“A Night in the Brume Seeking Answers”

This song is actually one of my favorites from FFXIV, so I simply couldn’t resist a chance to compose an arrangement of it! I wanted to retain the original classy, soothing tones of the opening piano piece, but also wanted to add the depth and power I felt when I saw Ishgard for the first time. I decided I would achieve this by adding a motif of another one of my favorite songs, the powerfully symbolic “Answers”, with an organ/choir combo to drive that deep, commanding presence that Ishgardian architecture exudes. I wanted the choir to represent the people of Ishgard, both the oppressed in the Brume and the highborn safe in their halls, as a people united seeking answers amidst the tyranny and lies. A people united, hearkening unto the dawn of a new era, a prelude of peace and the end of the Dragonsong War.

Soken and his team have really brought this realm to life with the music and it’s one of the biggest reason I love this game so much. If I had to pick three songs, I would choose Answers, Contention (Zenith’s theme), and the normal boss theme of the Coil raids (sorry, I don’t know the name).

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to work with a song I love, and I hope that we may look forward to doing this again!
