Neath Dark Waters (Amaurot) - FFXIV: Shadowbringers [Rain/Thunder 1hr]

Amaurot is an emotional scar. It roils with memory, and pain, and nostalgia. It is an echo of a man who lost everything only to gain a single moment of clarity that his oldest friend may remember.
...yet the aether still lingers, reflecting those emotions. As the last of the unsundered falls, and the rains have ceased to reveal another beautiful day... Here in the depths, neath dark waters, the sky weeps as another emotional wound cuts across as like a thunderstorm, a heart held fragile and broken.

It may be strange, but I’m actually glad that I played this years after it was current content. Having no other players around added so much to the atmosphere of this place. ❤

[@Neurogenesis1251]

You could also switch instance

[@Dragongard]

Not strange at all, i stopped playing for months due to endwalker having the same problems

[@shouheiakagi2583]

Lol, I played it after a few weeks after release date, and most of the people were gone by then, at least the speed runners. There are only a few places that I am happy to just sit and relax to and look at the game view. This is one of them but the other is at "The Peaks" The Arms of Meed (near Ala Ghiri)

[@ShadowmancerLord]

I mean I guess two is "years" but seems kinda weird to say it that way lol

[@Danteezy]

not a main town so it wasnt alot of players running around there anyway

[@regialdamanita8392]

After the WoL finished his quest here and the Bismarks breathe begins to wane, The waters of the tempest begin to fill in the void once more. What we are hearing is the waters seeping back to cover the reflection of Amaurot.

[@valdenv]

Nah, that's the sound of me crying after reading this post. Sorry. T_T

[@klabence]

An another game would call it: City of Tears

[@NightBane345]

I still come back to the area in the game, just to relax, even more so after Endwalker.

[@JaxomNautilus]

It's a really nostalgic area now.

[@llKirosll]

you're not alone. I like to sit atop the buildings ^^

[@HarunaEventide]

Dedicated crafting zone still Peaceful yet melancholy

[@WaxNeverwane]

@@HarunaEventide I never noticed, but does it have a summoning bell?

[@Tsuba_Nick]

it has been my home aetheryte even since the Shadowbringers quest...

Emet-Selch doing some paperwork in his office.

[@Koop1337]

As someone who suffers from tinnitus but also loves FFXIV music your mixes really hit the spot for me. Thank you!

[@JaxomNautilus]

I'm so glad! Thank you!

[@HarunaEventide]

Fun Fact about the Aetherite Sanctuary zone It's one of the smallest sanctuaries in the game if not the smallest, You lose the Sanctuary Zone effect by crossing the various lines outside of the square on the map

[@Nyghtgirl27]

Raining in Amaurot? Those are the tears of Amaurotians, crying cause they know it’s not the real Amaurot.

[@JaxomNautilus]

Poor fake Amaurotines. T__T

[@ZachLane89]

More like the bubble slowly leaking lmao

[@rosieweaselby]

They’re all my tears

[@gigatrust1284]

This song sparked my interest and subsequent renewal of my FFXIV subscription.

[@JaxomNautilus]

Welcome back!

:)

[@johnlicht6532]

Best place in the whole game. i remember when I first got here it blew my mind.

[@MarthSR]

But will the rains cease, so we can be graced by another beautiful day?

[@JaxomNautilus]

Always.

[@linx678]

Brb I'm going to go cry forever now.

[@Scruffed]

They will, but we won't be there to see it...

[@arunpharyn1404]

I just came home from work and saw this. Put a smile on my face :DD

[@JaxomNautilus]

:D

[@corbeaudejugement]

the description broke me. don't do me like that man

[@JaxomNautilus]

[@GoodnightMoon4]

This was *literally* the subject of my dream the day I'm writing this ( I dreamt of working in amaurot during a rainy/stormy day but it was a boring every-day/work type of dream lol), and having it appear in my auto-play/recommended is really freaking me out.

[@dimitriosgladio059]

AWESOME!!! Definitely my favorite area in the game!

[@velaskgoodbye3803]

Your mixes will always be my favourite.

[@JaxomNautilus]

Aw, thanks. :)

[@ZeldadragonBlade]

I actually just made my own Amaurot themed apartment, too. 👀 not completely satisfied with it, but I am content with how it came out. 😌 it looks nice.

[@xAkito]

YOOOOO THANKS

[@JaxomNautilus]

GREAT! Glad to hear it!

[@nobuyumi8029]

Woah O.O was not expecting this one! Amazing!

[@JaxomNautilus]

Glad you enjoyed it! :D

[@lunausagi8495]

Heya Jaxom and gang! I hope you guys are doing well. I look forward to seeing you guys play through Endwalker

[@JaxomNautilus]

We're looking forward to it, as well! See you in the comments! :)

[@RainFeatherYT]

I wish i could have given him a hug 😢 this city was a creation of love, of memory, of those he could yet save. No different than the WoL/D

[@loseter4774]

Thanksssssssss... 😘😘

[@JaxomNautilus]

You are welcommmmme. :)

[@Enrisanity]

🥺

[@mpxz999]

If you could make the image (and water mark) move around every once in a while, OLED screens who accidentally leave this running for the full hour, would really appreciate it~ For your future works, anyways! Thank you for the vid~

[@JaxomNautilus]

You are welcome! I'll definitely take that under consideration. Maybe slowly zooming in or out on the background, or even adding a very light fog across the screen. I could probably drop the title and game name initally and pop it back in every five minutes or so.

[@AyantanoAzem]

Pls make 10h version of this

[@bobababo4024]

💜

[@litewave5186]

hey this music is cool and all but HOW IS IT RAINING UNDERWATER?! Amaurotine magicks?

[@JaxomNautilus]

All the Amaurotine magicks! Haha, actually, my headcanon to make this work was in the description of the video: what remained of Emet-selch's consciousness in this recreated version of Amaurot felt Elidibus's passing. The creation magic reaponded to his consciousness' emotions and a thunderstorm formed.

[@trustybeans7963]

Do you have a link or anything for the picture? Would love to have it as a animated desktop background

[@JaxomNautilus]

I borrowed the picture from the game itself, and the rain pattern near the bottom is an edited video that runs on top of that picture. So no link or anything, unfortunately. :(
