"Heroes Forge Ahead" is a call to adventure, at least for me. This song from Final Fantasy XIV's fourth expansion, Endwalker, often plays in moments during the game's story where the player and their NPC companions discuss or act on daring plans of action.

I like to listen to it when I'm preparing for important work, or to put myself into a positive mindset when walking into a major life change. It's a great song to have rolling around in your head when venturing into personal unknowns, and one of my favorites that have come from Final Fantasy XIV composer and sound editor Masayoshi Soken.

May you ever walk in the light of the crystal.
