Quotes from lyrics do not go in italics, and a single second-level bullet is never correct.


* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sgtpAo71dU "Open Sky - The Theme from Dawntrail"]], starts off upbeat, which is quite a pleasant change from previous expansion themes and that works quite well thematically. Whereas you've been fighting tooth and nail to save worlds before, this expansion is effectively the Warrior of Light's well-deserved vacation. [[PulledFromYourDayOff Or so it seems.]] The song transitions from an upbeat rock theme with a piano backing before eventually transitioning to a heavy rock instrumentation, complete with distorted vocals before switching back to the upbeat tone.
** As the tone of the track changes, the lyrics contain brief mentions of what come before the Dawntrail story, with each line a reference to each expansion ''in order'':
--> ''From the ashes, we're reborn''
--> ''To the heavens as we ride''
--> ''Fighting through the storm''
--> ''Leaving our shadows far behind''
--> ''As we walk right to the end''

* Just in case you haven't had enough of hearing "eScape" from Alphascape V3.0 and The Twinning, it's back again. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wosMXEWlWgE The Primals' cover of eScape]] appears in-game in The Stigma Dreamscape as you battle through waves of Omicrons, the denizens of Omega's homeworld.
** In the "The Omega Protocol" duty, you battle against Omega in their beetle form to start off. Associating this form with Alphascape V3.0 might lead you to think that the music will be eScape, right? Nope. It's reserved for a different part where Omega discovers the existence of dynamis. The fight's mechanics kick it up a notch, with all of Omega's forms appearing at once sometimes, so to hold back with the music was an amazing choice: an awesome, intense song for an awesome, intense moment.

* Rounding off the collection of ''Final Fantasy IV'' remixes is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjkHRNozfvs Zeromus' theme,]] a blood-pumping drum and bass rendition where it's now or never, and you only have this one chance to win.
** Once Zeromus is on the backfoot, the music transitions to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHpNHeWMzcM the Red Wings' theme]]. Originally, it was to portray how terrifying the Red Wings are. Here, it's simultaneously an OhCrap and a victory march as Zeromus has widened the cracks between the shards, but the voidsent is clearly getting desperate.

* The final arrangement of the "Battle of the Four Fiends", titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs4OtauuVns "Voidcast Savior"]], is a variation of the theme that never lets up on the brass instruments or the choir. But it doesn't stop at the ''Four Fiends'' arrangement either; partway through the theme, it transitions to an arrangement of ''Final Fantasy IV'''s main theme, instruments still blaring to accompany the epic battle between the self-proclaimed savior of the void and you, the savior of your own world, then onto the good ol' Final Fantasy prelude.

** Brute Justice from Alexander Midas takes "Locus" and "Metal" and proceeds to combine and remix them into a 70's sentai style battle theme known as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pdqUzOH_Hg "Metal - Brute Justice Mode"]]. It's every bit as amazing (and cheesy) as this sounds.

** For the 12th floor of the Alexander raid, we have a final boss theme dedicated to the titular primal, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IiOzi05IlA "Rise"]]. Goblin hip-hop never sounded so awesome. Say it with me: Sonic''BOOM''!

* Patch 5.3 introduces one of the best boss themes, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IiG4vo9k9U "To the Edge"]] (''massive spoiler alert!''), to serve as a TriumphantReprise of the Amaurot and Shadowbringers main themes, especially since the boss in question has taken on the primal form most suited to defeating you: [[VideoGame/FinalFantasy1 the Warrior of Light]]! The song gained an extra level of awesome poignancy when Soken revealed he had written it while in the hospital fighting cancer, unbeknownst to even most members of the development team. If you want a more chill and laidback take of this, there's also the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kz67KmxxIk Lounge Jam]] arrangement. [[https://youtu.be/oI671BAORUM Now performed by the Primals]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuDwBZfd_OA Full Fathom Five]], the theme of The Tempest, manages to be mystical and melancholic at the same time. Being the place where the fallen Ascian city of Amaurot rests, it's only fitting. Even more breathtaking is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW7b8Mo_SFU Neath Dark Waters,]] the theme of the recreated Amaurot. A LonelyPianoPiece backed by the ticking of a clock, emphasizing the nature of a peaceful but bygone time.
