Granted, it's just an artificial aetherial sea. They purge those souls of memories very much the same way. A "pure" soul is then nothing else but a mote of energy. A blank piece of paper, if you will. I agree it is unethical but those souls belonged to people that died for one reason or another. The soul would've been gone and purged either way, they just accelerate the process. What we see in those containers is thus nothing more but energy, devoid of anything sentient.

​@ExceedProduction from my understanding that's incorrect, normally souls return to the aetherial sea and will be reborn as a new individual, while this process harvests that soul and expends it like a redbull, much like what Kokytos was doing in P9, eventually the aether of the shard will all be expended and consumed and they will once again run dry on resources

Yes, and souls can retain memories imprinted on them between cycles of rebirth. See: Hermes, Gaia. Souls get mostly cleansed but strongly held convictions can be retained, and some techniques exist to evoke memories from souls. Further, souls “know” their to merge with their counterparts during rejoinings, and we know soul wavelengths are retained because WOL shares a wavelength with Azem even though their soul has gone through hundreds of cycles. So yes, what they are doing here is permanently erasing the actual person’s soul in order to create an artificial version of them. To make that every vestige of their real self is obliterated. Scary.

@@ashenmoor1549 Reading through the logs in Origenics reveals that their procedure in erasing memories from the souls goes down to even the most minimal trace, which means they are erasing the vestigial memories of the Ancients. Should this extend beyond Alexandria, well, to put it simply, that is a direct threat to Emet-Selch's request of remembering his kin and the World Unsundered. Not to mention that the whole soul recycling/trade shebang is basically spitting on his seat's duty as keeper of the aetherial sea and overseer of death.

​@@ashenmoor1549Capitalistic version of what happened to folks during The Final Days.

Baba is you

Hero, turn back NOW. The layers of this city are not for your kind. Turn back, or you will be crossing the will of The Queen.

Damn. Even the name goes hard.

I got lucky and got the drop on my first run with Trust

@@Heroisback92192 Oh hey! same here! My luck normally is terrible so that was a surprise honestly.

We can't catch a break 😭 poor WOL

the theme was taken from FF9, so this isn't original. One race needing the souls from another planet was FF9's endgame.

Deserves its own genre to be honest.

@@Veddea I think artcore is what it is !! (or close to it, I'm no genius lol)

Do you have a list of what takafumi have made ?

If you listen to DnB heavy themes, chances are its Takafumi Imamura Case in point: On Blade's Edge, Garlemald Express, this one

@@Elyakel A complete list would be very lengthy. I'll just go through it and list the notable ones here, mostly dungeon/raid and boss themes. So quite a few event themes will be left out. Even then, it's still a lot. It's also excluding a few where it's both Imamura and someone else so this list is purely Imamura. From Endwalker (aside from "Garlemald Express"): - dungeon midboss theme "On Blade's Edge" - Vanapasti theme "As the Sky Burns" - Ktisis Hyperboreia theme "Miracle Works" - "Answers (Piano Version)" - Radz-at-Han day theme "Vibrant Voices" - Aglaia boss theme "Radiance" - Pandaemonium raid P6-7 "Scream" and P9-10 "One Amongst the Weary" - Another Mount Rokkon (Criterion) theme "Crimson Rise" - Zeromus phase 1 theme "FINAL FANTASY IV: The Final Battle (Endwalker)" From Shadowbringers: - Malikah's Well theme "Deep Down" - Eden raid E3 "Blinding Indigo", E4 "Landslide", and E5 "Twice Stricken" - The Bozjan Southern Front battle theme "Blood on the Wind" - Emerald Weapon phase 2 theme "The Black Wolf Stalks Again" - Delubrum Reginae final boss theme "The Queen Awakens" - The Dalriada final boss theme "Wrath of the Harrier"

@@DawnAfternoon Yup, very high chances in fact since the only other person who _could_ do DnB is Soken but even then his style is a little different.

@@LightKeyDarkBlade okay thanks to you I understand i'm a huge fan of this guy thanks dude xD

Between this and the whole "people get forgotten after death" thing, I was so happy to see some Type-0 references for once.

​@@the.duck.is.ronin. And the whole thing canonically running on techno-Phantoma. The Type-0 references are amazing and I love the implication that this will be used as an equalizer for our opposition.

Damn, having part of the Iifa Tree's theme in there makes way too much sense given the grand scheme of things. Both it and the Origenics dealt with the artificial handling of souls... Origenics pretty much letting us see how the Iifa Tree was meant to work in that regard, even if using much more advanced technology than what the Iifa Tree was constructed from.

@@Xaivius Huh, interesting way to look at it. I saw the consumption of souls as akin to how Kuja entered Trance, especially when the red aura comes into play. But the use of specific souls for specific purposes, plus the manual way they're extracted from defeated opponents... that would indeed be closer to Phantoma from Type-0. Such a shame that Type-0 is stuck with dated handheld gameplay designs, since so many of its ideas and concepts remain fantastic. While we've got plenty of overt and subtle references to Type-0 on the Bozja questline, more is always welcome. While I certainly get the Iifa Tree reference, where's the leitmotif in this track?

@@david90906 I think it's the starting section, from 0:00 to 0:15. I didn't catch it at first, but comparing it with a x2 speed version of the Iifa Tree theme, it matches well enough.

I thought the same thing!!!!!!

I read this comment and almost immediately noticed that 0:50 was basically doing the cytus motif

Except instead of going down, we're going up.

Thunder iifa tree.

Well lets hope the blood is whet

Most skilled (non-WAR) healer

Especially if you read the terminals. Like “they’re doing WHAT to WHAT???”

Ya I felt the same was reminded of the soylant system on Solaris

I felt that with the Skydeep Cenote, and everything from Vanguard onward. Just something about the music used there felt so wrong, like they didn't belong in the FFXIV world. Not saying it as a bad thing, I enjoyed the themes, but given every other track we've heard in the game, even from The Twinning, Amarout (the city, not the Dungeon), Garlemald, Elpis, all of Ultima Thule... Even everything involving the Omicrons. Those still felt like they belonged in the overall story. But Skydeep Cenote, Vanguard and everything after just felt so unsettling and not part of the overall world.

@@TheAzureGuardian I get what you mean. Yeah... It feels like that, not sure how to explain it, but it feels so out of place, like everything's so messed up. It's amazing how they keep surprising us like this after all these years. Damn.

Well you still hear themes from zones or story moment, for me it wasn't out of place just surprising in a good way , especially for someone who don't like drum and bass and edm at all

You felt like that because you struggled with finding a reason to hate the game when hearing this banger, right? 😂

@@Yokai_Yuri Maybe is because the differences in languages, but I'm not saying its a bad song, I'm saying it in a good way. I'm talking about how the song enhanced my feelings during that section.

Choir are incredible as always, i need more of them xD

hes the dead dad of the pink haired girls you meet with erenville's robot mom. took me a few mins to remember at the time. I think he got executed for treason so it's extra messed up to see him there

You can also read a bit of information on him from one of the terminals inside

@@kilvas Sadly it seems you don't mention it to them. One of them is the quest giver for an expert dungeon and talks about her father during the quest but you cannot tell her about him even when you read all the terminals.

​@@kilvas oh Oh damn Thanks for reminding me now can you tell me where I put my bowl of onions 😭😭

@@kilvas Damn i completely forgot that. this is real sad.

It's purple, and it's called '*Origin*ics'!

I hear it too

Pretty fair, the piano is somewhat similar and the tempo is about the same. That song is goated btw lol

Not a comment I expected to see on a FFXIV video haha

"In fulgur and fire" the theme of the Vanguard dungeon

My thoughts exactly

that's the jungle

yup this is the jungle

its got a jungle a old run down western desert section w steampunk stuff then the cyberpunk hidden ancient cityscape snd locations dlc is a fun mix of stuff

explaining why would be probably the biggest spoilers of the expac

if you’ve played shadowbringers and endwalker you’d know we’d be _going places_ to say the least lol
