You’re amazing
@@MarcoMeatball you should play the games :3
I really really hoped that they would play legendary Fire youngman
God work, ty
@@el3ndir97 i was hoping but not surprised malebolge isnt played. its just not possible to be orchestral but it still gives me shivers and memories when i hear it.
Nothing makes me more emotional than Unsung War. Genuine masterpiece that deserves more viewings and appreciations outside of the more game oriented spheres and into everywhere the world over. It's so masterful.
Majestic really
Unsung War is one of the few pieces of video game music to send a chill down my spine. It does it every time.
There are not words for how this series’s music has changed my life, and so I will leave my comment short; chase that true sky.
And if this music has changed you like it has changed me then I IMPLORE YOU there is one game, a spiritual successor to Ace Combat you must listen to, “PROJECT WINGMAN” it will leave you speechless
@@theodorixjohnson4336 He explained in the video that he will be reacting to PW and releasing those videos later this year.
I really recommend Nassault's Blockade video. They recreate the mission in DCS. The combination of Keiki Kobayashi's composition and the visual storytelling from Nassault really elevates what is music for a relatively mundane filler mission to a new level.
Nassault’s Round Table video too, it may not be the right mission for Zero but the video is still a masterpiece.
Heck, same can be said about all of Nassault’s Ace Combat cinematics.
Nassault is a legend for the videos he's created.
Don't forget Nassault's Emancipation,
The scene when he evaded 5 missiles incredibly fit with the music🤌🏾
Yes! Glatisant, too!
This concert only picked a few tracks from a few different games in the franchise, there’s still many more that I believe deserves to be played in a concert hall
"Fighter's Honor" comes to mind.
There's too much to count!
@@fusioncell7669 Fighter's Honor and Rebirth came to mind for me
three of a kind and anchorhead raid are some of my favorites that don't get mentioned
Fire young man!
Ihope Marco hears it someday
The cherry on top would of been if they brought in the band “Puddle of Mudd” to play Blurry lol 😆
Glad to hear you're going to play AC7 soon, I can't wait! I'm really sad I couldn't get to see this live (had a family obligation), and I wish I had because 1) Blue Skies Infinity Remix is my favorite Ace Combat track of all time and I've always wanted to watch you react to it, I'm glad I got to see it with the VOD :D and 2) there's a LOT of misconceptions that were shared in chat that I feel need to be cleared up in case someone reads them and takes them to heart. Apologies for the long comment, but I just wanna make sure these are corrected.
9:08, 1:19:33, 1:19:42, 1:20:07 Contrary to popular belief, Ace Combat 7 was not delayed specifically to create Daredevil, and Keiki Kobayashi did NOT ask for Ace Combat 7 to be delayed to recompose Daredevil. It was already delayed. They just took the opportunity to make Daredevil last-minute.
36:49, 36:59, 37:54, 1:10:25, 1:42:51 The modern port of AC5 is NOT available in any purchase of AC7 anymore. These chat messages were referring to a trick that has since been patched.
48:28 The choir here may be faster, but they do NOT cut any of the lines.
1:41:38 See above, the access to AC6 is NOT available in any purchase of AC7 anymore. There was never any trick for this one. It was only a pre-order incentive, like AC5 was intended to be as well.
8:32 Blockade is not Keiki Kobayashi's first composition to be played in the series. That title goes to ISAF, which was the track right before.
20:38 That track is Stonehenge, not Naval Blockade, and it's from AC04, not AC5.
22:40 That was not a transition into ISAF, that was a transition into Heaven's Gate. It uses the same motif, but it's much different.
30:44 Comona was not played in this concert.
31:44 As said earlier, Heaven's Gate was used as the transition between Stonehenge and Invincible Fleet.
33:11, 35:27 The Latin in Megalith Agnus Dei has extremely important meaning, as Marco himself explained in this video and in his original reaction to Megalith. Most of all, "Agnus Dei" itself literally means "Lamb of God", it's a Christian allegory.
55:50 There is no in-universe author of The Journey Home. The claim that the song is Yuktobanian was made-up.
1:09:09 AC3's release in the west was not fumbled. The game did so poorly, Namco did not have the money to localize it.
1:13:43 AC7 has no servers, it's peer-to-peer, so that online will always be technically available. Just need the people to play.
1:16:50 AC7's multiplayer is not cross-platform.
1:40:10 AC6 has never been ported to any platform.
1:52:12 There are no tracks in Joint Assault subject to DMCA takedown claims. All Joint Assault tracks are original to that game.
Woah cool reading this - I’m glad you enjoyed the vod and I appreciate your comment!
Wow, Sly graces us with his presence! Thank you for sharing, Sly!
Glad to see you here too Sly
Eyyyy its Sly! Nice to see you've found your way here too haha, we'll make Marco one of us yet
Oh shit, fancy seeing you here!
“Listening to Zero completely changed my life” mood
I feel bad for him not having experienced it the way we did...
@@ryanparker4996good news: he did
I've been listening to the concert almost everyday. And it made me cry a few times. And when Brand New Day came in as I was watching your reaction to it, I cried. Ace Combat just hits you where it feels good.
As Keiki said: "I mean, it's ace combat! It's a flight sim!"
extremely excited for alicorn. if you liked archange, you're gonna love this one.
Alicorn is basically the counterpart to Archange. Instead from the titular Archangel descending from the skies, you got the monster rising from the depths of the sea.
You reacting to this concert gave me the thought - I HIGHLY recommend reacting to the "Score" concert by the Swedish symphony orchestra if you haven't already seen it. Incredible arrangements for a variety of incredible game OSTs (Zelda, Final Fantasy, Journey, Bloodborne, etc), and the recording is fantastic too!
Ok! Fun!
@@MarcoMeatball here's the link if you need it! I feel like you'd absolutely love this. The solo vocalist is incredible as well th-cam.com/video/-PkdLMIz-Ys/w-d-xo.html
@@MarcoMeatball Also the video game concert by the Danish Symphony Orchestra - if I remember correctly, they also posted videos of it on TH-cam on their offical channel.
"A Brand New Day" played at the end of the concert was an encore if I remember correctly. It is also my absolute favorite ending themes from the Ace Combat series.
The mission prior, Chandelier, was singing about our dark, snowy night. All the Earth sleeps beneath a blanket of white, darkness clouds the skies, snow falls without end. Afterwards, the sun comes and our new day is here.
"Even after the darkest nights, morning always comes. Those we have lost gave their lives to bring the morning light. Living each day to the fullest is the highest tribute we can offer to their memory." - AWACS Ghost Eye
in the chat someone said "time to go dancing with the angels"
i legit cry.. i love AC6 and the rest of the series.
Oh man, watching this is such a treat. Something that I love about this rendition of the Liberation of Gracemeria is the part where Kobayashi has the audience clap along, it goes along with what you said, about each instrument getting to play the melody, each one is highlighted and gets to play a part, and so what is awesome is that even the audience plays a part, it's like this rallying song, a song for the people, a song that involves you not just as a listener but as a participant, that is always great in music, but it is especially fitting for the storytelling of this theme. Thank you Marco!
When you hear Latin, you're in for it.... And wow what a concert. And, I totally missed it. I'll have a look back at this later today. Thank you!
The Ace Combat Infinity remix of Blue Skies comes in the final campaign mission of the game. Operation Bunker Shot has been foiled by the enemy dropping ASTEROIDS FROM ORBIT on the UN Task Force, casualties are high, defeat is inevitable, everyone is on the verge of despair.
And then ISAF rallies around the Player and goes "fuck you, we're seizing victory from the jaws of defeat", and that's when the music kicks in.
It's a glorious Ace Combat moment.
The part when audience clap, it just so makes me move and I almost tears up with this epic performance, that might be surpass the studio version of Liberation Gracemeria
I think I got blue balls during Enchanter I waiting for the drums for Enchanter II to kick in. Oh well, maybe someday.
Love that you did an encore with the Skies Arguing In Latin
Check out Vincent Moretto's sick metal covers: th-cam.com/video/hcB1pnFgc0k/w-d-xo.html - I used his version of Gracemeria for the intro!
Thanks for the tip but I don't think the Ace Combat community needs a reminder that Vincent Moretto exists, lmao, as far as I'm concerned he's responsible for the era of covers and fan compositions that we live in today.
Well... Partially.
Check out Net Zone and Lucas Ricciotti when you get a chance, instead of straight covers they do original compositions using the themes and motifs from the games.
I came for Ace Combat music. I stayed to get educated on classical music. Thanks!
Archange is one of my favorites because of the specific sounds it uses in the track. The piece was specifically tailored for the section it belongs to. The jet engine sound used and the electronic piece because of the importance for the character (the pilot you are facing), being assisted by machines in order to keep on flying. Mihaly is actually an old man who should have retired long ago, yet there he is.
If I remember correctly, Blockade has a really funky timing, like 7/4 time or something. Which is a hell of a way to introduce your muscial style to a series.
I'm not a very emotional person, so maybe it's just the vocalist in me plus having played all the Air/Ace Combat games and remembering the significance of the missions in which the songs play; I actually started streaming tears during the vocals for Daredevil.
When the time comes check out Project Wingman OST Live Orchestra Anniversary 2022 I wager you wont be disappointed.
So happy to see these amazing people getting some recognition for their work. The Ace combat OST are criminally underrated. Also I've noticed no one has recommended you probably the most insane track of AC7. Please check out the track called "mimic".
Also would love to see a video on a song created for an anime. "Moon" by Yoko kanno.
The AC5 remix of Blue Skies is my favorite song in the series, specifically because it's also the exact type of music my grandfather, who was a Master Sergeant working on F-4E Phantom IIs as a crew chief in the USAF and Air National Guard, absolutely loved. My grandfather passed away in 2006, and hearing this song reminds me of many of my best childhood memories simply because it reminds me so much of him and the love for aircraft he passed onto me.
Ah, "A Brand New Day," a song for the new dawn, beyond the darkness.
I would highly recommend listening to the original. It's in a completely different pitch.
That and chandelier
Wish I was there if you friends. What a phenomenal performance there, I'll certainly start listening to more Ace Combat music soon haha
My goodness... the AC series already has incredible music, but that concert was something else. They elevated it to another level.
the reason for the sense of 'tension' in ac4 music was that the story behind the game was one whole tension event. 'invincible fleet' was probably was one of the most tense driven
I truly hope Kono does a remaster of the entire series or at least the main story line (AC0-4,5,6 & I think 3 too?) for this gen.
That's not Kono's decision to make. All of the numbered games, plus X and 3D/Legacy, are part of the main story, but not all of them are equal in importance.
The reason why AC5 was part of the AC7 preorder was so it was able to be under the license given to AC7. The license for aircraft is the biggest hindering factor :(
Kinda rude to leave out AC1 and 2, since those are rather important for the story of 4 and 7
3 requires so much localization that they've flat out said they will never do it
Pleasantly surprised to see this reaction, when I recommended you listen to the 25th anniversary I was not expecting a full 2 hour stream
WELL BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR
Thank you. Medical thing had me crying so much that I couldn't focus on anything, listing to you find meaning in things that mean a lot to me helped.
01:35:48 Liberation of Gracemaria is such an integral part of AC6 and so thematically relevant I can't imagine AC6 without. The sense of anxious wait for something great to come, hope and yet still an underlying sense of weight and importance on what is about to unfold. The sense of grandeur at every point of it is just so much. To this day that music makes me excited for the liberation of fictional place. As someone who to this day has AC2 OST on their phone and gets giddy when Fire Youngmen starts, I can't emphasize on how much music has been part of AC experience to me. Thanks for the video.
I really hope they re do this for the 30th with a full choir
I like to see orchestra playing the music of games I think it's amazing besides the emotion that passes and remembering the scene listening to the music!! Have you seen The Witcher 3 the concert? it's a phenomenal 1 hour and 28 minutes of pure beauty
I found your channel just yesterday, and I have been binging your videos ever since. Your reaction and commentary of the genshin La Signora funeral taught me that apparently everyone within the harbingers were from a very real italian opera. Since then I just enjoyed your content regardless if I knew it or not. If possible, could you try listening to a group called Love Solfege? They’ve been around for a very long time and are surprisingly unknown for the amazing music. They do opera with a twist and I would love to see you react to it! Anyways, keep up with the amazing vids!
Hi Keisen glad you came from genshin and have been enjoying everything else. I don’t react to non video game things here but will happily listen in private ❤️❤️❤️
Archange really is the culmination of a fight between Aces, sur-human capability of flying those birds of prey.
I would be in tears from start to finish, like I was during the ori concert. Truly magical.
I’ve rewatched this multiple times already and I have way too many comments to make about each segment. Suffice it to say, it is a great concert and I really appreciated the commentary, Marco! Your thoughts on the music theory and composition, given your own personal training and experiences enhanced my enjoyment of this concert.
Thank you!
Addendum: Given Keiki Kobayashi’s very versatile composition over the years, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was classically trained before branching out to Blues, Jazz, and Flamenco.
Just found you reacted to this, I listen to it daily. Your reaction to music is great keep it up. I love your passion for it
Thank you Marko!
Man I've been waiting for your reaction to Blue Skies for so long, thx so much 🙏🏻
Now react to Anchorhead Raid plz!
I’ve never truly appreciated video game music until i came across your channel about a year back. Thank you for that
My pleasure
5:01 is the embodiment of "I am here. You are safe."
Man, the chills
Ace Combat's got one hell of a banger soundtrack, and the concert finished off with one of the best soundtracks in the series. The song slaps, and I'm glad you agree 😂
Just joking of course, but I was definitely dancing with the angels when I saw you react to this
01:46:28 the original soundtrack is sung by a childrens choir, and is (IMO) even more moving, especially if you consider the AC6 storyline
Not gonna lie, Liberation of Gracemeria changed my life. I first heard it very young, in first grade. Thay tune. Hoo boy. Made me a lifelong Ace Combat fan. I'm so glad to see this series's muisc impacting someone else! I can never say it enough, I love that track!
And AC6 best AC game.
Glad you enjoyed Vincent Moretto's version of Liberation of Gracemeria. I think it hits harder than the in-game orchestral version.
Excited to watch this stream vod, like you I never played the games but the music won me over
I hope you enjoy it
One of the most memorable Motif in all of Ace combat gotta be the one from Ace Combat 4, it has played on multiple titles including AC7. I hope they keep referencing my favorite Ace in future games
There's a really cool channel called Lucas Rocciotti who does remixes of Ace Combat as well as other fighter jet games and he's really good
I highly recommend checking him out
Cool!!!!
Japanese music composers are real masters to make epic songs, even if there is no vocals, you should totaly listen to some of the gundam franchise OST. especially the combat themes ! Thanks for this anyway
The Gundam Unicorn soundtrack definitely comes to mind immediately
Operation Area B7R...
The Round Table.
the sound a few seconds after the chant in Archange almost sounds like a jet engine spooling up, i think that's intentional
For sure it does and is!
Like I said on the "Archange" reaction video - screw Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture with the cannons, Mahler with the mallet, gimme Kobayashi on the Pratt & Whitney every day.
@@agp11001 honestly you’re right
Yes, you always here hope in this music, that's very true!
The Ace Combat concert was really amazing, its a shame that they didn't play Chandelier, Awakening And Alicorn, those tracks are simply something else
It seems like they were a little short on singers for some reason, not sure if it was a COVID thing or something else. Namco-Bandai's sound team has their own choir, so.
It's a shame, you really feel the lack of those male backing voices in some of the pieces they played here.
So there are 3 versions of Blue Skies.
The two remixes that you played from AC5 and AC Infinity respectively and then there’s the original from AC04, my personal favorite. The vocals are by singer and songwriter Stephanie Cooke.
Ooooooooo gotta listen to it on the channel then!
1:49:30
I love how everyone in the chat immediately shuts up as soon as Kobayashi pulls out the brass and strings
Went to a Concert found ourselfs at a RockShow.
You go to a Concert to listen to, but a RockShow you gotta headbang.
😎
"Sir, picking up enemy transmissions. Some music, with strings, brass, strong bass... and vocals... Latin!"
"Whelp, we are ^(%$#"
Okay Marco, one more comment: Thank you for comparing Megalith Agnus Dei to the classic Agnus Dei. I’ve been waiting for YEARS for someone to commentate on it. Thank you!
omg! I'm glad. I love love love the agnus dei.
That sounded like Frank Klapaki's work in your intro. Brings me back to command and conquer red alert!
i love classical music/ opera and also heavy metal and video games. and honestly there are 'campier' music in the classical world. berlioz or verdi come to mind, heck Mozart's infamous barber of Saville which was his big eff you to the Austrian elites. i think the evolution of music in mass media has grown similarly to traditional classical music
Awesome stream Marco!
Lmao the chat during Zero
Keiki Kobayashi is the real Ace
Goddamn Invincible Fleet hits so hard.
I'm so glad you enjoy AC music so much 😄😁
Marco, i'm stumbled your channel because i need more youtubers react to this live orchestra. sadly, Ace Combat is in niche game category that probably not tons of people know the existent of this series. as someone grew up with this series makes me sad. the thing with Keiki Kobayashi style of composing, he's truly the master combining between futuristic beat with classical music which i'm recommended checks all the tracks between Ace Combat 4,5,Zero and 7 including the DLC. this orchestra just barely scratches the surface of his music. keep reacted more content from Ace Combat, Marco. cheers!
Love love love ace combat
😢 blue sky’s is so beautiful if I’m having a bad day I put on blue skies and it makes me feel better but I listen to the AC4 version
God I love Blockade so much
1:38:46 All I can say is that it's amazing how they make such perfect decisions when they can't fail, like the harp here.
1:42:14 From this point onwards, the rhythm really starts to go out of whack, albeit slightly.
1:42:36 This master violinist brought all the rhythms back to normal. They're shaking hands at the end, so maybe it's on a different level.
Blockade was Kobayashis first track for Ace Combat 4
I'm so glad you did this
1:17:10 - That melody is from Back to the Future
I've played AC2 and I couldn't beat it, then AC3 happens twice, AC4 twice, AC5 3 times, ACZero once, AC assault horizon once (rebirth is a beautiful song), AC6 once and 4 times the AC7. In none of these episodes had I realized the fantastic songs that had accompanied me until I started to find and listen to them on TH-cam. Anyway, thank you very much for the video and I already want to one day enjoy AC8 and its music💪💪💪
The Journey Home is mellow and seems different and not suited for an Ace Combat game compared to Blurry (AC 5 opening)-by Puddle of Mudd- but its usage in the game is an experience cause the song emphasizes peace in war
Also, "LA LA LA, LISTEN TO OUR BEAUTIFUL VOICES" when Oka Nieba enters the game ^^
I’m glad you reacted to Blue Skies (Infinity remix) is this. To me, it is the track that represents Ace Combat as a whole, honestly I think it’s because I’ve watched this amazing tribute video a few times: th-cam.com/video/WZrb3_W1Mm8/w-d-xo.html (spoilers for Zero, 4, 5, 6, and 7)
i think everyone agrees that the audience should have joined in during the unsung war. The choir simply needed more power.
I was crying during Journey Home
New to your channel and love your content. I am a video game soundtrack nostalgia junky and a bass player in a ska-punk band.
Nice Gong! Glad to have you!
idk why but some tracks remind me of Valkyria Chronicles
"Yo buddy, still alive?"
Fighter's Honor from Ace Combat 3D. Big recommend
YOOOOOO VINCENT MORETTO AT THE BEGINNING
I wonder if you're going to react to Project Wingman's live orchestra that would be so cool
Yup🙃
日本の音楽を聴いてくれてありがとう^^v From JP
Nobody was talking about Warning Line and Lightning Speed.
AC2 erasure, bad enough there was no AC1 in this.
Mihaly's kingdom, was the sky
Putting an ad in the middle of Daredevil should be a crime punishable by law. The same should be said for quite a few songs in this video.
Its not like I decide that so point your ire at TH-cam!!!
@@MarcoMeatball Haha, sorry Marco. It was more of a general outburst than directed at you. I've seen more than enough of your videos to know that you wouldn't want to do such a thing yourself. I've frankly had it with YT's ad placement among other things.
By all means, keep doing what you're doing. There's a insane wealth of excellent music in the videogame realm that is too compartmentalized to enjoy the level of appreciation they deserve. Thank you for being one of those that can shed some light on these pieces.
The Ace series musical numbers have held a very special place in my heart. I never knew exactly why, but they resonate with me on many levels. I can always come back to them. I play Daredevil on my drive to work. My fiance bought me the expanded Ace 7 soundtrack for my birthday. I jumped when I heard it play at the Tokyo Olympics. It felt like watching a cherished son/daughter finally making it.
Take care, and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
(Also, thanks for the reply. I honestly didn't think you'd be looking at a comment on a video that's months old.)
@@Gunnberg85 haha I agree that they suck and I hate being beholden to ads as a means of revenue and it’s annoying as shit when they come on during freaking daredevil of all things. I was JAMMING to zero yesterday while doing split squats and if an ad came out I would have hurled my phone 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 happy thanksgiving to you and yours too!
@@MarcoMeatball Oddly enough, they had a couple Ace albums on Spotify for a time. It wasn't until only a few months ago that Namco/Bandai took them down. I was thinking of starting a petition to ask them to put them back...or at least sell the albums in the US. Thoughts?
@@Gunnberg85 def do it
Marco please do a video of u listening to Inevitable Conflict from Genshin, I wanna know so much what you think of it
Hi Marco, this was a great reaction video, and I highly recommend that you listen to the soundtrack to the video game Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. Michael Giacchino is such an amazing composer.
Sure!!!
LMAO, Blue Skies Infinity Remix makes all of us feel like badasses in AC7 Multiplayer. Even when we are getting our asses kicked by super veteran pilots.
You should definitely try the vocal part of daredevil💀😳
Imagine if the audince joined in with the choir during unsung war
I would have shit myself
Well, we got audience participation during "Liberation of Grismaria"
I didn't know this stream was taking place and missed it. have a like and a sub as a "Sorry about that"
Thats okay!!! Thank you.
My favorite faction is the ISAF Independent State Allied Forces
Its amazing. I just wish they had included long day.
43:30 Chopper death theme....
yeah I admit...I cried...
there is absolutely no reason for AC6 to go this hard
