Sultana Dreaming (Ul'dah Night Theme) - FFXIV: A Realm Reborn | Fingerstyle Guitar

This has been a long time coming. The night theme in Ul'dah, "Sultana Dreaming", was the first FFXIV track that I fell in love with.

Many years ago, when the current expansion was still Heavensward, I tried out FFXIV's free trial. And while I didn't stick with the game back then (I only just started over last year), this theme left a lasting impression on me. Even though I spent more time in other zones, it was the music of Ul'dah that made me realize this game had different daytime and night time themes for certain areas. I was blown away at how very different the day and night themes felt in Ul'dah despite sharing the same melody.

I heard the daytime theme first (A New Hope), but that didn't take away from the night theme at all. Sultana Dreaming really set itself apart for me, it didn't feel like "just a different version/arrangement" of A New Hope. To me, both themes felt like individual compositions built from the ground up - just that they were based on the same melody. THAT's how different these two themes felt for me.

Anyway, here's my take on Sultana Dreaming. Hope you like it! 😁 I took some inspiration from @GuitarSVD's arrangement of this theme. You can watch his wonderful take on it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmR9BZ5_C_c

P.S. I realize my tempo and timing could use some work 😐 Somehow, it's harder for me to keep track of the rhythm when a song is slow and has long pauses - like this one.
