"Forced Battle"[a] is a musical theme in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne used for scripted battles. It was composed by Shoji Meguro.
Game Appearances
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne
"Forced Battle" is used as the theme in minor or optional boss battles and other scripted battles forced upon the player, hence the track's title. As with the game's "Normal Battle" and "Boss Battle" themes, the track uses distorted, spoken voice samplings in its composition. These were created by Shoji Meguro combining samplings of his voice with samplings of macOS Text-to-Speech's Albert voice.[1] Shoji Meguro has stated in the liner notes of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Original Soundtrack that the voices are spoken excerpts taken from the Book of Revelations.[2] The exact spoken lines, however, are left unknown, prompting a number of unconfirmed theories and fan-made lyrics.[b]
The theme appears as track 10 in both Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Original Soundtrack and Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Sound Collection.
Trivia
- The theme has also been referred to by fans as "Fierce Battle", however this is a misnomer of the track's official title.
- The theme has also been attributed unconfirmed lyrics by fans, with the track's chorus notoriously claimed to be "One more god rejected". These fan-made lyrics have grown exponentially in popularity among the fandom and are often falsely listed as the track's intended lyrics, however the actual spoken lines used in the track have not been explicitly confirmed by Shoji Meguro.[b]
Notes
- ↑ Japanese: 強制戦闘, Hepburn Kyousei Sentou
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Although the fan-made "One more god rejected" lyrics have not been confirmed to be the actual spoken excerpts used in the theme, they have since been used for the Shin Megami Tensei 30th Live: Band of Shadows concert at 2023's Anime Expo and listed on Spotify. It should be noted, however, this was likely done in response to the lyrics' popularity and were not sourced from the composer, as the themes "Normal Battle" and "Boss Battle" do not have lyrics listed despite also using distorted voice samplings.
