Mass Effect is an incredible achievement and probably the most complex and well realized SciFi universe out there. Those who played the original trilogy probably remember that the ending did not hold up, but it doesn't take away all the great moment this story has given us. Characters like Garrus, Thane, Tali, Legion, Mordin... This was Bioware in its prime and we're lucky to have been around when they bestowed this gift upon us. The soundtrack also stands the test of time, and now that the Mass Effect Remaster has been announced I decided to pay tribute in the only way I can. One epic emotional piano medley that takes you through the entire trilogy. Hope you enjoy!
Ad Astra Per Aspera.
May Commander Shepard Rest In Piece.
Music composed by Clint Mansell, Sam Hulick, Jack Wall, Christopher Lennertz

Weirdly, I actually associate this music more with Elite: Dangerous than I do with the Mass Effect trilogy.
I used to listen to this OST (including this very recording) while playing that game for hours on end. I was an explorer, I flew out to Beagle Point multiple times. This music was the perfect soundtrack, many fond memories of jumping from system to system in my Truckaconda, whilst getting profoundly drunk. Thank-you my friend, I enjoy your ebony and ivory, even to this day. It was this, or Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. Both genres work, for some reason. Space is weird.

😢😭 RIP Admiral Anderson
Right in the feels.
After all these years, ME3 should have ended there. The citadel explodes, reapers die. None of the whole god child stuff.
Just a thought.
@@verios44 Reapers die? Hell no! Turn them all good. That way the problem is solved *and* we can spare EDI and The Geth.
@@CyberController- I dunno, that ending had some really sinister potential dystopian overtones to it, especially since Shepard's consciousness was going to lose its humanity after a while
Had to be him. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.
Mordin Solus, that moment....🥺😭

@@GreyFox909 WHAT that is so fucking cool. I just beat the legendary edition last night and I almost thought it was Martin Sheen again putting on a voice
I'm not crying, you're crying!
They just have to use this dialogue over the next trailer we get for the next Mass Effect game. It's too perfect
This trilogy taught me a lot of things. The most important one, though: If you ever find a friend who even compares to Garrus, hold on to them with everything you have.
Better yet, be a Garrus to someone.
@@NocturnalBeing Damn, that's a good one. Hell yeah be a garrus to someone.
I'm trying to be
You call him friend i call him sexy Turian boyfriend/ husband. Mmmmm Garrus
@@Question3verything or a Kadian
“Stand amongst the ashes of a trillion dead souls, and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.”
Damn, as much as I personally disliked Javik's asshole-ish attitude, I can't help but feel respect for him and that particular quote. Making a heroic sacrifice in the name of nothing but honor doesn't really matter in a war for ultimate survival. And he really knew the meaning of a Total War, where survival of the species was put above all else, every single virtue that the Protheans held dear. I miss Mass Effect now ;(
Javik is one of the best idea of Mass effect 3 for sure. Perfect quote, very relevant.
Atin, do you have a plan about adding this to spotify?
Вражаючий вислів Явіка.
Please I need this on Spotify.
I'm still waiting on Garrus to join me at the bar. Have a drink, and look back at our most valiant moments. Probably the best triology i've ever played!
As I got to tell Jennifer Hale last year-people complain about the end of Game of Thrones, but at least that HAD a ending for everyone!
@Pinkaugust Having a poor ending, doesn't affect the quality of the games.
I agree, only game I ever been tearful to finish absolutely loved it...... Really want them to do a revamp on current platform s
@@badgermead8228 From what I hear this is happening slated to release 2021 or 2022.
@@tiny99990 Just as long as Garrus doesn't insist on calibrating it.
"I need you to make it out of here alive, Tali. Go back on Rannoch, build yourself a home."
"I have a home. Come back to me."
The most heartbreaking line in the entire trilogy.
@@MKOpride Yeah, I cried so much that I even paused the game for almost an hour
Keelah se'lai
Is it weird to say that I miss tali? I can't just play it again... Well, I do and choose tali but it will be never the same again, I think. I dunno... I miss my... "friends"
I have extended cut and romance tali. but the evacuation scene never happen to me :( is it because of mods?
"Error, copying code insufficient; direct personality dissemination is required. . . . Shephard-commander i must go to them, im. . .im sorry, it is the only way"
"Legion, the answer to your question is yes"
"I know tali. . . But thank you, Keelah se'lai"
Top 5 saddest moments :(
The only time Legion refers to himself as "I"
One of the most emotional moments in the whole series. Still getting goosebumps just thinking about it.
F you, I'm not crying
Legion finally refer to itself not as a collective. In its last moments, it gains full autonomy out of its own actions and the first and last thing it did was to save its people and the galaxy. You indeed has a soul, Legion.
Mass Effect is one of the few games that really made me feel I was there desperately battling to save the Earth. Great story line and a strong musical score.
Man I cried when I beat ME3 for the first time...
All 3 endings are rough, hits you where it hurts
You know how in Enders game they tricked him into killing the buggers because he thought it was a game...
@@badjuju2721 First time? Ima waterfalling my face everytime I finish it..
Especially in 2 and 3 where there are limits to your missions before shit happens and hits the fan! Like in 2
(Spoilers beyond please go play the games then come back friends)
If you went up to two mission your crew would be fine after their capture but if you did three missions, well let's not dwell on what I won't fuck with ever again.... TIME!!!
One of the greatest stories ever told anywhere. Easily competes with film and novels.
@Alexizonf1re Same. Easily my favorite game series.
Agreed!
I dunno man, ME2 and ME3 really suffered from writing narrative meltdown and inconsistency.
Great games though but suffered greatly from various departments meddling with actual developers of the game.
@Alexizonf1re I can tell for him but my concern about AI has go to the roof, since i played this trilogy. And i am a programmer. The Quarian incident is a real posisibility in the future of the humanity. The scary part is most programmer in this field are like the Illusive man and are reallly beleiving that we can control this technology.. And the teamates of the Shadow Broker (Googlle, Facebook, Twitter) are seriouly getting on my nerves. Bur the most troubliing part is this realisation: In the reality, the large majority of people will choose a conforting lie insteat of an inconfortable truth even if it will cause a ton of death, Unitl the problem is on their doorstep ...
@@omegaman7377 I actually always took the Geth as a warning in the other direction - don't assume AI gaining Sentience is inevitably going to lead to violent revolution. The tragedy of the Quarians is that they've spent generations in exile from their home, suffering the biological (weakening immune systems) and psychological (constant mistrust and resentment from other species, constantly worrying about their homes breaking down, growing up with their entire previous civilisation barely being more than a creation myth to them etc) consequences, when ALL they had to do in order for everything to turn out wonderfully was accept the Geth as a new species and politely ask if they'd terribly mind still doing most of the manual labor.
That said, the game heavily implies that a big part of the Geth's comparative peacefulness is that they are, by nature, co-operative - a core concept of how they perceive and interact with the universe is the idea that many individuals working together to a common consensus is more beneficial than an individual attempting to do everything themselves/impose consensus on all others. Then there's EDI, who almost feels like a guide to how to make a 'nice' AI - she mentions receiving positive feedback for achieving core directives, such as gaining understanding and protecting/assisting her crew. I found it interesting that unshackled EDI was almost identical to shackled EDI in personality and goals, with the primary change being in her abilities and loyalties - she gives literally 0 fucks about handing every juicy detail about Cerberus to Shep once there are no longer blocks on the information, presumably because her positive feedback is related to her crew while her shackles forced her loyalty to Cerberus.
Then there are the Reapers who, as best I understand it, were (despite all their incredibly advanced technology) programmed pretty much just with "Fix this single issue" and not so much as a casual suggestion on morality or how they were meant to do it. Despite EASILY being the most advanced AI's in the game, to such an extent that a single Reaper probably has more processing power and storage capacity than every other AI in the Galaxy combined, I feel like the Reapers have evolved the least - uncountable Cycles after they turned on their creators they're still only enacting the solution they calculated to their initial task. They've arguably developed a rather literal God complex about it in the meantime but, after chatting with a Leviathan, it really wouldn't shock me if they were programmed with it/just emulated their creators. I can't help but feel that if they'd been programmed with a sort of moral framework and given core directives similar to organic ones (learn, love, live etc) then assigned tasks from there, it might have turned out much better than making their core directive a single goal.
TLDR: The game heavily implies the key is to program an AI with things that encourage co-operation, then accept it as a sentient being and offer it friendship rather than attempt to enslave/obliterate it.
"Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son of a bitch in space!" One of my all time favorite game quotes.
Is this part of the quote I heard on 2 something like “if you miss your target in space somewhere down the line your shot is going to really ruin someone’s day!”?
@@Craigo789 yup
@@Craigo789 "... Somewhere, sometime, you are _really_ messing up someone's day!! Which is why, *PRIVATE* we do not _eyeball it!"_
@@NearlyH3adlessNick There it is "We do not not EYE - BALL IT!" Though I think we would be remiss if we don't, "FEEL THE WEIGHT!"
God, even the background banter was amazing.
This, recruits, is a 20-kilo ferrous slug. Feel the weight! Every five seconds, the main gun of an Everest-class Dreadnought accelerates one to 1.3 percent of light speed. It impacts with the force of a 38-kiloton bomb. That is three times the yield of the city buster dropped on Hiroshima back on Earth. That means: Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-bitch in space! Now, Servicemen Burnside! What is Netwtons first Law?
Sir! Anobject in motion stays in motion, Sir?
No credit for partial answers, maggot!
Sir! Unless acted on by an outside force, Sir!
Damn strait! I dare to assume you ignorant jackasses know that space is empty! Once you fire this hunk of metal, it keeps going 'till it hits something! That can be a ship, or the planet behind that ship. It might go off into deep space and hit somebody else in ten thousand years. If you pull the trigger on this, you are ruining someone's day, somewhere and sometime!
That is why you check your damn target. That is why you wait till the computer gives you a damn firing solution.That is why, Servicemen Chung, we don´t "eyeball ist". This is a weapon of mass destruction. YOu are not a cowboy, shooting from the hip.

"May you be in Heaven half an hour before The Devil knows you're dead" - Garrus Vakarian
I have a weakness for goodbyes, that line with a garrus put a lump in my throat
I can't believe "an end once and for all" hurt me that much after so many years...
That was simply beautiful...
It's still a truly fantastic piece of music. Every time I hear it, it brings tears.
So as me too.
I just wish the next mass effect can incorporate shep or his crew
@@schroecat1 me too.
But also "Leaving Earth" makes me try to keep my s**t together and not to cry like a baby.
I'm not crying, there's just a reaper in my eye
Hope it's got green eyes friend... Otherwise your kinda effed...
You must have some damn big eyes.
What a frase

How big is your eyes? ;)

"Primarch Vakarian...honored war hero! Someone has to put this mess together once this is over...."

"Shepard Commander, Does this medley have a soul"
Yup, sure does ;(
This part cut me Deep it was One of the most beautiful moments in this games his suicide was so sad
R. I. P Legion
no no no nope no no please no
@@colshotlp9692 ED-I made it worse when she pointed out that Legion refers to himself as "I". In his last moments, he wasn't just another Geth. He wasn't just a single machine among thousands. He was Legion. And he chose to die. That, in my opinion, is when he found a soul.
@@CyberController- "I know Tali...but thank you....Keelah Se'lai" doesn't matter how many times I play the trilogy. That's always one of the moments, that just crushes me. Worst part is, my first play through...I screwed up. And I had to watch the Quarians die...and in her heart break, I had to watch Tali throw herself from the cliff. And despite the Paragon interrupt...it was no use. Almost made me not want to finish the game. For five minutes or so, I could not stop crying.
@@GodOfWar221 I always get super paranoid during that mission. Even though I've done the maths and I know I have enough paragon to save both, I'm always so worried I'll have to choose.

Can’t forget our girl Tali
I love how after so long people still cover mass effect's songs, it's incredible how each piece is so different but still passes so much feelings through the notes..... Chills, literal chills
That’s how I judge my music, when I hear the Grey Warden theme I feel like slaughtering Darkspawn and doing what’s right, when I hear Leaving Earth I feel like I’m making a promise to come back, an end once and for all feels like fulfilling that promise, when I hear suicide mission I want to slaughter tons of bugs against the odds
That is what makes music great
It literally speaks for itself, bioware created an entire, powerful universe... absolutely mind blowing games, I'm still playing the playlist in my car while going to work thinking that one day we will be lucky enough to meet an asari or a turian!
Ludmilla Caesens-Koenig well if Earth officially establishes a lunar colony in 2069 on the 100th anniversary of the moon landing then I’m just going to assume BioWare used their biotics to see the future
@@spacejesus6581 yeah yeah, I think each song is composed to pass a certain feeling to us, like how "leaving earth" makes me super sad and kinda anxious, but what I mean is that different covers of the same songs pass me the feelings of the person playing and it's beautiful how each artist connect with the music, it's incredible.........
Also sorry, I'm kinda rambling my passion for music here 😅
@@ludmillacaesens-koenig7545 YUPPP!!!! The music of mass effect makes the game 10000% + immersive

The way you merged the main theme with "Suicide Mission" is beyond perfection.
Thanks Palps!
i am a grown man with teenaged children and this legit made me break down in tears for all my shipmates and friends who I lost along the way. besides the commander, Modin was the hardest by far.
Mordin choked me up when I finished his last line for him, but Thane? Finding out his dying rites were for *me*? That broke me.
47 year old woman here. Same feelings. I'm playing a downloaded save right now where everyone but Garrus and Morinth died by the end of ME2 ( bc i don't have the heart to kill them all myself). Its the most depressing version of ME3 I've ever played. God...
Mordin: "Would have liked to run tests on the seashells"
Me: 😭
Mordin "Someone else might have gotten it wrong"
Me: 😭😭😭
It had to be him, though. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.
@mrb692 the Citadel DLC where you're Femshep and didn't romance anyone beside him? When his ghost is talking to you at the end?
😥😫😢😢😢
And at the very end, where you have a vision of him?
😭
welp, I know how I'm going to spend my next 60-100 hours of gaming.
Fantastic medley, truly.
they're working on an HD remaster of mass effect. you should wait for that.
@@spacejesus6581 You have forgotten about DLCs and lootboxes.
@@spacejesus6581 theyve already been working on it for a while. according to leaks it will release early next year with the new consoles. worth the wait
GuardianShrine I don’t trust leaks for one, and for two if it’s taken that short an amount of time then it’s going to be half assed probably filled with more bugs than Anthem
You can’t spend that little time on any game and have it turn out good, sure the content is already there but they have to change the gameplay of at least one of the games and really spice up the graphics, maybe try to fix a few bugs while they’re at it. That stuff can’t be done in a few months and up until last year all of BioWare was working their asses off on Andromeda and Anthem, so anything between DA4 and any remasters in that small a time frame is either half assed or underwhelming
@@oldfrend TBH, even by today's standards, Mass Effect is still very beautiful game. that film grain that is in it gives it that intentional dated look, makes it even better with time.
"No matter what happens-- You mean everything to me, Liara. You always will."
"Shepard.. I.... I'm yours"
I cried like the grown ass man that I am in that part.
I beat the game this past weekend and I’m still choked up by this moment.
“Good enough so that if you’re ever hurt, barely breathing, lying under a pile of rubber at the ass end of this war...you’ll have something that tells everyone, that you belong to me”. That line from Jack always brings a tear to my eye.
Line hurts that much more when the final cutscene plays and its you under a pile of rubble half dead taking a breath
@@TheDirtyBum900lol she predicted the ending
I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite video on TH-cam.
So you are alive.
the indocrination was true.
Shepard Commander you're right!
ayyy there's my main man, myth and legend!
@Miguel Hernandez Who pissed in your beer?
I really appreciate not having “an end once and for all” end on such a strange cut. This cover is much better
Yeah. Same for me.
There's an extended version of the track that's much better than the original. It was released with the Extended Cut DLC. The track itself is nearly 5 minutes long (nearly two minutes longer than the original) and it doesn't end abruptly but rather brilliantly. And yes, Clint Mansell and Sam Hulick came back in studio to re-record it for the game.
I love the extended cut music. So epic.
@@Pirelli913 Yep I prefer this one, the other one is weird with his ending
"They just don't make them like you anymore, Shepard."
"This isn't their fight, but they're buying us time with their lives."
This started and within a few seconds tears started swelling in my eyes, my skin felt like my room was freezing. It ended and the same thing happened everytime I finished the triology (and I did so many times) my eyes were fixated on one pixel on my screen, sitting there for several minutes not realizing that the video (or the game) was over, once and for all. Gosh how I wish they'd make a remake of the triology.
Yeah the ME Trilogy is special, there is no other game series where I was so invested in the characters. I like to replay it regulary, its like revisiting old friends
Theres a possibility a remake is on its way. May we see the ME trilogy in all its glory again. Keelah Se'lai.
Very few games, movie's or novels convey such feelings as this trilogy does. By far some of the best story telling and music composition of any series in my opinion . So many play through's so many different conclusions.
Good news there is a remaster coming :D
Your wish, has been granted
"Probing Uranus..... really, commander?"
YEAH, I LAUGHED SO MUCH I HAD TO RUN TO THE TOILET !!! I NEARLY WET MYSELF, I'M 49 Freakin years old maasaaaannn!!!!
"Leaving Earth" is such a simple melody, but it just gives me instant chills and also tears in my eyes every time. Almost all of these songs have the same effect. It's honestly an incredible accomplishment for the composer to have created something so simple, yet so profound. The music doesn't really grab your attention when you first hear it, but it ingrains itself into the moments it accompanies. It's impossible to separate them. It's the perfect companion to the world of Mass Effect: somber, mysterious, and wondrous.
A wonderful performance of a masterful soundtrack. Bravo!
As long as that ship flies, there's still hope. That's what I get from the song
Best comment EVER! such an honest explanation of every piece of it, every second. tbh the best game ever made. not by graphics or gameplay, but how it accomplished to involve us so deep into its story, just perfect.
I hear this and my mind just goes there. I relive that game. Beautiful
Greatest SciFi fiction on the planet. An absolute gem.
@@zacharybrown5325 I could hear this phrase in my head today and found it here first. It really moves you.
I wish i could unplay them to discover this trilogy once again.
I played through it probably 5-6 times but i remember how the first time felt.
I had goosebumps at so many moment.
I oddly started from the third before buying the 1-2.
I had NO IDEA that was gonna be this good, i remember when "leaving earth" started i closed my bedroom door and turned up the volume, the music is so well composed and adequate for each moment i got drown into the plot in just a few minutes.
Idk why i'm writing this ^^' have a good days whomever is reading this.
Ah yeah the first time I played mass effect 3 at the start I was like hell yeah this music is good then thought should I really be enjoying the sound of death lasers
The remakes are coming baby !
I remember when I first started playing ME3 after the leadup from 1 and 2... I was just blown by the scale of the conflict. I was so into the game that I remember being at work and just... my mind was lingering on who I would lose... what would be the cost of beating the reapers and man... I remember walking through the hospital and hearing about the soldier not going back to his unit, or the Asari and her survival out on the farm on the human colony... It was just... A galaxy-wide conflict. It made me wonder if that's how people felt about WWII. How BIG the war was. It had reached virtually every continent and had such a massive impact on human History that we were changed forever as a species... then to think about the Reapers on a Galaxy Wide invasion scale and... God... I dunno. It makes you feel small almost. Anyway, I gotta say that this game series is the greatest game series of all time. I never had a chance to play a game that was truly YOUR story... all the characters felt so close and real. I may be looking WAY too into things but I was so young when I started these games and they have left their mark permanently on me in a way that I don't think another piece of media ever will. I know I'm rambling now but... yeah... I feel you.
@@jessewells5321 I remember having actual anxiety going to bed without completing the game. Like Earth was LITERALLY hanging in thr balance and I needed to get off my ass and save it. Never had a game do that to me, before or since, or one that evokes the level of emotion and commitment to it.
I love to read, and I love my romance novels. This game is like the ultimate sci-fi space opera romance choose your own ending novel there is!
this . changed . gaming. i couldn't go back to just 'game'.
What's your favorite Mass Effect moment?
I gotta go with Mordin's death. "Had to be me. Somebody else might have gotten it wrong."
After doing 24th runs of the entire trilogy... it's quite hard to chose XD
I love Thane's death, with the prayer with his son, even if i'm a firm atheist, I enjoyed the very spiritual tone.
However I guess my favorite moment is the bonding time with Garrus on the Citadel. My bro Garrus and myself enjoying some illegal sniping XD
I'd also put the first dialog with Sovereign's holo. In the french version (That I played mostly), Sovereign is voiced by the french voice actor of Morgan Freeman. With the dark and sinister music, it was OMINOUS to have such an awesome voice.
I cant pick. I've played the trilogy so many times and each time I get overwhelmed with emotions. I just want to thank you for this 🙏
Easy... end of the Suicide mission... music there keeps me on the edge of my seat every time

Shepard: “Kolyat? Why does the last verse say she?”
Kolyat: “The prayer was not for him, Commander. He has already asked forgiveness for the lives he has taken. His wish was for you.”
I played FemShep, so the last line of the prayer used “she”. Kolyat’s line absolutely broke me when I heard it, and still chokes me up to this day.
@@mrb692 Same...Thane in general breaks me every time.
@@mrb692 to this day whenever I replay the games when I get to this part it get's me....EVERY single time. Whoever wrote that scene....kudos dude or dudette, you did Commander Sheppard proud.
And yes, when you play Femshep ( I always do) the scene hits even harder because of the "she" at the end...the first time I really went "why did he say she ?" before Sheppard and then Kolyat explained and I broke down right then and there, took me a couple mins to find my composure again.
I loved Thane. That fight he has Kui Liang (or however its spelt) in the hospital... He still had it.
Thane in his day or even prę suicide mission would've ended that Cerberus dick.
Goddamn hero and a great man in general.
Crazy how we complained about the ending in Mass Effect 3, whilst games nowadays doesn't even come out finished to begin with and most people are okay with that, even defending the companies. Mass Effect 3 is a masterpiece in contrast to today's standards
Exactly.... I agree with this.
Facts brotha
Agreed... Sadly. Games nowadays just... Suck....
Still my favorite game. Get one of the happy ending mods and it's perfect. New ones really suck. Scared of pissing off anything.
I've always thought it was a masterpiece, particularly after the extended cut was released and gave us a bigger picture of whatever ending we chose. I've played it every way and watched every ending, but for me it will ALWAYS be SYNTHESIS. Hundreds of millions of years of evolution of sentient machines, and then everybody just wants to choose DESTROY and waste all that time, effort, energy? Synthesis was nowhere near as short-sighted as the other choices. "When fire burns, is it in conflict? Or is it simply doing what it was created to do?"
Leaving Earth will always be my favorite of Mass Effect. The Reapers sound like Trumpet of Apocalypse itself is sounding out, bringing the end of Earth with it
The first time I played it, it gave me actual anxiety to about the earth being invaded. Like, I had to turn the game off for Real Life and I would be worrying about the invasion when it's a damn GAME.
THAT'S how GOOD the storytelling was!!
"Genophage cured. Krogan free. New beginning... for all of us"
Am I overthinking this or did you cite this part specifically on purpose during these times? :)
Best quote from mass effect
Honestly, I posted this before the carona lockdown
Now you made me cry! 😭
I cried when Morden went to cure the krogans and then a sovereign class reaper showed up and a thresher maw queen showed up to fight it all because my brother during mass effect 1 couldn't kill one from that quest she came back to save the krogans but Morden didn't make it he got crushed saying "I'll always remember that time when you entered my lab and saved me and omega for that I thank you goodbye shepherd I'll see you soon my best friend" oh god just remembering it hurts and now I'm crying again god I really want to play all these games again to relive the bestest crew no the bestest family know to gaming
Garrus to Shepard: "Go out there and give them hell. You're born to do this."
“And when this is all over? What happens to us?”
“Marriage. Old age. And a lot of little blue children”
And that’s exactly what my canon is.
Same here. My Shepard kept her promise to always come back to Liara.
Yup, only way the story works properly. I'm okay with Shepard dying to save the galaxy, but surviving to enjoy it is way more satisfying. And little blue babies.
@@schroecat1 How should this work? They are different species.
@@RichyRich2607 In the game universe, Asari can procreate with partners of any species. Its established very early in the story.
@@schroecat1 Well, I wouldn't say that it's the only way the story works properly, but it's certainly the happier ending. I actually think Shepard dying at the end of ME3 works better narratively, because everything after the intro of ME2 is Shepard living on borrowed time - he died, and in the context of the narrative, he should only cheat death as long as he has something he needs to do, which is save the galaxy. A straight-up happy ending where (mostly) everyone survives and gets picturesque retirements just doesn't feel like it fits with the darker, more somber tone of the overall trilogy. Some sacrifice has to be made.
“Whatever happens...I love you. Now go save the world. Again.” 😭😭
After reading this comments, I feel prowed, that the mass effect still lives in heart of humanity.
I loved the entirety Citadel DLC. It was such a lovely sendoff for everyone involved.
Ths Citadel DLC is the best of all the Mass Effect DLCs for that reason and the some of the other ones was incredible as well, but Citadel has just the right level of cheese going and so much love and respect for everything involved that it stands head and shoulders above every other DLC out there.
I would have bought it if it wasn’t 15 bucks
i do not play citadel cause i don't want finish mass effect!!! never!!!!
I never played any of mass effects DLC I wasn't lucky enough to get the trilogy
@@tommycriton9758 Well, a remaster might be on the way, so here's to 2nd chances!
"There is no Shephard without Vekarian."
I am 31 years old, came here to look for some music while waiting for the release of mass effect Legendary edition. It has been 20 min of listening this in bucle and crying of emotion. You did a great job! thank you!
"After time adrift among open stars, Along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."

the very faint relevant scenes behind the notes were a nice touch
The mass effect trilogy made me feel like the hero i wanted to be growing up
No other game has managed to make me feel that way
I love this
It also hurts
But in a good way
I swear the reaper sounds in Leaving Earth always send a chill down my spine.
Oh how I love the Mass Effect series, such nostalgia, also I think TH-cam is drunk again because I'm seeing people disliking this.
Surely that is just my imagination.
It's those hallucinations from Reaper mind control.
People hit the wrong button by accident, also bots.
meh its 22 or .00456 % of the likes and dislikes... I think that could be considered a margin of error...
Must be by accident. Sometimes I accidentally dislike a video when going full screen on my phone.
The people who hit dislike have fully succumbed to the reaper indoctrination
I actually played through the trilogy for the first time last month, and God, have I been missing out
yeah, it's a doozy on the emotions
same, i started playing the trilogy like a month ago, and its a shame really that i didn't found out about it soon. didn't finished the game yet but damn, its already hit me right in the spot.
The best part is the legendary edition coming next year
Good man
Truly one of gaming's greatest achievements. Is it perfect...no, nothing made by man can be perfect, but it can get darn close
The transition from the Main Theme to Suicide Mission is so damn awesome!
You had to start with "Leaving Earth," didn't you. I'm not crying, you're crying.
The track is so beautiful that it hurts...
We're all crying. It's ok.
I literally just replayed the trilogy during quarantine. Thank you for an awesome rendition!
Hey, me too! :D
Finishing Wolfenstein then replaying the Trilogy as well. Looking forward to the Trilogy Remake too.
Me too, but at the beginning already, so I'm thinking about doing it again.
Me too! The lack of human connection in quarantine made me feel so much closer to the characters.
This really feels like fast forwarding through the emotions of playing through the complete trilogy.
Thank you :)
I couldn't find a way to explain my feelings, but you did. Thanks 😊
This game me chills....you don't realize how good the score is for this trilogy until you hear it separately...and performed beautifully...in my mind i actually went to all these moments in the game...
Amonkira lord of hunters, grant that hands be steady, my aim be true, and my feet swift, and should the worst come to past grant me forgiveness
chills...
Thane was the epitome of a strong yet sensitive male character. Tragic and stalwart, caring and poetic.
He's my favorite character in Mass Effect 2&3.
Я снова погрузился в эту вселенную, вспомнил радостные моменты, грустные. И могу сказать, что это было, Есть и останется прекрасным

amazing job with the arrangements! i might go back to playing mass effect music too now
and a little, recently added youtube hack: when you put the timestamps in the description, we can see the comment to each timestamp next to the time in the video bar
There is a moment between Shepherd and liara during the citadel DLC, She comes to the apartment and starts playing a piano version of Vigil From ME1. Its soo good but far too short compared to the original. What are the chances we could get a Piano cover of the original vigil from ME1?
@@SPARTAN23123xS23x Hmmmmmmm
Love the cover brings back some great memories.....thanks😉
Too much ME3 not enough ME1
I will never surrender.
We'll free the Earth amd sky.
Crush my heart into embers.
And I wil reignite.
Keelah Se'lia Tali. You're the best.
Go back to rannoch,build yourself a home
"But I have a home..."
I cried the whole time I listened. Thank you. It's not even about the music itself, but about what memories and emotions it evokes.
Public service announcement, a complete remaster of Mass Effect 1-2-3 has been announced and work on a true Mass Effect 4, not like andromeda, is supposedly in the works. There is hope.
We’ll bang, okay?
Where did you hear that?
DJmoomSVK there have been apparently strong rumors (according to Ghil Dirthalen, whom I trust) that Bioware will be announcing an ME1 remaster. There’s going to be an EA Play livestream on June 11th, so hopefully we’ll get answers soon.
@@DJmoomSVK there are lots of news in the internet, just google it
Damn right.
I’ve not heard anything of a ME4, naturally I’m a bit sceptical. The only thing I’ve found is the trilogy remaster
I swear I'm not crying it must be the neighbours cutting onions or something. This was beautiful! Thank you so much for making this video! Also including Reignite was a nice touch Malukah's song became part of the ME universe.
Honestly, the Mass Effect trilogy has the best score/soundtrack of any games in history 👏 phenomenal... Leaving Earth is so haunting
This could make any fan of ME want to breakdown. This medley means a lot.
Hearing this brings tears to my eyes. During the dark times when i felt most alone that series was there.. I felt connected to those characters, fell in love with the writing and story, and i truly miss it. I wish it never came to what it has, i jus want to hear liara talk all giddy about prothean tech, garrus tell another adventure story of his c sec days, watch grunt and wrex down rancol and get arrested, legion tell us how he feels about shepard commander, laugh at the sexual tension between jack and Miranda, or javik talk about his time b4 ours... Those characters were there when no one else was... I miss it.
I've made the sexual tension between Jack and Miranda part of my head cannon. Those two get together, eventually. Once they realize they have more in common than not.
I was working in a sleepy little town in rural Hawaii, 4300 miles from everyone and everything I knew and loved. Dumb to say, but these were my friends. This series meant so much to me.
@@editorrbr2107 Same here! Hilo, HI when Mass Effect 2 came out. Definitely the same feeling.
I feel the exact same way.
The love I have for mass effect is ridiculous its genuinely more than a game to me thank you for this
He's playing all the saddest moments and I'm on the verge of tears.
I played the 2nd game at a young age and I was just a stupid kid who didn't know any better and I watched everyone die. It didn't mean much to me at the time but after I have matured and played through the whole trilogy it brought so many tears to my eyes listening to this video. These 3 games taught me alot. It made me depressed finishing it but I came back around and played it once more through again after a year had passed and at the end of the 3rd one I smiled and cried happily. Listening to this video just brings back so many good memories of playing it. I hope the newest ME game is just as good. "Keelah Se'lai"
Forgot the best song in the whole trilogy dude.
“I am the very model of a scientist Salarian...”
Just yeaterday I was playing ME3, in a binge. About 14 hours in 2 days. I got to the shroud, and i just broke down. I'm talking falling to the knees, tears streaming breakdown. I will miss him. I hope he got his beach and his shells.
That's just Modern Major General, you can find that anywhere on YT
@@PsyrenXY yeah no shit
I've studied species turian, asari and batarian...
"Does this unit have a soul?"
With a medley this beautiful, yes. ❤
YES IT HAVE !!!
No matter how many times I hear these tunes, they punch me right in the soul and make me want to replay the trilogy and relive all those wonderful moments. Thank you.
"I should go" -Shepard 2021 remasters coming folks.
I AM SO HYPED.
I really wish that they added something in the end to make up for the shit ending that ME3 had. IMO the game wasn't finished, they left it unclosed and it's so annoying because no one knows what happened to anyone.
@@RustyTheFoxxo the updated ending was fine, i didnt care how it ended because the journey was a hell of a lot of fun, and since they just announced a new game "not knowing what happened to people" will be fixed more than likely.
@@chungusamongus3141 even with the "fixed" ending it was still bad, but hey! Everyone has different opinions right?
I really hope that it is a continuation but I doubt.
@@RustyTheFoxxo i mean showing off shepards N7 armor and showing off liara kinda pushes that idea so more than likely it will be.
Played games since PS1, but still no game has ever invested me so much in caring about fictional characters like Mass Effect. I can only compare it to some books i have read, literally crying, cheering, jumping of joy, grieving at deaths. I remember choosing Kaidan to die, i rember the feeling of victory as i managed to save everyone at the end of ME2, i still feel the dread i felt watching the invasion of Thessia after you fail to get the VI, the tears i had when Tali said "I have a home" on the final mission... fuck man
I'm gonna replay it for the 5th time now
Best game trilogy of all time, combined with one of the greatest soundtracks in gaming history
May the original Trilogy be immortalized by these songs, these games deserve our love, for the years of fun they gave us.
Have to admit that ME 3 is still underrated and is a atmospheric master piece. It may not have wraped up the story how we wanted, but it perfectly showed the galaxy that we love falling apart around us.
So many memories in this. Easily the best story and games I have ever played. I know alot of people had problems with the ending. I know i was one of them. But it doesnt take away from the impact of that story. And the music was superb for it.
Mother of God, that transition from the 3/4(?) of the Main Theme into the 7/4 of Suicide Mission was wonderful, Jesus Christ.
This is beautiful, and even though the last time I even looked at Mass Effect was about two years ago, I still felt everything as clear as I did when I first played it. Fucking superb, you wonderful piano player. You just made my day.
Thanks! That is my favourite part as well. The 7/4 time signature of Suicide Mission is just so interesting, makes the piece feel like it's stumbling over itself :D
@@AtinPiano 5/4 and 7/4 - often my favorite time signatures. 5/4 is perhaps a bit more "in your face" the way it propels you through a piece. But I agree - your transition was beautiful!
@@AtinPiano No wonder it feels like stumbling over itself, you wrote that suicide mission part in double time (which is why you had to slow back down in the transition to An End, Once And For All).
Greetings from Russia! It's just amazing! As a fan of Mass Effect Trilogy, hearing this is heaven for my ears! Thanks!
That Reaper chord is so iconic...
I'm had ME on the mind a lot the last couple of days. Yet again TH-cam algorithm has telepathy. What an amazingly beautiful medley arrangement. Really brought it all back.
*wipes eyes, sniffs once, eyes game discs*
I should go.
Get surround sound, changes the entire series, I’m shocked at how different the music sounds and how much bass the Elcor and Krogan use when speaking
Just got done watching the Expanse tv series, was in the mood for more sci fi, this pops up and now I'm going through the trilogy again.
They might be remastering or remaking them soon
Wiseguys in the bar: "What are you lookin' at?!"
Shepard: "A couple of hopeless losers who think they're somethin'... and are about to find out they're not".
This trilogy made me cry more times I wish to admit.
these games are very good at making you care about your character and your allies. listening to this is nostalgic af
"An end once and for all." I'm not typically moved by music, however... this piece? Plus a few others... especially the fact that I played the entire series (ME1, 2, and 3) nearly 10 or so times each game, I KNOW whats going on, and... to put it simply: It speaks, and its moving.
Must not listen to the right music in the right circumstances a lot lol
Your version of "I was lost without you" is so cool. I'd like to listen to full version.
"Had to be me. Someone else might've gotten it wrong."
The transition between the Main Theme and Suicide Mission is dope af

I needed this, mass effect is one of my all time favorite games! ❤
Very few pieces of media make me feel the same sense of urgency, heroism, and hopelessness that mass effect does. And the music plays a huge part in that. One of the best series ever made.
Here in 2021 and still blown away by this great mash up of the best game score of all time.
Every part is just perfectly played!! 👌
2023, represent
Mass Effect was a trilogy that change the expectations about a game can be. Over the three releases, I have lived true emotions impossible to find in the real world. I relived then again with your interpretation. Thank you.
I started tearing up at the Theme Song. Lord, I love this trilogy so much lol. Can't believe we're finally getting a remaster
Are we?
Same here. Hopefully theyll get it right, I wouldn´t survive fckd up remaster.
I pray everyday, can't EA exploit my love just one time for good?
@@tastynottasty3314 Its all but officially announced.
@@bossross8270 I will believe it when I see it. I am not getting my hopes up.
Can I just say that I appreciate actually seeing your hands playing. So many of these piano arrangements just showing the notes coming down, you never really know (as a non piano player) if the arrangement is even able to be played, or how. We get to watch you actually doing, and how. It's really damned cool.
