Description

The most beautiful form of music that can be played is a song. Songs can give someone the courage to live on...but they can also inspire great terror. Once you learn how to sing, you will realize that songs give you incredible power over others.

Details

• Allows the player to sing using a Microphone while also allowing use of Music Skills.
  • Starting at Rank 5, Microphones are no longer required to use this skill or Music Buff Skills with the use of this skill.
    • Microphone-less Song can be used with any right or left hand items, including Instruments.
      • Using a Music Buff Skill with an Instrument equipped will instead play it unless broken.
    • Microphone-less Song will not display an animation.
    • Dischord, Enthralling Performance, and Fantastic Chorus are exceptions and still require an instrument or microphone.
    • It is not possible to equip a Score Scroll with microphone-less Song.
    • Song does not provide Proficiency nor consume Durability of the equipped weapon.
      • However, singing a Music Buff Skill affects the Proficiency and Durability of an equipped right hand weapon, even if that weapon is not a Microphone.
  • The Music Buff Effect from Song is passive and stacks with other sources, including Playing Instrument.
  • Unlike Playing Instrument, different Microphones do not alter the sound of the Song. Instead, it is affected by the player's gender.
• Singing for Homestead crops decreases the crop timer by a percentage of the total time required.
  • Requires Rank F or higher Song.
  • You can only play for crops in your own Homestead.
  • Songs that are considered too easy to play or are bad results will not decrease the crop timer.
    • If the attempt fails, you may keep singing until it succeeds, but it may only be decreased once.
  • Does not stack with Playing Instrument's crop timer decrease.
• Song will not activate the effects of Magical Music.
• The player will be stationary while performing.
• If there is no Score Scroll equipped, the tune sung will be a default tune.
  • Song uses only the Song line of a Score Scroll. If it is empty, the scroll can not be used to sing.
• The success rate is dependent on the skill's rank and rank of the song or scroll being played.
  • Imbolic (Sunday) increases success rate.
• After the performance, a message will display to indicate the level of success:
  • Use the skill successfully/Get a bad result
    • This song was too difficult for you to sing.
    • That was too difficult for you to sing.
    • This song is still difficult for you to sing
    • You need to work harder to sing this song.
    • That was horrible.
    • Not only was the song you chose horrible, but you also sang it terribly.
    • You should apologize for that performance.
    • That was an easy song and you still butchered it.
    • Did anyone notice how much you messed up?
    • You should feel ashamed of your performance.
    • You sang it well, but you won't improve if you keep singing such easy songs.
  • Excellent Performances
    • You did a fine job.
    • That really boosted your confidence.
    • You gave a great performance.
  • Heavenly Performances
    • Your song was heavenly.
    • That was a perfect song.
• When playing a "heavenly performance", players will perform a unique animation; players with microphones will flail around while singing madly.
• Song and other music skills used with singing will range o1f ~ o4c octaves for male characters and o1c ~ o3a for female characters.
  • Using Fantastic Chorus first will range o1d ~ o3a for males and o1g ~ o4c for females, which will sound deeper.
• Every default song has a preset rank. At Rank 1, there are only six default songs that can possibly give great successes.
• Enabling Repeat Playing Instrument causes the skill to automatically repeat itself once the song ends.
  • If a Score Scroll is being used, and the use count is at 0, the player will stop singing.
• Performance Options filters out music from other players by party members only, or by yourself.
• Rank 5 Song and Playing Instrument is needed to obtain the quest for learning Fantastic Chorus.
• Song does not provide Music Talent EXP.

or,

• Create or rebirth a character and select the Starlet Talent to be the active talent.
  • This method is not free, but is sometimes available for free via events.
  • Selecting the Starlet Talent from character creation requires an Ace, Hero, or Elite Hero Character Card.

Training Method

Tips

• Unlike Playing Instrument, Song's "Use the skill successfully." requirement is universal and is given regardless of the type of success.
• An easy way to train using the skill is to make a blank Score Scroll that sings silently.
  • Unlike playing instrument, your musical knowledge skill does not need to be at a certain rank to gain song proficiency with score scrolls.
  • Doing this method will also take less time than singing default songs, which will save your Stamina.
  • Take note that once the Score Scroll has reached 0 counts, you will not be able to continue singing, until the score is replaced or removed.
• For "Grant a buff to a party member.", one can make a party and then sing to his/her own pet.
  • This requirement can also be fulfilled with an instrument.
