@@corvosweet-moon8629 True but still restoring life to what it once was would really make things better, besides, the people from Amaurot were pretty calm and wise, there was no need for weapons since they were peaceful
What I loved about this expansion is that they humanized the villians. Reminds me of FFXV villian and how he was made the villian from something out of his control.
this is why 13-2 and lightning returns to a degree are some of my favourite games in the series. because Caius, okay sure he's gone off the deep end and it out to literally destroy time but by the end of the game even if you don't agree you can really understand "why" he did it
I liked HW and Gaius for the same reason. Nidhogg's got a pretty reasonable thing to go off about and Gaius just didn't want primals to exist to keep wrecking shit.
@@Reavyr Gaius also is far more intelligent than he was let on to be. Gaius knows what's going on in terms of primals, the death of the star Hydaelyn and the fact that the empire is manufacturing cataclysmic weapons of mass destruction, namely the Black Rose. Once he figured that out, he started his crusade against the Ascians who manipulated and turned Garlemald into what it is. Gaius knows the history of the planet and the Primals, although forces to be reckoned with isn't so much the issue as is the amount of aether they take to summon. The Wasteland was proof of what happens when you bleed a land of it's aether and Garlemald was terrified of that happening.
The dungeon theme is called Mortal Instants! I love it so much, but I feel like the piano version is so much more meaningful somehow? Like this faceless Amaurotine is every version of us that existed when the star was whole. Emet is watching from somewhere. :D
while yes i love the dungeon itself but i dont like the monster in it, as main tank who always do pull boss to boss this dungeon is the worst to do that compared to other dungeons
Oh my god, it's a duet between Emet and the WOL's past self! I literally broke down in tears when they disappeared and then Emet and Amaurot along with them.
@@gateauxq4604 I left this comment before Azem's name had even been mentioned in MSQ. We didn't officially know the WoL was the Fourteenth, just that Emet recognised their past self. But yes, we are Azem. 😂
I cried at the end of this Expansion. Today, I cried again listening to this masterpiece. "Remember us. Remember that we once lived". This is so powerful. Thank you so much.
Emet-Selch easily a top FF villain. It's funny how in ARR people were like "this is good FOR AN MMO" and nowadays it's like "this game literally carries the brand."
I like to imagine something like this took place in some anonymous location in Amaurot. One soul, playing on the piano one last time before the end. One last chance to embrace his love for music before their world faded into oblivion.
it's so odd being back here post 5.3, knowing what we know now. Thank you, Emet. I'll remember for as long as I live, even though the rains have passed and given us a beautiful new day. Even though you aren't here to see it.
I couldn't help but to cry - especially at the end of this piece. The fading Amaurotine was the most brilliant touch. Emet will be forever loved as the best Villain ever written in my eyes. No novel or movie has topped him for me - even among the greats. Emet-Selch made you feel for him like you've never felt for a villain before. Who could imagine EONS.. of despair and longing for that which you've lost? Mortals can barely fathom the loss of just one, let alone an entire world and all those in it.
This song will always bring a tear to my eye. It's so full of sadness and hope and desperation bleeding from beneath the surface. I loved the end of this xpac so much. It's so hard to make a sympathetic villain, but they managed it.
This is so powerful.I felt joy, I felt melancholy, like it's saying "Yes, I'm alive!" and then it starts to be more quiet... Sad. "I'm gone, but I lived". Wish I could explain it with better words but still, thank you for this masterpiece ❤️
This was released on my birthday. A friend of mine posted it on Discord, and I'm glad I listened to it. Amaurot was such a great dungeon and Soken is such a great composer - and I dare say your take on it on piano would make Soken smile. Great work.
The dungeon, music, atmosphere, events happening in the game, the narration. All of it culminates to being the most emotional dungeon in any game I'd ever played. This music is just as good. Also I'm noticing at the end, I'm hearing the melody of the Final Fantasy Crystal theme. You should be very proud of your skill and I'm very honored to have found this beautiful piece.
Tomorrow and tomorrow I cannot see what will be So, for ever and forever I will just wait, and see This forgotten land Sleeps on the ocean floor Made with only dry sand And nothing, nothing more To never be remembered A testament to no one Such a deaf testimony Blind to all, mute tone A beautiful land of dreams A sincere shard of emotion Shine bright, loud empire Without stirring a commotion. Listen, Hear, Feel, Remember us.
I love that part that starts around 1:17 the short notes and then a louder one that hits at 1:20-21 that sound so beautiful. This was already a lovely piece and you just made it even more so. Thank you
If I'd had to put into words or melody how much I love Amaurot and this lore / expansion / story then... it'd be exactly this! What an incredible piece of music, thank you so much for sharing!
I keep coming back to this, and goosebumps even months after I've finished the expansion and hardly log-in. The way you played it is just so beautiful. As well as the memories the game has left us with--- absolutely timeless. Thanks again for sharing this, I do hope you're still doing well and playing beautiful music, Mameko!
I got Shivers down my spine listening to this, thank you so much for this, you are very talented and I really appreciate the Ascian cosplay as well, going to share this to all my friends and FC :)
Humanity's relationship with music is so much like the canon of creation magic. We even have creation templates we share around, for others to riff on!
I just wanna say that Amaurot is just such a strong piece of music from an amazing dungeon & your cover is just so amazing that it's actually my go to piece of music to listen to after I've had a PTSD attack to just lay down & chill to. So thank you! ^^
Please make an extended version of this song. It’s such a well done arrangement. I’ve been listening to it for hours now...Thank you for such a wonderful piece.
“The rains have ceased, and we have been graced with another beautiful day. But you are not here to see it.” - Elidibus

Have to wonder if a developer was watching Bladerunner when they wrote that line.
if this were legit, that piano must be about 18' tall.
true lol
Remember they once lived.
Remember, remember us. Remember that we once lived.

Somehow this is one of the most sad moments of the FF saga and I can't even explain it.
its very melancholy, realizing that in order for you to live you have to extinguish the hope of the Ascians.
@@Gee-xb7rt Honestly I would Join Emet Selch's duty it was truly a good deed what he seeketh
@@Necrid02 but do remember, he said he was tempered by zodiark the moment he was summoned

What I loved about this expansion is that they humanized the villians. Reminds me of FFXV villian and how he was made the villian from something out of his control.
XV was amazing despite its numerous flaws. Really hope we get that same sense of camaraderie with your crew and sympathetic villains in XVI!
He was given a raw deal, I can see why he did what he did, you would feel hatred if the same thing happened to you

Mmmmmh, I love that, too, I could listen to his Japanese voice actor for hours, I swear~
Such a fantastic pic.

Oh my god, it's a duet between Emet and the WOL's past self!

Absolutely beautiful! Truly a tune to bring a tear to the eye.
Glad I wasnt the only one who got teary eyed while listening to this outstanding performance!
テンペスト、アーモロート、そしてアカデミア。
これでもかと同じ旋律で殴り掛かってくるのには、脱帽しましたね。
だからこそ、此処迄記憶に刺さっているのかもしれません。
ヒュトロダエウスとエメトセルクが織りなす素敵な旋律を、
有り難う御座いました。
ならば覚えていろ
私たちは…確かに生きていたんだ
ああ、忘れはしないさ。
だから、思い出の中でじっとしていてくれ
私は思い出にはならないさ・・・

PorkNotBeef this is the comment that broke me 😫😭😭😭😭 I was just glossy eyed watching the video then this comment broke the camel’s back...
the fade out at the end to mimic how the quest npcs in amaurot fade out was a nice touch

Just noticed Amaurot in the background.
Nice touch.
いなくなってしまった人たちのこと、時々でいいから……
思い出してください
オルシュファン…
オルシュファンは亡くなって欲しくなかった😭
I just don't know why I started crying while listening to this. This sounds so beautiful, I really love Amaurot. Thank you for this, you are amazing.
This was probably the most beautiful rendition of this song I've heard, very very well done!
This is so powerful.I felt joy, I felt melancholy, like it's saying "Yes, I'm alive!" and then it starts to be more quiet... Sad. "I'm gone, but I lived". Wish I could explain it with better words but still, thank you for this masterpiece ❤️
引ききったらゆっくりと消えてく演出は卑怯でしょ…泣いてまうわ
"Welcome, to the final days of Amaurot"
「ならば覚えていろ……私たちは……確かに生きていたんだ」
最後の言葉の後、彼は寂しげとも満足気だとも受け取れるような表情をしていた。
その時の俺は湧き上がる感情を押さえられず、クシャクシャな顔でボロボロと……それでいて静かに泣いていた。
画面の前で俺はうなずく事しか出来なかった。
そして静かに彼は消えた。
俺は押さえられなくなった感情が爆発し、人生数えるほどしかしていない泣き方……搾り出すように声を上げ慟哭した。
ＩＤではいくつもの楽器が重なり合い、決意と悲しみと後悔と……様々な感情が浮かび上がるような曲だった。
今、俺はまるでエメトセルク本人の述懐を聞いているような気持ちになった。
ピアノ単品で聴くと、盛り上がる部分も静かに流れる部分もまた違って来る。
お互いに相容れない願いを抱えた彼と、週末のアーモロートを見下ろしながら語り合っているような。
「俺、アシエンってこう思ってたｗ」「厭だ厭だ、これだから想像力の無い輩は困る」
もう二度と会う事は無いであろう友人と、たった３分３０秒だけど語り合ったような気持ちになりました。
何度も、何度も再生ボタンを押して、コーヒーを飲みながら瞳を閉じて思いを馳せていました。
いい曲をありがとうございました。
ふと、すべてが終わった今でも……アーモロートの片隅で寂しくピアノで鎮魂するかのように動画の姿で弾いている人がいるかもしれない。
そう思いました。
勝手ながらロドスト日記にも書かせてもらいますね。
やっぱり蛮神ソケンは変態だと改めて（ｒｙ

Hi Lalazaur
Larry! :D

This is quite possibly the best cover of a Final Fantasy song I've ever heard. Bravo!
これが創造魔法か・・・
御手が創生を成してますね
イデア展開、獣よ来たれ
the only possible way this could be better is to edit-in a second set of hands moving for the 2nd melody on the keyboard cover's shiny reflection
いつも演奏に演奏時の服装に驚かされてます。背景に影絵で写ってるアーモロートも良かったです。
今回のメインストーリーはかなり思い入れがあるから、ここの曲はいろいろ思い出すものが多いですね。
I didn't know Emet-Selch had a RUclips channel.
Very much loved [Amaurot] in the background and the change in masks. The arrangement is beautiful!
背景とマスクの変更で非常に愛された[Amaurot]。アレンジが美しい！
I too noticed the piece sounded as though 2 people are playing and the 2 mask. This is absolute beauty. Thank you.
What a soothing melody. Thank you for gracing us with this performance, little one...
This was released on my birthday. A friend of mine posted it on Discord, and I'm glad I listened to it. Amaurot was such a great dungeon and Soken is such a great composer - and I dare say your take on it on piano would make Soken smile. Great work.

So beautiful and haunting. I also love the details like the cosplay and the silhouette on the wall. 14/10 video
Tomorrow and tomorrow
I cannot see what will be
So, for ever and forever
I will just wait, and see
This forgotten land
Sleeps on the ocean floor
Made with only dry sand
And nothing, nothing more
To never be remembered
A testament to no one
Such a deaf testimony
Blind to all, mute tone
A beautiful land of dreams
A sincere shard of emotion
Shine bright, loud empire
Without stirring a commotion.
Listen,
Hear,
Feel,
Remember us.
You had a real connection with this peice didn't you? It can be heard.
ほんと素敵です
何度も聴いてます。
次も期待してます！
Why.... Ahh oh my god. So Beautiful!! And you just HAD to dress up like that too?? Ahhhh too much emotions. You are amazing! Such immense skill.
何度も聞きに来てます！
何だかストーリーのあるアーモロートのように聞こえて心に残ります…。
まるで誰かのストーリーを辿っているかのような……。
良い曲をありがとうございます！！

Stunning. The feeling in my chest is bright and burning and tinged in sorrow from listening to this.

This is incredibly beautiful and very well expressed! Sub earned!
When all you wanted was to go back home to your friends and family. To unwrite your history. But it was just a fleeting dream

Edit: the video made me only glossy eyed but the comments while listening broke me......
omo, i need sheet music, this was beautiful!
I'm gonna be honest, I got so depressed when I went into the dungeon and listened and watched to everything that was happening.
I'm not crying you're crying! Great game. Great tribute.
聴いていて心が洗われるような気持ちになりました………改めて聴くとこんなに素敵なメロディーだったんだすね(*¨*)うるっときちゃいました………！
Somehow you have improved an already great track. Well done
聴いているだけで泣いてしまいそう。
やりたくもない仕事を、背負ってしまった。なぜならば「エメトセルク」に就いていたから。
救われるべきは我々なのだ。そうかもしれないけれど、本当にそう思えたのか、そんな人を思い出してしまいます。
切ない。
なんて暖かく優しい…そして何処か寂しさが感じられる旋律なのでしょう…
自然と涙が溢れてきました…
思い出せば、記憶の中で生き続ける…
居なくなってしまった者達を、忘れないために…。
いいセンスだ
Good god this is amazing. It keeps bringing back to me Emet's last words. I have never wanted to beat and help someone as much as him.
This is so gorgeously well played! Will you be selling the sheet music of your arrangement? Would love to try and learn it myself. Thanks 😊
