Music - Waking Sands after ARR

[One_Time]

What is the music that plays in the Waking Sands after you finish the Realm Reborn main scenario and cutscenes? After you watch the credits roll you end up in the Waking Sands with all the story npc's clapping and cheering and the music sounds like something out of FF Tactics. Anyways, I've played through the story several times and this is the first I've noticed it anywhere. It's awesome!

I'm.. not sure, as I can't remember exactly what music played at that part of the game! (I finished the 2.0 story back in 2013). I suspect it was a variation of the Prelude, but I have no way of knowing sadly.

If it is the Prelude, the version would be either Prelude ~ Discoveries (the version that also plays on the character creation/selection screen) which is track 3 on the FFXIV A Realm Reborn Official Soundtrack album , or a more simplified 'harp' version that is in the game but doesn't appear in any of the currently available soundtrack albums curiously.

I think that's Cid's theme. I'm sure it played during scenes before Garuda also.

Oh! You're right - I remember clearly now! The track in question is Dreams Aloft by Ryo Yamazaki, and it's track 80 on the Before Meteor OST album (it's not found on the ARR OST album however).

Thanks for clarifying that Leadleaf!

It's a fantastic track. Also plays on the airship ride before Garuda when Cid regains his memory.
