    @@DJtheEmoPirate Indeed. Like, I enjoy the fact that the song has a few different connections and ideas that players can draw from, especially as they go through the story. At first you might think this is the citizens of Eorzea asking why they must suffer this horrible fate? IE The Garlean's and their attempt to use Dalmude for conquest. Or that line "Mired by a plague of doubt, the land, she mourns" could be interpetrated as how the land suffers irreparable harm each and every time a Primal is summoned, corrupting not just the land, but the summoner themselves... sometimes... (honestly it seems a bit inconsistent as we saw with Shiva's followers and Ramu.) But now you realize that this is more referring to the Ascians, specifically the sundered souls of the Ascians who have been reborn time and time again, and made to suffer and strive, when in a past life they had everything they could want and more.

    In all honesty, I was scared when I clicked on this, Answer is one of the most important piece of music in my life. It means more to me than anything else. Final Fantasy XIV means more to me than any video games ever did. While I firmly believe that the original song just can never be replicated in emotion and meaning, this cover is magnificent. As a fan of metal and the original piece, I was not disappointed. It was well worth the 7 minutes watch.

For I speak only for myself. If you find comfort in my words, they are yours for the taking, but that is your choice. Now and ever after, as it has always been." the fact that all these dark knight lines technically come from our own subconscious just makes them extra personal.

    I have listened to the original time and again and each time it gets my emotions riled up. It means so much to me, this song. It reminds me of a simpler time, a time without the shadows in my life. The fact your version does the same just shows how serious you took this and the long wait (I don't know anymore when you first mentioned it) and it is everything I could have imagined, nay, it is more than I could have imagined. You got the perfect people onboard for this. And your vocals were over the top, I never heard you sing like this before (at least I can't think of any piece right now)

    I just came from a very long day at work and saw this popping out in my recommendations. I consider this song to be untouchable and the best piece of music ever made for a video game. I had unrealistically high expectations. And holy damn. It shook me to my core. I knew from the very first few piano notes that this would be an experience. It would be disrespectful to call this only amazing. It was unbelievable, and if I didn't know the original, you could have told me that this cover was the original in the game and I would have believed it. You are a bunch of incredibly talented performers. Out of this world, I wasn't expecting that today. Thank you for that bundle of emotions !

I have some insight on the issue too so I would like to say some things you might benefit from: if you are in a very dark place you may feel that everything is static and you can't finđ the power to do anything - there are actually brief moments in there where your ability switches momentarily for the better. Notice these moments. When they occur, do anything, things you like or chores, just to keep yourself active. You may notice that your visits to the dark place become shorter. Sounds simple but can give you great results. Also, if you are into self-help stuff, Acceptance and commitment (ACT) therapy books provide practices that can be not just helpful for depression but also mind-opening in general. Brighter days for you.

    Pure chills from listening to this! My gosh the five of you put so move love and passion into this cover and it really paid off. I've listened to so many covers of this song, but this one just hits so much harder. The biggest and most pleasant surprise was hearing Ariah and Bard ov Asgard lending their incredible vocal talents to the chorus. Hearing Myuu's vocals during the piano sections was really a treat! Of course, Skar and Kristen absolutely killed it on vocals. I love this cover and thank you to everyone who leant their time and talents to making this come to life!

I mean, all of your covers are great...but you put "Answers" on a very high pedestal. I'm curious to see how you plan to top this. 😅 I'm really looking forward to your next song 😊

    Ok, so when I watched this at the premiere, I thought it absolutely rocked, but I was analyzing it too much to fully enjoy. But viewing it again today, my head just exploded, and I had to try really hard not to rock out in the office. This really is a masterpiece. The second verse especially gave me chills: the guitar lick in in the interlude; the way the chords and the vocals intertwined in perfect harmony; the way Skar went full throttle on the vocals, then Kristin bringing into the drop *smh*. Bravo, everyone. Thank you for putting so much love and skill into these covers. May you ever walk in the light of the Crystal.

    She can sing any genre. We will hear a lot from her in the future. I have followed happenings in metal for a few decades now - there has never been a female singer whose vocal versatility comes even close to Kristin's. Of course there are singers like Noora Louhimo and Alissa White-Gluz who are hard to beat in their own special areas, but if there is someone who can do all the things Kristin does and more, I would be grateful for the name.

    Honestly the first minute with just Skar and the piano is my favorite part, it's absolutely beautiful. Such a good voice, such a good expression of emotion in voice and body language. Completely sold and drew me in to what he was singing, so captivating. The lyrics also fit FF16 so extremely well even though it wasn't written for it. Fantastically done! Begging somehow for a 7 minute length of that part Skar! Pleeasseee. It would make for such a good soundtrack for cinematic short of FF16!

    This is a very special song when it comes to FFXIV, it endcapped two different eras of the game and it was the perfect song to do so. Sadly, the next era likely won't end with it because Bahamut and Venat are no longer important to the plot. Whatever comes next will be something completely new and we can only hope it ends on a song just as if not even _more_ epic.

Secondly for @mattwosrandomnoncontent I think that the song will remain to the first story arc of the game is a very good thing. I am sure we will hear snippets of it in the new story and we are all gonna crack when we do 😅 I personally wouldn’t want it to be reused and rather let’s get a new one and let that grow over the next story arc.
