that's freakin awesome

This is the one song I wish I could play fully on the piano.

This song doing gods work

@@seekittycat Genocide?

great taste

"May" she become as couraged and goodhearted as the character is. But "may" not repeat her mistakes ;)

I honestly don't get why people don't hate Beatrix. She was willingly involved in multiple counts of genocide against innocent people.

​@@Lycanthromancer1 "willingly" is not exactly the case, Beatrix had no idea that branhe was going to nuke the hell out of the tree. Beatrix was tasked with retrieving the gemstones. She had been told that the burmecians were plotting an attack on alexandria, and had no reason to think otherwise at this point. She went to burmecia as a preemptive attack. which had all for the most part been evacuated. Meanwhile kuja and the black mages were the ones killing anyone who resisted. In Cleyra beatrix didnt kill anyone, he task still to obtain the stone. she entered the chapel, took the stone and made an escape. ignoring everyone and retreating to the red rose. she then witnesses what brahne is willing to do (aka nuke the crap out of everything) she begins to question her morality and loyalty. Also remember she has been the general of the alexandrian army for years, which was commanded by a none insane brahne for many years prior) There was no reason to question orders given, and would have thought the intel was sound. Beatrix leaves the alexandrian army after rescuing garnet. So.. canonically. Beatrix never kills anyone in the game. People love her BECAUSE of the above, she turns against her commander, she questions her loyalties as well as morality. She swears to protect the princess and becomes a far better person. (also the beatrix mod expands on a lot of this when she joins the party in disk 3)

Those would definitely be on a list of covers I'd be sending to someone who'd recently played this game!

I'd absolutely be ecstatic if Jesse listened to her cover of the song. I listen every now and then because it's so good! I'm going to listen to it again right now in fact. ❤

Or as I first heard her, Katethegreat. I remember when I first discovered her back on Myspace of all things. Had a few chats with her over the years, she's a great musician and a really nice person.

Poor girl had been losing her voice and seen a few doctors. I hope her mending is going well and she can return to her passion.

the blood from my hand wont wash away wash away

Than the song reflected itself perfectly for you. For the character it was tight exactly had this reflection of past actions.

Ugh. I read this and (happy) cried picturing this ❤

Mine too!!!

@Phoenix Yep that's the one!

Rose of May is the name of the song. Loss of me is a translation issue

It's the other way around, Rose of May is Beatrix's theme, Beatrix is the rose. Roses seem to be something associated with Beatrix with the Red Rose airship too which she ends up commanding

Loss of Me is a fan translation. The only official localization was Rose of May.

I find it pensive, reflective. I agree that I don't think it's sad, I think it's about coming to terms with the horrible things she (Beatrix) did in her past and her commitment to being better.

Truth!

The story of a conflicted knight, sworn to one's duty despite knowing its wrong, a conflict of character. The music represents these dualistic beautifuly.

It's really too bad that Beatrix herself ruins it. The hate I feel towards her just sours any and everything she's involved with.

@@Lycanthromancer1 i feel like she needed more time for redemption. She literally just changes sides and its all good. Honestly she should have been a party member rest of the game.

@@brandonpritchard6696 Given that she was a willing party to multiple genocides and was dumb enough to be wondering if that's okay, I don't think it's possible for her to earn enough redemption to even make me feel neutral about her.

@@Lycanthromancer1 i guess it would be accurate though. Knights could not deny commands or they would likely be killed as traitors.

Where?

A lot of those games just have walls of sound. The only songs that are layered are ludwigs themes and the calm songs

Are they? They must require context or something. The sounds sound like nothing to me, for the most part. I gave up on those listens.

Maybe that depends on the person, but that definitely applies to me. I'm in the "music is a spoiler" camp lol

I think it plays one more time in Alexandria later in the game
