==Game appearances==
===Final Fantasy XIII===
"Nascent Requiem" plays in the final battle against Orphan.
Unlike "Born Anew" or "Fighting Fate", "Nascent Requiem" has no lyrics, and is more fast-paced, perhaps because of the battle's forced speed due to Orphan's Doom spell. It contains the altered form of the summary motif (starting at 2:21) of "Vanille's Theme", particularly at 0:50 to 1:13 and 3:41 till the end of the loop.
