Same here... this song even still makes me cry... Why must SEGA leave us off there...? Oh yeah, that's right, they basically did this before, in base PSO2 Episode 1's ending... a sad song sang out of grief for one who died... that continues into the ending credits... I'm a sucker for emotional pain upon myself... I know a song will make me cry, as I know the context from the story for the song's lyrics... but yet, come back to it despite it will hurt me emotionally... I already live with emotional pain every day over regrets, as well as grief for someone I cared about having her life lost to end her suffering... I don't need this emotional pain from sad songs like "The Song of Mourning" from NGS, as well as "Nightglow" from Honkai Impact 3rd's cutscene of "Final Lesson"... what the heck is wrong with me...? Seeking sad music when I'm already suffering... I'm a firm follower of "logic" and "reasonable thinking", and listening to sad songs when I'm already in emotional pain every day, is not reasonable to do, nor a logical move to make... Sometimes I don't even know myself... Sorry I trailed off there... I had to explain my suffering effectively, which led me to ramble about it.. I'm sorry...
@@zigazav1 this is indeed on Eternal Encore tier, that one basically seal my loyalty to PSO2 that 10 years ago. no MMORPG hook me like PSO2 did with that moment. Manon story is even more sad/horror to the point that it awakens her humanity even if she initially a emotionless clone design to observe the experiment.
I just feel like the way Manon's VA sings this fits the tone of the song a bit better tbh, though it also helps that this whole chapter actually pushed me to actually start to like Manon as a character She was definitely a bit on the boring side as a character but giving her an actual motivation and being the first one to take initiative with Leciel was also a great push
I feel like they tried to make the Nadereh concert version too serene and like a spectacle, instead of just being the full version of the song. Like they made the song too much of a show, and too much about the instruments, instead of being about the vocals.
Goddamn it, Zephetto. You're one hell of a crazy ass CAST. But I now understand your true intentions behind this so-called "training" of yours, so you can make us buy some more time. I've heard you want perfect ARKS, right? You haven't seen anything from us yet! Just you wait, Zeph. Until the Starless were vanquished from the universe, this "training" shall never be over in my eyes!
It may not be perfect, but this was the best way devs ended Episode 1. A "Best Girl" chapter for Manon with this song having whole lot more deeper meaning in relation to her character development in the story. A very tear jerking moment ruined by credit roll. 10/10 conflicted to skip just to listen to the song. Well Played, SEGA.
This song is perfect for a duet, and I could easily place where both voice actresses lines would ve separate, and where they'd come together in harmony. Would've been a great concert Remix type deal as well.
@MrAnarchyMarine Hey I was just thinking. Would you like to collaborate with me on that project? It's true that I could do it on my own, but I find it better to have a co-creator every now and then so much better.
@MrAnarchyMarine Mostly like a Zoom call or something with audio screen share of what I am seeing of my PC. It's more of an efficient way to do stuff. Fortunately, I have been an editor for over 10 years so an audio only version can be made at least or even an epic music video of some kind. I mostly have to tinker with the settings to optimize it and grab a good amount of B-roll as well as record both Nadereh and Manon's vocals as well as sync the audio of both versions and stuff like that first.
Lyrics (with some errors I think) for those who are interested: Rest o weary souls no more tales to tell bid the world a farewell as it sinks into twilight right upon the wind, eternity waits for you, gently, to close your eyes as you dream of the morning light oh tortured souls, your brief unending let it's flame light the path ahead though you've nothing left nothing to protect though you walk on to your end oh noble souls your sacrifices will be told songs of love and pain till my dying days I'll sing your refrain let it echo in my veins till the day nothing but peace will remain branded in our scars, rushing through our veins is the fear and the flame and the shorting of sadness only passing time can temper the pain soothing on to the burning of will in the evening sky, one more star tonight finds it dying light burning brave as it fades down into ashes in the tears and cries lives a guiding light praise it's will to fight as we march ever onward step after step in this dire world looking on to the horizon your light shines on a beacon burning in the night showing us the way we'll be proud be true these lessons from you and our hearts clear to this day all your melody will sound so sweet in eternity echo to the skies through my voice will bring the prayers you sing for a new day to arise for a boat (?) to lead us on to the light o noble souls your sacrifices will be told, will not be in vain though we're forced to part you live in our hearts leave your wishes in our hands let your weary bones return to the land hark upon the wind, an eternal song of the blood and the pain and the fierce days of battle beckon to the earth, your bones may have gone but your souls are still burning bright may your dreams be of peace and light (?)
There's so much to take in, even with this song alone...from Manon's remembering of Nadereh's known song, to how it finds itself calling to everything that happened before, with everything done, all with the intentions of preparing for something that no-one really knew about...or even expected. And from what I can see, it's only the ending of Episode 1 to New Genesis. Things are only going to keep going from here...and there's no guarantee that anything that's been there before will be the same. I do appreciate all of this, though Zephetto being merely a story-only boss, and at the end of a long gauntlet on its own, is kind of underwhelming. I do look forward to what's up next...though I do understand that everyone in the story would anticipate less in appreciation...compared to worry and warning. TL;DR for all of this: Ending's good; hit me a little hard that this is just the ending of the first part of New Genesis's story, and Nadereh singing the Song of Mourning almost feels fitting, for this.
I'm not gonna lie, when I first heard this song in game. I cried and reminisced of my past mmorpg gaming/irl experiences. it felt like a song dedicated to my adventures in mmos and indirectly to irl. I felt like an adventurer ready to settle down and somewhat similar to frieren and how she felt after her adventures. weird ik but this song will forever hold a special place in my heart.
It's weird how inconsistent versions of this song are in terms of my opinion of them. For Nadereh, I prefer the short English version and the Japanese full version. But for Manon I prefer the English version of this.
Why do I remember this but don't at the same time, I mean it was a long while ago and it probably played during the time I was starting to fall out of ps02 NG. I'm back into it now and i can't exactly remember where i heard this lol-
They didn't have to make the song as good as it is. I'm sure we would've gotten the point and all that if it was just average. But they did make it good. And I love it
I mean given the fact that she was part of an operation that killed countless innocents for 300 years(even if she did not participate for that long) and hid the truth as more innocent were murdered (or at least that's what i assume since the anime made it very clear that Arks die often) while she was hanging out with us, one can say that she sang to honor those. Specially Garoa and those who died in Aelio Town which is the event that seems to have scarred her the most. No one may have died in the quest but many did in the way here.
@@SgtTankDempsey Just like in base PSO2 episode 1... that too ended on a note of grief of one who died, along with a song to end it off on... I cannot even imagine the suffering Manon held up inside her for this long... To avoid spoilers, as this chapter is still new, I will not directly explain it...
English Manon has a slightly smoky and mysterious voice that works so well. And this song is just a perfect JRPG ballad.
Thank you, Yakuza 8 (LAD: Infinite Wealth) for introducing me to such beautiful song

A fitting song, to end the closure of EP.1
So much sacrifice has been made, only in the name of "experiment".
Twas the Matrix and now we are unplug and ready to BECOME THE ONE.
You can't exactly blame Zephetto though he was the truest well intentioned extremist if I've ever seen one.

This song gives me chills but it's also so calming..
Hearing this after beating Zephoto. It was honestly a satisfying reward after beating the final boss of ep 1.
I couldn't agree more
Drakaina is glad they got to play this one when it came out so much more meaning
Lyrics (with some errors I think) for those who are interested:
Rest o weary souls
no more tales to tell
bid the world a farewell
as it sinks into twilight
right upon the wind, eternity waits
for you, gently, to close your eyes
as you dream of the morning light
oh tortured souls, your brief unending
let it's flame light the path ahead
though you've nothing left
nothing to protect
though you walk on to your end
oh noble souls your sacrifices will be told
songs of love and pain
till my dying days I'll sing your refrain
let it echo in my veins
till the day nothing but peace will remain
branded in our scars, rushing through our veins
is the fear and the flame and the shorting of sadness
only passing time can temper the pain
soothing on to the burning of will
in the evening sky, one more star tonight finds it dying light
burning brave as it fades down into ashes
in the tears and cries lives a guiding light
praise it's will to fight
as we march ever onward step after step in this dire world
looking on to the horizon
your light shines on
a beacon burning in the night
showing us the way
we'll be proud be true
these lessons from you
and our hearts clear to this day
all your melody will sound so sweet in eternity
echo to the skies
through my voice will bring the prayers you sing
for a new day to arise
for a boat (?) to lead us on to the light
o noble souls
your sacrifices will be told, will not be in vain
though we're forced to part
you live in our hearts
leave your wishes in our hands
let your weary bones return to the land
hark upon the wind, an eternal song
of the blood and the pain and the fierce days of battle
beckon to the earth, your bones may have gone
but your souls are still burning bright
may your dreams be of peace and light (?)
A bunch of errors, yes.. I think the Nadereh version has the lyrics in full.
Guys.... this is a omage of first PSO ending theme.
Man, this was so emotional, and then "Game Developmen" popped up. A certified Sega quality moment.
So happy to find this...this is the first time I have heard the whole song

idk I enjoyed the Zephetto fight
The Feels Cannot wait for the Next ep of NGS
I'm not resting in peace until this is played/sung on my funeral
This is why Manon is the best Girl in NGS
Nadereh's is great, but Manon's version hits like Eternal Encore did in original PSO2 after a certain event.
I'm not gonna lie, when I first heard this song in game. I cried and reminisced of my past mmorpg gaming/irl experiences. it felt like a song dedicated to my adventures in mmos and indirectly to irl. I felt like an adventurer ready to settle down and somewhat similar to frieren and how she felt after her adventures.
weird ik but this song will forever hold a special place in my heart.
This is true song to play with your family members passed away when Manon's singing this sad song wish then rip
Nadereh's voice is beautiful including Manon's there both really good. ❤
nadereh on verses manon for the end and the chorus duet. perfect version
英語版も素敵ですね。
それな
これ聴いて英語版の方も好きになっちゃった
I fucking cried tho
I'm still wondering if there's any survivor of the Oracle fleet.
It's weird how inconsistent versions of this song are in terms of my opinion of them. For Nadereh, I prefer the short English version and the Japanese full version. But for Manon I prefer the English version of this.
The beginning reminds me of Aimo from Macross Frontier.
That's my sister!!!!!!!
The Story Quest Continues In Chapter 6
this version better
Why do I remember this but don't at the same time, I mean it was a long while ago and it probably played during the time I was starting to fall out of ps02 NG. I'm back into it now and i can't exactly remember where i heard this lol-
Nadereh concerts, that happen sometimes. And also Nadereh sings a short version of it in the Retem story as well.
They didn't have to make the song as good as it is. I'm sure we would've gotten the point and all that if it was just average. But they did make it good. And I love it
What about the Japanese Japanese vtuber when she was in PSO2NGS? Before version 2
Is this song in honor of a death?
No one died.
Its the finale song to EP1
I mean given the fact that she was part of an operation that killed countless innocents for 300 years(even if she did not participate for that long) and hid the truth as more innocent were murdered (or at least that's what i assume since the anime made it very clear that Arks die often) while she was hanging out with us, one can say that she sang to honor those.
Specially Garoa and those who died in Aelio Town which is the event that seems to have scarred her the most. No one may have died in the quest but many did in the way here.

peaceful time made them weak 😔😔
We still don't know whether it was the entire fleet or newer, separate fleet. 500 years after EP7 with just single fleet which is just... weird?
