      Not trying to be weird, but you def have to play the games to get the “true” feeling of these songs. They represent different dynamics and philosophies of the game. In the same vein of what Yoko Taro said “it’s best expressed in game”, although he was talking about the story - I feel there’s merit behind that sentiment for the entirety of the game; music included.

      @Herr_Gamer I realize that most of the fans don't even know that 9S found out about human extinction before the fight with Eve and ending A. Knowing the story, 2B should have been given the order to hunt 9S. That's such a great plot line I would love to see, but noooooo they give us a stupid virus and mercy killing scene in ending A which makes absolutely no sense. How is strangling him a nice way to kill him? and why would strangling kills him as android? he doesn't need to breathe! I am so mad that we got that BS instead of getting to explore the conflict and emotion of 2B as she's hunting 9S, and how 9S respond. Does 9S fight back to preserve his life, or will he try to convince 2B to betray Yorha? We could have gotten 2B and 9S teaming to attack Yorha, which lead to a real fight with the commander and all the handlers we've bonded with. Instead we got the virus as a cop out. We killed Yorha, but they are all infected so it's not the same as actually killing them because we are on different side. I think I've rambled on too long but that's what I got on the top of my mind. I remembered feeling frustrated by a lot of things as I play the game, but I forgot most of them now.

    Most of the lyrics of these songs do not come from a real language
    The singer Emi Evans, who has been part of this series for a while and has provided vocals for many songs in this video, was tasked by the composer to help create lyrics in a made up language, the “Chaos Language“
    The idea is that it is supposed to sound like an actual language taking influences from many real existing languages but ultimately the lyrics don’t mean anything

    • @dumbsterdives
      @dumbsterdives Před 5 měsíci +13

      I believe the explanation she's given in the past is that she was thinking about how real languages might sound after a couple thousand years have passed, which is why some songs sound closer to certain languages than others. like kaine salvation's lyrics sound very gaelic, for example.

      The lyrics in the English version are actually completely different from the Japanese though. If you haven't looked up a translation for the JP lyrics, I definitely recommend doing so. Even it's title is different, meaning "The song of a broken world" rather than "weight of the world."

  • @CJ-mk3nf
    @CJ-mk3nf Před 5 měsíci +18

    Something that's important to note about Weight of the World / Kowareta Sekai no Uta is that they aren't just different language versions, they are actually *different songs* sung to more or less the same track. The lyrics of each reflect the perspective and emotions of the ending they play at. I can't speak on the french version as I dont speak the language (well, lol) but i imagine its a similar story for that version as well.
    That being said, the jpn version is one of my favourite songs ever. Theres just so much packed into both the lyrics and her performance, and it never fails to put a tear in my eye
    Also, on the note of chaos language: what you've heard is correct, it isn't any particular real language. However for some songs it's not just completely made up, but Emi worked to try and make lyrics that "felt like" an existing language, several thousands of years in the future. To my knowledge, there are songs for German, French, Japanese, and English in this style across both the Nier and Automata osts. Speaking as a language nerd, its one of the coolest things ive ever heard and Emi is so great for pulling it off

Despair is great on it's own, but combined with the other versions it becomes something else entirely. Or honestly, pretty much ALL the leitmotifs across the games are like that. And it's even better because half of them carry across from Replicant/Gestalt to Automata, and when the studio who did the first one shut down, I think a lot of us didn't expect to see anymore Nier, so the music returning in a game I thought I'd never get to see really just hit in a way I can't even fully explain.

    somehow missed this upload!! but im so glad you did the japanese version of weight of the world. glad you enjoyed what you heard, i guarantee you'd love the rest of the soundtrack (and seconding the people recommending you check out replicant). also if you do a part 2 of automata it'd be cool if you checked out english weight of the world for comparison. it's also very pretty, but a different vibe. it's also sung by J'nique Nicole, the second, deeper vocalist on A Beautiful Song. her voice is SO GORGEOUS and full I love it.
    it makes me happy to see more people discovering this wonderful game through it's music, which is how i found the original game so many years ago.

    This soundtrack is really outstanding❤ the first time i played this game i actually cried because you can just FEEL all the emotions... and then the beautiful, yet humiliating story... its such a masterpiece
    The languages here are actually a mashup of different languages. I think its Russian, French, English, Japanese and just languages in general that count as beautiful
    Possessed by Disease is my absolute favourite! Its so mesmerizing

    You need to make a part 2! Lots more amazing song both in Automata and in the original Nier. I definitely recommend listening to the other versions of Weight of the World too, finishing up with The End of Yorha.

    So yeah, the music in this game is just about as unique, weird and surprising as the game itself is, I don't know if you play games at all, if you do, go and play this. It doesn't even matter if the genre isn't exactly your wheelhouse, just pick the easiest difficulty and go, the story is one of those "once in a lifetime, one in a million" kind of deals, you haven't seen one quite like it before, and you'll probably never see something quite like it again, unless you go for Nier Replicant or other games that Taro might cook in the future.
    Don't be fooled by the first end credits though, the game and the story isn't over, you'll come across the end credits a second time, but that's not the end either, there's more game and story still left. You'll know when you've hit the last end credit sequence when you get there.
    This doesn't mean that you need to beat the game multiple times, sometimes people unfortunately say that you need to play it through multiple times and that's just not true, it just means that when you see the end credits for the first time, those are not really the end credits and you haven't beaten the game yet.

    The soundtrack for the Nier series is very much involved with the game itself, because most of it is a bunch of leitmotifs for the characters (notice how I said Nier series). It is because some of the songs in Automata came pay homage to Gestalt & Replicant (which was remade and remastered, game and soundtrack both, so that means you will be going thru replicant twice). That and there are many variants of the songs within the soundtracks themselves and they are a treat to listen to separately since they convey a different feeling, so you might want to look up the other 3 Weight of the World variants (I highly recommend saving the song End of YorHa ver. last after hearing the rest of weight of the world)
    It is also wonderful you were able to glean so much without knowing the source material thus I would say you are in for a wonderful and heartbreaking journey. Please go in blind and enjoy the show~

    One of my favorite games of all time. It's amazing, and beautiful. The soundtrack is quite probably the greatest video game soundtrack I have ever heard. The Japanese singer for Weight of the World broke down and cried during the end of the song while she was singing it, and they kept it in. That song is something else. I don't think this soundtrack will ever be matched.

    If you like the style of the Possessed by Disease vocals, definitely check out Ar Tonelico (Akiko Shikata's songs in particular, or her other songs). It's kind of surprising that it's not her singing this one (it's Nami Nakagawa). Ar Tonelico in general has tons of points in the uniqueness category, that's for sure.

    One thing Nier does that I wish more games would do is ambient tracks with multiple layers that fade in and out as you traverse a region. More instruments and even the chaos language vocals will just fade in and out smoothly as you explore and progress deeper into an area. The only other game I can think of that does anything like this is Banjo-Kazooie.

    Neir has one of the best soundtracks of any game, but easily the most beautiful. Weight of the World is easily my favourite song from that game, but there are a couple that come close to it. Their Neir sound track is so sad, the english version of Weight of the World is heartrending.

    Emi (Emiko) Evans does the Chaos Language and French version, J’Nique Nicole (in English) and Marina Kawano (in Japanese).
    Also - Nami Nakagowa does a lot of backing vocals with Emi as well as main vocals in songs, her most notable song was Possession by Disease in which Nakagowa does ALL the vocals in it.

    I hope you do touhou music in the future. The entirety of the series help caused the creation of undertale and all of its music. As a plus the creator of the series is very lax with the copyright for his characters and music which allows for anyone to create derivative works of touhou from song remixes to selling your own games.
    For some song suggestions they are
    Gensokyo the Gods Loved,
    Broken Moon,
    Maiden's Capprico,
    Love Colored Master Spark,
    Flowering Night,
    Hartman's Youkai Girl,
    and U.N. Owen Was Her.

    I also have some suggestions for you:
    Pieces from the Japanese musical artist "Kenji Kawai". Mezame no Hakobune, Follow Me are 2 good ones.
    Music from the game "Warframe". "This is what we are" is particularly beautiful.
    The song from the "Soulframe" gameplay footage (near the end, during a boss battle).

    Keiichi Okabe the composer of these songs is a master of making songs that fit a specific mood or character or scene. Even if you’re not into anime I definitely recommend listening to the Yuki Yuna is a Hero soundtracks. These songs like Nier are better in tandem with the source material.

    "Song of the Ancients/Atonment" (or "Song of the Ancients/Fate" which is from the previous game)
    "A Beautiful Song"
    "Weight of the World/End of YoRHa" (Personally, i like this version the most, but any version of that song is beautiful)
    "Alien Manifestation"
    "City Ruins"
    "Kainé/Salvation"
    "Emil/Sacrifice" (also from the previous game, but it gives a ton of context to "Emil/Despair")

    The thing about this game is that if you know how it goes, you will start crying quite quickly. It's one of the few that really got to me on an emotional level. However, I can still play the game unlike with What Remains of Edith Finch which broke me too much to ever play it again. I just can't deal with a young mother dying before she ever gets a chance to even begin raising her child.
