It's missing the classic piano and only has the second part which was added in FFIV I think, that might be why it's harder to recognize.
You can hear it pretty clearly in ARR's title theme

Never have I felt such anticipation for an expansion. Hope fills me. Will this be a home run for Square Enix and for us players? We will know in five weeks.

you resume my feeling totally... excited and can't wait... Stormblood is too far

Yeah the trailer looked amazing. I'll leave picking apart stuff when I play the story.
The theme song wasn't as good as answers but it was as good as the heavensward one.

Hopefully in the next expansions they make it less about the lyrics and more about the emotion. Answers above anything had emotion through sounds. In stormblood the emotion through lyrics felt forced at some points.

Calloway is a nice singer but they're focusing all the song's performance on her as if she was the point of the song instead of balancing the singing and the instruments/composition properly so that the composition drives the song and not solely/mostly on the artist singing.

honestly answer was extremely good, it was the theme that did end a time and announce the rebirth of ff14, it was epic.
dragonsong was epic in another sense, we was facing an something big, the dragon war was not small.

but here this theme is very nice for different reason, it slowly building into a strong song, not because we join something already big, we are at the start of something big, it's a build up for the whole song!

I am not really sure about the new theme. It really did not give me the feelings like answer and dragonsong did. Also I did not feel like they matched the scenes that well.
The story it self seems to be quite a lot about fighting. (I lol'ed a little at the campfire scenes which felt like a copy of the HW one) and I can already see that we will lose another round of friends in that conflict. (Not that I have much NPCs that I love still alive x))

Maybe its just me but it kinda felt like it showed way to much, so I still hope that the story itself brings lots of surprises.

Also kinda wonder if part of the conversation with the Auri will change depending on your race? I would feel a little sad if they would not react at least a little bit if you are an Au Ra WoL.

Hyped, still 27 days till early acess.

I feel inclined to agree. With the Dragonsong video, a lot of interesting scenes were shown, but you don't know what's going on because the most important part of any one of those scenes is the dialog. By contrast, with Revolutions I feel like I'm going into the expansion with a pretty good idea of how the entire main plot will unfold.

@Blueeyes: At least we already know (thanks to the trailer) that we will get the help from the Auri in yellow clothes since they can be seen later on those mounts.

I know that trailers are there to create interest but maybe a short one with less scenes would have been nice. We already know that the place where the resistance lives is going to be attacked by the bad guy and who fights him. We might not know the ending to that but still would have been a nice surprise in the game itself. Also Alisae attacking like that, this would have been quite the "O_O" moment ingame too.

Maybe I should just stop watching FF14 trailers x)''.
