I just imagine the fiercest warrior in a kingdom telling a companion why he won't accept anything but a complete victory on the battlefield as he heads to arm himself.
there was a comment on previous reup that said something along the lines that this song makes you feel powerful yet anxious as you know whatever time you take to prep for battle- your allies are dying; and it describes the song really good
I once played this song and there was an ad at the beginning of some weight transformation thing showing before and after pictures of people in T-poses like a weapon select screen... I had no idea it was an ad and my audio was on mute, so I felt so confused like, "is this a game? Like for real, am I getting trolled?" and then I saw it was an ad and started dying laughing lol
@@dogmendogmenmust be your computer then, the only time DoD1 lagged on me was dying while on the ground. everywhere else it ran on-par or faster than original hardware
Given the context of the game with these menacing strings I can't imagine this as anything but as something a Middle Ages version of a school shooter (Caim) would play in his head as he was plotting his rampage.
yo singing this non-stop since yesterday. I started playing the game and went from "gameplay is lame, going to drop it" to "this is so remarkably bad that I'm loving every single aspect of this" after 20/30 minutes
@@spunchbob6520 I totally forgot to reply months ago, my bad. not only I got past chapter 6, I even got to ending A (with my patience being shattered into microscopic fragments) but I refused to pursue and unlock the other 4 endings. at the start I got used to the lame and hyper-redundant gameplay, but then... my god. the more I played, the more it became just frustrating, pointless, repetitive and - most of all - unfunny. I've seen the other endings through youtube and ofc I've been obsessed over the infamous E one (I even ended up playing DoD3 and reading the novellas, in these later months). overall, I just think the DoD experience is mandatory for Yoko Taro fans, despite it being half a mess. experiencing the first game, even in its paroxysmal nature, it's great for understanding how this crazy genius works. so, even though I left the game 75% unfinished and found myself cursing it multiple times, I can say it's a worth experience (and yes, partly thanks to the insane soundtrack :P)
@@siddhartino you are so much braver than me. i like to think of myself as someone who can withstand shitty gameplay as long as everything else is good, but my god, chapter 6 is where the game broke me. it probably helped a little bit that i couldn't hear the soundtrack most of the time, but getting spitroasted by 2 undead soldiers that hacked off half of your health in 2 hits made me quit the game. yoko taro reaching mainstream success with automata is unsurprising because his other games were huge slogs. despite everything about the game, i really hope it gets a remake one day.
@@spunchbob6520 yeah, both DoD1 and Dod3 need remakes, but it sadly won't happen (not for now, at least) and if they're going to make a lazy work as happened with Replicant ver. etc. then I'm not even going to buy them. and I agree regarding everything else: Automata is the only Yoko Taro game that not only it's fun to play (stupid-ass side quests and run B aside); it's even the only one whose overall narrative is well-built and executed throughot the story. or, at least, it's easier to comprehend without having to check ton of extra material (and I'm saying this as a big Nier Gestalt/Repl. lore lover...)
Long story short, I used to listen to a drum & bass tune called November, I've been looking for it for years, I've just found out it uses this song as a sample, if anyone could help find it, that would be great, if not, fair enough.
This is the most evil twisted thing I've ever heard. The music and the game itself are possibly the greatest representation of a horrific apocalypse, tragedy par excellence. Truly special. The feeling all of this elicits can't be too far off from the experience of a paranoid schizophrenic. The horror of existence in musical form. If a composer made this in the times when the church was strong, I find it hard to imagine they wouldn't have been burned at the stake on accusations that they were in league with the devil himself.

The main melody comes from a track from the Juuni Kokuki anime (The 12 Kingdoms). I can't find the track online but it plays at the end of episode 6 (which you can find on youtube easily). The scene it plays in is the main character indulging in her bloodlust much the same as Caim from Drakengard. The sample seems like a very deliberate choice.
@@beef4468 Well, you were 100% on the money with that (right at 22:41 of episode 6), but I'm not sure how Aihara grabbed the rights to this song from another contemporary Japanese/North Korean composer that he doesn't seem to have collaborated with. I'll have to look into this anime and if there's any info on its soundtrack or its specific songs that might be unavailable to us westerners.
@@topshotta4258As for Götterdämmerung, I had already been wanting to sample the Ring cycle for my own personal work, but considering Wagner decided to make it 15 hours long, I've been putting it off.
