Really love how this keeps the "Tales of loss, and fire, and faith" motif if you listen carefully. Everything about the soundtrack in this expansion is stellar.
Yeah, that melody and its lyrics really do represent the ancients' plight as much as ours. (Spoilers below) Perhaps one of the most fulfilling parts of EW's story is that Zenos is a critical player in the final fight. Since he's Emet Selch's progeny, it's like the ancients are with us during the fight, battling against the force that destroyed their civilization so long ago.

I remember the moment I came here for the first time. Seeing my WoL all on his own, in this huge, empty world with the center... as grand as it was... equally as beautiful as it was heartbreaking. Mare Lamentorum means "Sea of Laments," or "Sea of Sorrows."
Mare, or Maria plural, are what they call the dark spots on the moon, vast basins filled with dark volcanic basalt created by ancient lava flows. It keeps with the theme that we can only find the ancients in long buried, far flung, flooded, forgotten places. The song really captures a sense of longing to be remembered. I remember reaching this place and feeling so alone, having witnessed such suffering in Garlemald, wandering this ancient rock, I had my WoL’s body and strength back, but I still felt powerless. And feeling that existential sense of helplessness that I play videogames to distract myself from, the sadness hit me like a wave. Damn it Ishikawa, why you gotta do me like this.
and this instantly goes on a permanent loop I fell in love with this track, and can't help but relate it to the Amaurotines. The chanting reflects a peaceful society so ancient, beautiful, and foreign, yet lost to us, forever. It solidifies that sense of longing we felt in Amaurot; our new, old home- a sense of nostalgia for something our sundered soul just can't recall. Where Amaurot's track suggested unstoppable sorrow and doom (the clock ticking), this track is lighter and progressive- things can get better; we can fix this. Whatever I may be feeling, I find so much melancholy and comfort in the peacefulness it brings.
For me it felt the opposite, it felt haunted and suffocating, the air was thick with the lamentations of those sacrificed to Zodiark, and their longing for their lost home.
for me it feels like the suffering they had endured all these years in the moon. at the end zordiak isn't pure evil ... it is a responsibility a huge one ...
I have over a thousand hours in Elite Dangerous. I've travelled everywhere, I've seen all kinds of planets, I've landed and explored many of them. Scanned, charted and rode my space buggy on so many moons and planets. The feeling of stepping on the moon in Endwalker dwarfed all my ED adventures. It felt so powerful and meaningful.
@@Hussman493 I can't go back to that game after Odyssey. They sorta ruined the game for me. That expansion turned off my friends from the game as well. So now it's just over. Sad, the many many screenshots that I have on my steam account are still my treasures.
This is a beautiful theme for outer space. I envision a child sleeping, being cradled by his mother. You feel how small you are, in the enormous expanse of the universe. And when the vocals come in, you almost feel like you're witnessing something on an eternal, godly scale. They knocked it out the park with this one.
This is when Endwalker really became great for me. Love this place, I often sit there and look at the landscape while waiting for Duty Finder to pop. Now, if only we could get Moon housing lol.
makes me sad. in some ways. makes me think of the friends ive lost due to my own mistakes and what not and that i may never see or speak to them again even when i pass. but they are still there. while i go on cursed with remembering them fondly
Yeah, except when the main theme of Endwalker hits that eurotrash 90s punk vibe with that dogshit singer. "Born from blood, born from blood" literally ruined that song for me. Everything about it was gorgeous, then that singer came in and I was like.. time to get back into singing lessons. Raspy ass. Rofl. But, yeah. 90 percent of Endwalkers music was a 20/10.
@@ssjonupants Wha..? Raspy ass? Dogshit singer..? Mate did you ever, in your entire life, listen to Metal? I'm not talking about bands like "Metallica" or "Pantera" or other heavy metal bands, but those of other styles? Like metal core? Sam Carter is not a bad singer, that's just the biggest insult you can give to someone like him, a very talented individual who is able to sing in a way that many others aren't and fail at trying. Screaming is not just some mindless way of getting vocals out of your mouth, but a way to pour many and many more emotions into your voice, more than you might be able to with the classic way to sing. If you think that Sam Carter should attend a few singing lessons due to his style (A style that many others use, I might add) maybe you should try it out yourself? Since according to you he is an inexperienced amateur, so it should be fairly easy for you to recreate, right? Anyways, I don't wanna go down that road. You should definitely listen to a few of the songs that he made with his band though, especially their latest album is just... *chef kiss* not only the music itself, but the lyrics too. "Holy Hell" for example, the album that came out in 2018, is about the time after their songwriter/guitarist, Tom Searle died, who is also the brother of the drummer.
@@ssjonupants Also also if we really want to dive deep into this, you are also insulting Soken with your comment, the person behind every single song that you hear in late Stormblood, Shadowbringers and Endwalker. I doubt that he would've cast an amateur and used his vocals for the MAIN THEME of the expansion, yk, the song that is used to advertice the product to the fans and new people
@@brebmeb7882 You Soken simps are something else, man. Just deal with the fact that someone has a different opinion than you and move on. His songs are mostly hits and some misses. Many great, some stinkers. Is what it is.. and yes, I think the singer is balls..
And at the same time this is a remix of Footfalls. The piano melody is the "Tales of loss and fire and faith", while the quiet chanting is a variation of the starting vocals of Footfalls. Many of the music themes in the game are intertwined by sharing melodies, known as leitmotifs
Its been 10 years playing this game never felt bored about ffxiv just love ost and music gameplay especially bosses and raids story and everything keeps you busy lol And we have another 10 years .
This Song Makes me sad and reminds me of my deceased brother.. who died almost a year ago at the age of 30... he didn't even get a chance to listen to this song 😔
agreed, mare lamentorum, (which btw is latin for sea of lament) was my favorite zone to just sit in chill in , like the azim steppe in stormblood and amarout in shadowbringers
This area is really reminiscent of FFXI! Apart from the ambient, the way you have to go a specific path to access different parts of the map reminds me of Ru'aun ^^ They even added the Weepers, so I don't think it was unintentional~
@@7furkan That's not what I meant. idk if you've played FFXI, but some areas (most notably Ru'Aun) have a specific path you have to take in order to proceed. Notice how you can't go to the most western section from the south (the area you're teleported to), but instead have to travel through each section until you get there. Well, you would have to if not for Argos lol Anyways, what you're describing is early areas in an expac blocking you from accessing half of it, as they'll be revisited later on in the msq. Mare Lamentorium has no such restrictions, which is why it reminds me of Ru'Aun so much :D
I sat with my friend here and we talked about the inevitable end to the game and it's servers. About the friends we made and our free company. Surreal, lemme tell ya.
I left my fc a month ago and we have spent a lot of time in mare lamentorum. Now whenever I go mining or to do something there, tears just run down from my eyes. I feel lonely now. So lonely.
Think they meant a spot on the moon map lol, which seems to me its up north west ish? Judging by the position of the watcher's place. I think theres a ledge across the aether current in this era with the right elevation
Not a unpopular opinion at all, both Moon and Thavnair(apocalypse phase) were kinda rushed, they did made 2 expansions into one at all, it was pretty good still
This OST is so depressing. I really don't like it. It feels void of life which I suppose is the intention. It fits with the atmosphere, but I just would not listen to it regularly.
Really love how this keeps the "Tales of loss, and fire, and faith" motif if you listen carefully. Everything about the soundtrack in this expansion is stellar.
Where in the track do you hear it?
@@f.fadairo4249 listen for the when the piano starts playing and you should notice it

honestly one of the best areas in the game.
This gives me the same great chill vibes as Ahm Areng from Shadowbringers, as well as Amarot. Ugh, so good.
beats to cry to in outer space

This track will be mandatory to play on a real life moon base
The first part of the song sounds similar to final fantasy X's wandering flame, I love it
I thought the same thing the first time I heard it T_T
@@maca00 yea yea yea!!!! so good
That’s my favorite FF song
This song made me heard, "Congratulation on taking down Zodiark, sit down and relax for now because we have more surprise for you"
I honestly caught myself just chilling out on the moon, doing nothing but listening to the bgm and petting my plants or something.

I listen to it every day when I go to bed🤣
thanks, this is awesome!
Did anyone notice a green man dancing on the red spewing aura at 17:54? What was that? lol
wtf
marcianito is now 100% real
It's a twitch emote people spam when theyre listening to a good song ^^
ayy lmao
It's a classic gif from the late 90s, early 00s. Bizarre, yes, but it's become a meme xD
i religiously come to this zone to do exactly this, thank you :)
Me too, and remodeled my FC room around this song
I always wonder what the murmured chanting is saying
Ahhh yes, after Amh Araeng from Shb, this my favorite location song from Enw.

Same way! Sands of amber makes me feel this way too!
21:58 am i hallucinating? what is that thing in front of the building lol
Wandering Flame vibe's.....

I genuinely wonder what's gonna happen with all that aether Zodiark was made up of, just leaking out of the Dark Inside.
It just fucking hit me this is the main melody of Close the Distance looped.
My fav spot to fish and relax is in the cave there on the moon. I love the music so much
You can FISH on the Moon!?
Gave me vibes of Terra Battle's OST (vocals from The Maker's Beckoning). Completely forgot that was a thing.

Hoping they have housing on the moon.
This is so similar to the “Fortress of Lies” track from Nier Automata
So I got my husband to listen to this and he said it sounded like porn music. I’m not sure how to feel now that he said that. Lol
Where in the moon is this? Id been looking for this part but cant find it
This is an area you unlock in Endwalker, the last expansion

Close to the Allagan wreckage it seems.
