Dragon's Dogma OST: 2-42 Eternal Return (Dragon's Dogma Main Theme)

Dragon's Dogma soundtrack.
Vocals by the lovely and talented Aubrey Ashburn.
All songs composed by Takayoshi Makino and Rei Kondoh except where noted.

[@Morgan-uf4cm]

A game with a fire in its heart, burning brightly or clinging to its last embers. But the sequel just felt like the fire had long been gone.

[@Foogi9000]

Well said, i personally think that reputation-wise Dragon's Dogma 2 might have killed the chance of a DD3 with how poorly it was received. I will always fully blame Capcom for blowing out the kneecaps of the game during development and then expecting it to be able to run a full marathon afterwards.

[@TheEndless8]

After playing this game through about 20 times, I began reflecting upon the story of this and Dark Arisen. The story is soooo FUCKING SAD AND DEPRESSING!!!! Seriously, trapped forever in a loop without ending, always reaching the same end, freedom always just out of reach, and the fact that there are more worlds like this!! AND THE PAWWNS!!! Created only to serve, without a will of its own. Great game but a fucking depressing storyline. I need a proper ending where the loop ends. Someday, the dream will end.(FFX)

Don't read on in this reply if you haven't finished the game and/or don't want spoilers.*** In the regular (Not Dark Arisen) version, in the opening theme song they even say something along the lines of "Why can't they understand we kill ourselves in the end?"

[@AugustoXRock]

@Kapitan Dupa Don't lose hope sir, the Director of ht game said that before the last DMC, they were discussing either to do DMC5 or a sequel do Dragon's Dogma. So I think it wouldn't be too far fetch to say they are working on it right now! :D

[@AugustoXRock]

​@Kapitan Dupa I guess it's faulty logic by the studio's executives. Look at this way: You're making a game, everyone in the studio think it's gonna be great and a huge hit, so the higher ups set and expected sales figure, such as: 10 million copies sold. At a 60 dollar price, the expected return in investment should be 600 million dollars, right? In comparsion: say the game's budget is 100 million dollars, hitting that goal above, there should be a profit of 500 million dollars. Now say the game doesn't make that much success, and only manage to sell 5 million copies. They are still getting all their money's back with 300 million dollars in revenue, a 200 million dollars in profit. You might say: "Hey, that's great, they got all their money's back, and still made a profit which will be able to viabilize the production of 2 more games of the same production size." The thing is: The game is still considered a failure by the studio and investors, because, as much money they got, they didn't hit the expected goal they've set before releasing the game. So instead of immediately making a sequel (like it happened with Dark Souls), the studio puts the IP on the shelf and goes on to more profitable options. TL;DR: In the end nowadays, it's about money and return of investment. Consumer satisfaction and reputation comes second (we're seeing Blizzard and Bethesda fall hard this year). But we're seeing feintly an opposite trend with some companies like CDPR, doing games the way they were done in the past. Sorry about he long post, this was all in my head for a long time, and I've had to write it down haha.

[@AugustoXRock]

@Kapitan Dupa Like I said, it may sound like a success, but what we need to know are the opinions of the heads of capcom and what were their profits projections were. I agree with you tho, it looks like a resounding success regardless, and maybe they are treating the game like an Elder Scrolls, which takes more than a decade for a sequel to come out. Who knows, we'll have to keep hoping for an annoucement.

[@ccenia]

Hitomi miju It is a great game, but I feel it isn't as polished as it should be after release. The game has a lot of issues that need tweaking. That's why we're all patiently waiting for DD2 :) We also need more smart people playing this game, because people are dissing the story when they don't even get the idea of "eternal return". The story premise is quite amazing if people realize what it meant... Even the generic plot "I will defeat the dragon and save the kingdom" crap that most RPG's do anyway has a great meaning to it thanks to this premise.

[@catchyjam4608]

Levan DN DD is one of my favorite RPGs , has a outstanding soundtrack , decent gameplay, the world is big enough to be 'open world' , some enemies make you test your own skills ,the bosses deserve the tittle of 'boss' and yeah there were a few things that did kind dumb-it down, but is pretty good, that why i say DD2 is going to be amazing if capcom play their cards right.

[@Au_Ra804]

I think it's because DD is a bit similar to Skyrim and all the Skyrim fanboys and fangirls are busy playing that instead of DD. I, too compare DD and Skyrim often but in my opinion DD is better! Of course I wished DD had more ah... social features? like Skyrim has but I like the gameplay, skills, monsters (especially the dragons) and story much better. I never thought there would be a game in my whole life again, that I would be addicted to like I'm with DD EVEN NOW. I've got the feeling I have still things I didn't see (even though it's my 6th playthrough now) and I just didn't get that "adventure" feeling from skyrim..... so... or maybe it's just that most people don't know what a good game is anymore...

[@92edoy]

SPOILERS BELOW: I heard this song way before ending the game, but I never paid attention to the vocals. Now, I beat the game yesterday, and when this song popped out in the credits, I got curious and went and checked the lyrics. It makes So. Much. Sense. Now. "Finish the cycle of Eternal Return". The World yearning for the end of a God, so that a new one would Arise and take its place. Ending the Cycle. And starting the new one. The final, core truth of this world. The Dragon's Dogma. Little analysis and opinions: The game tells a tale. The tale of a world. You are in this world as the protagonist, but it seems you are not the "central focus" of the game IMO. The focus is the World itself. And you don't completely get it until the end of the game, until God itself reveals it. It may seem a sad and melancholic world, but is that true really? Souls may be suffering, our protagonist condemned to live an impossibly long time as a lonely god, but even that comes to pass. Those suffering souls will be reborn again, maybe into a peaceful life in a new Cycle. Another Arisen will challenge our lonely protagonist as the Seneschal, and take his place. His soul will be reborn again into another life, into another cycle. And, given enough time, that soul will experience EVERYTHING like all the others. Being a feeble ordinary human in one and being The Hero in another. Getting his life unjustly cut short by anything in one instance, and living a long, peaceful life in another. Being a simple mortal for uncountable lives, and becoming God for an uncountable amount of time. What I am saying is that each and every soul will experience everything possible in this eternal world. NPCs like Madeleine or Carston will be merchants in this instance of the world (the game we play), but in another cycle, they may well become Arisen (and then Gods or Dragons) themselves. In this context, is such a World "sad"? I don't think so. When I see such a world, the first words that comes to my mind are "Balanced", "Just". And the fact they tied in this world with in game mechanics (such as NG+) makes it even better to me.

[@The_Twero]

Dragon's Dogma 2 is sadly lacking the Eternal Return leitmotif which is disappointing. It was such an integral part of the first game's ost so it's sad that it's not present without dlc. I was really hoping to hear some new music like this.

[@Lazypackmule]

It's lacking... music. Like at all Game feels like it was scored with generic temp tracks from a hollywood production

[@VendettaSoundtracks]

@@Lazypackmule Yeah. The orchestral used in DD2 sounds really generic. Ironically, I often feel like synthesized orchestra just sounds better nowadays than live. The instrumentation is meatier and more dynamic with synth. But it's not just the orchestral nature of the DD2 tracks, it's the lack of any connecting leitmotif or memorable melodies. Also, DD1 isn't afraid to mix in interesting instrument choices, like it's sparing (but effective) use of electric guitar.

[@kevinLopez-xr2rj]

I think the execution was wonderful

[@DavidUtau]

The execution perfectly plasmed the theme of the game. You start by being nothing, a plebeian. You go on a long, hard quest to go to Gran Soren. You follow unclear quests designed to confuse you on the journal (quest steps), because of you not knowing the locations. The fast travel is lore friendly, and something you earn and set yourself. The dragons have a weak-spot that make you thing what they really are. IMO the game is designed to "bore you", but being charismatic enough to force you to play it again sometime in the future, maybe by design too, because of the revelations on the true ending. It's a dying world and the only thing keeping it going is the player finishing it again and again, that's why ending the "eternal return", the "dragon's dogma", is by stoping playing.

Played 7 years ago on my PS3. Still Playing this game because of the quarentine. Just starting my 2nd playthrough on my ps4 at 4:29 am LoL. This song gave me chills.

I remember how play this game Without realizing how dark this game is. Its Really fucking dark

[@TCCWhitesmiths]

I remember when I first completed this game, it 02:00 in the morning and after seeing that ending, I just sat there for half an hour, it just had so much of an impact on me

[@nikoru2821]

[@crimsonblade3064]

[@BlackHoleEye]

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

[@JMSLionheart]

This game is very special. Here I am waiting for Dragon's Dogma 2.

[@ccenia]

You just gotta love how beautiful the lyrics are. Especially the beginning. 'Neath a faltered sky; cross loamless plains, and watered blight Ah! Where gone those days, once Glory shone so bright? Fallen 'neath baleful wings dark as night. Ah! A moment give to me Hark! Shall none hear this soul's tale, Of a land, benight?

[@GeminiFate]

This game has some of the most memorable ending moments, and the moments leading to it, in all my long video game history!

[@josephmachado138]

Cool, Thanks!

[@K4rm4_incoming]

[@wape14]

[@davidmedina3031]

do it

[@billybobjoe9615]

We did it. Its finally here. After 12 long years dragons dogma has returned

[@Shadowvex101]

Every time I hear this, it gives me goosebumps. Such a good song :D

[@noiwontsignyourarmpit5263]

As much as I love Selection of Fate, I really feel like part of this should have played during the final boss.

[@mansifacio5458]

I'd disagree. Sure it would be cool to have the intro music at the end but it wouldn't fit thematically. As is, "eternal return" is part of the dark Arisen trilogy of musical pieces. "Eternal return" (the Arisen's theme), "Coils of Light" (the Dark Arisen's theme) and the theme for Daimon's second form (the Dark Arisen's hatred). As it stands, the songs tell a story with the piece connecting them all being the goal of destroying the cycle, of "finishing the cycle of eternal return". The first one is somber and sad at first but becomes hopeful, the second theme is tragic, as it is about the tragedy of the Dark Arisen and the third one is about the hatred of Daimon, personified in the awakened form, accompanied by the sinister and dramatic theme. But all of them have the clear goal of ending the cycle. While the first two outright say it, "eternal return" even saying it twice, the third theme only has the motive that accompanies the line "finish the cycle of eternal return", showing that even with Ashe being gone, only the hatred of Daimon remaining, the goal is still present, lingering. I don't have as much to say about Selection of Fate, except for it really showing that this fight requires will. While "Truth" does this a lot better, by being mysterious yet somehow hopeful, "Selection of Fate" is faster and more dynamic, showing that this is the true fight, while the first theme was a test of will

[@utubeleplague]

this is soooooo beautiful, almost makes me cry!!

[@ArnielSarethi]

It was definitely strange hearing it the first few times, but it grows on you as time goes on.

[@Silveretta69]

Didn't realise that the vocalist in this is the same one as in Dragon Age Origins

[@ilikestew8380]

Just finished my first playthrough, disappointed I haven't heard of this masterpiece until recently
