"To The Edge" with Official Lyrics (Seat of Sacrifice Theme) | Final Fantasy XIV

Producing this song while in hospital fighting cancer. Soken is a Legend.

Fun Fact: The person providing the vocals is Jason Charles Miller, the original English voice actor for Raubahn (from ARR)!

"Only alive in fighting death's amber embrace." Azem's star crystal is amber colored. Elidibus called the WoL the personification of death. Sweet mercy the references.

Elidibus wasn't the only one expending four limit bars when pushed to the edge. #welcomebacksoken

Coming back after patch 6.4 really makes the story come full circle. What Elidibus could have been.

"Like broken angels, wingless, casts from heaven's gate." "No more men shall have wings to bear him to paradise. Henceforth, he shall walk."

"The rains have ceased, and we have been graced with another beautiful day... ...but you are not here to see it."

When you fight the protagonist from a story that isnt yours...

This song now hits like an unmitigated tank buster to my feels.

"To begin, we must first see the end." This hits SO HARD after Endwalker on so many levels.

I feel so stupid. For as long as Shadowbringers has been out I just now noticed the literal countdown in the whispers. One brings shadow. Two toned echoes. Threescore wasted. Four-fold knowing. I am disappointed in myself.

THIS SONG HIT DIFFERENT NOW ;_;

To think that Soken produced this song on hospital bed while fighting cancer... This brings more emotion to this song.

This song hits even harder after Endwalker.

this shit hits different after fanfest...

As someone who played the series since the 1st game, it was such a massive shock that Elidibus transformed into the first hero and still is to this day. It was all beautiful.

Mankind's first hero...and his final hope For victory, I render up my all!

The ascians had sunk too much into their failing scheme, and thus Elidibus was the only one left, who was basically a robot running on a preset program; rejoin the shards. He not only realizes this, but also knows that he is the only one left. This was a mercy kill.

"Hell take us, Heaven can wait" will never fail to crack my voice when singing along.

"One brings shadow, one brings the light; two-toned echoes tumbling through time." I love how the meaning of this line changes the further you get into Shadowbringers. Originally, you are the Warrior of Light, and the Ascians are beings of shadow. But in the First, you become the Warrior of Darkness, saving that world from the Flood of Light. When you fight Hades, it is quite literally your Light against his Shadow. And now, in the dirge of the last true Amaurotian, you remain the Warrior of Light fighting against THE Warrior of Light, the originator of the very idea of the Warrior of Light. "In the rain do darkness and light fade." This final battle isn't between Light and Dark--it's about a tragedy, about people who suffered immensely, who lost everything, and desperately yearn to save/restore what they had lost. Defeating Elidibus here would have been seen as a triumph back in Stormblood, ending the last of the Paragons. But now, it's not so much a victory as it is a funeral for a loss so great that it's difficult to imagine.
