Awesome Music / Dragalia Lost

Go To

Even after the end of service, Dragalia Lost heavily stands out above quite a few other gacha games for having an astronomical soundtrack that's praised all over.

Spoilers will be off. You have been warned.

  • The title screen music, Owaranai Sekai de (In An Unending World) by DAOKO, really opens up the game well with a feeling of adventure for new and returning players. It is also the credits theme after the final battle against Xenos.
  • The Home Menu tracks, Home (Bokura no Network) and 2nd Home Music - Cinderella Step, feature bouncy beats and soft synthesiser music respectively that really make you feel at home.
  • The victory theme, played after an easy victory or a hard fought battle, is just a 5 second clip of ShibuyaK.
  • Ryusei Toshi is a very magical and whimsical unique boss theme. If you are a Kikuo fannote  you can immediately notice that he made this song together with Daoko.
  • The music that plays during the fights against the Greatwyrms is an incredibly catchy piece. Same goes for the High Brunhilda remix, which is just as good as the original theme, if not better.
  • Not only is Zodiark's unique battle theme, "The Sound of Hope", very good at being Sad Battle Music in stark contrast to the normal Greatwyrm theme, there's also the chant-like lyrics that can be interpreted as cries for help, which would be fitting, given his hostility towards the protagonists was not of his own volition. It shows up during Fractured Futures when facing Chronos Nyx.
  • The "Trick or Treasure" event boss music, DRIVE (DRAGALIA LOST Arrange), works well while fighting the infamous Pumpking. It really drops the beat.
  • Oni-san Kochira (Mr. Demon, Look This Way!) has amazing haunting dubstep when fighting Phraeganoth, Hypnos, Valfarr, Thanatos, Qitian Dasheng, Barbary and Chronos. The lyrics treat each boss as a game of tag and they're it.
  • Every song from the Resplendent Refrain event is just godly to listen to.
  • And now for the New Year's event, New Year's Tidings: Fortune from Afar, we have Dawn that makes you do the Dance of the Sunrise to the fast and catchy beats when fighting Ieyasu and Shishimai.
  • The Void Battle theme now adds Yume Utsutsu (Dreams and Reality). This is a theme for bosses that are taking the kid gloves off and need proper strategy to take down, especially as the clock winds down. There's a Void Jeanne d'Arc remix that makes the fight against her much more harsh since one of the kindest dragons can just as well be corrupted.
  • The "Valentine's Confections" Event Menu theme, ~ 24h, is a funky theme made by Daoko and Yoh Kamiayama. Their lyrical version is not in the game but in her album.
  • The Fire Emblem theme song sung by both DAOKO and Scha Dara Parr in the Fire Emblem Lost Heroes crossover event has a mix of the traditional tune of the Fire Emblem theme song and rap music.
  • Lizzie Freeman, the English VA of Lily, did an English cover of "Bokura no Network" which has cutouts of the main gang and herself dancing along to the beat.
  • Remember that catchy Select Quest menu music? Well now there's a whole of that from The Mercurial Gauntlet challenge event, "Vs. Fafnir Roy III", when you're fighting the giant golden dragon and beat his challenges to receive loads of treasures in under 60 seconds real time!
  • During the One Year Anniversary celebration, the main menu has the theme titled, well, "a n n i v e r s a r y." The music video has her dancing and singing along with the cast of Dragalia Lost as well.
  • Daoko does it again with Oide Oide, which plays against powerful Astral Raid Bosses, making it sound like a dance party.
  • The main theme song to the Stirring Shadows is "Onaji Yoru (That Same Night)," a haunting theme for a Lovecraftian story.
  • Mega Man: Chaos Protocol has the stage theme be "Dr. Wily Stage 1 (Dragalia Remix)" worthy of not just Dragalia Lost, but also Mega Man.
  • Chapter 11 adds in "Ichiban Boshi" (First Star) as the unique boss music against Laxi.
  • The music that plays for "The Agito Uprising" bosses features epic use of instruments that give off the indications of the evil that you are now having to fight. Both phases. If that wasn't enough, there's also a version of "A frenzied rage" that plays for cutscenes in story mode. The Legend difficulty ups that epic with even more intense tunes that match the equally intense battle. Just like the regular fights, Legend has a different battle theme for each phase. Those song names respectively are "Gigantic Madness" and "A Gifted Tormentor."
  • The "Scars of the Syndicate" event has "Get Up" by MADKID as its theme, a harder and angstier piece compared to usual Dragalia Lost tracks.
  • "Timeworm Torment" has "Force Your Way" by Takayoshi Tanimoto as its theme, which ends up being fast paced and intense in contrast to the former.
  • In Chapter 14, when Zena comforts and talks to Euden about saving Zethia, the emotional fast-paced song "case i" by Lucrezia plays. The song's lyrics reflects Euden's desperate and conflicting thoughts about saving his sister. Without the story context, its lyrics can be considered as a Villain Song especially if you apply its use in Forgotten Truths to Mordecai's feelings towards Ilia.
  • "Rhythmic Resolutions" has two versions of the song "Bon Fever", and the Festival version. Both songs were sung by Sekihan and they're both really catchy.
  • "Doomsday Getaway" has "Steath Dance" by Shiki Aoki, which is not only catchy in its beat and lyrics, but also very similar to the main theme to Danganronpa.
  • "Forgotten Truths" has "We Are the Lights", which plays not only as the theme for fighting against Morsayati at his world-destroying prime, but also as a theme of hope that the world can be saved. Not only that, but this theme is entirely in English! The first half starts off with an orchestral tune, then changes to rock and dubstep after cancelling his party-wiping Desperation Attack. The vocal version is saved for the Omega versions of this fight, as well as the Morsayati Reckoning quests, which really hammers home during the climax.
  • The theme of "The Phantom's Ransom" is "Maybe in the Next Life," an operatic piece of a princess caught between two warring nations. Developer's Foresight kicks in as there's two versions, one for Bella and one for Karina.
  • "Princess Connect Re:Dive: A Voracious Visitor" gives us "Rainbow Riders" sung by Pecorine's voice actress Mao Ichimichi, which also serves as a He's Back! moment when Pecorine makes a Big Damn Heroes moment against Aether.
  • The theme for "Divine Deception", titled "Hollow Dance" performed by SiN, is a quick paced rock that gives off and upbeat feel of fighting an archangel. It also gets used for the fight against the Fallen Angels in Rise of the Sinister Dominion.
  • "Judgment Day," the epic theme of the Archdemons of the Sinister Dominion, befits a demon that has been released from their prison.
  • "Dawn of Dragalia" has "Because of You" by Teruaki "EDDY" Takahashi serving as the raid theme as you fight against Elysium, who's decided that humanity is beyond redemption when they've freed The Other from his imprisonment. This is more Alberius's theme song as the moment that would define him into becoming The Paragon. It also gets used in Chapter 21 Part 1 when his descendant Euden along with Nedrick destroy Elysium.
  • "The Children of Yggdrasil" has "Unique" by WON, with lyrics that can be interpreted as the clashing of ideals that Luca ends up having with Sarisse and Isaac over tradition which leads to Yggdrasil's death and rebirth. The instrumental theme returns for Chapter 20 as the party scales the outside of the Sacred Tree.
  • "Toll of the Deep" brings us "Promise of Blue" which has Lucretia once again grace us with an absolutely beautiful song that sounds perfectly fitting for the underwater setting of the event. The melody is calm and has a soft drumbeat with beautiful vocals that truly sound like a mermaids gentle serenade.
  • The "Knights of Alberia" event's main theme is "Into My Soul" with vocals by spi. A hard-hitting dubstep song with lyrics lamenting past mistakes, as well as being used as the music for the fight with Harle at the climax of the event's story. This theme returns in Chapter 22 Part 2 for the fight against Nedrick.
  • "Faith Forsaken", the Third Anniversary Event, has "Light a Fire" by Honoka Watanabe, which shows how the situation is more dire than usual: Satan is on his way to being revived and the Apostles of Ilia, the Alberian Royal Family, and even HARLE"even...?"  have to team up to defeat this threat to the world that makes The Other look like a sneeze! The second part of the song puts emphasis on the power of the Apostles as they use their enhanced power together to deal a destructive blow to Satan as it goes from the first part's desperate and struggling tone to a hopeful and epic one. The first part of the song gets used in Chapter 22 Part 1 when Euden and his companions battle Bahamut inside of Nedrick's mind.
  • "Carnival" by Nakayama Satsuki from "The Clockwork Heart" is an amazing rap song that has haunting notes and catchy beats blended together for Halloween. This plays when Laxi and Sylas are determined to perform a play for the playwright who wants to make his story appear in a play for his sick little sister, who is in critical condition.
  • The first phase of the Primal Dragon Trials is backed by an incredibly majestic song that hints at the immense power the Greatwyrms had in their past lives. Once phase 2 hits, the music skyrockets in intensity as the ancient power once lost to the Greatwyrms is reawakened in all its glory. It even contains a snippet of the regular Dragon Trials theme in it.
  • It's All Fiction by Yaneura Syobou is a very upbeat and rocking track that works great for the royal siblings joined mission to fight against Alberius. It has a rather gentle start for the verses, but as the main refrain gets closer, the guitars and drums to get more aggressive before going full blast for the refrain proper. It really gets you pumped up for a battle against the legendary hero himself while keeping you rooting for the new generation of heroes that came after him.
  • Destiny (Phase 2) is the theme song for "Advent of Origin," serving as a fitting Final Boss theme against True Bahamut, aka The Origin, as the game heads towards its Grand Finale.
  • Beginning of the End is the dramatic and foreboding song that accompanies the first phase of Xenos, climactic and fitting for the incredibly high stakes for our heroes to take on the dreaded Progenitor to finally stop Xenos' destruction of their worlds. As fitting as the dreadful mood is for the final battle, Xenos' One-Winged Angel forms are accompanied by Lucrezia's Coda, an exhilarating and booming Triumphant Reprise of "Overture", with powerful energy to emphasize how you're finally turning the tides of this once unstoppable creator deity, and slowly but surely prevailing over the Progenitor's nigh-endless power, making the heroes' "The Reason You Suck" Speech towards Xenos in his Villainous Breakdown all the more powerful.
