Zero's Domain Theme - FFXIV OST

[@uvi-]

I'm trying out a different format for these zone themes. Instead of walking around awkwardly, I'm gonna try doing a series of stationary shots instead. Let me know what you think, if you prefer one style or another c: (Not that it should matter too much, since most people will just have this playing in the background while doing other things)

[@Xaiken]

I enjoy these more stationary, atmospheric shots by a mile. However, in the past, SE have come after videos that lacked "gameplay". I don't know if they've lighten the leash on these songs and vids more recently but I do hope so!

[@edogard1]

Definitely prefer stationary shots

[@aavacadoh]

@@Xaiken I'd hope they'd be okay with this especially since it has the copyright there. I also prefer the stationary shots, very fitting especially for this music and environment.

[@xuto2693]

Tough call. I think it would work best on a case by case basis. This one I think works best in stills, but others maybe not so much.

[@dmonee6196]

With this song, especially, stationary fits SO well.

[@Bladehound83]

You've heard of the Void ark, now time for the void arc.

[@xuto2693]

God damnit. I hate you sir. Thank you.

[@Wessimus]

The best thing about that to me is I remember seeing the Void Ark floating around in the Sea of Clouds and thought it was the Lunar Whale and that we were getting the Archfiends and Golbez way back in Heavensward. I've been waiting for this for seven years.

Lol facts

[@cinnamonfrosttwitch]

Did y'all talk to the little Waiting Voidsent by the statue? "Whose likeness is this, you ask? The hero who will save the world. I'm waiting for the day he comes. Or was it a she? I can't remember the details... I don't know how long I've been waiting, or why I even wait. Could YOU be the hero, perhaps? ...No, I don't think so. Something tells me I'll know when I meet him. Or her. I'll just have to keep waiting." I love this story so much.

[@xuto2693]

Total headcanon, but I read that to be referencing the 13th's version of Azem that never appeared, or perhaps was lost.

[@moruemourue9692]

They don't try to hide the obvious by using the whole Paladin Set for the statue...

[@scion6186]

I think it’s the warrior of light considering domains are influenced by memories and zero would have seen you fight Zenos

@@cameronwilsey9334 Yes! "This is the heart of my domain. Normally it's deserted, but you and yours have drawn everyone out. I don't recall this statue, though... However it came to be here, I certainly didn't wish for it." I feel like that last sentence is alluding to not the statue, but being/becoming a hero herself. I get a very ShB Ardbert vibe from it.

@@Dragon359 yeah it had that theme in the original. It's like a sad version of the overworld theme and it plays when certain storyline characters die in FFIV.

I believe it is also called "Cry in Sorrow" for some versions.

[@SaveMeRIV]

@@muddyscot I believe you're right. Sorrow and Loss was the name they gave it most recently on the Pixel Remaster soundtrack. Still one of the most iconic tracks from FFIV. I was caught totally off guard when it began playing.

[@muddyscot]

@@SaveMeRIV Me too. I heard the tail end of the melody during a cutscene and advanced too far to let it loop on accident. I was so happy to hear it in her domain.

[@TheAsvarduilProject]

When I see the Zero's Domain zone, the first thing I think of is: "This is what one of the older 2D Final Fantasy maps would look like if the heroes lost." The music really adds to that. As usual, Soken is a genius. Sure, Sorrow & Loss is an Uematsu composition, but the piano-only arrangement and the flourishes not present in the original do much to elevate the piece, and the scenes it's in.

[@Wessimus]

I think you're exactly right. I'm almost thinking they've recreated the town of Baron for Zero's Domain here. It's all so awesome.

[@ryanrushford7918]

I think you’re right too. I also think that Soken is the only true successor to Uematsu. His music is beyond words for me, as was Uematsu’s was and still is. They’re both literal music gods.

[@SweetyMiki]

Should probably point out that Soken may have not done this arrangement, a majority of the time Daiki Ishikawa handles the FF arrangements.

I love all the callbacks to FF4 that Endwalker brings with the overall theme and OST.

[@koko-hh2bq]

I did not think I would sympathize with a voidsent until now. Knowing that not all are purely evil, but just people who just want peace and don't wanna fight anymore. I really can't wait for next expansion for this to be fleshed out, brings me ShB vibes!

[@georgesmith5201]

I feel like the situation is going to be resolved before the next expansion. At least based on the pace it is going.

[@Danothyus1]

the mindflayer voidsent in Zero's domain says he was summoned into a vessel chained to a bed. the conjurer got angry because "he was not the true beauty of his dreams" and started cutting him before he escaped the vessel, saying he is not going to be summoned ever again. Looks like life is hard to voidsents just like us.

[@debleb166]

@@Danothyus1 I believe the account of the summoner is in one of the books in the Great Gubal Library dungeon. Pretty cool that they remembered that detail.

[@MyVanir]

I mean, we already knew that voidsent were regular life forms before the flood of darkness. It isn't the first time a setting reveals that the generic demon mooks are actually people at home.

[@Infindox]

I doubt that we are focusing on this in the next expansion. There was a recent interview with Yoshi-P and he stated that Endwaker patches are going to go a bit differently (you can kinda see that now, this trial is part of the MSQ and not like other .2 patches before) and like in 6.5 something big is going to happen and we will all be blindsided going into 7.0. The game kinda alludes to that as well with The Rising event this year, just the stuff that is said in the cutscenes. I have a feeling that we will resolve this plotline and by doing so it causes whatever happens.

[@InsanoRider777]

A ruined city... the most intact architecture there is a single monument to a hero whose name has been lost to armageddon. Yet despite the weathering and battering and world's end, still they stand defiant, a silent sentinel defending what little hope remains within the shard. Someday their vigil shall come to an end when hope and life is restored to the ruined world.

No, it's Sorrow and Loss from Final Fantasy IV. Same tune, but a sad version for cutscenes.

This game is too damn good at making you lose yourself in the moment of these places. Arriving here gave me all the same out-of-body vibes that I had when i arrived in the First at the start of Shadowbringers. It's so special.

[@Celis.C]

I can't put my finger on it, but this beautiful piece somehow reminds me of the classic _Comptine d`un autre été - l`apres-midi_ , which was composed by Yann Tiersen and used in the movie Amèlie. I didn't want to leave the Domain because of the music, it's such a gorgeous piece

[@kai-spy4921]

Zero is a great character, I find too often in stories we are introduced to characters who are supposedly mentally scarred by extreme trauma but 10 minutes later are wisecracking member of the main team. You can really feel like this character has been left as a barely caring husk worn down Millennia of despair and death. At this point, even with us planning on attempting to restore light to the void everything she ever cared about has been dead and devoured for Millennia. We still need to do it, if for nothing else to hasten the restoration of the first which was dangerously tilted toward light by it's relation to the Thirteenth.

The more I think about the voidsent, the more I want to save the 13th. They "live" in fear, on a more visceral level than we've experienced. They hide, or they serve, because anything else means they get eaten. Even death is no escape--they just become a part of the beast that devoured them, living on inside their head like a perverse "living" memory. I wouldn't wish that fate on my worst enemy. Just think about how scared the voidsent were when Barbariccia arrived, and how ruthlessly she consumed them. That's the 13th. Goddamnit, I want to save that shard.

And logically, wouldn't the same have been true of some Sin Eaters on the First as well?

@@azurebookllet9216 Sin eaters couldn't speak and talk, at least not after a while from being transformed, they were creatures of pure instinct. Comes with the stasis of their aether, it stagnated their thoughts and soul (we learn this in Eden, Mitron mentions how after the light hit him his thoughts lost meaning and only Arberts desire to vanquish darkness remained, thus he released the flood, only after night returned to norvrant he was able to somewhat come back) Voidsents are intelligent for the most part because they were created under the umbral aspect of aether, the opposite of stagnation, their thoughts somewhat remained after transformation even if they were warped and only for strong individuals.
