siren

[Yamimarik]

Honestly no offense OP, but I'm just not really understanding where you're coming from with this. "Through the Gloom" is such a beautiful song! Especially the Extended version <3 (I was soooo happy they released that for us to hear, and put inside the dungeon!) I personally feel it does fit Siren and the dungeons theme quite well.

It's as if a lost maiden is beckoning the adventurers with her call to climb the light house to save her (but really to their doom!) The haunting melodies in the song, remind me of Siren playing her harp, and the higher pitched vocals we hear remind more of Siren, not "choir boys."

As for Siren's look, I don't get why you are trying to think of mermaids. Sirens throughout mythology have been depicted more bird-like than fish-like or "mermaid"-like. So imagining Sirens as "mermaids" really doesn't quite bring up any images I would personally associate as a Siren.

I personally LOVE Siren's look compared to her FFVIII look, but not much pleased me in VIII, so I'll leave that at that...

Anywho, I enjoy the song very much! It's absolutely one of my favorite from ARR's soundtrack. I personally think it fits Siren and the dungeon to a T.
