Song of the Ancients - Fate - With lyrics/karaoke

[@muffin_3473]

Coming back to this after seeing them animated brings tears to my eyes and joy in my heart.

[@danieljbell9077]

I first heard this song playing Final Fantasy 15. It was actually this song that convinced me to give this weird new game “Nier Automata” a chance despite the fact that it was the type of game I never would have picked up. Several play-throughs of both Automata and Replicant later, Nier has become my favorite game series ever.

[@szaka9395]

Same. I gave 0 fucks about the game because i dont fall for sexy lady bullshit. Forgot about it for years. For some reason i felt like i would like to play a stupid braindead game with hot chicks. O boy. How wrong i was. I was in my low spot back then. The game made me devastated for weeks. Favourite on spot. I picked it during my low, and didnt expect it. Automata changed me a little. Thats for sure.

I love how both of their swords have teeth that they seem to use to... Block better? How cool is that idea? And how with Nier's whole business with androids could be executed as something plausible in that universe. Fighting side by side with two swords that interlock, can you imagine how cool that idea is? It gives the idea of fighting together an even cooler practical concept for combat, with these two twin sisters. It just fits very well.

[@phantomnite]

Well, these are the newer models, so I imagine they had these so they can protect each other, unlike their first known models

[@AlphaXXI]

I keep seeing different versions of the lyrics, I wonder if there's any source for any of them ? Or is everyone just interpreting them in different ways by ear only ?

[@greenteabag69]

I’m certain they are accurate… Firstly because I checked them on Spotify. Secondly, because this is a made up language, I’m certain you can’t here these words normally or spell them at all without a source with confirmation… Have a good day…

[@AlphaXXI]

@@greenteabag69 If people have made other versions with the wrong lyrics, that also have made up words, doesn't that contradict your second argument ?

[@AssassinCurvy]

Hello Alpha, as greenteasbag already mention this is madeup language and the singers are japanese while trying to use syllables mostly from japanese language with occasional attempts at different languages here and there. I was looking for the official lyrics for a very long time, but the one in description is the most "authentic" I found in my search, as it is marked as SQuare Enix Music. Of course had to replace some of the letters with as close-looking letter from with cyrilic alphabet as possible, hope that answered the question :) By no means I am saying mine is perfect, but I did do some research on my work :)

[@AlphaXXI]

@@AssassinCurvy I wasn't saying you didn't do work, I was just wondering what the sources were. I know this is chaos language. But since I couldn't myself find an official source (as in, on an official square enix website or something like that) I wasn't sure. (As for what I responded to greenteabag, this was mostly to show the flaw in their logic, you could justify any lyrics that way)

​@@lucar3620well, "Nier" is a pretty melancholic story, and Devola and Popola indirectly contribute to it.

@@chizuru3240 I think it's more like Emi Evans's term for the conlangs she uses for the NieR series's vocal tracks.

@@JabamiLain I mean, be honest here. Whoever designed them was an actual idiot. The fact that they loved to socialize, and that they literally made for each other, unable to cope with the other is such a fucking idiotic programming... I mean, I get it. It meant that they would do whatever it takes to succeed in the end, but it was also their greatest weakness. Their entire personality of learning to love was turned against them. It's literally pure torture. But again... This is Nier lmao. Happiness isn't allowed

​@@91AizenSama I plan to try and make them somewhat smarter in the route I'm writing (route W). It's my own interpretation of "DrakeNier". I think even if they loved, they still should have been able to manipulate events more too. Love can become manipulative. Some people may define...standards for you to earn love.

@@JabamiLainDon’t be too glad. Beepy surviving leads to a short story called the Fire of Prometheus where he gives free will to the machine network from Automata in between both games. He’s doing it out of compassion, but that leads to the machines genociding the aliens and the Red Girls taking over and doing all the messed up things they do in Automata and beyond in a quest to drive their own evolution lol

[@JabamiLain]

​​​@@abdieljove2011in the robots' defense, the aliens not only were genocidists too, they're desribed as animalistic, based on both their actions and speech in the CD drama (even the pre-reveal Shades behaved humanely enough to get you to question some things). The Red Girls may be problematic, but gaining the Fire of Prometheus is necessary evil, lest you want to risk said aliens moving beyond Earth. Besides, humanity is extinct by that point. Let its legacy carry on to the next generation to occupy our planet, so that we won't become meaningless.

[@abdieljove2011]

@@JabamiLain True. And I’ll be honest…I think the Red Gorls are a monster born out of circumstances. The Machine Network gains sentience after being freed by "God", aka Beepy. But it was just designed with the drive to constantly evolve and as a tool of war. So…it starts finding meaning via the methods it understands. It wipes out the aliens, becomes obsessed with studying humanity as a stepping stone for their evolution and then uses the endless war with the Androids to apply evolutionary pressure for the Machines. And by the time of the FF14 crossover, they’ve moved on to trying to assimilate everything around them to drive their evolution, using Maso to develop Seeds of Destruction and invading worlds. Gonna be honest, I fully expect the big reveal somewhere down the line that the "God" who wrecked the Drakengard world is a version of the Red Girls who have evolved way past what we’ve seen, using Maso to assimilate entire worlds, and are invading other timelines after creating the Watchers. It’s all some time loop BS.. The cataclysm Accord is trying to stop is "God"/ that version of the Red Girls collapsing every timeline unto themselves. After all, everything else supernatural has gotten a Sci fi explanation by now. The dragons, flowers and more. Of course, crackpot theory. Either way, my point is the Red Girls’ actions are monstrous, but I’m pretty sure at the end of the day they’re just another confused AI trying to find its own meaning. Because that’s the most Yoko Taro thing ever.
