I've seen The Songbirds cover Coldplay, Europe, and Linkin Park, and they keep an expansive set list available on the internet for anyone interested in making special requests. They christened themselves The Songbirds, borrowing the same name given to a trio of NPC troubadours, and started translating their favorite pop songs into the musical language of an MMO. " in its limitations, merits, and really, just how far it could be pushed," says Ambree. If they could master the intricacies of the instruments - if they melded all of those MIDI tones together - perhaps they could achieve a rarefied notoriety in Final Fantasy XIV without any raiding, PvP, or auction house bartering. The world was their oyster.īoth Ambree and Miqo were fascinated by the idea of starting a band using these new tools. Instead of dungeoneering or martial combat, you could now spend your days in Hydaelyn fingerpicking the "Stairway to Heaven" guitar solo. (You don't ever feel like you've fallen hopelessly behind the curve in Final Fantasy 14, even after taking a week-long break.) Perhaps the best example of that philosophy came in 2018, when Square introduced a performance mechanic to the bard class, letting players cue up a simple, 37-note scale for their in-game instruments. There is a liberty in Square's modern classic that allows the community to play however they'd like without fearing any punishing throttles on their progress. Both of them are MMORPG veterans - they've played everything from Runescape to Eve Online - and fell in love with Final Fantasy XIV because of the ingenious ways Square Enix purged the onerous grind out of the genre.
The Songbirds formed in 2018, and at its core, the band is a partnership between Ambree and MewsicalMiqo. "Seeing our emotes being used in others' chats, seeing someone wear one of our T-shirts during a stream, or having other famous folks turn up at one of our concerts. "It’s a surreal experience seeing our name out there," says Raven Ambree, a Canadian who serves as The Songbirds manager, and asks to be quoted by his in-game name.
