The way they designed the sound progression felt on purpose. It starts classical, mixes more modern and then goes full modern at the very end. Like how he said “I will use the past, to judge the future.”
A little fun fact for you: Neuvillette's dripmarketing has the phrase "He who looks down on all that are haughty" This phrase is from the Bible, in the verse of Job 41:34, this verse is about the Leviathan. You can see where hoyoverse is going with this
General Mahamatra Gloam here to explain the music. Basically, it's just a motif. The F#, A, B, C#, B, Bb, B is the motif that's being constantly repeated to make up the melody of his trailer. every time you hear it, it's either being played by a different instrument or being backed by a different instrument which sort of does the same thing where polyphony is concerned. When it appears towards the middle or the end of the trailer, that motif is being reprised or it's a recapitulation of the same motif. I can't even call it a true variation of the motif because it's literally just F#, A, B, C#, B, Bb, B every time, but on a different instrument. Also Ludex isn't his first name. It's just his title as judge. In lore, his first name is literally unknown to most people in Fontaine because Neuvillette avoids forming close enough connections with people to reveal his first name. And if you think "oh well it doesn't take a very strong connection to reveal your first name" ... yeah ... that's the point. Dude's lonely af.
I love these kind of music where they combined classical/orchestra theme music and modern instruments like on Neuvillette's and Kafka's (Honkai Star Rail). The chord progressions and transitions they used, especially at the end part, are extraordinary even though the lead melody hasn't changed a lot since the beginning.

Same, man. I just love Neuvillette's voice so much. It's the main reason I can't play on Japanese anymore. I main Neuvi and it just sounds wrong not to have the gentle burr of Ray Chase's voice coming from him.
"Iudex" is just another way of saying judge, it's not his name. It's his title. I agree the voice is insanely good tho. It's the first character in this game where I like the english VA more than the japanese one. Also I'm not really into techno but this theme is insane, i guess because of the way they're mixing it with the classical theme, which sounds like merging a baroque style (kinda the same of Fischl's battle theme) with a "Dies Irae" flavor. Hoyomix must stop innovating this much, they're so good at it, it's scary.
Neuvillette isn't his first name, so Iudex might be his first name. And i know it means "the Judge" in latin, but come on that doesn't mean it can't be his name, we've got irl people called Victor, Grace, etc.
Iudex is basically just latin for Judge
Ahhh okay, that makes sense! Thanks for the clarification
It is also his title as the chief justice
Nah, it’s not just you. Ray Chase’s voice is *mwa* chef’s kiss

Like how he said “I will use the past, to judge the future.”
5:32 everyone interrupting Furina to listen to the banger music again 😂
Based behavior
If there was any flaw in Neuvillette’s demo it was definitely Furina opening her mouth 😂
Her revenge was having a certified banger for her demo as well.

That is super cool!
Spoiler:
His constellation is literally Leviathan Judicator
dont forget the famous "let justice run down like water" from Amos 5:24-26
Certainly after 4.1 trailer and then this banger of a demo, Genshin is left in skillful, musical hands.
100%. No reason to fret for the future of the OST!
Frankly I worried about that. Glad to see that my worry was unfounded it seems!
Obsessed with Neuvillette and half of that reason is the VA giving so much life and complexity to his character.
The music was fantastic for this demo! And you're right, Ray Chase voice is a perfect fit for both the character and the theme.
Iudex is a title. It’s like saying “Chief Justice”
7:57 OMG THE CRACKING AT THE END LIKE NO ONE NOTICED THAT
FINALLY SOMEONE HAVING THE SAME REACTION AS ME AT 1:10 AND 3:53 THANK YOUUUUUUUUU
Iudex is a title of his. Not his name.
And I’m still convinced his actual first name is Christian 😂
His real name needs to be Levi...... short for Leviathan 😂
@@mayasharaf1426That would be a bit too uncultured for HoYo’s taste unless they decide to make a joke about the VA himself 😂😂

Thank you, General Mahamatra Gloam for the explanation. Excited to learn that my use of the term "motif" was correct!

Iudex means judge in latin. It's just his title

Iudex, Schadenfreude, denouement... Who needs Babbel if we've got Genshin 😅

Iudex is latin and a title

Seems far more like a title. He hides his real name
Iudex is Latin for the Judge its his titel
I use the jp voices but i like more EN voice in neuvillette
