Love how they threw in that random line at the start about music being magic, only for it to later be revealed the fundamental truth behind the origin of Magla being the emotions of the soul; Music is the first true Magic because it's the conveyance of emotion from your heart to the world.
@@starmaker75 Seen a few, Infinite Undiscovery had the magic system done through the MC playing the flute, Stella Glow had the main magic system done through song with the MC acting as a psuedo-composer (ironically both games have the MC with a music based name, Capell and Alto respectively). There's also the Ocarina in Zelda, but yeah it's nowhere near as prevalent as it could be.
@ No, anxiety is only one of many and the root cause of Magla imbalance, it's not the source. It's just that Anxiety is one of the most prevalent and difficult to deal with emotions that easily swamps and erodes all other emotions causing the imbalance which becomes self-sustaining very easily.
@@DanteSagacitas That line gets me every single time. Just the raw desperation that oozes from it. It's a symbol of a father who desperately doesn't want to lose his son for a second time.
This twist was so fucking insane. Loved how Will basically denied the world from the book (our world) and even says "I’ve been thinking about it, but is this really an ideal world?", eventually he discards the book and writes his own. As inhabitants of the world we also know it isn’t perfect, we really should make our own fantasy and strive for it.
At the beginning, it plays when Will is running away. Near the end, it plays again but Will doesn't run; he confronts it. Our world is not perfect; of course there are things which perhaps can never change even in the next 1000 years, but that does not mean we should yield and do nothing about it. The darker the world is, the brighter the tiny flame of a candle is.
And besides, the tragedies he had to endure in life is nothing compared to the experiences he has gained on his journey. The good and bad times, they would mean nothing without everyone he has met along the way. To abandon the journey meant that everything he did was truly for nought. It’s only over when you give up, like More and Louis did. It’s only after Will proves that he could stay true to his ideals in the face of doubt could he truly defeat Louis and prove himself as a worthy king. Yes, Will has the power of the Archetypes, and have awaken it in others. But all of that would mean nothing if not for EVERYONE in his life (More included). Everyone’s support and care for one another gives the chance to shape the future. All of that matters more than just simply having power.
@@rokkraljkolesa9317 traversing the wastes makes more sense from a literal sense in the beginning. But more importantly, metaphorically speaking, I think it’s perfect when it plays against More because it shows Will’s determination to continue his journey to fight Louis, despite the odds stacking against him.
Who would have thought the first song you hear in the game would be one of the best song in the game and the fact it plays during the final Boss and that the game pulls a “ it ends here it begins” and I love this song as well as wings of freedom
When that plays in end game, I had real chills, this soundtrack is the best in the game I believe. Not enough soundtracks in total but these are all awesome !
This song easily became one of my favorite game tracks of all time. The way you get introduced to this song, as well as the gimmick of the background music, you know you're in for a wild ride. It's resurgence at the end of the game hit me a lot on an emotional level--an adventurous song while also being a song of hope, the will (heh) to live and fight. And as a sidenote, this song also means a lot to me in real life: it will always remind me of when I passed my MLS boards exam that I've spent a year preparing for. My first try with that test, miraculously passed. After that test, I decided to go to a milk tea place called Kung Fu Tea and guess what: that place was having a cross promo with Metaphor ReFantazio celebrating it's upcoming release at the time (got the Gallica taro shake and a Hulkenberg sticker, shit was damn good). Despite the fact that I played the demo for this game after taking that exam, hearing this will always remind me of that day.
(spoilers): I already thought it was wild that the MC effectively figured out More's trick from the mere fact that there was *music* playing, but the fact that it's literally the first song he ever heard from Gallica just makes it perfect. It's like as soon as it started to play, he knew what was going on. And didn't yield from the truth that not just his friends, but the country, are all real and that EVERYONE needs him.
Out if all the things that people like to take from toliken, the music magic is something that not use that munch. I mean if you seen musican really go at it, it really does look they use magic. Music and relgion go hand and hand. Their people thag will describe music they loved as something magical. Also music being directed by emtions
The unfortunate fact of the matter is Astro Bot was made for the general audience. Even though more people play them than ever, jrpgs are comparitively niche. (Dont get it twisted, I agree with you)

Holy shit this game is so good.
ha yeah, i loved it
that line made me go "wait how" and then the reveal of more i was like OH OHHHHHHHHHHHH
When the accent started hitting…!
@@CNWhatImSaiyan The slight voice change after the reveal was so good.
I dont understand the significance of that line. Did he have other readers besides Louis
Music was the first magic. Thus, the journey begins.
Lucifer the first angel that defied God was the angel that first played music! So yeah makes sense!

Well surprising that music magic isn't use that munch in fanasty and magic system. I mean that an art goldmine right there

Magla is specifically caused by anxiety

You can see Gallica dancing to this as soon as she casts the spell and the music start
It’s cute as hell
My name is... Hythlodaeus V. I once reigned as king
Literal chills from that line

@@TheJaredPunch I still think The First Magic works better thematically, cause it's what makes him realize More is lying to him in that scene
there's something so heartwarming about [ SPOILER] wanting to protect you

Boss and that the game pulls a “ it ends here it begins” and I love this song as well as wings of freedom
“Welcome to the true reality!”
“Now, your first task is to find the ginza line.”
Love how the first scene actually be the most important hint in the last part of story
That last part was 10/10 revelation!
You know what they say: Anxiety breeds the world's cruelest monsters.
@@Sir_ShadowZ__ at least that's what fairies say...
"You cannot sacrifice your one life for an empty dream"
Will: I have to try, at least!
Dam good advice tbh.
biggest surprise i got during the endgame, to use THE FIRST PIECE OF MUSIC you hear during gameplay as a BOSS THEME against [Spoiler] holy shit.
This is the song that started it all for me. The song that got me hooked. Once THAT moment begins, it’s just too freaking good man.

Its also my fav track. The voice acting when it played in the endgame gave me chills. Such a good va
Yeah I completely forgot this epic song was the very first overworld theme Galica gives you. And for it to come back in such a big way was so great
came in at the perfect time!
WOW, JUST WOW!! I‘m always impressed by how versatile Shoji Meguro is as a composer, such a genius.

They really popped this banger in your head and said "its diagetic btw"
I came back here to announce the start of the Metaphor Refantazio Manga.
My favorite soundtrack in this game.. ❤ it
Nier Automata 🤝 Metaphor ReFantazio
Having completely incomprehensible yet incredibly emotional and heart wrenching music
DrakeNieR as a whole🤝Metaphor Refantazio
But unlike Nier which is a fictional language Metaphor uses Esperanto which is a real language.
Best opening area OST to an RPG in YEARS!!
You were my first reader!!!...
best song in game
The Nier Automara soundtrack called...
They said you're doing a great job.
Only if that battle where just a bit longer...
yeah you end up finishing it in like 1-3 turns when honestly it would have been so much better lasting like 10, a real back and forth
Funny thing is that you can make the last boss have 8 turns
Nice argument. Unfortunately:
Hero's Cry
Hero's Proving
Royal Sla- wait, they only gave you how many HP as a boss?

I wonder what the lyrics mean. Been listening to this on repeat, have no idea 😂
And then they give goty to astro bot..... What a joke
