13 year old me walked into gamestop with the little bit of pocket money I had saved up, didn't have any particular game in mind. After watching me look around for probably 30 minutes a guy who worked there named joey came over and asked did I need any help, I told him I wanted a new game but couldn't decide, he asked had I ever played assasins creed, I hadn't, and I had never heard of it at the time. He grabbed the box for assasins creed 2 off the shelf and handed it to me and said "this is the game you want". The game had only come out a few days before. I bought the game, got home and fell in love with it, to this day it's in my top 3 games ever, thanks joey.
Climbing up on the church, the dialogue, and this theme playing as the camera pans out while the title fades in will forever be one of gaming's top most iconic moments.

@@tanishmandhera9301 ezio's trilogy was a masterpiece Edward and connor come close second but they're games are way action packed but ezio's trilogy writing tramples them all
They failed once they killed off ezio. At least they could’ve continued with his uncle or one of his mates but damn. To give us completely different characters, boring at that, the dies game once ezio died. They shouldn’t have made another after this beautiful trilogy of s game
@@MichaelBurbano desmond dying ruined it completely. Ezio had to come to an end eventually, but Desmond? He was supposed to be their heir, the one to destroy the templars using the combined knowledge and skills of his ancestors. But nope
Came back here after all these years because fuckin Reverse 1999 collabed with AC2 😭😭😭😭 what a time to be alive, the way assassins creed lore can actually fit into r1999 lore makes this way better.
I heard this theme 10 years ago. My father introduced me to AC series back then as a kid . Now he's gone because of this pandemic and I'm 17. This theme will always remind me of him. Miss u dad Thank you for your condolences everyone , it makes me feel a lot better
Everytime I hear this, it makes me think way back when Ezio was born and then lived a happy childhood and later got everything taken from him. This made him seek revenge by being an assassin. However, as he grew and matured, he learned that revenge wasn't everything and fought for the greater cause. He sought knowledge and lived a nice peaceful life in the end with his family. Ezio Auditore da Firenze, you're not a real person but you have inspired many of us to learn and fight for ourselves. Requeiscat de pace, fratello mio
"It is a good life we live brother" "The Best" "May it never change" "And may it never change us..." Ubisoft presents: Assassin's creed II Damn it i can't listen to this song without getting chills
My older brother passed away April of 2021 and when he used to play assassins creed 1 through Revelations I always used to be the younger brother in the background watching him play, always used to look up to him and this was the soundtrack I used to always hear when he played… this game will forever be in my heart and glad it got to be there when he was around
“When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it. And I had love, but I did not feel it. Many decades would pass before I understood the meaning of all three. And now, the twilight of my life, this understanding has passed into contentment."
"It's a good life we lead brother." "The best. May it never change." "And may it never change us." Ubisoft presents.... Assassin's Creed II Best intro roll ever!
We're getting close to the end of 2019 and this song is still a masterpiece. Edit: it's been a decade and this song is still a masterpiece Edit: So anyone listening to this during quarantine?
Same. I remember a time when my brother introduced me to the franchise but I wasn't feelin it at first. One night, he was playin AC 2 and "Ezio's Family" came on. I'll never forget that moment. It was magic.
I think the reason why this game is so good to all of us that it helped us understand the Assassin's. We took control of Ezio, an easy-going, teenager who didn't really have a care for anything but himself and his family. He liked to have fun and was a trouble maker but still had fun in life, much like how many of us were like him when we first played this game (I was 11). He was then suddenly thrown into the role of becoming an Assassin when he saw his family get murdered. We all grew up with him throughout this game, learning what the Assassins were and what they believed in and why they do the things they do. Ezio soon understands his purpose is no longer to be a rich, easy-going person but to become something better, something people will be thankful for while never taking the spotlight, and with that, we stood by him at every moment till his death. We all understand that just like Ezio, we would all eventually grow up and find a purpose for ourselves in life, and I think that's why this game is so special to all of us. "It is a good life we live. May it never change. And may it never change us."
I grew up with assassin's creed it was my escape from reality when I listen to old ac tracks it's like I'm 11 years old again it gives me a feeling that I can't describe
@@perdidoenlanube3116ohh cmon, Nintendo besides Metroid didn't do a story in a game that isnt for kids, even Zelda tends to be a youth oriented story, same with the art design in all their games. Their games are good, dont get me wrong, but all their stories are so superficial.
listening to this in 2024 - overlooking from the Basilica di San Miniato towards the Florentine skyline. Oh Jesper Kyd, how magnificently you managed to capture the spirit of this eternal city..
There wont be any AC game like this one ever .. Masterpiece .. All of it .. The game .. the story .. the music .. this magical theme .. The legendary master assassin Ezio Auditore Da Firenze ... This music is enough to make a grown man to shed tears by its greatness .. Forever in my heart ✊🏻
I do agree, but Im my opinion, there's a very close competition between ac2 and ac3. Before I played ac3, I thought nothing could ever reach the toe of ac2, but at the and of ac3 I started doubting which is better. Both has great music and character, but Benjamin church says, it's a matter of perspective ( about the stories) personal opinion btw
"Ezio, remember. Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling; it's all the same. These templars, as honorable their intentions are, still desire the greatest perversion of all: absolute control. Sure, the prospect may seem fascinating. A world governed by peace and order where humanity itself is united under one banner? Marvelous. But at what cost? Our minds? Our dignities? Our freedom? No, my son. Freedom is the greatest blessing upon us all, one that is worth protecting and dying for. That is why we exist. That is why our Brotherhood must thrive. That is why we work in the dark in order to serve the light; to give humanity the chance to forge its own tomorrow and to protect it from the monsters that threaten its existence." -- Giovanni Auditore, of Monsters and Assassins, Chapter IV, Page 96
Yes. It’s almost as if they went back in time and made a game based on a real person. Completely emotional and captures the beauty and history of of Europe
@@LouixIskanderbeen playing the AC franchise since the 2nd one in ‘09 when I was about 8 and hold the ezio trilogy very close to my heart. with that being said im glad ppl are still here showing love to this masterpiece 🙌🏽🔥
It reminds me when I grinded my assassins recruits on brotherhood to make them assassin level and they would take the leap of faith when ezio says this
When I was a young man I had liberty but I did not see it, I had time but I did not know it, I had love but I did not feel it. -Ezio Auditore da Firenze
Back when game developer cares to deliver a great story instead of making money. Proud of all fellow gamers who have lived the experience of playing AC series at its peak
@@Stingerwiththedinger Assassins creed is just combat rpg now, no more stealth. They just ripped everything off what used to be Assassins Creed. In Valhalla you can't even one shot with the hidden blade, bullshit
couldn't agree less, the golden age of gaming for me was 1996 - 2004, all the great games were released in those days: Quake (I, II, III), Doom 3, Half-Life, Half-Life 2 but i absolutely love ACII nonetheless, and this soundtrack is epic, especially since I worked on a game that featured Jesper Kyd's music (Chronicles Of Spellborn)
Half-life was stupid. 😐 What is the point of shooting throughout the game. Hitman 2 Silent Assassin was awesome. Kill enemy without firing single bullet like professional assasin. 😏
Same here I’m so happy I was able to play these games during their highlight years everytime I hear this song it just brings back soooo many nights of running the Venice rooftops
It started with Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. Master Assassin and Refounder of the Brotherhood. In AC 1 we witnessed his fall, his struggle to get back on top and how he discovered the truth in the end. We continued with Ezio Auditore da Firenze. He had liberty, he had time and he had love. In AC 2 we witnessed the time before he became an Assassin, the reason why he chose to fight and why he joined the Brotherhood. In AC Brotherhood we witnessed him in his prime. Strong, confident, experienced and without doubt. We witnessed his rise to il Mentore of the Brotherhood and the unbroken will of the family Auditore, even after the death of nearly all their members. In AC Revelation we witnessed him in his twilight of his life. Still strong but time has taken a toll on him. He traveled to a foreign land where he searched for the truth in the past of Altaïr only to discover that the truth was meant for the future. In AC Embers we witnessed his dying days with the ones he loved most. No longer the young, strong and confident man he once was but an old and wise one now. He shared his knowledge and experience of his life with a foreigner to give her a purpose to continue the fight. Filled with regrets but no grief he died on November 30, 1524 at the age of 65 in Florence. Requiescat in pace, fratello mio.
My father fell in love with this song when i explained ezio's story to him he would watch me play the trilogy he passed away from covid 2 weeks ago i never told him why i listened to this song so much it helped get out of my depression now listening to this brings me pain knowing hes gone from my life
Dear future gamers, you will play so many good games in your timeline but remember, this song happened in the platinum era of video games and don't let this song die
Assassins creed might’ve been better if they didn’t drop the ball on unity. I really liked AC 2 and AC unity. Ac 2’s story and Unitys stealth and parkour combined? Prolly a dream for a fan like me.
Ezio and Edward were my favorites, both drastically changed over time pretty much losing everything. But definitely Ezio over Edward just because you got to see Ezios whole life and Edward was unfortunately only a single game protagonist but it was probably for the better, Ubisoft would of drove the character into the ground trying to recreate the Ezio trilogy in the way the player connects to the main character.
Of all the games I've played, Ezio Trilogy will always stay in my heart. It's been 7 years the first time I played this game, but I keep returning to rejoice my heart. The best game you ever made Ubisoft.❤❤
Altair ibn La-Ahad - The One in Flight Who's Son to No One Ezio Auditore da Firenze - The Listening Eagle of the Flowering City Ratonhnhaketon - The Emergent Spirit? (actual Native Americans understand this name so; Ubisoft on the other hand say it means 'The Scratched Life'. I don't know who to believe) Edward James Kenway - The Battle Keen Guardian of Wealth Protected by God? Arno Victor Dorian - The Victorious Eagle of the Golden Town? Evie Frye - The Free Nut? Bayek - The Falcon Cassandra - no fucking idea
Happy 15th anniversary Assassins creed 2. To all our brothers still around, remember our creed, "Nothing is true, Everything is permitted" and to those who are no longer with us "Requiescat in pace".
Man, I wanna play ac 2 again. My mother broke the disc as punishment for not being good in school which is fair enough I guess but man do I wanna play it again
@@ripvanwinkle654 The thing is.... there actually is a "Luigi" in Brotherhood.... Ezio kills the real Luigi (a Guardia Captain) in the Pantheon in Rome and takes his place (incognito), to make his way to the celebration that Cesare held to celebrate what would be a 'United Italia' (under Borgia/Templar rule).
He Lost His Mother He Lost His Father He Lost His Best Friend/Brother. He Lost His True Love, Christina. He Sacrificed his Life and Chose to be an Assassin. The Mentor, Ezio Auditore Da Firenze
Столько времени прошло, а я все равно возвращаюсь к этому шедевру.. В 9 лет я прошел 2 ассасина и он спустя 8 леттак и не вышел из моей головы, он теперь там навсегда, как память, что были великие игры, что раньше компании по типу юбисофт могли.
How much i've changed over the years, sometimes forgetting about this song, then coming back to it years later, and so on, but always a strong feeling of awe, of a deep sadness. Have I ever changed from the boy I was? Into the 27 man I am today? I can still feel like the same 14 year old me sometime when hearing this, with all the insecurities and problems I had back then. Never a quiet soul, always running, and nobody chasing. If I would just let go, would I be different from what I am now? Probably, yeah. But i would not have what I have now. Family, friends I can count on, A stronger and happier me. The road not trodden, is the path of life, for me, for everyone, I feel. But we gotta enjoy the normal path too, for without joy, what is the meaning of life. Maybe the paths of life are both roads, the one riddled with sorrow, and the one riddled with joy. (Sorry for the rant, i'll just leave this here, hope i'll find it in a couple years 😂)
"It is a good life we lead, brother." "The best. May it never change." "And may it never change us." *Assassin's Creed II Ezio's Family soundtrack plays* That hit the feels tbh
Well said! I'm happy I lived through the times where games like this were thriving! So many memories. Still love the nostalgia trips every so often, it takes me away from all the bullshit that comes with adulthood! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Actually while I was playing I was reading all biography on characters. Also learned about that age outside of game. When time came and my professor was questioning me for final grade we stumbled into this age . She couldn't believe there's game that made me learn history. It was surprising for her because usually people shit all over games for making kids stupid. This one is exemption.
Dude the man was such a good assassin that for like nine games later his theme is still playing in every song just in the background and you may never notice it but thats because it belongs to Ezio Auditore da Firenze and the people who have had the liberty of seeing him while still having sight well their dead and when that rock part comes in if youre still alive it simply means hes letting you answer to your gods before you get the opportunity to meet them
I see cultured people have returned to this masterpiece
Lmao I don't think people will ever stop coming back. This is like a mozart piece
Yes 😂 I miss this game 😫

I replayed this thing like 2 times this year and every time it gets better
It's a good life we live brother. The best. May it never change.
We're getting close to the end of 2019 and this song is still a masterpiece.
Edit: it's been a decade and this song is still a masterpiece
Edit: So anyone listening to this during quarantine?
I know right
BeYondCool19 Unkn0wn Agreed
And it always will be.
Yes
Why would it not be though
I feel honoured to have played this game.
Same. I remember a time when my brother introduced me to the franchise but I wasn't feelin it at first. One night, he was playin AC 2 and "Ezio's Family" came on. I'll never forget that moment. It was magic.
It is a good life we lead brother
@@Surfacekilla1 The best. May it never change.
@@obbymillion and may it never change us
You are not alone to feel that way brother.
I think the reason why this game is so good to all of us that it helped us understand the Assassin's. We took control of Ezio, an easy-going, teenager who didn't really have a care for anything but himself and his family. He liked to have fun and was a trouble maker but still had fun in life, much like how many of us were like him when we first played this game (I was 11). He was then suddenly thrown into the role of becoming an Assassin when he saw his family get murdered. We all grew up with him throughout this game, learning what the Assassins were and what they believed in and why they do the things they do. Ezio soon understands his purpose is no longer to be a rich, easy-going person but to become something better, something people will be thankful for while never taking the spotlight, and with that, we stood by him at every moment till his death. We all understand that just like Ezio, we would all eventually grow up and find a purpose for ourselves in life, and I think that's why this game is so special to all of us. "It is a good life we live. May it never change. And may it never change us."
THE BEST STORY EVER FOR ME IN THE AC FRANCHISE
I grew up with assassin's creed it was my escape from reality when I listen to old ac tracks it's like I'm 11 years old again it gives me a feeling that I can't describe
And edward was the exact opposite leading to his downfall which makes ac4 and the haytham line in my opinion even better
similar to arno
Ac 2 is about becoming something better
A short revisit only for this 0:33
❤❤
What did we do to deserve a masterpiece of a character like Ezio Auditore? 2009-2011 was a time to be alive for AC fans
Yep i was 9 when i played ac 2 the day it released my father bought it for me
Ac is childhood.
I was a toddler at the time but now I’m 12 and I love ac especially 2 and brother hood

What a good way to leave this world.
There wont be any AC game like this one ever .. Masterpiece .. All of it .. The game .. the story .. the music .. this magical theme .. The legendary master assassin Ezio Auditore Da Firenze ... This music is enough to make a grown man to shed tears by its greatness .. Forever in my heart ✊🏻
I do agree, but Im my opinion, there's a very close competition between ac2 and ac3. Before I played ac3, I thought nothing could ever reach the toe of ac2, but at the and of ac3 I started doubting which is better. Both has great music and character, but Benjamin church says, it's a matter of perspective ( about the stories) personal opinion btw
"It's a good life we lead, brother." "The best. May it never change." "And may it never change us."
I almost cried when I read this. AC2 makes me just soooo nostalgic.

@@reybadagong7637 the story of the best assassin of all time my kid
Enough questions Ezio go to your bed.
"Ezio, remember. Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling; it's all the same. These templars, as honorable their intentions are, still desire the greatest perversion of all: absolute control. Sure, the prospect may seem fascinating. A world governed by peace and order where humanity itself is united under one banner? Marvelous. But at what cost? Our minds? Our dignities? Our freedom? No, my son. Freedom is the greatest blessing upon us all, one that is worth protecting and dying for. That is why we exist. That is why our Brotherhood must thrive. That is why we work in the dark in order to serve the light; to give humanity the chance to forge its own tomorrow and to protect it from the monsters that threaten its existence."
-- Giovanni Auditore,
of Monsters and Assassins, Chapter IV, Page 96

This masterpiece defines a whole generation of gaming. In my opinion, the golden era of video games. Glad I was able to witness it at it's time.
I wish i had your luck...
I belive same. I was doinghigh school and bachelor's those days.
Awesome time 😍😍😍
I love to play it. The soundtrack is so nostalgic.😍😍😍
couldn't agree less, the golden age of gaming for me was 1996 - 2004, all the great games were released in those days: Quake (I, II, III), Doom 3, Half-Life, Half-Life 2
but i absolutely love ACII nonetheless, and this soundtrack is epic, especially since I worked on a game that featured Jesper Kyd's music (Chronicles Of Spellborn)
Half-life was stupid. 😐
What is the point of shooting throughout the game.
Hitman 2 Silent Assassin was awesome.
Kill enemy without firing single bullet like professional assasin. 😏
Same here I’m so happy I was able to play these games during their highlight years everytime I hear this song it just brings back soooo many nights of running the Venice rooftops
It started with Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. Master Assassin and Refounder of the Brotherhood. In AC 1 we witnessed his fall, his struggle to get back on top and how he discovered the truth in the end.
We continued with Ezio Auditore da Firenze. He had liberty, he had time and he had love. In AC 2 we witnessed the time before he became an Assassin, the reason why he chose to fight and why he joined the Brotherhood.
In AC Brotherhood we witnessed him in his prime. Strong, confident, experienced and without doubt. We witnessed his rise to il Mentore of the Brotherhood and the unbroken will of the family Auditore, even after the death of nearly all their members.
In AC Revelation we witnessed him in his twilight of his life. Still strong but time has taken a toll on him. He traveled to a foreign land where he searched for the truth in the past of Altaïr only to discover that the truth was meant for the future.
In AC Embers we witnessed his dying days with the ones he loved most. No longer the young, strong and confident man he once was but an old and wise one now. He shared his knowledge and experience of his life with a foreigner to give her a purpose to continue the fight.
Filled with regrets but no grief he died on November 30, 1524 at the age of 65 in Florence.
Requiescat in pace, fratello mio.

Let’s be honest, Ezio was our idol back when we were kids
Still is
Stone Cold Steve Austin not only an idol , a LEGEND
altair for the win
Ezio and Edward were my favorites, both drastically changed over time pretty much losing everything. But definitely Ezio over Edward just because you got to see Ezios whole life and Edward was unfortunately only a single game protagonist but it was probably for the better, Ubisoft would of drove the character into the ground trying to recreate the Ezio trilogy in the way the player connects to the main character.
he is still our Idol. :)
Of all the games I've played, Ezio Trilogy will always stay in my heart.
It's been 7 years the first time I played this game, but I keep returning to rejoice my heart.
The best game you ever made Ubisoft.❤❤
No matter who your favourite assassin is, you can't deny Ezio's name is the coolest.
Altair's full name is good and creative but hard to say Ezio's one is easier
and when you look at it objectively ezio has the "best" character

How much i've changed over the years, sometimes forgetting about this song, then coming back to it years later, and so on, but always a strong feeling of awe, of a deep sadness.
Have I ever changed from the boy I was? Into the 27 man I am today? I can still feel like the same 14 year old me sometime when hearing this, with all the insecurities and problems I had back then.
Never a quiet soul, always running, and nobody chasing.

The road not trodden, is the path of life, for me, for everyone, I feel.
But we gotta enjoy the normal path too, for without joy, what is the meaning of life.
Maybe the paths of life are both roads, the one riddled with sorrow, and the one riddled with joy.

Dude the man was such a good assassin that for like nine games later his theme is still playing in every song just in the background and you may never notice it but thats because it belongs to Ezio Auditore da Firenze and the people who have had the liberty of seeing him while still having sight well their dead and when that rock part comes in if youre still alive it simply means hes letting you answer to your gods before you get the opportunity to meet them
