I was just looking for a clues on bone ruins of a sea creature and then.. just wow. It was like "Are you kidding me right now?" My eyes were welling up yeah it was that good.(I know I'm a dork)

It had the same effect on me, it's too damn short like many of the open field songs but it's so gorgeous...

So I must be a dork too. Hehe.

Thank you for the name of the song!

I think I may be able to get the soundtrack on amazon. I think some people are selling pieces of their ce. On Westerly Winds does seem to be on the ce soundtrack.

I'm glad I'm not the only dork. I think it's the old band geek in me taking over from time to time.

<3 you guys

Just something that I think you'll like:

This guy definitely deserves the promotion. Listen to his other works. His take on "Of Waterwheel and Wailers" (Gridania day theme) is amazing.

The song from Upper La Noscea also plays around Raincatcher Gully in Eastern La Noscea. It's easily one of my favorite environment songs. The one that plays in various places in The Black Shroud, most notably outside of Quarrymill is worth mentioning too. (sounds like something out of Chrono Trigger to me)

<3 piano solo

I know i'm trolling in some way, but I feel it's alright in this instance, since I was gathering away in Upper La Noscea and had the most extraordinary music played, and then it started! Wow, what a stunning piece of music, that is so serenely soothing. It has layer upon layer of music. I don't normally go in for the ambience of MMO songs, I am so glad I heard this song playing when I was gathering for botanist quests. I know that it's designed to go with the moving round the zone. It seems we all have been touched by this little treasure.

"Wailers and Waterwheels" has that same effect on me. It reminds me of when I first started playing and all the people I made friends with who no longer play on my server.

The opening part of Serenity has that effect on me. After playing through the first few ARR beta sessions in Gridania & the black shroud (as it was the only choice), I spent the next session in Ul'dah/Thanalan when it was opened to us, then early release I started over in Limsa Lominsa as an Arcanist. When I got to the quest to fly to the other city states, Serenity was playing on the airship landing cutscene in Gridania, and it hit me. It was like "I'm home". Sometimes when I enter the Black Shroud, I'll just stand there and listen to the piano part at the beginning before going anywhere.

edit: I've never really given the Upper/Outer La Noscea theme the attention it deserves, despite being in those zones quite a bit. So, thank you for sharing. :)

This is one of my fav songs on the soundtrack... though, honestly, I go and listen to the whole of FF soundtracks as soon as I get my hands on them. Took me a while to find where this song played but....yep.
