it sounds great! I like how you used Husky's version as the bgm! Great job!

[@AriahMusica]

Thank you so much!! Husky's version was a life saver for this!

[@ElpisVT]

Oh my god, this song has such diverse vocal styles and you 100% nailed every single one of them! This is amazing, nice job! :D

[@AriahMusica]

This means a lot to me, thank you so much!!

[@marszanzibar]

I've had this basically on repeat for months now! Your work is absolutely amazing and you are criminally underrated. The note you hit at 5:17 floods my brain with the goody good chemicals every single time!

[@OrbitalFrameGaming]

Your vocal range is absolutely insane. Love it!

[@nikovallenius3871]

Still, hands down, the best Footfalls-cover there is. You're doing amazing work!

[@AHylianWarrior]

Absolutely amazing cover, probably my favourite I've found so far (and I've listened to a lot). Going to be sharing this video around, absolutely

[@AriahMusica]

Thank you so much, I appreciate your support!! 💜

[@Narrendor]

brilliant work!!! The harmony at the end is my favourite part of the original and your take on it is fabulous!

[@fgfh10004]

Oh my gosh the Song of Hope caused a fit of tears Incredible ♥♥

I have heard a lot of people cover this but this is by far the best version I have heard

[@godivaodin6220]

This is absolutely magnificent.

[@Ujames1978Rises]

Wow Ariah! :-0 You truly poured your heart and soul into this cover, and it definitely shines through! 'Thumbs Up' for being your own backing singer and for @Husky's super-funky guitar riffs and extra cool wolf hat, hahaha! And all of the talent and effort on display in the mixing and the editing proves that you're much more than just an incredible voice! Hwaiting! ^_^

[@AriahMusica]

Thanks so much for listening! I definitely poured a little bit of extra care into the mix for this one, so it's nice to hear that it paid off! ♥

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍 before my favorite theme was dragonsong and answer, but this theme surpasses all the others, endwalker and magnificent as an extension, this song and especially the end interpreted by Amanda Achen Keenan, I hope I am not mistaken ... and beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ ❤️❤️, I really liked the mix in the last challenge. and you sing well, bravo nice cover 👍

Thank you so much!!! 💜💜

[@user-kq9zu8gg4i]

うまい！

[@willowwisp2420]

Couple things. There's a noticeable vibrato in some places where there shouldn't be (though you could argue it changes it up in a good way so that's more of a preference thing). Your backing vocals are too low compared to your lead, so pump the volume up on those a bit. You also seem to be holding back when you sing a few times, and I think that detracts from it; I say be more bold, you've got a good and strong singing voice. You nailed the shadowbringers section on the lead singing part, and im glad I had headphones on for that. Others have said it but I'm also glad you added in the hymn of the dragons. Overall pretty amazing. I got halfway through the first verse before I decided I needed headphones for this. Very promising content I gotta say. Hope you keep up the good work (and maybe do Sophia's theme wink wink nudge nudge
