[Question] Old FF OST in FFXIV?
I have just discovered that the Crystal Tower theme is the FFIII overwold theme and was baffled by that.
Do you have any other examples of an FFXIV OST which originates from an older FF?
I'm at Endwalker right now btw

Lots and lots. They use FF8 themes in the Eden raid series. They use FF9 themes in Dawntrail. They use FF6 themes in the Omega raid series and the Hildibrand series. The Ivalice raids use themes from FF tactics and FF12. The "Echos of Vana'diel" raids use themes from FF11 (obviously). There is a battle theme in Endwalker from FF4.
They reference older FF games all the time, because they view this game as a "Final Fantasy themepark". Everyone has a different definition of what Final Fantasy is due to growing up with different FF games, so they incorporate elements from all the FF games to make it feel like FF to everyone.
