Rising event music

[MilesSaintboroguh]

I sort of took the change of music to signify that people had started to move on. The Rising used to be a very mournful event to mark the anniversary of so much death and destruction and remember the sacrifices of those that saved the world. This year the event seemed less mournful and more hopeful. They were celebrating all the progress they had made since the Calamity and giving thanks to those that gave their lives to let them do so.

It's actually quite a believable change I think. Many real world holidays are happy and positive celebrations that used to be very sombre and mournful ones. As the event that originally marked that holiday on the calendars fades from modern memory the nature of the holiday to remember it changes too.

That was my impression as well. It's been, what, 3 years? People seem to be ready to move on. Hope goes hand in hand with the passing of a tragedy.

I'm glad I don't have to hear it again. I absolutely and deeply love the original version of this (which played on the whole overworld just before Dalamud crashed down),
but it's been weirdly sped up for The Rising and therefore feels like those songs you can find on youtube that want to avoid copyright claims and are just a bit sped up, not enough to REALLY notice, but it feels off anyway and destroys it all ._.

This year's Prelude fits very nicely with the decorations and mood they were going for this year.

I was also glad to not hear that version of Answers (I have Before the Fall as well, and always skip over that track when it comes up). Past two years I would only spend time in the even locations long enough to do the quests. Yeah, I'm not a 1.x player, so that meaning isn't mine (though, I bet if I did play then, I would still hate it now)

Yet, I'm the one who keeps throwing Answers up in the FC house (and I'll sit and listen to it there every so often). For some odd reason, it always seems to be changed the next day (often with Pa-paya...)

Speaking of music scroll, it'd be pretty funny if they sold the exclusive music scrolls like "Heavensward" and "moonflaire" in mogstation next year.

Personally i'm glad they used a classic sounding version of the FF Crystal theme. The original XIV version is a little too elaborate.

Yoshida: Thank you so much, all of you. For sticking with us and protecting Eorzea. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you all

Players: Wow!! WTF Yoshi!? You couldn't even make the event right? You didn't even put the right music in the event and now it's ruined! Ruined! I'm so disappointed. Events get worse every year...


Yoshida: Dips head down*.. goes back to Japan.


Seriously. Everything finds its way to hate DX

Answers on a puppet show? Would be tough to take that seriously, especially in the endings where you botch your parts.

Not during the show, just in the area. If the event was about something else (more dev stuff), then the Crystal theme would work perfectly. However, since this is a reenactment event, having Answers Reprise play in the area would work better.

Doesn't the play use From the Ashes? That's a different mix of Answers, but it's still Answes nonetheless, no? And you could argue it's more appropriate to use this version given the link between End of an Era and T12.
