Ah yes, the impossible to get to ending that requires you to hack and slash your way to find all the weapons in the game just to hit you with a CRAZY rhythm game D: The music bops though.
In fairness, this ending is exceedingly easy to access when compared to the first game’s final ending. This one takes maybe an hour of grinding gold and doing a few of the easier Accord’s Requests lol
@@hellogoodbye1748I still don’t understand how as a child, relative to being 28 this year, I was able to do it. Guides helped with the weapons but some of those timed missions were hell even using optimal strats. If it didn’t age semi-poorly and I could find a decent control mapping mod I’d definitely stream/play this again.
Drakengard 3 is probably the easiest game to get all the weapons in since it doesn't have any random esoteric unlock requirements you're never told about like the others. Though some of Accord's Requests... yeah they can be pretty annoying to try to clear.
@Akay4444444444444444 Since im currently playing it, I think DoD1's requirements are heavily reliant on experimentation. Thought some are really bad , like in Seere's Prayer one kf the missions you habe to clear all the minion enemies in 6 minutes.
I can barely make it through the slowdown part without crying. Zero came into this world *to die.* Her whole crusade was a suicide mission. Her bond with Mikhail was a suicide pact. And that slowdown with the music box is when Zero realizes that her mission is finally complete.
I never play this game and i know its intro to NieRs. I just read what you say and with knowledge from NieR world i understand this song enough to made my cry.

There's this youtuber called marcomeatball who is a classically trained opera singer that reacts to game music from different series. It's really interesting because his main point in a lot of his videos is that a lot of game music, especially from the nier and final fantasy franchises, is musically rich and sort of a 21st century revival of classical music. He says that the way we experience game music is like how people in the classical era experienced opera music, and that both should be held in equally high regard. We connect this beautiful music to emotionally charged experiences, like someone attending an opera would connect the music to the story being told and the visuals. Above all, however, the music is so well constructed that it can communicate the themes of the work without any context from the games themselves, and when heard as part of the experience of playing a game can both elevate our emotions and allow us to learn about how to read and analyze classical music. As an artform in its infancy and with a wider cultural push that seeks to keep games being viewed as utilitarian products as opposed to a legitimate and serious form of art, I think that the broader culture has completely foregone appreciating and studying the music of these modern masters. It's really tragic that the majority of music lovers dismiss video game music. I sincerely believe that 100 years from now, when the cultural moment has come and gone, people will be discussing keichi okabe's music. In my opinion, he is the musical talent of the century.
I like marcomeatball. He is very open-minded and have listened and analyzed many video game music styles, from orchestra to metal to techno music. And above all, he has been sharing video game music to his friends and colleagues in the form of reactions, and this will help bring video game music into the sphere of academic study en masse. You say that video game music is still in its infancy, but to me, like metal, it has flourished in such a short period of time that it has reach the status of being regarded as art. It's just that people are too close-minded to appreciate it. But with marcomeatball continuing doing the Gods' work, video game music will be vindicated.

Im that person who thinks video game ost is kinda cringe (i can listen to OST a little bit but i usually like some vocals) tough im not gonna pretend like most are pretty mediocre or pop.... Mostly games from japan tend to have banger OST for some reason or another. I think
@@archikaronerock8580 true i can just think of jp ost, the other day i saw a guy on the bus listening to five nights at Freddy's ost and i did cringe hard 💀💀💀💀
I mean I kinda get why most people would think so. Video Game OSTs tend to work best when accompanied with the associated gameplay/scenes or if you're somewhat knowledgeable on the context. Most casual listeners don't have that kind of imvestment nor context nor are they knowledgeable on music beyond mere consumption to appreciate it on a fundamental creative perspective - because after all, video game music is still music. It's like how the average person doesn't think much about Kim Jung Gi's art beyond "cool detailed cartoon drawings" but someone with enough experience in art would realize that his drawing process is the equivalent of writing a best-selling 900 page novel in one sitting with no rewrites nor typos, based on a fleeting thought he had 5 minutes ago during lunch time.
Bought Drakengard 3 when it released and when I finally got to this song it took me 3 days of trying and even calling some friends and family to try it. The day I finally did beat it I had to recall early piano lessons and realized that the patterns are in sync with musical rhythm, Somehow got lucky with the phantom notes. Taro was evil for that.
The whole game was fine, except the final part. IT SUCKED SO BAD IT TOOK ME ALMOST 6 HOURS TO BEAT IT. The music was fire, but it also got me anxiety, nightmare, and depression.
There's some weird parts in the game, random spikes in the sexual content, but its otherwise mainly a hack and slash with GUT WRENCHING characters and character stories. The dragon is adorable. And the final song... don't watch. Just close your eyes and LISTEN. You'll have better luck hitting the notes that way, especially at the hellish part. That's how I beat it; not lookimg at the screen. I still remember my parents screaming in joy as I completed it, they watched me attempt it for the entire day.
@@cussundriakneal9904 Random spikes? I feel 90% of the dialogue was about sex. Which honestly made the vibes not so great to me. Maybe I don't understand Japanese culture well enough, but I thought it was mostly cringe and unfunny sex jokes.
@@Chocokaylarobin The Mother's Song is creepier, especially when you consider the citizens on the ground actually heard it as it played. For quite a number, it was the last thing they heard with human ears.
Another deletion wave, my bookmarked video of this song got deleted. I don't know why [company] wants to destroy this art, but it's working, and that scares me. Poetic that this is the song that ends the world.
The way I beat this mission legit? Blindfold yourself and trust your ears. No; I'm not kidding. Your attacks should be PERFECTLY timed with the beat of the song. When you try to time your hits with the visual movement of the rings, you miss more often bc of the frame lags. After like 2 hours of sighted attempts, I tried it blindfolded and beat it on my second try.
But even blindfolded, there's a suckerpunch on the midway of the song. There's a one chime sound but on the visual, there are 2 consecutively. Which leads to a game over and have to repeat the whole song again. This ending cause me half of my lifespan beating this game.
@@RamosArchieNot to mention the frame drops. I saw a friend play this on the original PS3 and one of their deaths in this segment was from frame drops iirc.
English lyrics: Flower, blackest plight, sings of tarnished white Within blindness, blooming, undue new life Forlorn songs of angels, cry at the end of time Branching time, endless sorrow, beyond fate, in this silence Claws of white, newborn light, strong and right, rise now I have known wayward winds, ever lost, I fade into daybreak A wandering soul howls to the sky, forever through ages Oh, may sleep come take you. Death leaves you cold. Life laid to waste, wretches gave haste, damned are they now. Desecrated minds, figments of grief and lies Flowered monsters, hear these faint cries Flower, blackest plight, sings of tarnished white Bitter are those prayers now drenched in blood Flower, blackest plight, is the song of might that will sound a day in which all shall disappear...
@@thierrydecker8110 song starts out as japanese and descends into a made up language literally just translate the song and edit it so the translated lyrics rhyme and work together
I've never played the game. I've seen the fight but never done it myself. That being said, this song... it's beautiful, yes, but there is something so haunting about it that it's actually kind of anxiety inducing. I'm in this constant state of "Mm, yes. Jamming while on the verge of a panic attack. I love."
When I close my eyes, I can see that quiet town, Silent H- ... no wait, wrong game. When I close my eyes, I can hear the beat of each ring ... tching tching .... tching. thithithi ... thing.

This music makes me regret that I was too young to be allowed to enjoy these games when they were released. I hope a remaster or a port release is made.
The game from what I seen released in a bad state. So I don't think it was that enjoyable back then. Only because of those who put work in emulators gave us "remastered" version of it that feels nice to play. I hope they touch the games and give them more love, but they probably have way too much going on to release today in refreshed version. Drakengard most likely wouldn't happen if censorship not ignored it.
Between this, Shara Ishvalda, Shadowlord/Shadowlord’s castle, and Singularity Balance (and also Singularity from Origins), I’m beginning to sense a trend of musics I’ve come to like that I can’t put a finger on… A certain style of chorus and/or instrumentation I have trouble putting into words. They’re like physical, focusing musics… Maybe something with a Hindu bend in tandem with western touches, but I know there’s more to it that I have trouble articulating.
@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire Bayonetta 3, same as Singularity. It's used in the scene where Whittingam Fair Bayonetta fights the unknown enemy who turns out to be Singularity later on.
Fleeting words (either another edit version, family version, or outsider version) from nier replicant is very good if not on par with Shadowlord, you should give it a listen as well. Tis quite a banger
@@westerwald3923 Ok, I had an idea: A new MMO FPS (256 players min. per game), BUT the soundtrack would made by a collaboration between Okabe Keiichi and Michael Salvatori… _What do you think that OST would sound like?_
i just realised that the picture implies that zero cut her arm off cause her sword is bloody and her is laying next to her at first I thought it was blood but after watching this over and over it just hit me wtf thats her arm
Zero lost her arm fighting her sisters in the opening mission of the game. She blocked a blast from One's dragon, Gabriel and it got blown off. What's going on with her arm in this picture, it's the damaged mechanical arm. She gets it after that cutscene. You can tell because she has the Flower on her eye and a younger Mikhail behind her. Why does she have a flower in her eye? Play the game and find out ;)
I was confused for a moment, I thought she was singing on Chaos Language but then I realized it has subtitles and chaos language doesn't then I focused and she was singing in japanese lmao. When I listen to her voice I already think that she is singing chaos
I believe they really tried to experiment with made up languages with Drakengard 3. They focused more on "musical" words and pronunciations rather than something phonetically correct, so I like to think Emi was already asked by Taro to be more "divine/ethereal"-like with some OSTs during development, which led to the Chaos Language later in the Nier titles.
I still wait till this day for low tier god yoko taro to give us a remaster/remake of drakengard 3 and still give us a middle finger with the final song having the same camera man operating it
I didn't experienced the nightmare but i find the sound incredible.Especial the end were the song slow down and seems to fade away, as if it was dying.
That's exactly what was happening. The drums represent the main character's heart beat. The finalsong washer final stand, so to speak. The tapering off was hee drawing her final breaths.
To speak without words. Convey to another your soul without words. That is art. There are…literally no words in Any of this music. Yet we all understand precisely what’s happening in every track.

i think it's just because i'm cracked at sekiro and can understand rhythms, but i did the final boss of route D in 3 tries. 1 killed me first time round, the 2nd is the final fucking note when mikhail talks
Woah, what the hell? This auto played while I was drawing, and I'm stunned! Can someone recommend a playthrough of whatever game this is? I already love the music, and I'd love to see the actual gameplay. Edit: And the story, because I've never even heard of this game.
I actually had same thing-not sure if you did looked into it or not but overall its pretty depressing game about meaning of life...which is precedessor to Nier series. Once i got this song randomly and went on spree for months into world of Yoko Taro and it was best thing i ever did.
Its called Drakengard 3! I'd highly recommend checking out the five hour all dialogue vid because the story is contained throughout gameplay and not just cutscenes!!! Its a good time, and it has a few cool as hell rugpulls
I see everyone complaining about how difficult the ending was to get. But personally, it was probably my best gaming experience. Despite the 20hours I spent on this final boss, I enjoyed it and I will remember it until my death. I'm a souls player and never a souls boss (even Malenia) made feel like this when I beat them. The reward I got for beating this music game, this peak ending we all got, I bet we shouldn't have love it this much if not because of this last fight.
Of course I am here to comment, after finally finishing the final route by spamming my controller for the final note, after years of procrastinating. A bit sad that the old upload of this song's disappeared from my playlist (UA-cam doing "magnificent" copyright things as usual), which has dragged me in to this series. Thanks for the upload.
It's funny how the translation for the lyrics is all coherent while the Japanese sung in this is all broken and weird, I think the translation should have been broken too so it gives the song vibes xD like "inori no chi ga aru mama" = "there is still blood of prayers" or "there is continuous blood of prayers" instead of "I hear always in bloodied prayers"
This final honestly wasn't as bad as Drakengard 1 Ending E. While the timings were more precise, the melody and beat made a lot more sense and was easier to follow, imo. There were a few mean delayed notes, but mostly it remained tame. It was extremely long, though.
A pome of the nightmares and darkness of the black flower. ... Darkness is like the night without the moon and stars and lights There is no light to shine it's like world of darkness an unknown place called the dark nightmare world. It's like an unknown dream of dancing in the darkness where nightmares and darkness and shadows lurking at night. Dancing alone in the darkness Where shadow monsters wandering in the realm of darkness. But when shadow monster see you... It takes your heart out and eats your heart and your body in a dream. Sometimes when a dream human something horrifying or even when they had bad dreams the dream mine's will be corrupted and the dream human will turn itself into a shadow monster in the realm of darkness in the dark nightmare world.
Well thanks but can you keep it a secret? I had a phobia of the dark when I was a 9 year old. Also I used to have this dream about a shadow monster when I was 8 years old. Hey I don't get this out of hand ok...but don't tell anyone about this. Ok?
Okay don't worry I won't. I was scared of the dark before too. But now its more scary stubbing my toe when I can't see... Also your reply is public so idk if it can be a secret :c
Oh right...I see your point there...well since I'm an adult...sigh 😔😔😔 it's so hard for me ya know I got a lot things in my head that I got too much to worry about? The way I feel anyways 😔😔😔
Well, I hope things will get better for you. I worry as well sometimes. I normally just ignore things my worry even if it seems unrealistic to do so, in the hope that the future I want will come true. Idk if its the *best* thing to do but right now, for you, I will hope and believe you will be okay
I haven't experienced the nightmare.
I just came here to enjoy the good music.

It's like how the average person doesn't think much about Kim Jung Gi's art beyond "cool detailed cartoon drawings" but someone with enough experience in art would realize that his drawing process is the equivalent of writing a best-selling 900 page novel in one sitting with no rewrites nor typos, based on a fleeting thought he had 5 minutes ago during lunch time.
Bought Drakengard 3 when it released and when I finally got to this song it took me 3 days of trying and even calling some friends and family to try it. The day I finally did beat it I had to recall early piano lessons and realized that the patterns are in sync with musical rhythm, Somehow got lucky with the phantom notes. Taro was evil for that.
Ok now I wanna play this game just for the music and the anxiety everyone is talking about
The whole game was fine, except the final part. IT SUCKED SO BAD IT TOOK ME ALMOST 6 HOURS TO BEAT IT. The music was fire, but it also got me anxiety, nightmare, and depression.
@@hardy3786 "The whole game was fine"
Bitch the game runs at 5fps if you're lucky
Do it! The whole series too! Some of the most unique experiences I've experienced from a video game and the most unique music I've heard
There's some weird parts in the game, random spikes in the sexual content, but its otherwise mainly a hack and slash with GUT WRENCHING characters and character stories. The dragon is adorable.
And the final song... don't watch. Just close your eyes and LISTEN. You'll have better luck hitting the notes that way, especially at the hellish part. That's how I beat it; not lookimg at the screen.
I still remember my parents screaming in joy as I completed it, they watched me attempt it for the entire day.
@@cussundriakneal9904 Random spikes? I feel 90% of the dialogue was about sex. Which honestly made the vibes not so great to me. Maybe I don't understand Japanese culture well enough, but I thought it was mostly cringe and unfunny sex jokes.

Have you heard Ch 13 of Drakengard?
@@Chocokaylarobin that's easy af compared to this one
@@Tony-lw5yp Im just saying they both got the creepy factor and get the job done lol
@@Chocokaylarobin The Mother's Song is creepier, especially when you consider the citizens on the ground actually heard it as it played. For quite a number, it was the last thing they heard with human ears.
Another deletion wave, my bookmarked video of this song got deleted. I don't know why [company] wants to destroy this art, but it's working, and that scares me.
Poetic that this is the song that ends the world.

At least recovermy{.}video exists

@@makkusuunfilwin1852 then wtf are they doing, haha
keep this song a secret?
The way I beat this mission legit?
Blindfold yourself and trust your ears.
No; I'm not kidding. Your attacks should be PERFECTLY timed with the beat of the song. When you try to time your hits with the visual movement of the rings, you miss more often bc of the frame lags.
After like 2 hours of sighted attempts, I tried it blindfolded and beat it on my second try.
That's rad
Do a video about this since I don't think anyone has uploaded this before
But even blindfolded, there's a suckerpunch on the midway of the song. There's a one chime sound but on the visual, there are 2 consecutively. Which leads to a game over and have to repeat the whole song again.
This ending cause me half of my lifespan beating this game.
@@RamosArchieNot to mention the frame drops. I saw a friend play this on the original PS3 and one of their deaths in this segment was from frame drops iirc.
Dont forget the final two notes where u click 18 seconds after the chime lol
English lyrics:
Flower, blackest plight, sings of tarnished white
Within blindness, blooming, undue new life
Forlorn songs of angels, cry at the end of time
Branching time, endless sorrow, beyond fate, in this silence
Claws of white, newborn light, strong and right, rise now
I have known wayward winds, ever lost, I fade into daybreak
A wandering soul howls to the sky, forever through ages
Oh, may sleep come take you.
Death leaves you cold.
Life laid to waste, wretches gave haste, damned are they now.
Desecrated minds, figments of grief and lies
Flowered monsters, hear these faint cries
Flower, blackest plight, sings of tarnished white
Bitter are those prayers now drenched in blood
Flower, blackest plight, is the song of might
that will sound a day in which all shall disappear...
These don't match up with the video from both what I read and see, where did you get those lyrics?
@@thierrydecker8110 That's because these are lyrics for singing whereas, in the video that's the literal translation of the song.
@@BloodyLuna20 Yes, but where did you get them from?

@@revotrip2069 how do you feel, brother in drakengard christ?
@@Celly01 Pained.
I always felt that the Itoners were some kind of " homonculi." Incomplete things aware that they were broken but not knowing how in what way.
You are kinda correct. They are offshoots of Zero after she tried to kill herself to take out the flower.
And zero was a dead prostitute
I've never played the game. I've seen the fight but never done it myself. That being said, this song... it's beautiful, yes, but there is something so haunting about it that it's actually kind of anxiety inducing. I'm in this constant state of "Mm, yes. Jamming while on the verge of a panic attack. I love."
When I close my eyes, I can see that quiet town, Silent H- ... no wait, wrong game.
When I close my eyes, I can hear the beat of each ring ... tching tching .... tching. thithithi ... thing.

I listen to this and I can still hear the sound of the rings shattering...
This music makes me regret that I was too young to be allowed to enjoy these games when they were released. I hope a remaster or a port release is made.
The game from what I seen released in a bad state. So I don't think it was that enjoyable back then. Only because of those who put work in emulators gave us "remastered" version of it that feels nice to play.
I hope they touch the games and give them more love, but they probably have way too much going on to release today in refreshed version. Drakengard most likely wouldn't happen if censorship not ignored it.
Between this, Shara Ishvalda, Shadowlord/Shadowlord’s castle, and Singularity Balance (and also Singularity from Origins), I’m beginning to sense a trend of musics I’ve come to like that I can’t put a finger on… A certain style of chorus and/or instrumentation I have trouble putting into words. They’re like physical, focusing musics… Maybe something with a Hindu bend in tandem with western touches, but I know there’s more to it that I have trouble articulating.
Also "The begginning of the end"... Man that's a gorgeus song.
@@luissantiagomijareso.2450
From where?
Lot of songs named that.
@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire Bayonetta 3, same as Singularity. It's used in the scene where Whittingam Fair Bayonetta fights the unknown enemy who turns out to be Singularity later on.
Fleeting words (either another edit version, family version, or outsider version) from nier replicant is very good if not on par with Shadowlord, you should give it a listen as well. Tis quite a banger
@@westerwald3923
Ok, I had an idea:
A new MMO FPS (256 players min. per game), BUT the soundtrack would made by a collaboration between Okabe Keiichi and Michael Salvatori…
_What do you think that OST would sound like?_
i just realised that the picture implies that zero cut her arm off cause her sword is bloody and her is laying next to her
at first I thought it was blood but after watching this over and over it just hit me wtf thats her arm
Why did she cut her arm off
@@Yana-rl6rt idk but no i cant unsee it
Zero lost her arm fighting her sisters in the opening mission of the game. She blocked a blast from One's dragon, Gabriel and it got blown off.
What's going on with her arm in this picture, it's the damaged mechanical arm. She gets it after that cutscene. You can tell because she has the Flower on her eye and a younger Mikhail behind her.
Why does she have a flower in her eye? Play the game and find out ;)
- Zero?
- Yeah?
- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
Game over xD
Yoko Taro laughing from the distance.
This song is both beautiful and haunting at the same time I love it.
I was confused for a moment, I thought she was singing on Chaos Language but then I realized it has subtitles and chaos language doesn't then I focused and she was singing in japanese lmao. When I listen to her voice I already think that she is singing chaos
I believe they really tried to experiment with made up languages with Drakengard 3. They focused more on "musical" words and pronunciations rather than something phonetically correct, so I like to think Emi was already asked by Taro to be more "divine/ethereal"-like with some OSTs during development, which led to the Chaos Language later in the Nier titles.
It's more like Broken Japanese
@@elechibi92 but chaos language was in the game before drakengard 3, Nier
@@dallama2616Maybe the chaos languaje takes places from Nier titles? Drakengard 3 is the First game in chronologycal terms
The guy handling the gobblet drum truly cooked
I started playing Drakengard 3 just because of this Song. I learnt that this song is final boss.
The boss fight where the camera screws you over multiple times.
the moment we enter Three phase
nightmare hit you really hard until the end of song
I can still see the notes in my head whenever I listen to this
I miss this game.
Keiichi Okabe is god
I still wait till this day for low tier god yoko taro to give us a remaster/remake of drakengard 3 and still give us a middle finger with the final song having the same camera man operating it
I really like this song even though I haven't played the game
I still remember when I failed at the last invisible tune 10/10 Made me rage
There's a few reasons Yoko Taro never shows his face in public, and the rage this fight caused thousands of players HAS to be one of them 😂
This makes me wish for Drakengard 4

That's exactly what was happening. The drums represent the main character's heart beat. The finalsong washer final stand, so to speak.
The tapering off was hee drawing her final breaths.
To speak without words. Convey to another your soul without words. That is art. There are…literally no words in Any of this music. Yet we all understand precisely what’s happening in every track.
there literally are words in this music. it's sung in japanese
Ive listened to this for hours and have now just realised there was vocals
After 2 days trying, I finally beat this game!!! This song is now stuck in my head.
I don´t know why, i don´t when but when I´ll be hurt, I´ll be coming here again
I have almost played through this entire game and thanks to this song I will forever have almost played through this entire game...

I always just wanna Give Zero a hug and tell her everything will be fine then break the cycle and stuff myself
2 days to defeat her....wow.....I have no words.....so sad, beautiful game
I can still hear the chimes....
Mesmerising
Its so beautiful
I never play at this game but this ost is perfect !
My cat loves this song and everytime I play it, his ears perk up and he tries to find it
This voice is not Eir Aoi, it Emi Evans
Ummm, Zero... When will Drakengard get a remake??
i think it's just because i'm cracked at sekiro and can understand rhythms, but i did the final boss of route D in 3 tries. 1 killed me first time round, the 2nd is the final fucking note when mikhail talks
i think it's just because i was on crack but i beat every game ever without losing once
this song always reminds me of how i fight with the camera in this game
The chimes in this theme reminds me of an OST in Sonic Unleashed, very nice
This song uses tubular bells while Sonic Unleashed uses the Indonesian instrument Gamelan
ahh nice insight@@akira1699
I haven't played this game but this song is beautiful
Woah, what the hell? This auto played while I was drawing, and I'm stunned! Can someone recommend a playthrough of whatever game this is? I already love the music, and I'd love to see the actual gameplay.
Edit: And the story, because I've never even heard of this game.
Wow, also the base around 6:30 is so cool!
I actually had same thing-not sure if you did looked into it or not but overall its pretty depressing game about meaning of life...which is precedessor to Nier series. Once i got this song randomly and went on spree for months into world of Yoko Taro and it was best thing i ever did.
Its called Drakengard 3! I'd highly recommend checking out the five hour all dialogue vid because the story is contained throughout gameplay and not just cutscenes!!! Its a good time, and it has a few cool as hell rugpulls
Thanks for all the info!
What a nice song, i wonder when it will play in the game
Dude, do you have this silence is mine? It was deleted and I can't find it anywhere.
No, I don't. Sorry. I was looking for it on my phone but couldn't find it.

thanos sitting down giving us that speech
It reminds me of elfen lied lovely and terrifying, calming and climatic. Nice music, though.
I see everyone complaining about how difficult the ending was to get. But personally, it was probably my best gaming experience. Despite the 20hours I spent on this final boss, I enjoyed it and I will remember it until my death. I'm a souls player and never a souls boss (even Malenia) made feel like this when I beat them. The reward I got for beating this music game, this peak ending we all got, I bet we shouldn't have love it this much if not because of this last fight.

A bit sad that the old upload of this song's disappeared from my playlist (UA-cam doing "magnificent" copyright things as usual),

This is a cool song
This music is beautiful but gives me PTSD I listened to this song 10h trying to beat the final boss
Haven’t play the game but this song’s insane
Some of the words sound like japanese (黒い花 あの声が) but the rest of it sounds like not
It's funny how the translation for the lyrics is all coherent while the Japanese sung in this is all broken and weird, I think the translation should have been broken too so it gives the song vibes xD like "inori no chi ga aru mama" = "there is still blood of prayers" or "there is continuous blood of prayers" instead of "I hear always in bloodied prayers"
Just imagine if this ever get a trophy system and final trophy would be to finish this ending ☠️
I dont care about playing the game anytime soon, but this song is a masterpiece.
Nier Reincarnation also had a Cursed God boss fight with the same rhythm game, really felt the nostalgia of Drakengard
This final honestly wasn't as bad as Drakengard 1 Ending E. While the timings were more precise, the melody and beat made a lot more sense and was easier to follow, imo. There were a few mean delayed notes, but mostly it remained tame. It was extremely long, though.
While reading the lyrics, it tells about the Black Flower
A pome of the nightmares and darkness of the black flower.
...
Darkness is like the night without the moon and stars and lights
There is no light to shine it's like world of darkness an unknown place called the dark nightmare world.
It's like an unknown dream of dancing in the darkness where nightmares and darkness and shadows lurking at night. Dancing alone in the darkness
Where shadow monsters wandering in the realm of darkness.
But when shadow monster see you... It takes your heart out and eats your heart and your body in a dream.
Sometimes when a dream human something horrifying or even when they had bad dreams the dream mine's will be corrupted and the dream human will turn itself into a shadow monster in the realm of darkness in the dark nightmare world.
I hope you are okay
Well thanks but can you keep it a secret? I had a phobia of the dark when I was a 9 year old. Also I used to have this dream about a shadow monster when I was 8 years old. Hey I don't get this out of hand ok...but don't tell anyone about this. Ok?
Okay don't worry I won't. I was scared of the dark before too. But now its more scary stubbing my toe when I can't see... Also your reply is public so idk if it can be a secret :c
Oh right...I see your point there...well since I'm an adult...sigh 😔😔😔 it's so hard for me ya know I got a lot things in my head that I got too much to worry about? The way I feel anyways 😔😔😔
Well, I hope things will get better for you. I worry as well sometimes. I normally just ignore things my worry even if it seems unrealistic to do so, in the hope that the future I want will come true. Idk if its the *best* thing to do but right now, for you, I will hope and believe you will be okay
When I first saw the full fight on UA-cam, I was like “WTF is this bologna?!”
This and Ch 13 😭
When you get into an argument with your mom.
Drakengard 3 is amazing. How a game so fucking bad and cheesy could be so beautiful?
