#BravelyDefault #SerpentEatingTheHorizon #Reaction
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.
Hooray for Dyslexia!!
Oh and, there's a reason why the first part of the song loops, but I'll leave the explanation to someone else because I suck at it hahah.
@@JessesAuditorium The live version is worse than the normal ost IMO.
@@lastverse9598 🧢
@@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.
Revo apparently used Brave
@@luclair2 lmao
Revo is a BEAST, no doubt.
Dude sounds like a chad, running round like that.
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
Edea's theam isn't played on a clarinet. It's a straight Saxs or soprano saxophone. It's one of the smaller saxs out there.
Also, it's not a flute. It's called a tin whistle, which is smaller than a flute but bigger than a piccalo.
@@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
That part makes me smile every single time
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.
Glasses with accordion... and composer...
not worthy
My favorite factoid of this game was that Square-Enix was shocked that their customer base buys Turn-based RPGs.
imagine
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)
@@Nirual86 I think it's only BD2 that's on pc
@@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
@@TheMaxinR right, that was I meant to say. I'll correct it
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.
This is slightly different from watching a JDK Band video, I mean... totally different energy :)
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.
I LOOOOOVE the part when all the main cast's themes play one after another. Gives me goosebumps every time.
This song absolutely melted my face off my skull
@@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.
I agree, the same happened to me ✌️
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. :)
Yess that part's amazing. Always loved Ringabel's theme 'Love's Vagrant' which is the one with the accordion.
How he missed the old man setting everything on fire with a mother huggin PAN FLUTE XD
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
*BRAVELY not Braverly* - Get some sleep kids.
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.
I was blown away but because of the nostalgia. Goddamn that game was amazing.
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.
th-cam.com/video/FdWGxYApAhY/w-d-xo.html Sharing this interpretation of "Mythos" from the 6th Horizon, Moira, and the "Message of 11 Letters" from Roman, the Fifth Horizon.
Up.
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.
They also featured Marty Friedman in this concert, he was great 😊
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.
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.
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
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.
One of the most underrated gems ever. The Bravely games are a tier all their own.
my god revisiting this still gives me such joy. i loved your reaction to the accordion lmao
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…
_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.
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!
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
Man Sound Horizon kills it every time. All of their stuff is very theatrical and epic with classical and modern instruments included all the time
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.
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.
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.
YESS THE LIVE VERSION! It has everything I love in a song I swear it makes me so happy.
It's the live version?? Hell yes!
Maybe ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Thanks to BloodTrinity for the request!
Here are the songs mentioned in this video;

Have a nice day :)
The unseen reaction was due to Japanese crowds being very reserved and respectful of their performances.
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.
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.
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
The guy on the accordion is Revo, the composer himself
stylish looking mofo
True final boss theme!
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.)
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.
this song just kept getting better and better as it went along, so good!
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!!
I've never heard of this game in my life but this is one of the greatest boss themes ever made
the most badass final boss theme
This is so over the top, it's perfect
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
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.
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
Also the guy with the luscious locks shredding on the accordion. That's Revo the music writer for this game!
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!
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.
The group in this concert is "Linked Horizon". They also did the ost for Bravely Default 2 and most of the intros for Attack on Titan with concert versions as well.
If you like choices between OST and Live-Performance, I can greatly recommend Ultima, played by the Eorzean Symphony. th-cam.com/video/Tv_klDrSwMU/w-d-xo.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.
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 😎
My God, this got my blood pumping...!
it feels really satisfying to see a video on a recomendation you made :D
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
HAHAHA I literally \m/ at the same time as you jesse when the accordion showed up ! Awesome suggestion, now its time to get the game !
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.
Never played thoe games but sountrack is a banger.
One of my favorite videogame music
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
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 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
Evil Flight is my favorite by far, but Serpent Eating the Horizon is dope as hell too.
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/
Nothing beats Bravely Default's final boss theme.
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
And the game is even better.
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)
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!
No clue what this game is but OH MY GOD IT'S SOOOO GOOD
-Composer-san, how many instruments and genres do you want in this piece?
-Yes
i finally beat the game so im watching this
The section with the flute, violin, accordion, and tenor saxophone solos are actually the themes of the four main characters mashed together.
I love that the special themes for all four characters made their way in the song!
The only song played live that hypes me up like that is from the video "MOTOI SAKURABA LIVE CONCERT/Cutting Edge of Notion", such a classic.
this basically is the ost lol
This song is the most Uematsu non Uematsu song I have ever heard.
"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.
これはメタルのライブではありませんものね。
コンサートです。
そしてRevoのファンは、Revoの望む演出を理解していますし、それを行うことを楽しんでいます。
だから、このゲームのストーリー中に現れたアイドルのライブをイメージした曲が演奏されて歌手により歌われた時は、日本のアイドルライブの観客のように振る舞いました。
客席で静かに座っていた淑やかな女性が、次がその曲だと知ると、立ち上がり履いていたハイヒールを脱ぎ捨てて、飛び跳ねる準備をしたそうですよ。
Please listen to God Shattering Star and Apex of the World from Fire Emblem Three Houses.
REVO truly is godlike
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
I haven't seen this live but this was a very cool video, I played Bravely Default (didn't finish it), the music is stellar (much to be expected from Square Enix as a publisher)
This song makes me feel like I'm clinging to the edge of my seat.
Loving these videos dude! Would love to hear your feedback on some Destiny music. Journey and Regicide are two of my faves!
Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P), the producer/director for FFXIV wore a Children of Bodom Follow the Reaper t-shirt during a Letter From the Producer Live (patch notes, discussion of upcoming changes, just general communication with the player base. You know... stuff no other major companies really do anymore, if ever) back in... February I think. It was a hint at one of the new jobs - Reaper - being released in the upcoming expansion. He has done that many times, with a notable one from a while back being a Spider-Man movie t-shirt to hint at Samurai. How does Spidey equal Samurai you ask? The early 2000s movies were directed by Sam(u) Raimi...
You're killing me
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
I highly recommend any boss themes from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance they're fun as hell
Coming this week
Oh hell yes I love hearing what people think of this one because they always look like they saw a ghost and because the song is just insane
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.
I'd love to see you do a first listen to some Sound Horizon songs, Revo heads it and Linked Horizon, though SH is his original stuff. Marchen, Moira and Roman are some of his most popular ones because of the story elements, but he pulls in so much from other inspirations like history and music of the countries he's setting each album in.
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
bravely default games has amazing songs indeed, maybe a game and a song that hasn't been requested is kingdom hearts 3: vector to the heavens (data battle theme) it's a more fast paced rock/metal version of the originall vector to the heavens but it's just so good
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)
This sounded to me like Nightwish meets Final Fantasy. Pretty cool stuff
