Bran Bal is the village where the Genomes live on the planet of Terra. This is the birthplace of all Genomes and is continually bathed in blue light from Gaia's crystal.

love how this connects to Terra's theme creating a single piece that truly embodies the emotional character of the title
Don't forget to set the Moogle free for the shop and Mognet quest.

you could literally interject this track into FFXI or FFXIV and nobody would know otherwise..! though feels more at home with FFXI

Speaking of soulless it reminded me of Welgaia from tales of symphonia, similar vibes

For someone like me who has played FF9 before, I can't remember this song at all or even visit the play before?

1:45 Zidane "Genomes? Is that what they're called?" Girl "Not just them, but you and me, too." "It is the name of the seed given to all of us. Its name is Genome." Isn't that kind of redundant? Can't you just be called Terrans? Because that's what you are, bodily reconstructions of the people on Terra that haven't gotten souls from the crystal due to the state that it is in. Zidane "Talk about a let-down. Who would've guessed that the home I've yearned for would be a dump like this." "No wonder I never found it. It's not even on Gaia!" Wow, real great read there, Zidane. Can't you at least try to be a bit more dramatic and monumental about all this? Girl "Why are you not happy? You have returned to the place of your birth." Zidane "Happy? You guys can process that emotion?" "Look at 'em! Look at all their blank faces!" Girl "What can we do? After all, we are made that way." "And we are built to watch over each other and work together as soulless Genomes." You could have made this dialogue clearer and simply stated that none of them had gotten a soul from the crystal due to current circumstances. Zidane "What's it all for!? Get to the point already!" "How come I grew up on Gaia if I was born here!?" "I'm alive! I have a soul! Why is everyone here so..." Girl "Because you are...special." Zidane "What!?" Girl "We are mere vessels. You have been given a greater purpose." Later it will be revealed that Mikoto is special too (which goes nowhere), so her including herself with the other soulless genomes in this dialogue here is weird.

Definitely one of my least favorite places in the game, but the music is nice.

2:20 Girl "There is a way." "See? You may find him through the portal." "He awaits where the souls sleep. The floating castle, where souls bide their time until their restoration... Pandemonium." "A castle where souls wait in the wings, called the RESORT OF ALL DEMONS." I can't tell if the writers were trying to be ironic, or just reusing the name of the final dungeon in FFII (Even reusing the music theme for that level, but slowed down. Granted, the music for that area is one of the better tracks in IX) to make another cheap reference. Also shouldn't the Terra souls actually be sleeping within the red crystal itself, instead of Pandemonium? Girl "Will you not say farewell to your friends?" Zidane "I don't care what I am... I was born here, wasn't I?" "If so, then I am an enemy of the people of Gaia." Girl "You learn quickly." Zidane "Make no mistake. I won't join your side." Dude, enough of this "us or them" mentality. Zidane "I just... If we are actually relatives, then..." "Then I want to take care of this little family matter myself." [Zidane steps into the portal, teleporting away] And that's it for the ATEs. As stated before, the idea with them is great, the problem is just that the local characters suck, and the scenes with their participation are extremely empty and need to be rewritten in a remake. Thankfully, they can at least be ignored and skipped. Girl "Heaven grant the wandering souls eternal respose..." And again, indistinct, irrelevant pretentious shit for the sake of a red word. "Heaven". Gosh darn it, simply unbearable.

1:45 Girl "Garland watches over this planet. His mission is to restore the people of Terra." Zidane "R-Restore the people of Terra? You mean people besides these guys here?" The Genomes ARE the Terrans, reconstructions of them anyways. Girl "They are merely vessels. So am I, and so are you." Well, actually no, because you and Zidane already have Terra souls. At least try and be consistent, game. Girl "But the true people of Terra have been asleep for ages, waiting for their time to come." Just say that the souls have been stuck and the crystal is in bad shape, stop causing confusion with this poorly worded dialogue. Girl "When the time is right, the light of this planet will change from blue to red, and Gaia will become Terra." Zidane "Wait a sec! So the people of Terra are out to take over Gaia!?" Girl "What else can there be? Terra has always absorbed new planets to survive." Except that, according to the Ultimania, those planets all didn't have crystals, and thus, no life on them. Gaia was just a desperate risky attempt, and regardless, I would have preferred it if the writers just completely removed that whole "fusing with previous other planets" detail and making Gaia the only one, and added more depth to it. Heck, the game doesn't even explain what caused Terra to be in the state that it is in, going back to what I said at Oeilvert and the cheap world building and lore in general. Girl "And when the time comes, the souls of the people of Terra will occupy the Genomes. Such is the restoration of the people of Terra." That line should be "RETURN to the Genomes", not "occupy", are the writers even paying attention to their own set up of the crystals and lifestream? Zidane "Why do they have to be so tedious!?" "Why don't they just wipe us out with magic like they did Alexandria!?" Wow, way to demonize the entirety of the populace of Terra, Zidane. (And it's only going to get worse from here) Girl "Once, Garland tried to use a more forceful method, but failed." The prehistory is presented in some stupid fragments, from which it is impossible to compose a coherent picture. When? What method? Why didn't it work? I guess she could be referring to the failed fusion of Gaia and Terra millennia ago that caused Terra to be shifted to inside of Gaia. Zidane "Then he should just quit and leave Gaia alone!" Girl "Because of his failure, he was forced to wait a long time." "...To wait until Gaia's civilizations gained tremendous power: The power to use eidolons." What? Why? I thought Garland saw the Eidolons as a threat? Zidane "So that's why you attacked the summoner's village and destroyed Alexandria." Uh no, that doesn't explain anything Zidane, what Mikoto just said implied the opposite of that. Was something lost in translation? Girl "Planets have a cycle of souls. Souls are born from the planet, and then return to it." "Garland planned to gain control of that very cycle..." "...and you were supposed to help him achieve that." As I've stated several times, this is the lifestream like with FFVII, and is all based on the "Gaia Hypothesis", which I believe, look it up. Gaia and Terra are consciousnesses. But for some reason the Crystals aren't being mentioned here despite being the keystones of the whole thing. (Will be getting to that at the Memoria segment)
