Song Lyrics in FFXIV: Compilation, Discussion, and Interpretation

[Lauront]

Yep you are right. So as Apoptomon said it's the territorial Anthem for THAT specific territory. Makes you wonder how many anthems the Garlean Empire has.

Probably a lot. Interestingly, there doesn't appear to have been one for Doma. Probably because Yotsuyu had used it as her personal playground for exacting revenge, whereas the Empire still had some investment in Ala Mhigo, most likely from when Gaius reigned over it.

I don't really like the Ala Mhigan version of it, if I am honest. But then I am a Garlean fanboi.

[Remedi]

The anthem was probably fropm gaius time idd, maybe doma didn't had one since Zenos didn't care much for such things

[Balipu]

Or maybe there IS a Doman Theritorial Anthem we just didn't hear it. Like what's the anthem for Limsa or Ishgard? It probably has one but we just didn't hear it as it isn't important. On a slightly more related note I am super hyped for the music for Jade Stoa. We might get some lyrics with it.

[Remedi]

well we didn't hear a doman anthem either probably they didn't want to throw the spotlight off ala mhigo too much

I wouldn't have minded. Never cared much for Ala Mhigo.

Whether or not I take an issue with Ala Mhigo depends entirely on what we get in the future. I'll be very disappointed if we only ever get three zones out of Othard or a similarly large region after Gyr Abania ended up getting three zones in total.

My issue with Ala Mhigo is more about 90% of Ala Mhigans being angry hobos and trouble makers. I can count the decent Ala Mhigans on one hand. And that's counting the likes of Minfilia the useless load and Widalgert who tried to kill us once. The last time they had self governance they necessitated the formation of the Eorzean Alliance. Sure, mad king and all that jazz. But seriously. A bunch of angry jerks living in a barren wasteland. Hoooow interesting.

A whole continent filled with dragon people, ninjas, samurai, thousand year old shape shifting foxed, intrigue and legends totally idependant of what we have in Eorzea? Let's turn it into a sideplot we only deal with to help the angry jerks.

[Theodric]

That's a fair assessment. You're definitely not alone in that line of thinking!

[Annana]

Isn't Heavensward something of Ishgard's anthem? I mean, "Guide us O mighty Fury. Guide us to victory!" is pretty Ishgardian.

A good point. Short but epic.
