1:57 this part of the song is absolutely insane

[@tyty8484]

Its very random and out of left but it fits perfectly. Soken in a nutshell. Also seems like this song has some very special meaning to him.

[@Iris_Florafawn]

Lost City of Amdapor was already my favourite dungeon in the game. The music, the aesthetics, the enemy designs and bosses....this, though. This takes all that and boosts it to another level of incredible. And my first run yielded me the Kuribu card, and rolled a 99 on the Morpho minion. Thanks for getting the music up so quickly!

[@danielgalvez1115]

As somebody who only started playing during Shadowbringers... do you know how weird it is to see the old Machinist? It had CAST TIMES, like WHAT??

[@lukoscreyden]

Thinking about how the game has changed over the years is crazy. Like, how you had to level multiple classes to unlock certain jobs. Cross class skills. Cleric stance... and the more recent tank stance. All kinds of things.

[@danielgalvez1115]

@@lukoscreyden I heard about leveling multiple classes for one job, but cleric stance?? Whew lad

[@MBOmnis]

Yep, they've been removing most of the jobs' intricacies and depth ever since Stormblood.

[@danielgalvez1115]

@@MBOmnis I don't know if I would call cast times on a class based around firing a gun "intricacies"... but I have heard about the gradual destruction of DRK and uh, that's rough

[@MBOmnis]

​@@danielgalvez1115 You're taking one example you don't like and basing your dismissal on it. It goes way beyond MCH's casting bars (which DID make it unique, like it or not)

[@astrag6244]

I hope we can one day get official piano sheets for this... it's soooo pretty!

[@Sky-de7oy]

Music really can be this wonderful huh? let there be music forever..

[@FarZeroDark]

This piece is so underrated! The vibe I had in this dungeon stuck with me for 3 years.

[@user-xv8tr5to7j]

This is the last dungeon I ran with someone I loved with the deepest part of my soul.. what a beautifully tragic song befitting for a painful end.. Take care of eachother the best you can..

@@commentingchannel9776 I wish it were something that i could easily package and relay in a short amount of text. It is an immersive experience - to connect personalities outside of physical contact. the physical aspect and distraction is out of the way and all there is is a mutual enjoyment of the content as a whole and, in special ways, meetings of like minds.

Wow this is... incredibly beautiful.

[@Sn0wShepherd]

Now THIS is Final Fantasy liquid musical pearl essence. Rock me Amadeus Soren!!! :D

[@aishaclanclan633]

as a tank. helping a group of three people who clearly had never done this dungeon was one of the best game experiences ive had. like generally this place is hard but in a fairly fun and intresting way. like the only boss thats fairly easy is the third one. also this is the best dungeon song in the game hands down

[@papasfritas3853]

Today I had a dream with this Music theme playing at the background. It took me awhile to finally realize it was from this 💖

[@kaltadesmon]

wow... what a beautiful piece....

[@WineRedEchos]

maybe it's the song, and the rain, but this dungeons opening area always reminded me of bermucia in FF9, the antitower as well. but this place moreso.

[@SparkySummers]

Hiya from Sparky. Rip that first Bane

[@EvraeFrelia]

I just got this orchestrion scroll. I just noticed it reminds me a bit of the Via Infinito from FFX. Mostly the piano but still. Love this song it’s gorgeous.

[@TheBonkleFox]

They warned us. They told us what was coming and we didn't listen.

[@mrludicolo]

I thought that Holy at the end was perfectly in time with the song and it just made watching this video all the better. Love this piece and need an orchestrion for it!

[@MrMoonstep]

wow the feels are pretty stronk on this one .. ty for uploading it, I need this so bad on my orchestrion ;_;

[@moderatelymoody9943]

barZu I just bought it for 3mil, no regrets

[@ReadReborn]

Such a brilliant piece of music!

[@melaniehoyle5483]

This is known on the ingame orchestrion list as The Ancient City.

[@teamfruitsalad7335]

I wanna choreograph a figure skating routine to this.

[@trollingisasport]

Beautiful track. Helps me fall asleep as I play.

[@KalinaHitanaVTuber]

From what I've gathered, "The Scars of Battle" actually refers to the original dungeon's music, not this one. Basing that on the Orchestrion Roll I got from here first time playing the original dungeon's music rather than this one. It's a real shame too, because this music is just so beautiful and I really wanted it on my Orchestrion Log =(

[@MekkahDee]

+Kalina Hitana Yup you're right, I just got it drop from the dungeon last night and assumed it was for HM, thanks for pointing it out!

[@KalinaHitanaVTuber]

+Mekkah Dee No problem, happy to help ^^

[@Xnamepar]

+Kalina Hitana dont they have the same music

[@KalinaHitanaVTuber]

+Rpx Icagon the two themes are indeed similar to each other, but no, Amdapor Hard Mode is a different track to The Scars of Battle

[@destruction42k]

BTW Both the Adaptor thames sound really good slowed down by 50% Via the youtube option. Give it a listen and tell me what you think!

[@goldrush5639]

reminds me of omega ruins/via purifico, tbh. same atmosphere between ampador and omega ruins too

[@eightex9437]

i didnt regret spending 700k for this orchestrion

[@Celestiially]

Only 700k? You lucky dog.

[@pineapplezztv7674]

i come back every so often to listen to this. i dont know what crack they were on when they made it but if it makes something this beautiful i need some lol

[@gbzmr]

I didnt think the original couldnt get any better - but i'd be wrong.

[@jhadencrowley8800]

I was SO waiting for this! Here, have a like! ;)

[@athraxis]

I don't think I'll ever have the same love for this game as I did in HW. :(

[@KrazyBean14]

I prefer this dungeons over The Antitower. So good.

Same!

+KrazyBean14 I think the only reason why I don't like Antitower is having one of those god-awful healer check bosses...Fuck Ziggy.

I still remember the first time I ran this dungeon and how me and some sorry try hards were trying to speed run. We still hold the world record. One of my most favorite dungeons to this day. Shame they don't make the same quality of haunting yet brilliant music. I miss this game but not enough to bother returning to it

[@ychabod]

What's the name of this song ? In which OST can we find it ? I totally love it

[@naif9464]

Amdapor... home of the refulgent white mages. Always love to run this as a white mage.

[@klendathusfinest4126]

The Orchestrion Roll should be titled Unfortunate Eggs...

Demasiadamente Agradável

Still beautiful

[@johnbolan3158]

Even though hard mode theme is different to The Scars of Battle, I think it still called that. it's the same song just different and rightly so better.

[@yeastori]

Reminds me of Shrade's Encore from Aquarion Evol

[@Salt_Mage]

Official name is "The Ancient City"

[@Salt_Mage]

The song title is The Ancient City on the OST. Not the in-game Dungeon.

It wasn't a year ago it was like 3 months ago, which wouldn't suprise me when they where making the new rig for 14, hence why it ended up being fixed when they loaded the model and was like "Why is the foot broken".

Has a Granado Espada vibe to it. That said, the soundtrack was really the only thing good about that game.

[@weeabootytamagucci1242]

is that kingdom hearts Im hearing?

[@dlazyace9116]

ok. im scared. But i asked Chat GPT to help me find this theme called The Ancient City and...i'll jus paste what it said. To find The Ancient City orchestrion roll in Final Fantasy XIV Online, you will need to obtain it from the Shadow of Mhach raid series. Specifically, it is a rare drop from the final boss of the Dun Scaith raid, which is part of the Shadow of Mhach raid series. To access the Dun Scaith raid, you will first need to complete the main scenario quests for the Heavensward expansion and unlock the quest "We Have Begun" in Idyllshire. This quest will lead you to the entrance of the raid. Once inside Dun Scaith, you will need to defeat the final boss, Deathgaze. The Ancient City orchestrion roll is a rare drop from this boss, so it may take several runs before you obtain it. Be sure to have a high enough item level and a solid understanding of the mechanics of the raid to increase your chances of success. Good luck, and I hope this helps!

[@TheLeon1704]

that reminds me of the intro background songs from a couple of Hentai

[@AlexSuns]

song is great until the choppy 1:57 part

Wdym that's the best part
