Hello everyone, this is Voltenyne from the Community team!

It’s the fourth week of our lyrical journey through the theme songs of each expansion as we prepare ourselves for Endwalker.

This time, we present the lyrics for “Shadowbringers” and “Tomorrow and Tomorrow” from our third expansion, Shadowbringers!

FINAL FANTASY XIV: SHADOWBRINGERS Full Trailer

Shadowbringers

For whom weeps the storm,
Her tears on our skin
The days of our years gone,
Our souls soaked in sin
These memories ache with the weight of tomorrow

Who fights?
Who flies?
Who falls?

One brings shadow, one brings light
Two-toned echoes tumbling through time
Threescore wasted, ten cast aside
Four-fold knowing, no end in sight
One brings shadow, one brings light
One dark future no one survives
On their shadows, away we fly

The road that we walk
Is lost in the flood
Here proud angels bathe in
Their wages of blood
At this, the world’s end, do we cast off tomorrow

One brings shadow, one brings light
To this riddle all souls are tied
Brief our moments, brazen and bright
Forged in fury, tempered in ice
Hindmost devils, early to rise
Sing come twilight, sleep when they die
Heaven’s banquet leavened with lies
Sating honor, envy, and pride
One brings shadow, one brings light
Run from the light

Authors of our fates
Orchestrate our fall from grace
Poorest players on the stage
Our defiance drives us straight to the edge
A reflection in the glass
Recollections of our past
Swift as darkness, cold as ash
Far beyond this dream of paradise lost
　
Home
Riding home
Dying hope
Hold onto hope… Ohhh…
Home
Riding home
Home, riding home
Hope, finding hope… Ohhh…

One brings shadow, one brings light
One more chapter we’ve yet to write
Want for nothing, nothing denied
Wand’ring ended, futures aligned
One brings shadow, one brings light
One brings shadow, one brings light
You are the light

We fall
We fall
We fall
We fall unto the end

One world’s end

Our world’s end

Our end

We won’t end

I am shadow, I am the light

FINAL FANTASY XIV – Tomorrow and Tomorrow

Tomorrow and Tomorrow

For whom weeps the storm
Her tears on our skin
The days of our years gone
Our souls soaked in sin
These memories ache with the weight of tomorrow

Who fights?
Who flies?
Who falls?

Stand tall, my friend
May all of the dark lost inside you find light again
In time tumbling, turning we seek amends
Eternal winds to the land descend
Our journey will never end

From those who’ve fallen to those who rise
A prayer to keep us ever by your side
An undying promise that we just might
Carry on in a song

Pray don’t forget us, your bygone kin
With one world’s end does a new begin
And should our souls scatter unto the wind
Still we shall live on

Stand tall, my friend
May all of the dark deep inside you find light again
This time, tumbling, turning we make amends
Eternal winds from the land ascend
Here to lift us that we won’t end

Greetings everyone!

Zhexos from the Community team here.

Hope you all are enjoying this year’s Moonfire Faire, which features a cool polar bear mount, some frosty Costa del Hielo, and other goodies. The Moonfire Faire ends on Thursday, 26 August at 14:59 (GMT) so if you haven’t already taken part in this year’s summer event, make sure to check it out before it ends!

If you’re trying to overcome the heat of summer in real life, be sure to stay cool and keep yourself hydrated! It gets so hot here that sometimes I feel like I’m experiencing another Calamity.

Speaking of the Calamity, this year’s Rising event marks our eighth anniversary of the launch of A Realm Reborn! As a famous character once said (?) “Such celebration… This was my intention!” Let’s dive into it!

Event Period
Friday, 27 August at 7:00 to Thursday, 9 September at 14:59 (GMT)

How to Participate
Speak with Kipih Jakkya at Ul’dah – Steps of Nald (X:10.0, Y:8.7) to begin.

Quest: Rising Calm
Kipih Jakkya is looking around in consternation.

Event Items
Red Moon Parasol

An Eastern-style umbrella adorned with a very familiar icon! This one is simply awesome, and I’d gladly use it in the rain (if it ever rains here in California…).

Nymeia Potpourri

Here we have a new fireworks item! The static image doesn’t do these amazing firework effects justice, but trust me, the visuals are delightful! I’ll probably end up purchasing at least 2-3 stacks of them to use in the future. I still have all the stacks of Realm Reborn Red from seven years ago. Maybe they taste better aged? How much of the drink is left after you pop the top so vigorously anyway? I’ll have to test it out IRL one of these days.

Thank you all for supporting FINAL FANTASY XIV for all these years and hopefully many more to come.

I’ll see you all in-game to celebrate the anniversary!
