As good as the English VAs typically are, Alexandria is a prime example of why I'll always play this game with Japanese voices. (Speaking the language is another strong reason, admittedly.). If you haven't heard Sphene's performance in Japanese on this dungeon, you need to....
I played the english dub and like it a lot so for science I swap to JP and I think I cry the 1st time I heard her speak at the start. JP Sphene does indeed sounds very innocent and you can hear the cry for desperation. I may consider replaying DT in JP next time around on my alt.
"Have you heard? King Husky is here!" One of the best tracks of the expansion. The music of FFXIV will never be divisive, only unifying. Well, maybe except Smile, that one is divisive as heck 🤣
I like exactly half of Smile. Choirs are real great. I really think we're gonna get detail coming out that the music and localisation team were rushed. Seeing as how much reused music there is and how many bad takes, even from the old scions, there were. Its a crime because Soken kills it so much and Wuk Lamat actually has some *great* line delivery, but all anybody talks about is Smile and the one bad take during the final boss.
@@icyjiub2228 It's best to not allow the negativity of a few dictate the entire landscape. They'll never see the full picture. What is this nonsense about their being a lot of reused music? Are we talking about an overall lack of new tracks for this expansion? That would be factually untrue. Are we referring to how many times we hear the same tracks from this expansion being used for cutscenes? If it's the latter, are we choosing to ignore how Shadowbringers, for example, has done the exact same thing and many declare that the best expansion of all? What is this collective delusion the community has created for itself?
@@Hawkenwhacker I was more specifically referring to the usage of Endwalker Blasphemy tracks for newer events and the myths of the realm lietmotif for a cutscene, and I'd make a distinction between the old tracks from ARR that have been getting played forever, and the ones that are stuck in my mind as being tied to ShB and EW
@@icyjiub2228 There is very much a distinction between ARR and ShB / Endwalker. I'd wager it has everything to do with the emotional association attached to them. With how often people meme about ARR being slow and boring, perhaps that's why that distinction is able to exist. As far as Myths of the Realm, my mind is always brought back to Dawn of a New Era, which plays at the very end of ARR. We each take a different path, where we travel different roads with varying experiences, but they all converge back into one.
The madness motif or whatever it's called near the middle and near the end is so emotional. You really feel the love between Sphene and her people, and her despaired determination to preserve her devotion even at the cost of the world.

So the only thing better than this FABULOUS cover is downloading the audio and time-syncing it with the RUclips OST orchestral music from in-game and adjusting this one down a tiny bit. What a track that is!!! Guitar mixed with orchestral is simply sublime.
Alexandria might be my favorite dungeon in all of FF14. It's one of the few dungeons that tells a story and expands upon the narrative without just being a cutscene. The music is obviously incredible and this remix is gorgeous - Husky really killing it with the DT tunes. While sticking with similar musical leitmotifs, I'm super looking forward to a Husky Interphos remix (fingers crossed)!
@@SuperRamos619 Yup, I love those dungeons too, but Alexandria has been the most successful at doing it for me. They try to do it with the regular dungeons too but aren't always successful. Alexandria dungeon does a way better job telling the story of the last several zones than several hours of non-interactive cutscenes and exposition in the MSQ did.
@rhombusx I think the cool thing about Amexandria, is that while all 3 are showing us events of the past, we are actively witnessing the erasure of that history in Alexandria because she is deleting the memories. That's just a cool theme.
@@SuperRamos619bruh... Dawntrail is literaly shadowbringers 2.0 But with a shittier story. There are a metric ton of refferences to shadowbringers. From gear, dungeons, area's, npc's even the part where they have zoraal ja being passive towards us up until the 2nd half. Like emet-selch. Only realy becoming hostile at the end and then making us feel bad for him when we beat him. Tho that didnt work so well for zoraal ja. Cause he was an idiot with a pointless endgoal that wouldn't have worked regardless
I just did the dungeon and trial as a healer for first time to help a friend finish the story- and I have had to hold back my tears during the run. Now it's pouring out because I'm listening to this before bed.
I love this channel lol just wonderful music and an incredibly beautiful performance. Congratulations man. I really like the way you interpret these wonderful songs.
I never noticed the bit of purple on the XIV guitar. Dang! Amazing cover! Thoroughly have been enjoying your content since I found the 300+ Endwalker medley!
Husky, you Sir are a Music Legend! I believe that Square should hire you for the in-game music! Another masterpiece, very well done! You always touch my soul & I love you forevermore!
@@manustvz Yes! The first time i heard the Alexandria/Last Area theme, i knew i already heard a variation of it somewhere else, and beige a big fan of Vladimir Kosma, it didnt take me long :D
WE ARE SO BACK IN FF9
(Sphene did nothing wrong let me simp)
I agree!
As a fellow sphene apologist--I see you brother. Great track!
I didn't know wanting to be a great leader and protecting your people was doing something wrong!
@@drosc1 Is a Sphene apologist the Final Fantasy 14 equivalent as a Eren Jaeger Apologist?

とても良い動画を投稿してくださり、ありがとうございます!
Thank you for pointing that out. I noticed the lalafel just now haha.
Greetings from holland :)
Hope all is well in japan
God the first time I heard this song it almost made me cry
Husky you captured that feeling once again what an amazing cover
The madness motif or whatever it's called near the middle and near the end is so emotional. You really feel the love between Sphene and her people, and her despaired determination to preserve her devotion even at the cost of the world.
The Living Memory melody has become my favorite in the entire 10+ years of the game. Thanks for the cry, friend.
' for Memories of better days, I bid us to Rock out! '
"If I smile it is because you all smile for me"
The first 8 measures of this song in game are imho a perfect composition, and you nailed that first verse's feeling here!
Oh look, it’s our Vow of Rock. ❤
One of my most favourite tracks in Dawntrail. And your cover is perfect!
Thank you!!! 🩵
The best dungeon theme in Dawntrail.
I still prefer the Cenote but there's no wonder why they used _this one_ in the trailer
Alexandria at first seems like the complete opposite to Amaurot and The Dead Ends
Amaurot is the best one for me. But damn alexandria is quite hype

Been my latest obsession lately with this song. Endless repeat.
I’ve just straight up started playing Husky’s versions of these songs when I’m actually running the dungeons. It’s brings a whole new energy to them.
"We done it! We preserve *bzzt* Husky!"
I don't fully know why but this tune is one of the most sad & feels-inducing from FFXIV in a while, great cover 👍👍
"Have you heeeee, Princess Sphene is heeea"
“HUUUUUUSKY! I UNDERSTAND NOW!” Wuk Lamat said calmly.
Five minutes and twenty-one seconds of persistent goosebumps. Thank you Husky!!

thanks husky, making the work day more bearable
My favorite track in Dawntrail. Thank you Husky!!! 😄😭
Absolutely beautiful song made even more beautiful (and awesome) - the whine? (its a good whine!) of the guitar really gives me goosebumps!
YEAAAAAAA!! I've been waiting for you to get around to this BANGER 🔥
This song is my absolute favourite out of every song this expansion. Thank you so much for making it even more epic in a different way!! ♥
I just did the dungeon and trial as a healer for first time to help a friend finish the story- and I have had to hold back my tears during the run. Now it's pouring out because I'm listening to this before bed.
*hugs* 😊
You'll be alright~ we all have cried once or twice in the game. Ur not alone in this 😊
“Have you heard? Husky’s new jam is here!”
I love this channel lol just wonderful music and an incredibly beautiful performance. Congratulations man. I really like the way you interpret these wonderful songs.
Husky, just been feeding us extra, EXTRA good with these covers in the past month.
Much love!
I always /pray when we get to that midway point and gotta wait for the blimp to crash.
/pray
"May we meet again, Your Highness!"
The Alexandria leit motif is so fkn goooood.. I love all the songs it's featured in :')
"If i smile, It's because you all smiles for me" 😢 best dungeon song in Dawntrail for me
Good work very nice cover 👍
I never noticed the bit of purple on the XIV guitar. Dang!
Amazing cover! Thoroughly have been enjoying your content since I found the 300+ Endwalker medley!
"Painful memories of war I lay to rest."
Lovely and sad music at the same time, every time I hear it, it brings tears to my eyes
Chills ! Litterally chill from the first sound at the very end
I was thinking " it'd be great if the song went rock/metal". Im happy that i wasn't the only one who had that thought
This was a powerful song for a powerful moment. It really drove in the majesty that was Alexandria before tragedy hit.
I was waiting for this :D
I was waiting all month for this, awesome cover Husky and thank you
My work playlist is starting to slowly turn in to Husky Work Playlist 😭 I love this covers so much! And this one really hit the feels
Have you heard? Queen Sphene is here... And she's ready to ROCK!

Hooting and hollering at this. Thank you so much for the food and the tabs Husky!!
I have fallen to my hands and my knees BEGGING for a Seeking Purpose cover
What a wonderful rock arrangement…!

Lovely. I actually love this melody as soon as I heard it in game. I can't wait to hear the ex have some kind of motif
One of my Favorite ! Thank you Husky ;)
And here it is, the remaster I was waiting for!❤
Husky is an endless...source of great covers.
I love this track so much. Great job dude. ❤
