Rise of the White Raven

"Rise of the White Raven" is the final boss theme of Final Fantasy XIV. It was composed by Masayoshi Soken.

Final Fantasy XIV
As mentioned, "Rise of the White Raven" is the final boss theme of the game, played once the player character and his or her party enters the second stage of the final battle with main antagonist Nael van Darnus, who has now transformed into Nael Deus Darnus after taking in too much of Dalamud's power.

The piece begins set in C minor, featuring a heavy amount of strings, vocals, and a harp solo in its opening. The ethereal mood evoked by the choral notes and the harp solo could possibly represent Nael's loss of sanity and his rise to full power due to Dalamud boosting his power. The piece then transitions into a brass fanfare of short, crisp notes. This is followed by a tenor solo with a clear voice, which is, in turn, followed by a tenor solo with a slightly-distorted voice as the piece changes to D minor, then E-flat minor. After another brass fanfare in D minor, a duet between a soprano voice and a tenor voice is featured, and it continues as the piece changes to B-flat minor before ending in F major before the piece loops back to the start. All vocals are featured in Latin.
