The Eorzean Symphony: Final Fantasy XIV Orchestral Album Vol.3 album is a two disc album. The first disc contains all 7 tracks from Final Fantasy XIV Orchestral Arrangement Album Vol.3 plus an additional arrangement of The Final Day. The second disc contains recordings from the FINAL FANTASY XIV Orchestra Concert 2022 -Eorzean Symphony-, performed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra alongside guest performers Keiko (a pianist known for FFXIV, Fire Emblem, and PSO2), GLORY CHORUS TOKYO (known for Metaphor: ReFantazio), and the amazing Jason Charles Miller and Amanda Achen.

The blu-ray version has a live recording of the concert and I'd love to get my hands on a copy. Unfortunately it is out of stock. A few sections from the concert have been published on Youtube such as Tomorrow and Tomorrow, Close in the Distance, Endcaller, and a Behind the Scenes look. I would not recommend watching these videos unless you've finished Endwalker.

I highly recommend this album. It really pulls at my heartstrings and reminds me how much FFXIV has played a role in my adult life.

I was playing through the patch 6.2 (Post-Endwalker) content today and stumbled into a kind of cinematic looking composition with how everyone was standing around so I couldn't help but take a screenshot. It does feature some light spoilers for 6.1 story content, but nothing huge.

Hmmph, i'm playing through the 6.1 patch atm and the story feels so..... weird after SHB/EW. I know it's a story reset now, but i didn't quite expect this! :D Not sure what to think about it yet.

Finished at last! Overall I really enjoyed this expansion, pacing issues aside. It's not my fav but is a solid way to wrap up most of the plots started back in 2.0. Will probably write up a review later tonight.

Having not played since Heavensward, I no longer know what I'm doing. All of my skills and actions are different or switched up, my quick bar is half empty as a result, and I don't really understand the meta game anymore.

All of my skills and actions are different or switched up, my quick bar is half empty as a result, and I don't really understand the meta game anymore. I don't know if I should roll a new character to relearn, or if I should just try to do old content on my existing character.

Why, why, why is there a sale on the collector's edition? Why did I purchase it? I don't have time for this, but I guess I'm going to be making some time.

I'm kind of wondering if this isn't the end of the line for me and FFXIV. This update seems cool, but I can't bring myself to log in at all, despite not having done any of the new raids, new trials, and only poking around the island a little bit.

I felt at times like my times was being straight up wasted. The story finds a way to screech to a halt every 20 minutes even if you ignore side quests (and you should)

But despite that, it had some amazing new areas and explored really cool ideas, specially towards the very end, when I was fully gripped.

I felt at times like my times was being straight up wasted. The story finds a way to screech to a halt every 20 minutes even if you ignore side quests (and you should)

But despite that, it had some amazing new areas and explored really cool ideas, specially towards the very end, when I was fully gripped.

Even then tho, and maybe specially then, it really expects you to remember people from ARR, Heavensward and Stormblood that I had no intention of ever thinking about again lol so a lot of those scenes fell completely flat.

BUT, even when dealing with the people and events I did remember it felt like it was just pandering to itself, like a weird collection of references and neverending string of people going "REMEMBER ME? I'M HERE TOO, THAT'S RIGHT, Insert here their catchphrase or reference" for literally hours, if you add them up by the end.

Hopefully tho, this being "The end" of the story they began means from now on it won't happen again, and I can't wait to get into fully new stuff in the future.

Overall, very glad I played it, extremely strong ending and great new characters and places.

Gameplay wise, the implementation of the first couple dungeons felt disappointingly "meh", specially since they focus on 2 of my favorite summons from the franchise, and the new jobs are the opposite of what I wanted... BUT, the Summoner rework is incredible (my all time main) and the last dungeon from the main story is the best one they've ever done.

I'm not going to do it because I think my MMO days are behind me, but every time I see any news about Endwalker, I'm a tiny bit tempted to jump back into FFXIV.

I swear, if I hear how we're "privileged" to play FFXIV and how we shouldn't fuss about their servers not being able to log people or keep them in queue, I will personally shove a mango down someone's throat.
