My favourite song in XI. This was the place I'd go to just to stand around and chill, look at the scenery of the beautiful forest full of gigantic pine trees kinda like giant redwoods, listening to the wind blowing, leaves rustling, and this beautiful music in the background. This was peak atmosphere. Zi'tah was the last area I ever logged out from when I stopped playing. If I ever get to log back in, I know I'll be right at home. :') Now you're just missing The Cosmic Wheel, and the quintessential Ronfaure.

This is actually a huge fan favorite among XI playeres both past and present. I personally knew a few people who would AFK there just for the background music. It's not quite a sacred place, though it is actually adjacent to one as it leads to Ro'maeve which itself leads to the Ru'Aun gardens aka "Sky" in XI - which is MY personal favorite spot in the whole game because of the atmosphere (floating gardens way in the sky with a relaxing BGM) The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah is like this gigantic redwood forest - full of massive trees everywhere. But it's also very dark in there due to the canopy and near constant Thunderstorms. There are even Lightning Crystals scattered about, and some large rocks. Which is fitting because it also leads to The Boyhada Tree, where the Proto Crystal of Lightning resides (Ramuh's prison - each of the 8 Celestial Avatars are kept within these crystals except for Alexander and Odin which is a whole big thing and a massive part of 11's overarching plot) It might seem jarring to have such a chill theme for a place covered in Lightning but weirdly it just works. Sincerely, your resident FFXI nerd.

FFXI was escapism for me in a time when I truly needed it. I remember coming home after a stressful day at work, logging in, and having my character sit under a tree in this area. I know it sounds nerdy, but this game got me through some of the darkest times in my life and I will forever be grateful for that.

This one is so good, yes! This song just invokes a certain peacefulness, but also does sounds a bit mysterious. I just remember entering The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah for the first time, and just immediately taking in the atmosphere around me. The giant towering trees of the woods, with the slight fogginess, the crystals; all with this song playing in the background. Just a certain vibe that I hadn't felt anywhere else in the game up to that point.

Mind you, I have no experience with FFXI (I don't play MMOs) but this is one of my favorite songs of all time. I still remember how I heard it: there was a KZbin channel I found many years ago called SupraDarky (who I just looked up and is still kicking despite the old channel or at least videos still being deleted, so at least that makes my heart happy) who uploaded their favorite pieces of VGM. As a VGM fan who only grew up with Nintendo consoles, their videos were so important for broadening my horizons to some of the great VGM out there, and they even introduced me to my favorite series of video games - Shin Megami Tensei - with his uploading of the Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne song Reason Boss Battle. This song was one of the earliest I discovered from them, and the moment I heard it I was filled with such a feeling of longing and nostalgic melancholy I couldn't help but be enraptured by it. I love that it was requested on this series and that you also got to experience the beauty in this song.

This is a fan favorite. This area was one where I spent hours of my time farming silk to make my money. It was a pleasant place to be though. It’s a forest with giant giant trees with soft glowing purple crystals. The area leads to the dungeon The Boyhoda Tree (spelling may be wrong but it’s not important) but is also lead to Ro’Maeve which was a ruin that lead to a floating ruin in the sky.

This is definitely in my top 5 for this game. While some synth sound is used, I would describe the entire game's score as almost entirely orchestral in execution. Battle themes are definitely faster in beat, but most of the area themes and town themes do a good job of trying to sell a vibe. There are spooky zones, bustling sounding city zones, etc.

This is my favorite song of FFXI Allow me to paint you a picture of a dense forest with incredibly tall and gurthy redwood pines you cant even see the top of the trees, in the roadless forest you see big crystals around 1-5m tall every now and then, some bushes and little vegetation around as the sun almost doesnt reach the place as the whole place covered in a light fog most of the time but sometimes becoming very dense to the point you can only see the small shadow of the trees and a little glow of the crystals giving it a very magical mysterious feeling. I recomend you to hear the Star Onions version of this song, its an official band made for ff11 and they remix/remake ff11 popular songs

So happy someone's requested this one, it's one of if not my favorite song from FFXI, used to afk on that zone quite often for the beautiful forest scene and amazing music, it was so relaxing. I'd probably still be playing that game if they didn't make some big fundamental changes that ruined the game for many veteran players many years ago. I ended up switching for FFXIV and even though I'm a diehard fan of that game as well, it never quite managed to reach what FFXI was. Unfortunately, a game like FFXI used to be would not do well in todays gaming world. For example, back in the day you needed a 6 player party to level up, to get said party usually took hours (if not all day) of searching and sometimes when you finally got an invite, you arrived just for the party to wipe and disband. What made it even more "fun", you lost exp from dying so sometimes you ended the day with less exp than you had in the morning. Things like this made everything in the game feel like a massive achievement and accomplishing some of the more difficult things together with others made many lifelong friends. The combat system in the game was a lot slower and often put a lot more emphasis on strategy and timing than in your modern MMOs or other games. This left you with a lot of downtime in leveling parties, so people were often chatting to pass the time, which enhanced the heavy emphasis it had on working together and socializing. English is not my first language, I studied it at school but was always bad at it, till I started to play FFXI. My desire to communicate with the other people in the game often had me sitting next to an open dictionary while playing just so I understood and could respond to the people I played with (This was before google translate). Went on a bit of a tangent here but oh well, this game and its music just evokes so many fond memories :)

Many people put this as their favorite theme from the game. I don't personally, but it's still a great track. When I was playing in the mid 2000s (relatively early in the game's long life) people didn't spend a whole lot of time in this zone normally. Aside from a handful of missions and quests that involved coming here briefly, the zone was usually just a "pass through" zone on your way to another place - usually either Sky, which was an endgame area where you would fight god-like monsters, or The Boyahda Tree, home to Fafnir the dragon who would appear every few days and also required large numbers of max-level people to kill. Even so, people remember the zone especially fondly, in large part due to the music I think.

Khazam, Mhaura, Selbina, all amazing and memorable tunes as well. I can talk about FFXI music all day long.

Don't be lulled by the peacefulness of the music. Back in the day, this zone (a forest with HUGE ancient trees) was actually a rather dangerous place to be in, at-level. Lots of goblins, some golems IIRC, elementals, and I forget what else. All dangerous stuff, and the area was kinda mazy as well. It led to a huge tree where a mega-boss dragon lived at the top, and also it led to an ancient shrine with a teleporter that sent you up to the floating sky islands.

I've spent so many hours listening to this song since the first day I stepped into that forest. I always eventually come back to this track. So mysterious, peaceful, serene... One of my all time favorites. Ever. This song is special. I can tell, like me, so many people are taken back to that feeling. And I will say although I absolutely love FFXIV and think that it has one of the best OSTs out there, FFXI was something special. I think FFXIV is a better overall game without a doubt. But I don't feel a part of that world like I did with FFXI. The world immersion was on another level and I think Naoshi Mizuta is a huge part of that.

I commented on another XI video that Ronfaure was all I knew prior to this channel and whoops no, I heard this song elsewhere. Immediately recognized that melody and I've heard the airship song as well. Now I wonder if there are some other things from XI I'm forgetting or not realizing were from it. This song is so lovely anyway.

Looking forward to when (if) you get to that one!

I haven't personally listened to much of the FF11 OST in a while, since I usually enjoyed listening to the tracks as I went through the game, & had the music accompany sights & environments. So revisiting this all as you discover it fresh is akin to a long lost friend at my front door. This is great. Side note: The Sanctuary aspect refers to a woodland sanctuary.

Taking the chocobo to Boyahada Tree for parties 45-55, i'd always hope the chocobo song would end before I zoned so i could listen to this on the way. Actually bought this CD back in the day so I could listen to this, Gravaton and Altepa desert.
