this version is the best of the sung versions.. this is how it is supposed to be sung.. it sounds much more pure and authentic. same way as the faye wong version of eyes on me is better than angela aki's version.. aki and calloway are great singers don't get me wrong. but the overpowered belting vocals are not how it's meant to be sung.
however the best version of the song is by the black mages imo and has no vocals at all xD
I heard the song she sings for XIV and I think it tops this easily. I listened to most of the soundtrack already. Some of the songs Nobuo has made are magical.
This reminds me of my soul Mate and I - shes 700 miles away to far she is my true love - love of my life - my first mate. We cant be together now - its sad. I will always love her I have waited for over 30 years baby - whats a few more forever yours
@stocky1955 Do whatever you need to, to be with her. My own love, is even further; (She lives in Romania, I live in Kansas) but I intend to be with her as soon as I get the money.
Tatcat keep making the vids FFXI fans look forward to your work as a BRD this song makes us think why we do our jobs. And there life lessons in this song you did a really good job keep it up
this song and vid make me cry each time i see it. i was told to see this vid when i got bard. it reminded me my failed relations i used to sit in trees and sing to calm myself down.
@KiisuShiite I totally agree with you i been playing for 4 yrs and im not gonna run to the new one. too many memories. Im on a break not my choice and i rly miss it BRD SAM SCH 75
I saw this live in Detroit. It was sung by Susan Calloway. I wasn't sure what to expect since I'd never heard the song before. Her voice is beautiful (much better than this). Epic song.
Water fades back from blue to jade, guiding young rainbows high. Flowers bloom into red and whites, quenching our hearts when they run dry. Angels chained by a beast locked in slumber. Sin washed away by the swift flow of time. I may know the answers. Journeys over snow and sand. What twist in fate has brought us to tread upon this land? Blessed by light and the burden of shadow. Souls abide to an endless desire.
A very cute video, made with a not so common FF game (about FMVs, that is). I like the fact the music is from the game; and it is wonderfully sang. The video is very cute itself, to be honest it does make me think of my current life of singing and being in a "distant world" with my lover... A very cute and touching video. Definetely.
I actually didn't care for this song the first time I heard it, but after a few listens I've really come to appreciate it =) Watching the CoP ending cutscene also brought a tear to my eye, it was very moving.
Thank you. I am a bard on Pandemonium I just came back since I left the game back in 2005, but I am leaving again after only a month remembering why I left. My name on the game is Kiyajio.
This was really touching.. :D I remember doing the Bard quest and how much the story touched me :3 You did an amazing job ^^ Makes me wanna go back to FFXI.. hehe x3
whats this song called? I mean yeah i know its " Distant Worlds" but i cudnt find the original on any FFXI page, i have the Black mages version though. is this the original version which the black mages improvised?
I actually watched the vid just for the song, having heard it not too long ago at the end of CoP (doi) and wanted to hear it again. To my surprise, I stumbled upon perhaps one of the best FFXI music videos out there. You really knew what you were doing with this, and that's refreshing to see. Ty for the emotion :x
hey, I'm on Pandy....well, atm anyway, won't be much longer... my in game brother/rl friend will still be on pandy though. His name is Esperante, mines Esperanta. Notice anything funny @ the names? lol
This is a great movie your work has def increased since ure first vid... this one brought a tear to my eye cause when i did my brd flag i just rushed through it.. this one is very nicly done 5 star rate for you :D
This was really sweet. It's touched me a lot. I've had romances come and go, with one I wish I could get out of, because this game helps you find that someone. Like I tell the people I've met on that game: It's not all about leveling, it's about the people you meet.
This song always makes me cry since it reminds me of when I finally finished CoP with several of my LS friends. So we were all watching the ending CS together. Such a pretty song. Great video.
I love this song, and the video was nice and pretty but the video doesn't apply to the actual Bard storyline at all =P
********Spoilers********
The song on the runes in Buburimu and Valkurm were songs about how the Queen of San d'Oria fell in love with a Hume minstrel and they couldn't be together (for obvious reasons).
They have a pair of rings made to proclaim their love for each other and promise to be together in the next life.
that was an awesome video Tatcat, im on Pandemonium as well. My name is Chump on there, ive made a video as well but of my characters life, if u wanna take a look at it, or perhaps look for people u know in my video feel free ^^ its "Chumps story" and this video was very well put togther by the way =P it has touched me, i give you a 5
oh VERY nice. I really like it, i didnt expect to but you know? It was really well done and brought tears to my eyes. Where did you get this version of the song/ my mp3 doesnt have some ofthe verses that yours does...
I wonder if I will ever be able to listen to this song without crying
