My big hope, is that next Fan Fest, the Primals Concert has a full jazz band with them.

To add to that why is this in Tuliyollal question, it also speaks a lot about the city, the music and the region has such a mixture of vibrant cultures, as does the song as it comes and goes with different instruments. Truly one of the best themes of the expansion.

The muted trumpet solo with the booming low brass that moment gets me every time

I wasn’t expecting something so jazzy but I really like it and it makes chilling in the city really nice

I love how every comment when we logged in on day 1 of early access was only "wow, this music hits hard" or "was not expecting jazz"

When I heard the day theme, it was after learning the lore behind Tuliyollal. The fact it's a city built by multiple cultures, a mish-mash of people working together. Then the *day* theme picked in and I started GUSHING to people over the big bad choice. It was so intentional, a big band of people working together. Goddamn I love this game's music.

The little Close in the Distance motif really got me.

Whoever decided to put big band jazz in the main city deserves a raise

As a former jazz band trombonist, I love when I get to hear it in game. The Radz-at-han night theme featured heavy trombone too

Brightness and joy describes Tuliyollal pretty well. Colorful decorations, buildings with open sides to let the sea breeze through, and I bet that breeze carries the smell of fresh cooked food towards hungry shoppers. It's the kind of place where you'd expect paid performers and buskers alike to play upbeat or sultry music depending on the mood.

God the Dawntrail OST is so sooooo good. I haven't run into a mid, let a lone a bad, track yet

I think you just gave words to how all of us feel/felt the moment we stepped in to Tuliyollal and each time we go back to town. it was incredibly unexpected, but an instant hit!

Tuliyolal themes both remind me so heavily of Donkey Kong's Jungle Japes theme, and it's been so fun to see how "Jungle" music is always swing or jazz, and I swear that has to originate at least in part from I Wan'na be Like You from the Jungle Book

What a great song. There's definitely clarinet solos in there too, which are very reminiscent of Benny Goodman, a la Sing, Sing, Sing!

As a recreational drummer, I was absolutely floored by the Tuliyollal day theme. I'm actually curious about trying to learn this track.

I just imagine a waiter just ask if I want a margarita everytime I enter this zone lol

I saw someone somewhere else point out that this song being in a Mesoamerican city was probably a reference to The Emperor's New Groove, which might be the case, but I did find that after some time wandering Tuliyollal it just... fit. Purely because of that brightness and joy and effervesence that you pointed out. Also watching you dance in your chair was a delight. Particularly since I was doing much the same when I first heard this track.

The first time I heard this transition from night music to day music I was just floored xD It's so perfect.

Soken didn't say "Hey, yall wanna do a jazz number?" He said "GUYS, WE'RE DOING A JAZZ NUMBER!"

I was gushing about this theme to my girlfriend, about the thematic brilliance of using jazz, and she mentioned that she was pretty certain that Latin jazz was a big part of jazz's history. I looked it up and, sure enough, the influences of Afro-Cuban and Afro-Brazilian jazz are swept under the rug here in the states. I had no idea! This makes me want to listen to Latin jazz to see if I can hear any connections between it and Tuliyollal's day theme! So it's not only thematically brilliant, but also a wonderful cultural nod! I'm barely into the expac but all the music is so good.

So...I know this is gonna sound weird, but Tulliyollal's day theme really reminds me of those old Nabisco commercials back in the 90s.

Im so looking forward to your take on the trial and dungeon themes. They're so good.

It’s an incredible track, honestly. But when I stepped into this Aztec/Caribbean themed zone I was completely blindsided by it. The longer I’m there, the more it feels like it fits, but at first I was like “What in the world is going on!?” It was definitely theming whiplash, at first. Lol

The Endwalker melody in the piano at the end really got me

its so incredible how accurately music can describe a physical place - because you're right, the music mirrors how tuliyollal feels - bright, joyous, bustling and especially bustling with lots of different people from different places - hence big band being so perfect for the locale - lots of different instruments coming together to make a joyous song is a perfect reflection of tuliyollal

the drums in the very beginning reminds me of "sing, sing, sing" and the brass started and for a split second i thought it actually was "sing, sing, sing" but then the notes were different. faked me out there for a sec. lol

Yeah I don't think anyone was expecting this theme when they got there. I didn't like it at first because it was such a vast difference from the Shadowbringers and Endwalker music I've come to adore for its heavy tracks, but as I set up my crafting stations in Tulliyolal and the day theme kept hitting, it pretty quickly grew to be my favorite hub to stay in. The only hub that came close was Shadowbringers Hub 1 night theme, but simply because it was beautiful and love the motif entrance in the song. This theme is just straight up a bop and Tulliyolal is one of my favorite places to craft now.

Hoping he reacts to the final dungeon theme because that song was hands down my favorite theme this entire expansion so far

I truly love the fact that they've put a big band song front and centre for this, knowing small bits about the history of jazz. I really hope we get to hear more from the region as the expansion goes on, maybe even some bossa nova territory. I've always loved the jazz pieces in 14 and I can only hope there's more to come

It just starts with Sing Sing Sing, and I love it

I can't help but to think of the theme to The Tick, Hey Pachuco, and Zoot Suit Riot.

I was not expecting ffxiv meets sing sing sing but now I wouldn’t want it to be anything else!

not much of a music expert but ive been absolutely loving the percussion in this expansion a lot.

I absolutely fell in love with this song. I spent waaaay to much time in Tuliyollal because of this track😂

This is my favorite new track. I love it.

I really feel the Tuliyollal theme really helps sell the start of a new story arc, as well as just help sell the whole vacation vibe of the place.

hi marco, i LOVE your videos, mainly the ultrakill ones! anyways, are you ever going to make a reaction to any sonic track? For example "Open your heart" or "Knight of the wind" or any other good sonic song (with lyrics) out there

I was here :poggers: for this one hour.

An interesting thing about the motif this time is that... I wouldn't say I'm necessarily a big fan of the vocal track that most of this derives from, but I DO find that I quite like a lot of the zone theme variations on it this time. A lot of the night themes in particular I find very relaxing, and I really enjoy the upbeat peppiness of this Tuliyollal day track as well. I can't figure it out lol.

See the thing is most ppl say this music was so out of the vibes of the whole patch but tbh, even if it s out of the vibes, it s the best song this expansion brought and it s amazing.

I got to this city last night and I was like, this is the most donkey kong ass song I've ever heard.

This music is perfect for depicting a vibrant city presided over by a goofy yet kind leader.

I'd love to see someone try an choreograph a dance to this song.

cant wait until you do a break down on "A Trailing Unending" and the trial version of it. As of this moment the trial version isn't available for players and only can be found by searching Queen Sphene ost.

This is somewhat nostalgic, reminds me of the sims 1 shopping or building bgm lol

Hey Marco have you listened to the sonic unleashed soundtrack yet? Somehow I was kind of reminded to it by this music.

Can you react to the very first song on the boat? And it plays in some cutscenes throughout tulliyollal (it’s the chill one with congas/bongos?) I love it so much

Final Fantasy dawn trail, more like Jazz Trail. Love it

This music is like paying homage like new york city, or chicago in the 1950's, and usually when this music plays, i'm looking around every corner to see how many mafia beastman wielding a tommygun.

I was not expecting Jazz when I got to Tuliyollal, not sure what I was expecting, but Jazz was not it. Makes the place feel a lot more 'alive' and vibrant because of it though, so good choice far as im concerned.

Hello Marco, when will we have the remuria video? And nice content like everytime!

I had a discussion where someone was like "This is N'Orleans Swing" and I was like..... no? N'Orleans swing is a lot more... lose. Slurry. This screams big band swing of the North; something you'd hear in Chicago, it's more snappy and "precise", as precise as you can be with swing, anyway. ;)

hey marco, you should check out "Who I used to be" by PGR, i think its quite underrated compared to their other songs great video btw!

Anytime I zone in here I think of Jim Carrey’s The Mask. Somebody stop me!!

My friend said she didn't like it because it clashed with the Mesoamerican/Hispanic theming of the expansion and while I see her point of view, Tuliyollal is also described similarly as a cultural melting pot, not unlike America. What better way to reference the birthplace of Jazz than to play a piece of what one would expect to hear during the bustling Roaring 20's? I find its placement very much appropriate.

Jazzy Bossa Nova music being used to represent South/Meso-America isn't just interesting, but it's a smart choice culturally

The start is absolutely inspired by the FFX Chocobo theme and nobody can tell me anything different 😂

That is some _severe_ sexaphone in the latter half.

Do the final boss theme - get ready

Man, I love this song; I heard Jerod(The8BitDrummer) played it one time on his stream, and it's just so jazzy + chill that I just want to stand up and playing the trumpet along with it! I'm looking forward to seeing more Dawntrail OST reaction video from you, Marco!

Hey Marco you should react to Leviathan theme from FF16 DLC

when are you going to react to library of ruina themes again?

If the music gets good enough, you could save time on your title and just write "Opera Singer Breaks Down"

My one disappointment with Tuliyollal.......is that I cant buy the damn night theme dangit! Absolutely love the music in the city and I wanted to use the night theme in our FC house since we use calmer tunes. Grinded out every area's FATEs to unlock the Tuliyollal shop, only to be devastated when I could only buy the day theme.

But do you know....La-hee?

I get big donkey Kong vibes from this song and I love it lol

I have only one "complaint" about the Dawntrail OST. To me personally, the DT motif is a bit overused. It is absolutely EVERYWHERE this expansion. I may just not remember other expansions' motifs as much, but it feels a tad overdone.

The music piece itself is pretty good, but I just feel like it doesn't fit where it is played - especially when you consider this is played in a non-stop loop. For a main hub *background* music this is just too much "in your face". I would expect something like this in the Gold Saucer, but i quickly ended up turning off the music in Tuliyollal because it just got too obnoxious.

Please please please do the final zone piece: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/paecerCVuMjVaZs.html

This theme totally ruined the mood for me the first time I arrived in Tuliyollal, was expecting something totally different :D now I'm more used to it but I'm still like, really? When I hear it I don't feel like I'm on a holiday. I feel like i'm in a small pub in NYC. I get there probably is deeper meaning, but that's not changing how it makes me feel when I hear it.

I love a lot of the stuff in Dawntrail but the entire second half left me disappointed. Only the music remained constantly good

the music doesn't fit the city at all idk why people like this donkey kong music

It's a good song but it's almost an entire rip off of Sing Sing Sing by Benny Goodman

i hate this song lmao im happy for the people who enjoy it, but i gotta hit the mute every time.

I actually hate this theme more than possibly any other music in 14's history. It makes no sense for the vibe of the zone IMHO. Wtf does a middle American Maya/Aztec city have to do with swing music?

At least the music is good…

Ngl this update feels kinda prejudice tacos, ponchos ??? And you got people with these weird accents that don’t sound right at least respect the culture same with raz at Han making the residence elephants was kind of racist and the accents were just kinda weird obviously not being acted by the people they’re really inspired by these made up accents are horrible because they are super inaccurate
