Could this be the beginning of a monthly upload schedule?! Maybe, we'll see where life ends up taking me. But hey, it's progress ain't it!

A friend of mine had the idea of combining Answers with Close in the Distance, and I thought I might as well give it a shot, since both of these songs thematically fit very well with each other. After playing Endwalker, the messages of Answers and Close in The Distance became a lot more clear, with Answers talking about Hydaelyn/Venat's sacrifice, and Close in the Distance sort of being the resolution to her, and your entire arc with her. This blending of messages we thought would honestly be perfect as the conclusion to a several year-long arc, and I don't think there could be a better sendoff.

I immediately wanted to do a more retro synth cover of this because I mean hey, it's in space and all and space is pretty synth-y in nature. I dunno, when I think space I just kinda think synth space opera in terms of soundtrack y'know?

I actually tried including the distorted version of Ultima Thule's theme that you hear when you first enter the area, and the Answers melody was partly inspired by the 1.0 version of it when everything goes to hell, which thematically seemed honestly pretty fitting. That same friend also drew the cover art for the video you see, please absolutely go check out more of her work! Her twitter's linked in the description! If you look closer at the cover art, ya might notice a few little details here and there...
