Bravely Default - That Person's Name Is | Reacting To Video Game Music!

[@jedor988]

When a song starts off at 100 instead of ramping up, you can just see that cheeky smile in Jesse's face.

[@sildrex]

This game holds a special place for me purely because of the effect its success had with Square Enix. The game is a very unapologetic homage to old school final fantasy, especially FFV with it's crystal-focused storyline and job system. It performed far better (specifically in the west) than Square ever thought it would which resulted in them saying something like "oh, people still like classic style turnbased combat JRPGs?" to which the majority of the FF fanbase all screamed in frustration "Nobody EVER said we didn't like it anymore!" so yeah, this is the game that did its job good enough that it at least somewhat disabused Square of the notion that the world had somehow outgrown turnbased RPGs. Game's great by the way. Good story, fun characters, the music has this wonderfully bombastic pace to it and the combat is varied enough with the jobs that it does what I really love in an RPG where if you know what your doing you can utterly break the game over your knee with some ridiculous character builds. The one thing this game does wrong is it messes up its pacing at the last minute for just long enough that it's a fairly common story to hear people ended up dropping the game right before it breaks out of that slow part of the story.

[@rezahydra]

Same story here. I always found 5 and 6 to be the best ones, and my first ever was Asano’s own remake of 3 on the DS. I had nearly given up on Square and FF when I found Bravely after trying Crystal Chronicles on Wii. This game, and now with BD2 the series, has proven to me that old-school FF can be outdone at its own game. Why 2’s story certainly leaves some to be desired, leaning more into a character focus, the gameplay of it and Default 1 are 10/10.

[@lol0999]

I thought I was mostly done with turn based combat, played a lot of JRPGs and didn't think you could make them that interesting anymore. My perspective has completely changed after playing Bravely Default, the job system is amazing and the brave and default system creates this very dynamic combat.

[@nekochiyu5060]

That person's name is "fear" btw. In the vocal version the lyrics talk about how fear tries to worm it's way into you, claiming how it loves you like no other and how facing it with friends despite both of your legs are shaking is true courage

[@AurangeJuice]

I would highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys turn-based JRPGs, as well as VGM enthusiasts in general. So much of the gameplay is about the music itself, almost as if it's a character in the game in its own right

[@vahlok1426]

Also, people who do play; don't give up on the game in the climax. It may feel like it goes on forever, but it will be worth it.

[@leakypeach6250]

@@vahlok1426 That game's climax is so excruciatingly long that I wouldn't blame anyone for throwing in the towel. But those who stick with it are rewarded so...

[@zecendia]

@@leakypeach6250 Honestly while it has been a while since i played the game,i remember that it was really only the first loop that dragged on for me (and also happens to be the one where you can really just skip the optional stuff),the second loop´s optional bosses offer enough dialogue differences to actually make it fun,and that carries on for the following ones aswell.

[@LordlyWeeb]

@@leakypeach6250 People make that part of the game sound so bad though. Personally, it's my favorite part. You get to do cool optional bossfights that let you learn more about the boss characters. And if you don't want to, that section of the game only takes like an hour and a half to get through if you just beeline the main bosses

[@VelvetAura]

Totally agree, you can make that section of the game everyone complains about a really quick process if you want to. There's little rewards and new bits of character interaction if you take your time, but if you get tired of it the whole affair doesn't take much longer than an hour to get through.

[@rezahydra]

A fun fact about the “ring” you pointed out is quoted by Revo in official interviews to be “fairy dust,” and as seen in most of his stuff with Linked Horizon in general and from those same interviews, it’s one of his favorite musical flourishes.

[@MasterZebulin]

Lol, "fairy dust". 😆

[@rezahydra]

@@MasterZebulin it’s genuinely very charming considering this game but he calls it that for everything he uses it for wildly. Even AoT, when he composed for that. His style is something you can easily pick up on thanks to it as well because it’s so uniquely used.

[@CrowQuark]

For a 3DS game it had such amazing music, absolutely loved this game

[@JessesAuditorium]

I'm sorry did you say 3DS

[@CrowQuark]

@@JessesAuditorium yep Bravely Default was a 3DS game which is crazy being how amazing the ost is

[@JessesAuditorium]

@@CrowQuark i have no words

[@derekjones5808]

@@JessesAuditorium Haha yeah, its absurd that they got this quality out of the 3DS soundchip.

[@MethodFire01]

@@derekjones5808 Pretty sure the 3DS was manufactured to have higher specs than a PSP, and those can play orchestral or hard rock tracks no problem.

[@BlakeLyle]

Ah, yes. Revo is a being that knows no chill, and the insanity of the violin crescendo at the end of the loop is unmatched.

[@NakuruKouChannel]

YEAAAAAAAAHHHH I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TRACK!!! Thank you!!!! If you have the time, please check out the live concert as well! This track iirc was performed with vocals - Revo, the composer, was the vocalist for it. They performed it live twice, once vocalized in 2012 (the original concert where they performed Serpent Eating the Horizon live, the one you watched last time) and one instrumental version during the Attack on Titan themed concert in 2017. Revo wrote opening tracks for that anime from 2013 to 2018, and that's why Bravely music was performed during that concert. In fact Revo had 2 bands in name, one is Sound Horizon where he made songs telling stories he created, and one is Linked Horizon which he uses in collaborative projects such as Bravely Default OST, anime OST and such. The actual members are usually the same, only differ in vocalists lol If you want the instrumental version of this track during the 2017 concert it can be found here kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnnOqIyHlq6ag5o The vocalized version is here, at 39:25 in a 2-hour concert video just in case my link doesn't work properly kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHXVoWOhYpZkoq8 Megadeth ex-member Marty Friedman also performed in the 2012 concert! Sorry I'm nerding out in your comment section lol, I'm really glad you enjoy Revo's music as much as FFXIV music. Looking forward to see more of your reaction videos!

[@Torenhire]

This game had such the coolest soundtrack. My first time playing I gave up because of how long a portion of the game just slogged on and on, but went back a year or two ago and pushed through it and man, worth it. Music is crazy good live, too.

[@samsolitaryroll]

Idk if someone already mentioned it but Ill say it here. You feel like the whole thing is solo section because that lyrical part actually have lyric. In one of their Bravely Default concert Revo is actually singing over it.

[@guiltygamerxrd]

Oh, this song was my favorite to play in Theatrhythm Curtain Call on 3DS. Haven't played this game yet but the OST is amazing.

[@segafan1316]

Revo is the kind of guy to make every single batrke theme feel like a final boss theme, and I believe it culminates with Those Who Seek Stars In The Night from Bravely Default 2 (not Second). That song is just pure adrenaline from beginning to end

[@Vorloru]

I have a hard time not loving a song where a violin just shreds.

[@AdmiralAlfredo]

If you like Bravely Default you'll definitely love some Octopath Traveler music! A great song to check out would be "For Treasure (Tressa) + Decisive Battle II"

[@masdrionalt]

Since so many people in the comments here seem to appreciate "Eyes That Gaze into the Nexus ~ The Ones Who Gather Stars in the Night", I'm gonna have to throw in a voucher for it too. By far one of my favorite final boss themes in any game I've experienced.

[@Jaekization]

YES

[@Amitlu]

@@Jaekization Thirded. The 7minute version is the best upload.

[@Superflydanfry]

I remember always thinking how hard this soundtrack went for folks who would mostly ever only hear it through their 3ds speakers

[@VelvetAura]

Cool thing about this track- a feature of these games is that they usually involve a fairy companion in some way, which are important to the plot. I believe the rain stick in this song is meant to represent your fairy companion in BD1, Airy, flying around the party as they fight the Asterisks.

[@agafaba]

Now we have to make him work his way through a few songs before going back and re-listening to serpent eating the ground

[@gamerhero9559]

Bravely Default has the best OST in all three games! BD2 also have the best boss themes.

[@painoman5083]

Soooo glad you're coming back to Bravely Default music, That Person's Name Is is a classic! If you end up wanting to look for more Bravely songs, I'd suggest Eyes That Gaze Into the Nexus ~ The Ones who Gather Stars in the Night or Battle of Providence. Both are the final boss themes from Bravely Default 2 and Bravely Second, and they almost make Serpent Eating the Ground look small lol

[@mr.alloughani]

Anything by Revo is a masterpiece

[@mr.mystere4999]

This game's soundtrack is FANTASTIC!! It's one of the very few flawless ones. And to think that this was released onto the 3DS in 2014. Or 2015, don't remember which. The game does have a direct sequel named Bravely Second. Now, Bravely Default 2 is not a direct sequel. It's a whole new story, and this one is on the Switch. Bravely Second's soundtrack was not composed by the same person, and it shows in a few places. But there is one track that stands out. "Asterisk Warfare". it's definitely worth a listening to.

[@proudlarry8225]

Oh yeah, this plays normally when you're fighting someone important, usually a fallen or misguided hero or leader of some kind, or just a total badass. The picture is the main character actually, not the boss.

[@kereminde]

"You shall not pass."

[@grima4734]

I actually was struggling to choose between this song and the one that I requested a couple days ago. Nice reaction! I'm glad you liked it 🔥 And yes, there's a live version and it's a banger too!

[@ValkyrieLenneth92]

If you liked the two Bravely Default songs so far i really recommend checking out Eyes That Gaze into the Nexus ~ The Ones Who Gather Stars in the Night, which is the final boss theme of Bravely Default 2. In my opinion it is one of the best pieces of music ever made.

[@silvermintle]

5:06 "What a journey." You have no idea. You really, really don't. This game is absolutely incredible and an absolute gem. It amazes me that you can feel and deduct what you do from listening just to where this theme plays. This game is as you said, a journey, a ride I will never, ever, get off.

[@zayne50]

That violin man 😩

[@heika_206]

I'm very selective when it comes to music but I can easily say that the 90% of the OSTs in Bravely Default are real gems.

[@Lamasis2]

You should watch the live concert. And which songs, Land of Immortality, Ballad Moving Toward Hope and Conflict's Chime. Honestly I recommend the whole soundtrack, or just play it. I didn't even knew this game existed until a friend lend it to me because he knew that I'm a huge JRPG fan. Loved it, I finished evrything in the game and bought the collectors edition and the soudtrack afterwards. It felt like one of the old PSX or PS2 JRPGs but with a ton of QoL improvements, still on of my alltime favourite games.

[@Gsworld1990]

I know you listened to serpent with the live version but they did do they do a live concert with most the soundtrack, even with some songs vocalize

[@hmgirlpopuri5819]

Definitely check out 'Love's Vagrant' from Bravely default. It's one of the 4 protagonist theme's and they go in hard with an accordion.

[@DM13972]

The composer of this soundtrack Revo, is also responsible for the Attack on Titan soundtrack and the opening songs. (Seasons 1-4) When you know what to look for you can really hear it, those triumphant notes are uncanny.

[@erufailon4723]

Not the AoT soundtrack, just the opening songs for seasons 1-2 and season 3 part 2. (And the ending song for season 3 part 1.) The AoT soundtrack itself was composed by Hiroyuki Sawano (joined in season 4 by Kohta Yamamoto). Another great composer, even if I myself prefer Revo.

[@DM13972]

@@erufailon4723 You're absolutely right, I have no idea why the wires crossed in my mind like that. I should have remembered that AoT tracks have that bizarre naming convention that Sawano uses so much.

[@Mijiroth]

Considering the violin is Agnes' main instrument (the MC), you could say the guitar is the enemy and they're really battling. Please tell me someone recommended Love's Vagrant to you! My personal fave from the OST and since you mentioned you like the accordion you might enjoy it.

[@Rc3651]

I love this game and its soundtrack. It's a modern take on turn based JRPGs and has a bunch of great modern QoL changes that are a breath of fresh air. Prior to this Square-Enix decided that turn based RPGs were dead so they largely abandoned them, but they decided to fund a little game called Bravely Default. It sold like gangbusters and became so profitable that the company issued a public apology for prematurely declaring turn based games dead haha. They've funded more of them since then which is great! Also love the Street Fighter EX: Plus Alpha track! I think it's Guile's stage, something Sunset? I really adored that game as a kid

[@arcshadow88]

You should look the Live concerts of this game's music, all the the tracks are great. They hit justas good as the FFXIV music hits... love it.

[@renshipeter157]

This is the primary boss fight music in bravely default 1. You mentioned the Violin and guitar going back and forth like they are battling and that’s very intentional. You should check out the lyrical version also by REVO. It really brings to light the epic back and forth between you the player and the boss

[@dailyrip]

This jam is all gas pedal!

[@diemoslurancard4629]

Nice reaction! If you plan to do more bravley songs I'd suggest Wicked Flight and Serpent eating the horizon, those go extremely hard

[@Rusaarules]

Bravely Default 1 has one of the better soundtracks of the Bravely games. You'll enjoy the others popular songs on the track. Go for the live performances. They're amazing, too.

[@brockmaloney4050]

Correction Eye’s that Gaze into the Nexus

[@Hadaron]

“Eyes that Gaze into the Nexus ~ Ones Who Gather Stars in the Night” has such a long name but it’s a long song with like 10 leitmotifs so it balances out.

[@aeternusvotum]

More Revo/Bravely Default ♥ If you ever have the time to check out the vocalized version with sub (in your free time would also be great), the lyrics are *beautiful*! (and I do like the lower octave on some lines more than the violin version here) The character in the picture is one of the main character's, so luckily not the boss, that would be dangerous somehow if that was her theme xD But yeah, as I have shown in the Discord, don't let me start talking about Revo or I'll never stop~

[@kedolan4992]

I don't know if they ever ported it or not (or if the port was any good if they did), but this was a game on the 3DS, and it's a fantastic throwback turn-based JRPG love letter of a game. If you liked the old turn based FF games, like the SNES/PS1 era games, you WILL like this game, period.

You can find the original and Bravely Second on 3DS, and Bravely Default II on Switch. Unfortunately I don't think they've been released on anything else.

[@Ilwenray85]

The only thing that messes with my enjoyment of some games, is when you see the plot twist coming from the start. After that, the game then turns into a question of how will they deliver the plot twist, and sometimes the things you think in your head are more interesting that what they deliver. I liked Bravely Default, but I think they could have done way better in some key points.
