[@Cue-Ball.]

Confirmed to be both composed and arranged by Saya Yasaki! Marking the first time a day theme has 100% been composed by someone that isn't Soken.

[@LightKeyDarkBlade]

And it's my favourite area theme in Dawntrail, that also shares its melodies with the Worqor Zormor dungeon and the Valigarmanda trial. Yasaki just keeps exceeding my expectations.

[@netoak7]

Im Peruvian and as a bit of trivia, Urqu, Urco, Orco, etc, in quechua means mountain, and Pacha land, so you can say this is the land of mountains. Even if there are a few things out of place, I really love this type of representation in media.

[@lordsaladito]

La verdad, me sorprende que hayan puesto quechua, creo que es de las primeras veces que veo que un juego lo hace, solo me acuerdo de overwatch 2 con illari pero de ahí nada mas

[@netoak7]

@@lordsaladito Es más que nada por falta de investigación creo, además hay varios tipos de quechua, el puneño, cuzqueño, chileno etc, aunque al final quedó piola. Tmb, pasa id y región para jugar, creo eres el tercer gato peruano conozco juega esto.

[@zerosolis6664]

Thats so cool because I'm pretty sure thats basically what they call this place. I love Dawntrail man.

[@randogai2915]

As a Peruvian I cried being here

[@lordsaladito]

Yeah but i didnt like that they didnt say: "habla pe causa" every 3 phrases.

[@SushiBurritoPapi]

Explain why this made you cry for being Peruvian

[@toilachon]

@@SushiBurritoPapi i'm not a peruvian but i did a little bit a googling when they revealed Urqopacha concept art last year, this is very similar to the real life Andean landscape, rainbow mountains, people living along the mountainside, growing agave fruits and coffee beans, Machu Picchu ruins dotting the landscape. Now Dawntrail is live this zone probably reminds OP of his home.

[@BryanCarthell]

I've always been curious: when SE tries to emulate a real world culture or place, how well do they do?

[@lordsaladito]

@@BryanCarthell for peruvian landscape, they did really close, but for stuff like the dishes they didnt added that much

[@MaulusRS]

1:22 peak 1:42 PERFECTION

[@ladyopheliagames]

Is anyone else getting OG Final Fantasy vibes from Dawntrail music so far? My youthful gamer child is havbing nostalgic moments of older FF's while listening to this new expansion music (TY for posting these!)

[@extinctbaryonyx]

I get a little bit of Chrono Cross ost vibes too

[@alliaxandromeda]

I’m thinking more of the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles spin-offs with this one

[@velzoya]

Same! And I don't really know where this comes from because Danwtrail music doesn't remind me of a specific FF game soundtrack (it's really the vibes)

[@MemoristCed]

It doesn't sound even a little like the chiptune overworld theme from FF1. But it does sound very nice.

[@velzoya]

@@MemoristCed Actually, you can hear the prelude melody at some points in the song so that certainly helps with nostalgia :D

[@TheLQGaming]

My favorite theme of the zones in Dawntrail.

[@Mykenai]

Right?!

[@LucianDarth]

2:00 I fell in love with this bit and I had to look it up Edit: it reminds me a lot of Chrono Cross

[@futomimii]

oh my god yeah... the overall song gave me the same feelings as Chronomantique when I first heard it!

[@Steakiii]

heck yes, this part immediately reminded me of Corridors of Time at its 0:54 mark

[@Gotabox]

A little bit of Xenoblade vibes as well

[@secondhandninja4441]

This is my favourite part too!

[@woljay9362]

Alot of this expansion reminds me of CC tbh

[@N0VANT0]

Strong nier replicant vibe

[@KKiryu]

FINALLY. I thought I became crazy.

[@Pinkie3Point14159]

Right!! Hills of radiant wind

[@kiwipops]

YESSS especially at 2:00

[@kiritolor4810]

@N0VANT0 yeah I hear radiant wind and sea front for sure here I knew I wasn't going crazy.

[@fazlox]

I told my friend to get out of the sanctuary and listen to it because I knew he'd agree that it sounded like it came straight out of NieR

[@dacienvegas2712]

Music from Los Andes, this made me so emotional.

[@MrMiQT]

This gives heavy NieR Replicant plains music

[@jude_210]

first thing that came to my mind

[@hideharu-xiii8852]

I loved this area and music so much. I’m just a white guy but it was so cool being in this area because I just knew this was straight up Peru. And if I’m feeling excited being here, then I couldn’t imagine what the Peruvian and South American fans were feeling. It was so amazing.

[@Professor_Utonium_]

Why did race have to play into this at all? 😂

[@hideharu-xiii8852]

@@Professor_Utonium_ I didn’t really mean to. I was trying to (very poorly) say that it was so cool being in this area even though I’m so far removed from the culture. So for people who are Peruvian, it must have been indescribable. But yeah I worded this very poorly.

[@Cue-Ball.]

While not directly from Perú I am South American and I can say Urqopacha, Kozama'uka and Yak T'el are really well done! The architecture of Tuliyollal with all its steepness too. That being said someone has to tell some of the devs there are more latin countries aside from Mexico tho, we do NOT all eat tacos, heck not even Mexicans eat that much taco according to people I know. That's a tangent tho. As for the music Urqopacha and Kozama'uka's music feels very nice in style when it comes to music here (especially the 91 dungeon theme!) but Yak T'el's music doesn't feel South American at all, feels like Soken was trying too hard to make Raktika 2 music-wise.

[@Professor_Utonium_]

@@hideharu-xiii8852 Oh, I never responded to this but meant to. Sorry for the initial confusion on my part. I get what you're saying now. Being part of shared hype over something like that must have been pretty cool.

[@hideharu-xiii8852]

@@Cue-Ball. Yeah I agree with Yak T’el. It’s a great track, but definitely not South American. It’s great to hear from a South American native’s perspective that they did a great job for the most part though!

[@Bupernox]

1:42 paints such a vivid picture of taking off and soaring into the sky, it's unreal.

[@astrum_remi]

Holy this is a banger of a area theme

[@nirau]

First time I heard this music in the trailer couldn't stop listening to one bit! And now we have a full song, I'm so happy :)

[@EDDYDLOVE]

Me siento orgulloso de que haya tantas referencias de mi querido PERÚ en esta zona del este juego... Emocionado ☺️🇵🇪

[@lordsaladito]

Causa, pasa nombre y server para agregar, necesito mas amigos que hables español jaajaja. Eso si, tmbn lo unico que falta es la comida y lit ya estaria

[@viridiangreen2457]

Radiant winds from nier autómata omg

[@Nyghtgirl27]

Nier Replicant

[@crystalcat64]

Hearing this theme in the launch trailer was fucking amazing.

[@dannyvongola3505]

I remember i was high when i first got to this zone and ohy mgooodddd it was amazing.. i love urqopacha..

[@thelastbeluga]

If anyone has played the "Trails" series from Falcom this OST gives off crazy Nord Highlands vibes from CS1/2.

[@shirosaki97]

It definitely does, the first thing I thought of was Skies of a Strange Land and Land of Blue Skies from CS1's soundtrack. That along with the geography being just my kinda thing has made this by far my favourite area in the game. :D

[@hideharu-xiii8852]

Bro I got the same vibes. Felt like I was riding horseback with Gaius all over again

[@etchyasketch2851]

Yes yes yes, theres been a few tracks this expabsion that has made me think of Falcom, and hey, thats not a bad thing.

[@andrewmullens9715]

There's something about this track that gives me a sense of fear/hightened alertness/sadness, yet it too tells me that everything is gonna be ok.

[@xerza12x22]

Because of your video , i bought the expansion❤❤

[@vector2680]

as someone who first heard this in the benchmark, I can never unhear the mining and crafting sounds XD

[@francisccsabaherpai7068]

I can hear bits of 'Dedicated to moonlight'(Memphina's theme) in this and i love it

[@yannobzh]

Walking in this zone feels so good!!

[@HORSEMANFOREVER]

Wild Arms vibes, and i am here for it.

[@woljay9362]

YESSSSS!!!! I thought I was the only one!

[@Rondart]

WILD ARMS LETSGO

[@FarlandChen]

My favorite theme in Dawntrail!

[@wildheaven1827]

Ah yes the peruvian flute bands

[@lanisolfire5692]

music this expansion is top tier

[@dreamer6737]

Easily one of my favorite FF14 zones now🎉

[@carlh564]

You clearly haven't gathered mats for all your crafters here 😂

[@Quester91]

2:00 this part is so beautiful

[@Myda-1]

This zone and music are perfect ❤

[@dorcusss3693]

I was just made aware of this song. I don't play MMOs but damn... those songs are so good.

[@Kinslayu]

This song is legendary good

[@flamingreddeoxys]

This oddly reminds me of something I’d hear in Xenoblade Chronicles 3

[@lukethefluke7]

THIS, this is what I wanted dravania to be so much. Its perfect.

[@williek08472]

This is just beautiful 😍

[@jacobclemmons4769]

All these people saying Nier Replicant vibes have obviously never heard the Nier Gestalt soundtrack.

[@TheRadikarAuthor]

This music reminds me of Moonlighter, a game with similar aesthetics to Urqopacha. It's been a few years since last I played Moonlighter, but entering this zone and hearing this music made me want to play Moonlighter all over again.

[@JasonBeo]

I can't tell you how much I love Soken using a Rhodes piano in this one.

[@Gaymerjock420]

This starts out like the wild arms intro, but all like song of storms about it. Then goes into nier replicant first grassy area ish. I LOVE IT

[@crescent077]

While i am waiting for hunts in that area i generally go far away from aetheryte to listen that amazing ost. It is so beautiful…

[@gigasupportmain]

It weirdly reminds me of some Atelier games

[@phoenixiia]

Oh so that’s where I was getting the vibes from. I walked into this zone and was like “wait, why does this sound like something I’ve heard before but haven’t as well”

[@atelierbagur3831]

THATS WHAT I WAS SAYIN. Parts of this song reminds me of tracks from Atelier Iris

[@saturn7348]

my sister said the same thing! you can defiantly hear it

[@Invie4196]

That was my first thought

[@lordsaladito]

Im from Perú and this is pretty accurate for the highlands music, but the thing i dont like is thay there arent that many (or even any at all) dishes from peru

[@ladyopheliagames]

Maybe soon in the expac friend!

[@Bladehound83]

I remember being disappointed at the lack of borgar when Endwalker first dropped due to that cutscene with the takeout, only for it to be added as a master recipe at the first raid tier. You may still be pleasantly surprised yet.

[@TheBpendleton44]

Papa a la huancaina and aji de gallina incoming

[@kiritolor4810]

Why this song remind me of Sea Front from Nier replicant :o

[@Mykenai]

Soken has struck yet again... Another theme that lives in my head rent free. PS. Does anyone else get Bravely Default vibes from this?

[@MemoristCed]

Something I've noticed about these day themes is that they seem to travel over the area they belong to. Sharlayan's Day Theme syncs up nicely with the trip from the harbor to the Rostra. This feels like it's traveling from the plains to the glorious mountains. Sadly, as this beautiful music promises me exploration and grand sights, I'm stuck doing a chain of mandatory fetch quests. I hope I can be free, soon.

[@Kalakauai123]

I get vibes from GUST's Atelier series from this bgm.

[@Pompadourius]

I CAME TO SAY THE SAME THING. Absolutely those vibes, 100%.

[@zazikikomo7796]

This is the most XI song I've ever heard in XIV.

[@redcloud16]

My favorite zone in the game so far I think

[@BleachKonman]

This zone reminded me of a monster hunter town theme

[@qbee3642]

I really enjoy the still scenic shots. Thanks for that.

I don't know how many people will get this reference, but it feels like it should be a Nord Highlands ost.

[@nebula8851]

Hear me out: Best zone theme in the game that isn't Neath Dark Waters or that one bit of On Westerly Winds.

[@housewanwan837]

あまりに好きすぎる…

[@vampireguy24]

I swear parts of this song sounds exactly to Hills of Radiant Winds from NieR Replicant

[@KiraHearts-b4w]

i was looking for the family ranch song

[@pocketdirt338]

The MSQ sucked hard ..but the areas and the themes make up for that shortcoming. I absolutely love it in this place.

[@dorianvald2004]

ES PERÚ. ES MI HOGAR!!!

[@Brass319]

anyone else get big To The Sun vibes from this??

The music actually similar with the Skyruin

[@Cue-Ball.]

The Skyruin has the Urqopacha melody in it used as a motif.
