The Final Day (theme)

"The Final Day" is a final boss theme in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, composed by Masayoshi Soken and arranged by Yoshitaka Suzuki.
It is a medley of the final boss themes in Final Fantasy XIV up to the Shadowbringers expansion: "The Worm's Tail", "Ultima", "Heroes", and "Invincible". It also contains the melody of the "Final Fantasy" main theme.
==Lyrics==
Like "Ultima", "Heroes", "The Worm's Tail", and "Invincible", random sounds that resemble vocals were generated to create the music. The exception was the parts with "Ultima" and "Heroes". It was given actual lyrics for the Final Fantasy XIV Orchestra Concert 2022 -Eorzean Symphony-. The official lyrics were released on the Eorzean Symphony: Final Fantasy XIV Orchestral Album Vol.3.
