    Moonlight Faire's "Answers" version

    Nine times out of ten, crossing the Moonlight Faire Chaperones has let me hear normal, upbeat event music. Then, this tenth time, I hear a quiet choir singing a song that reminds me of The Binding Coil of Bahamut.
    Intrigued, I sit down before the alter of bomb floats. Turns out it's "Answers", the song played behind our dear intro movie. Yet it's calm, quiet, without the obtrusion of sound effects or the need to feel intense. This version so very well fits the idea of a calm, reflective background song that's just... so damn wonderful.
    I can't be the only person who would pay to have a loopable version of this quiet, well made choir version of Answers. Is it going to be a thing? Please?

    That's actually a variation of the version of Answers that actually played in the last few weeks of version 1.0 (it replaced all zone background in the game at that stage). It was affectionately nicknamed as Dalamud Answers by the community, but sadly no official version for purchase of it was ever released by SE. This new rendition of it though sadly only repeats the first verse ad nausum, where as the version that played in 1.23c was the full song, not to mention it was heavily distorted and obscured by stormy sound effects.

    As an other poster mentioned. It's a soft and calmer take on the song that played during the original versions final weeks.

    This version is the original full version. Distorted and full of foreboding doom but a really good listen non the same.

    I just wish they would make it spread out to all zones. Also it's not the moonfire faire. It's the Rising event BGM.

    I never knew of this song... And now that I hear it, I wish so much more that I could have played 1.0. I am forever envious. D:

    I believe that the new music playing is linked to the new event The Rising that just started which is a commemoration of the Calamity.

    Edit: ah, just saw that someone already pointed this out in an above post.

    Now picture a giant spiky red moon looming in the sky, with the knowledge that if that thing touches down the whole world will end as we know it and you'll get the full effect.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)

    I understand it not the version mentioned above, simply a video of the full lyrics of the song.
