I can never forget the days long ago when I'd play this game, calling it "my second life," and getting the opportunity to meet hundreds of fellow gamers across the globe! This game has a mysterious appeal to it that draws me back year after year after year. Sadly I had to stop playing in 2006, and now this game is much like the girl of my dreams that I know I can never hold again. Ah, Nostalgia you are a beautiful and cruel mistress.
I will never forget my adventures in Ronfaure back in 2004.
I'm happy this is the theme that was playing in the background when I was goofing around with various people who were also new to the game. Not knowing what we're really doing. We were only exploring the area around Sandy, smashing random mobs and being ambushed by them, and answering the occasional call for help from other people..
Being 14 years old and logging in to venture out into Ronfaure with my friends for the first time... no other game experience could possibly compare. It was magic. And this song brings it all back.
I had a dream last night that I went back. In my dream they had released a new expansion and I was exploring the new areas with my old LS. Geeze, I miss this game and the people.
The flourishes and embellishments in this arrangement of Ronfaure make it truly remarkable - the best song on the Final Fantasy XI soundtrack. It makes me proud to be an Elvaan on San d'Oria.
God I love this song. I bought this book at the first convention I went to, and man was it one of the best things I've bought xD I'm addicted to this song!
I never played it but this piece of music has been with me at the happiest moments. It has got me to pick up the controller which I put away for good a few years ago and start playing... Memories.... T_T
@DeathBlooms216 I just ordered the FFXI Piano Colloctions sheet music book too! The moment it arrives, I'm turning to Ronfaure and starting to learn it!
THis is just beautiful, i wish more ppl would post FFXI music on the net,, as i cant seem to find anyplace to find it, and net im always a bit, Hmm about u know? Thanks this is great anyway ^-^
Although I went and chose a different town for my race, I don't regret being a Mithra of San d'Oria.

So much time roaming around those beautifully enchanting forests at the start of my adventure. What a beautifully nostalgic theme.

Windurst is the best nation.
San d'Oria has the best starter music.
Lastok just sucks.

scrub if you live in america you should love Bastok because it resembles us the most of all other nations in FFXI, besides on my server we owned.

In every server, Lastok is last.
They might get first if Windurst has everything and they team up with Sandy.

Wow. I thought the song couldn't get any better, and then they surround it with a whole flood of embellishments to prove me wrong. Thumbs up.
