Masayoshi Soken really outdid himself with the soundtrack for the Shadowbringers expansion, particularly when players finally descend into the silent, pressurized depths of the Tempest. This is where Neath Dark Waters makes its debut, serving as a haunting backdrop for the remnants of a lost civilization frozen in time. The track has cemented its legacy as a fan favorite because it perfectly captures a sense of tragic grandeur through its steady, ticking percussion and ethereal piano layers. It is the kind of music that stays with you long after the quest log is cleared, carrying a weight of ancient sorrow that feels both intimate and massive. Bringing this arrangement to a Roblox piano setup is a natural choice because the core melody relies so heavily on that signature, lounge-style piano progression. Players will find that the tempo remains fairly relaxed and methodical, allowing for a focus on delicate phrasing and rhythmic consistency rather than raw speed. It offers a fantastic opportunity to practice sustain and timing, as the piece breathes through its intentional pauses and mellow jazz influences. Whether performing for a crowd or just hanging out in a private server, this sheet provides that moody, cinematic atmosphere that defines the most emotional moments of the Final Fantasy XIV experience.
