What will happen to Answers?

You know, this cool song thingy? Apart from the opening cutscenes alluding to it, did the game even use it yet??

I sure hope 2.0 keeps it somehow. :confused:

I doubt they will toss away such a awesome song. Pretty much one of the songs Nobuo hit the nail on the head with in the soundtrack.

Hell it may just end up being the trailer/opening song for 2.0 it has the potential in it to be the stand out song for it.

Well, we never heard the Final Fantasy XI theme song aside from the opening CG either...but Answers hasn't truly been used in game aside from the muffled intro at the very beginning.

I hope it's the new CG song...because I quite enjoy it.

It was also performed in a distant worlds concert as well, I think.

Yes, Answers has been played during the Distant World's Concert's. Saw them play it live in St. Louis, was awesome.

When I was at the Distant Worlds 2011 in London, Susan Calloway sang "Memoro de la S^Tono + Distant worlds" (video made by me here.). She was pretty good.
Before the song the conductor Arnie Roth talked about XIV. He said something like "Susan sang the theme song for FFXIV, which is still struggling to come out". Giggles in the audience afterwards. 2.0 was announced less than one month before...

I bet Answers is gonna play during the last cutscene on the current version. Our adventure in the current XIV started with a "Walk free, walk free. Believe", could end the same way! Would be quite awesome to hear that track during Dalamud's "fall" :3
I think they used all the original tracks, just miss Answers and another one, a pretty long one I think would work with an epic multi-stage battle (Legatus Battle in 1.23 anyone?). Talking about this one.

The lyrics sort of fit the 2.0 world change, and they paid for the song, so maybe it will get used there

Don't worry.
It's vague and open enough to be used for anything.

I'm really hoping it will be like the "ending theme" to 1.0

Like, we defeat the big bad guy battle that will be released in 1.23, and after we kill him we get a bitchin cut-scene where in his final breath, he activates the machine that brings Dalamud down while the song plays.

It wasn't even that great... I wouldn't miss it if they got rid of it.
