Please bring back Susan Calloway

Dear SE, Please bring back Susan Calloway for more arrangements. I understand potentially wanting a different sound for an expansion but I miss what has been a staple of the early expansion trailers.

She was good but the new person is good as well. Everyone has a time when they want to move onto something else and I wouldn't expect her to do it forever.

idk who that is can you post examples

The song Answers is sung by Susan Calloway ie one of the main ending themes for 2.0 1.0 and used in Elpis where the quests for the end of Elpis are actual lyrics from that song (Answers)

oh neat, yeah bring her back!

"Answers" is still my favourite song in the entire game. Something about the arrangement and her singing is so emotive and haunting, I do like the new songs, but they don't touch Answers for me. I think I just prefer the dramatic themes over the rock stuff (Heavenswards theme is my close second lol).

I think I might be the only person who finds "Flow" to be a very weird song, it's kind of cold. I wonder if Susan Calloway would have done it differently.

I saw Susan at Distant Worlds years back, Nobuo was here as well (he sat 3 seats down from me and it took everything to contain myself), and she was amazing live. Which is fantastic since some artists are nowhere near as strong live as they are in recordings.

She was amazing and seemed so cheerful and happy to be there. To me, she will always be the voice of Final Fantasy music, just like Nobuo will always be the best FF composer to me.

Being someone around during 1.x who was there on the night the servers went down and the End of an Era trailer played for the first time, Answers will always be special to me.

I would be happy to see her back, but the song needs to be good. Revolutions was nice, but failed to live up to the previous two.

Also the Shadowbringers main theme + Endwalker Footfalls are fantastic, and I wouldn't give those up for anything. I think I'm happy to let them surprise me.

Yeah, it's a bit strange. I thought we would hear something new from her in EW since she was supposed to be "the voice" of Hydaelyn in the first expansions.

Saw her perform at the Eorzean Symphony in Dortmund in 2018 and had the pleasure of meeting her, Soken and Yoshi-P as you could get a VIP ticket.

Her performance of Answers was amazing and so was the whole show but yes please more of her.

Susan worked mostly with Nobou, on Distant Worlds (the answers of ff11) and his ff14 tracks answers,dragonsong and revolutions. Soken has his own pick of vocalist so since he's the main composer and not Nobou anymore, no more susan

For those who haven't heard it. Man do I miss the glory days of this game. Was such an amazing game with rich narratives and lore so deep you can likely never get through it all. Man the things I would do for a remaster.
