‘Final Fantasy 14’ medley has 200 musicians play over a decade of themes

4 August, 2023

Over a decade of Final Fantasy 14 themes have been arranged in a medley with 200 fans and musicians as a love letter to the massively multiplayer online role-playing game.

Masayoshi Soken’s compositions for the beloved game were woven through by Husky by the Geek, with each of the expansions’ themes given their own section in the performance. Check it out below:

It starts with A Realm Reborn, then Heavensward with ‘Torn From The Heavens’ becoming ‘Locus’ which then turns into ‘Brute Justice’. There is also a rework of the Rak’tika Greatwood’s theme ‘Civilisations’ which is remembered fondly by fans for Soken’s otamatone cover of it in 2021. The list of all of the 200 musicians and vocalists is credited in the comments of the video.

“When I started on YouTube, I always dreamed of playing in such community collabs. Now I’m the one who organizes it, and I hope I can make people happy by playing in it!” said Husky by the Geek and assured that there would be more medleys in the future. “I had a lot of fun arranging this song & assigned parts suited to everyone so people could join regardless of their level.”

Elsewhere, Final Fantasy 14‘s Dawntrail expansion was shown off at this year’s Fan Fest, featuring the new tropical region of Tural. The new hub city is Tuliyollal, located in the northern reaches of Yok Tural. When they arrive, the Warrior of Light and the Scions face conflict over the line of succession for the next leader of the Mamool Ja.

Additionally, it was announced that the game is on its way to Xbox Series X|S in early 2024, with 4K support on the Xbox Series X.

In other gaming news, a new Lego Harry Potter game was allegedly leaked by a Warner Bros. social media account, corroborating reports from earlier this year.
