Final Fantasy XI: Rise of the Zilart - The Sanctuary of Zi'tah - Extended

UPDATE: Sorry about the wait! Real-life stuff has unfortunately gotten the better of me for a while, so I wasn't able to upload. Anyway, let's begin!

Ohohohoho! Get ready for the raid! Hello, esteemed viewer, and welcome to AET2.001k. What's that mean? Why, Amateur Extension Theater 2001, of course! Bleh. It's a working title, alright?

Here it comes: Yet ANOTHER extension from a Square Enix/Squaresoft game. Don't worry, don't worry, variety will come soon. How soon? Unknown! That's the beauty of vague words!

Final Fantasy XI, released in Japan in May of 2002, was Square Enix's first foray into the realm of MMOs. Final Fantasy-based ones, anyway. When it was released, it was an instant hit. However, it got old due to Final Fantasy XIV being better quality, and while PC servers are still up (but empty, as one would expect), PS2 and Xbox 360 servers are down for the count.

This track, titled the Sanctuary of Zi'tah from composer Naoshi Mizuta, is a calming, yet moody little tune that I sadly have not been able to find extensions of. So here it is! Originating from the FFXI expansion titled Rise of the Zilart, released in 2003 for NA and JP and for Europe in 2004 (man, Europe was left out on the action even before Fire Emblem 14, huh?) the Sanctuary of Zi'tah is, from what I can tell, from an area of the same name. It featured some mid-level monsters ranging from levels 25-40, and some big baddies ranging up to level 70. Needless to say, this was not the tutorial area.

The slow, careful-yet-carefree sound of the music is the most enticing part; this track blends many ideas and emotions together into one harmonious melody.

Well, I guess that's all for now, folks! Next up may or may not be a Square Enix track from a fairly well-known game, and possibly some Fantasy Life, so stay tuned, and God bless.
