So someone on Reddit has pointed out that Calyx's theme seems to borrow elements from the Pandaemonium lobby theme.

Please, I only have so much red thread for my conspiracy board!

The instrumentation of Calyx's theme is pulling from the same 'ominous villain theme' box that Pandaemonium was, this most likely isn't anything beyond 'this is what Bad Guys sound like'. It's basically a new song to match Without Shadow or Paradaisical Predicaments.

Yeah, the Ascians frequently dominated this kind of music in the past, but that's more out of their general storytelling monopoly than anything. In isolation I actually associate these instruments more with Ishgard.
