    That's not the 'theme song' though but just the trailer theme, I'm talking about the vocal song that SE releases as the actual 'main theme' for the game/expansion (namely, Answers, Dragonsong and Revolutions for FFXIV 1.0/ARR, HW and SB respectively). With the previous expansions SE released the upcoming theme song a month or two before the expansion's launch with a trailer video sneek peeking various story cutscenes from the upcoming expansion main scenario, and they were always identified with the subtitle 'Main theme of <insert expansion title here>'.

    The fact Shadowbringers does not is unusual, although as I mentioned not surprising given Uematsu (who composed the earlier main theme songs) is retired on medical grounds for the forseeable future, although Soken would definetely be a competent replacement he's probably too busy with the expansion's sound direction in addition to music production to also have to compose, direct and oversee the performance and recording of a complex orchestrated vocal song as well.

    Either way it's unfortunate SBS has no dedicated vocal main theme song, but as a fan of FF music I have to say that Uematsu's health is far more important.
