nothing hit me like that last sequence asking you to crawl to Broken Glass

[@shadowwake19]

That was a really great trial/quest. No joke, life is hard as a minion

[@anonymoususer69420]

One of my fav Wol moments easily

[@Space-1255]

Genuinely wish I got to experience it before the patch, a lot of people ragged on it but it was honestly a great storytelling moment even after it

[@lunalima2379]

I used this to rush everything i had to do at work today, felt gooooood
and i now i can go home earlier hehe

[@anderssonkarin]

It's nice that this is not only extended ver but also playing mid boss medley!

[@christopherbravo1813]

does anyone else prefer this over Finality?

[@NoOne-us9xv]

Yeah. By far. It's not even close.

[@venuzmodeling6749]

Finality hits better

[@Hawkenwhacker]

This is when we come to moments of personal preference, isn't it? Personally, I appreciate them both but for different reasons.
On Blade's Edge, it's frenetic and gets you pumped up. But, there is an underlying tension that never resolves. It gives me the sense of this never-ending fight or flight response.
Finality is very similar in nature. It's chaotic and keeps you moving. However, as the song plays out, there are these moments of levity. Over time, the chorus relaxes. It holds onto the notes as it slides higher and lower. It gives off this feeling of catharsis as if I'm being told "You've been fighting for some time, haven't you? Just hang on for a little bit longer. It's almost over." From there, it ramps right back up and the cycle continues but there is this calm that remains while you are being flooded with adrenaline.
The power of well-written music.

@@Hawkenwhacker honestly, I don't think I'd ever be able to put my musical preferences into words like that.

[@tickledpickle5671]

@@Hawkenwhacker finality gives me a sense of desperation. That sense that you CANNOT FAIL. But what do I know. I was told it couldn't convey desperarion because the tempo was too fast. :Headdesk:

Thanks, this helped me fall asleep.
