Welcome back to Digital Mystery Tour. With the recent release of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, it seemed like a perfect time to look back at some of my favorite songs from the previous online Fantasy: XI. I'm a little under the weather, so I let the music do the talking for me, and close things out with a couple tracks from A Realm Reborn. If you have fond memories of FF XI, you may want to check out the Nerds Without Special I did earlier in the year, which features a ton more of the game's soundtrack, as well as some fun and touching stories. Enjoy, and I realize the bagpipes in the San d'Oria theme can be a tad grating on the ears, but what can I say? It's home to me.
THIS WEEK'S MUSIC:
00:00: Memoro de la Stono
05:07: The Kingdom of San d'Oria
09:43: The Sanctuary of Zi'tah
13:57: Selbina
16:14: Distant Worlds
22:47: Gridania
26:36: Battle Theme (FF XIV: A Realm Reborn)
I've never played FFXI but I do like its soundtrack, so I'm glad to see it getting some love. I'm only familiar with the soundtrack of the game's original release, though, so I hadn't heard "The Sanctuary of Zi'tah" before. I like it. Guess I need to listen to the soundtracks of the expansions.
