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.

That multi-stage theme you are referring to is used for Coerthas guildleves.

I friggin LOVED this song from the Alpha soundtrack. I couldn't believe it took them so long to include it in the game.

I hope they find a place for all of Uematsu's music in 2.0. This game's soundtrack is incredibly underrated.

Not to take anything away from the new music that's been written since then (I never found out for sure whose been writing it...is it Mizuta?)

Yes it's Mizuta.

EDIT: Double Post

I hope they use this when Dalamud hits Eorzea. I think it would be pretty epic watching towns get blasted away by a meteor while a girl sings softly in the back.

MAKE IT HAPPEN SE!

I was curious as well, so I watched for that moment in the updated credits. Looks like the composition/music staff since launch consists of Naoshi Mizuta, Ryo Yamazaki, and Tsuyoshi Sekito. At least those are the names listed in the new credits.

Hopefully 'Answers' will be removed from the game and replaced with something not so cringe-worthy.

Walk free, OP. :rolleyes:

LOL, love you lensbian <3

I like "Answers". In fact, every time I hear the section that starts with "Walk free" I get chills.
I think it would be a good end of 1.0 song to play, too.

I myself, find parts of the song kind of corny sometimes <_< I'd be happy with a new song. One by Hansi Kürsch of Blind Guardian in a duo with James Labrie of Dream Theater.... (but that's just me!)

Yeah, we need something like Distant Worlds!

Sheez eenvait een a eveneen sahn....♫


PS: Distant Worlds is my favorite FF vocal theme. Just don't complain about the lyrics in Answers, please!

I liked the song.... until 3 minutes and 31 seconds the guitar rifts begin and that's when I muted it.

So Dalamud finally hits, and this music plays as everything is in flames and turning to shit, fades out to "see you in 2.0".

I think this music would fit that scene, Do'ett Yoshi-p.

I saw Susan Calloway at "Distant Worlds" in NYC last year. She performed both Memoro de la S^tono/Distant Worlds and Answers. I remember being very annoyed with her rendition of Distant Worlds and slightly annoyed by Answers (even though that is 'her' song). I also didn't think her voice was very good. ALTHOUGH... some vocalists are great on stage and some are not. A live performance is always as good as the vocalist can sing on command. (Basically, this is my way of saying I didn't like her voice, but I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt if she is meant to be a recording artist and not a performer.) I like the song, though.

I see it being played during the cutscene where Dalamud drops to the ground. At the very end (after the climax of the song), we'll see new life growing, people rebuilding their cities, etc. It will be a nice 'hopeful' end before they shut the servers down for the time it takes them to start up 2.0. It is, after all, the conclusion of one 'storyline'. I know we don't think of it that way because it isn't an expansion, but we ARE getting to see something that no one post-2.0 is ever going to experience.

I remember listening to Answers a lot when FFXIV first came out. I thought it was a great track and the lyrics really captured whats great about a MMO. Working together and those who have accomplished feats helping others.

I think it is a good anthem for FFXIV and hope it stays.

Also I think memoro de la stono is a brilliant track. I haven't played FFXI for a while, but this song captures everything I loved about it. When I hear it still get goosebumps. I think Answers will someday have the same effect.

And these tracks a good because they were written for the games, not like some Leona Lewis track grabbed from some album.

maybe they should have had Adam Lambert sing it.

Not that i care for adam . . . not my style of music. But maybe this would have been a better song for ffxiv's release and opening scene. haahaahaahaaaaaaaaaa.

I'd actually like to hear Izzy Cooper sing for a FF title...

I hope they make a new song for 2.0 but with pieces from "Answers" here and there to tug at our heart's strings.

ORIGA would be an excellent choice.

And commission deadmau5 to do a remix of it after its done. Why not?

Yes I want to see more of this song being used in 2.0 then it is being used now. PLEASE! I love this song and I still play it everyday on my trips back and forth to work.

http://youtu.be/iifJz18AS6U - Sup guys, greatest XIV song reporting in.

If some audiophile could either extend this or tone the pitches and 1 of the themes to lessen the ear-rape, it would be super.


Also Answers is either going to be a closing cutscene BGM like memoria was.
Doubt even SE knows what to do with it.

It featured also in the pre-release trailer of XIV for those who didn't know.

This song was used in the opening Sequence o.o well a small snipet of it was, at least during Lomisa's opening I can say, so the song has been used in the game.

*/signs petition to keep the song Answer in the game.*

To me, this song embodies what the Echo is. And the echo is of greater concern to the main scenario resuming in version 2.0. Thus, I am hopeful.
