werewolfgold Report post Posted July 19, 2016 Yeah, the first three notes in the chorus of One Dawn are the same as Marionette (A-G-F, quarter-quarter-half). It's unfortunately glaring since it's right at the start, but nothing else in the chorus melody is the same. But, I like how...serene they made it. Like you're in a field with daisies and stuff. METAL DAISIES. There's a lot of major chords in there, when Awe of She was basically all sadness. And the strings are really prominent. I'd say this song really stands out among the others in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rotlung Report post Posted July 19, 2016 'Marionette' and 'One Dawn' are quite similar in the sense that they are both in the same key - 'Marionette' is mostly in D minor, whereas 'One Dawn' is in F major. D minor and F major are relative keys, so they basically use the same notes throughout. Both songs also run at a very similar tempo (though 'One Dawn' uses a lot more double-pedal drumming compared to 'Marionette', not unlike modern power metal. A comparison can be made in this regard with both versions of 'Condemnation Wings' (BlazBlue Tsubaki themes)). That's not forgetting that both songs, as other posters have brought up, start the chorus with the A-G-F notes (though the 'One Dawn' chorus goes right away for straightforward F major chord, whereas 'Marionette' starts with a more tense G minor in the chorus), with the instrumentation stopping and letting the A-G notes shine on their own. Pausing the instrumentation while starting the next section with just a couple of melodic notes seems to be something Daisuke likes to play around with. 'Diva Of Despair' and 'Bloodline' (BlazBlue Ragna/Jin vs Izanami theme) are some other examples of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NemesisZeru Report post Posted July 27, 2016 Could anyone who has the Revelator soundtrack post the lyrics for 'The Ship'? The song's really grown on me, and I'm pretty sure on like, 85% of the lyrics, but it'd be neat to figure out for sure what the rest are! I've been looking all over with no luck yet, so figured I'd try here, hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ship "The Bruce" The ship of "Captain Steel" It was great and I longed to be like him Fiery red, and big as a castle Only one ship like it in the world It is out dated Everyone forgot it The sail is torn, and the mast is broken too Blues is idle abandoned in the distance I try reaching my arms out, but too far to touch Sail on For the blues. To get back the shine Someone laughed I dare say No more things to throw away My ship is small and is not painted The keel is at the end of my rope Oh sail, please endure the raging storm. I'll try, I'll bet on my dream, having only one. "The Bruce" The ship of "Captain Steel" It run so fast no one else could follow It's long lost, sailed in to the sunset The only ship I want in the world Sail on For the blues. To get back the shine. Someone laughed I dare say No more things to throw away My ship is small but is still floating countless scratches are baked yellow Oh sail, guide me through this maelstrom I'll try, I'll bet on my fate, having only one. "The Bruce" The ship of "Captain Steel" It shined so much you could hardly see it Now I am old, but somehow I'm happy One day a lad came up and said Your ship is small and is not painted The keel is at the end of your rope But still it's the kind of ship I adore Oh please, tell me, How could I get one of those I told the brat that he already knows The answer lies there within your heart Set sail, Set sail Bon voyage You try, you bet on your life, having only one.

Rotlung Report post Posted August 17, 2016 So, Mai just got announced for BBCF. I'm actually quite curious about how her theme is going to be like. Since she doesn't have a spin-off game like Es from which something can be pulled, I guess Lord Ishiwatari will be composing her theme? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vulcan422 Report post Posted September 7, 2016 Full version of Reincarnation, the Nine vs. Kokonoe & Celica theme, is available. As usual, it's fucking godlike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlazGearRegalia Report post Posted September 7, 2016 Reincarnation... Honestly, I'm a little torn on how to feel about. Don't get me wrong, it's really neat by itself, and it definitely fits our twisted Mercury family, but to me it seems like it's unsure about what kind of theme it's trying to be. It feels like a battle theme but at the same time, it doesn't... But maybe I'm thinking too much into it, I still like it, nonetheless! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vulcan422 Report post Posted September 7, 2016 Jaeger and In The Shadows are also available now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rotlung Report post Posted September 8, 2016 I like it. That weird synth sound used kind of threw me off, but the riff in which it's used is pretty fantastic (I guess it also works because Kokonoe's theme 'Science Fiction' also had lots of those synth elements). I'm also hearing a bit of the 'One Dawn' verse riff in this, which is pretty cool. Something about the theme makes it seem a little more depressing than say Bloodline (which is almost majestic/heroic in the chorus) - I swear you can almost hear some of the characters going "I don't really want to fight". It's definitely a battle theme, but I'd call this a battle theme with misgivings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlazGearRegalia Report post Posted September 9, 2016 Alright, I got to listen to all the new music [including non battle themes, and of course, we have yet to hear the full of the Es and Mai themes] I think I love CF's OST a little more than CP's OST [and this is coming from someone who LOVES the CP OST] Here's my feels on three of the non battle themes: The Main Menu theme sounds really majestic, like you're wandering in a peaceful realm, away from the chaos that is BlazBlue's world of time traveling, mindfucking, heartbreaking battlefield of a world. The Next Stage theme feels pretty tragic... Almost as if it's foreshadowing a heartbreaking scene in the story mode... Please let me be wrong. As for the Game Over theme... It's peaceful, like as if you're character dies but is somehow relieved to finally be free from the madness of the world... But those are just my interpretations! I'm really looking forward to the themes of Es and Mai. And one last note: Daisuke... I think you've really come a long way from when you first started composing for BlazBlue. Keep rocking dude...

Duh I was expecting that ArcSys will put "Stardust Memory" with burning sound effect again. The same theme which was in the CT and CS. In general I was hoping that the one very good tune and the most underatted as well "The Road To Hope" will be able to hear in the Central Fiction but because tone of this game seems to be even darker than Calamity Trigger I doubt about that possibility. The same thing with jazzy/bossa-nova like "Lakeside". On the other hand Ragna is going to meet with Tao in the "Story" so there is a chance for more calm music. Es theme it's remixed and speed up track from XBlaze Code: Embryo (yes, yes I know that I am writing about obvius things) and originally it calls... just XBLAZE. However this remix... is amazing in the "Es" introduction. Definitely better then archetype. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On another note: Holy Tsuki no Shihai, Naoto's theme in the demo sounds pretty different than from the arcades. Daisuke must've thought it wasn't good enough or something. Intriguing...
