Drakengard 3 - The Final Song | Reacting To Video Game Music!

[@seboulol]

Yoko Taro created the game but the music was composed by Keiichi Okabe, Kakeru Ishihama and Akitaka Tohyama.

[@samuelsalvatore4511]

10:04 "ominous negative energy, cliffhanger, anxiety, confusion, tension" this is literally the best way to describe the ending of this game as well as this song, along with "haunting, freaky" and "tranquil"

[@calebgoodman2076]

You’re analysis actually makes sense here. The game despite its funny moments makes it apparent that there’s no happy ending. Zero is a tortured woman trying to save a world she doesn’t even like in a mission that no matter if she fails or succeeds she dies. Doesn’t help considering the ending that leads to *every Drakengard and Nier game is due to her failing!*

[@TheSylvirr]

The long m,oment of silence and then 'OMINOUS, NEGATIVE ENERGY' That's it. That's the game. All ominous, all the time, even when it's not. Glad you picked up on the Nier similarities, too. Story-wise, this game is indeed a precursor to Nier. Taking note of the 'calmness' of it's sorrow and anger was very on point, too! I appreciate that you listen to the whole thing without stopping and hold your comments to the end, too. I still hope you eventually get to Bloodborne. =3

[@calebgoodman2076]

It was actually made after the original Nier but timeline wise it is indeed a precursor.

"I feel anxious." As you should, Jesse, as you should ...

[@dreambiscuits]

When you said that it didn't resolve happily you are correct. Drakengard and NieR delve deep into the genre of tragedies. Taking a huge inspiration from Nietzsche's Nihilism and Shakpeare. Every game ends with a tragedy and that's why they're my favorite. Your expectations are subverted because we're used to always winning with victory and a happy resolution to our story. Not NieR, Not Drakengard. You seriously need to play them because the devs themselves describe their games as a type of art that can only be experienced by playing games. You're immersed emotionally, enamored by the visuals, the ethereal music and you experience this world in ways that you couldn't in real life. The culmination of all these different types of art creates something unspeakable and esoteric. You can't describe it to others, they have experience this themselves.

[@Weltallgaia]

Very much meant to feel like a music box running down. Considering how yoko taro stories, its pretty accurate for the worlds.

[@XMAXEL]

I just played through Yoko Taro's latest game, Voice of Cards, recently and iirc the 'hidden' ending is actually a happy ending. Surprisingly.

[@SorenKisamora]

This is heavily why i'll always like Drakengard and Nier. I have a very Deep Place in my heart for what i call "Beautiful Tragedies" or "Beautiful Disaster" types of experiences. I Think often times Games are afraid to head down such paths for their Stories, or are too afraid to let their players take in such emotions, and being able to be part of them make for very Ingrained Memories for me.

[@novustalks7525]

And that's why ending E of automata doesn't work

[@FarbrorBaku]

The tempo transitions are so fucking slick, just builds and builds with a crazy amount of layers and then all of a sudden the downtempo hits followed by the sloooow harrowing death of the song, it's just amazing, i played though the game once eight years ago and i still listen to this constantly, it is a rollercoaster of emotions.

[@Volkaru]

Honestly I feel he should've watched the actual fight, instead of just the track. Since they're so intrinsically linked. Plus the interpretive dance is a cool departure from most things you'd normally see.

[@leroyjenkins2030]

Drakengard 3's OST is such a beautiful mess. I highly HIGHLY recommend you check out This Silence is Mine from D3 as well! Also, Merry Christmas! Thanks for the bulk release present! Edit: fwi, Yoko Taro is the game director. The composer for Nier and this song is Keiichi Okabe. They work together a lot.

[@Hadaron]

Ah, the seven minute long rhythm game where, if you fail ONCE, you start over… everyone’s favorite.

[@JohnDCrafton]

Yoko Taro isn't the composer, he's the series creator. Also NieR and Drakengard are in the same game world.

[@nestorreyes126]

Yes but no, Drakengard and Nier are different universes but they crossed one time at the ending E of Drakengard. So Drakengard 2 follows the ending A of Drakengard 1, and NieR follow the ending E of Drakengard 1 in another (our) universe, were the magic don't exist until that connection

The Final Song. This is the what the death of six goddesses, the end of six melodies, sounds like.

[@1AM1AM]

so happy you reacted to this song and yes, the song its ominous and its supposed to give you that kind of feeling. Here's the lyrics that (with a lot of research and guidance from the wiki) i was able to come up with, it was difficult because its in a broken japanese. Sharing this to give you an idea of why this song its supposed to give that sense of dread and hope it helps: The Black Flower is the voice which abides in this broken eye Where its remained since its creation awaiting its purpose When dizziness is confined, time goes by. So strong and pure, are these white claws. Looked through, always For I too shall disappear someday. This wandering soul that cries and howls, even now Sleep, I shall give thee death These low-lifes who went along with the sacrifice shall be cursed. A harmless song of ruin which creates a monster that harms itself and others. The Black Flower is the voice I hear always in bloodied prayers The Black Flower is the song that shall ring out the day of repentance in which all shall disappear...

[@internetjesus]

I actually love that there’s a video for this song, because each phase of the boss battle corresponds to the intoner shown on the screen. Yes. This is a six phase rhythm boss battle with different tempos and difficulties. It took me three or four hours to beat on my playthrough because if you miss even one note of this 7-and-a-half minute song you will fail and have to start all over again. Worse there’s two notes that happen after the fade out. It’s one of the most gorgeous, infamous, and rewarding experiences I’ve encountered in a videogame.

[@SquallNoctisGUX]

Those descriptions basically sums up Drakengard as a whole lol

[@DarkRedDragon77]

This ending is one of my favorites. The story of this series Drakengard/Nier is truly amazing and deep. Even the short stories and weapons stories are heavily written. I don't drink much but damn, do I need a glass of bourbon.

[@DiogoLZ]

This game has one of the hardests final bosses of all time. And is directly connected with this song.

[@YoRHaUnit2Babe]

the last note will forever haunt my anger

[@Etherwinter]

The most amazing thing about this is the bossfight. The bossfight IS the song. The final boss is a rhythm game. I'm terrible at rhythm games so I never beat it, especially when there's a final notes at the end that you have to kinda guess with no visuals helping you. It's an amazing song, though. I didn't mind hearing it the multiple times I retried. Each of the female characters shown in the video sing a part of the song, and the video starts showing them at each of their respective parts. Song is a huge part of Drakengard 3. You can see the actual boss at 6:30 of this video, where all the sisters are represented and they all "sing" the final part of the song.

[@dustinu7974]

Ive heard this song so many times and describing it as the musical equivalent of a kaleidoscope is mind blowing lol Pretty cool you picked up on the nier connection just from hearing the song as well

[@MrKanooe]

Those feelings of uneasyness, weirdness, all of these...that's ok. This song is aimed to makes us feeling those, it's a hard song to listen, and i mean it! A beautiful, last song.

[@Kadraxan]

Drakengard/Nier games are very good at bringing out emotions, many (most?) of which are NOT positive ones. Without going into details, the ending of this game is much more bitter and tragic than sweet. D3 is a prequel to the original Drakengard, and this game sets up a lot of bad juju for the future of the series.

[@joshuayung5158]

And if you want negative energy tracks, no game exemplifies that concept more for me than the origjnal Drakengard.

[@ChrisMorray]

For the quickest rundown of the relation between Drakengard and Nier: NieR is a spinoff to one of the endings of Drakengard, but thousands and thousands of years later. There are a few recurring themes, such as glowing red eyes indicating a desire to eliminate humanity, and the angelic alphabet which adorns every spell circle and every glowy effect. Drakengard 3 is a prequel to Drakengard 1, sometimes called Drakengard zero (main character is also called Zero, the one with the flower in her eye). Drakengard 2 barely involved Yoko Taro and is often ignored in the overarching franchise. But yeah, this song is the final song, when Zero's dragon is tasked with killing her, because that white flower in her eye is pure evil. When Zero dies, the flower grows her a new body, just so she can suffer more. Part of the song noted the "Kuroi Hana" when you realized there was some Japanese in there, meaning black flower in Japanese. Roughly translated, the phrase is "Black flower of the darkest white". Zero had to kill her sisters, and then have her only friend kill her, just to stop that flower in her eye.

[@MrTsukihami]

And to be more obnoxious Michael doesn't even kill it he just seals it away in to one of the disaster branches of the "world" where tragedy of Flower blooming already happened dooming Zero to suffer for eternity.

[@mr.stuffdoer8483]

The point where it switches from Drakengard to Nier is the early 2000s, where the first cutscene of Replicant is. Replicant jumps forward ~1000 years after that cutscene, and Automata jumps forward ~8000 years from Replicant’s ending.

As others are saying, the weird feeling this left you with is appropriate, and is something I feel with Nier music too sometimes. Beautiful, but not comforting.

[@-libertyprimev1-902]

If you couldn't tell already, The Final Song takes tones/instruments/vocals from 6 different songs each signifying a character (song is actually one of their powers and can be used to summon Literal Angels) to create One Last Song. Interwoven into a brilliant yet unsettling song, that is in fact The Final Boss itself and considered by many to be *One Of/If Not The Most Difficult Boss Fights In Gaming As A Whole.*

[@AngryKatie18]

Extra creepy fact: NieR is the result of a single ending that can only occur if Zero fails. If she doesn’t succeed in killing her 5 sisters and herself then the timeline that leads to NieR becomes the distant future.

It can be said that the actual 'battle' this song plays during adds another layer to the song (its purely music with no dialogue until the very end cheapshot)...so it might be worth you deciding to see a video of the battle itself with the music.

This song will be playing and you'll see what's going on with the tempo shifts and maybe get a better understanding of why it sounds the way it does.

Ive never played Drakengard 3, regrettably because it looks like such a gorgeous game and I found it much too late, but this song just feels like its the entire emotional adventure of the game in one long, final song

[@jnoinm]

From what I've heard, it's definitely not a game you'd actually want to play, and would be better off watching a playthrough of. Main thing I've heard about the Drakengard series is that the gameplay is far from good, but the story is obviously incredible thanks to Yoko Taro. Though, if you haven't already played them, can't recommend the Nier games enough

[@etimun]

@@jnoinm only thing I've heard is how hard the final boss is, but as someone who pretty regularly plays rhythm games, I'm just convinced rhythm playing isn't something people are used to. I've eve watched the final boss and it just seems like a Focus On The Music Not The Boss deal. Though I really do need to watch a playthrough some day lol

[@vyressi]

This song is comprised of the leitmotifs of the five antagonists as well as the protagonist, who all have sound/music based abilities. Each character is named after the numbers zero ( protagonist) through five ( antagonists ) ...so if you search for, say, "Drakengard Two's Song" you'll hear the individual leitmotif. The story of the game is basically the protagonist and her childlike dragon companion trying to kill all of the antagonists as well as herself to save the world. While this song plays you act as the dragon matching the rhythms of the song as it manifests with that character's leitmotif, saddened because he needs to kill his only friend. The game's director is Yoko Taro, the round guy, The music composer of Nier and Drakengard is named Keiichi Okabe.

[@cicithereese2535]

The way you described how the song made you feel is exactly as intended. The series has multiple endings and most are not happy.

[@mads_in_zero]

I think the detail about this song that gets me the most, in the context of the story, is the ending. Mikhail has to kill his mother figure, Zero, in order stop the existential threat she and the other Intoners pose (to put it as simply as possible). Your goal is to stop the song. And indeed, you succeed, as the ending gets slower and slower, until it finally stops _just before_ the last note of the song's melodic phrase can play.

[@aeternusvotum]

"Is this the Chaos Language from NieR?" That's what I also thought for so long until I saw this and see that it's Japanese!! I even understand the language but was so much in Chaos Language mode, that I never noticed Dx Although sometimes what being sung doesn't really fit the lyrics, so I'm confused xD I just remember watching the fight that goes with this song a while ago, and yes "so much going on" is a true statement but not in the way one would ever imagine the boss fight xD But musically, I love this song SO much!

[@TheSylvirr]

it's japanese yes, but very very loosely written and then spoken even MORE loosely so that it's really easy to confuse it for chaos. I think I read somewhere that it was done deliberately with both DoD 1 and 3, though I have very little knowledge on DoD2.

[@jho2000000]

Amazing reaction, and yeah the song is a kaleidoscope of zero (the main character/white haired girl) and her sisters songs (further explaining this would be heavy spoilers so im not further elaborating) but there is japanese at the begining and end of the song (its zeros theme "the black song or kuroi uta" however the feels you got can be explained by reading zeros novella, which it is not in game and partialy explain why this song is a never quite feel positive... and allmthe sisters songs are in angelic... which also have meaning)... and if you want conclussion about this song... there is actually one on the actual last song from the game... this silence is mine. Oh and yeah Yoko Taro is the game director, but Keichi Okabe is the music composer (theyre really good buddies... from back to their uni days i think... to the point when Okabe wins an award Yoko express his saltines and ask people to stop giving him awards because it can go to his head).

the song go well with the game and the story if yoiu know it, its funny that just the song got you to feel some of the main themes of this game and each change in the song corresponds with the sisters in the game, this is also the true ending

[@AngryKatie18]

This is the song for the final Branch D boss which is the main character Zero herself and her 5 sisters she came to kill. It begins with the theme of Zero The main character), then her sisters in order Five, Four, Three, Two, One, and then Zero comes back. (The Utahime/Goddesses are literally named“One” “Two” in English but pronounced in Japanese). You are fighting by circling them as the Dragon Mikhael trying not to die as giant naked versions of the goddesses spring from a single flower. That’s what you see in the final image. Without spoiling anything this video will give you an idea of what was going on and the 5 Utahime+Zero springing up from the flower. kzbin.info/www/bejne/amrKfXZvrs56hck

[@Gabriel87100]

As a personal suggestion rather than one for a video, look up Drakengard 3's "Branch D Final Boss" and you'll get the context since the entire song is a fundamental part of the scene. It's a bittersweet sacrifice to save a world the main character hated her entire * really bad * life. I consider it one of the most beautiful and haunting endings ever made for a game.

[@icefiredragon94]

I get ya on the feeling on the song. Would be fun to check out the boss this comes from since the song was a final goodbye from a character to another. Hearing it now without the fight, it unnerves me how the end sounds like a dying music box and i love it

To the quote: "is this the chaos language from NieR" Yesn't They mixed it. Its Japanese and Chaos. Some words like "Kuroi Uta" are japanese. (It means black flower) And the song on its own tells the story of the cursed/black flower that started the problems that Zero is facing. The Intoners are basically the 7 Sins even when there are only 6 ;) hehehehe But yeah on the end *SPOILERS* the flower gets destroyed by Mikhail sealing the Intoners in another world/dimension. But as Accord said: "i have the feeling that someway somehow Zero will come back" Meaning that someday the seal will break and giving Drakengard 3 a Ending E like they did in the NieR Replicant Remake. And we know how Yoko Taro is the king of foreshadowing.

[@platypuspracticus2]

"The upping of the tempo was so seamless!" And it's for a rhythm game! Simon Says style rhythm game where you repeat back the previous measure. And it includes eighth notes and just upbeats sometimes. It's a final boss made for musicians.

Basic timeline is this. Drakengard 3 A Ending Drakengard 1 E Ending NieR RepliCant E Ending Nier Automata Drakengard 2 is a bit of an oddball as it’s an alternate timeline after Drakengard 1’s A Ending. NieR Gestalt is odd too since it’s another timeline where the only difference is the main character’s age and relationship with characters. It’s worth noting though that all endings are canon due to time shenanigans. The story connecting everything is told through Japanese exclusive manga, novels, drama cds and stage plays. Even the canon depiction of these canon endings are in supplemental material.

[@GhostintheShellOST]

Drakengard 3 Ending E to be precise, which is not in the game but in DOD3 Story Side, the novelization. Drakengard 3 Ending A leads to the manga Shi ni Itaru Aka and Drakengard 1.3

But anything Yoko Taro touches is NOT meant to be happy or evoke feelings of happiness. It's a song about calmly facing your end on your terms. Also, as other people have pointed out, YOKO TARO is the director, not the composer. You're looking for Keiichi Okabe, Kakeru Ishihama and Akitaka Tohyama. I recommend you listen to each of the 5 Intoner sisters' individual songs.

[@ladyzero3509]

Drakengard 3 is a twisted and depressing story. My personal, favorite story of all. The Last Song, holds even stronger meaning when you know the context that leads up to it. The Last Song, is a parting song. Melancholy, sadness, pain, and freedom. Freedom from being alive, from guilt. The literal execution of a split soul. While some songs are masterpieces without the context, I believe The Last Song, and the whole DG3 soundtrack is just, timeless, with that context, for whats worth. The Last Song, is just as the title describes it. Putting together the pieces of the bosses that you have fought along the way... hard to dwelve deeper without going as insane as Yoko Taro. But, now to finish that journey, we are just missing This Silence is Mine. Zero earned her silence...

Call me weird or anything because I know that this song may not appeal to many people, considering that people would usually name Okabe's other works (from the NieR series for example) as their favourites instead. So I understand if it gives you mixed feelings. Oh and for your information, the lyrics are in both Japanese and the "Chaos Language". The lyrics were written by Hana Kikuchi and sung by Emi Evans (known for the Chaos Language). The Japanese part of the song is borrowed from another song in Drakengard 3 titled "Kuroiuta". You can listen to that if you're interested. There are 2 versions of that though; one is sung by Eir Aoi and another is Emi Evans.

This one is actually completely in Japanese, the words for the five sisters are very loosely pronounced to give a similar feeling to chaos language, but it's still Japanese

[@LightKeyDarkBlade]

@@Phyllion- I don't think so. A large majority of the five sisters' parts doesn't sound Japanese at all. One very obvious place is at 5:20 of this video. That is _not_ Japanese. No official lyrics were also released for this song, while other songs such as Kuroiuta were given. This isn't like songs such as Kuroiuta that have Japanese written lyrics, but they're entirely in katakana so it's difficult to interpret the meaning of the lyrics. This song is different. Only the Kuroiuta portion is in Japanese while the rest is Chaos Language.

"I have ZERO idea about this game" heheheheheheheheh (the main character's name is Zero)

[@javi8905]

this is my fav drakeNier last boss theme i played this once for a class presentation lol

[@FlinchFox]

Nier is the “””Sequel””” to Drakengard, but yes, you are spot on with this being Chaos Language. Nier actually happens when an event happens that introduces magic into our world that leaves the world in ruin.

Michael Hmm? It's almost time... Good night... Zero...

[@AmSeris]

The misheard lyrics in the lyric video though. Bro thinks she's singing Japanese in the chaos part

[@Amitlu]

Not sure why the order of the video footage goes from the characters 1, 5, 4, 2, 3 when it should be counting down.

[@icefiredragon94]

After Zero, One's theme, then five, and so on are being sung instead of going backwards like the final boss's models do. Odd choice but it sounds nice

[@secretbunnyninja]

Please do Ishtar's Battle Theme from SMT V. OMG.

[@MeteoBahamut]

This is tragedy put into song. The song itself is real in the game as well and carries much of the same emotion that you got from it.

[@heymay724]

prolly wanna check the first games soundtrack out :)

[@randyfreeman2547]

Drakengard 1 and 3 are in the Nier series. I love "The Descent of God" from this game.

[@DanyGasta89]

Drakengard is related to NieR because Drakengard is the main installation; NieR games are its spinoffs.

[@Tise2033]

one of the endings in drakengard 3 leads to drakengard 1 and its ending E leads to nier

[@ESALTEREGO]

@@Tise2033 almost all endings in DoD 3 lead to DoD 1

[@Tise2033]

@@ESALTEREGO actually no. None of the endings of Drakengard 3 game connects to Drakengard 1. The canon ending is actually in the Drakengard 3 novel. Drakengard 3 is about alternate timelines before Drakengard 1. Well you could say something from the future came and make troubles or to help?
