Final Fantasy XIV - Heavensward Music Best of Mix

[@ajayrious]

Also contains 2.0 music, but i guess we can call this the "Final Fantasy XIV free trial with unlimited playtime up to level 60 which includes the critically acclaimed expansion Heavensward" mix.

If you can get the time, you should. Shadowbringers is at least on par with Heavensward, and many say better :)

[@trigunner6968]

This is my All-time favorite expansion in FFXIV, the story & music is just sooo great for me 💖

[@thegallantrayku2677]

Revenge Twofold is still my favorite dungeon boss theme with Insatiable as a very close second

[@xyphose5021]

at 1:32:23 that was one of my favorite zones because of that beautiful music, and there was quirky music in the dungeon located their as well I really loved

[@Zasben]

My favorite expansion so far. I love the atmosphere, the music, the characters; heroes and enemies. Stormblood is great, but I don't get the same feeling from Heavensward.

[@fennecmartin4926]

Preach it!

[@zhaya5255]

It's the same for me. I've done all the patches up to the current, but right from the start it felt... shallow. I remember discovering the areas in Heavensward, getting to know the characters and the story and it seemed so much more full of life and depth than Stormblood. The whole dragon culture with its history, myths and language was fascinating. With Stormblood it feels like it's the same story told twice and my favourite character ended up being Zenos, because he seemed the only one with some depth in his desperate search for some deep meaning... I understand that search! ^^;

[@noxerator1]

I loved Heavensward but i believe Stormblood is also at the same level comparing to the story depth. It just gives a different feeling, doesn't mean its a bad a story.

[@shiroreos]

definitely same for me!

[@deeplydepressedcat1642]

HW was more fantasy, SB is more real... I disliked that personaly, but it's FFXIV, it's all together mixed

yeah can agree with this one HW was the best expansion in FFXIV for me. Stromblood is good but the story isn't for me and not as epic as HW. I litterally crie when Haurchefant die, Stromblood doesn't have character that as good as him.

No, that's Eternal Winds from FF3. It was the world map theme. The song in the ShadowBringers trailer was a redention of that song. Aparently, there's going to be a lot of callbacks to FF3 in that expansion. Yoshi-P even made unlocking the Crystal Tower Raid easier because of this.
