Sorry to be that guy but it’s “The Belkan War,” not “Balkan War.” The Belkan War was an event in Ace Combat lore when the country of Belkan attacked its neighbor Osea as well as former Belkan territories. Due to the efforts of the player the Belkan war goes very badly for them, and Belka responds by detonating seven nuclear weapons on its border in an attempt to stop Osean invasion. On the musical side, Zero is up there with some of Keiki Kobayashi’s best works. To put this final boss song into perspective, you and the final boss enter into the fray, your missiles unable to reach him due to advanced jamming. In the chorus the boss gives his speech about a world without borders, and how the V2 nuclear missile will erase all borders. Then he says the fateful words: _”It’s time.”_ The Spanish guitar-and the missile-takes off. Your faithful AWACS sends you a message: the control system for the V2 is in the boss’s cockpit, and to stop the missile you must shoot him down. They also analyzed a weakness in the boss’s jamming system: it will not protect him directly from the front, so frontal attacks are your only option. With the second chorus taking to sing you make your charge, like an Arthurian knight, jousting your enemy with AMRAAM missiles for lances, passing again and again until you emerge victorious. The “Arthurian knight” bit is also not prose, the game is littered with Arthurian mythos references-the battlefield called “The Round Table,” the enemy superweapon “Excalibur,” the final battle taking place over the Avalon hydroelectric dam, the final boss’ fighter designated the ADFX-01 “Morgan” (after Morgan le Fay). The final dogfight can be seen exactly like I described it: two knights of the sky, jousting again and again.

Some cool added details, the music for this game actually plays in the MCs head as a form of magic. So this song is his minds interpretation of how the fight is going

Hey just found your channel! I like your style (and the half life reference haha). Another gacha game with excellent music, but more focused on the electronic side is Blue Archive, if you want some recommendation of specific tracks to start out let me know!

It's not just the crazy lobby and boss battle themes, of course. Most 6 🌟 operators have their own theme EP on the official website, including Ulpianus and his theme Vows Of The Sea performed by Irish TH-cam singer Colm R McGuiness. th-cam.com/video/Bs0iq-gNrlM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=To-MiVDnkSnzFdBO

Astro Bot beat this 💀

innocents lied to, just to SPARE THEM!! 🤘

wooohooo Arknights

Pretty difficult to find the video this time for some reason, great to have you back reacting to more arknights goodness tho xD

Man with godlike knowledge does more harm than good despite good intentions. Meanwhile, Happy Chaos does chaotic stupid shit, blames most of it on Asuka. It's a song of power, reconciliation, and regret. The line "do you recognize me?" is almost certainly directed at Sol who used to be his friend.

Welcome back

I wonder if the current switch pro controller or whatever will still be compatible. Same button arrangement, so I assume it will. Also, with the way the joycons connect to the console in like a port connection thing, rather than sliding, does concern me with how secure the connection will be.

As a short summary Asuka has been in the story since the first game (although his face was always covered up by his hood) and was the series' main antagonist, known only as "That Man" Even though he always had the best intentions, his actions often led to disasterous outcomes This includes the creation of the gears, and with that the start of the 100 year war known as the crusades In strive, we learn a lot more about him as a person, and are also able to play as him for the first time It also turns out that a lot of the disasters attributed to Asuka were caused by Happy Chaos (who has a whole other rabbit hole of lore attached to him) In conclusion, Asuka is a good dude who made some BIG mistakes, got framed for other atrocities, blames himself for all of it and now seeks repentance I guess this wan't short after all, guilty gear just has SO MUCH going on😅

I feel like there's no wrong ways to interpret songs. If you find your own meaning in lyrics, I think that just lends to the personal experience you get from it... other than the rocking sounds!

Welcome back! Glad to see you again. Y'know it never occured to me that Asukas eye thing sort of resembled a biblical angel, that's a good point. On the topic of religion in Guilty Gear yeah it's actually especially common, especially Christianity. It's all over Asuka, many other characters have it too like Leo whose swords are cross shaped or Slayers coat being loaded with crosses lol, Ky is also a devout Christian. Potemkin is also likely Hindu, and Bedman?s theme evokes themes of samsara which is the concept of cycles including the cycle of death and rebirth which is common in many eastern religions. Asuka isn't necessarily religious but religious themes play into his story and the story of much of Guilty Gear. This is definently the densest song in Guilty Gear Strive, which is absolutely fitting for Asuka, and I'm not even completely sure about the meaning of everything yet. His character is one of the main catalysts for the events of the series. He was a disciple of The Original, aka the philosopher who discovered magic (and who went on to become Happy Chaos), Asuka was also the leading scientist on the Gear Project and was good friends with Fredrick (Sol) and Aria (Justice/Jack-O*). Despite his good intentions he betrayed Fredricks trust and later he used Aria as a base to create Justice, who went haywire thanks to outside intervention and waged war on humanity for a century. His relationship to Sol and Aria is core to the story of the series but I just don't know how to sum it all up succinctly lol, it's so complex. But you can imagine that the weight of his sins must be enormous. His alias, That Man, was mentioned all the way back in Missing Link, and made sparing non-playable appearances throughout the X-XX era. In Guilty Gear 2 he was a boss and the end of that game was when his full name "Asuka R Kreutz" was dropped. He was a major character in Xrds story too but still not playable, but the end of that game was when the hood finally came off. Xrd and Strive were where his plot with Sol really started to move and by now his story is mostly resolved, and finally he was made playable, at the very end of the 2nd wave of DLC characters, as pretty much a celebration of GG turning 25, it was a huge deal. He's the most complicated character in the game, and some people have even said in all of fighting games. He casts spells using pages from the Tome of Origin, which in gameplay sort of acts like cards. He has 3 decks he can pull from that have different combinations of spells, he can "bookmark" (draw) them to have them ready for use, and there are all kinds of effects including tons of projectiles as well as placing his staff on the field which can influence the way his projectiles behave. He also has to manage a mana gauge, spending the mana to use the spells and finding spots to refill the gauge manually, some of the spells he can use are also solely used to help manage mana. Mana also gives him a massive defense buff. With mana he has the highest effective health in the game but if he runs out of it he takes double damage, making him by far the lowest effective health character in the game in that state, and he has to wait for his mana to fully charge back up before he goes back to normal. Basically, as a mage he is 2nd only to Chaos but without it he's just a normal guy, in fact he's pretty out of shape too lol. The way he's characterized in gameplay is pretty funny, the mix of omnipotent magic combined with his physical patheticness leads to him reacting to things in funny ways The whole thing with the "That Man" alias is really interesting. Originally it was believed to only apply to him but in reality due to how much history was lost/not recorded during the war, That Man naturally came about as just a person to lay the blame on, but it applied to more than one person, the other one we currently know of being Chaos who wreaked havoc during the war, but it's highly likely there are more individuals whose actions have been put under the name. Either way as silly as it might sound it's such a perfect alias for a character perceived to have caused such immeasurable harm, it's like everyone on Earth has been hurt by them so you don't even need to elaborate on what you mean by "That Man". The Asuka you play as in Strive technically isn't even him. The real Asuka is living isolated on the moon rn but he made a clone of himself off screen named Asuka R# (in German, which Asukas name derives from, you could read the clones name as Asuka R Doppelkreu(t)z, like doppelganger or even double cross) Asuka R# doesn't seem as burdened by the sins of his counterpart, which lets his curious nature shine through. He's apparently on earth collecting data for the real Asuka. You can also choose to play as the real Asuka and he'll have some different dialogue, but the clone is the default. Wishing the best for your mother and other family members. Good on you for doing so much to help, it must be hard but it's the right thing to do especially when family is so important to you.

This is my favorite boss in the game. Granted, my sorc is so overpowered I rarely have to deal with any boss mechanics in the later game. I want to go through the game on ssf so I can spend more time enjoying the fights. Right now I’m just having a blast being as powerful as possible and zooming.

tetuso sakurai is such a recognisable bassist

Slayer isn't important to the guilty gear lore most of the time because he's retired, the most important thing he did was fighting bedman to a standstill in xrd because he was the one of the very few people who could challenge him. Xrd Bedman has victory line against slayer that basically was telling slayer if he's going to play the spectator role, than he shouldn't interfere with human affairs

Both Asuka and Happy chaos are the main villains of the series it was revealed in strive that both of them have the title that man, but the that man that appears in the games before strive was usually Asuka

This is one of my favorite theme in this game, if i had to give my top 5 themes they would be 1. The Circle 2. The Gravity 3. Drift 4. Hellfire 5. Symphony

YEEEEEEEES

Welcome back.

We are so back!

That bit was Beethoven. The clinical precision of these guys is unmatched fight me.

i would guess I'm a bit late to the channel in discovering but i love your reactions and videos from what I've seen. could you react to: Nightmare - knower its a good piece of music that i don't think has enough recognition

you missed the best part bro…. Drum and bass solo

Midnight rendezvous and dazzling are their absolute best tunes...

sounding like you would ask me where's my motivation

that theory about "two entities competing for the mind of Lady Maria" is so great. The fact that you thought of that (which is lore accurate in a way) by simply hearing the strings fighting each other is remarkable.

Came here for Metaphor, left with a strong desire to play Xenoblade. If it has great music, its already a great game for me.

Its the oldest opeth, first track off first album, there is 8 tracks too😂

Tetsuo Sakurai is my spiritual Bassist

Luke, I wish copyright laws were like this. If you only said in your TH-cam Videos, like, let's say you put an Olivia Newton John song on TH-cam, with her singing, and the tytle of your Video said, Physical, by Luke Tadem, they'd have a reason to copyright clame you, or copyright strike you, but if your video had a tytle like this, Olivia Newton John Physical by Luke Tadem, then TH-cam would know that you put her name in the tytle, which should indicate that you're not trying to put your name in her song. However, if you were to put in your video, a number of songs, how would you go about doing this? How would you let them know you're not putting your name in the songs? Would you have to put the names in the description? I wish TH-cam was more friendly, and would help out in this situation. They should ask you if you want to give the names of the songs so you don't get a copyright clame. Right?

Just a bit of advice. When doing reaction channels, nothing is more annoying than repeated stops and interruptions. Great review though.🤘

The thing you mentioned bout them having ideas but not really transitioning them together is something that I’ve grown to love about opeth. You never know what you’re getting into with an Opeth song

🍊💖

potholes are indeed super annoying lol

Hope you can also react/listen to Funeral of Flowers both the Rain & Thunder vers. Which is also, from Fire Emblem 3 Houses. And unfortunately it typically gets overshadowed by the other final boss themes.

Electric Callboy is a German ECore band ...

Something that struck me when listening to this is how closely it mirror's Sin's theme (The Hourglass), both in lyrics and cadence. Sin, Ram and Elphelt all have a theme of 'running on' through their ost tracks, which I suppose makes sense given that they are more or less raised as siblings.

Good detailed reaction of the great song by Be'lakor. Please do reaction of Much More Was Lost by Be'lakor.

Great song by Be'lakor! Their big fan from India \m/

"Conditions of my Parole" is good too,,,,,,, Carina Roundsl ....uk girl

Lots of references in this From Billy D( alter ego of Maynard ) ......The bar called heaven is a reference from Talking heads song "Heaven",,,,,,Your in for a ride but it aint to iowa

So yeah, this is about the brother who was an addict and he needed to be pumped with gin to get him to the institution, cause otherwise he would never have done it voluntarily. That is why this sounds so violent. Sometimes people do agressive stuff, but it eventually saves lives.

Each Contingency contract is a seasonal even and each has a different theme and song. There are some tracks that relase outside the game called EPs. They are character songs basically. Some vocal tracks are ingame as part of important events or story. Some vocal tracks that are ingame include CC themes (gone after the event), Wolf Master (il siracusano boss), Lullabye (chapter 8 story), Under Tides boss theme and Stultifera Navis boss theme (THE GOLDEN AGE WILL RETURN AGAIN). Ps: You probably won't like all the songs. The variety is insane. Cheers. Edit: About Contingency Contract lobby themes, they are there as a kind of rest spot. CC is a hard event, so after trying and retrying the same stage many times you take a few minutes to relax to some tunes.

this inspires earth wind and fire

Hello, in case you're looking for more recommendations for Guilty Gear music, then you should listen to Let Me Carve Your Way (Zato-1's theme) next. It's really good, trust me

I like those little interjections (or whatever you’d call them) of hers too. I’m pretty sure those were her knowing something was off, but at the time not knowing/confronting what it was. Like “Whatever this is feels bad, like the taste of vegetables. Maybe I’m stressed, or maybe it’s just this stupid alarm clock.”

Draped in death the howl of lore, I take to mean “clothed with death comes the abrupt/shock of history” basically a poetic way of saying now that someone has died, their bones in their closet comes out roaring/rumbling for all to see.
