    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.
    Drive away the enemy far from us
    And give us everlasting peace
    Thus with You as leader going before,
    Let us avoid every disaster"

  • @l1loyd5l
    @l1loyd5l Рік тому +27

    This is my favorite ost in every Trails game out there, because it represents what's happening at this point so well. Combining Opera and Metal together is such a weird combination but goddamn it represents what it needs to, together they make this weird emotion of hope and strength but at the same time fear and despair, because the gang knows full well that doing what they're doing will pretty much drag their beloved country into war, but nonetheless choosing to take control of their destiny instead of just letting fate take its course.

    • @arczeum7921
      @arczeum7921 Рік тому +10

      What I like about this song is how it represents the struggle in the final battle; the guitars are Lloyd and his team, and the choir is the Azure Demiurgos. Both are fighting for supremacy in trying to overtake the other. Near the middle, it sounds like the choir has won, but the guitars get a second wind and the struggle begins anew, and we think the choir will pitch in again near the end, but instead we get a single female voice doing a solo; that voice obviously being KeA, singing in lament for her actions, before the guitars jump back in aggressively, as if trying to reach out to the crying child. The choir begins again, drowning out the single voice and the struggle seemingly repeats until a single guitar solo (Lloyd) makes the final blow, and the choir says their final words, ending the struggle.

      I was listening to the last boss music of Octopath traveler 2 (Those Who Deny the Dawn) thinking "Fuck. This is the best music I've ever heard.". Some dude in the comments mentioned this so I came to listen to it. I think you should give it a listen to. If you aren't much sold on the voice work, at least stick around for the guitar solo. 😂
      To compare the 2. This song is just all around awesome in a vacuum. That song has some OOMPH and is clearly trying to sell the feeling of overcoming a difficult obstacle. Curious as to if it only works so well because of all the music throughout the game leading up to that climactic battle.

    *_Unofficial Lyrics:_*
    Come, creative spirit...
    Creative spirit...
    Visit the minds of your followers.
    Fill with celestial grace,
    Those hearts, which you created.
    Strengthening with lasting vigor,
    The weakness, of our body.
    Kindle a light, in our senses.
    Infuse love in our hearts. (x2)
    May you drive the enemy, far from us,
    And give us everlasting peace.
    Thus with you as leader, going before,
    Let us avoid every disaster.
    Strengthening with lasting vigor,
    The weakness, of our body.
    Kindle a light, in our senses.
    Infuse love in our hearts. (x2)
    Thus with you as leader, going before,
    Let us avoid every disaster.
    Come, creative spirit...
    Creative spirit...
    Visit the minds of your followers.
    Fill with celestial grace,
    Those hearts, which you created...
    [These lyrics are adapted from an English translation of the Latin Gregorian chant "Veni, creator spiritus", specifically the version from the Symphony No. 8 by Gustav Mahler]
    {SPOILER TERRITORY}
    I think to those who have beaten the game, the meaning of these lyrics as they relate to the story is obvious. I love how despite basically copy pasting the lyrics from an already established piece, the context in which it is played gives it an entirely new meaning.
    In this case, the "creative" spirit refers to the Sept-Terrion of Mirage Demiourgos, who while not the creator of humanity in Zemuria is a creator in the sense that all things come to be because of causality, which she controlled. KeA, being a alchemical reincarnation of Demiourgos is the creative spirit being beckoned by the Crois family. To fill the hearts of Demiourgos' creations, the humans who are the way they are because of her causality, is to guide them - which is exactly what the Azure-Zero plan was meant to accomplish.
    To strengthen the weakness of the body with lasting vigor is to make the limitations of the human body obsolete, as with Gnosis. But on a grander scale, it means to remove the shackles that prevent humanity from reaching its full potential. To kindle a light in the senses is to set humanity straight and to prevent them from straying from their path, and to infuse love into their hearts is to rid them of counterproductive malice and replace it with benevolence that leads to peace.
    However, for all this talk of peace there is still the mention of an "enemy" that needs to be driven out to create said peace. Perhaps it is a peace that is only exclusive to a certain group.
    And of course, the leader that will ensure humanity avoids every disaster is KeA herself.

      Serpent Eating The Horizon is just so good cause it manage to be an absolute banger on top of compacting a ton of leitmotif from the entire game in one song, Azure Arbitrator just lack in that second department. I also think the Final Boss theme they compose for Hajimari no Kiseki was also superior to Azure Arbitrator in my opinion. This one would be third tied with Nier Replicant's Remaster version of Shadowlord.

      To me it's slightly higher than Brahman from Digital Devil Saga 2. Simply the peak of final boss themes. People like to suck Dancing Mad off, but it's simply dwarfed by the sheer awesomeness of Azure Arbitrator and Brahman.

      i could recommend many of them but start with some songs from tarja turunen and manuela kraller if you like operatic voice. the other singers are great as well but in a bit different style
