New - "Somnus"- Drammatica, Final Fantasy XIII Versus

[cg123ize]

agree

[9YearPianoParty]

You got the lyrics wrong. Just sayin'.

[lolahoneyforyou]

yup this is good quality

[ollyisgonzalin]

Oh Shimomura, you never disappoint.

[yellowbird404]

Op is fag

[PhazonX]

I wish they'd release the up-to-date full version of this song on an album. The version seen in the other trailers, with a more dramatized intro, followed by the choral section.

[threet777]

the lyrics dont make sense when translated to english.

[edgefusion]

@threet777 Latin is a very difficult language to translate from so some interpretation on behalf of the reader is required.

[LoBadgets]

Hmm. They could even get in into Drammatica before the game came out.

[MrSh1nob1]

the red 11 is deffinately deaf- or

after a ejaculation..

[yoitsjeremy]

If you take out the vocals, to me it sounds like something from kingdom hearts.... but it still has that huge aura to it that just makes it different than anything she has ever done! Yoko shimomura is brilliant

[TimesToo]

@ Balyr

Bro, the whole story about the gods and their role in the game was revealed months ago. Google is your friend.

[REChronic54]

so the sheet music for Somnus have not been released yet?

[Balyr]

One last bit: The below two posts can in some way be confirmed by the fact that the background logo for the game is that of a man (or maybe woman) with angel wings (perhaps those of a god?) who is asleep.

[Balyr]

The song refers to a sleeping god that is being kept asleep, most likely by characters in the game. It also references that this god will awaken; but how, when, and why, as well as what will happen afterwards, is still unknown.

[Balyr]

Correct Lyrics, from the FF Wiki: Deus dormit et liberi ignem faciunt numquam extinguunt ne expergisci possint Omnia dividit tragedia caram amandamquae Et nocte perpetua In desperatione Auroram videre potest mane tempus expergiscendi Translation: The god sleeps And the children light a fire That'll never go out So that he may never awaken All does tragedy Presently divide All does it send away And within this endless night In despair A sunrise can be seen The morn'; the time of awakening

[sasunarufan22]

HURRY THE HELL UP AND COME OUT WITH THIS EPIC GAME SQUARE ENIX OR I'M SERIOUSLY GONNA CRY!!! YOU'VE TOURCHERD US LONG ENOUGH!!!!DX

[KayinOne]

Thanks for uploading this !

If you like it, please check my Final Fantasy Versus XIII fanmade OST project ! Thanks ! =3

[SarcasmRokx]

My goosebumps all around my body popped and i nearly bled to death. Good thing the ambulance came and tried to resesitate me in slow motion to the rhythm of this song. I survived.. the only reason i don't get goosebumps anymore while listening to this because.. they popped.

[suchaboy20]

the latin language possess a lot of emotion and life, its an ancient language that should never be forgotten.

[Folowne]

I wonder if SONY and SQUARE-ENIX will make a bundle like they did with Final Fantasy XIII. That would be so damn awesome. Game; thusly, looks promising so far. Keep my fingers crossed.

[SGDonZ]

This song is very beautiful and touching. 1 Word. Amazing.

[monalisa0416]

very pretty and fitting song. now, only if I could understand the lyrics.

[Chibiko822]

@monalisa0416 Lyrics (English): A kingdom sleeps children make groans that are never diminished nor can they hope A man is divided he faces a tragedy and is sent away And to travel at night from destruction Is his other burden to bear every fear is his punishment which he must endure throughout time and from it ascend :) Hope this helped.

[MrRazzlezx]

Tellus dormit et liberi in diem faciunt numquam extinguunt ne expergisci possint Omnia dividit tragedia coram amandum quae Et nocte perpetua ehem vel vera visione par oram videbo te mane tempu expergiscendi

[TheLastShadow88]

@MrRazzlezx wrong

Et nocte perpetua

in desperatione

par oram videbo te

mane tempus expergiscendi

[MrRazzlezx]

You know, it probably wouldn't be as gorgeous as it is without the latin. There's something about the language that's...indescribable.

[rpggame16]

This is really beautiful. I almost shead a tear listening to this.

[MrRazzlezx]

This song is gorgeous, and having been someone who's taken quite a bit of latin the lyrics are breathtaking and give me goosebumps.

[Chicagofirex591]

there is soo far 3 screeenshots of versus gameplay..one of which noctis is lunging towards an enemy and the other 2 pics are of him roaming around an enviornment.

go on google and type final fantasy 13 versus and go to the one thats says ff13 versus fansite...youll fine scans!

[Chicagofirex591]

[instanttomen]

10 people apparently don't like epic music.

[iCloudii]

This game will epic, this game will break the sales, this game will be the best..i just feel it

[Kairithenightmare]

awesome.

[CODENAMEVIDEOS]

If you put them together maybe it looks like versus is pulse maybe in the past or in the future since XIII, and agito looks like a l`cie war. But FF stories always are deep and confusing, so I doubt it will be that simply, maybe they will create it so a lot of crazy theories will come up.

[AlexanderCecilia]

cool that this song turned out to be the FF13V sountrack

i like it!

[Ricku13]

maybe the story will involve a kingdom before the pulse - cocoon war....dunno. plz dont say any spoiler im still in the middle of XIII :(

[cg123ize]

Now that ffxiii is out square better start revealing more about this game and agito xiii seriously we dont even know the basic plot of those two games. Thumbs up if you agree!

[FiopwnsASS]

That isn't quite true. Versus revolves around Noctis (the main guy), as he defends his kingdom from a rivaling nation, that attempts to steal "the last crystal" that Noctis Kingdom possesses. I don't know very much about Agito, but there's at least an outline for the story in versus.

[cg123ize]

True but that is really all we know plot wise it be nice if we at least knew wat he is defending the crystals from. Also all we no is a little bit of the gameplay in versus xiii(which we only heard from interviews, there are no screenshots and or videos about the gameplay) and the fact that the world map is returning(yes finally!) thats really about it.

[sauske772]

@cg123ize apparently the gameplay is supposed to be very similar to Kingdom Hearts....and i'm not complaining one bit!

[cg123ize]

@sauske772 i heard about the gameplay. i can already tell its goin to be fun since the kh series has the best gameplay in my opinion

kh gameplay+world map= AWESOME GAME

[sauske772]

@cg123ize exactly! the kh gameplay is great...now just imagine it with noctis. awesome

[cg123ize]

@sauske772 square better not betray their north american fans by not letting us hve it!

[sauske772]

@cg123ize i'm pretty sure they'll give it to us after japan gets it. a big name game like that isn't something square would hold from north america

[cg123ize]

@sauske772 good point

[sauske772]

@cg123ize mhm. i can't wait for it. it looks awesome, and it's probably one of the reasons i want to get a ps3

[cg123ize]

@sauske772 i already hve a ps3 so i dont need to worry

[sauske772]

@cg123ize lucky.

[cg123ize]

@sauske772 lol

[MuKo18]

@cg123ize

this was a year ago? wow! agito, or do i have to say type-0? is out now, and we don't have to wait to long till the publishing of xiii-2

But where is xiii versus? huh... I do hope that it comes out in 2012...

[hypershadow87]

if i was to search for music like this, what genre or type of music would this be described under, does anybody have at least some kind of idea??

[arcanejazz]

@hypershadow87 its opera.

[Enperuto]

only one word for this

EPIC

[sparkymagnet]

I know there isnt an official sheet music but is there one an unofficial one thats close?

[Inedrief]

Does anyone know any more songs like this one? I've been searching a long time but can't really find any great ones. If you can please do tell! Thanks.

[Seleniasibilla]

W ITALYYYY

[gochulord]

@Seleniasibilla It's Latin, not Italian you nigger.

[Seleniasibilla]

= _ = I know studying at school

[ZayLong]

harshness :/

[Myaiga]

@gochulord

wut a trolll

[Eradicateify]

@gochulord

LMAO

[kalcoslinder]

seriously

[FlareZero85]

My Italy in FFXIIIVersus XD, go Italy go!!!! XD, I hpe I a great game!!!!!

[emoSnake]

Here´s the translation: ENGLISH The kingdom sleeps and children sacrify theirselves day by day until they extinguish, and they will never awake. This tragedy destroys in front of them every beloved thing. And in this neverending night look there, the real vision on the edge I will see you and the next morning the time will awake.

[emoSnake]

I believe the correct lyrics are: LATIN (Original) Tellus dormit et liberi in diem faciunt numquam extinguunt ne expergisci possint Omnia dividit tragedia coram amandum quae Et nocte perpetua ehem vel vera visione par oram videbo te mane tempu expergiscendi

[GurenMARKII]

I believe the correct lyrics are:

"Et nocte perpetua

ehem desperatione

auroram videre pote(s)

mane tempus expergiscendi."

The "s" after pote is debatable as I cannot hear an s at the end. After listening to this song a couple of times, I think the above lyrics are accurate.

[ntanon]

i listen to this DAILY. so amazing.

[blueSkyye]

quae is pronounced kuh-wai but hell, this song is worth the very few pronunciation mistakes.

Can't wait for Versus XIII

[lightskinboi06]

Judging from Somnus and the music that was in the DΚΣ3717 trailer, I'm already assuming that this soundtrack will be epic!

[nbmaster313]

I love this song, cant stop lisening to this beautiful song.

same when i watch the Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailer, cant stop watching it, so beautiful!

[einszeile]

I still get goosebumps whenever I hear this song, beautiful, beautiful song

[AnotherMisfortune]

It makes no sense how great this song is, seriously, lol, I remember my mom cried when she heard it "my mom plays games...alot, she put me onto Chrono Trigger! go figure" anyway, I love this song beyond thought.

[blarhblurh]

this piece is so good. i have to say that andrea hopkins (the singer) did a very good job although other out there says her latin isn't accurate and Yoko did a very good job at composing such a song.its just dissappointing this is by far the only song (without any backgrounds) we've heard. Hope to hear more.

It totally suits Versus XIII. Extraordinary.

[pok3mon4ever]

awesome.

[xMitsunarix]

I love this song. It's wonderful.

[xXBloodyRockerXx]

Do words to desercirbe how amazing this is. I was 2 seconds away from crying. No words.

[darkcrystalhero]

same here mate

[TetraUbik]

@xXBloodyRockerXx oh gawd..

[KingdomHeartsDude93]

someone put a comment saying Yoko Shimomura joined Square Enix, well sorry to burst your bubble of joy, but Shimomura is a freelancing Composer, just like Uematsu. She left Square Soft ( which is Square Enix now ) back in the 1990's. it is unfortunate that Nobou Uematsu left Square Enix. He is, however working on ALL the soundtracks to Final Fantasy XIV (14) Online. This will probably be his last game before he goes back to freelancing for other games

[Icothean22]

I dident know that FFXIII Versus soundtrack came out yet

[PsychoKrazyTime]

It hasn't, just this song.

[SAKUTO10000]

it didnt... just 1 song

[litchichou]

It's wonderful =)

[alabzam]

This track is a masterpiece!

[kigmaster]

Rome: The Latin is a Wonderful language

I'm Italian and I live in Rome - Roma - S.P.Q.R. ^^

1:01 Italian word : TRAGEDIA

LATIN - ITALIAN

Evolution.

[GoldenHeartBR]

tragedia- brazilian portuguese, portuguese word also, xD there are other thaat sound a bit like too, but not sure.

[kigmaster]

Yes, but the word was born here in Italy.. :D

The Lexicon and the pronunciation of the word are in Italian.

Informed ^^

The word is Italian.

Italian is the evolution of the ancient Roman language

Latin.

[Shdinexus]

Actualy the word is Latin not Italian. You can't say the word is Italian because even if Italian is an evolution of latin it is not latin, like Portuguese is also an Evolution of latin but it is not latin. So to be 100% correct that word is Latin.

[kigmaster]

You do not know though that Italian language is the direct descendant of Latin, no coincidence that the Latin was born in Italy : )

Sorry for English

[mooglefourteena]

you are correct Latin is derived from Latin but as it has been described as 'lazy latin' by linguists

[LOG1K690]

Italian, English, Spanish, French, Portuguese; all these languages have Latin roots! it's obvious!

[LaurelsCrown]

@LOG1K690 everything true except for english, which has GERMANIC roots together with all the scandinavian countries + Germany. The languages which belong to the Romance family are Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian and Romanian. All or most of the words with latin roots that the english language has is because of the French invasion of 1066; therefore English is not even close to the romance languages in terms of possessing latin roots.

[kigmaster]

And then the game takes inspiration from the Italian country: environments, culture, city and monuments ( venice, piazza san marco), etc.

the game takes inspiration for the most part from the italian country.

[XxvallchenxX]

I was hopeless when I heared, Uematsu left Square Enix, but now i realize, that Shimomura is as good as him...maybe even better....this song proves it...and many songs from Kingdom Hearts...she is just great!!!

[TimeBomb014X]

i am speachles amazing song i like rock alot but this is simply amazing and this song alone may make me buy Final Fantasy Versus XIII

[mfsketchthis13]

So beautiful!

[year2kill2010]

This is awsum, its kinda like its got opra in it to with the women singing in it but i like it. If this were in an opera id go to see it, putting this with the video of ff verses13 would have been better but i still love the music

[Satanickus]

This is epicness... Hopefully official piano sheets will be released soon :D

[caiocleao]

Agreed with Matto Tribal, now Nobuo has someone to worry about xD

This isn't music... its art... =)

[GoldenHeartBR]

caiocleao

"This isn't music... its art... =) "

lol dude music is ALWAYS art =) but this one has pretty much in it.

[MattoTribal]

This song helps show that Yoko Shimomura will take over Nobuo Uematsu's legacy very nicely indeed.

[Triffo666]

this song is simply AWESOME

[krat0s9001]

I wanna break necks with my legs dammit!!!

[ShawnGlory]

I wanna break legs with my neck dammit!!!!

[morbentfel]

[Comicbookguy94]

[sashite4]

[Shopler]

Nice. I love Yoko Shimomaru and Nobou Uemetsa. To bad Uemetsa left SE.

[stephenxzhu]

wtf, when did nobuo leave?

omg

[pintor360]

he left to make his own studio, smile please

he still makes tracks for SE games, though.

[Shopler]

Sadly, he said will only assist with one or two songs on FFXIII.

[Maragan]

elr1cbros. Well I guess the game is gonna be a lot darker than the previous FF games

[kowa1985]

arghh..it is so cool!!!!!!!! I find it for a very long time....Thanks for uploading this... Thank you...

[elr1cbros]

The land sleeps As children sacrifies themselves as days passes until there are no more lives to be sacrificed. And they will never awaken again. Everything has been divided And in the existing fields of tragedy Everything has been destroyed before them And in the voidful night The truth shall reveal itself Like the view from the edge, I will see you And in the coming moning. Time will awaken. something like that.i'm very very rusty. and i improvised from other reference too.

[emanresu81]

is this the translation?

[elr1cbros]

yea

[Xedalenar]

Very impressive XD

I immediately thought of Latin when i heard her sing-such an opera language if you know what i mean

[riversavalon]

very kingdom heartsish

[helldrummer89]

[NarveidAnarion]
