From Revo's ルクセンダルク大紀行 - Linked Horizon [2012.9.19]. I'm a little late getting into Bravely Default, but the characters! The plot twists! The music! And when I stumbled across vocalized versions of the character themes, well, how could I resist?

Ah... the fledgling from that day flies off into the endless sky... |

When? shinjite ta— osanai hibi wa sekai wo utagai mo sezu ni Why? ai shite ta— taisetsu na hito ga watashi wo sodatete kureta kara |
When? I'd believed— in my youth, I never questioned the world. Why? I'd loved— because someone precious had raised me. |

daichi wo kette tobidashita hajimete no oozora wa kodoku ni furueta |
I kicked off from the earth and took flight, and trembled with loneliness my first time in the sky. |

Where? tozashite ta— jibun no kara wo hitori de wa yaburu koto mo dekizu What? sagashite ta— ukeuri ja nakute kizutsuite mo shinjirareru mono wo |
Where? I had been chained up— unable on my own to break out of my shell. What? I had been searching— for something to believe in, not second-hand, even if I got hurt. |
| 故郷を発って 見渡した 風が舞う大空は 自由に震えた |

—what I've found is that the world is teeming with justice, but people clash when they can't agree. |
