Front Mission 3 OST is amazing
One More Day will always hold a special place in my heart. It was the first track I heard in the Caves And Cliffs update, and when I did hear this in my tiny little shack in those first few days, I started to cry. That song feels like a comforting hug from someone you miss so dearly.
The pacing on this stream was really great, and you provided some wonderful insight when that person brought up "being seen as weird for liking video game music" That's the kind of stuff that has kept me around as a channel supporter for so long.
It felt good, a new high water mark. This is the new standard to beat! Thank you for your support!
this sound track is an integral part of my late teens and will always hold a special place in my heart.
We need rebirth
Correct me if I’m wrong: Renaissance-Baroque musicians loved to put many different lines in their music and Toby Fox did just that (which is not that common in music nowadays): So can he be considered as a modern Renaissance-Baroque musician?
*Spoiler* About Mourning. That was the song played in a side quest about an android designed to execute her peers when they turn traitor. I legit got creeped out when the song hit after the npc revealed her identity, while you clearly see how broken her mind and heart is. It was also the song played I believe after A2 ended 9S' life and you are walking in a maze-like world. Quite fitting, especially near the end when you are running a seemingly endless stair.
You really should try Undertale the musical
This was a kickass stream Dan. You really did cook up some great riffs on some of these songs.
1:02:10 👏👏👏👏👏
1:14:18 the pure concentration, the anticipation. you see it in his head movements.... he's trying to count the elevator.
I can't understand why, but.. Undertale OST is one of the only soundtracks or musics that can really hit an emotional spot inside me, that make me really let some tears roll out. Maybe it's my story with that amazing game, or all the changes it had in my life? I don't know. Thank you for this masterpiece, Toby Fox.
Repentant strongly reminds me of stuff from Boards of Canada, definitely top 3 on the whole album.
Also why is the song called "home" and "sans." Are such a vibe to just rest (I guess?).
When I wrote this comment I was at 11 minutes, but did he smile throughtout the whole vid? And did bro vibe throughtout all the vid?
Anyone else think he's posessed?
God of War Ragnarok ost!!!
God what a throwback. I'm so glad to see this ost being covered
Every time I come back to watch any of your videos, old or new; and I see the timestamps there I smile a little. Knowing full well it means you've temporarily won the eternal battle with KZread over how dangerous your teachings of music are.
Are timestamps back?!?!?
Omgosh. Thank you so much for letting me know! Who knew music theory might be so dangerous.
59:30 MEGA BOMB
I really hope to see the Nocturne soundtrack analyzed at some point, lmjust because SMT reuses some lietmotifs throughout the series.
Are you more Formidable Enemy from Trails from Zero or from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 ?
I really love that you are reacting again, this vid has so much more life compared to the last few
I think we found the groove! Thank you for your feedback!
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, lets gooooo!

What? The Thorian is not a bug! It's a plant-based lifeform that releases spores to take control of organics. This is a survival response, not a malevolent one. Though, it is a boss fight, so take that as you will. The Criminal Element (which I assume is in reference to the crime in the Wards) isn't directly related to Noveria. If you try to make the connection, it's kind of a lot of dots to connect considering which "criminal element" are you talking about? Fist's men? Saren's assassins? The Shadow Broker's men? The weapon's dealer? Renegade Chorban? lol. Yeah, I think the 1, b3, 2 is a leitmotif for Saren. In the track "Saren" it has the same thing but different style. Saren (a person (alien)) has a base on Virmire (a planet) (hence Saren's Base) You finally battle Saren for the first time there. "These are long compared to the first one" yeah, well, that's what happens when you have very well done missions that aren't lifeless and empty. As someone mentioned, most of these are missions to either recruit a particular person or do their loyalty mission. Very curated (positive in my book). So much so that I can picture where we are in the mission relative to the music being played at any moment. As far as Thane goes, as Jacob puts it "...a mercenary. An assassin is just a precise mercenary."
