A glorious theme for the grand finale to Western Zemuria. I love the similar feel to Pure Resolution from Tokyo Xanadu, almost as if Jindo is saluting Unisuga. And to think Jindo would go on to top this one in the very next game...

[@Panchito2696]

As I'm about to start this final dungeon at Reverse Babel, I'm suddenly overwhelmed with a mix of emotions. To think it all started with a couple of bright-eyed kids wanting to help their fellow neighbors and citizens in Liberl and look for their missing dad... Now, both former enemies and long-time friends and allies join forces to defeat the ultimate transhumanist-godlike adversary which rivals the power of the Goddess herself. It all returns to Zero... and no matter which side comes out victorious, it will usher a dawn of new beginnings, for better or worse. Liberl team, Special Support Section, Old and New Class VII, and each and every supporter, antihero or enemy which made the Trails saga for what it truly is... Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for allowing me to watch you all grow and overcome your barriers. It has been my greatest pleasure witnessing this magnificent saga unfold before my very eyes. All the moments I experienced through this journey will remain forever with me for as long as I live.

I'm right there with you, Panchito.

epic moments

[@mojtaba2175]

Now I get why it's called "Reverse Babel". Because the original tower of Babel was all about humanity and God, but Reverse Babel is about Humanity and it's creation. It's also why the main instruments are so machine-sound like.

[@RaifSeverence]

Except humanity didn't create the tower in this game. AI did. AI that also wasn't created by humanity, but through an unfortunate influencing of mysticism upon technology.

[@izanagisato5944]

SPOILER ALERT Not really. The biblical story of the Tower of Babel saw god 'dividing' humanity by giving them different languages, thus disabling their ability to communicate and unite. Reverse Babel, meanwhile, had Rufus playing 'god', but this time, instead of a god who divided humanity, he made them unite by playing the role of a common enemy. Hence, Reverse Babel.

11/10. Nothing else needs to be stated. This is the conclusion of the great first half of this tale. This somber tone and insanely epic climax perfectly depict all of my feelings finally reaching this point in the game. This is it, after 3 long arcs in western Zemuria is finally time to put an end to the entirety of Crossbell storyline and to get over this barrier. The fact that this is the game that concludes and begins the new saga of arcs... I just really love the direction Kiseki has been taking going full on Sci-Fi from Hajimari onwards. This song perfectly express that feeling. This is not a story solely about magical creatures and legendary powers anymore, this is a story of humanity reaching divine-tier technology at an alarming pace, and its fucking metal as fuck. I love Kiseki. Thank you Jindo for this insane piece.

[@DarkwraithAbyssal]

Damn well said, truly a legendary final dungeon theme. It also gives the sense of uncertainty towards the future.

[@Aozann]

@@DarkwraithAbyssal Yeah it's like the game is telling you "This is just the beginning" "Don't lower your guard" etc but still has that sense of hope that whatever might come in the future, you will overcome it.

[@DrCasey]

Yeah, I didn't expect the actual Technological Singularity to be brought up in a JRPG.

[@ArcVerity]

Love this track so much, one of my favorites. I like how different it feels to the common final dungeon theme, really drives home the feeling of approaching the end of everything up to that point.

[@frankynovianto7841]

The calm before the storm

[@conquerorsark6175]

Best dungeon music track only second to Spiral of Erebos. What a masterpiece literally Falcom and team do it again.

[@TheRealMaruki]

Only to be one-upped by Resonance of Ray

[@heymario256]

Easily my favorite song from Reverie. It's so good!

[@antonyms]

I love this track, after nine games, the end of an era and the rise of a new dawn.

[@Comangeit]

This final dungeon theme just hits different compared to the last few games. You get a real sense of finality that the whole western Zemuria stuff with Liberl, Crossbell and Erebonia is coming to close paving the way for the Calvard arc.

[@lancewinchester1000]

Very ambient track for what it seems the final. The chills are strong.

[@adamhashiba6140]

この曲を聴くと何と言うかとても悲しくなるよ。そして、この曲を何回聴いたのは自分も覚えてない。やっぱりこの曲は創の軌跡の中で登場した全ダンジョンの曲より場所も含めて最高を言っても過言ではないと思います。ここから僕個人の感想になる。僕は最初にこのダンジョンに入った時はこんな気分を感じた。何でこの曲がこんなに悲しそうなのにこれが最後と言う雰囲気を持ってるの？それを一度も考えずに俺がこの逆しまバベルを攻略して終点に辿り着いてから、あいつと決着を着ける事になるを見た後ようやく分かった何でこの曲がこんなに悲しそうでこれが最後と言う雰囲気を待ってたの理由はこれで間違いない。その瞬間僕にとってこの曲が最高になった。

[@PKRockin7]

同意する 非常に美しい 歌!

[@IkeSan]

The chills of this song.

[@masterrean4799]

A perfect mix of Erebonia and Crossbell theme

[@FieryShaverdian]

The final dungeon themes in this series are usually always good, but this one is the absolute best.

[@FireBleba18]

Progression feels so natural in this song (ok yes 8 bar phrases I know) but it really lets you know this will be the end of their saga

[@PKRockin7]

Without a doubt, the best final dungeon theme Rather than being hype, this song *means* something. Especially during the very end, after beating the final boss and hearing it again It's touching and uplifting

[@Paltheos]

A theme worthy of the end of an era in Kiseki. I love the piano in this track, although maybe everything else around it being so good just makes it stand out that much more (the piano-less parts are also really good!). I can't help but wonder if Jindo was actually given context for this one (some direction at the very least for sure). The Erebonian influence is obvious at 1:27, and the similar chords repeated by the piano in the first half of the song are screaming something at my monkey brain that I can't quite figure out. ... In any event, big thumbs up from me. Comparing Jindo's other recent final dungeon tracks, this is better fitting than To The Future for sure (despite being less robust), and it's leagues ahead of Strategic Zone which was... sure an epic-sounding track in the video game Ys IX: Monstrum Nox.

[@JRPGforlife]

Not gonna lie, I wasn't really that impressed with the track at first but the more I listened to it as I advanced through the dungeon, the more I started to appreciate it. Really gives that emotional sense of finality to the crossbell and erebonia characters. Amazing track!

Goodbye Rean /Lloyd until we meet again in future years our journey with you guys has come to an end For Now sorry we're leaving you guys behind for a bit for now hang on a bit there go back to your normal lives while we head out to the unknown and try to discover the new era ahead in Zemuria. Welcome to Calvard Everyone the new chapter is about to start are you all ready for this ? Well You better because things are gonna heat up soon next year! Another trilogy starting with a new protagonist and all new lead characters and new locations ❤

[@leonardocaelum4581]

Kinda hard to say goodbye to these characters 😢, but we do have to move on hopefully temporary and not forever because i want to see them again 😭 i have so much investment with them 😢

[@charliewonder3622]

song in beginning like slow tone of Lift off in cold steel 3 because spoilers we need fight Varimar (probably)

[@JetTheBaron]

Spoilers You're not wrong. The final boss is what Valimar would've become if it fully absorbed the 6 other divine knights.

[@JetTheBaron]

This song isn't memorable to me because of the final dungeon. It's memorable to me because of Lapis's ''speech'' near the end, where she wants to save Rufus

[@롤로노이]

Music = Falcom

[@Rehncohro]

Most dungeons in the series just feel really long and drawn out and have some really annoying parts, but this one is one of the least annoying for me. No real complicated paths to take or anything, just moving from point A to B with both sides until they meet up at the end. Loved the part where Lloyd, Lapis, and Jusis returned to save Rufus.

[@zordiark9673]

Best final Dungeon was the Gral of Erebos in CS3. No bullshit, just straight downwards to the Boss gauntlet. But this one has something within, its not annoying like the Infernal Castle but also not as straightforward as the Gral. Its just good Balanced.

[@Rehncohro]

@@zordiark9673 Gral of Erebos was one of the easier dungeons. The only real hard part was that cliffhanger.

[@zordiark9673]

@@Rehncohro There isnt a real Hard one in the entire series.. i meant the design

[@Rehncohro]

@@zordiark9673 No, there definitely are hard ones (Azure for example) and the final bosses can be difficult too (CSIII's being one of the easiest).

[@chefofthetrash]

@@Rehncohro the ease of CS3'S final boss definitely helped the impact of the cliffhanger because I was convinced there'd one more fight only for the game to slam the door in my face
