Hyskaris: First time I heard this in the MSQ, I was so confused. But still joyful and happy. Something about it just hit in such a way that made me think, "...Well, why not?" How come we can't be this upbeat? What the hell says the song needs to be dramatic and foreboding?

That same feeling hit me again in the final cutscene. Watching the whole city fade to black, everyone finally passing on and leaving the empty buildings behind. It was beautiful in a horrific way. But it didn't make me sad. It was cathartic. I've lost so many people over the years, but somehow this gave me a little bit of closure. If Endwalker was about accepting the inevitability of death, Dawntrail was about being able to move on from loss. It's, quite literally, about letting everything go and starting fresh. What a fitting way to begin a brand new arc for Final Fantasy XIV.
metallotaku: I think of this as a good start for whats to come. May our journey never end.
JadedReality21: Akino been going hard since Genesis of Aquarion all the way back in '05. I'm still shocked she found her way to XIV. First Scream now this.
SweetyMiki: Now this version has the oomph I wanted. This makes the song so much better. Honestly, I don't think the hate for the song is justified. This is so much better than the default Dawntrail theme imo. Thanks for uploading it.
sladeslasher4036: This Expansion gave me a feeling of homesickness, idk maybe it’s just me.
WhataFruit: this version is actually the proper length unlike the other one so thank you
coconutz11: Awful. Just awful. This whole scene was a fucking mess with this terrible song distracting you from Erenville's monologue. They have really, really lost the plot.
Arunel: What a beautiful song to conclude the first part of the first chapter of the new era of FF XIV!
TenmaChaan: shit sounds like a disney movie credits song xD
yannobzh: Music is good but doesn't really fit in the MSQ cutscenes where it was put, imo. This was playing while watching Solution 9 people crying for Sphene, it was kinda funny. I would have loved to actually see a play in Living Memory made by the people, who are falsely "happy" singing this song while we turn off the lights of Living Memory, or something like that?
IronTrickster: The ending made me cry, love this song and Dawntrail as a whole, here's to a bright future
PrussiasGirl: I loved the ending part where it said our journey won't end what a great nod
