A bit too much information~ BRD FAQ in the works

[Osaka]

~^_^~ This is what happens when crunch time in a game dev studio is over and you find you have too much time on your hands. Here is some information on the naming conventions of the Bard Songs for FFXIOnline. If I have incorrectly translated them, or if the info is incorrect let me know so I can correct it.

Song Terms for the Bard job of FFXI~ "A little too much information"


�~���l?`?@Meane = (meen) [Eng.] In the 16th and 17th centuries in England, this term was used to refer to the middle voice of a composition, between the treble and tenor.

�?�k�G�b�g?` Menuet (Also known as Minuet) = (MIN-yoo-et) [Fr.] An old dance of the Classical era in a slow, triple time. It originated in France, and was a most popular dance among European aristocracy until the end of the 18th century.

�s?|�A��?` Paeon = (pē`an) [Grk.] (ancient Greece) a hymn of praise (especially one sung in ancient Greece to invoke or thank a deity). Sometimes also written, less correctly, as Pae?fan.

���N�C�G��?` Requiem = (re-KWEE-um) [Lat.] The Mass for the Dead; it takes its name from the opening words, Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, meaning, "Rest eternal grant to them, Lord."

�X���m�f�B?` Threnody = (THREH-no-dee) [Eng.] A poem, a song, or an instrumental composition that expresses lament for the dead.

�}���{?@?` Mambo = (mambo) [Lat.]A music and dance of Latin American origin, usually known as the salsa.

�����o�C?` Lullaby = (LUL-luh-bye) [Eng.] A cradle song. A song sung to a child to soothe him to sleep, or a gentle, quiet song.

�I�؃��c�^?` Operetta = (oe-per-RET-tuh) [It.] Derived from opera, operetta is a less serious form of opera made up of spoken dialog, songs and dances.

�G�`��?|�h?` Etude = (AY-tood) [Fr.] A study or an exercise designed to train a musician technically as well as musically.

�o��?|�h?` Ballade = (Bah-LAH-du) [Fr.] A French poetic style and chanson type of the Middle Ages and Renaissance usually having a text dealing with courtly love.

�}?|�`?` March = (march) [Eng.] A processional or military short melody especially suited to parades, processions, or marital affairs. It is generally written in 2/4, 6/8, or 4/4 time.

�I?|�o?|�h?` Aubade = (OE-bahd) [Fr.] Morning music; a morning concert in the open air played for a specific individual (such as a member of a royal family), as opposed to a serenade which is played in the evening.

�t�B�i?|��?` Finale = (fih-NAH-le) [It.] The last movement in a composition of several movements.

�J�?��?` �@Carol or �ACarole
�@Carol = (KAIR-ruhl) [Eng.] English Medieval strophic song with a refrain (called a burden) repeated after each stanza. Now, erroneously, any Christmas song is called a carol.
�ACarole = (kah- ROLE) [Fr.] A common social dance of the 12th and 13th centuries. There are no surviving examples identified as a carole. It was replaced by the basse dance in the mid 14th century.

�K�{�b�g?` Gavoette = (gah-VOHT-(te)) [Fr.] A dance of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries possibly derived from the Renaissance branle. The gavotte became a stylized member of the Baroque dance suite, performed after the sarabande. It was considered a pastoral dance, written in 2 or in cut time and sometimes with a drone suggesting bagpipes.

�J�v���`�I?` Capriccio = (kah-PREE-choe) [It.] A fanciful and irregular species of composition somewhat like a fantasia. Often capriccios are composed for the piano.

�t�@���^�W�A?` Fantasia = (fan-tah-ZEE-ah) [It.] An instrumental composition in which a composer yields to his imagination in regard to form and organization of the composition. A fantasia follows no particular pattern or form, and is generally of fairly large dimensions. In the Baroque era it often served as an introductory composition to a fugue.

Hrmm.. that is a strange error for some reason, every time I type the kana for BO it translates it to "?E#123" Im not sure if this is occuring on all browsers because when I go into edit mode it is correct. >.<;; I will have to look into this. Well, enjoy as the Kanji translations will be next and I will just be appending them here to this post. ^^ Untill next time.

Important Kanji as no kanji means no macro. Oh and I also get that error too Osaka, i'm using IE something, probably 6 lol.

[Osaka]

Sugoi Sugoi Russta~!!~

This will make my project soo much easier. Im using a kanji dictionary so most of my translation are pretty litteral. For example my first attempts are such.

Lvl1. �W���E�\�E�L�փC�̃~���l
Lvl1. jyousoukiheinominne.

Lvl10. �R�E�̃X���m�f�B
Lvl 10. kounosurenodei

Which means I've been using the ON reading of the kanji which is all wrong and should be using the KUN reading if there is a seperate one. Which of course I missed for Lvl 10 "Threnody of Light" Arigatou Russtasan~

Ganbare~!!~

It goes on like that. Same Prefixes an Such.

[Osaka]

Thanks Teffie. I never found the word Paeon in my original search but it seems that Paeon is the "more correct" spelling of the word Pae'an. If you have time could you post the NA version tittles for all the songs. So far it seems that Square-Enix has gone and, ehem... , invented simpler tittles instead of translating the meanings. The first song ?d���R���̃~���l took me a while before I could settle on a good translation, but then SE just puts Knight's Minne. ^^ I translated that one to "Meane of The Heavy Wearing Calvary."

?d Increases the meaning of the next kanji or means "heavy" if it stands alone.
�� Means to be wearing something as in clothes or gear.
�R�� Mounted soldier/calvary
�� ownership of an idea~
�~���l Meane. I looked through the dictionaries online and still cant find any deffinition for the word Minne? Am I missing it somewhere? Is it even a word? hehe~

Of course who would want to see "Meane of The Heavy Wearing Calvary" in their song list? LOL~
Im still working on the remainder of the translations and it would be interesting to compare the JP version with the NA versions. ^^

Ganbare~!!~

[Teffie]

I could send you a Word Document that has all the EN Songs, Description, and Where to Buy them.

I made it myself (Yes I am that sad lol)

Beta really helpped me with the translation since I spent alot of time running from town to town finding the exact translation of the songs.

LV33 ���@�̃t�B�i?[�� Mahou no fina-re = Magic Finale

LV51 ��?��̃}�h���K�� Kengou no madorigaru = Blade Madrigal

LV53 �����m�̃}��?E#123; Tou ryuu shi no Manbo = Dragonfoe Mambo

LV36 �ό��J�?�����y?� Taikou karoru daiichigakusyou = <Element Name> Carol (I think :/ )

LV60 �h���̊M?��}?[�` Eikou no gaisenn ma-chi = Victory March

LV29 ���G��?i���}?[�` Muteki no shingeki ma-chi = Advancing March

LV27 �����B�̃����o�C Mamonotachi no rarabai = Hoard Lullaby
(The Lullaby that puts all Enemies to Sleep)

LV16 �����̃����o�C Mamono no rarabai = Foe Lullaby
(The Lullaby that puts 1 Enemy to Sleep)

LV33 ?E#123;�̃I?[�o?[�h Niwatori no o-ba-do = Fowl Awbaud
(not sure on spelling of Awbaud)




Im not really sure about the Minne lol. I pronounce it Min, and I guess its a made up word ^_^;

btw.. did I mention im a BRD fanatic
1 more Level to Go till im 30 RDM (on Midgardsormr) then I can finally be my BRD!

[subjectivist]

some history: Paeon is a nickname for the roman god Apollo, refering to his Healing abilities (medicinal, holy, herbal, everything)

so that's basically why Paeon is a regeneration song

[Malachite]

Teffei, could you please post your document that includes where to buy songs? I'm having a rough time finding the NPCs that sell songs. Many times the AH doesn't have a song and when it does it's incredibly overpriced. I'd rather not pay 2k-4k for a song that costs 500-2k at an NPC. :sweat:

[Niland]

This is my list that i use, i compiled it just from a tonne of different websites (mainly japanese ones) and wandering around the shops in game...i don't hold any claim over this list: its freely available information so feel free to abuse it if you can make any use of it

i'm sure there is a bunch of errors :p (my copy at home has a bunch of prices/corrections etc all penciled in on top) maybe i'll edit this once i get all the prices together and confirm some of the high level songs (bastok hasnt been high enough for me to check the 60+ songs yet)

I'm thinking of compiling a list of weapons for Bard, what do you think? This is kinda of spurred on by the fact that Garuda's Dagger is so dam good and I look foward to using it at 65. I've also done well with my Dark Sword too and theres some daggers along the road that rocked.

[Niland]

heres my updated version.

songlist

prices can change i was told, haven't seen that happen for me...

but anyway the prices are accurate enough to let me know when someone in the AH is trying to rip you off^^

please dont post my link anywhere, just copy the info if you need it!

[Niland]

did a load of tidying up on that list so that it prints out nicely as 'landscape format' on A4

started adding instruments into it also

[wanzerfaust]

Makes plenty of sense to call it Knight's Minne. What's a knight? Cavalry! What do they wear? Heavy armor! No ahem... invention necessary. As long as a shortcut makes sense I see no problem.

[SyNapSe]

I'd like to say great list, Niland. Thnx much.

Why did they spread out Songs so much, why couldn't one person in each city have all the songs.

[Alucath]

I dunno if anyone cares, but I thought I'd point out my lame finding. I did a quest in Windurst where I recieved a stationary set. About a week after putting the stationary set in my moghouse, my mog writes me a song... I didn't realize until I checked my inven that it's the level 19 BRD song, "Scop's Operretta"(sp?)

Anyway.. that's a way to acquire this silence resisting song! Maybe I'll sell it.. I don't know if I should hold it and wait till I end up leveling my BRD for subbing(level 60+ on my RDM)
