The song gains a powerful Meaningful Echo in Endwalker, playing at the time of Amaurot's Final Days, with Venat becoming Hydaelyn to sunder the worlds and restart life. It's played in three sections for the three-phase battle, the best being the third part when he readies Teraflare. It comes back as the theme of the Final Boss of the Binding Coil storyline, Bahamut Prime himself. Being played in the final scene of 1.0, it became one of the most memorable songs in the game's history. "Answers" is a wonderful combination of epic/awesome. It makes its glorious return in 5.2 during the second phase of the Ruby Weapon trial. A perfect final boss theme for the fight against Nael Deus Darnus, with REALLY freaky lyrics to boot. Soken then capped off his debut period, and Legacy XIV, with "Rise of the White Raven"."Good King Moggle Mog, Good King Mog! Lord of all the land!" It's " This is Halloween" combined with the Moogle Theme, and given ridiculously absurd and hilarious lyrics (which also describe the boss fight!). And what did Soken follow that up with? "Good King Moggle Mog XII".Who was going to replace him? Some guy named Masayoshi Soken? Who's he? He's never done a Final Fantasy game before! How could his music possibly be as good as the Maestro's? And then the Garuda fight was released. When it was announced that Uematsu would not be contributing more tracks to XIV going forward after the leadership shake-up at the start of A Realm Reborn's development, people were worried.Eventually made its return in 3.5 as the theme of Sohm Al Hard Mode. "Quicksand", Thanalan's 1.0 battle theme, goes in hard on the guitar while fighting some enemies."The Forests Pulse", the Black Shroud's 1.0 battle theme, is a mystically daunting track for fighting within the Elementals' domain."Tears for Mor Dhona", Mor Dhona's 1.0 theme, is imposing and truly awesome, later being reused for Heavensward's Palace of the Dead to capture the lingering dread as you delve deeper into the dungeon."Twilight Over Thanalan" rarely goes without mention, a sweeping piano track originally for Ul'dah, repourposed into cutscene music for more somber moments.A shame it's reserved for the Limsa Lominsa version of the opening cutscene. "On Windy Meadows" is a pretty cool and chill guy, playing in the fields of La Noscea.It, thankfully, wasn't lost to time, as it has been preserved in the form of an orchestrion scroll that you can use and playback on your personal orchestrion anytime. Navigator's Glory was so awesome it was the theme song for the pre-release website for a long time. But when you first got off the boat? Whoa. Its only crime is being a little too short and thus tending to get a little tiresome if you spend a real long time in the city. "Navigator's Glory", the theme of Limsa Lominsa, was awesome. Most of the Legacy city themes were "nice".
