FINAL FANTASY XIV: Quest Accepted/Completed Jingles Motif Comparison (UPDATED FOR 7.0 DAWNTRAIL)

This is an updated version of my previous video, comparing the musical motivic content within the quest jingles/sound effects in Final Fantasy XIV in each expansion with the original track that the motif originates from, displaying the alterations made to the themes to generate the jingles.
Note: A Realm Reborn jingles were not included because they seem to be original.
Intro 0:00
Heavensward 0:09
Stormblood 0:45
Shadowbringers 1:14
Endwalker 1:47
Island Sanctuary 2:18
Dawntrail 2:53
Thank you! 3:24

the heavensward ones will never leave me. carried so much weight

[@MaxLebled]

I am very pleasantly surprised at how in-depth this video goes beyond being a simple listicle of sorts. Thank you!!!! Great work!

[@mrfact9994]

Heavensward always makes me think of The 12 Days of Christmas. Five Golden riiiiings

[@chabon31]

You included the island sanctuary ones, you absolute legend The new dawntrail quests jingles sound very pirate-like for me (i love it)

[@FatalHog]

Literally the most depressing shit just happened in the story The quest Music-

[@shadowraith10]

The cast: in tears from something in a cutscene. The Quest Complete theme:

[@r1zmy]

other quest jingles: short epic music string shadowbringers quest jingle: "hey kids, wanna know what the early 2000s feel like?"

[@TheIvoryDingo]

The Dawntrail quest accept kinda reminds me of Luffy's "Eye catcher" theme (that plays before/after an ad break from One piece.

This is awesome. Thanks for the work. Heavensward will always remain my favorite.

SB complete is definitely the best of them all

[@EtherealOblivion]

💯

[@pittfail5896]

Definitely, I look back on this era the most fondly.

[@TheVivi13]

Stormblood quest complete always feels so good. Endwalker is almost there too. I think SHB or HW have best accept, I can't pick which though.

[@Alcadria]

The Endwalker quest complete is actually the part after what you listed "Tales of loss and fire and faith" both follow the same melody "Stories sown along the way, tales of loss and fire and faith" but the quest complete is absolutely the latter and not the former.

[@commandercors]

and the shadowbringers part, i also took it from later in the song "May our journey never end."

[@luckymango636]

Love the Stormblood completion. So triumphant

[@YellowMage]

Dawntrail QA be like ♪ London Bridge is falling down ♪

Liked and subbed man, this is what I need in my recs

[@LMitchellAnimation]

Very thoroughly done this is amazing thank you for this video

[@Penamesolen]

Funny coincidence, in Norway we have a TV-show called "Around Norway", and its intro has a part that is very similar to Dawntrail's Quest Accepted jingle. Now that I see where the jingle is actually from, it is more a funny coincidence, but it left me confused for a while, haha. Here is one of the version of the series intro, I timed it to just before the melody is similar: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqSokJx7mqh-pqs

HW and SB jingles will always be special to me because of how epic the stories and music is to start getting you into the real meat of FFXIV

[@Danothyus1]

the stormblood quest complete sounds to me like "agora eu vou pra lá", which in portuguese means "now i'm going there", which imo fits completing a quest and going to do something else.

[@vain_x]

Love this!

[@rayoflight1920]

Man I love Heavensward

[@LysLilyRose]

Amazing video thank you! Also i thought i'd let you know that the endwalker quest completed motif is that of later in the song when the lyrics goes "tales of loss and fire and faith" also heard in the titlescreen for endwalker

[@Iroaaas]

Heavensward still the best

[@pittfail5896]

Stormblood completion makes me feel like I just completed a great deed. I miss those years 😢

[@Qamikace]

I believe the ARR jingles are loosely based on its trailer music, like the Myths of the Realm soundtrack.

[@jamesaditya5254]

It's amazing how the empire took the local hymn/song and adopted it into their propaganda, and I'm pretty much a victim of this as its a very catchy tune and I find myself occasionally hum the song of oppression and colonialism

[@josephrichardson7254]

Maybe it's because I've just spent the last bit only playing Dawntrail, but the Quest Accept and Complete jingle are the most Quest ass jingles I've heard since ARR. I don't think that makes it a bad thing, but it didn't even register that they were motifs from the main song until now. Even Shadowbringers didn't really click as to what it was, but it was much more unique compared to the others; DT just kinda feels like it's always been there.

[@InvisibleInque]

The DT quest pick-up jingle is just “London Bridge is Falling Down.”

[@GamingRobioto]

I shout "My fair lady!" everytime I accept a quest

[@INEED2GOHOMENOW]

funny that i recognize all of these but wouldntve been able to tell you off the top of my head that different expacs have different quest jingles

[@tigeryasou3860]

stormblood quest finish theme is the same as "with you in the dark" from deltarune lmao

Played this game for 10 years and never noticed this! Thank you for opening my .. ears.. to this! Wasnt super fond of the new DT quest jingles, but this made me appreciate them a lot more.

[@ToaChronix]

how did I not make the connection for any of these lmao

[@Synthpopper]

A few are understandable, but missing "ONE BRINGS SHADOW ONE BRINGS THE LIGHT"... like how xD

[@TheVivi13]

Do you actually not make the connection even with Stormblood quest complete?

[@iantaakalla8180]

Especially considering Rhalgr’s Reach is that song and you can time that jingle to the correct spot easily?

[@Spenfen]

The closer one for the Heavensward quest complete jingle would be the first vocal line of Dragonsong

[@Rides1283man]

@@Spenfen That's actually less close. The second phrase of the piano intro that I've used is literally a note-for-note identity
