the vibe of each of the flora's themes
adele, adele's oath: a sacred, but mythical feeling befitting the virtuous knights from the old stories that used to be told to children. the choir is singing the knights' praise, perhaps symbolizing their initial glory days, serving the god-king during his heyday before ultimately betraying him and breaking their oath to protect him. however, it continues to have a non dominating presence in the background, symbolizing the present. although the knights of the einherjar was replaced with the militaristic high flora army, the flickering flame of a noble knight has not died yet. it was alive in adele, who remained loyal to her oath to the god-king to the very end.
khali, oblivion: the drums and choir ramping up throughout the song symbolizes her bubbling feeling of deep anger boiling over. she has a strong yearning for vengeance against ypsilon for the undeserved death of her family.
illium, death of asylum: the choir is singing to the metaphorical revival of the god of the verdent flora; illium's fusion with the elder crystal symbolizes him inheriting their will and carrying on the burning passion of the verdent flora race through the pride of their invention of mechanical wings. there's a sense of determination, but a quiet anger festering among them as well.
ark, recollecting memories: i miss my wife tails, i miss her a lot
#me thoughts#ok for a real analysis of arks theme#its obvious the beginning is meant to evoke nostalgic feelings of ark and albaire attending the military academy#like come on ark had a dream in his 255 quest about albaire waking him up and doting on him the second he thought ark was unwell LMAOOO#its supposed to be happy memories before the bittersweet ones kick in when that part of the song drops (whoch suspiciously sounfs like the#theme to black heaven but i digress)#the bitter memories are that of ark realizing there isnt something right with the high flora army which sours his relationship with albaire#when he tells him that they have to remain strong but ark obviously doesnt want to look the other way since hes an upstanding guy like that#but i honestly think it can also be interpreted as ark missing albaire a lot. he misses the good times they used to have when they were so#young and naive in the academy. that they didnt know that their efforts to rise up the ranks would amount to basically committing genocide#on the innocent races in grandis#it wasnt supposed to be like this#is what im hearing ark say perhaps#LOL not rise up the ranks i mean graduate the academy initially then rise up the ranks#i love maplestory#theres a lot more i can yap about the end note but i want to sleep
