    Question about the WoL theme's in the game. Is a certain SB track one?

    Okay so as most of us know there are various tracks that incorporate the WoL's theme into them, to show us who is/was a WoL besides us. We have the following, that I am aware of:

    The Maker's Ruin: the original WoL theme, our theme
    Footsteps in the Snow: Shiva's theme
    Oblivian: Ysayle's theme
    Heartless: Omega's WoL persona theme (since they are trying to mimic us)
    More Than Truth: Ardbert's theme
    Return to Oblivion: Hydaelyn-Ryne's theme (I doubt this is for Ryne as an individual and more for her in her crazed Hydaelyn state)

    But, I can't place, The Worm's Tail. I know it's a remix of various SB themes like Triumph and the Hymn, but is it meant to represent Zeno as a "false" WoL? The thing that's confusing me is the intro. All of the WoL theme's have a similar intro that picks up at around the 15-30 second mark, depending on the tempo. The Worm's Tail, seems to mimic this, but it could just be a coincidence.

    Are there any music buffs out there who are able to confirm or deny this? Also are there any other WoL theme's I might not have realized? I can't think of any other WoLs we might of encountered that would have a theme. Besides maybe Tenzin, but I don't think he had a theme.

    There's also "To The Edge", the theme from the Seat of Sacrifice, for the original Warrior of Light.

    I didn't include that one only because I wasn't sure if it would qualify. I know the boss is a literal WoL, but it seemed more like an Ascian theme, over a WoL theme. But it makes sense either way since I know the two themes intersect at times.

    To the Edge is a more intense, lyrical mix of the Tempest's theme Full Fathom Five. This song is also remixed for both Neath Dark Waters (the theme of phantom Amaurot) and Mortal Instants (the theme of the Amaurot dungeon). As far as I can tell it doesn't include a sample of More than Truth (which could be said to be the PC's real theme, with The Maker's Ruin being a battle mix).

    Not being a music buff all I can say is that I never heard part of the PC's theme in The Worm's Tail, just parts of Triumph.

    I actually think most if not all of FFXIV's songs are variations on the same theme.

    Possibly all FF music - certainly FFIII. The music for the CT raids is straight from there and it sounds like the same tune that occurs throughout XIV.

    Really the 'Warrior of Light's leitmotif is most reflected (ha!) in Torn From the Heavens of all things - yes, that basic battle theme used in a number of FATEs and minor story battles. It also shows up within Penitus, and even in the Heavensward opening movie BGM.. um.. Heavensward, but I really don't recall hearing it used anywhere within The Worm's Tail which is mostly just a remix of Stormblood/Triumph when you get right down to it (as you mentioned).

    Maybe my hearing needs checking, but like Cilia I really don't hear Torn From the Heavens cued in The Worm's Tail.

    Torn From the Heavens and Maker's Ruin are probably the top two contenders.
