I tried to mix in some other themes from the game. The medieval-like part is supposed to be the ending of "Night in the Brume". I skipped the outro and jumped straight to the final chords. No sheets were used. I did everything by ear and experimenting.
Although I am making music as a hobby, I hope that it is a worthy cover of the original theme
My favourite songs from Final Fantasy XIV?
I'd say my favourite is the Heavensward Trailer theme followed by the whole Crystal Tower OST and Sephirot's theme(the nostalgia in the 1st phase)

I love the creativity and vibes of Soken and Fox working to make really unique and exciting tracks! So I tried to follow that and add my own lyrics to meld with the song! It was really fun to create my own image and recording! I wore warm clothes as if I was in the inn wearing the Glacial Coat! ^^
My favourite songs are Bismarck - " Woe That is Madness", Knights of the Round Theme and Titan Final Fase!

My background is in folk music so I was trying to bring some of that. I was going for a European traditional dance, kinda like the Swedish Masquerade where the time signature changes part way. I was imagining a couple's dance where the first, faster part is like a polka/schottish; and the 2nd slower part is a waltz, promenade or where the dancers find new partners (a chance for them to talk to each other). I did take a bit of artistic liberty on the second slower part, but I think I kept the main elements of the original.
My favourite songs are: Shiva's theme, Midas 4 theme (soo good), and Answers

I loosely arranged the striking parts into a multiple-guitar cover. I figured since it's a somber piece, I'd not use drums or a drumcomputer, but guitar percussion, which I layered towards the end to create a bongo-like feeling. For extra emotion and personal touch, I wrote a solo while often returning to the Ishgard motif to connect with the original piece. At the end, the more somber and sad part gives way to a variation found in the Ishgard day theme, signaling the ending night.
My favorite songs from FF XIV are without ordering:
Oblivion (Ramuh Primal Theme),
Heavensward Intro,
Foundation Day (since I already covered night here, I'll mention the day theme :) )
I've just looked at the NA Forums and I saw that some interpreted "submission title" as giving a name to your arrangement. I have one as well, but I didn't post it since I thought it's supposed to be just the youtube name, just as the others here did. The submission title for my arrangement is "Dawn in the Brume".

Composed by ear in Mixcraft, my rendition blossoms from my first steps into Ishgard - the apprehension felt at receiving cynical glances & being in a new & unfamiliar place.
To discovering the richness & hidden gems of Ishgard as I traveled between the Aethernets. I also added the familiar harp arpeggios for a nostalgic twinge.
The end of the song expresses a regal kind of sorrow. That the Pillars sit above Foundation, riches to rags, a stark contrast; I tried to convey through a choral ending.
Favourite songs from FINAL FANTASY XIV:
"Ul'Dah Night Theme ~ Sultana Dreaming"
"Garuda's Theme ~ Fallen Angel"
...and I am quite partial to a bit of "Good King Moggle Mog XII" \m/
Good luck to everyone across Eorzea!

'Night in the Brume' is a fantastic track made from Masayoshi Soken, there is so much to the track that it was hard to choose which parts to mix. I originally wanted to do a full orchestral mix, but went with a more chilled, 'nod your head kind of track'. Really happy with how it came out! Everything you hear has been done by ear (I can't read sheet music) and I've added a few other FFXIV related jingles in there too, can you notice them? I also include a little tribute in the track (not sampled, recreated to the best of my ability) as I noticed it followed a similar chord progression. I really hope you enjoy this as much I had making it! Thank you for taking the time to listen! Listen with headphones/watch in 720p for the best quality!
My top FFXIV tracks:
Penitus
Torn from the Heavens
Borderless

This is my rendition of "Night in the Brume." It's inspired by some of my favorite tracks from past games in the final fantasy series. Some details of the recording are in the video description. Hope you enjoy.
Top 3 tracks?
Nemesis - This track brings back good memorys. And reminds me of farming Tonberry King for allagan tombstones of philosophy.
Answers - This would definatly have to be one of them. Especialy after hearing it live at Distant worlds in London.
Contention - I could Stand at Zenith all day listening to that track.

This contest is perfect to test my skills for the ideal audience!
My biggest dream is to turn this hobby into a job, so i can create more musical envisions for everyone to enjoy!
I hope you guys like this one... My version of The Brume
It was a lot of fun creating it! :)

Pickin' In The Brume
This was great fun! I enjoy transposing various kinds of music onto guitar in a kind of chord-melody way... I think this one turned out pretty good
Without a doubt my favourite piece of music from FFXIV is The Warrens. Sooo atmospheric! Sooooooo good!
Thanks for everything!

Scicilienne in The Brume- A Musical Prayer.
I had great fun arranging my rendition of Night in the Brume, and making my RSE to wear in the video. I based my rendition on visiting the Cathedral in the early hours, as the night was ending and a new day beginning, to offer a prayer of music to St Reymanaud. Playing music on my voilin all alone in the Cathedral, I felt peace.I composed the piece by ear and used some of the later theme to add contrast as well as altering the rythmn a little on the triplets. I wish everyone good luck.
My favorite pieces in FFXI are 'On Westerly Winds' King Thordan' Battle music and 'Antitower'
Oops FFXIV sorry :3

Hi all. I was inspired by the awesome contributions and decided to give it a shot. I particularly like the Alexander, Calcabrina and Ramuh theme. Thank you! ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ

Adding my contribution, I liked the overlapping of sections when the triplet section comes up, so decided to do a duet for this... with myself.
My favourite songs from FFXIV are;
- Under the weight
- Fiend
- Fallen Angel
I love the high tempo music especially, and all 3 of them have made their way onto my "Final Fantasy workout" theme :D

A trumpet duet
This version of Night in the Brume from Final Fantasy XIV, composed by Masayoshi Soken, is a trumpet duet arranged by myself and recorded with me and my music teacher. I used the original sheet music, while making it fit with for a trumpet duet.
I apologize for the video proportions. I recorded with my phone standing up.

My favorite FFXIV songs
- Answers
- Dragonsong
- Calamity Unbound
Video here: https://youtu.be/ZYBxldYQQec
NOTE: I live in Switzerland which is excluded from the countries that are allowed to take part in the contest. However I still wanted to give this a shot and made my own version of the theme because I thought it could be fun. Also because I am not allowed to win I didn't care much about the time-limit~
Description: Here my version of the theme "Night in the Brume". I tried to keep it calm and slow, fitting for a music that would play at night. Also I tried to add some cold tunes like bright bells and windchimes to give this a cold feeling. And as a contrast a nice warm bass that hopefully melts the ice a little.
My favourite songs: In Heavensward it's clearly "Painted Foothills"!! In ARR I like "Dawn of a New Era" the most although I really loved the live performance of "Oblivion" a the EU Fan Festival. Back in the first version of FFXIV and my 3rd title I want to mention is "Twilight over Thanalan" which I really miss~

On The Rocks
Comment:
One of the locked doors in the Brume surely hides a seedy underground bar, where the shadier elements of the society gather. The clink of shot glasses, lighting barely catching the darkest corners and booths, smoke lingering in the air, people minding their own business.. but still somehow warm and cozy, a retreat from the cold stone and strict rules. I wanted to try to capture this ambience with some of my own flair, hoping the arrangement is still recognizable enough to fits the rules! :)
Favourites:
- The Maker's Ruin (Ultima Weapon first form)
- Heroes (King Thordan story mode)
- Slumber Eternal (Sohm Al)

Thank you for putting together this competition! I really enjoyed taking part and creating this piece. After bouncing a lot of guitar based ideas around, I opted for a fully acoustic cover that remained faithful to the original song and incorporated a peaceful "sitting around the campfire" feel.
My favourite three FFXIV songs, (Not an easy question!)
- Answers (Takes me back to the end of v.1.0)
- Spiral (From The Binding Coil of Bahamut)
- Homestead (Night time theme from Idylshire)

I based it on the central motif of the piece and then played around with it.
Favourite tracks:

- Calcabrina Theme
- Gilgamesh Theme (Battle on the Big Bridge)

______________________________________________________
Description:
This is a collaboration with two friends of mine. Roze, who sang vocals, and Kieran, who did the guitar solo and lead guitar parts. I wanted the lyrics to make more sense, so I indirectly brought in a few important characters into the lyrics, as well as the dragonsong war in general.
Favorite songs:
Oblivion (Shiva fight theme)
Night in the Brume
Stone and Steel (Plays during Heavensward hunts and the Grand Melee, among other scenes)

Title: Just Bruming Around
For my entry I wanted to write a song that captured the spirit of the original while also offering something new and exciting. So I used the theme itself as a foundation and wove it into a piano piece with quite a few original parts.
The beginning is basically a recreation of the original theme while the ending offers a loose interpretation of the organ part. Everything in between is a mix of striking melodies, some variations and my own compositions.
Please enjoy! :)
Favorite Songs:
- King Thordan's Theme
- Ultima Weapon's Theme
- Zenith

Title: A Night in the Castle
I am 13 years of age and still in Secondary School. For this project I decided to use the acoustic guitar for the main body of the arrangement as that was what I felt worked. Since Ishgard is practically a giant castle I decided to film the video at some castle ruins nearby, which to me felt like it suited Ishgard.
My Favourite song from FFXIV: Battle on the Big Bridge (Gilgamesh Theme)
Dragonsong
Syrcus Tower (Out of the Labyrinth)

I hope it's not too late, I tried the whole day yesterday to log into the forums but it wouldn't let met :/
Anyway, I recorded the arrangement before the sheet music was released, so everything is by ear. I sneaked in the main melodies of the other 3 cities at the end :D
Favourite tracks are Final Respite (Please find a way for this song to return!) and Wailers And Waterwheels for sure.
The submission period has come to a close. Thank you for all the wonderful entries!
Sound director Soken will be showcasing the finalists and selecting the winners during Nico Nico Chokaigi 2016 on April 29 & 30!
