No need to thank me man, always great to see another guy enjoy this song. One thing to correctly though, the series is Bravely Default, not Braverly Default xD. Probably mentioned this before but Marty Friedman did actually tour with this band for this concert a several times back in 2014. He plays during the boss medley in the concert video.
@@lastverse9598 on a technical level perhaps because synthesized music plays perfect notes but its still a spectacle to see such a vast array of instruments performing a rollercoaster of a song live. And this is ignoring the fact that the actual ingame OST is from a 3DS game, which doesn't exactly have the most high-quality music. Also no lyrics for most of the songs that have them in the live performance, though since I don't speak Japanese I kinda prefer that most of the time.
The editing of the video seems to hide it, but apparently Revo had to keep running off stage between all his parts to grab different instruments. Which ya know honestly just makes it better.
The part where there’s a solo for the flute, violin , accordion and clarinet is actually a reference to all of the main characters themes so the flute is Tis the Violin is Agnes the Accordion is Ringabel and the clarinet is Edea
@@DeciusNix12 look I’m not well versed in musical instruments. I basically know the categories and the most common ones that I saw in middle school band like 7 years ago. So I just said what they looked like to me
it was a small miracle that the game even got released outside of Japan too iirc. Nintendo had to step in to publish it overseas. And they had to do it again for both sequels, though SE finally got the confidence to also release Bravely Default II on PC by themselves (digital only, afaik)
@@TheMaxinR correct, the first 2 would both lose something being on PC, aside from the work to make them single screen there is the bit during the final boss of the first one where the 3ds camera gets used, which i suppose a webcam could be used for, but every 3ds has that camera, not every PC has a webcam
Fun fact, that man in the accordion with the luxurious looking hair is actually the OST's composer! You can find a fascinating video essay called Bravely Default's Empowering Music that goes over the leitmotifs in this track, and how the entire OST sets up for THIS one.
One thing to note about Japanese concerts held in Japan is that the audience are VERY respectful towards the artists and tend to not cheer mid performance with some exceptions but its generally very silent from the crowd.
As a few people have mentioned, the solos are the main themes of each character. But one fun thing I haven't seen anyone mention is that the dude playing the accordion is the composer of this masterpiece. Oh, and if you want to check out just the main themes they are called "You're my hope" for Tiz, "Windward" for Agnès, "Baby Bird" for Edea and "Love's Vagrat" for Ringabel. They all have purely instrumental and lyrical versions.
@@JessesAuditorium The game has an interesting mechanic where when a character uses a limit burst, the battle music changes to that characters theme song. Your party get large stat boosts for the duration of the song, meaning that the faster you can input commands, etc, the more turns you get at that boosted power level, etc. This song is the music that plays during the final boss encounter, and at 5:48 it goes into the 4 main character themes. Mid-battle. Really gets you pumped up that the boss music changes to YOUR music, mid fight. Which is also why the style of the music changes so much back and forth right there.
Another cool note about the song: when each of the individual instruments get their solos, those are the themes for when a character enters a "powered up" state, and they overwrite the combat theme, so throughout the game, the player has come to associate those themes with a final push towards victory, which makes it all the cooler to hear those themes come in one after another to "duel" the final boss's music as the player progresses further into the fight. That's also why the first part of the song loops. :)
If you want to try some songs from the main project by Revo, Sound Horizon. It's not videogame music, but you may still enjoy it privately. Sound Horizon is "narrative" music, essentially Rock Opera but designed to be listened from a CD instead of performed on a stage (although they absolutely nail live performances too! It's just not the main goal). Each CD is a separate storyline, though there are connections between the different CDs' plots. For Revo, Horizon refers to each "narrative" or "world." The CDs are referred as Horizons with the big ones being numbered (The First Horizon, Chronicle; the Fourth Horizon, Elysion....), so the "Serpent Eating the Horizon" essentially translates to the "Serpent Eating the Story/World" in his own metaphorical language. ua-cam.com/video/FdWGxYApAhY/v-deo.html Sharing this interpretation of "Mythos" from the 6th Horizon, Moira, and the "Message of 11 Letters" from Roman, the Fifth Horizon.
6:19 - “Accordion? Let’s go!” Fun fact - that’s the fourth character leitmotif in this sequence, but an even funner fact - the accordion’s player is REVO himself, the man behind Sound Horizon.
I'm so happy to see you reacting to this one because Revo has always been my favorite composer and I've been following his original stuff (Sound Horizon) for such a long time. While collabing with other projects like here the Bravely Default series or the anime Attack on Titan, Revo uses the name Linked Horizon. And the more people find out about Revo, the happier I am, so thanks for this! :D
I was so happy when Attack on Titan came to the US with his music because suddenly other people around me knew his music and wanted to know more about who made it, and I HAVE SO MUCH INFORMATION AND LOVE TO SHARE ABOUT THAT MAN LAHGFJLKEHFASLIGHAJEOI
I've never played Bravely Default either but the first time I saw this video I was completely and utterly blown away. There are many many songs I absolutely love but as far as being blown away in the "what the heck is going on?" way, this is at the top for me.
If you play the game this song hits different because it is a massive remix of like at least 7 or 8 individual songs, maybe more, that occur throughout the game so it represents a lot of emotions you've experienced through your journey up until then. The final battle is very long so this song motivates you to keep going every time it switches up.
Thanks to BloodTrinity for the request! Here are the songs mentioned in this video; Dimmu Borgir - The Serpentine Offering (my cover) ua-cam.com/video/Ta84tcs2lbM/v-deo.html Children of Bodom - Silent Night, Bodom Night ua-cam.com/video/PWzrHPFXZlw/v-deo.html Rimsky Korsakov - Flight Of The Bumblebee ua-cam.com/video/aYAJopwEYv8/v-deo.html Have a nice day :)
I imagine it must be such a joy to be able to create music for games. Imagine having free reign and a frickin' orchestar to play with and no genre is off-limits.
Someone mentioned that Marty Friedman shows up for other tracks in the concert, but there's another unexpected guest - there's a second keyboardist for some of the other tracks who is Motoi Sakuraba, a prolific video game composer who's responsible for most of the Tales, Mario Golf/Tennis and Golden Sun soundtracks, and many others.
The guy playing the accordian is revo and he is also the composer, hes pretty much the only notable member of sound horizon and also linked horizon which is pretty much the more known side thing because they did the opening of attack on titan.
My favorite part of _Serpant Devouring the Horizon_ is that it's broken up into sections when it plays in game, with different sections being looped for different phases in the fight. The really dark middle section plays for when your party is backs against the wall struggling against the boss. So the section everybody's talking about in the comments, the character themes of Tiz, Agnes, Edea, and Ringabel playing in sequence, cues the section where your party makes their comeback. The Character themes generally play in battle when you activate a Special Move, a sort of limit break that deals massive damage while also giving the party a buff while the music plays - the player associates the character themes with kicking ass! Which then gets followed from the main melody of one of the game's boss themes, _That Person's Name Is...,_ as if to say "you've won in battle many times before, and this is no different, go win!" and even the opening notes of the game's _victory jingle,_ just to tell the player they're on the home stretch.
"That crowd is dead. Are they sitting?" Japanese culture has a different sense ooof... let's call it, "reverence and respect" for this kind of thing. People shut up and listen, and save the applause and cheering for afterwards.
Idk if it's been requested yet but you should definitely slot some Bloodborne music into you journey, it's all great but specifically "Ludwig, the Accursed/Holy Blade" is fantastic.
Oh wow, first time I've seen a reaction of the live version. Well, it is an amazing performance. The drummer (Jun-Ji) is really good indeed, he's been Revo's (the composer & accordionist) drummer of choice for 10 years now and it's pretty clear why. You mentioned Sound Horizon, so let me just say that there's more where that came from! A two-decade discography full of banger after banger. Criminally underrated.
This song is a culmination of 5 musics + the main theme song of the game 4 instrument for the 4 characters with each theme use those instrument as "the main instrument vibe" So this song is like a "protagonist theme" x4 in the final boss
that ESP guitar is a signature model of guitarist YUKI. Model Name: ESP LIZARD SPECIAL V-III And the Fernandes guitar was guitarist Takeshi Nishiyama's signature model
If you like choices between OST and Live-Performance, I can greatly recommend Ultima, played by the Eorzean Symphony. ua-cam.com/video/Tv_klDrSwMU/v-deo.html Compared to the regular OST, that version has actual fitting lyrics, while the OST version uses non-lexical Dog Latin. They are both still tremendously grand songs, and I greatly recommend both of them.
If you loved the accordion here, I would really recommend you to listen to Love’s Vagrant for the same concert. It’s the theme that you briefly heard in this track. It is sooo good!
As an RPG fanatic this is my favorite final boss theme that even beats out all final boss themes in Final Fantasy games and I played through that whole series so that's saying a lot!!
Loved the reaction, would definitely recommend "God shattering Star" from Fire emblem three houses. Absolutely enjoy games that make playing the game feel so grand.
_This_ is "preventing the end of the world"-tier final boss music. First the boss theme, dark and ominous. Then a sting of the world map theme... and then it's all replaced by the characters' themes - and then by the game's main theme. When someone says anything like that, music fitting for heroes saving the world, they mean _this._ Holy crap.
OOOOHHH MAN...! The 5:45 is such an amazing piece of music that you could make and entire FRANCHISE and world... dedicate your entirel lifes work for a fantasy world/story JUST based on that alone! It reminds me of every single FF, DnD, Fantasy novel and mythological folktale of yores BEUTIFUL hopeful ending theme/tune! I think i am gushing so much because ive never eard a SOUND before that so fully captpures the idyllic feel of "Ye old of magic world that never was but in our dreams and legends" before!
I would recommend listening to the OST and then this song again. It uses a lot of leitmotif, like character themes, overworld theme and even the victory fanfare. There is a great video by Video Game Fanfare where he talks about this called "Bravely Default's Empowering Music". Also the man on the accordion is Revo, the leader of the project "Sound Horizon". All of his music is this good.
This track is insane. But you should also play the game to better understand what happens in this tune: all the different instruments are reprising the themes for the 4 heroes during the final battle etc... So epic. \m/
Do yourself a favor and just listen to the entire OST of Bravely Default. Every single track is perfection. I listen to it while I work and because of that I love my job.
Please react to some of the Fire Emblem Three Houses tracks! God Shattering Star, Apex of the World and Funeral of Flowers are some that come to mind! For ff14, please react to Weight of the World (Prelude) because it's legendary.
if it hasn't already been suggested, the final boss theme of Bravely Default 2 uses a bit of this in it. Eyes That Gaze Into the Nexus - The Ones Who Gather Stars in the Night
Will you be reacting to bravely second or bravely default 2 ost? Bravely second has a different composer but bravely default 2 has the same composer as this
this brings back memories, Bravely Default was such a good game with really only 1 glaring flaw, but the Music was so satisfying and the use of the 3DS camera for the final boss was great imo. also loved how Squenix hid major plot spoilers in the games Tag Line, I like to say that to uncover the spoilers, all you have to do is take the Final Fantasy out of Bravely Default, and it was stupidly clever
@@Nirual86 yeah, adding SP to End Layer to get send player, shame Revo didn’t do the music for bravely second, cause the story was solid, glad they came back for 2, though I still have to finish that one
I always think that 'context' can help understand a song better, and this song, as amazing as it is, definitely hits harder when you know what the significance is. This song is the final boss theme of Bravely Default, against Oroboros, the demonic entity who has been consuming the world over and over again by having patsies like us reset the world and eating what's left. So we basically have been feeding him over and over until the heroes of the story break the mystery and confront him. The best part, too, is that the part near the end, where you have the flute, violin, accordion, and saxophone, are actually the songs that play when the 4 heroes of the game each use their unique super-attacks, causing the battle music to change to their own unique themes for a short time. The way the final boss theme incorporates those 4 themes just hits so hard for me, it's -so- good.
I'm glad you chose to go with the live version. This whole concert is an absolute *feast* and I do recommend watching all of it if you have time. Marty Friedman makes a guest appearance too!
Probably my favorite videogame song ever, it was so perfect, they basically had the music change for each phase, when we're losing to the boss, then the characters themes when they rally again and big epic theme of the game when you do the final push to beat the boss. The music made it SO epic feeling.
Yeah the music evolves and changes according to your point of struggle within the final boss, it's really crazy to experience. First time I've felt like a game's music is affecting my performance in the game, it motivates you to not give up cuz the last battle is pretty long and challenging last I remember.
Bravely Default is one of my favorite games of all time, and this is my favorite final boss theme in anything. I still tear up when the leitmotifs and the main characters' themes kick in near the end.
Maybe top 5 final boss themes of all time, but part of that is the way it brings all of the main character themes, which you'd have been hearing throughout the game, into one medley. It feels AWESOME when it hits that particular part in-game.
funny enough they played the song pretty much as it is in game... sadly DS sound font its pretty subpar but there are some restored versions out there on youtube that sounds great
Hope you make reactions to the rest of the OST, it has a lot of other outstanding songs, my favorite is Ba'al's Theme (mostly related to Bravely Second)
If you like live performance react to the primals stuff! (soken's band that does a lot of ff14 boss music, metal brute justice or rise, or any other songs)
Me a jrpg fan: Yeah , it's classic we have that all the time :D Tbh i love this kind of Metal symphonic orchestra it's really good to hear japanese composer are crazy good
Man, if you like epic live concerts, the Distant Worlds concerts for Final Fantasy are amazing! I have a special place in my heart for the Maria and Draco opera.
I'm working my way through all your reactions while doing some very boring work--this is making said work so much better, thank you! This is the second time now I've watched this video, love your awe and excitement for this. The whole concert is amazing and I've watched it a few times over the past few years. I can't imagine how much more awesome it was to see live. Bravely Default has a great soundtrack Clearly you just need to do a series of reacts to each song in this concert and see the whole thing that way :D (Teasing, mostly.)
This song is amazing but to feel the real scale of it you need the game context, this is the final boss theme and it includes a lot of reference to other themes you find during the game. That’s really what elevate this song, how it’s linked to the game
Maybe it's one of those cultural things where the crowd doesn't want to interrupt the song? Some Eastern Asian cultures are really big on that being impolite.
This theme combines is epic on its own, but it's even more ridiculous when combined with the context of the rest of the game and its music. One example is that each character has an instrument and theme tied to them that plays in your strongest moment. It's something similar to a Limit Break or an ultimate move. That part where there are four different instruments playing solos in sequence? That's your party member's theme songs. It starts at the turning point of a hopeless fight, when suddenly, your party has a chance!
Oh! Bravely default is one of my favorite series! I recommend the Ba'al Battle theme from Bravely Second! It has this sort of playfully creepy factor that I think is great!
i'm about a month late but holy shit, i remember playing this game back in 2012 and the nostalgia hit so hard just hearing the first 5 seconds of the song i'm on the verge of tears at 2 am LMFAO
Awesome song, and great reaction! I’ve never played the game or heard the music myself, but now I’m really tempted to hunt myself down a copy. Stay Gold!
I see you have been reacting to a lot of FFXIV music which I love, but do you react to any of the looped themes? If so, please listen to the Bozjan Southern Front Battle theme.
É tão bom ver que Bravely Default - Serpent Eating The Horizon sendo comentado, simplesmente é um dos meus favoritos do Revo, esse cara merece muito mais reconhecimento!!
Glad to see another person experience the Bravely Default concert lol. If you ever wanna do another Bravely Default song, I’d recommend That Person’s Name Is (specifically the version from the same concert as this one), Eyes that Gaze into the Nexus, or Battle of Providence
Fun fact the 4 heroes themes of this game happens within this final boss song. its why the theme changes. In the game it changes dynamically as you get better in the fight, showing the player is causing hope to burst through. 5:48 Tiz (You Are My Hope) 5:59 Anges (Windward 6:07 Edea (Baby Bird) and 6:17 Ringabell (Vagrant of Love) to mesh into the Asterisk Boss Theme (That Persons Name is): 6:29 The band btw is called "Linked Horizon" they did vocalized versions of the 4 heroes songs and the mentioned asterisk boss theme and, they are known mostly for the First Attack on Titan Opening.
No need to thank me man, always great to see another guy enjoy this song. One thing to correctly though, the series is Bravely Default, not Braverly Default xD.
Probably mentioned this before but Marty Friedman did actually tour with this band for this concert a several times back in 2014. He plays during the boss medley in the concert video.

I would recommend listening to the OST and then this song again. It uses a lot of leitmotif, like character themes, overworld theme and even the victory fanfare. There is a great video by Video Game Fanfare where he talks about this called "Bravely Default's Empowering Music".
Also the man on the accordion is Revo, the leader of the project "Sound Horizon". All of his music is this good.
This track is insane. But you should also play the game to better understand what happens in this tune: all the different instruments are reprising the themes for the 4 heroes during the final battle etc...
So epic. \m/
No clue what this game is but OH MY GOD IT'S SOOOO GOOD
Do yourself a favor and just listen to the entire OST of Bravely Default. Every single track is perfection. I listen to it while I work and because of that I love my job.
I did a react to BD this week, and another coming next week!
this is more of a musical story about the game, its not meant to be cheered to like a rock concert, this is cheering after the performance
Please react to some of the Fire Emblem Three Houses tracks! God Shattering Star, Apex of the World and Funeral of Flowers are some that come to mind! For ff14, please react to Weight of the World (Prelude) because it's legendary.
if it hasn't already been suggested, the final boss theme of Bravely Default 2 uses a bit of this in it. Eyes That Gaze Into the Nexus - The Ones Who Gather Stars in the Night
This song was too much for the 3DS babby speakers, lol.
Will you be reacting to bravely second or bravely default 2 ost? Bravely second has a different composer but bravely default 2 has the same composer as this
this brings back memories, Bravely Default was such a good game with really only 1 glaring flaw, but the Music was so satisfying and the use of the 3DS camera for the final boss was great imo. also loved how Squenix hid major plot spoilers in the games Tag Line, I like to say that to uncover the spoilers, all you have to do is take the Final Fantasy out of Bravely Default, and it was stupidly clever
I loved it so much until the ahem, repeating part.
Bravely Default FLying FAiry
they also did something similar for the sequel (Bravely Second) but not the third game (Bravely Default II), which is a new continuity.
@@Nirual86 yeah, adding SP to End Layer to get send player, shame Revo didn’t do the music for bravely second, cause the story was solid, glad they came back for 2, though I still have to finish that one
6:32 What is happening is you are experiencing for the first time the single best music track in all of video games in my humble opinion 😎
I always think that 'context' can help understand a song better, and this song, as amazing as it is, definitely hits harder when you know what the significance is.
This song is the final boss theme of Bravely Default, against Oroboros, the demonic entity who has been consuming the world over and over again by having patsies like us reset the world and eating what's left. So we basically have been feeding him over and over until the heroes of the story break the mystery and confront him.
The best part, too, is that the part near the end, where you have the flute, violin, accordion, and saxophone, are actually the songs that play when the 4 heroes of the game each use their unique super-attacks, causing the battle music to change to their own unique themes for a short time. The way the final boss theme incorporates those 4 themes just hits so hard for me, it's -so- good.
I've never heard of this game in my life but this is one of the greatest boss themes ever made
It's the live version?? Hell yes!
Maybe ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
this basically is the ost lol
I'm glad you chose to go with the live version. This whole concert is an absolute *feast* and I do recommend watching all of it if you have time. Marty Friedman makes a guest appearance too!
ゲスト出演というか…彼はそもそも原曲のオリジナルメンバーなので…
YESS THE LIVE VERSION! It has everything I love in a song I swear it makes me so happy.
Nothing beats Bravely Default's final boss theme.
My God, this got my blood pumping...!
This song is the most Uematsu non Uematsu song I have ever heard.
Probably my favorite videogame song ever, it was so perfect, they basically had the music change for each phase, when we're losing to the boss, then the characters themes when they rally again and big epic theme of the game when you do the final push to beat the boss. The music made it SO epic feeling.
Yeah the music evolves and changes according to your point of struggle within the final boss, it's really crazy to experience. First time I've felt like a game's music is affecting my performance in the game, it motivates you to not give up cuz the last battle is pretty long and challenging last I remember.
Bravely Default is one of my favorite games of all time, and this is my favorite final boss theme in anything. I still tear up when the leitmotifs and the main characters' themes kick in near the end.
i finally beat the game so im watching this
Maybe top 5 final boss themes of all time, but part of that is the way it brings all of the main character themes, which you'd have been hearing throughout the game, into one medley. It feels AWESOME when it hits that particular part in-game.
Loving these videos dude! Would love to hear your feedback on some Destiny music. Journey and Regicide are two of my faves!
The guy on the accordion is Revo, the composer himself
stylish looking mofo
the most badass final boss theme
And the game is even better.
REVO truly is godlike
I love your genuine enthusiasm! Truly a surprising piece of music, it blindsided me so many times when I heard it for the first time
funny enough they played the song pretty much as it is in game... sadly DS sound font its pretty subpar but there are some restored versions out there on youtube that sounds great
Hope you make reactions to the rest of the OST, it has a lot of other outstanding songs, my favorite is Ba'al's Theme (mostly related to Bravely Second)
If you like live performance react to the primals stuff! (soken's band that does a lot of ff14 boss music, metal brute justice or rise, or any other songs)
Also the guy with the luscious locks shredding on the accordion. That's Revo the music writer for this game!
Me a jrpg fan: Yeah , it's classic we have that all the time :D
Tbh i love this kind of Metal symphonic orchestra it's really good to hear
japanese composer are crazy good
Man, if you like epic live concerts, the Distant Worlds concerts for Final Fantasy are amazing! I have a special place in my heart for the Maria and Draco opera.
I'm working my way through all your reactions while doing some very boring work--this is making said work so much better, thank you! This is the second time now I've watched this video, love your awe and excitement for this. The whole concert is amazing and I've watched it a few times over the past few years. I can't imagine how much more awesome it was to see live. Bravely Default has a great soundtrack
Clearly you just need to do a series of reacts to each song in this concert and see the whole thing that way :D (Teasing, mostly.)
Evil Flight is my favorite by far, but Serpent Eating the Horizon is dope as hell too.
-Composer-san, how many instruments and genres do you want in this piece?
-Yes
REVOOOOO
I highly recommend any boss themes from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance they're fun as hell
Coming this week
This song is amazing but to feel the real scale of it you need the game context, this is the final boss theme and it includes a lot of reference to other themes you find during the game.
That’s really what elevate this song, how it’s linked to the game
Maybe it's one of those cultural things where the crowd doesn't want to interrupt the song? Some Eastern Asian cultures are really big on that being impolite.
Definitely this.
Yes, true. Forgot they were most likely performing there lol
This theme combines is epic on its own, but it's even more ridiculous when combined with the context of the rest of the game and its music.
One example is that each character has an instrument and theme tied to them that plays in your strongest moment. It's something similar to a Limit Break or an ultimate move.
That part where there are four different instruments playing solos in sequence? That's your party member's theme songs. It starts at the turning point of a hopeless fight, when suddenly, your party has a chance!
omg
Oh! Bravely default is one of my favorite series! I recommend the Ba'al Battle theme from Bravely Second! It has this sort of playfully creepy factor that I think is great!
Uroboros theme ❤❤❤❤
you should check out the falkkone version
i'm about a month late but holy shit, i remember playing this game back in 2012 and the nostalgia hit so hard just hearing the first 5 seconds of the song
i'm on the verge of tears at 2 am LMFAO
this song just kept getting better and better as it went along, so good!
Awesome song, and great reaction! I’ve never played the game or heard the music myself, but now I’m really tempted to hunt myself down a copy.
Stay Gold!
Definitely do it before 3ds stuff shoots up now its diacontinued
This is so over the top, it's perfect
I see you have been reacting to a lot of FFXIV music which I love, but do you react to any of the looped themes? If so, please listen to the Bozjan Southern Front Battle theme.
É tão bom ver que Bravely Default - Serpent Eating The Horizon sendo comentado, simplesmente é um dos meus favoritos do Revo, esse cara merece muito mais reconhecimento!!
One of my favorite videogame music
You'll get surprised that the original sound is the same, there's no difference between.
If you like music like this listen to black mages the do rock versions of ff music you’ll love it
Glad to see another person experience the Bravely Default concert lol. If you ever wanna do another Bravely Default song, I’d recommend That Person’s Name Is (specifically the version from the same concert as this one), Eyes that Gaze into the Nexus, or Battle of Providence
Now that one is off the list, I hope he gets around to The Nexus Gazes into the Darkness ~ Those Who Assemble Stars too
psst you should check out voractiy by myth and roid okay bye now back to raiding
You should listen to Wings of Terror by Stella Magna, from Granblue Fantasy. That entire album is great, but that song is one of the best on it.
If we are about Stella Magna, Zero is also a must hear and Defense Order is personal favorite of mine.
Asterisk battle is better, but I like this one too.
Fun fact the 4 heroes themes of this game happens within this final boss song. its why the theme changes. In the game it changes dynamically as you get better in the fight, showing the player is causing hope to burst through.
5:48 Tiz (You Are My Hope)
5:59 Anges (Windward
6:07 Edea (Baby Bird)
and 6:17 Ringabell (Vagrant of Love)
to mesh into the Asterisk Boss Theme (That Persons Name is): 6:29
The band btw is called "Linked Horizon" they did vocalized versions of the 4 heroes songs and the mentioned asterisk boss theme
and, they are known mostly for the First Attack on Titan Opening.
