The lyrics seem to be an English translation of Gustav Mahler's 8th Symphony "Come, creative Spirit... Visit the minds of Your followers. Fill with celestial grace Those hearts which you've created. Strength'ning with staunch vigor The weaknesses of our body, Kindle a light in our senses, Infuse love in our hearts. Infuse love in our hearts. Strength'ning with staunch vigor The weaknesses of our body, Kindle a light in our senses, Infuse love in our hearts. Infuse love in our hearts. Drive away the enemy far from us And give us everlasting peace Thus with You as leader going before, Let us avoid every disaster"
This music is absolutely godly. I never had the opportunity to play the legend of heroes series...however, I know the OSTs by heart because Ive listened too much. The music is too good and I get immersed instantly in my own imagination and creativity... Thank you Falcom jdk for your work.
Me too Most of falcom 's boss theme are mood booster for me (hearing too many of their songs while driving) and i wish one day i get a chance to play whole Legend of heroes
cant. get. enough. of. this. such a wonderful arrangement. the vocals, the wailing riffs, the awesome melody lines and progression, it just shines as a climactic melodic journey of good versus evil. and I love it so much. hats off to these dudes and gals who made this song possible.
The music made me be able to get through the games overs from playing in Nightmare on the first playthrough. And at first yeah, it was a real nightmare lol.
I beat ari on hard, i can't imagine how it is on nightmare. She took me i remember 36 tries to beat in the course of 3 hours, and kea took me 40 minutes of spending all like... 20 of my ex orbs, the ones that give you turns. I was stockpiling them through the course of ao to use them in the final boss.
The third game of this arc is also amazing (Trails Into Reverie, which is for 90% in crossbell with the entire SSS gang and NO ONE IS A GUEST CHARACTER ANYMORE F**** YEAH)
Outstanding arrangement, a true masterpiece. Amazing to see how many composers and performers it took only for this one track. Absolutely love the guitar solos alternating here.
@@ztune3945 This one is arranged by Okajima, Jindo arranged the intro. It also has additional guitars by Miyazaki and Hiramatsu. And Shun Kobayashi as an additional tenor, thus making the arrangement slightly different.
The most stress inducing boss fight i have fought in a while. Really cool fight thou. And of course this song is bloody amazing too.the metal guitar and shit is wonderful. This is a very good song to end the crossbell games on as it feels like it embodies the spirit of the entire ost.
5:32 Love that guitar solo and the transition to the vocal part after it. Especially how it picks up on intensity more and more, culminating in an impressive opera esque segment. The definitive version of Azure Arbitrator if you'd ask me.
@@arczeum7921 No offense, but that's just not true. The Evo version accentuates the guitar in the mix much stronger giving the guitar solo much more room to breath (in the original there is a thicker layer of a synth orchestra over the guitar solo instead which I don't particularly like as it weakens the guitars impact) and they actually have real drums here whereas the original version uses synth drums. Especially the finale of the song has a really nice drumming part that just doesn't have the same intensity in the original composition. In general the Evo version is much cleaner/natural sounding.
@@DesMondesBlut and that's where the problem lies for me. I hate the guitar here in the Evolution version, because it is too extra, whereas in the original, the constraint on the guitar makes it feel more impactful for me as other instruments and synths get room to jam out and contribute. Also I absolutely despise the nonsensical guitar solo in the middle of this song.
I personally prefer the original track so I don’t mind it to much. But it would be cool to still hear it, maybe on like a face two of the last battle or something.
Between him and Mitsuo Singa.. Yukihiro Jindo (despite not being part of the Falcom Sound Team JDK) is ONE of the BETTER arranger. He tends to work with OLDER members of the JDK Band. He had better works, especially in YsIX
Between Ernst, the OG Azure Arbitrator, the Zero and Cold Steel 1 Super Arranges, and more, Jindo is an absolute king when it come to arranging Falcom's music.
@@MaskedKingDavid Yeah, in all honesty I think Singa is better suited to creating new tracks than arranging currently existing tracks (Obstructive Existence from SC was... Something.)
@@MaskedKingDavid The dude was here back in sky era man. Hollow Light of the Sealed Land (Sky FC; Wataru Ishibashi) was arranged by him. Honestly his experience is enough to categorize him as a JDK member at this point lol
Jindo has been around since 2003 (credited in Ys 6) Singa roughly 2015 (Think he worked on tokyo Xanadu...) Ther is a reason why Singa isn't as good as Jindo. Of course might also be because jindo specializes in orchestral pieces whereas Singa EDM...
its a updated remake for the PSVita, since the original was released in 2012 on the PSP and obviously support for the console was dropped. Think of it as a transition from PS2 to PS3.
@@DesMondesBlut it begins at 3:34 and I hate that guitar solo, too. I think the best version of Azure Arbitrator, besides the original, would be the Azure Arbitrator LIVE version. That one has a better guitar solo, and that's coming from someone who hates guitar solos.
I like the intro of the song they did an amazing voice with the choir, the first part up to 3:34 is great, but then they completly lost me, past 3:34 up to the repeat I think it sucks and feel totally out of place.
That's like... the best part of the whole thing for me. My jaded metalhead self can't comprehend how people dislike chunky aggressive riffing and quality shredding.
@@zmapp4732 Uhh, mostly because it feels out of place (the problem with a lot of EVO track to me). Like, it sounds good, can’t deny that, it just isn’t fit the atmosphere of the track well.... The guitar in the original compliments well to the choir to create a sense of epicness and follow the general motif of the track. This part in this ver has like a completely different melody, disconnecting it from the rest of the track, especially the choir before and after that it supposed to compliment, and its extended length overwhelms other instruments, especially the choir, makes it more “hype” than necessary.
I think this is actually a really good evo version, the only sucky part is that they removed that guitar solo at the end. Also the part at 3:35 is kind of weird, I didn't like it at first but now I think it's weird in a good way. The original felt quite triumphant there but this one subverts your expectation, like you _really_ don't know what you're in for.

Good god, you did a non-NG+ run of this game on Nightmare? I had trouble enough with this boss on a NG+ Hard run...
Best Final Boss theme for the Best Arc
SSS best group
Nah.
For the best in the series overall you mean :)
The third game of this arc is also amazing (Trails Into Reverie, which is for 90% in crossbell with the entire SSS gang and NO ONE IS A GUEST CHARACTER ANYMORE F**** YEAH)
Outstanding arrangement, a true masterpiece. Amazing to see how many composers and performers it took only for this one track. Absolutely love the guitar solos alternating here.
The original was composed by Unisuga and arranged by Jindo with performance by the jdk band and same with the Evo arrangement.
@@ztune3945 This one is arranged by Okajima, Jindo arranged the intro. It also has additional guitars by Miyazaki and Hiramatsu. And Shun Kobayashi as an additional tenor, thus making the arrangement slightly different.
Why is every final boss theme in this series so damn good!?
Falcom JDK are godlike composers. Their music is super legit. Listen to them on surround sound speakers.
The most stress inducing boss fight i have fought in a while. Really cool fight thou.
And of course this song is bloody amazing too.the metal guitar and shit is wonderful.
This is a very good song to end the crossbell games on as it feels like it embodies the spirit of the entire ost.
Amazing. Falcom music always so awesome :D
Someone I know called this "DM Dokuro does Azure Arbitrator" and yeah that's legit. Kicks ass!
This doesn't sound evil, it just sounds intimidating.
this is actually incredible
BANGER

The original Azure Arbitrator did this part much better.
@@arczeum7921 I don' t think so. But everyone is entitled to his/her opinion.
@@DesMondesBlut that was a trick response, because the part you described is exactly how the original Azure Arbitrator played that part out.

HOLY FUCK!!!! THIS A TOTAL BANGER.!!!!
geofront patch lessgoooo
E.O.V in azure arbitrator! Cool though I do prefer the Jindo arrange and the original! Okajima will be missed!
love this song
これはオリジナルと甲乙つけがたいところだね。真ん中の間奏部分はこちらのほうがいい。
you could make a religion out of this
Edit: 69 likes nice
than what was the cult in zero doing?
no wait don't-
It's mine.
Please, leave this music out of religion, for god sake. XD
The beginning part of this EVO track reminds me of Ace Combat
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
ディストーションてのは常時かけるもんじゃない。
人間で言うならヤク中みたいな状態。
Shame they didn't use this version in Hajimari.
I personally prefer the original track so I don’t mind it to much. But it would be cool to still hear it, maybe on like a face two of the last battle or something.
I was hoping for a new remix of it in Hajimari but getting the original was cool too

The drums are alot better in the original that's my only caveat with this aside from that it's a great arrangement.
😊😊
I KNEEL
The Guitar is a bit fast compared to the original
創で流れていたのはどっちですか？
The drums are way better in this version
Apex of the Trails series behold Demiourgos !
Kiseki series best final boss bgm
Was evolution like a directors cut?

This or E.O.V... tough choice
Yeah right.
Holy crap for this remix. It replaces my favorite guitar solo into a nonsense one, sad
If only the original track had drumming as good as this. New intro's fine, but the guitar overdose misses the point of the original's arrangement.
Can you point to the guitar solo? I personally find no fault with it.

@@AbyssDwellerthetokutuber excellent explanation.
It's awesome but the original is way better.
Man this is so busy
Like, needlessly so
Matter of taste. I'm assuming you're talking about all the shredding in the middle - I've seen other people say they dislike it. I love it.
ファルコムってアレンジいつも微妙だよね
They made the greatest final boss theme of all time lame here.
It's more metal and awesome though~
