I'm dead serious when say this: "I have new found respect for this song" I listened to the song in 2010 and it felt like it didn't have much meaning to verison 1.0, However with the end of an era trailer, hear the word s flow in harmony with the event, it keeps giving me a reason to listen to the song over 30 times since the end of era trailer.

Now I'm in love with this song! Thank you Yoshi-P for giving this song meaning!

I was thinking the same thing yesterday while listening to it.

This song's been around for a while now, and yet it never held much significance to me - even in its original context.

"End of An Era" has really brought it into the forefront, moreso, I think, than it's ever been. I'll read comments on YT for the various uploads of the trailer, and, along with people (including people who know nothing about XIV) praising the movie, calling it the most epic thing they've seen in a long time, etc... there are a lot of people asking "What's the name of that song?". I don't think I remember that really ever happening outside the FFXIV community in the beginning.

I think what makes it work so well, also, is how beautifully the footage is timed to the song. Things are sync'd up so nicely, right down to seeing two of the "Hero Party" members teleport out in sync to the word "fleeting" (which is, itself, quite appropriate for that moment), right before the Warrior does. The build up of the song complements the movie beautifully as well.

That movie/song combo has really hit a nerve with a lot of people. SE's definitely gotten some very positive attention from it.
