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.

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.

And that… someday… Someday she and I will see each other again. Crazy. I know. Call it a hunch…
It's interesting to me, that most of the sisters sing each other's songs: Zero and Two sing their own, but Five sings One's song, Four sings Five's song, Three sings Four's song and after Two, One sings Three's song. I wonder if that was strictly a compositional choice, or if there's supposed to be meaning.
It how each sister view the world at the end. The reason why Two doesn't change is because she has no growth throughout the whole game since she traumatized herself when she accidentally transformed the orphanage she was taking care off into monsters and had to kill them. I can't remember what 5 4 and 3 view was but I remember One was that she came to realize that she would eventually have to kill her sisters in the end to stop the flower. She was just accepting the inevitable but didn't agree with Zero way of doing it.
@@somina100If I'm not mistaken One agrees with Zero it's just that she doesn't have faith that when all is said and done Zero will end her life so she creates her twin to make sure he carries on the mission if Zero were to fail.

@@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.
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.

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
@@Arkaro_Nerock_8580 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.
I know. If you're going to remove it, then provide or direct to the track with proper credit and rights, or at the very least a placeholder and explanation till the dispute is resolved.
@Velacroix yea The worst part is just getting a grey screen that the video is removed At least leave the title out something, because half the time you don't know what has been removed

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.
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.
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
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.
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'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."
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.
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 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.

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
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
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 (TH-cam doing "magnificent" copyright things as usual), which has dragged me in to this series. Thanks for the upload.
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 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.
6:56 YEARS later hearing this part still gives me ptsd flash backs because of that one hidden note right at the end, and thats all I cam.think of with this part. Complete BS. Otherwise, absolutely loved the boss and this song
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

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
@@Arkaro_Nerock_8580 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.
I feel like i'm re-adding these drakengard songs to my favourites over and over as youtube keeps deleting them
I know. If you're going to remove it, then provide or direct to the track with proper credit and rights, or at the very least a placeholder and explanation till the dispute is resolved.
@Velacroix yea
The worst part is just getting a grey screen that the video is removed
At least leave the title out something, because half the time you don't know what has been removed

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
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.
I see we all gathered here for the same reason
At least recovermy{.}video exists

keep this song a secret?
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?

@@utsuro1165 I see, I did not notice that. But it still doesn't really answer the question.
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.
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 song is both beautiful and haunting at the same time I love it.
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."
Gimmicks aside the song is a banger and so is this game. (The story)

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
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

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?_
- Zero?
- Yeah?
- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
Game over xD
Yoko Taro laughing from the distance.
zero is still alive somewhere in another world
I listen to this and I can still hear the sound of the rings shattering...
I started playing Drakengard 3 just because of this Song. I learnt that this song is final boss.
The real boss was the bloody camera
I have almost played through this entire game and thanks to this song I will forever have almost played through this entire game...
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 ;)
The boss fight where the camera screws you over multiple times.
I can still see the notes in my head whenever I listen to this
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
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
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.
the moment we enter Three phase
nightmare hit you really hard until the end of song
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 😂
After 2 days trying, I finally beat this game!!! This song is now stuck in my head.

Ive listened to this for hours and have now just realised there was vocals
Who else had to zero's first word as the indicator for the last beat/note?
Mesmerising
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!
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 (TH-cam doing "magnificent" copyright things as usual),
which has dragged me in to this series.
Thanks for the upload.
Its so beautiful
My cat loves this song and everytime I play it, his ears perk up and he tries to find it
Ah, yes. Gotta love PTSD with this one.
Drakengard 3 is one of the best games I've played in my entire life.
This voice is not Eir Aoi, it Emi Evans
I never play at this game but this ost is perfect !
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
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.
this song always reminds me of how i fight with the camera in this game
Ah yes
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

Purely majestic. Yoko Taro always picks good singers
I can still hear the chimes....
What a nice song, i wonder when it will play in the game
It reminds me of elfen lied lovely and terrifying, calming and climatic. Nice music, though.
6:56 YEARS later hearing this part still gives me ptsd flash backs because of that one hidden note right at the end, and thats all I cam.think of with this part. Complete BS. Otherwise, absolutely loved the boss and this song

When I first saw the full fight on TH-cam, I was like “WTF is this bologna?!”
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
While reading the lyrics, it tells about the Black Flower
