Endwalker's login screen

[Loyd64]

Heavensward is still my favorite, nice somewhat soft piano, didn't blast the speakers and it sounded just amazing.

Stormblood.......I had to turn down my volume darn near every login because of HOW LOUD those drums were, like after that initial drum intro its not too bad but WHY did that have to be 90% of what I hear because I just want to login and get the title screen over with because of that.

Shadowbringers was an improvement in my opinion. The vocals are bass, and not ear piercing volume compared to the rest and I can keep my volume up as it doesn't....how do I put this. The drum from stormblood kind of broke any form silence, like the opposite of a white noise that blends in but shadowbringers doesn't do that, and its not as soft as heavensward, but I can tolerate it much easier then stormblood.

I wouldn't mind endwalker either being a soft but epic intro, or something that just isn't on stormbloods waking the dead levels of loud intro.

The writers themselves have stated that it's a matter of perspective, as seen here:



I think people should be cautious and separate reality from fiction. None of the characters are real, so people are absolutely free to like and root for whoever they so wish. After all, it's just a video-game.

I personally find both of the storylines touching. I can empathize for the Ascians - they lost everything for so long, and for them, the people of our stars are fleeting and insignificant. It’s not even a matter of feeling superior, but just because they live for so *long* that I imagine it would be difficult to care for those whos lives may seem like nothing more than the lives of ants. Tiny, interesting in their valiance, but otherwise one of many. They want their friends back, they want their LIVES back. Theyre tempered, with enough chain to be able to turn around and look at it, but not enough to leave.

And I can empathize with OUR plight to. *We* have friends, *we* have hopes too. *We’ve* lost people, and unlike the Ascians we *can’t* get them back. We want the *chance* to live our fleeting lives to the fullest, even if that means days of suffering and death and loss - because ultimately we’re sentient beings too, and we deserve to live out those pains, we deserve to live out our happiness and our sadness.

It’s hard to pick a side, for me, because theyre both fighting for what they believe in, and no matter which side wins, it’ll be a bitter and foul end.

Anyways uh... Im hoping for some soft piano version of the theme, this go round.

It will play Savage Garden's To The Moon & Back

[StormyFae]

I just hope it doesn't have a stupid space back ground with the moon, give it a dark end of the world background

[Averax]

Bet you 10 bucks it's gonna be a shot of the moon.

Or a shot of Hydaelyn from the moon

Do you think they'll give us a chance to choose and set our fave login page in future?

What I'll foresee for EW login would be a moon in the background with the acoustic guitar strums and signing that we have from the trailer. Having an acoustic sound as login music would be awesome and nice for a change.

[Garet]

Exactly what I was gonna say!

Admittedly, I actually wish they would let you select which theme you want. As I recall, if you click to watch the opening cinematic of a given expansion, it will show that expansion's log-in screen afterward; why not just make that kind of permanent? Even if it's just a temporary file on your system.

In any case... I'm kind of hoping we get a more dramatic interpretation of the classic "Prelude" melody. And I kind of hope it doesn't go TOO dark, but a bit more "cosmic".

Agree with this. I actually looked if there is an option to choose our default login screen when I saw it showed the login screen of the movie trailer we last chosen to watch. I would love to make Heavensward login screen my default. Love the art and the music

No loud drums like Stomblood’s, please.
