The Skydeep Cenote Theme "Lost in the Deep" - FFXIV OST

The fact that the fabled City of Gold, a utopia land of eternal life and beauty, is hidden behind a mass grave of children conceived to save their civilization is so profoundly upsetting

Depressing as all hell when you realize that a Mass Grave is hiding another Mass Grave... WHAT THE FUCK SQUARE?!?

I will never forget sending my FFXIV buddies one simple DM: "I was not prepared for the dead baby cave."

Starts as a dungeon theme Becomes a defining moment theme.

One thing I want to note is as I went through this dungeon, after we got past the dead baby cave into the Yok Hoy quarry, I took notice that the gear we were getting was recolours of the Ronka set from Shadowbringers and that a lot of the enemies were from the Qitana Ravel. I thought it was just a neat coincidence then I did the Tender Valley.....these world designers are sneaky

This one's official name is "Lost in the Deep". It's an amazing piece of music given what we know about the place.

I can't stop thinking about the mamool ja mother in Tuliyolal tossing her kid into the air and catching them and just how much that means for them. that simple joy of family.

"What an expac, huh?" "Captain, it's only the level 95 dungeon"

I think the song that plays here is one of my personal favorites from the expansion so far. It also fits the theming of the dungeon really well.

This part was pretty heavy in the story, up until this point it was all Wuk shenanigans and then they pull a heavy gut punch with just how bad things have been for the mamool ja people. When you see all those canisters in the opening cinematic and that haunting melody hits, this place sticks with you, long after it's over.

This theme being a somewhat reoccurring track in MSQ is great but god it really puts in mind how insane the Blessed Siblings being selectively bred in a hope of just surviving, nonetheless being exceptional above the already exceptional. Individuals can’t marry their loves as they have to marry for the sake of blending tribes, try for children, birth, and they die for countless times. And if one lives, they just get put through a trial by fire because they didn’t die before their first breaths just to hopefully prove their ancestor’s points. It’s so much more than “that sucks for those dead babies” it effected everyone so much

the use of that music after the dungeon, in one of the cutscene, crushed me (still does...and its been hours!!!)

The melody that kicks in at 1:08 has to be one of Soken's best. This song is fucking incredible, this dungeon was a huge highlight of the expac for me.

When this plays in the cutscene after the succession when gulool ja ja tells everyone something and the strings come in it fits so fucking well

songs perfect because it’s so mysterious and it transitions well into the futuristic and sci fi looking setting we don’t know about yet

Knowing there's thousands of childs resting here gave me chill. I felt not comfortable during this dungeon and this feeling will surely persist. This music is borh gracious and terrifying.

Ah yes, when Dawntrail became Traumatrail. This dungeon was an experience

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TO BE A FUN SUMMER VACATION. No one said anything about a cave full of dead babies!

"It's been three years since my brother left us..." I can imagine a lot of us probably figured out the Head of Reason was gone, but was I the only one who hoped he was still alive and would finally talk to us when the contest was over?

Hearing it play in a cutscene after the dungeon hurt me so, so bad. Even hearing it now has me emotional all over again, fuck lol. Definitely my favorite dungeon theme in this expansion (so far).
