Song is titled "Where All Roads Lead" in the orchestrion list. For people wondering this song is a medley made of 5 of the zones from Shadowbringers. Timestamps for when each part plays: Kholusia: 0:00-0:27 Amh Aerang: 0:30-0:59 Il Mheg: 1:00-1:17 Lakeland: 1:18-1:43 Rak'Tika Greatwood: 1:44-2:00
Also an incredible detail when you watch the opening cutscene is the song perfectly cuts from Kholusia(Since you're coming from Eulmore) into Amh Aerang (When Thancred lands the ship) That's an extra layer of Soken and the cutscene team working hand in hand perfectly.
@@OutrageousFun noticed a lot of planning ahead, the trailer pre-launch cut-scenes as expected are hints to the summary of the plot. in fact.. is nice to listen to the songs before and after playing through it, like two-toned echoes tumbling through time.
Having all your friends and even some bosses from your journey help you along was so awesome. When the role quest npc show up and even talk to each other had me grinning like crazy. This reminded me of ghimlyt but it just felt so more personal here.
As far as I'm aware of, the only time you're considered canonically not-sneaking-adventurers-along even would be the Aetherochemical Research Facility and the trial after that. And the WoL wasn't locked in there alone with a Garlean Legatus, two ascians and a wannabe primal-king. They were locked alone with the Warrior of Light.
I absolutely love how BOOMING the Lakeland section of this song is. Just signifying the incredible importance of the Crystal Tower, the track is just amazing.
I love how everyone you met along the way helps you through each of their respective areas. Man I was so happy to see even the role quest npc help as well. Let out the loudest cheer when I saw Giott. Such an amazing dungeon
Man, I love that scene. - The foe starts practically unstoppable. - The hero is broken, on the brink of death. - All the hero's allies are down. - The land and sky are on fire. - A voice from the past reminds the hero that they aren't alone. - The turnaround begins when the music kicks in. - The hero drops a voice line you've been waiting *literally years* for. - One of the strongest mages in the multiverse opens up a bunch of portals. - The hero ends standing strong, surrounded by portals bringing in reinforcements. Anyway, enough about the 5.0 pre-trial cinematic.
I remember the day I found Mekkah Dee in Gold Saucer. I was like: Hey are you the Mekkah Dee who's uploading the FFXIV OST? He: Yes, i am. This is the first time someone recognized me. Me: lmao, keep up the good work. I think that's 3 years ago now Happy to see you still uploading stuff :)
"Everyone was there !" Supporting you. After Elidibus showed you all your path from ARR to Stormblood, in this dungeon, you got the support from your friendly NPCs on your path of Shadowbringers through the three main areas. If we look at that, it seems that everyone you meet before helped you travel the path to your destination. What a wonderful symbolism. What a wonderful story.
Wait for Elidibus showed you the path more exactly, i remember saying to you that he wanted to be his good pawn but not really helping you, especially that you killed Lahabrea.
Since no one seems to have stated this yet, this theme, "Where All Roads Lead", uses almost every Norvrandt zone's themes in its composition. 0:00 - Kholusia's theme, "Unmatching Pieces" - watch?v=22yHj8KpksQ?t=135 0:30 - Amh Araeng's theme, "Sands of Amber" - watch?v=r7K_BowsTtw?t=17 1:00 - Il Mheg's theme, "Fierce and Free" - watch?v=_h41T80eDVI?t=266 1:18 - Lakelands' theme, "The Source" - watch?v=Pxv8P2lMQgI?t=97 1:43 - The Rak'tika Greatwoods' theme; "Civilizations" - watch?v=ascfjJXDWjo?t=20 and goes into a loop. This helps a lot when it comes to feeling like you're being assisted by Norvrandt itself. Moreover, the only theme not used here (The Tempest's) is referenced to directly in "To the Edge", The Seat of Sacrifice's theme - which happens to be the Trial immediately after this dungeon. All "watch?v=links" are Mekkah Dee's uploads of said themes, timestamped to specific moments.
This piece has most of, if not all of Shadowbringers zone leitmotifs, from 1:43 onwards Rak'tika is very prevalent then comes Nabaath Areng. It's pretty epic since the dungeon's concept itself is a run through the entire expansion.
Fun fact: The very first group of mobs you fight in this dungeon are based on the very first & classical party for Final Fantasy as a whole with the Spectral Monk and Spectral Paladin taking the place of the Thief and Warrior respectively.
The first section of the dungeon was awesome, but it was when you reached Il Mheg that I REALLY got chills as I realized EVERYONE in Norvrandt was fighting!!! Even more than the making of the Giant Talos, THIS was the moment Norvrandt stood up and said: GET THE HELL OFF OUR LAWN!!!!!
On top of everything good with this dungeon, I love how this theme is a mash-up of parts from every leveling dungeon theme in Shadowbringers. Starts off with parts from Mt. Gulg, then Malikah's Well, then (assumingly) Dohm Mheg, continuing with Holminister Switch and ending with Qitana Ravel before looping.
Just cleaned out this dungeon and the subsequent trial today. This part of the story is MAGICAL- I loved seeing all the friends I'd made across Norvrandt back me up in what felt like an entire godsdamned war over one person's existence- MINE- and I especially loved seeing Giott and the other role quest friends in the last lakeland bit. Then my party treated me like shit in Seat of Sacrifice. "Get hit less next time" yeah fuck you too buddy.
We're really not. God, forced Hildebrand was the worst part of HW and SB, and I'm glad we're getting relevant sidequest chains instead of just *lol more hildi XD*
The one that got me in this patch was the fact that after this dungeon when you're in Lakeland after the dungeon, you're taking the same path back to the Crystal Tower as when you arrived in the First. And, as you do, the music which plays and the pan-up to the tower are the same spooky version of Tomorrow and Tomorrow which plays when the Shadowbringers title card drops panning over the tower at the start of SHB. "Go on now, they'll take good care of you in the Crystarium, friend."
I assume it’s because you can’t have here showing up in the dungeon because it would be a spoiler for people that didn’t complete all the Shadowbringer Role Quests, it’s probably the same reason Giott is wearing their helmet in the Dungeon.
You know that all those spectral heroes are actually the shades of all player communities of FF14 and since they are incomplete would that makes us the current Warrior of Darkness an instance boss?
Unpopular opinion but...This should have been the final dungeon for this expansion because how it gives the whole "Look how far you came,how much you've achived and how many friends you made" feeling and how it just wraps up everything perfectly. and Paglathan being the starter dungeon for Endwalker would be so much better because it really feels like Holminster Switch.
@Southern Shinobi Ah yes, the ability to peer into the future of the lives of people you will literally never meet. A very rare manifestation of the Echo. Truly, you must be the chonkiest Warrior of Light this side of Balmumg. :D
Also the child at the beginning of the patch wanting to be an apothecary and Alisaie referring to someone who throws potions I'm battle as an off hand comment. Chemist class perhaps as a new healer
I think our current iteration of Warrior is way too close to Berserker for it to ever become a thing, but NEC and APO could be the next two classes (4th non-limited caster and 4th Healer)
They also teased Geomancer last expansion as a class. Interesting enough, Chemist, Geomancer, Berserker and Necromancer were playable jobs in FF5, so it's not like it's out of the picture. Oh and the fighting style of Elidibus enchanting his sword with fire and ice reminded me of FF5's mystic knight class
All I want to know is how they flew from Kholusia, right past the Crystarium, and into Ahm Araeng. Like; I can accept them crash landing in Rak Tika (since topographically it's adjacent to the Crystarium), taking the Fae Portal to Il Mheg and into Lakeland.... but just why go to Ahm Araeng in this instance.
@@Narnio01 that being said; when you look at the map of norvrandt, they would've had to have been flying east-southeast to even come anywhere close to Amh Araeng. To the northeast of Kholusia is Il Mheg directly and if they were flying more east than north; they wouldve hit Lakeland, the crystarium, then Rak Tika. I just dont understand how they could hit Amh Araeng at all when looking at the world map. Makes no sense.
Just took another look at norvrandt's world map: il mhed is due north-northeast from Eulmore. Flying directly northeast from Eulmore; they would've flown through Lakeland, past the crystarium, and into Rak Tika which appears to be directly northeast of the crystarium. Ahm Araeng is apparently directly east from Eulmore; so I guess I can see them planning to disembark at Ahm Araeng, but I feel like they would've tried to fly directly to the Crystarium, which they wouldve passed up Ahm Araeng altogether according to the world map.
@@ChrisLancaster1000 Maybe Thancred planned the route accounting for the possibility that they may be attacked while aboard the airship, aiming to maximize time spent over land instead of over water. Crash-landing in Amh Araeng is better than landing in the ocean when at least one of your party members can't swim at all.
Imagine if in a future expansion, we would somehow find a way to visit other shards that weren't Rejoined yet. That or find a way to restore the Thirteenth shard.
@@dinoblacklane1640 Yeah I completed all of those and got the epilogue. It cuts off to hints of finding a way to reverse the damage done to the 13th shard a.k.a. World of Darkness a.k.a. Void.
My favorite ally in this dungeon is the dwarf who shows up when you face the invincible paladin before the final boss. "Unbreakable shield? Did you test it against dwarven bombs though?"
I believe that’s the Kholusia day theme. All parts of the hero gauntlet theme are renditions of the Shadowbringers areas. I personally find them hard to distinguish though, so it may be a different Shadowbringers area.
@@the.duck.is.ronin. after the second boss where all the npc are fighting he spawn on the right, i think the requierement to make him spawn is that all 4 player must have completed all his quest but it's only my guess
Funny. I was criticized for not going head over heels for ShB's soundtrack and the quickest "counter-argument" most people could come up with was "do you just want orchestral themes everywhere?", and then this theme has such a huge orchestral segment :p
SHADowbringers main theme is fine. Some of the music was just “okay” honestly. This song and the last trial of the story’s theme makes it worth it though.
I mean, they are right. Music being orchestral doesn't necessarily mean it's gonna be good and there are a lot of varities to music. This song being good doesn't undermine shadowbringers soundtrack. It just means you have different tastes.
How would they be "right" when I never said I wanted or even preferred full orchestral soundtracks? That's just a knee-jerk reactionary assumption because I dared to not immediately fall in love with the entire Shadowbringers soundtrack. And I also never said I didn't like it either. It's mostly fine, but I can count the songs I really, really loved on one hand. A rather large portion of this game's fanbase is unhealthily attached to... pretty much everything in this game. Lotta people will think you're a hater if you talk about the smallest thing that you don't like.
@@MBOmnis I think you mean just the very vocal people, while FFXIV is great, personally the best JRPG mmo with SMT Imagine coming second, we are at least more than willing to admit that it has it's issues and will voice them
I dont know who is the guy behind these ShB dungs but he needs a raise. This is so epic aaaaaa from Holmister Switch till this one I was never so satisfied. Thank you Square, havent felt so many emotions in long time.

Song is titled "Where All Roads Lead" in the orchestrion list.
For people wondering this song is a medley made of 5 of the zones from Shadowbringers. Timestamps for when each part plays:
Kholusia: 0:00-0:27
Amh Aerang: 0:30-0:59
Il Mheg: 1:00-1:17
Lakeland: 1:18-1:43
Rak'Tika Greatwood: 1:44-2:00
Also an incredible detail when you watch the opening cutscene is the song perfectly cuts from Kholusia(Since you're coming from Eulmore) into Amh Aerang (When Thancred lands the ship)
That's an extra layer of Soken and the cutscene team working hand in hand perfectly.
I knew it!!!! Never seen in a videgame a thing like this, this is beautiful, the best ever
@@OutrageousFun noticed a lot of planning ahead, the trailer pre-launch cut-scenes as expected are hints to the summary of the plot. in fact.. is nice to listen to the songs before and after playing through it, like two-toned echoes tumbling through time.
This is so fucking beautiful thank you
I'm still having difficulty recognizing Kholusia and Amh Araeng. I felt Lakeland and Rak'Tika were the obvious ones.
The Ghimlyt Light.
Oh dear god
Ha it does have a different feel though.
Still I hope there will be a msq dungeon where you get to fight alongside your class mentors in the Source.
In 7.0 probably
Hahaha it feels like it
@@blackjet2000 fighting with Curious Gorge would be a dream come true for sure
Having all your friends and even some bosses from your journey help you along was so awesome. When the role quest npc show up and even talk to each other had me grinning like crazy. This reminded me of ghimlyt but it just felt so more personal here.
IKR! IT WAS SO GOOD !
so i first did this with the trusts, and when i noticed all the role npcs come out, im like "hey theres the sinners"
I’m now less salty at Titania since she sent two of those 3 ads to assist.
And this is why I went with trusts the first time
Mario Vasquez not to mention every other fae in il mheg
You fight a whole lot of things in this game.
But you know one thing you NEVER have to fight?
...
Alone.
solo only: and i took that personally
reading this and then 1:17 starting hit different
As far as I'm aware of, the only time you're considered canonically not-sneaking-adventurers-along even would be the Aetherochemical Research Facility and the trial after that.
And the WoL wasn't locked in there alone with a Garlean Legatus, two ascians and a wannabe primal-king.
They were locked alone with the Warrior of Light.
The real shadowbringers were the friends we made along the way

And the section preceeding it, being the lightest part, is of course Il Mheg's.
I love how everyone you met along the way helps you through each of their respective areas.
Man I was so happy to see even the role quest npc help as well. Let out the loudest cheer when I saw Giott.
Such an amazing dungeon
Giott is the best 😂
In the words of Giott: "Piss off, ghost!"
XD
Giott is #1 Waifu material
Giott casually using monk lb3
“Warrior of Darkness can you hear me? On your left...”
Man, I love that scene.
- The foe starts practically unstoppable.
- The hero is broken, on the brink of death.
- All the hero's allies are down.
- The land and sky are on fire.
- A voice from the past reminds the hero that they aren't alone.
- The turnaround begins when the music kicks in.
- The hero drops a voice line you've been waiting *literally years* for.
- One of the strongest mages in the multiverse opens up a bunch of portals.
- The hero ends standing strong, surrounded by portals bringing in reinforcements.

What a wonderful story.
and for the finale, we got help from freakin' emet-selch himself
And the music of the dungeon is all the ost of the areas of shadowbringers (lakeland, kholusia, raktica, il mheg, ...). Amazing!!!!!
"We look to those who walked before, so that we might guide those who walk after."
"No matter how far your journey may take you, you stand where you stand by virtue of the road you walked to get there."
Wait for Elidibus showed you the path more exactly, i remember saying to you that he wanted to be his good pawn but not really helping you, especially that you killed Lahabrea.

Underrated comment
…with Lakeland pretty much becoming a James Bond-style refrain. Great breakdown.
This dungeon does an amazing job oh showing how in your characters time of need the people of the land became your hero’s just as you was there’s
Having everyone there to support you and all is cool but MAN AENC THON TURNING SPECTRAL HEROES INTO FROGS

Ala Mhigo, Ghmlyt Dark, and now this. Love these dungeons where the other characters get to actually feel useful lol
The true power of WoL. Right here. In a dungeon.
I love how it's just a mashup of all the ShB dungeons themes, just like the dungeon is a mashup of the first 3
I was trying to guess which themes it would use leading up to the patch and I’m happy to say that Soken responded with “yes”
Actually, Rak'tika is missing from the dungeon but is in the theme. Since the locations in the dungeon are Ahm Araeng, Il Mheg and Lakeland.
@@Alcadria because everyone agrees Malikah's theme is pretty shyt
Ixza Civilization is there to represent Rhatika or w/e it’s spelled
Ixza mind you it’s the mid rift between the original and the source

To break it down even further, it’s effectively all themes of Norvrandt’s zones except The Tempest, as these dungeons remix their own areas’ pieces
Nothing like queuing an expert and hearing that opening slide

I like the ost of course, but im also captivated by Mekkah Dee's AST, feels like your were playing it for decades, awesome to see!
Also I missed it, but somewhere in this dungeon is Hildibrand. Where the hell was he? We're owed some Gentlemanly adventures, damn it!
We’ll probably get Hildibrand in later patches, now we’re back in The Source

Ahhhh, all the allies you made along the way helping you along in the end....
It's Ghimlyt Dark all over again

Fighting the THF job hurt me more than any cutscene in the game.
I still have hope.
The entirety of norvrandt was in on this it was beautiful
Soken did it yet again. Chills all over.
Using the first ShB dungeon theme for the final dungeon on the first is just incredible

My mouseover AST cards just got old, this is the future now
I was sad that Cylva didn't show up during the part with the Role Quest NPCs.
She can barely lift up her own armor, methinks too many years as a barwench has taken its toll on her physical strength.

Cyllva and Luneth comes back one final time after all the quests , the final part of their story
I wouldn't have minded if they made 4 bosses for this dungeon, we didn't get to pass through raktika ;-;
The Great Serpent probably dealt with everything, banishing the summoned warriors with an almighty scree!
You know that all those spectral heroes are actually the shades of all player communities of FF14 and since they are incomplete would that makes us the current Warrior of Darkness an instance boss?
The caster role NPC put his aoe marker on my Ley Lines. I lost 1000% of my chill at him. >:|

@@sheena2224 interesting but it's been done in Elder Scrolls Online. Not sure it would fit the whole FFXIV world as a playable class. Bosses sure.

can someone help me I heard the part around 0:16 - 0:20 somewhere before but I can't quite put the finger on it
I believe that’s the Kholusia day theme. All parts of the hero gauntlet theme are renditions of the Shadowbringers areas. I personally find them hard to distinguish though, so it may be a different Shadowbringers area.
Sounds very similar to Mines of Narshe from ffvi
@@rh7902 Thank you so much I finally got it
Swear that but sounds straight out of a Pokemon game I played years ago lmao
@@Symphiney The Kholusia theme is from 0:00 to 0:16, the one he mentioned is the Il Mheg theme
a fitting dungeon for the end of a story
Final Fantasy XI players have their own dungeon now in XIV
I didn't see my PUP
thinking about how the first group of enemies you fight here (at 0:46) is an ff1 party
actually, now that i think about... the fourth group of enemies consists of a paladin, a dragoon, a bard, and a monk... hmmm 🤔
@@TypeSaturn Wouldn't that be part of the FF4 main party?
God I really need to pick this game up again. I beat shadowbringers than just kind of fell off it. But I feel that pull again
This whole dungeon was just a glorified PvP match :^)
The boys from another server coming in.
@@MekkahDee And their healers know how to DPS
Then it was the best pvp match i ever played
I like how this is a big mishmash of every dungeon before it. Not just the music, but the environment and enemies too!
This bgm sounds like an area on castlevania and i like it,, :)
no one gonna talk about hildibrand apparition in this dungeon ?
Where is that? I must have missed it.
@@the.duck.is.ronin. after the second boss where all the npc are fighting he spawn on the right, i think the requierement to make him spawn is that all 4 player must have completed all his quest but it's only my guess
@@kiwiofnazarick6455 I haven't done the quest, maybe that's why I haven't seen it
"So what if we made another Ghimlyt Dark...."
Yoshi: yes?
"but...made it GOOD"
Yoshi: ...
Yoshi: Please look forward to it.
But...but Ghimlyt Dark was great.
Hans Goober777 indeed it was
@Mekkah Dee I really love your UI setup! Are the play buttons on the side of the party list macro'ed?
GET TO THE TOWA
God, I want to know how to do these cards macros so bad
Is anyone getting chrono trigger vibes from this too?
it's a medley of all the shb area themes.... :(
Do I hear Sohr Khai in this theme?
LA HEE.
Funny. I was criticized for not going head over heels for ShB's soundtrack and the quickest "counter-argument" most people could come up with was "do you just want orchestral themes everywhere?", and then this theme has such a huge orchestral segment :p
SHADowbringers main theme is fine. Some of the music was just “okay” honestly. This song and the last trial of the story’s theme makes it worth it though.
I mean, they are right. Music being orchestral doesn't necessarily mean it's gonna be good and there are a lot of varities to music. This song being good doesn't undermine shadowbringers soundtrack. It just means you have different tastes.
How would they be "right" when I never said I wanted or even preferred full orchestral soundtracks? That's just a knee-jerk reactionary assumption because I dared to not immediately fall in love with the entire Shadowbringers soundtrack. And I also never said I didn't like it either. It's mostly fine, but I can count the songs I really, really loved on one hand.
A rather large portion of this game's fanbase is unhealthily attached to... pretty much everything in this game. Lotta people will think you're a hater if you talk about the smallest thing that you don't like.
@@MBOmnis I think you mean just the very vocal people, while FFXIV is great, personally the best JRPG mmo with SMT Imagine coming second, we are at least more than willing to admit that it has it's issues and will voice them
@@MBOmnis Exactly.
I dont know who is the guy behind these ShB dungs but he needs a raise.
This is so epic aaaaaa from Holmister Switch till this one I was never so satisfied. Thank you Square, havent felt so many emotions in long time.
The music director is Masayoshi Soken, and actually he has a band called the Primals XD
@@deficit06 I meant, who had the idea to make the whole "scenario". Soken just typically outdid himself and gave us a hit lol
@@ArchangeZ Ah, i read song instead of dung XD. My bad.
And I dont know, but its freaking amazing.
@@ArchangeZ If you're talking about the writer for the main scenario quests, that would be Ms. Natsuko Ishikawa. 😊
