What's your favorite musical track in all of FFXIV? [Potential Spoilers]

[NegativeS]

From 1.0 to Endwalker, what's your favorite musical track? It can be something from a trailer, something from in-game, something from a trial or raid or dungeon, or just some random Orchestrion Roll you can get off of the Mog Station.

For me, it's a three-way tie between Garlemald Day, this Pandaemonium track, and 'Beauty's Wicked Wiles'

Garlemald Day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bTTy7qThuQ
This Pandaemonium Track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcPQGSkzrrg
Beauty's Wicked Wiles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUirpopmlOI

'Answers,' 'Gates of the Moon,' and whatever plays in Smileton are very, very close runner-ups.

Masayoshi Soken is based.

Crystal tower and World of Darkness are always great to listen to.

Also loved the Armament theme from Bozja.

Music to the zone of amh araeng.

A tie between the Shadowbringers theme, full or not and Ramuh's theme. Shadowbringers theme makes bring out all my invisible instruments: air guitar, finger drum, inaudible singing. Ramuh's theme puts me in an introspective trance.

I think my tried and true favorite has to be Born of the Boughs, which was the song played in Gridania during 1.0. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9jgZ-q3rgI

Also, and I'm a bit hazy on these details as it's been so long, but I believe it played during the install of the game..or maybe it was a loading screen to get in, but that's where I first fell in love with it. Was thrilled it was actually in game, and sealed my fate for belonging to Gridania. I still use the song in my house :X

There are other songs, but that's gotta be #1 for me.

Whatever that slow piano version of "Answers" in Endwalker is called: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fHKcoXfWmg

Still gotta say Answers

It was amazing the night version 1 went down and we heard that song alongside the "end of an era" trailer for the first time. Answers will always hold a special little place in my heart for that reason.

It was amazing the night version 1 went down and we heard that song alongside the "end of an era" trailer for the first time. Answers will always hold a special little place in my heart for that reason.

Bonus points for the 1.x version of the song people decided to call "Dalamud Answers" being the single most unsettling audio track this game has ever had or likely will ever have. The constant burning wind noise as Dalamud descended ever nearer, with a line from Answers heard now and then, echoing and discordant like the distorted whisper of a dying world carried on the winds of death... and then suddenly, out of nowhere, the line "helpless in our cries" being suddenly, horrifyingly, crystal clear before Hydaelyn's words faded back into the faint, echoing, off-key version.

The haunting "Answers (Reprise)" we get during the Rising is a pale, pale imitation of how just downright unsettling "Dalamud Answers" was.

That said, good lord, I have no idea what my favorite piece is; I feel like it would change from day to day and even then I'd have trouble narrowing it down to just one or two. I might be able to pick a few favorites from each expansion...

I still think Oblivion (the second phase of the original Shiva primal trial) is one of my favorites. Answers remains a favorite -- and I was pleased to see it used so much in this expansion, especially the wordless piano version -- as is Tomorrow and Tomorrow. I really, really like Footfalls (particularly some of the later verses as it rises into that victorious, hopeful portion... "Our song of hope, she dances on the wind... higher, oh, higher!"), and the particular instrumental "battle" version we saw in the job actions trailer (and which occurs in the Sage and Reaper questlines). Unchanging, Everchanging (the piano piece that places in Lakeland at night) is another personal favorite. A Long Fall from the Twinning, of course. And eScape from the Omega raids ("CHICKEN TENDERS... COME READY TO FRY!")...

There's just so many.
