    It almost goes without saying, but I'll say it anyways; the music in EW is AMAZING!!!

    I feel like saying "FFXIV has good music" at this point it almost like saying "fire is very hot", or "water is wet". But Endwalker has still managed to create some great, and wildly unexpected melodies that hit me in all new ways.

    Each expansion feels like it has such an identity, but I really didn't think anything would top Shadowbringers. Not only was the story EXACTLY the kind of story I've always wanted but never really been delivered, but the music was so perfectly executed. It didn't just compliment each zone, but also helped give each space a slightly "alien" feel, ensuring you FELT like this was a completely different world from your own. My personal favorite was Amh Araeng, that music was just something I was NOT expecting for a desert zone! But somehow, it worked!

    Without spoiling anything, I'll say the two stand-outs for me RIGHT NOW are the Baldesion Annex, and "the last zone". Seriously, it's almost becoming a PROBLEM, because every time I go there, I wind up getting side-tracked and just standing around while I listen to the music. Again, it manages to do something completely unexpected, while still fitting the zone beautifully.

    But man, also the mid-boss theme is just on ANOTHER FREAKING LEVEL!! Seriously, that thing is a banger if there ever was one. So much so, in fact, it's inspired me to pick up my electric guitar again!

    There's loads more praise I could give Endwalker (even if there are some bits I'm not as crazy on, or still processing), but just felt like chiming in with how much I am digging this game's music again!

    I honestly love all expansions musics.
    It is hard picking which expansion stand out for me although EW came quite close.

    I will probably reserve an actual judgement until I hear the other patches of EW. The post patches of each expansions had amazing soundtrack!

    It's solid, not as good as Shadowbringers in my opinion but still pretty good, definitely better than Stormblood. I wish there had been something like the Amh Araeng theme, that really hit me in Shadowbringers, it was so unique and atmospheric, it's just thanks to that one piece of music that the zone is my favorite in the expansion, even with the latter half of the zone story not being that interesting. But the Ultima Thule theme definitely had me in tears at the end of that zone, well in junction with the story of course.

    Is it? I felt it was a bit generic at times.

    Endwalker does have good music, but there is one major exception: The music that plays during your second visit to Labyrinthos, around level 88. That one song in particular is so obnoxious, I simply rushed through that part of the Main Story as fast as possible, rather than taking my time like I did with the rest of the campaign.

    Yeah...I was in tears during that last sequence heading to the stairs. It was 10 years of story hitting me like a ton of bricks all at once. I've never in my life had an online game affect me in that way.

    Radz is a 24/7 party and I am all for it after Eulmore and Rhalgar’s tried their best to put me to sleep
