Final Fantasy XI: Rise of the Zilart - The Sanctuary of Zi'tah - Extended

- UPDATE: Sorry about the wait! Real-life stuff has unfortunately gotten the better of me for a while, so I wasn't able to upload. Anyway, let's begin!
Ohohohoho! Get ready for the raid! Hello, esteemed viewer, and welcome to AET2.001k. What's that mean? Why, Amateur Extension Theater 2001, of course! Bleh. It's a working title, alright?
Here it comes: Yet ANOTHER extension from a Square Enix/Squaresoft game. Don't worry, don't worry, variety will come soon. How soon? Unknown! That's the beauty of vague words!
Final Fantasy XI, released in Japan in May of 2002, was Square Enix's first foray into the realm of MMOs. Final Fantasy-based ones, anyway. When it was released, it was an instant hit. However, it got old due to Final Fantasy XIV being better quality, and while PC servers are still up (but empty, as one would expect), PS2 and Xbox 360 servers are down for the count.
This track, titled the Sanctuary of Zi'tah from composer Naoshi Mizuta, is a calming, yet moody little tune that I sadly have not been able to find extensions of. So here it is! Originating from the FFXI expansion titled Rise of the Zilart, released in 2003 for NA and JP and for Europe in 2004 (man, Europe was left out on the action even before Fire Emblem 14, huh?) the Sanctuary of Zi'tah is, from what I can tell, from an area of the same name. It featured some mid-level monsters ranging from levels 25-40, and some big baddies ranging up to level 70. Needless to say, this was not the tutorial area.
The slow, careful-yet-carefree sound of the music is the most enticing part; this track blends many ideas and emotions together into one harmonious melody.
Well, I guess that's all for now, folks! Next up may or may not be a Square Enix track from a fairly well-known game, and possibly some Fantasy Life, so stay tuned, and God bless.

What a good dream FFXI was.
Even the few that hated me, I hope that life has treated you well.
It was such a good thing - to carry my Dark Knight through that universe, and dream that dream with you all.
Goodbye.
This music floods me with memories of friends i'll never speak to again. I will always remember my time in Vana'diel.
I used to afk here just for the music. I miss this game so much. It really did get me through a lot of things in real life.
Oh the amount of bat blood I spilled to this tune...
I remember escorting a couple lower level LS mates to Zi'tah just to hear the music. Those were the days. Kujata server, RidersOnTheStorm LS. Tomo, Songbird, Motosuwa, Vania, Hellsmasher, Vorkosigan, and everyone else from the shell it's been over 15 years since we last me but wherever you are mates I hope that life has been good to you. - Dratian, MNK
I use to come to Zi'tah just to sit, listening to the music and talking in my LS with my friends, this makes me miss this game so much 💜
Farming Goobbues for Tree Cuttings... ahh those were the days...
The trees, the rain, your footsteps, the creatures, the always foggy atmosphere and this music... So perfect. My favorite place in all the game. I miss this game with all my heart, not just the game itself, but the time when I was playing it.... This strong Memory is always present in my brain and heart, missing the better days...
There are some FFXI Private servers that are AMAZING to play on, and keep the 2005 feel alive. Check out Nasomi for a solid server with, at the time of writing this, over 700 people currently logged on.
Eden is about as populated as Nasomi.
if you want a more true to the core 75 cap server Eden is better.
If you want a ton of custom changes that make no sense (in my opinion anyway) then Nasomi is better
both servers have their downsides though. i wont go into detail as there are a lot of them.
Just play live, the game is as good now as it’s ever been.
If only SE would make this game free to play and make beast men seals and kindred seals a real money buy item. I'd play the shit out of this game again
I remember when I first walked into this zone it was so soothing and relaxing that I literally just chilled there for a solid 2 hours or more. This is definitely my number 1 favorite zone in that whole game because no matter how bad or pissed I was in my life that zones atmosphere just enveloped me with its sound and forest that I would forget I had a bad day. I will forever love this game.
Somehow I think my youth is in this game. I cry each time I listen to this..
My favorite FFXI song for sure. So many greats, but this takes it. This song being so many emotions for me. Besides missing those days of playing this game. I wish I could go back. Life was good.
This song has helped me through a lot of depression and suicidal thoughts back when I played XI. To this day the song has helped still. It's a calming song.
Sephiroth Arcaina Isn't it? I was surprised nobody had extended it.
Happy you’re still here to share the story ❤️✌️
When I was a teenager playing FFXI I would often find myself sitting on a fallen tree overlooking the path lost in the melody, it was a safe space from the depression and stress and to this day when things get rough I have this saved to boot up and find that peace and calm the melody brings.
I'm glad we're all still here and writing the chapters of a story we almost didn't get to share
@@arcaydeaxiii5611 FFXI is seeing a huge resurgence, it's the 20th anniversary. People are coming back in droves. Mostly on the Asura server. The gear now is nuts. You should come back.
@@egonwilhelmbremer-strauss2607 im slowly playing it as its my first time :D
So many good memories of spending time in parties as a Taru Bard/Whm and Rdm/Nin. If you're reading this, even if we didn't party together, I hope you're enjoying this walk down memory lane. Such a fantastic game, forever etched into my heart.
💯
When it comes to FFXI music, this one comes to mind first for me. I am glad I am not the only one loving this zone and music.
It's the best music in the game
I can't count how many times I fell asleep to this doing homework is high school. Still one of the most soothing song I can find 15 years later
years ago, i would go and park my character in this zone just so i could hear the song while i did my home work
every now and then the music from this astounding game enters my mind, and i have to look up some of my favorite tracks. listening to them always transports me back to those days i no-lifed this game. some of the most fun ive had gaming even though this game was such a grind. just something that can never be replicated
that game is forever the best MMO!!! miss you Odin server LimitBreak guild :) we were the best there ever was on FFXI .
by far, to me, the best zone music of the game.
Farming for the rain hat just to listen to this music.
This is a beautiful track, the flutes add a wonderful melody and I really enjoy it!❤😍💯
Yung buda
I remember trio'ing shinigami weapon as nin/rng, my friend itude as drg/whm, and rotech as war/nin...and i sat listening to this song for an hour doing homework until the window was open. one of the best and most memorable experience's for me. /fenrir
Damn man I played on fenrir back in the day my main was a Galka Sam/war named Blackice
All the friends i will never chat with again, choco- ing to The Tree to level. I will never forget my 10 years playing this game. Now everything is done every expansion every boss. Goodbye FF11. I will never forget it.
Siren server. Larcon. Looking for a group.
I miss this game so goddamn much
Check out private server Eden, it’s 75 cap based around 2005 era.
Just reminds me of all that beast grinding, leeches and goblins coming after me. Nothing was better than this!
I’m not crying, you’re crying.
Lots of homework done with this in the background.
Without question the best FFXI song
/Epic nostalgia.
Miss the game so much, will be forever in my heart and in my brain, i had a dream about it few days ago and i quit in 2014, i was Thunderjulot and Hotin on Asura server, a top SAM, BLM and NIN, one of the first player to have upgraded amanomurakumo GK relic to lvl99 and i led some of the best HNM LS there for years, VaeVictis, Zealot and Losnoobs as far as i recall, we killed everything, hello and farewell my friends of this epic adventure i played for 10 years if you read me~
PS: it burned my life for 10 years and more tho haha...
There are free servers out there if you want to come back :)
@@obakemano I mean i miss the fun times and epic adventures with people but i played the game so much in fact lol around 20.000-30.000 hours during 10 years, enough and i wouldnt start a MMO again for this reason.
Same here, quit around 2014 2015. Nameless from Kujata, if u remember Rune Axe Drk zerg, that was my creation :)
@@pochen23 I heard from it i think, i played DRK for years also on another char.
Ah sweet memories of getting horribly lost on the way to the Boyahda(Booyah)Tree to meet up with my party.
Loving it. Anyone still playing?🙂
I will be returning in 2 days after a short hiatus from small payment issues ^_^
Funny how the song has a same feel of "Stairway to Heaven". Which is also heading towards "Sky"
It's a shame this song isn't used in escha zitah and the original sanctuary of zitah zone is so rarely visited these days.
Miss u mewl.
Every where with Kitty Cats worked for me😄. But Voyager is still my fave song. Gone fishing instead of wishing.
When visiting a redwood forest, this song came into mind xD
Greetings from FFXV!
Samuel Sobral Hmm? Does this track exist there?
@@monoceros669 Yeah. It's a purchasable track in-game. XV was my first FF, so I've found the song trough there.
@@samuelsobral3953 thats so wild that this track is in there. Neat.
この曲ひきたいな
I would really love a 10 hour loop of this like they've got for corridors of time and that Chrono cross one, but for now I just put it in a playlist by itself on repeat. I play this in one tab and some rain and thunder or blizzard ambience in another. Or one with crickets and frogs etc. There is a "nap time in zi'tah ASMR" one but it sucks. The "ASMR" part (the wind etc) is way too loud. Also ASMR isn't a thing.
The Chrono cross one is "dream of the shore bordering another world"
Im sorry this is the same Version that played in game?
I have 7 years in ffxi but i remember it a bit different, Im probably wrong
Yes, this is the same song ^^
@@dragumkirisute1998 thx
Look up FFXI Horizon server! The best private server out there. It's 75 "era+" 4000+ people on daily. I promise you won't regret it.
Does it require a subscription?
@@joeym7911 ignore private servers, they are all bad. Most of the hardheaded "75 era" crap refuses to make any quality of life adjustments to make it friendlier, because the yare trying to recapture memories they had 16 years ago. Also, I have YET to see a PS that has any story content past ToAU, they are always buggy as fuck
@@TheGhostofMrArthursthat's because quality of life ruined what made FFXI so special, why do you think people are actually playing horizon over the retail servers? Retail these days hand you literally everything.
@@dragumkirisute1998 no, TIME ruined it. We arent teens and young adults anymore. We have careers and families, cant be jacking around at fafnir. And no, retail is actually more fun now, or it was in 2020 when I quit, because it's more solo friendly, you arent handed shit, aeonics are harder than any REM old world. Those things are just time and gil sinks. UC nms are a good challenge, odyssey, sortie, etc. What you want is those days where groups had to compete for pops, and waste days camping argus. Fuck that.
@@TheGhostofMrArthursyou play a MMO to PLAY with people, not solo the entire experience. Trusts make the game easy mode. I've said this countless times, but there's no point arguing with people who clearly never played 75 cap. (Not saying that you didn't play 75 cap btw.)
