10 Best End Credits Songs In Video Games

10. Answers (Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn)

Yep, that previous sentence was an unashamedly cheesy lead-in to this entry. But given the song, "unashamedly cheesy" feels like the appropriate tone to aim for.

"Answers" is many things. Bombastic, melodramatic, overwrought and filled with lines like "Our souls have been torn and our bodies forsaken", it is a monument to extravagance and excess in songwriting.

It's also *clears throat*, absolutely f***ing brilliant.

Sometimes, you just want a song that pushes everything up to 11. No shame, no restraint, no "ooh, this may be a bit much". "Answers" fills that need perfectly - an aural tour de force that will take you on a journey from "This is ridiculous" to "This is AWESOME!" across its seven minute run-time. (Yes, the 5-minute video above is actually a shortened version of the song. Like we said - "extravagance and excess").

Favourite lyric - Now open your eyes while our plight is repeated / Still deaf to our cries, lost in hope we lie defeated. A sentiment many a football fan can relate to.
