Loved the FFXI references

The Garlemald music was clearly an evolution of the Promyvion music and of course several of the mob types on the moon were from those zones .. I also was reminded of Sea as well there.

The Moon triggered my Promyvion PTSD.

Not to mention the whole

Dynamis

thing, even though it's a totally different concept from FFXI with the same name.

But the Die En Masse nickname still applies.

Mmm... No. A remix of Imperial Will does not sound like Faded Memories at all. Not an evolution from FFXI music.

As for the actual FFXI references, yes. Great stuff. I know what you mean by the orange bloom of energy on the moon being reminiscent of the dimensional rift light leading to Al'taieu.

The Empty on the moon being evolved fungi was rather strange, but a common trope from Lovecraftian horror, so I suppose I get another marriage of fictions that I didn't know I needed.

Dynamis felt like an in-joke about wiping a lot. Die-namis, heh.

Vrtra, in name. Though I also sorta saw the skeletal facial features as a nod to XI Vrtra's command over the undead.

The Omicron race having Archaic Gears, Detectors from Sky, and the lower bodies/frames of the Caturae was like a little cherry on top.

I wasn't saying the music was a 'remix', but the tonal structure of the underlying melody is entirely derived from that of the Promy zones, for me the whole 'feel' of the XIV music was immediately reminiscent of the Prommies . .though thankfully the gameplay was less stressful.

I didn't say that you said it was a remix. I said that the zone music in Garlemald is a remix of other Garlean based music. Its tonal structure is in no way derived from Faded Memories, but it's fine if it made you think of them. Art's like that sometimes.

I appreciated the teleporter with a similar animation to the Sky teleporter.
