Why Those Bagpipes In The New Firmament Theme Are Some Of The Coolest World Building In...

With Tonberry having completed phase 2 of the Firmament, they get a really cute track that plays now to celebrate the occasion. It's reminiscent of the Amaro theme, with the mix emphasizing an acoustic guitar and the leifmotif of their expansion being played on a piano. They're both themes celebrating a big player achievement. For the firmament though, it's also implying a lore achievement.

What really draws the ears for the new firmament theme are those bagpipes.

Bagpipes, as far as I'm aware, are only used in two tracks throughout Heavensward. Paradise Found and Coming Home

I don't know if there's supposed to be any implications with sharing bagpipes with the Vanu Vanu beastribe since i skipped the cutscenes , but Idylshire was a town founded on two different peoples (Gobs and treasure hunters) coming to terms with each other to coexist. Setting aside Coming Home, which might very well fit into the theme of setting aside differences to coexist, they're making you think of Idylshire and it's idyllic take on coexistence with the bagpipes.

This compounded with a really adorable questline you get after completing Phase 2 give closure to the 3.x storyline and illustrate a nation moving on from their wartime prejudices.

I Really Hope this replaces the default day housing theme.
