The song is about the daughter praying to Sophia for guidance. Her father died in the Allaghan's war against the Meracydian people that worshiped Sophia.
After her father's death, her mother became distant and abusive to the daughter.

'A memory fading fast.
Her mother sits, eyes downcast.
A torn uniform in hand, farewells unsaid.'

Injured and hopeless, she prays to her goddess for aid.

'That once a certainty, lost in grief
A daughter's desperate cries, unheard pleas
Forsaken, beaten, tried, on her knees
A prayer passes from her lips
Into her soul, the Goddess whispers'

Sophia's tells her to kill her mother.

'A heartbeat without harmony
Is moonlight without dark
The heart seeketh equilibrium
With balance will your worry part'

Still distraught, now over both her parents deaths. Sophia commands her to leap from the cliffs near their oceanside home and commit suicide.

'So still this broken melody
And therewith shoulder thee
One last step only leaving
An empty hearth down by the sea
An empty hearth down by the sea'

Sophia as a goddess is obsessed with 'balance'. The girl's mother was unbalanced by her husband's death. So Sophia commanded she die.

The daughter was then unbalanced by both of her parents deaths. So Sophia told her to commit suicide to restore balance.

Literally.

It's not mentioned anywhere in-game, it's in the first Encyclopædia Eorzea book when this phenomenon is mentioned.

Though it's honestly debatable just how much that ties into the aether unbalancing we know now lmao. It was just too good to not mention.

I like to remind everyone here that so far, everything Asmon is doing is STILL under the free trial, including the Extreme versions of the Warring Triad. Have fun all!

@ad-zh5ot

This is pretty insane actually

@georgesr8979

Haha I finished the free trial (Heavensward) and immediately purchased the game because I felt bad for enjoying so much this game for free haha

@Zenith118

Not 100% accurate. You can't join FCs, start parties, and have to wait for login queues to clear before you can log in.

@dazzlemasseur

@@Zenith118 we all know this already.
But as others have said, purchase the game if you're sick of what you're getting for free.

@Zenith118

@@dazzlemasseur I already have the game and have prepurchased Endwalker, I just dont want new players seeing this and then being disappointed or confused.

the music for Sophia's second phase is actually a song about a daughter of a grieving woman whose husband was killed during the Allagan war in Meracydia. the daughter wanted her mother to be happy, prayed to Sophia and told the daughter to kill the mother so "there will be equilibrium". then the daughter is now alone, she asks what is to be done, then Sophia tells her to jump off the cliff near her home, "thus bring equilibrium"

I love the bgms of this game.

Also remember this subquest. DEFINITELY REMEMBER this subquest

@luechang9436

You got most of that right but you missed the part where the mother became abusive which caused the daughter to pray to Sophia. The goddess then said to kill her mother and for the abuse then herself because she killed her mother and is alone.

Final Fantasy XIV sound director Masayoshi Soken, with some help from legendary Final Fantasy series composer Nobuo Uematsu, and, later, a little bit of contribution from NieR, NieR:Automata, and Drakengard 3 composer Keiichi Okabe and his colleagues at Okabe's music production studio MONACA, with an echo back to pre-Okabe scored Drakengard - yes, this game has a lot of mighty fine music. Uematsu and MONACA's game music was used in the Tokyo Olympics this year - and it is also used in FFXIV.

@Smothtiger

Don't forget that Koji Fox are the one that writes the lyrics for the majority, if not all of the songs in FF XIV. The stuff he comes up with are stuff of legends.
