We must silence the Mother's song once again...
...Goodbye Zero.
AAAAAAAAA ;0;
Why must you do this to me?
Mother is not Zero
Idk about that do you remember the 3 and last ending
@@pablothecoffeelover2551 In the ending that connects to Drakengard 1 Zero is death and so are the other intoners (Except brother One), none of the intoners in D3 are the mother.
everybody gangsta till a giant white god with flower motifs falls from a circle on top of tokyo while bells ring
it's been 17 years and I still have PTSD
Anybody who either played Drakengard, or even watched a playthrough, would have absolutely lost their minds after hearing those bells.
The land of the gods keeps pulling us back in...
Shin megami based games also hafe this kinde stuff
The bells....
*THE FUCKING BELLS*
I just saw a let's play but god did those bell make me scream when I heard them in this fight.
Whoever decided to play both possessed by disease and kaine- salvation in the same fight is so damn brilliant
Mixed with the FF intro theme
Masayoshi Soken :D
@@Driahva yet another god of music that works at SE
And drakengard theme
@@KiddoBestBoi Drakengard's theme is Growing Wings. The bells are just a callback to trauma.
The bell chimes from Drakengard 1, boss looks like Zero from Drakengard 3, kaine theme from nier, right?
Imagine having an option to delete one's maxed out class after the raid to help the rest. Glory to mankind!
I mean the boss is clearly 2p with a Red Girl popping out of her head.
But I did at 1st thought it was Zero or maybe even Kainé.
@@skylarnovak6432 What do you mean clearly 2p? She looks like Zero to me, especially with the cloth covering the eye where the flower was.
@@baliche it's literally 2b/p's model with a red girl bursting out of her head
@@baliche the long hair and the flower does make her look like Zero but it's 2P with the red girl head on the side and the False Idol's hair. When you kill her, you get to see her face better and you can see it then :D
Guys, 2P IS zero. Dont you see?
My soul plummeted from my body when the chimes started.
Same those chimes got us trained to fear them.
and then it was forcefully reinstered into your body by that office building x'D
Plummeted almost as hard as Caim off Angelus's back towards Tokyo Tower.
@@historiabyssus Too soon XD
"You thought it was me, NieR but it was I, Drakengard"
"The pictures are exactly the same"
GODDAMN TARO!!!!
What's the difference?
@@1Nostrand1 None they're the same series
@@1Nostrand1 That with the NieR games you get depression, but there's still hope at the end of the tunnel. With Drakengard, you know your hopes are gonna be utterly crushed.
In its native timeliness, so devoid of hope, this...THING...was invincible. Its influence meant there was no happy ending, or at least not one that could be achieved easily, or completely.
But this time, it's different.
This is a reality of fantasies that have yet to be final, a reality where mad gods can be thwarted by those with the resolve and skill to protect what they cherish.
Here, a happy ending is possible. Here, the bleak song can be silenced.
Here...
You can win.
This song plus the complete lack of victory fanfare after the battle.
I haven't played Drakengard or Nier but this just... it hit me hard.
ive done this 4x so far, and last night was the first time i realized there was no victory fanfare at the end
Hope you give it a try, they hit emotional chords in a way other games can't :)
Yoko is known for things not always feeling like pure wins but it's still something of a finality. It's a weird part of his story telling.
There aren't many trials or raids without a victory fanfare and they hit the hardest. From the top of my head, there also is Edda.
@@galloviking4766 yeah
The WoL canonically sings a duet to defeat a false watcher
Or is it false? Is this how a Watcher is made? Is this the first one? THE FUCKING SEED!
I mean, Junichi Suwabe can sing if it is canon WoL
i headcanon that the WoL is singing Kaine's theme, nuff said :'3
@@sansfangirl4life439 ... Well fuck, it's time to level bard again even though rngsus hates me.
@@blasterman1000 you can do it! owo>
I kinda felt this was a sort of love letter from Taro to the early days fans of Drakengard. I was hoping for this to happen, but didn’t really believed it. But then it did, and it was marvelous.
I lived for the music, when I heard those bells ringing I went crazy. Would have loved an inclusion of Drakengard 3’s theme.
I think the mechanics, the exact graphic for the song rings from DoD3, and the fact the final boss is called "Her Flower" is more than enough.
She has an attack that is called the final song. Tbh i have never beaten the final boss in d3, farthest i got was the screen went black and i was so happy then i heard one final ring spawn oh god fuck yoko taro.
Honestly, he still constantly references those games. The logic virus in automata is basically red eye disease, the rain of salt eluded to the grotesquerie queen crumbling and causing white chlorination syndrome, eve had a cult of thre watchers symbol on his chest. Then there's all the connections in the first nier (I still feel halua is essentially a failed skinless watcher)
@@OsnosisBones The Logic Virus is canonically Androids copying the Red Eye disease actually, and majority of the Nier MagiTech were all based on the research humans had that are related to the Queen Beast, Angelus and Caim.
I was not expecting to remember Zero in this fight, but fuck was it a good fight
The real battle was happening the entire time. The "bosses" and "mechanics" were the distraction as the music itself tore away at your HP.
Just did this raid for the first time. When this phase kicked in I didn't realize what song was about to start playing. And then that harp melody kicked in and i felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest. I didn't think I would end up sobbing actual tears for the entirety of that fight. I'm glad that the mechanics were relatively simple because tears were making it REALLY hard to concentrate, haha.
I said pretty much that in the party chat
I completely lost it on discord when the main theme kicked in. It's really a gorgeous piece.
Haha I couldn't play day 1, but my fc told me that they were excited to play through it w/ me, knowing how much I love Drakengard/Nier. We too talked on discord through it all. When I heard the bells, and we were warped to the city, I screamed on the mic. 🤣
My ptsd kicked in when the theme started
Relatable. We were doing it and I yelled "IT'S THE THEME HOLY COW!"
Then I got a vuln stack (tank privileges)
Same feeling when a friend of mine and I saw the transition cutscene into this fight and we saw the chlorinated Tokyo down below. Hype and chills at the same time.
Is this... the land of the gods?
TOKYO
What is this, this thing? WHAT CAN WE DO?
@@Yukito746 it might be one and the same...
thanks JSDF for dooming the mankind....
@@valravhknight1914 I´ll never forgive the Japanese!
Damn hearing Kainé's theme again...hits real hard, i can't wait for the remake to be released
The violins are making it so divine, it’s perfect
That beginning gave me shivers.. freaking queen beast holy moly...
This song literally made me cry during the raid....I'm so satisfied on how this finished out
Thank god, I wasn't the only one. My bf was like "what is wrong with you, lol?" I don't know! It's just beautiful T.T
@@B3R_B0T a beautifull song bro i remenber it
I’m not familiar with Drakengard, and I really wish I was, but when this played, something about this made me realize that this fight, this song, this entire alliance raid, was something special. Something that, to me at least, demanded respect, not through bombastic motions, but through its solitary nature. This song especially feels…lonely, for lack of a better word. And while a lot of what was presented went over my head, I can tell this meant so much.
You can always learn about drakengard, it's never too late
This song absolutely encompasses everything you'd ever need to know about Drakengard. With the exception of D2, every Drakengard ending always has something horrendous occur despite winning in the end. There is always someone abandoned in the end, either the main character or someone close.
@@mortum_potato6124 but this time the machine life forms, YoRHa and the watchers where stoped before is too late, but in the end even if we win, it doest feel like a victory
@@sophiasantiagogonzalez7608 I really want to play the games, but I can't afford a PS3 atm. Plus Sony is gonna make it impossible to play 3s DLC soon
@@BurningBlood517 pc my dude. Emulate that zhit
Overall pleased with this raid. Nier and Drakengard hommages all throughout. Was a little concerned the final phase would be a rhythm game, bullet hell or visual novel of some sort.
'Jokingly stated' recently announced! NieR Savage raids at the difficulty Yoko Taro wanted things to be
i have weird case of Deja vu and PTSD at the same time during this whole thing.
Fun fact, the Bosses form Her Inflorescence has design points from both Zero from Drakenguard 3 and Kaine from Nier, so the boss itself is a symbolic link of the two settings. Remember while Drakengard is adjescent to Nier, they are set in different universes connected by the flower and the fact god absolutely hates humans.
Kaine is the reincarnation of the intoner Zero.
There's actually a lot hinting that they might take place in the same universe but at different points in time. Considering Accord is a timetraveler but is mentioned in NieR: Replicant (remaster), NieR: Automata, and of course featured in Drakengard 3 it seems a little odd for it to be different "universes"
So rarely does a song bring an actual tear to my eye this is an absolutely beautiful song
I could honestly listen to this all day and never get tired of it. It gives me so many chills.
This fight was insane. When I saw the transition I made everyone in discord jump by shouting "ARE WE ON EARTH!?" took me a minute to see it was fake. But still, a nice a Drakengard reference.
This fight was really terrifying conceptually
Why?
@@davidpower5710 I don't know what he meant but when I saw black/white rings my drakengard 1 and 3 ptsd instantly came, thought they'd go with it balls to the wall instead of how simple it was. Just watch drakengard chapter 13 if you don't mind spoilers
@@PolCoolguythanks for the explanation and ya I seen the bs that us drakongard 3 final boss XD
@@davidpower5710 people keep whining about the camera for that fight bit those idiots also dont realize you're not supposed to be relying on sight... it's a rhythm game in the purest sense. Rely on rhythm and hearing
This area is SHINJUKU「新宿」final battle area for dark guard1＆3
Drakengard 3's fight took place in the Cathedral City, not in Tokyo like Drakengard 1.
@@gbtygfvyg The Cathedral City is implied to be Tokyo. I think it was mentioned somewhere that a modern city just magically appeared in the Drakengard world one day in the same calamity that brought dragons and magic into the world, and that city was Cathedral City/The Imperial Capital.
I remember doing this the first time. Was under so much stress from real life and in game drama in an fc I was in. But I still wanted to finish this last raid so when it came out I snuck online with nobody around. I played awful I died on almost every boss. But when this song hit I don’t know why it just felt so comforting. I got back on track and didn’t die once to this boss.
I didn’t play ff14 for almost a full year after. Thankfully im in a better place now. Im an officer on a great fc I have great friends and a brand new job.
Kinda unrelated and strange way to see this duty but I just had to share I needed to get it off my chest
I can literally feel my heart clench when the main theme violins drop
This fight when you're the only person in your friends group whose played the DrakenNier games: Nobody knows the panic of hearing the Queen Beast and nobody understands why you're too busy crying to rez them. Also lots of screaming "Match the colours!"
The realization of where we were and what was happening didn't immediately click into place. But once the music started playing, ONCE THE BELLS KICKED IN, everything clicked and I completely lost my mind... which wasn't good since the boss was also damned hard, heh. This was an awesome fight and an amazing tribute to both Drakengard and Nier. A raid I will never forget.
Teared up when I realized what was playing ;-;
this is such a beautiful remix ;-;
I got chills down my back the instant I heard the bells
"Shadowbringers will have Nier collaboration for Alliance raids"
FF fans: "Nice, we might even get 2B glam :)"
Every yoko taro fan went "Yeah he's gonna shove Drakengard in there somehow"
Yoko taro "I'm gonna expand the Nier /Drakengard relation, in ANOTHER GAME, A N D N O B O D Y C A N S T O P M E"
is this any different from that time he made the automata prequel a screenplay only in japan lmao
ℑ𝔰 𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔰...𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔬𝔣 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔤𝔬𝔡𝔰?
Most games would have a fight like this scored with something epic, inspiring.
But here, it's a peaceful, hopeful yet tragic song.
Tragic because this won't save the people who died because of the Watchers' machinations.
Hopeful because we're preventing them from doing the same to Eorzea.
Peaceful because this war is being laid to rest, with victory in our hands after years of devastating, tragic failure. So many have fought the fate the Watchers wish on us, and failed, but here, we have finally *won.* No strings attached. And it feels so fucking good.
God bless Square Enix, God bless FFXIV, and God bless Yoko Taro.
Drakengard and Shadowbringers, Watchers and Sin Eaters. It fits.
Blind run :death ppl on floor, beautiful music, ppl desperately figure out the mechanics. This video is gold!!
I just spent literally 2/3 of this fight dead because this music had me straight up sobbing
To be fair, most of the alliance spends that amount dead while us red mages are trying to salvage the fight after the 1st mechanic.
Who decided mjxing the prelude with Kaine is a brilliant genius and a sadistic maniac.
...Yoko Taro, duh.
There... is a whole lot to unpack in this... whoooole raid. I love it!
For those who didnt seen Her Inflorescence model properly, she looks exactly like 2B, but with N2 head emerging from 2B's, the hair might probably be a reference to Zero and the rest is a complete reference to Drakengard 3, even the bells.
This is the best love letter to Drakengard and NieR I ever seen. The only thing they missed the devs is a final message to the player from Accord saying "Thank you for playing!" and shutting down the screen.
The harp... my god is it beautiful
Is summoner supposed to ride their Bahamuth and fly in circles around this boss? :D
nah we leave that up to Estinien and Tiamat, that "Drag-on Dragoon" can probably do better then any player.
To my group I was with I’m sorry it’s hard to tank with tears burning your eyes T~T
Same as heal god damned it Burns my Heart away with sadness
Wasn't expecting such a fun raid with beautiful music, definitely gonna play nier automa in the future
NieR Replicant remake/remaster releases soon, Automata is technically a sequel set thousands of years in the future, but still references it quite a bit
I just now realized the Final Fantasy prelude is mixed in with Kaine’s theme song. Like holy shit.
This is such a beautiful song I love it
this fight would go by faster if 2B learned her rotation smh
Yeah,AND if she had bis,like wth,10k dps?
This has been on my FF playlist for at least half a year now, and I've only just now noticed how the alliance raid in the gameplay video is getting absolutely fucking bodied by the boss.
This Silence is Ours
My favorite is on the high note of the song when people get hit by the train it's hilarious😂😂😂
I'm definitely getting this music roll, one way or another.
Costs like 2 mil on the MB on my server right now, I’m waiting to get my copy as well
@@Riggs0320 after 7 runs i havent got any orchestrions or hairstyles and i wanna scream lol
I went in blind to the whole thing.....
and i was main tank...
do you know how hard it is to MT when you have this many feels going on at once?
*THE WATCHERS, THEY DANCE*
So the red girls became the queen beast?
That's mind blowing!
4:08 oof hahahaha 👏🤣
Edit: there's no machines AOE when pillar fall, damn that's hilarious one
I never played Drakengard 3, but I recently watched a playthrough of it... glad I did. Even just watching that made this far more poignant.
The raid where you fail to suplex the train.
Jesus this music is so chill. Who put this as a boss fight? I end up pure chilling instead of paying attention.
Those four bell chimes added in will TERRIFY anyone who has finished or watched the ending of Drakengard. Yoko Taro is a madman. And to work the FF Main Theme in? Lunacy.
I was sad that we didnt get to see A2, but this finale was great.
Towel at Paradise Beach kept forgetting whether it was Nier, Automata or Drakengard, and I love it.
Did you just say towel at paradise beach
@@anastasiahernandez6575 pretty cold there. it helps to take a pupper's blanket with you, as well.
The bell sound like DoD1 ending E sound effect.
It is.
this raid got me hyped for nier replicant next week
Is this boss represent Drakkengard series? Especially, Zero?
God I was absolutely sobbing last night when I finished the raid, I've always been a Nier/Drakengard fan ever since I played Nier Gestalt back in 2011 so to have this have this be the ending to the raid series is like a gut punch right in the feels! Not to mention the weird feeling of seeing Tokyo being the back drop in a Final Fantasy game, it's was extremely meta to me and really made me think on how Nier's version of earth is to the lore of FF14. We know that all of this is cannon so does that mean what happened on earth in 2003 in ending E of Drakengard did not only effect earth but all though out the universe itself that might had created a butterfly effect and ended up effecting what happened to the ancient Amaurotines and Dragons on the Dragon Star 12,000 years ago?
brb gonna go farm for this music roll so i can make the rest of my FC cry
Original queen beast was creepy and all, but this one gets bonus points for the thicc. Nier Automata sent the frachise towards the right direction :D
is that Zero with Manah conjoined on her head? is this another incarnation of the queen beast and flower as Zero?
That hexidecimal code in her title in the german version of the game is decoded as Groteskerie; let that sink in.
Playing this song while doing house chores.
Wow... you guys got you're ASSES kicked.
*Become as Gods... and so she did.*
red lady fuse with seed of destruction, and then evolve again into giant white flower lady, dear god... all apocalypse from drakendgard and nier become one
Me durring the fight: why am I crying!?
Sooo.. now whats left is a Drakengard series Remastered...and we can all die with "My life was worth it" =^^=
SQUARENIX KILLING ME WHIT EVERY SONG
Square-Enix is quite literally killing raids when the boss throws HQ towards you.

That fucking Seed gives me PTSD.
Just goes to show the watchers have bigger prizes
I’m mind
I started ugly crying when Kaine's theme was playing
Well damn, seems like an alternate mother grotesque as far as character. I'd much rather do this style of fighting :P
Such an ethereal theme, in amidst all this chaos going on with everyone trying to defeat the final boss.
So... What is Her Inflorescence meant to be?
I only know about the Automata references.
There's a number of references to the drakengard lore, so I'm just going to list what I can remember from both phases and which game they're from
Drakengard 1: The seed of destruction(the white sphere, any living being placed is turned into one Watchers), The Watchers(Pure white creatures, allegedly created by God, hellbent on humanity's eradication,The False Idol is one) and Ending E(the 2nd phase area is a color drained recreation of Tokyo from that ending)
Drakengard 3:Zero and The Flower(the protagonist who had a flower growing out of her eye which was also the source of her and her sisters' Intoner abilities, granting them magic through song, Her Infloressence has several flowers growing out of her, several attacks in both phases reference song or music, and second phase has an attack called Her Flower)
Drakengard shared: The Queen Beast( What Her Infloressence is,The final form of powerful watchers or Intoners who succumbed fully to The Flower, the appearance of one heralds the end of the world unless sealed) and The Final Song( How the Queen Beast ends the world. Both games had a final ending that introduced a rhythm game style sequence where you had to cancel out the song represented through rings, missing a single one means game over and both were infamously frustrating)
I might be missing or misremembering somethings but I hope this helps. Drakengard 2 is left out because I haven't played it and I'm unsure if anything there is referenced because if I remember correctly, like dragonball gt, the original creator was not really involved in its development.
@@metabiospark That's still really helpful, I'm just currently watching a walkthrough on Nier Replicant, so I'm sure there'll be more references which make sense. Thank you!
You all like "The music is awesome" and i'm looking at this masterpiece of people dying, again and again, healer with no mana left trying to heal and raise 3 ALLIANCES for them to die just one sec after
Props on them to keep fighting, I would have reset at 1:00 when Square Enix HQ yeeted everyone
I dont play ff14, just want to know from the boss design is that the red girl and 2b fused? Thought it was zero drakengard 3 for a second
The buildings are SQEX offices if you didnt look at them LOL
There seems to be a connection with 2B and Kaine. 🤔
Lovd getting a nier ad on this video
*ran over by a train*
"mmmm what a good music..."
Welcome back, Zero
Is this the land of the gods
This ast really doin the most in this video lmfaoo
Tears
When the phase changed
Me: "Oh so this is where the other Drakengard ending was..."
That's fight is so rough for healers haha speaking of experience haha x)
What is the name of the original OST for the FFXIV melody at 1:59?
That violin string is known as the Final Fantasy Main Theme, or "Prologue" (to match "Prelude"), because it plays at or close to the start of every Final Fantasy game it appears in. Like "Prelude", it first appeared in the very first Final Fantasy game on the NES; where "Prelude" shows up in the introductory cutscene that appears when you boot up the system, "Prologue" shows up in the cutscene that appears after beating Garland and repairing the bridge out of Corneria. Cross that bridge, and the cutscene plays, and with it the main theme.
Since it doesn't show up on system boot and the main menu like "Prelude" does, "Prologue" is marginally less well known, but it's still one of the big recurring leitmotifs of Final Fantasy and the one that gets described as the series' main theme music. Edward in FFIV says that it "captures the essence of all that is Final Fantasy," and Nobuo Uematsu has said that if nothing else, it is the piece of music he wants to be remembered by.
@@InchonDM Thank you :)
