"May those who wander paths in the dark find firelight," hit hard. I'm bawling at work. Hadn't heard that lyric before, since I'm usually trying not to die in the fight.
The heartfelt wish of those who call Thanalan home to make something the precious little they have into riches that they might find peace after life never fails to make me tear up 🥲
Lyrics that pay THIS much attention to such deep lore is something really special. It feels like a one-in-a-million sort of thing where the developers truly care about their own lore AND have enough money to put towards making music that shows it off.
The same guy who help create the 12 also created the "Thal's Balls" as a funny way for the in game way to curse, and it became a mechanic in the fight with the meteors.
fuckin beautiful. The edits to showcase what is being said on top of the on point glam for the dunesfolk. You did lalafells a good justice to their lore. Sharing this in discords.
If someone would have told me months ago, that I would shed tears for the little guys, I would have been rapid-firing on that x for doubt. Once more an in-depth analysis of already amazing musical numbers has successfully (and positively, unpredictably) moved me. Hundreds times thank you for this upload, Elio! -- and all the time, effort, adoration, and steadfast determination to keep going with these projects. It's incredible stuff! Give yourself a big pat on the back! This is another lyrical lore to be proud of. It has been a gift and delight to take in. ~Paya "Lost in BG3" Chauveau
Fantastic video! I loved the clip selection and editing backing up the lyrics. One tidbit on the lyrics that I always appreciated that wasn't highlighted, is the way that the pauses in the line "Life Death will follow" after "Life" and "Death" facilitate twin readings of it. 1. Life Death will follow -> Death follows Life 2. Life, Death, will follow -> Life follows Death It's a cycle in two parts, like Nald'Thal's rotating top half! :D
I did the thing with reading comments first and I was like “MAN WHY ARE PEOPLE CRYING TO THE LYRICS” and now here I am typing this with tears in my eyes because I already really loved this song and hearing the lore behind it just hits me hard in my little dunesfolk kokoro. 😢
I love this. These songs have such deeper meaning once you understand where the lyrics come from. Hope you continue to do more of the games songs, there's many I'd love to see the meaning behind!
This song was absolutely amazing to experience the first time and I was tanking the boss lol can't wait to hear the words behind Dedicated to Moonlight. and Can't wait to see what the ffxiv team cook up for the final raid boss.
The dunefolk lalafell truly have been through the ringer from the start, and to have such a story told through these lyrics is beautifully acknowledged. Well done and thank you!
Thank you so much for making these. I love your videos, but most especially these Lyrical Lore ones. Could you do Dedicated to Moonlight in the near future since it's in the same raid series as this one? You could also talk about some of the exposition that Menphina and the others had between the raids in Coerthas when we have to go to her shrine.
As a Dunesfolk Lala player since I started my journey, this touched a special place in my heart. I picked them because I've always liked the idea of the 'desert nomad' type of character, and I've always tried to glam my Dunesfolk in glams that somewhat reflect her desert-dwelling heritage. Thanks for helping shed light on these lyrics and what they mean to the Lalafells!
The god of the two things men cannot run away from.
Death and Taxes.

Love that transition at 5:45s sooo cool!
I have to believe that the use of the word "flow" with regards to the soul (aether) finding it's destination is not just a matter of meter and rhyme.
OMG why you did that i am crying like a baby AWESOME VID darling TY
That was a great watch, thank you~
These are my favorite videos, I love the analysis of the songs. gives me a new appreciation
This song was absolutely amazing to experience the first time and I was tanking the boss lol can't wait to hear the words behind Dedicated to Moonlight. and Can't wait to see what the ffxiv team cook up for the final raid boss.
The parallel between the lyrics and the cutscenes from the MSQ was amazing. :')

Thank you for the kind words! Already started on it, written and got some footage but it may be a few weeks while I work on other projects.
