My wife has arranged another video game song! You guys requested “To Zanarkand” from FFX, and she happily put my EverQuest requests aside. Grumble…. Nevertheless, “To Zanarkand” is a really pretty song. Such a calming, almost haunting melody. I’m honestly not very familiar with FFX, but listening to the song and looking at pictures I can surmise that Zanarkand felt like a once great city, and now lies in ruins.

Definitely visit her Musical Bri Youtube Channel and subscribe/like/etc. You’ll make her day.
If you have more requests let her know! She’s actually reading your comments. I’m expecting my EverQuest next (no pun intended for those paying attention)…
In somewhat (loosely) relataed news, I have started playing Final Fantasy Explorers. Initial impressions are very favorable, and I can tell you now I’m already liking it more than the Monster Hunter series. Much more my pace and style.
To me, this song is about stumbling upon something new and unexpected, building up as a struggle to understand it, a sort of discovery process, and then losing it as soon as you realize you have it, during the climax. The softer ending represents the memory.
PS. Everquest Next Confirmed. Don’t be fooled by disclaimer.
