Let me take this opportunity to thank Focus Ent. and Asobo Studio for their immense support and the gift they made to me, the musicians and to the players. It was a real emotional experience to see all the musicians perform altogether in this beautiful venue. I wish you all a great musical journey! Merci a tous!
For many people, this game isn't just a game, its a moment in their lives that they will carry with them for a long time and this soundtrack helped make it possible.
you're not exaggerating. since I finished this game, I have been sublimating its emotional impact on me into positive change in my life. I have not played anything since finishing Requiem (about three weeks ago) and that's a lot to say for someone who plays video games nonstop as an escape from various unhappy things in their life.
Yeah bro, I set an event in my calendar for 2028, 5 years from now to see from very first Series of A Plague Tale and I really hope to see another game by then.
No matter, this isn't just a game and I think it's above any simple awards events as no other game have ever touched me the way this one has. That's just my opinion though 🍺
Best scenario, best graphics, best narrative, best soundtrack and VO. BUT, technicly in term of gameplay I was hoping for AI progress and less rigidity in Amicia's movement. But for a AA studio WHAT THE HELL, what an amazing work!
I agree, but I think GoW is just so much more well known by the general public, that Plague Tale will get snubbed. Amicia's VA also deserves an award for her performance, but Christopher Judge is absolutely amazing as well as Kratos. Plague Tale is my GOTY, it's just a shame it launched in a year with so many other amazing games (well, for me it's pretty good, considering I got to play all of them)
@@Placeholdername3 I agree in parts I think good games are different from spectacular games, A Plague Tale Requiem is an above average game, it's art. GoWR has the same appeal as Marvel's Blockbusters, so all this hype, honestly GOTY is about popularity and not quality. Plague Tale Requiem is above that. At least for me.
7:41 the cello player was playing it so hard a stray hair from the bow was loose, damn. this guy looked so intense and into it it kinda gave me chills watching his part, and the whole in general just gave me chills. this game really should've gotten best game soundtrack award wow
He has to apply a lot of pressure to the bow, to play the squeaking cello. Usually that would be an unwanted effect, but in this case the composer expresses the stress of the ingame character with it. Which is absolutely genious! Professionals barely split their bow strings. :) You can see him relax at 8:35. I is actually at eight thirtyseven. Before that you see how bent his bow strings are bent. Usually a cello player would not do that. Just like Ken Block wrecks his tires and some vegetables across the road for a show, he wrecks the strings for the effect. Back in the days, high society funded Mozart and Beethoven and all the likes. At a time, where people mostly lived not to die from starvation, those travelled around the world in carriages and entertained the Mukesh Ambanis of the past. These days thankfully we have movies and games, which are able to finance the todays Mozarts like Hans Zimmer and Joe Hisaishi. HUGE orchestras. Highly developed professionals, training for months and then travelling around the world to play those songs. People, who would NEVER visit an opera go watch some dumb Marvel or Transformers movie, while financing an absolute treasure of music I cannot imagine what it must feel like, to be part the creation of such magnificent art and looking at it, knowing, that you are infusing so many people across the globe. Of 3 mio people playing a game, there surely will be at least 300k, feeling, what you were trying to transmit. Music is the language of emotions after all. Love to the people. Love to Olivier Derriviere ❤
This performance is chilling. I finished Requiem 3 weeks ago and still thinking about it... The characters, the score, the story will forever be in my heart.
For me it's amazing how this game has brought so many people together. Look at God of war, it's an amazing game but I think plague tale brought a more emotional and impactful experience from start to finish. Half way through the story I was certain it would end well but the last three chapters crushed me so hard that even now to this day I still can't get over it😭. Amazing work all round in this game, especially from the voice actors. I can't play or watch someone else play this game without tearing up and I'm an adult man with a full time job 😂
I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the small nuances in the strings during the main theme. Those high pitched "squeaks" are like the rats in-game. Everything is so beautiful but those squeaks come sporadically; you never know when they're coming, like the rats. It's so genius and I love it.
You said this perfectly! I always loved those moments of the high pitched squeaks - you immediately felt the presence of the rats/macula and the score did it justice.
Its a Masterpiece. Im 31 Years old and im still crying when i just finished the game a few minutes ago. Its heartbreaking and this soundtrack can compete with every AAA moviesoundtrack. Thanks for this gold of gaming history....
Currently crying at the climax of No Turning Back. Amicia had to grow up so fast. The game was scary, empowering, and beautiful - the music fits and accentuates these feelings perfectly and the game wouldn't be the same without it. Thank you for such a moving score.
I'm not sure if you heard, but the composer did a walkthrough of the game so he can talk about the music. What I found most interesting was that The Wrath from the last game has been replayed in different styles for this game ranging from happiness, anxiety, anger, etc. which is how we get No Turning Back. Sort of suggesting that Amicia had PTSD from the last game and has been changed ever since. Poor girl really did have to grow up fast and it just seems so unfair
@@batalorian7997 So, I'm just going to jump in here as a clinician. Amicia displays almost all of the DSM-V altered mood and altered reaction symptoms of PSTD, and fulfills all of the additional criteria. She has intrusion symptoms, and what may be interpreted as 'compulsive aggressive' behaviors in response to stressors.
I am impressed by how the music manages to transmit in the player a deep feeling of "suffering" "fear" "sadness" typical of those fateful times of the plague. A phenomenal job!
When I see what they have done with « The last of Us », I rather prefer to keep this gem as it is today! Something in video games and specially this one can never be equaled by a movie adaptation!
One of the most heartbreaking games in my life. It easily can "fight" with such titans like GoW, The Witcher and TLoU. Thank you, musicians and developers for such a masterpiece
The music will forever be ingrained in my memory for being one of the most haunting, yet beautiful part of the game. Along with the voice acting, the score really immerses you into the setting and tone of each scene in the game. There are moments where you could recognize the music that goes with the specific scene of the game, like the calm gentleness of Amicia and Hugo playing or having a moment, to Amicia being forced to kill soldiers, to Hugo dream sequence, to Arnaud’s combat with the bagpipes, and his last stand against the Count.
I just finished the game 2 days ago, and I don't remember when I had to cry this much the last time... Like not just once but multiple times, just tearing up again. Just hearing the soundtrack strikes you right in the heart. Right after finishing the game I could still hear Hugo in my head. How optimistic he first was, and how much Amicia tried to cheer him up and give him and herself hope, when they lost it. His sweet little innocent voice and the bond they had together. Never loosing hope. Fighting, all the ups and downs they went through.... The innocence of Hugo especially makes it more difficult to bear. He's so young, innocent, curious, passionate and lovingly that you just think to yourself "He deservers to make it, this has to end well, happily ever after..!" but the end was good - it had to be like that. It makes the game even better rather than having an ending where you just wear your pink sunglasses. It makes the experience real and bases it on reality. It's kind of like a journey with someone who has cancer, and you are accompanying them, first full of hope for a solution, for a way, then acceptance sets in and you just want to enjoy the last moments. And in the end you have to say goodbye. You know it's not right, it shouldn't be. Why him etc. but what can you do. Just Hugo saying _"... I love you. I've been happy with you. - Goodbye, Amicia."_ is so emotional with the music in the background and Amicia breaking - such a mature acceptance of reality from a 5 year old, who during his whole journey noticed, said and realised many times "It's all because of me", and now he knows there's only one way (no way out, no "lets try this or that" or "lets go to the mountains together") and he says his last goodbyes - ah it hurst just writing this lol. The music, the Voice actors and the visuals, everything together is just amazing, incredible! Thanks for that rollercoaster and that unforgettable experience through these two games, Asobo! You've touched so many hearts with your art.
I am kind of happy that I'm not the only one experiencing this. I don't know how long it will take to recover from this experience. I feel so extremely empty inside. I didn't cry in years before that.
Man, accepting this ending was just to hard for me at first, I was even angry by how it ended but after watching so many other people playing it on TH-cam I've finally come to appreciate this game and it's meaning. I've even watched the music composer Olivier Deriviere and voice actors for Amicia and Sophia play it and it was exactly what I needed in order to finally come to terms with the amazing experience these two games have to offer. Yes it's a hard pill to swallow but swallow it we must
Best OST I have heard in a very, very long time. Should have won the Game Awards 2022, but I am sure it will win awards in the near future. Incredible.
This game, and especially this music is absolute perfection. The moment you get into the loading screen for the first time and the main theme actually starts, it gives you instant shivers. You know you are in for a great story.
I never understand how music alone always makes me cry and even before ending the game I remember seeing the loading screen and just leaving it on the main menu and letting the main theme play through and full on tears idk why
Когда в первый раз заиграла "Up There", я испугался. Испугался, что мои опасения касаемо финала начинают сбываться. Видя как Амиция, испуганная на коленях, с такой чистой любовью обнимает Гюго, я не выдержал и заплакал. Её сила, её надежда вели нас вперёд. Казалось, на свете нет ничего, что могло бы сломить Амицию - вот так сильна была её любовь к брату. Но когда Амиция всё - таки сдалась, вместе с ней сдались и мы. После прохождения, я ещё долго не мог прийти в себя. A Plague Tale единственная игра, которая заставила меня так сильно плакать. Воистину Амиция самая сильная девушка, которую я встречал, хоть и игровой персонаж
Игра прекрасна, и музыка в ней. Чудеса творят разработчики. Создать такую историю которая оставила очень много эмоций, не смотря на конец. Я ожидала что он такой будет:)
You can even close your eyes and remember all the beautiful places in the game 😢🐁 Thank you Asobo Studios, Thank you Focus Entertainment, Thank you Olivier, Thank you Charlotte and Thank you to all the team behind this amazing game, you'll be always in my heart 🐁🖤. Much love from México 🇲🇽
Éste juego ha sido una obra maestra, me gustaría verlo ganar algún premio en los Game Awards de éste año, lamentablemente tiene mucha competencia, aún así espero que ésta entrega tenga el suficiente apoyo para que salga un tercer juego, un saludo yo también soy de México 🇲🇽 y larga vida los de Rune!
@@Ace-ql6kq Concuerdo, es impresionante las emociones que te transmite la historia del juego y complementado con la banda sonora pffff, cada vez que escucho There Up termino llorando haha. Ojala se corone en alguna categoría en los GameAwards, pero considero que lo tiene bastante complicado... (Soy el mismo del comentario principal, pero desde otra cuenta, en esta he subido un tributo final de la historia, quizá te guste, o a cualquiera que lea este comentario :'p )
Up There was an absolute gut punch (stunning visuals aside), and felt like a farewell letter to the fans who destroyed their eardrums listening to "Beyond the Horizon" on a loop before the game was even released (yes, that's me). Thank you for this.
That second track, used when Amicia is running and tackling enemies, surrounded by a burning landscape, was so exhilarating during the game. Seeing it here, played live is breathtaking.
From the moment they arrive on the island, the journey becomes absolutely overwhelming. The ending is perfect, consistent with the story being told. And that short epilogue... Well, it just breaks your heart.
I am so glad they made this soundtrack for this game.Everytime i hear this,i start crying but not because i m sad,beacuse i can feel the game insinde me when i hear it.This game left me with emotional damage ,it broke my heart ,i have never played a game with such passion,joy,it felt like i was living it.If you don t like this game and wonder if you should play it,than my answer is yes,you should,this isn t just a game,is a work of art.There will never,i repeat * NEVER* in 50 years from now on will exist,a work of art like this.
just finished the game a week ago. i dont cry playing video games, the closes thing was the last of us part 1 and rdr2, i got teary eyed...but when i got to chapter 16 of this game, my tears were flowing and i didn't even notice it😅...wat a masterpiece of a game..i need ff7 rebirth to come out soon because i can't focus on other games because of plague tale requiem,still stuck in my mind, that ending😭
It's crazy that after two years, if I need a good cry I can just listen to the Plague Tale Requiem soundtrack and ball my eyes out for a minute or two. Thanks for that I guess Asobo.
38:00 coming back after months and listening to this again.. this can give me instant tears. This music is just ... so emotional, especially with that little drop in there where suddenly you get that instant flow of pure energy, emotion and power. Wow - I love coming back to this. Thank you for everyone that was involved in this game and soundtracks etc...
still can remember the conversation they had in that dreamy world between amicia and hugo and how hugo knew there was no other way so he tried to explain that to his sister while she was holding on here last hopes and finally she came to the acceptance (i also can remember how i was drawn in tears😭😢)
They made us all shed a tear when hearing this song during that moment in the game.. it was the most emotionally charged stage of the game... It shows the true love and bond between the two of them. One thing I've learned from this game is that family is so important and often taken for granted and we should do everything we can to protect it.
Only one word to describe this: goosebumps. You can see how much devotion and passion has been put into developing this game. Just finished it a couple of days ago and it's a masterpiece. The story, the sound, the music, the graphics. Very disappointed it didn't win any awards, though it deserved not just one, but many more. Good job to the entire team (musicians included)!
These games and soundtracks should be up for awards for the next 10 years lol. I tell everyone I know that games to dive in and get ready for one hell of an emotional ride..
Would love to see a third entry in the series, preferably still historic, maybe even going back to the Justinian Plague and see Aelia's story played out or make a trilogy out of Amicia's tale
Wow...words escape me. I can honestly say that only the game itself couldve made me shed this many tears. I know I'm a day or so late, but hearing these tracks performed "Live" was simply breathtaking. I cought myself a few times sitting with my eyes closed, literally forgetting to breath, as I was washed away with melodies. Each and every song was performed with such grace, such inspiration, and last but not least, PASSION. Every song felt purposeful. Necessary. And thanks to the Live performance I was able to visually pick apart and fully appreciate each individual instrument and character. To each and every person who had a roll to play, be it big or small, THANK YOU!! This game is special, and a Massive part of that comes from the passion and drive that the music puts forth. 😁👍
39:47 - When the symphony almost ends, the Game Title shows up. DAMN that hits me really hard, I got shiver from all my back. It's like the final goodbye to Hugo :( Thank you, Thanks for making this game and these wonderful songs. I can't wait to finally cover "Up There" and "Brother" on my Piano. I love these two tracks really much. Sad that "Brother" is not played in this Symphony. Well, it has the same Theme as the Main Theme after all. But I love the guitar pattern, it sounds Medieval to me haha.
WOW, they are so so talented, it's so nice to be able to put a face on all the people who made me cry like never before... and i cried again hearing it live, Congrats and THANK YOU ALL !
After finishing the game I just sat there at the menu listening to this masterpiece. I do not cry easily but this game hit me like nothing I`ve played or watched before. It´s been 3 weeks and I still shed tears after listening to this cuz it brings back all the memories you had with the characters, story and the game itself as a player. For me this game will always have a special place in my heart and I hope you guys get the popularity and success you deserve. Thank you Focus Entertainment and Asobo Studio ♥
I don't know about game awards or steam awards, but this game is MY GOTY. Best OST, amazing story, deep characters and mind-blowing visual . Incredible game!
This isn't just a game, for me it was a emotional journey. I cloud literally feel characters emotions, I cant hide I was crying in the end of this game. Whole game and this masterpiece music with all those ppl aiming to compose this soundtrack with stunning and emotional results. Great work, big up for symphony and Asobo studio.
Bravo to Olivier Derivière for the beautiful music he created for the game! And congrats for being nominated for The Game Awards! This performance is absolutely stunning. The cello players are very passionate, playing harshly, almost as if they are fighting.
Я очень люблю обе игры A Plague Tale и влюбилась в музыку с первых нот. Никогда не слышала ничего более захватывающего и атмосферного. Мне как историку, интересующегося историей средневековой Европы, искренне приятно, что музыка передает ту атмосферу, которая царила в страшные годы чумы, и в то же время переплетается с сюжетом игры. Сама игра заставляет меня плакать снова и снова - каждый раз, когда я ее заканчиваю. Порекомендую посмотреть и послушать эти шедевры всем своим друзьям и знакомым. Я уверена, что такая музыка никого не оставит равнодушным. Нижайший поклон всем, кто участвовал в исполнении и создании этого шедевра!
Согласна с вами! Очень ждала вторую часть, она вышла супер-атмосферная. Эта игра вместе с музыкой просто разбили мне сердце. Пробирает мурашками от каждой темы. Ну а концовка... До сих пор как увижу, плачу.
Sounds like you have quite a few more narrative masterpieces to play - Witcher 3, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Metal Gear Solid 2, for a start :) I loved Requiem too, even more than Innocence.
@@8Paul7 I'm also new to narrative games and I started it with the plague tale series and it was just amazing. I'm planning to play RDR2 next, I hope it also delivers a beautiful narrative just like A plague tale.
Шедевральный саундтрек. Снова рыдаю. История plague tale оставила глубокий след в моем сердце. Хотелось бы отменить потрясающую игру актеров озвучки. Особенно Шарлотты МакБерни, смогла передать всю боль и отчаяние.
Yes! I was thinking how No Turning Back perfectly conveys the fear and urgency of the situation as well as the empowerment 'we're doing it!' - fleeing and defending themselves.
Olivier created an amazing sound for the game, it's like a mix of Ramin Djawadi's Game of Thrones with Gustavo Santaolalla's The Last of Us and a bit of Hans Zimmer's Pirates of the Caribbean
Beautiful concert, fantastic soundtrack. A highlight of the year, to see Asobo growing into GOTY territory with Requiem. Top design, top narrative, top music, top acting, etc. You all deserve all the accolades you're receiving. Can't wait to see your next projects.
I think plague tale 2 was enough to say this is favorite game franchise. No questions asked. When I was younger it use to be halo then it changed to assassin's Creed but now it goes to plague tale. I would understand if it doesn't win game of the year but it deserves it very badly. You can tell how much hard work they put into it and how much love just from the music alone. The ending killed me but I think it's my favorite ending in any videogame
Lately games are touching emotions more than series and movies, it's fantastic how game studios work making such an engaging game, soundtrack, plot, realism among other things... When you play A Plague Tale it seems that you come back in time and venture as if they were part of history living each experience, even when facing a monitor.
7:23 - Before watching this, I thought they used some Medieval instrument to produce that EERIE sound but now I know they actually play it on normal Cello/Double Bass. Damn, they are so good to actually play those eerie sounds, I didn't know that Cello/Double Bass can be this powerful and play so many different timbres. LOVE THIS. I wish piano could change its timbre like Stringed instruments like this :)
what a beautifully sad melodies...Amicia should be more in peace with her doings after hearing it reminding of Hugo ....whenever he is. I absolutely love this game!!! I cannot wait for part 3.
This game is one of the best games I have played, and this game will always have a place for me, and I hope that a second part of the game will be released and it will be better because the story of the game is very interesting and the music is a second world that gives the game a special character ❤
I nearly cried watching this, listening to the soundtrack is completely different than seeing all of the musicians and the singers performing this masterpiece The voices joining together to create the choir and the heads of the musicians moving to the rythm create a marvelous scene, I wish I was there to witness this beauty of nature
I finally completed the game, and what a game it was, in fact it was an experience, the story, the actors, the gameplay and this killer background score. The climax was amazing, gut wrenching, for me A Plague Tale Requiem is GOTY.
Man, this game was such a roller-coaster of emotions. Fear, paranoa, stress, anxiety, love, passion, beauty. I'll never forget this game, its artwork, music, english dubbing. Epic.
Such incredible music score! Acting, the story, visuals, gameplay, writing. Wow thank you!! Deserves Game of the Year! I truly hope we get one more and make it a trilogy. Love the time period too:)
Let me take this opportunity to thank Focus Ent. and Asobo Studio for their immense support and the gift they made to me, the musicians and to the players. It was a real emotional experience to see all the musicians perform altogether in this beautiful venue. I wish you all a great musical journey! Merci a tous!
Best team! ❤
Thank you for making two of the best soundtracks I've ever heard in a video game! Your music rivals the likes of Halo and more!
Thank You Olivier and your team for one of the most shocking OST in history of Video Games. I wish you lucky at the awards.
Thank you, your music is art ❤. It is the best soundtrack in the world.
merci à vous

I agree, me too
And its french ! 😄🇫🇷
yeah plague tale and death stranding two best games to make you cry
The strings cut during No turning back just proves how intense that music is
I don't think anyone's strings got cut, they are the hairs of the bows instead
Listening to this after having finished playing Requiem made me cry so much...
this game was absolutely robbed from best soundtrack and best narrative. this game is a masterpiece. at least it was recognised by the nomination.
Let's hope the BAFTAs don't make the same mistake
No matter, this isn't just a game and I think it's above any simple awards events as no other game have ever touched me the way this one has. That's just my opinion though 🍺
You shouldn't pay too much attention to the game awards

During the GOTY this sounded so shallow!
Felt injustice 😫
For me its hard to take this game is a part of me

1:07 Holy crap, few things make my hair stand on end. I got the start of this magnificent OST of an incredible game.
My congratulations ❤❤❤
Game deserves to be made into a movie.
I believe I read somewhere they’re adapting Innocence into a series…I hope they stay loyal to the source material
When I see what they have done with « The last of Us », I rather prefer to keep this gem as it is today! Something in video games and specially this one can never be equaled by a movie adaptation!
It’s being turned into a tv show
Yes, but it will be worse
Just finished a plague tale requiem and i would say that this game has permanently made a space in my mind.
It's not a game, It's an emotion.
I'm still recovering after going through the great "a plague tale requiem" masterpiece.
Thank you Focus entertainment, thank you Asobo studios.
Its hard to take the ending to much pain
The game is a piece of art
True!!
One of the most heartbreaking games in my life. It easily can "fight" with such titans like GoW, The Witcher and TLoU. Thank you, musicians and developers for such a masterpiece
This game is a masterpiece. The music, storyline, characters are phenomenal.
"UP THERE" It will always hurt, it's a feeling 😢 35:44
The music will forever be ingrained in my memory for being one of the most haunting, yet beautiful part of the game. Along with the voice acting, the score really immerses you into the setting and tone of each scene in the game. There are moments where you could recognize the music that goes with the specific scene of the game, like the calm gentleness of Amicia and Hugo playing or having a moment, to Amicia being forced to kill soldiers, to Hugo dream sequence, to Arnaud’s combat with the bagpipes, and his last stand against the Count.
I just finished the game 2 days ago, and I don't remember when I had to cry this much the last time... Like not just once but multiple times, just tearing up again.
Just hearing the soundtrack strikes you right in the heart. Right after finishing the game I could still hear Hugo in my head. How optimistic he first was, and how much Amicia tried to cheer him up and give him and herself hope, when they lost it. His sweet little innocent voice and the bond they had together. Never loosing hope. Fighting, all the ups and downs they went through....
The innocence of Hugo especially makes it more difficult to bear. He's so young, innocent, curious, passionate and lovingly that you just think to yourself "He deservers to make it, this has to end well, happily ever after..!" but the end was good - it had to be like that. It makes the game even better rather than having an ending where you just wear your pink sunglasses. It makes the experience real and bases it on reality. It's kind of like a journey with someone who has cancer, and you are accompanying them, first full of hope for a solution, for a way, then acceptance sets in and you just want to enjoy the last moments. And in the end you have to say goodbye. You know it's not right, it shouldn't be. Why him etc. but what can you do.
Just Hugo saying _"... I love you. I've been happy with you. - Goodbye, Amicia."_ is so emotional with the music in the background and Amicia breaking - such a mature acceptance of reality from a 5 year old, who during his whole journey noticed, said and realised many times "It's all because of me", and now he knows there's only one way (no way out, no "lets try this or that" or "lets go to the mountains together") and he says his last goodbyes - ah it hurst just writing this lol. The music, the Voice actors and the visuals, everything together is just amazing, incredible!
Thanks for that rollercoaster and that unforgettable experience through these two games, Asobo!
You've touched so many hearts with your art.
Great description of what this game is! My GOTY of 2022
Feel you man. Had the same reaction yesterday 😪 Didn't quite recover from it yet. Definitely one of the top games I ever played alongside GoW and TW3.
I am kind of happy that I'm not the only one experiencing this. I don't know how long it will take to recover from this experience. I feel so extremely empty inside. I didn't cry in years before that.
Just beat the game yesterday this song was a precursor to what was about to happen
Man, accepting this ending was just to hard for me at first, I was even angry by how it ended but after watching so many other people playing it on TH-cam I've finally come to appreciate this game and it's meaning. I've even watched the music composer Olivier Deriviere and voice actors for Amicia and Sophia play it and it was exactly what I needed in order to finally come to terms with the amazing experience these two games have to offer. Yes it's a hard pill to swallow but swallow it we must
I hope this game wins at least an award for the best music and hopefully also one for the story. Such a beautiful game.
It got game of the year so yay 😁
It was deserved but sadly did not happen 🥺
Best OST I have heard in a very, very long time. Should have won the Game Awards 2022, but I am sure it will win awards in the near future. Incredible.
This game, and especially this music is absolute perfection. The moment you get into the loading screen for the first time and the main theme actually starts, it gives you instant shivers. You know you are in for a great story.
In 10 years I will be nostalgic for this game, and say it was part, even just a small part, of my childhood. And I’m happy about that.
Can imagine in 10 years i will hear the Main Theme and shed a tear. Might do right now actually lol
Video gaming can be an art form and you have proven it. Thank you for these two immense pearls that I will carry with me forever 🐀
I agree, no other artform has touched me more emotionally as the end of part 2 has.
I never understand how music alone always makes me cry and even before ending the game I remember seeing the loading screen and just leaving it on the main menu and letting the main theme play through and full on tears idk why
Когда в первый раз заиграла "Up There", я испугался. Испугался, что мои опасения касаемо финала начинают сбываться. Видя как Амиция, испуганная на коленях, с такой чистой любовью обнимает Гюго, я не выдержал и заплакал. Её сила, её надежда вели нас вперёд. Казалось, на свете нет ничего, что могло бы сломить Амицию - вот так сильна была её любовь к брату. Но когда Амиция всё - таки сдалась, вместе с ней сдались и мы.
После прохождения, я ещё долго не мог прийти в себя. A Plague Tale единственная игра, которая заставила меня так сильно плакать. Воистину Амиция самая сильная девушка, которую я встречал, хоть и игровой персонаж
That was the hardest feeling when she surrendered we all felt thats the end indeed and left our heart with a bruise.
7:10 ... from this point, it just sends shivers up my spine. Just imagine experiencing this in person.. just wow.
Игра прекрасна, и музыка в ней. Чудеса творят разработчики. Создать такую историю которая оставила очень много эмоций, не смотря на конец. Я ожидала что он такой будет:)
You can even close your eyes and remember all the beautiful places in the game 😢🐁
Thank you Asobo Studios, Thank you Focus Entertainment, Thank you Olivier, Thank you Charlotte and Thank you to all the team behind this amazing game, you'll be always in my heart 🐁🖤.
Much love from México 🇲🇽
Éste juego ha sido una obra maestra, me gustaría verlo ganar algún premio en los Game Awards de éste año, lamentablemente tiene mucha competencia, aún así espero que ésta entrega tenga el suficiente apoyo para que salga un tercer juego, un saludo yo también soy de México 🇲🇽 y larga vida los de Rune!
@@Ace-ql6kq Concuerdo, es impresionante las emociones que te transmite la historia del juego y complementado con la banda sonora pffff, cada vez que escucho There Up termino llorando haha. Ojala se corone en alguna categoría en los GameAwards, pero considero que lo tiene bastante complicado...
(Soy el mismo del comentario principal, pero desde otra cuenta, en esta he subido un tributo final de la historia, quizá te guste, o a cualquiera que lea este comentario :'p )
The best 2022 game for me and forever
Up There was an absolute gut punch (stunning visuals aside), and felt like a farewell letter to the fans who destroyed their eardrums listening to "Beyond the Horizon" on a loop before the game was even released (yes, that's me).
Thank you for this.
That second track, used when Amicia is running and tackling enemies, surrounded by a burning landscape, was so exhilarating during the game. Seeing it here, played live is breathtaking.
For sure I said this music is banging.
From the moment they arrive on the island, the journey becomes absolutely overwhelming.
The ending is perfect, consistent with the story being told.
And that short epilogue... Well, it just breaks your heart.
I finished it yesterday what a sad ending, she did everything in her power trying to give him a normal life, the soundtrack is the soul of this game
I am so glad they made this soundtrack for this game.Everytime i hear this,i start crying but not because i m sad,beacuse i can feel the game insinde me when i hear it.This game left me with emotional damage ,it broke my heart ,i have never played a game with such passion,joy,it felt like i was living it.If you don t like this game and wonder if you should play it,than my answer is yes,you should,this isn t just a game,is a work of art.There will never,i repeat * NEVER* in 50 years from now on will exist,a work of art like this.
just finished the game a week ago. i dont cry playing video games, the closes thing was the last of us part 1 and rdr2, i got teary eyed...but when i got to chapter 16 of this game, my tears were flowing and i didn't even notice it😅...wat a masterpiece of a game..i need ff7 rebirth to come out soon because i can't focus on other games because of plague tale requiem,still stuck in my mind, that ending😭
i just finished the game 10 minutes ago, and came across this... I CANT WAIT TO HEAR THIS LIVE!!
Do you know if they ever plan to play it live ?
@@NB-or8rs they actually did. This clip is from the live they did 4 weeks ago
When you finish this goddamned game and then you realize why it is entitled "Requiem".
What a shock 💔
Best soundtrack ever with Returnal, Last of Us and Halo ❤
This game moved me in a way I've never felt before from a game. Definitely one of the most memorable games I've played
17:15 Awesome! 🎧🎶
Damn you Count Viktor 🤬... RIP Little King 😢😭🤧
I AM DEVASTATED WITH THIS GAME. I was not prepared for that kind of experiece. Absolutely a masterpiece. And Soundtrack... is like a dream.
This game's got an amazing story, but the music is what pushes this to an 11/10
Das ist spiel ist so emotional 😔😢 gefühlvolle Story und Soundtrack
It's crazy that after two years, if I need a good cry I can just listen to the Plague Tale Requiem soundtrack and ball my eyes out for a minute or two. Thanks for that I guess Asobo.
38:00 coming back after months and listening to this again.. this can give me instant tears. This music is just ... so emotional, especially with that little drop in there where suddenly you get that instant flow of pure energy, emotion and power. Wow - I love coming back to this. Thank you for everyone that was involved in this game and soundtracks etc...
still can remember the conversation they had in that dreamy world between amicia and hugo and how hugo knew there was no other way so he tried to explain that to his sister while she was holding on here last hopes and finally she came to the acceptance (i also can remember how i was drawn in tears😭😢)
They made us all shed a tear when hearing this song during that moment in the game.. it was the most emotionally charged stage of the game... It shows the true love and bond between the two of them. One thing I've learned from this game is that family is so important and often taken for granted and we should do everything we can to protect it.
Outstanding. The entire soundtrack was just plain perfection. I would be soo happy if it wins the Best Music at Game Awards.
Only one word to describe this: goosebumps. You can see how much devotion and passion has been put into developing this game. Just finished it a couple of days ago and it's a masterpiece. The story, the sound, the music, the graphics. Very disappointed it didn't win any awards, though it deserved not just one, but many more. Good job to the entire team (musicians included)!
PS. It was worth each and every buck paid to play it.
I've just finished a plague tale... This game will be something special for me forever
After playing the game through to the end and knowing the story, this has brought tears to my eyes, the raw beauty of music
These games and soundtracks should be up for awards for the next 10 years lol. I tell everyone I know that games to dive in and get ready for one hell of an emotional ride..
Would love to see a third entry in the series, preferably still historic, maybe even going back to the Justinian Plague and see Aelia's story played out or make a trilogy out of Amicia's tale
Oooh that or to show Lucas/Beatrice's journey before reaching La Cuna.
(I like the Aelia idea more though)
Najlepsza gra jaką ostatnio grałem. Historia mnie poruszyła i to bardzo. Dziękuje
Wow...words escape me. I can honestly say that only the game itself couldve made me shed this many tears. I know I'm a day or so late, but hearing these tracks performed "Live" was simply breathtaking. I cought myself a few times sitting with my eyes closed, literally forgetting to breath, as I was washed away with melodies. Each and every song was performed with such grace, such inspiration, and last but not least, PASSION. Every song felt purposeful. Necessary. And thanks to the Live performance I was able to visually pick apart and fully appreciate each individual instrument and character.
To each and every person who had a roll to play, be it big or small, THANK YOU!! This game is special, and a Massive part of that comes from the passion and drive that the music puts forth. 😁👍
39:47 - When the symphony almost ends, the Game Title shows up. DAMN that hits me really hard, I got shiver from all my back. It's like the final goodbye to Hugo :( Thank you, Thanks for making this game and these wonderful songs.
I can't wait to finally cover "Up There" and "Brother" on my Piano. I love these two tracks really much. Sad that "Brother" is not played in this Symphony. Well, it has the same Theme as the Main Theme after all. But I love the guitar pattern, it sounds Medieval to me haha.
From a gamer to you: Thank you very much for this gift
13:04 if you don't call that heaven, idk what to think
WOW, they are so so talented, it's so nice to be able to put a face on all the people who made me cry like never before... and i cried again hearing it live, Congrats and THANK YOU ALL !
After finishing the game I just sat there at the menu listening to this masterpiece. I do not cry easily but this game hit me like nothing I`ve played or watched before. It´s been 3 weeks and I still shed tears after listening to this cuz it brings back all the memories you had with the characters, story and the game itself as a player. For me this game will always have a special place in my heart and I hope you guys get the popularity and success you deserve. Thank you Focus Entertainment and Asobo Studio ♥
First ever game to touch my emotions so deeply. Beautiful game and masterpiece soundtrack!
I don't know about game awards or steam awards, but this game is MY GOTY. Best OST, amazing story, deep characters and mind-blowing visual . Incredible game!
This isn't just a game, for me it was a emotional journey. I cloud literally feel characters emotions, I cant hide I was crying in the end of this game. Whole game and this masterpiece music with all those ppl aiming to compose this soundtrack with stunning and emotional results. Great work, big up for symphony and Asobo studio.
Bravo to Olivier Derivière for the beautiful music he created for the game! And congrats for being nominated for The Game Awards!
This performance is absolutely stunning. The cello players are very passionate, playing harshly, almost as if they are fighting.
Да, согласна! Я тоже на виолончели играю (учусь). Для меня прям страсть это слушать
This deserves 255 million views. So much emotion is in the game and most of it comes from the music. Absolute masterpiece and masterful artists.
انا بكيت والله اول ما سمعتها، قكرتني بإحساس اول مرة اختمها
One of the best games and one of the best OST in history!!!
How don't to cry listening to this ending chorus 😭😭😭
Я очень люблю обе игры A Plague Tale и влюбилась в музыку с первых нот. Никогда не слышала ничего более захватывающего и атмосферного. Мне как историку, интересующегося историей средневековой Европы, искренне приятно, что музыка передает ту атмосферу, которая царила в страшные годы чумы, и в то же время переплетается с сюжетом игры. Сама игра заставляет меня плакать снова и снова - каждый раз, когда я ее заканчиваю. Порекомендую посмотреть и послушать эти шедевры всем своим друзьям и знакомым. Я уверена, что такая музыка никого не оставит равнодушным. Нижайший поклон всем, кто участвовал в исполнении и создании этого шедевра!
Согласна с вами! Очень ждала вторую часть, она вышла супер-атмосферная. Эта игра вместе с музыкой просто разбили мне сердце. Пробирает мурашками от каждой темы. Ну а концовка... До сих пор как увижу, плачу.
Best way to watch and listen to this masterpiece is after finishing the game. Makes me emotional. Never in a game made me feel like this.
Sounds like you have quite a few more narrative masterpieces to play - Witcher 3, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Metal Gear Solid 2, for a start :) I loved Requiem too, even more than Innocence.
@@8Paul7 I'm also new to narrative games and I started it with the plague tale series and it was just amazing. I'm planning to play RDR2 next, I hope it also delivers a beautiful narrative just like A plague tale.
Шедевральный саундтрек. Снова рыдаю. История plague tale оставила глубокий след в моем сердце. Хотелось бы отменить потрясающую игру актеров озвучки. Особенно Шарлотты МакБерни, смогла передать всю боль и отчаяние.
I really hope this concert will also be played in 2024, I will defend buy tickets
i found my people. the most beautiful pain I felt. finishing the game hurt my heart but I wouldn't change it for anything.
The greatest game ever made and the greatest symphony ever played ❤️
So very powerful. Perfectly portrays both strength and anguish. Truly glorious - both the singers and the musicians.
Yes! I was thinking how No Turning Back perfectly conveys the fear and urgency of the situation as well as the empowerment 'we're doing it!' - fleeing and defending themselves.
Olivier created an amazing sound for the game, it's like a mix of Ramin Djawadi's Game of Thrones with Gustavo Santaolalla's The Last of Us and a bit of Hans Zimmer's Pirates of the Caribbean
Beautiful concert, fantastic soundtrack. A highlight of the year, to see Asobo growing into GOTY territory with Requiem. Top design, top narrative, top music, top acting, etc. You all deserve all the accolades you're receiving. Can't wait to see your next projects.
Being a real musician and playing a "symphony" for a game must be like being an actor in a superhero movie.
I think plague tale 2 was enough to say this is favorite game franchise. No questions asked. When I was younger it use to be halo then it changed to assassin's Creed but now it goes to plague tale. I would understand if it doesn't win game of the year but it deserves it very badly. You can tell how much hard work they put into it and how much love just from the music alone. The ending killed me but I think it's my favorite ending in any videogame
23:35 until 31:45 is the perfect example of exactly what a talented conductor brings to a symphony. God damn.
Lately games are touching emotions more than series and movies, it's fantastic how game studios work making such an engaging game, soundtrack, plot, realism among other things... When you play A Plague Tale it seems that you come back in time and venture as if they were part of history living each experience, even when facing a monitor.
7:23 - Before watching this, I thought they used some Medieval instrument to produce that EERIE sound but now I know they actually play it on normal Cello/Double Bass. Damn, they are so good to actually play those eerie sounds, I didn't know that Cello/Double Bass can be this powerful and play so many different timbres.
LOVE THIS. I wish piano could change its timbre like Stringed instruments like this :)
This game deserves more than the best. Such an emotional journey, even just listening to the soundtrack.
7:22 'Omg moooore moooore we need moooore'' with amicia voice
Best game soundtrack I ever heard
what a beautifully sad melodies...Amicia should be more in peace with her doings after hearing it reminding of Hugo ....whenever he is. I absolutely love this game!!! I cannot wait for part 3.
This game is one of the best games I have played, and this game will always have a place for me, and I hope that a second part of the game will be released and it will be better because the story of the game is very interesting and the music is a second world that gives the game a special character ❤
I nearly cried watching this, listening to the soundtrack is completely different than seeing all of the musicians and the singers performing this masterpiece
The voices joining together to create the choir and the heads of the musicians moving to the rythm create a marvelous scene, I wish I was there to witness this beauty of nature
I finally completed the game, and what a game it was, in fact it was an experience, the story, the actors, the gameplay and this killer background score. The climax was amazing, gut wrenching, for me A Plague Tale Requiem is GOTY.
15:05 - is it from another world?... omg that's beautiful
This games music is amazing, legendary even as it pulls you into every scene. Great job to everyone involved in making this music.
Man, this game was such a roller-coaster of emotions. Fear, paranoa, stress, anxiety, love, passion, beauty. I'll never forget this game, its artwork, music, english dubbing. Epic.
Such incredible music score! Acting, the story, visuals, gameplay, writing. Wow thank you!! Deserves Game of the Year! I truly hope we get one more and make it a trilogy. Love the time period too:)
