re: the sonata arctica reference, the free character that came with the storyline this song was used in (part two, though, not this particular arc) has all his skills named after sonata arctica songs/albums - Alone in Heaven, Ecliptica, and The Power of One
which is to say, I think you're 100% right on target to make that comparison
wait what??
And Shalem's skills are named after Genesis' songs; Abacab, Invisible Touch and Los Endos. GBF loves to do that lol
@@araragisenpai4088 Yeah, the game is packed with references to metal bands, most notably for characters of the "Society", who take after bands like Impellitteri, Blind Guardian, Edguy, Rhapsody of Fire and Arch Enemy just to name some.
If you look for the entire list it's more than clear several in Cygames really love the genre.
not only that,ALL 4 of said characters versions in the game continue to have skills named after them!
clicked on a video and took 30000 plain damage
now do 30m in 1 turn or WIPE
"Mitteruka Lucifer."
"PARADISE LOST!"
Oh boy, where do we start with this song?
First of all, as Jesse already guessed this song is for the fight that for a very long time was considered THE final boss in granblue, and even now, after several harder bosses have come out, almost none feel as intimidating as this one.
Just like in previous boss battles like the ones for Dark Silver Wings and The Ultimate, when this boss came out it required very developed teams and a lot of coordination between players, a single mistake could spell disaster for the entire raid.
Similarly, like other boss battles, the actual song is divided in sections that loop until your team manages to lower his health to a certain point, and the intensity of the battle matches quite well with each section. Getting to hear the end of the song after a very long fight felt like a huge reward.
Regarding the composer, Tsutomu Narita is one of Nobuo Uematsu's apprentices, they worked together in the early songs for the game and, when Uematsu left to work in other projects, Narita got the lead composer position. Since then he has worked in most, if not all the songs made for the Granblue franchise, including the fighting game and the upcoming action RPG.
The boss fight is as intimidating as the song. I heard this song so many times while I was watching streams of the most experienced granblue players trying and failing to get the world first clear of this boss. It was truly an experience most fans won't forget.
This song also has a passage from another very popular song that came before this called Paradise Lost, which is very related to Zero. It kinda adds more weight to the song.
It was crazy. The community went crazy when the first clear happened. I remember being on discord with members from our guild keeping track of all the streams happening around the world, and then the news dropped. Bloody epic moment.
granblue peaked when Lucilius raid came out
@@chiwashy8306true unfortunately WMTSB III was peak GBF and we'll never get that good again. Maybe re:link will save us all 😂
@@bekir51500 Really liked Robomi one and society events though and Armaggedon is still the top one imo.
No matter what games I play, this will FOREVER be THE final boss theme song! It's a perfect mix of like "bow down and acknowledge defeat", divine vibes, ominous, epic, intimidating (specially when you try the raid for the first times) and the feeling that "this is really the end of it all". I cannot put how much I like this song in words!
I'm hearing this every day from doing my daily LuciliusHL and I still never tire of hearing it for 10 mins a day.
There's a band arrange version by the composer's band, stella magna. They added a sick guitar solo in the beginning and bass solo in the middle, definitely check that one out if you liked this in-game version!
I do wanna say that at 9:40 the riff that plays is from a different gbf song called Paradise Lost and its actually the vocal part of that song "Let me feel the power" which shows up in quite a few different boss themes like Lucilius here and Avatar Belial. Its cool how they make the themes have references
Paradise Lost is also the name of Lucilius' main raid trigger ontop of being other characters supers and even summon calls in the game. Basically if you have any relation to any Angel/Fallen Angel character you're more then likely going to have a Paradise Lost reference
@@devsleeps54 Yeah, it's the leitmotif of What Makes the Sky Blue, you also hear it in Bubs Theme, Belial as well as Ain Soph Aur if I recalle correctly.
thank you for giving the song a full listen without pausing, I respect that since some other videos I've watched pause to talk and interrupt the song's tempo. along with your excellent and knowledgeable commentary, that's an easy subscription from me :P
I have been anticipating this, i am very glad you enjoyed this piece. It is tied to so many memories of me playing this boss (and dying to it😂) with friends. Especially when it first came out it was extremely hard and it involved a lot of strategy and coordination through the different phases (it became a lot easier as time passed and new units came out in the gacha). The memories still remain though as does the epicness of the song!
I followed you like over a year ago just waiting for this song to come out and it finally happened... Cheers! Ofc I come to love lots of other songs you did!
Been waiting a long, long time for this one.
As you have surmised, this is boss battle music, specifically the theme of Lucilius, the main villain of one of the most impactful story arcs in GBF.
To us Granblue Fantasy players, this is our One-Winged Angel, so I can definitely say for all of us that this is the one that we've all been waiting for.
- GIVE PRAISE, FOR HE HAS NO EQUAL -
Due to the length id liken it more to dancing mad rather than one winged angel honestly.
ayo it's Shizukatz! thanks for the cotc guides and also- GIVE PRAISE, FOR HE HAS NO EQUAL
WORSHIP HIM! A GOD HAS BEEN BORN UNTO THE WORLD!
Zero is probably the best song to ever be put into a video game, which is a tall claim. The way it supplements the story is unmatched and it’s kickass hearing the song as you wear down the boss, especially solo when it takes as long as the entire song to do. Its not a fight to beat Lucilius; you can’t. Its a fight to prove why humanity should exist, since he seeks to end what has no meaning after being derived of all. Your struggle is for all of existence to continue, not just to beat a world ending boss. What do you mean in the face of apocalypse, what makes the sky blue? This song perfectly encapsulates that in a climax that took a *long* while to conclude.
The character themes from DMC5 do something similar I'd say. Zero's definitely a great song, not sure it would make my top 10 though
@@jonahbrown5669 Ehh, if they’re within the same space of paying off a long arc then I think Bury The Light is the main competitor. Subhuman, V’s theme, and Devil Trigger/Silver Bullet just feel like expected battle themes. Shall Never Surrender was better at showcasing Nero’s eagerness to show his powers while also his kindness and steel will for good intentions. Devils Never Cry did a similar thing for Dante.
Not to argue with ur point cause it’s 10 months later but I don’t really get the vibe you can’t beat Lucilius, especially because he is literally defeated after this by you and sandy. I get the same vibe as i get from bubs theme, it’s the raid bosses own thoughts, especially after reaching these points and clashing with the protagonist
Oh this theme, may as well named the "6 man choir" by the players, because this is one of the first and truly end game raid bosses in GBF, coming from the culmination of a 3 part event thats still regarded as one of the highest points in the series, its a raid that, while now has been overshadowed by newer harder ones, it was incredibly intimidating at first, as it had one mechanic that, no matter what, spelled completely that the raid failed, pretty much if you do certain things during the raid and reach an hp threshold of the boss, you get a limit, 6 characters in total, from any player in the raid, if they die, EVERYONE DIES, coupled with the own raid time limit being 30 minutes instead of the standard 1h30m made it so stressful since it required often cooperation with a game that has no real chat ingame and required somethig like discord, and could be easily sabotaged, and still can be
Adding to that, this same raid is the point where you can say a player has gotten past the point of a newbie, to a normal player
And The End continues to randomly mulch runs, you open the raid up, get three real good players who help you push after a short wait for joiners, Sephiroth comes down, The Final Countdown stacks come online, and then two randoms join and get blasted by the 30k opener and woops there goes the whole run
I have been waiting for this since the first time you reacted to Empyreal Ascension
So glad to see you review another granblue song!!! :D
I just tried fighting this raid in practice mode (solo) last week. Lucilius swiftly wiped the floor with my team, and I only managed to eliminate 15% of his HP. 💀
I've heard a few songs before this channel and I've heard the name but I was never familiar with Granblue.
The start reminds me of classical music, the organ sounds very good the choir is quite nice. This kind of sounds like a cutscene song at the start, I can imagine it. The really soft section where the vocals come in is an unexpected change up. The singers vibrato is very good, they sound like they've had some real good classical training. This has so many twists in it, I did not expect the electric guitars to come in. It's got this big feeling which is why the song isn't that fast, it has a lot of power behind it though. The synth was a nice touch, I'm liking the guitar chords. Key change and chords remind me of Power Metal, when they layer the instruments into this big climax is transcendent. I can hear some little sprinkles of emotion to where this is more than just an epic piece. I very much enjoyed this piece, great stuff.
When this event first came, and this music played... Was beyond epic and got me really hyped.
Granblue in general has insanely awesome music. I absolutely love the GB Versus soundtrack
Always good to see granblue thanks for sharing
As a sub rank 200 player, this raid where this theme play still haunts me. An amazing piece that provides the feeling of transcendence and hopelessness that plays at the finale in one of best side stories in Granblue.
Oh man, I asked for Zero a year and a half ago on XIV's Sephirot track, and here it finally is.
Back then, I also mentioned following this up with What Makes the Sky Blue, as when this song ends in the raid, you're on the last 1/3rd of the fight, and the main theme for the event where this track debuts plays instead.
Alternatively, you can follow it up with what is essentially another character's direct response to this track: Existence -New King Mix-.
Song is basically about the fall of the angel Lucifer. Goes from questioning God to rebelling and deciding to wipe out everything back to Zero. Typical jrpg final boss stuff but it's done so well.
what's funny is that in the years since this song/story came out, we've had more and more characters come out of the woodwork to essentially say "his goal sucked, but he was right in some ways, God actually is a Problem"
@@oleub23 [Mock the absent god] meme
Quick correction, this is lucilius, who is *not* lucifer. And also not lucio. The 3 look similar but are very different and serve very different purposes. Lucilius was an astral, lucifer was created by lucilius, and lucio existed long before both of them
@@ensamvarg8504 nah my guy, he means metaphorically the song describe how similar it is to Lucifer in the bible.
@@ensamvarg8504 Lucio is Helel Ben Shahar basically
My favorite event with a killer track to add.
i have memories of first week of this raid, ooooo god the pain and the stress
12 minutes long of epicness
The MINUTE you said Sonata Arctica I thought "This dude is going to absolutely LOVE Sandalphon"
More or less one of the harder endgame bosses (well currently due to power creep he is not THAT hard anymore).
Originally he was the endboss of one of Granblue Fantasies Anniversary Events called "What makes the sky blue" a three part Event. Probably one of my favorite Side Stories in the game if not in games in general.
Jesse: Getting philosophical, here
Song: **Guitar start**
He's goddamn right.
hearing this music for first time on my lv 150 of granblue back then, blows my mind (how epic it is and difficult the fight)
Yeeeessss! Been waiting for this one! GIVE PRAISE!!!🎉
Granblue Fantasy composers always one up themselves because as more story gets added, they make harder bosses, so they just gotta keep making more and more epic musics to fit the new bosses. It's insane. When you think it can't get even better, it just gets better.
Has someone requested Diasporas Theme/Burning Out The Blue yet? That ones gotta be next for Granblue
I love/hate that listening to this song I'm and recognizing which triggers are happening at certain moments of the song. Its my favorite aspect of GBF boss music that goes along with you as you fight through the battle
This music was the reining king for 4 years... and it was dethroned a month ago
Narita released a new mega banger music
Which one ? Not following GBF anymore so I don't know
Based on the timing, maybe he means And You...
dying to paradise lost while this plays in the bg hits different
"MITEIRUKA RUSHIFER!" *dies cus forgot the 30k hp entry damage*
good old memories of people saboing trains
Guess whos coming back as a raid boss in the new granblue relink 😅. Prepare to hear this song again
Complete with the orchestral version too!
Keep in mind the song is structured in a way that is to represent boss phases,
We will be eating when Relink 😊drops
I kinda want to play Granblue again this fight/ story even was so good I still gush about it years after doing it, also Vira best girl
Cultured choice of best girl
I wished he heard Paradise Lost before this, coz there is a section there where the melody of the chorus is played before the final bridge
this song is absolutely one of the best tracks in gaming. This is Narita's baby, his white whale, absolutely his magnum opus. This plays during one of the Hardest boss raids in the game. The boss' name is Lucilius, who is a clone of Lucifer. Lucifer rejected him for godhood over a different clone named Sandalphon and Lucilius basically went off the deep end, and this fight is the climax of a 3 part event that even has plotlines that run thru Granblue Versus (with Belial and Beelzebub). To this day it is still a bar for which to measure your in-game power. Beating it at all isnt super hard these days with some help due to some powercreep but beating it solo still is. Basically if this bad guy wins, the universe is over, will be rewritten in his image.
A little correction, Bahamut had 2 "prophets", Shalem and Helel, Helel later went into hiding (Later naming himself Lucio). After Bahamut separated himself into his Sky form and Astral form and created the Astrals, Lucilius was born (Also known as Faa-san) a perfect being. Faasan alone in his perfection created the Primarchs, and he created the most perfect of them in his image, thats the Supreme Primarch Lucifer. its a little confusing yeah, even more in Japanese because all 3 of them have the same name and they just differentiate them with the pronunciation of the same name.
some of the lyrics in that vid were definitely off, but man i love this song sm
It feels weird to hear this theme without the sick guitar solo at the beginning from the Stella Magna album
There is another version of this song which i highly highly reccomend and it is called Zero from the album Songs from granblue fantasy stella magna!!!
It is different a bit but in a very good way.
Wasn't expecting a Granblue song, clicked this video with a quickness. It ain't my favorite of the bunch, that belongs to Beelzebub's theme from Granblue Versus, but it's up there along with Belial's theme.
Existence and Parade Lust ?
At first time try the 170 rank
Sudden 30k plain damage
It was disaster lol luckyly my dark team around 50k hp damn trully epic moment right there
Still waiting for you to hear "Existence", Beelzebub's raid song. It's my favorite of the angel bunch, Im sure you will like it!
Here again because the man himself is in Versus Rising & will be in Relink
still can't believe this song came from a browser gacha game
fr. I see so many of these weird gacha games in 'reacts' type videos and they always seem to be bangers
I always like to refer to gbf as "Final Fantasy mobile game in all but name" because really,thats what it IS,especially since a lot of ff connected people were involved when it started and it SHOWS
Kenkyuu no seika da Kenkyuu no seika da Kenkyuu no seika da Kenkyuu no seika da Kenkyuu no seika da Kenkyuu no seika da Kenkyuu no seika da Kenkyuu no seika da Kenkyuu no seika da Kenkyuu no seika da
You previously heard 9:40 in Parade's Lust (bow chika). This melody is used to connect Lucillius with Belial from that song.
I always felt it sounded like Paradise Lost (the “Let me feel the power that can rip me to shreds” part) which is more associated with Avatar
@@jungotori4918 It IS from paradise lost,but jesse hasnt heard that one yet,only Parades lust
ASDHGJFKDTHMKDSOMBS it's finally here, how long has it been
18:37
Is that Medievil 2?
見ているかルシフェル
パラダイスロスト
？？？「そんなに死に急ぎたいか」
Still remember how scary this song when u join first time damn wipe out my party
Ohhh , its the 30k and you are dead on entry song
Browser game by the way
Believe it or not, this version, the most commonly uploaded one, actually cuts about 2-3 minutes off the end. There's a soft orchestral bit that plays in the final few turns of the boss fight. I know of one upload that has the missing bit- Zero どうして空は蒼いのか
Most of the uploaders probably don't really consider it a part of the song. It's not on the official track. But I still feel like not having it there leaves something missing.
I mean, they're not wrong. Even in official release, the "What Makes The Sky Blue" part is not listed/added to "Zero"
It's its own song, What Makes the Sky Blue
I mean, if you fight the non HL version, it wouldn't play that piece to begin with (but neither will it play the initial chorus and just skip to the vocals segment immediately)
Its a shame the song that plays at the last 10% of hp isn't included cause its a mood
Edit: the song is "グランブルーファンタジー-どうして空は蒼いのか"
AKA
What Makes the Sky Blue
For clarification:
It plays when Lucilius has 175m hp (35%) remaining, this includes his wings. If his wings are alive, then it does not precisely play at 35% and may play only right before he dies if his wings have too much hp
Which is weird because 35% is a trigger for Paradise Lost, but this will not happen if his wings are dead
also, What Makes the Sky Blue's always starts from its 2:56 mark whenever it starts
GIVE PRAISEEE
FOR HE HAS NO EQUAL
FGO has a lot of music like this.
そんなに死に急ぎたいか？
iron maiden vibes from 2nd half
