For the month of January, we're featuring a track from Final Fantasy XV as a delayed celebration of the game's release! I want to say upfront how sorry I am that I failed to provide updates for you all for 5 whole months. 2016 was not a good time, and I lost a lot of motivation for many things I've always been passionate about. I've been working a lot harder since the new year started to get myself out of the rut I sunk into. Thank you all for being so patient and for always sharing beautiful artwork with our group! We are a little over 5 years old in this group, so I will be keeping a schedule to make sure I get updates out on a regular, monthly basis again. They will likely be released mid-month to allow for as much news as possible to be covered.

ALSO - we encourage you to suggest your favorite songs to us! The tracks we have featured in the past are listed below, but if you'd like us to feature one of those tracks again, please let us know! When you suggest a song,  we always appreciate a little reason why it's your favorite, but it's not required. I'd like to get a list made for upcoming months:

LIST OF SONG FEATURES FOR 2017:

JANUARY - "Invidia" (XV)
FEBRUARY - "Streets of Rabanastre" (XII) - Azurelly
MARCH - "Saber's Edge" (XIII) - AiroLamb

Though I have yet to play the game (I'm saving up for a PS4 at the moment) I listened to the whole OST to find a song to feature from Final Fantasy XV. Before I begin to talk about the track, I do want to emphasize something: PLEASE RESPECT YOUR FELLOW MEMBERS AND REFRAIN FROM SPOILING ANY PART OF THE GAME. Personally, I am the type of person who likes to remain in the dark about new Final Fantasy games because I enjoy being able to experience the game without expecting certain events to happen.

I chose this track to kick off the new year because it is exciting, heart-pumping battle music that has a dramatic introduction and then kicks off with a mix of orchestral and rock. It is a track that is worthy of being heard more throughout the game but unfortunately is only featured a few times (according to several players). It is epic, it is melodic, and really encapsulates a sense of urgency. I really look forward to the day when I'll be able to play this game and hear this beautiful soundtrack with the context of the story and gameplay.


How do you feel about this song? Do you like it? Did it have an effect on you? Leave a comment with your opinion on the song! (Remember to avoid spoilers!)

"There are over 1,000 songs to choose from!"

Yeah, there are a lot to choose! :love:
I'm gonna go on their DISTANT WORLDS Philharmonic Orchestra concert on May this year and I'm really excited to listen to the finest songs of the entire series :la:

If I read the past suggestions. There's something I'm missing a bit.

What about the "Theme of Love" from Final Fantasy IV?

I can't remember if I suggested before :O But this song is also a memorable song of this game I always remember of the deep bonding between Cecil and Rosa :love:
