One brings shadow, one brings light
Two-toned echoes tumbling through time
Threescore wasted, ten cast aside
Four-fold knowing, no end in sight
All our splendour bathed black in silence
Our surrender a sombre reverie
Slowly drifting down into twilight
Left to sifting through faded memories
Know our places, for worth is wordless
Evanescent, this writing on the wall
Brother stay this descent to madness
Come and save us. Catch us before we fall
Like broken angels, wingless, cast from heavens' gates (Our slumb'ring demons awake)
We only fly when falling, falling far from grace (Hell take us, heaven can wait)
Our lives a message in a bottle cast to sea (Disgrace untold and unseen)
Quick to their ends, our candles burn until we're free
In monochrome melodies
Our tears are painted in red (Bleeding to the edge)
Deep inside we're nothing more
Than scions and sinners
In the rain
Do light and darkness fade
Yes, time circles endlessly
The hands of fate trained ahead (Pointing to the edge)
All things change, drawn to the flame
To rise from the ashes.
To begin
We first must see the end
One brings shadow, one brings light
Two-toned echoes tumbling through time
Threescore wasted, ten cast aside
Four-fold knowing, no end in sight
Rock of ages, we cast the first stone
In our cages, we know not what we do
Indecision here at the crossroads
Recognition, tomorrow's come too soon
Follow blindly like lambs to slaughter
At the mercy of those who ply the sword
As our song wends dead underwater
We're forgotten for now and evermore
Without a compass wand'ring lost in lies of faith (Faith slowly wasting away)
Only alive in fighting Death's amber embrace (Our hearts beat loud, unafraid)
On Hands and knees we pray to gods we've never seen (Come shadow, come follow me)
The final hour upon us, no more time to breathe

![FFXIV OST Warrior of Light Boss Theme ( SPOILERS ) [ To the Edge ]](/img/1.gif)
I'm scared to play the next expansion because I have no idea how they will be able to top this.
The community after literally every expansion.
We said the same thing in heavensward haha
@@CastDeathGames its a universal agreement that stormblood didnt top heavensward, so maybe we will have a good expansion next time just not AS good
if they keep the writers for shadowbringers, I'm sure it'll be great...hopefully
thats what people said about Heavensward
YoshiP: how can we make an already awesome song even more badass? its impossible
Soken: hold my beer
*hold my chicken
Hold my Enkidu^
Cats are the most powerful force in the universe. Beers are degenerative.
The Warrior of light and 7 of the player characters from ffiv featuring Cecil, Cid, Rosa, Rydia, Edge, Palom and Porom. This is the most hyped trial I've ever seen.
I thought it was a play on the original 1.0 FFXIV logo 😂
Could be both.
It is. The warriors summoned are a callback to several of the cast from ffiv. The attacks they use are references to the calamities(smn calling bahamut, the ninua calling in a tsunami and earthquake, the DRK calling in an all consuming void which refers to what happened on the 13th shard, and the twin mages calling in meteors) And the poss they all strike when WoL summons em is a throwback to the Logo of ARR
Now that i realize it. The two lalafel mages pretty much used the twin cast ability from FFIV. Meteor was one of the spells you could get through that move. So its both a reference to the 7th calamity AND another ffiv reference
Holy crap how did I not notice this
Knowing that Soken was battling cancer when he composed this song, that "You still stand" after the LB4 hits very differently.
God the ShB original song was dark and foreboding then they take it and make it uplifting. This is the best way to end an expansion.
wait, is it really the expansions end? I mightve missed something but I thought the expansions typically went to X.5
Techy2112 .3 is always the end of said expansions story, .4/.5 start building up the story for the next expansion. (I.e. Dragonsong War ends in 3.3)
@@Techy2112 This latest patch is the end of the Ascian/Shadowbringer Arc.
While the song takes elements from the ShB main theme ("one brings Shadow", "Riding home", etc.), it's still predominantly based on the Amaurot theme and has original lyrics. Just wanted to clarify.
I'm not sure if this song is uplifting. When I pay attention to the lyrics, a lot of it is incredibly heartbreaking. That's not to say there isn't hope in the song, but I think at it's core, it's Elidibus telling us his story, and that story is so very tragic.
When Hades showed up I couldn’t contain all my feels
So pissed he didn't show up in the Extreme Version
The music just keeps getting better. Absolute slap.
I was freaking out the whole time during this fight. And I cried a lot after. 10/10 best patch ive ever played
I love the fact in this patch you can pilot a mech. Samurai, fantasy, cat people, great music, and now mechs. This game has everything
Pfft٫imagine crying over a video game. What? No٫these aren't tears! *sniffles* Some sand got into my eyes٫shut up!
Soken wrote this, knowing damn well it could have been his final song, and he put absolutely everything he had into it.
This man is a legend.
Damn, you can really enjoy the music more when you're not getting tossed around like a ragdoll.
So I just started playing FFXIV 2 weeks ago and had no idea how amazing the music (let alone everything else) is! It's definitely worth experiencing for that alone.
Totally agree! I come back everytime mostly to re-experience the thrill of great boss fights and music together..!
Literally had this on repeat all morning.
Hi. Yes, I'm still here.
@@guinness12691 I've had it on repeat since Tuesday
Really fuckin hope I don't burn out on this masterpiece
GrandFinale I don’t think it’s possible tbh
@@tuyhhf Even If you burn It, It won't stop from being good.
If you're back from an afterlife, you will just want to repeat It again,
like you did now.
All mourning*
What a perfect way to cap off our time in the first, we became the warrior of darkness, so it's only expected we must defeat the warrior of light!
And the original one from FF1 no doubt
and elidibus before did said that we must defeated by warrior of light while he on moon!
I don't play anymore, but I keep an eye open for new tracks to listen to. I smiled at 1:50.
Glad the best EX trial this expac gets the best song.
Nyeaa wouldnt call this the best song in this expac tho, Hades and Innocence were way more badass
@Vincent Velasquez What does them being easy have to do with anything i was referring to the songs, go try n be edgy elsewhere
BoONeo hades theme is still my all time fav. It just hits different
@Giga Gask okay?
How appropriate this fight was, the final battle concluded on the same stage it all began. The place G'raha Tia decided to stay behind back in ARR atop the Crystal Tower. And to top it all off the now Warrior of Darkness fighting the LITERAL warrior of light from FF1. It all comes full circle and this whole expansion has been an absolute treat. ( ^_^)
At first, I wasn't much of a fan of this song. but after mulling over it for a day or two after hearing it, I came back to it and it just clicked. I love how it sounds tired, like both sides are exhausted. Not defeated mind you, just weary and worn out from this taxing and long adventure, longing to finally get home to rest and recuperate. Both the Warrior of Darkness and the Warrior of Light

The final hour upon us, no more time to breathe
As a WoL main in Dissidia, I was screaming all fight 😍
I’m curious, is there any crossover between his attacks on that game and here as a boss fight?
@@TheSuperiorZarxes Bitter End is a move he has in Dissidia for one. Some other moves in XIV have names similar to his Dissidia counterpart. Namely Universal Crossover from Crossover, Absolute Flash from Dayflash, and Sword of Light using the same models from Radiant Sword. 😊
I would love a squall boss fight. I'm a squall main in dissidia. Gunbreaker is the reason I'm considering getting FF14
This whole expansion has absolutely wrecked my emotions. And the cutscene after this trial was no different. My god, the tears...!
4 instant kill moves right after freezing the whole raid
Hope you're paying attention
0_0
Alot of mechanics,alot of combinations...frustratingly fun..
My boyfriend struggled with this for 2 hours, and when I got to it (he did it with me) we did it on my first try. Let's just say he was a little upset XD
The 1st phase is very predictable, the only variance is if he’s using stone+fire+in/out first or stone+ice+in/out and the light swords.
I see you’re one of these people that don’t spam buttons when pressing abilities, that’s quite satisfying to see.
Did you know there's a minor damage/crit chance penalty for that? If you use the skill at 95%ish cooldown it activates but less effectively. Great insentive really for people like our good man here.
@@Spritus3241 I'd like to have some source into this. I've never heard about it c,c
@@Spritus3241 What an absurd lie.
@@Spritus3241 Bait
Spritus Animation, Games & YTPs Nope not true skills are always used at .01 seconds after gcd ends, there no such thing as what you said to give you a penalty.
Best fight, best theme and best story. Can't beat that!
Personally i love how he fights like a beefed up Magic knight (proto-paladin) using both fire and ice to enhance his blade.
They keep teasing us with these mystic knight enemies. Halicarnassus, Warrior of Light. Gahhhhhhh.... Wants my favorite FFV job in game. That'll get me to play melee at last.
@@nulloperations Kind of similar to (if I remember the right name of the class) Parivir from Tactics A2 as well. Elemental sword wielder that also inflicted status ailments at the same time. I really enjoy the theme of magik knights overall
Soken you glorious madman, this is wonderful
The way the Warrior of Light auto attacks you reminds me of the way the Warrior in the NES version attacks for some reason
Nobody seems to be talking about how the lyric "one brings shadow, one brings the light" are likely not referring to our character as one of them but Emet Selch as shadow and Elidibus as light.
Man that was amazing ending...
These lyrics are so damn deep, thank you!
*uncontrollable sobbing*
S-so beautiful!!
The song name is To the Edge, not Eternal Wind - Shadowbringers!
Thanks for the clarification!
It's fine, just craft both orchestrations anyway ☺️
I must admit, I wasn't expecting easy listening music when this trial started. It's just so dang smooth.
at this point I am 100% sure someone sold their soul to the devil to be able to write such awesome music
Favorite parts of this song are 1:49-2:28 and 5:03-5:40. My favorite favorite is the latter. The way the song and animations match up at 5:13-5:40 is just perfect. Especially with those lyrics for his ultimate attack.
I love it so much.
ah! thats my reddit thread! glad you got some use out of them, can't wait to see the confirmed ver !!
My thanks to the combined effort of the people working on it!
Finally someone who uploads the actual trial and not that story mode garbage, plus points on it being your first clear too!
Bathe In The Light, Shine!, Lightning!, prepare, shine bright, i'll never be a pawn of fate
👌👌👌👌👌👌I could imagine WoL's voice lines all fight
i appreciate you uploading this! i really enjoyed this ex!
i love that this is the tempest but more hype
Finally practiced this extreme yesterday; only made it to second phase but wiping to this theme was such a fun experience.
SOKEN ABSOLUTE LEGEND
just imagine getting to this point and having not the slightest idea whats going on cause you skipped ever scene and dialog
I have a friend like that, sadly
I did that for 2.0 and havensword, massively regreated, but I understand what’s happened before jumping into stormblood and started to pay attention to the storyz
Sounds like a "them" problem. ; D
F
I haven't played XIV. I've heard it's a reference to that hades boss
It so ironic that Emet-Selch invoked shades of his brethren and literally pulled himself up to combat for them after being slain once.
But Elidibus literally went Warrior of Light... But he had left no one to fight for, no one to defend, but himself. And even more, it is mere an echo of original Elidibus still fighting despite everything.
Ascian tragedy at its finest
Why is this fight awesome? Not only isn't it the battle to decide the fates of those who are gone, and those who are here now. Its because this is less a fight between a hero and villain, but two hero's are giving their all to fight to save those important to them. Elidibus, was just as much a hero as we were, primal or not, amarotine or not, he was a hero to his people.
But also this fight really is the ultimate crossover. We fight the original Warrior of Light from FFI, on top of the crystal tower from FFIII, while he's backed up by a group of warriors of light, that are clearly the cast of FFIV, but despite that its a fight, that made me cry, as both a long time FF Fan and a long time FFXIV player.
I will remember. I will remember you Lahabrea, Elidibus, Emet-Selch. . .I will remember that you. . . no that we once lived.
As noted by Alex Moukala Music, this song actually slaps harder at 1.25x
Damn, now I can't go back to 1.0x. It just feels weird like the build up to the good part takes too long.
I see what he means. At 1.25x it has a club mix feel to it. Love it :)
I thought the song was lacking something. compared to Hades theme or even Tsukiome theme. Now the song score is perfect
I liked it,but watching all the mechanics,but faster was scary,so I had to slow it back down
I can no longer listen to this at 1x speed
It must be 1.25x from now. This is law.
God damn it, gotta love when people on the internet are beautiful.
I really do wish the warrior of light set from labyrinth of the ancients looked half as good as the set Elidibus has on
There is a lot going on in this song, havent gotten to really take it in yet. Looks like a fun fight and wipe farm parties incoming.
Yeah. The last major mechanic of the EX fight is shaping up to be the PUG killer for a good while.
@@arieltimeshrine8137 I havent.plzyed since FF7R came out so nay jump back in soon. I was mid pre E7S but the community complete add phase at the time lol.and farms were struggling with Ruby Weapon
You can kinda hear the beat from the "falling far from grace" refrain in the bgm for The Tempest.
Even after knowing the official lyrics, every time I listen to this I still hear "I resent this, descend to madness"/"I resent this descent to madness" and "As our song fled, hid underwater"!
when you've lived long enough to become the antagonist.... the events of this patch really is reflective of the final fantasy III prequel war. when overflowing light and the cloud of light engulfed the world.... and the warriors of darkness gave their life to restore balance.
God, I actually cried when I heard this last night for the first time. And fuck, if I’m hearing some of those lyrics right, those are heart wrenching. Especially since, “I remember,” is repeated multiple times before describing something. Like this is perfect as a song sung from Elidibus. “Mortal Instant” was Emet-Selch’s sorrow, this is Elidibus’ rage and struggle to hold on.
That first verse is just the history of the sundering in poetic form:
One Brings Shadow, One Brings The Light- Zodiark and Hydalyne
Two toned echoes tumbling through time- the battle of sundering echoes across all time
Three score wasted, ten cast aside - The convocation between torn into three individuals in a hopeless situation and the ten echoes of their former colleagues they use as puppets
Fourfold knowing no end in sight- The eternal struggle between the unsundered and Hydelyne that has spanned countless ages
The original WoL that started it all!
2:30 I love how they remixed Amaurot's music into this
Kinda wish this song was talking about stack markers and how they worked cause this is still a mystery for a lot of people.
Am I the only one who keeps hearing "Riding Home" as "Lali-Ho"?
I always hear "LIGHTNING BOOOOOLT"
It's just a big chorus of dwarves doing their little wave.
It's the most exciting trial for me to heal in quite some time.
Paying closer attention, he is WOL in Warrior form.
While I, who have conquered Labyrinth of Ancients many many times for one specific gear set, is the Class Up form-Knight (in shining armor).
So it was no surprise I crushed him.
I also have a Garland set for Dark Knight...but I would have been destroyed no matter how hard I try to use Knock Down!
It should be illegal for a videogame to have such an incredible ost
Dude that UI is pure perfection, as soon as I move from ps4 to pc im copying it!!
I resent this, descent in madness
Come and save us, yet just before we fall
Elidibus T_T
So Warrior of Light
FF1 WoL is Pog
Didnt he say that hes the one that created all the protagonist of FF 1 to onwards ?
i find if funny people think its cecil from ff4 when its ff1 warrior of light
The dark knight next to him in the cutscene however is wearing cecil gear though so that's cool.
I don't think anybody thinks WoL is Cecil. The DRK specter of light he calls is most definitely Cecil though (or at least an homage), just as the rest of the specters represent other FFIV cast.
@Catto he calls them from different eras so it makes sense
@Catto to be honest FF1 had little to no memorable NPCs or party members since its a very Dungeons and Dragons inspired RPG (so you create your own party basically with their backstories you make up using your imagination). The only iconic parts of FF1 in my opinion are Warrior of Light with most of his personality taken from Dissidia, Garland plus Chaos, and the White Mage and Black Mage design.
@@Nypholis The white mage in my static thought WoL was Cecil...
I stopped playing this game after 5.0 but the music is just too good to pass on
I think it's "the hands of fate TRAINED ahead", trained like to point or aim. I'm sure this has been pointed out though.
This beat just slaps!
FF XIII-2 vibes 👌
I enjoy the amount of Funk in this.
I thought this was gonna be Sapphire Weapon's theme! Goddammit, sarcastic thanks for any kind of spoiler warning >=\
*Before fight*
Elidibus: Come warrior of darkness this will be our fina- what are you doing...
*WoL and gang dancing*
WoL: This is what the bee’s knees dance was for!
Elidibus: *Level 4 limit break*
Holy wow 1:50 at 1.25x is amazing 😍
00:52 to 1:32 the vocals remind me of VIlle Valo
Kamelot-like vocals here, like hot dayum so fucking good.
Wow
What Is this? It's so amazing!!!! >:OOO
That wave... That fucking wave...
Random question, but is anyone able to tell me how the difficulty of the toughest FFXIV raids compares to WoW raids? I played WoW pretty hardcore (albeit a long time ago...) and I'm just now getting into FFXIV. I haven't experienced top tier raiding in FFXIV, and I'm not sure I ever will, I might be too old and doddery (and impatient) for it now.
Is it strange that I thought that extreme version of this fight I thought that Elidibus was going transform into Warrior of Light Ex form from the dissdia games.
Nikzedik we got something like that with Hades aka Emet.
Nikzedik while I agree with you it just make little more senses for Elidibus when transform into Warrior of Light he would go into the EX form of the Warrior of Light but I’m not person who made this discussion who knows maybe in future there could be chance that Zenos will control Zodiark or absorb Into him and could take humanoid like form of Zodiark or Armor of the appearance of it but we can’t be sure what will happen in 5.4-5.5 and future 6.0 expansion so we have to see what will happen though I happen our friend the scions don’t die and if they Y’shtola or the twins I’m going be pissed off.
Amazing video!
Where's my man Rald tho
He's on hiatus until 5.4
Through the entire storyline, I've never once felt bad for the ascians. Not even emet-selch. I always told myself they're the enemy and I should have no feelings for them...until 5.3 came and changed my mind. when I got to the final confrontation, it was black and white. He was evil, I was good and he needed to go. When the final battle was over and they sealed elidibus, I expected to see nothing, I expected to see the end as he faded into nothingness. Instead what I got was the sight of a broken man, a hollow husk who only wanted to see his people again, who only wanted what was taken from back. This time I felt hollow, my victory was bittersweet and as he faded I couldn't help but feel sad it had to end that way. It finally hit and I felt something for my longstanding enemy
But Elidibus refused to change to the last
This is something I would have expected one to take away from the confrontation w Emet-Selch
You have now become what you tried to destroy. You have become the Ascians in the same way he became the WOL.
You are the villain in his story.
@@DrFreezePHD they're all basically tempered, so trying to convince them to change is nigh impossible.
EdgeKun so are we.
@@acidsucre there's that theory, yeah, but not much to back it up atm besides headcanon
does anyone have any ideas on what the lyrics might be?
Looked up lyrics from a reddit thread, link in description, and added to subtitles until we get official ones!
Can't wait to wipe to this song over and over on EX difficulty.
Are ppl editing out that one cutscene to avoid spoilers? or that is not included in the EX fight?
Not included in EX
I don't even get mad when first timers fail the button mashing.
Not with this fight.
Dude, as a PS4 player... God damn
The only comparable experience I can think of was when Goku turned Super Saiyan 3 for the first time.
Is it me, or are they using the the theme from Amaurot during the lyric portions of this theme? It really sounds like that.
The whole song is a Tempest Remix and its godly
So many Final Fantasy 1 references.
Sooooo....How would i get this in an musical orchestra
I love it love it love it love it keep em comming fuck I tear up a little
Yo,love this song or hate it, you have to admit Raubahn can f**king sing.
The lyrics killed me
What is sad is that elidibus by hoping to stop zordiack expansion have created hydaelyn and tear the World he love appart
btw. How did you disable the black background behind your chatbox? :o
If you go to character configuration, in log details you have the log window transparency option. You can also access it by clicking the cog next to the chat box

Am I blind? I can't see Veraero on your hotbar and its bothering me as I know you are casting it haha!
All of the keybinds itself are on hidden hotbars, and the stuff on the hotbar that's visible are things that I want to track such as cooldowns or procs! The idea is that having abilities that don't "change" aren't required to be visible since you know which button does what anyway.
Either i'm tone death or what but I cant tell any differences?>
