The lyrics are amazing, especially towards the end.

"Without a compass, wand'ring lost in lies of faith"
"Only alive in fighting Death's amber embrace"
"On hands and knees, we pray to gods we've never seen"
"The final hour upon us, no more time to breathe"

Always gives me the chills. It's even better when you have context for everything, and the singer is really good. He wrote this song from a hospital bed.

FFXIV has some damn good songs, and I still think this is probably the single best one in the game if we're talking strictly lyrical songs.

Yeah, To the Edge is absolutely fucking GOATed, tbh. The fact that Soken made that in a fucking hospital, while undergoing cancer treatment in solitude, with no emotional/mental support, as well is just...goddamn.

Likely explains some of the lyrics and the passion you can tell he put behind them.

Yup.He didn't want the team who was already behind due to COVID-19 in full force (this was early-ish 2020), to become demotivated or find more difficulty in their work, so he decided to just....not tell them what he was having to deal with (other than the people that he had to for obvious reasons like his boss & HR).

Here's the video that talks about it.
