      It's really whiny, idk why they thought that'd be necessary. It might be the whiniest lead vocals in existence, odd choice. And oddly mixed. The choir sounds like they're a room over meanwhile the lead has the mic down her throat. Maybe the theme is stepping out of your comfort zone

    Can people not cap. The song is mixed badly and the vocal performance is not the best take they could've recorded, the woman is fighting for her life on some of these notes.

      This is really rough, its tough to make out what some of the words are in the chorus parts but I tried my best lol
      At the crossroad, standing here
      Not a star in the sky to guide me tonight
      If we're lost in loss and fear
      Deep in darkness round my cries
      All this pain inside of me
      Don't know where it starts or when it'll end
      Try to tame the agony, as I close my eyes and scream to the wind.
      Look around and find I'm standing all alone (Look again, we're standing there)
      Cause the storm is taking everything I know (Deep in loss, you needn't bend)
      Don't know why I thought I'd make it by myself (After all that we've been through)
      Out of time, I'm running, clad inside my health[?] (We were always there for you)
      There's so much in life I couldn't understand (Understand we're by your side)
      Standing tall, we'll face tomorrow hand in hand (Mine in yours, and yours in mine)
      We remember, through the war, through everything (This our tale, our tapestry)
      Never losing sight of everyone I met (No matter what, we're gonna be[?])
      In lightning's wake, did naught but ash remain
      Stay with the rain, the sun will ring again
      Our wish and father[?] still beyond the grace
      It carries on, we will carry on.
      So fly along the rainbow sea (We remember who we'll be)
      Alive with everything it reaches (Love and peace and harmony)
      We walk a never ending trail (May your heart find happiness)
      Our love, our wish will never pale (This is your inheritance)
      Just imagine what's around the bend? (Magic, or mischief? Gods forfend)
      Endless marvels, myst'ries, newfound friends
      (Wilder than wildest dreams portend.)
      Tight, seize the day and hold on tight. The sun is rising.
      Life, take it slow and take a bite...
      So high, on the dawn, we set our sights. A new horizon.
      Fly, ever forward stary eyed... ohhh, yeah...

      There are flaws to the Dawntrail story (namely the pacing, good god it took forever for things to finally start moving with some gusto) but the core of the story was really good, and I liked the exploration of passing the torch. I think it's fitting that the WoL is now the mentor figure, the "Big Good" pushing the next generation's heroes to achieve their dreams. We're out for adventure, but we had our "walk before": the threats of this post-Ascian age are for "those who come after" to deal with, in their way, on their terms. I think Wuk Lamat embodies this well. I enjoyed 7.0 MSQ and I'm looking forward to what the patches bring.

    I dont remember where I heard this, I think it was during one of the fanfests or something, but I remember hearing about Sokken being very nervous about some of the songs this expansion. Yoshi-P told him to make songs that were happy and upbeat, and Sokken really stepped out of his comfort zone here. I remember hearing that hes not one for making happy, upbeat songs like this.
    If this is true, I give him props for stepping out of his comfort zone and actually trying. I know he really tries to make songs and music that everybody would enjoy. And this was said by him in an interview with somebody. Or expressed by him. He truly tries hard, and it makes him very nervous that people will hate his music.
    However, perhaps making music like this is good for him because he gets feedback and can do things differently next time he's expected to make more music like this. I just wish people werent so hateful about it. Some of the critisicm is downright rude and isnt helpful at all. Just a bunch of insults.

    The main vocals are a little weird but besides that I don't get the hate for the song at all. Everyone just says "its a Disney movie song" but I don't get why that's bad. I think FF players just expect every main expac vocal theme to be a sad aria like Flow or Dragonsong.

    i think my only real issue with this song is the mixing to be honest, it just feels really weirdly empty whenever it's not the full choral parts, in a way that i don't think was intentional and the chorus responses end up sounding more pitch-corrected than like it's just a lot of people singing

    • @berrymage.
      @berrymage. 4 місяці тому

      I agree completely. the soloist is too loud/intense over the instrumentals. and in addition to what you mentioned, during the call/response part, the chorus singers aren't entirely in time with the piano? which just makes things feel off. I think with some better mixing and maybe a few retakes, people would like this song a lot more. it has the potential imo.

    I actually kinda am happy this was the ending theme, for one because it was so different to that of all the other expansions that were all very much in similiar style, so having this for the start of a new journey is fine, EXSPECIALLY at least for me because this expansion was not about the WoL really, like we were never before quite as much in a background support role as we were here for Wuk Lamat, so for me this was truely her Expansion and for her that theme kinda fits, with her ideology of happiness and also her more positive outlook on life and death
    Explanation for the Wuk Lamat thing:
    Normally even if expansion like stormblood with lyse had front and center characters it was always the WoL who had to defeat the big enemies, so it was alone the WoL and people supporting the WoL in some way that drove the main story
    In comparrison in dawntrail is that we never truely did anything meaningful without Wuk Lamat being front and center, like all the feats were her ideas and understanding the people or us supporting her, the fights she always was there even in the none trust trial and lastly we were quite often litterally told to stand aside and let her do what only she as the leader should do, which for me is fine simply because power scaling wise the wol is a monster for the writers i guess exspecially if you want to start the next arc in a way where you do not want to have our enemy and the stakes be something that power wise is stronger than despair personafied, sonce staring slower lets you build up a story once again
    BUT i also understand if people are kinda dissapointed with the player taking such a beackseat in comparrison to pretty much all the other expansions and did not enjoy being forced to be the support this time since it is a self insert MMO which normally does put the players in the main active roles

      Like the "Circle of Life"?

    Sadly, although I respect everyone’s opinion on this, I can’t get behind it. The chorus is jarring, the pace sounds like they tried to make it like Moana’s ‘How Far I Go’ without sounding like it. It’s a P to the U for me.

    I can completely get being surprised by the track, because it is very different to what we've had in the past, but for me it wasn't in a bad way, and I have found myself liking it more and more as i go 😊
    I also loved the train montage 😆
