Looking for a song from the game suitable for a first dance

Alright, I need some help!

My partner and I met playing this game and are currently planning our real life eternal bond ceremony (in other words: we're getting married). Since FFXIV holds a special place in our hearts we wanted to pick a song from the game for our first dance - and heres where we need some help: Neither of us is a good dancer, we'll take some lessons of course but those wont be able to correct my complete lack of sense of rythm (honestly, I'm unable to clap to a beat) or our general clumsiness.

So what we need is a song thats very simple to dance to; we were thinking of a waltz maybe? (Since thats supposed to be easy to learn/dance, right?) But we'd be open to other styles of dance as long as they're easy to learn (even for total beginners)!

We were hoping that some of you guys, who have a better understanding of how music and dances work, could maybe make some suggestions? (It would be helpful if you could mention what kind of dance would go with the song)
(I had identified "The hand that gives the rose" as some kind of waltz, but the "chanting" in the background is not ideal - thats as far as my ability to identify things in songs goes, though)

Thanks in advance!

Vamo' alla Flamenco?

FFXIV OST Eulmore Theme #1 ( Indulgence )

Music in the true Viennese tradition.

Congratulations to you both Vidu! :D

I second VeKallor's suggestion of Indulgence, although it's actually the second Eulmore day theme not the first (Pain and Pleasure is the original Eulmore day theme during Vauthry's reign).

Another suggestion could be the daytime theme for Old Sharlayan The Ewer Brimmeth, although that does have some distored lyrics by Amanda Achen taken from Flow, but it's a suitably slow and gentle piece perfect for a slow waltz.

Either way, congrats once again! :D

I find this one to be lovely~

Yes, and she still hasn't answered my texts :v

Thanks for all the suggestions! I dont think we're skilled enough for a Flamenco, but the waltz-pieces sound lovely! I hadnt even thought about Eulmore, which only goes to show how deaf my music-ear is (as in: I enjoy the music greatly, but I'm not able to identify anything about it... been to Eulmore many times, never truely noticed its a waltz...)

Thank you! :D

I was also going to suggest the Eulmore waltz, and you could potentially use the night theme (or other variations on Tomorrow and Tomorrow) as well – instead, mixed together, or just elsewhere in the ceremony so you've got some continuity of using the same tune in different ways.

I've always wanted to dance to the Antitower theme :)

I think the reason for that is because the music of Eulmore is more of a Ballroom dance such as a masquerade wherein multiple couples are engaged in the dance. I believe you're thinking about things more in line with just the two of you, and I think that is why The Hand That Gives a Rose resonates with you much more, despite the chanting. Ravana's theme is one that expresses a 'dance', or "Tango" as Ravana would put it between two powerful entities, and the music is composed in a way that reflects this. It is a fitting theme, considering the combative nature of FFXIV.

If looking for something more in line with two souls in harmony rather than combat, I'm thinking something like Born of the Boughs, which would be a simple and very wholesome tune to dance to.

When I got married I used a bunch of FFXIV music :D I walked to the ARR Prelude and because we got married on Talk Like A Pirate Day, allll of the Limsa/La Noscea music - first dance was a proper Manderville (and the other three dances you can unlock in the city-states) based on Denmo's first dance video. This game has a lot of good music (and dances!) for weddings haha. Good taste, OP!

I definitely feel something like Flow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow, even the Titania music would be great. If you want instrumental, I agree with the Eulmore theme or Vamo'alla Flamenco for sure.

Congrats on your impending Eternal Bond!

'Close in the Distance' (guaranteed to bring tears to the eyes of all who hear it) :p

There isn't one. Plenty of amusing / happy dances suggested in the thread that would make your wedding unique, but a first dance? Game doesn't have a single track that parses as a love song.

your welcome

Sephirot 2nd Phase.

*The song "Eyes on me" doesn't play at all during the Eden raid*
That still steams my clams but if you are looking for a good FF slow dance then you can't really go wrong with that one.

There were so many missed opportunities in the Eden raid series that I'd need more than a few graphs, diagrams and charts to explain it all. That was, sadly, one of many.

We're not strictly looking for a love song! Just one that would be meanigful to both of us (basically the whole soundtrack qualifies for that) and that one can easly dance to.

Thats actually the song that we picked for our ingame eternal bond - he'd totally go for that again if we'd manage to find a suitable dance to go with it!

Yeah, that was a real disappointment (though I'm not sure I'd gone for that even if there was an FFXIV-version - FFVIII might be the FF I liked least).

Obviously there is only one correct answer for this.

Okay, okay, I'm kidding of course. Yikes, what a tough choice! If you don't really know how to dance, my personal gut instinct is to say pick something slow that you can just sort of casually sway around to and don't try anything fancy. I think the Crystarium Night Theme is one of the most breath-takingly gorgeous pieces in the whole game, although to get through a single round of that takes about four minutes and that is probably going to feel like an eternity for both you and everyone else. Maybe you can have somebody do an announcement partway through to call for the rest of the guests to join in dancing if they want, so you can finish the song. I think that could turn out really nice.

I would also suggest "Hearthward," the theme of the Firmament -- as that is just such a great, triumphant, feel-good piece of music -- but maybe only if you're both crafters and actually know this music. Otherwise it's just kind of random.

Hey, the basic character creation/selection music is also beautiful! It could work! Or if you're both fans of Final Fantasy in general, find a version from one of the other games in the series. FFIX has a particularly nice one.

You're totally right we need to go with Lahee! We'll leave it to the dance coach to figure out how we'll be able to dance to that, their problem now! (...and I'm not sure how much I'm joking right now...)

The Crystarium Night theme is extremly lovely! And I'm sure one could either shorten it a bit or follow one of your suggestions - you're totally right, no one wants to see us stumble for 4 minutes stairght (though maybe that would be extremly amusing for the guests after all...)

Revenge of the horde!!
Capture the epicness of that dance:)

Serious suggestion though" WHat about that song from the 15 crossover?
--Valse di Fantastica---
would be a lovely first song imo:)
