If you do Deltarune Chapter 2, I would like to suggest that you do "NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE A" as the song directly before "BIG SHOT", you will not regret it, trust me
Yeah, most of the themes in this game are meant to loop, so they are quite short by design. They loop into themselves rather well, and things move forward fast enough to where they don't feel stale. And while these ones are simple, they introduce or share a lot of leitmotifs that connect to both Undertale and the other chapters of the game. Chapter 2's music just improves on it, so that will be fun when you get to it. But if you want some extra context to each theme without spoiling: The Legend - Introductory cutscene describing the background and lore of the world Beginning - Opening cutscene driving through a comfy town with oddly familiar faces Checker Dance - Goofy, unexpected mini boss battle (these themes were played out of order as this battle is later on in the game) Lancer - One of the main characters you interact with. Plays whenever he shows up and has dialogue, and like the theme implies, he's a bit of a goofball. Rude Buster - Standard enemy battle theme Scarlet Forest - Mid level theme, maze like area with timing based hazards and dancing enemies Vs. Susie - Susie is a main character in the game that tags along with you. She's a big tough girl and like the theme says, you're gonna get hurt if you get in her way You Can Always Come Home - Walking through your home town at the end of the game, meeting even more strangely familiar faces on the way back home Chaos King - Final Boss of Chapter 1 The World is Revolving - Hidden extra boss, with extra difficulty. He can do anything! Field of Hopes and Dreams - One of the early level themes, after you've been introduced to a new mystical world and now begin to explore it. One of, if not the most "complex" and "full" themes in the game for that reason.
Nice choice picking Deltarune. Shame you only did Chapter 1, as Chapter 2 has some absolute bangers and beats Chapter 1 imo. Hope to see a Chapter 2 reaction soon. Also, Checker Dance is the best music in Chapter 1, hands down. It plays in a fight against a checker piece with the sexiest legs imaginable.
@@IlexEmily Cool! Completely understandable, definitely looking forward to your reaction though. Honestly some of the best reactions to this game’s soundtrack I’ve seen.
CONTEXT 0:02 THE LEGEND: music that plays while a character tells the story/legend of the DELTARUNE 2:11 BEGINNING: Peaceful song that plays while heading to school. This is the first time we hear a melody that's used in a lot of future themes. 3:05 CHECKER DANCE: Fighting a checker piece on a checker board 4:28 LANCER: he's just a silly little guy 5:21 RUDE BUSTER: General battle theme 6:41 SCARLET FOREST: Overworld theme while exploring a neat little forest area 9:02 VS SUSIE: She's a mean girl that eats chalk. 10:30 YOU CAN ALWAYS COME HOME: Theme of home. Sounds a bit familiar. Very soothing. Very peaceful. Why am I crying? 12:20 CHAOS KING: Vs the final boss of chapter 1. He's a big boy. 14:19 THE WORLD REVOLVING: Vs. Secret boss of chapter 1. The secret bosses seem like sort of major to the plot and certain recurring themes can be heard of you listen carefully. "CHAOS CHAOS" "I CAN DO ANYTHING" 16:10 FIELD OF HOPES AND DREAMS: The first main overworld theme. Basically the "tutorial is over, time to play the game" theme.
It is funny to hear you say that deltarune is so musicaly different from undertale when the song you're hearing is literally an undertale song a little bit remixed(you can always come home is a remix of home from undertale)
@@BootyRealDreamMurMurs yes i know,its just funny to hear her say it is very different when this an undertale remix,i know that deltarune ost is completely new

2:54 This music box section here is directly from Undertale. 10:37 This is a variation of the Undertale song called "Home" but with the added Deltarune theme. I think you should've gotten the chance to listen to "Don't Forget". It's less than a minute long and it's THE main theme of the entire game so it's incredibly important. A shame that it didn't make it in here.
Most of the songs are insanely short because they were designed to loop themselves really well, which is why they sometimes just cut off for seemingly no reason also entirely fair assessment to be entirely confused (mixed emotions in the title)
I never noticed it before, but I love how the music box sound is actually playing the Hopes and Dreams motif from Undertale (2:49 in this video). Also a bit of context: - Rude Buster is the main battle theme for Deltarune. - Susie is a party member, but is pretty… rebellious in the first chapter. It takes a while before they listen to the rest of the party’s directions, and the Vs. Susie track plays when they temporarily turn on the party, making a boss fight. - Chaos King is the final boss track, and if it sounds familiar, the boss is Lancer’s father, and Lancer’s theme comes in. - The World Revolving plays during a fight against Jevil, a secret boss. Both Chapter 1 and 2 of Deltarune have had a lovable secret boss with a banger theme, so it’s kind of a trend at this point.
Surely you mean one of Lancer's dads? He also has his lesser dad and his girldad. ...I swear that kid collects dads the way most kids collect pokemon cards and I _really_ hope that trend continues.
@@TheMasterd333 I know what you mean, but I feel like a lot more people will instantly remember the epic theme of the true ending final boss than the 8-bit track with no more than two notes at once, that’s playing while they are wondering if this game is really worth the hype around it. (Nothing against that track though - it still fits perfectly for its role.)
gonna list leitmotifs because I’m a nerd for that stuff When it comes to the Deltarune Leitmotifs I’m only listing ones that also appeared in the video, as well as Don’t Forget, because its the main leitmotif for Deltarune. Ones with Once Upon a Time will have a number indicating which part of the song it’s a leitmotif of, that being 1 or 3 Beginning has Don’t Forget(DR) 2:17 - 2:48 Once Upon a Time(UT) 2:49 - 3:03 (3) Rudebuster has Determination(UT) 5:49 - 6:03 Don’t Forget(DR) 6:30 - 6:36 Scarlet Forest has Don’t Forget(DR) 8:34 - 8:50 Vs.

Chapter 2 has some bangers but going back to chapter 1 reminds me how amazing Toby Fox is at using leitmotifs and creating so many different moods in his music. Can’t wait for chapter 2’s reaction! If you want another good indie game to react to I recommend Celeste or maybe OneShot. OneShot feels more spacey but has some great tracks like ‘On Little Cat Feet’ or ‘Eleventh Hour’. Love the reactions, also congrats on 6k!
Since deltarune isn't completed yet these songs feel like they haven't reached the full level of meaning. I have a feeling the legend motif is probably going to appear a few more times throughout the story
I'm so excited for a moment like this. Even with these two chapters I love how Toby Fox has uses the motifs. If I get to the end of Chapter 7 and hear a new version of The Legend play like right before the boss I'm gonna pop off lol
exactly, getting attached to these themes and story already and having time to let it all soak in and marinate, knowing he'll iterate on the ideas in more deservedly epic ways down the road in grand climaxes that will result in me appreciating tracks I already love to death even more... I know I'm in for a once in a lifetime treat.
@@charicole105THIS!!! i saw marcomeatball (i think) say that her theme felt "restrained" or "held back" (since she wasn't fighting with pure intention to kill lancer) and i REALLY wanna hear her theme when she goes all-out.
I haven't ever really considered that, but yeah! Now that I look back on it, a lot of the general themes(/themes of consistent main characters) feel like they haven't quite been fully realized yet That hypes me up for the rest even more
Field of Hopes and Dreams has always been my favourite from Chapter 1. There's a couple tracks in Chapter 2 that top it, but it's still in third place. I love hearing people enjoying Toby's music. He's my biggest inspiration as a composer and game developer. Great reaction.
Most video game music are short because they're made to loop. They will play on repeat forever in the game until you progress to something different like another level/area or a cut scene.
So many of these songs are so short and end so abruptly because Toby wanted them to be easily loopable. Hearing them in game is a whole different experience.
With the exception of Megalovania, all of the songs she listened to were the album release which don't loop at all. I kinda think all the songs are about the same length, with a few exceptions.
Songs in Deltarune actually trend the same length or longer than Undertale in a lot of cases, last time you just listened to a lot of final boss themes while this time you listened to a lot of regular themes 😅
A lot of the Undertale themes are actually equally as short! The sample of themes you listened to included many of the longer ones, but a lot don't even reach a full minute I remember being super shocked when I first looked up the ost, bc they loop so naturally and pack so much punch that I hadn't even realized how short they were
After Deltarune, I would love to see Terraria Calamity's OST. Its creation is fascinating, considering a vast majority of the songs were made by one person - however every track has a lot of personality that you can recognize without any context. If you do decide to check it out, prepare yourself for anything, causs that is basically what you'd get.
Can’t wait for chapter 2! Always love these reactions so much because it’s exactly how I would react to these blindly. I would really recommend listening to OMORI. Its like A mix of Undertale and Hollow Knight in its wide variety of music. Some stuff I’d recommend is the Title Screen, Spaces in Between, By Your Side, A Home for flowers (tulip), It Means Everything, See You Tomorrow, Worlds End Valentine, Underwater Prom Queens, OMORI, Duet. I would put in My Time but it’s copyright 😭 anyways all of the tracks are really great so take your time with Chapter 2! :D
I LOVE seeing people just getting into Undertale and Deltarune. It always makes me happy seeing people having such positive reactions to the music as well. If you ever decide to play either of the games, I hope you enjoy them!
I absolutely love the songs by Toby Fox, easily Undertale and Deltarune are either my absolute favorite or in the very highest tier of ost's out there imo, and Deltarune isn't even fully released! But these songs are mostly short because, like the Undertale songs, they are designed to repeat, so they feel much more natural leading from the end to the beginning again seamlessly. Please do Ch2 soon though!
Darkness Falls is probably the most underrated track in Chapter 1. Not even surprised it didn't make it it, but you should _definitely_ give it a listen regardless
Ah the Deltarune OST, the definition of short and addictively sweet. Fortunately to counteract the shortness, we have invented revolutionary new technology called "1 Hour Extensions".
I wasn’t expecting only Chapter 1, and the themes here are Chapter 1’s best. (though if you do a part 2 you might want to listen to “Rouxls Kaard” off camera for context of the “It’s Pronounced Rules” track) Vs Susie goes insanely hard. Susie is a violent tormentor at the start, and this is the point where she feels her best friend (Lancer) betrayed her, so she lashes out all her rage on him. The Legend is exactly what the title is. It’s the legend of the Deltarune world. Checker Dance is the boss theme for the mid-boss of Chapter 1- K. Round. He’s a checker who got crowned. Lancer is Susie’s best friend, and the son of the Chaos King. This is his theme. Scarlet Forest is the theme for the second overworld area, also called as such. Beginning is the theme for the start of the game (not really, the track titled “Another HIM” is the beginning of the game) The World Revolving is the theme of a clown, a jester, Jevil. He likes to say “Chaos Chaos”, and “I Can Do Anything!” You Can Always Come Home is the main character’s house theme. Chaos King is the first final boss’ theme. He’s Lancer’s father. Field of Hopes and Dreams is the first overworld area, and a banger of a track.
I could be mistaken here, but I think you managed to dodge Undertale's main motif in your Undertale OST reaction video! Which is interesting. There are some songs in the Deltarune OST that pay homage to Undertale's motifs. Guess it's something to look forward to in another Undertale OST reaction, huh? Not that I'm going to assume we'll be getting those of course.
So, since you asked for context: - The Legend is a cool sequence when a character explains the lore of what's going on in the game - Beginning is a scene earlier in the game where you're introduced to the setting - Checker Dance is a boss theme - Lancer is indeed a character's leitmotif - Rude Buster is the main battle theme - Scarlet Forest is a location theme - VS Suzie is a boss fight - You Can Always Come Home is the theme that plays in the main character's house - Chaos King is the theme of the final boss of Chapter 1 - The World Revolving is the theme of Chapter 1's superboss (basically Chapter 1's Megalovania) - Field of Hopes and Dreams is a location theme
When the light is running low And you have no place to go And the places that you know feel like Fantasy~ There's a light inside your soul That's still shining in the cold With a truth A promise in your Heart♡ Don't forget We're with you in the Dark~
if you're doing chap 2, I'd suggest that you listen to NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE and then BIG SHOT right after it just for the effect anyway, love the vid, just as I loved the UT one and area zero analysis, keep it up!
The themes are meant to loop, the only reason they are apparently short it's because they stop in their looping point, you can just listen to them twice or play the game.
I’ve seen your reaction to Mario Galaxy’s ost and I definitely recommend checking out Paper Mario Color Splash’s ost. Specifically these themes: Ruddy Road, Cherry Lake, Sunglow Ridge, Juggling Bros, Emerald Circus, Rumble with Wendy, and the World Map Medley.
Y'know, you talk about how different Deltarune's OST is, I feel like a design goal for it was to feel like it was moving on to a "different console era" almost. That's why the 8-bit stuff has disappeared and been replaced by something you'd rather hear in the PS1 / N64 era.
Honestly it’s weird but nice going back to Chapter 1 after so long, after chapter 2 you mostly forget how many bangers this chapter had. Still, can’t wait to see your reactions to Chapter 2. If I had to recommend a game other than chapter 2 though, I’d say Shovel Knight. It has one of the best osts in any indie game in my opinion, and I feel like you would love it.
Rude Buster is SUCH an improvement over Enemy Approaching, and the fuality if Susie and Vs. Susie is striking. Gave me a big Hedgehog's Dilemma vibe. And that lonely piano piece if you say no.... ouch. CH2 has even BETTER SONGS 15:42 Every segment of the theme plays twice, which is part of the dpeech pattern of the character, except this last part, the Main Theme, which plays thrice
2:40 „This is already so different to undertale, maybe the next song will be more like it“ she says, moments before an undertale melody plays in the same track, only to say „that‘s cute“ I dunno, just felt kinda ironic to me LOL
If you want more context for deltarune's world: (no major spoliers) it takes place in a similiar universe and has some returning characters but they are no longer as important to the plot. The biggest difference is that the focus of the story is completly different and there are lots of new characters to meet and worlds to explore. As you noticed the game is cut into chapters, each one has a new place to explore and strenghtens the bonds between different characters. Currently 2/7 are out and take several hours to complete plus each contains several important secrets 😁 Remember that just like in Undertale, leitmotifs are very important and tell you more about the characters, places or events. There are a few motifs returning from undertale but deltarune also obviously has its own, in the form of the song "don't forget" (you need to check it out too! 👍). Also, some songs will probably get a wider meaning or more remixes in the future, due to the game still being pretty far from complete To me, chapter 1 seems a little bland and very short now that we have chapter 2 but it's still an extremally memorable experience. It's a really interesting twist on the previous game and does a good job showing you what deltarune has to offer. I'm very excited for deltarune's future ❤
Y'know I initially saw you and was like, "Oh another reactor... cool I guess" and now, especially after You Can Always Come Home... you haven't played and yet... you understand and that hurts me... in a good way. Toby's OST's will ALWAYS make me cry especially after LIVING through the games. I can't wait to see you play through them... even if you don't post it, play it with an open mind and open heart.
2:40 this is when u get to school with mom :3 toriel :S XD ITS THE CONTEXT .. U HAVE TO LOOK THE GAMEPLAY with the music belive me :c xDD. Or play it 1&2 is free :3
Perhaps when you react to the Ch. 2 sound track, have your members get you an image or video of what is happening when the song plays, even a description with or without spoilers along with it. I think that would help with the confusion and understanding problem. The themes are ment to loop, so they end fast so they can start again in game.
I'm surprised no one suggested or enough people didn't vote for you to listen to Don't Forget. Though if you plan to play the game, it would make sense to leave it a surprise
Also it's really funny how you immediately started bouncing to The World Revolving considering the fact that Jevil, the boss the theme belongs to, is constantly jumping and bouncing around during the fight.
the reason its so short is simply because its the whole song. in the game, you dont hear the song and then silence. it loops back to the beginning. as of why toby fox decided to post it without it looping is beyond me. thankfully there are other fans of his music to do that for him.
16:48 this is really sad i know but is a game that if u play u can understand :3 i really suggest u to play undertale and deltarune :3 u wont regret it
Deltarune chapter 1 is my personal favourite selection I like legend, empty town, fields of hopes and dreams, lantern and scarlet forest. From chapter 2 my castle town. By far the best theme from chapter 2 its awesome. I also quite like girl next door and attack of the killer queen and pandora palace. But not as much as my favourites from the other games. My favourite undertale songs are core and another medium. I also like waterful, snowdin town, asgore and stonger monsters.
The length of the themes is a sort of taste; it gives a reasonable confusion but when you listen to "extended versions" of those, usually you have just enough time to get the hang of the emotions. By looped themes of old-school but new looking it is always a thing. Besides, it's always nice to hum a melody which I've been doing since I was four ;D no advertisements, I am your subscriber since undertale post, which is why I wonder what you think of these kinds of melodies like "Stormy Night" which i've posted on main channel page to not to make anyone be looking for that? It has a bit of reverb to it, and yet, no percussion. Again, no ad/pressure/demand, just asking on your opinion! ^^ cheers
I think I'd kill for you to react to the music from the Professor Layton series. Six (soon to be seven holy sh*t it's been 12 years I still can't believe it's real) games, all with sublime music.
A minor gripe I have when watching people react to Undertale's and Deltarune's OSTs, is that Toby Fox loves using leitmotifs, referencing songs in other songs, and I never see the people watching point it out. This habit of his has been often been used as a way to find connections between the subjects of each song, and are often even used as evidence in theories. An example in this video: the first melody of Lancer can very clearly be heard in Chaos King, but a bit faster, after the first part. There are many, MANY more examples, in particular, a song in Deltarune, called Don't Forget, is referenced CONSTANTLY in both chapter 1 and 2.
I think it would be interesting for you to listen to the song Don't forget, it is pretty short, it has actual singing, and it gives a lot of context for other music choices.
This person you mentioned who has You Can Always Come Home as their favorite definitly played Undertale and it's their favorite because it triggers nostalgia in them. Well that's my guess at least ^^'
Really looking forward to your reactions to chapter 2! 💜 Field of hopes and dreams is far my favourite of chapter 1 and I think you'll really like what chapter 2 has in store!
I'm sure it's been mentioned, but the reason the themes are so short is because most of them are made to loop back to the beginning and play again. "Chaos! Chaos!" Then plays 'The World Revolving'. Nice.
UAHAHAHA MUSICIANS, MUSICIANS YOU HAVE VISITED THIS GAME MUSIC TO RATE IT AND IT GAVE IT A VERY GOOD RATE NOW WE CAN PLAY, PLAY! UAHAHA *insert the world revolving and jevil dance*
Love delta rune ost but now that I've sat down and really heard them You can always come home reminds me of traverse from kingdom hearts and scarlet forest reminds me of Alice and wounder land from kingdom hearts mostly comes down to the feel of the song and Instrument choice rather than them being Similar
2:22 "I have to leave you guys wanting more"
I mean, at least she's honest
Hey, gotta play the algorithm game somehow! 😂

The reason why they’re short is because they were made to be looped in game.
They are short but have big personalities
@@blackman5867 yes, they are embiggened by the quality and context.
Yeah, most of the themes in this game are meant to loop, so they are quite short by design. They loop into themselves rather well, and things move forward fast enough to where they don't feel stale. And while these ones are simple, they introduce or share a lot of leitmotifs that connect to both Undertale and the other chapters of the game.

But if you want some extra context to each theme without spoiling:
The Legend - Introductory cutscene describing the background and lore of the world
Beginning - Opening cutscene driving through a comfy town with oddly familiar faces
Checker Dance - Goofy, unexpected mini boss battle (these themes were played out of order as this battle is later on in the game)
Lancer - One of the main characters you interact with. Plays whenever he shows up and has dialogue, and like the theme implies, he's a bit of a goofball.
Rude Buster - Standard enemy battle theme
Scarlet Forest - Mid level theme, maze like area with timing based hazards and dancing enemies
Vs. Susie - Susie is a main character in the game that tags along with you. She's a big tough girl and like the theme says, you're gonna get hurt if you get in her way
You Can Always Come Home - Walking through your home town at the end of the game, meeting even more strangely familiar faces on the way back home
Chaos King - Final Boss of Chapter 1
The World is Revolving - Hidden extra boss, with extra difficulty. He can do anything!
Field of Hopes and Dreams - One of the early level themes, after you've been introduced to a new mystical world and now begin to explore it. One of, if not the most "complex" and "full" themes in the game for that reason.
Field isn’t a “level” it’s the first overworld area (technically the second but we don’t count sixmarks)
Thanks for writing this in my stead, cause I wouldn't have done such a good job
"You can always come home" doesn't play in the town, it play inside Kris's house

"Don't Forget" is to Deltarune as "Undertale" is to Undertale.
Most of the songs are insanely short because they were designed to loop themselves really well, which is why they sometimes just cut off for seemingly no reason
also entirely fair assessment to be entirely confused (mixed emotions in the title)
Toby Fox said you will hear woodwinds and guitars and feel emotions and we're all like "Yes, Sir. Right away, Sir!"
I never noticed it before, but I love how the music box sound is actually playing the Hopes and Dreams motif from Undertale (2:49 in this video).
Also a bit of context:
- Rude Buster is the main battle theme for Deltarune.
- Susie is a party member, but is pretty… rebellious in the first chapter. It takes a while before they listen to the rest of the party’s directions, and the Vs. Susie track plays when they temporarily turn on the party, making a boss fight.
- Chaos King is the final boss track, and if it sounds familiar, the boss is Lancer’s father, and Lancer’s theme comes in.
- The World Revolving plays during a fight against Jevil, a secret boss. Both Chapter 1 and 2 of Deltarune have had a lovable secret boss with a banger theme, so it’s kind of a trend at this point.
Surely you mean one of Lancer's dads? He also has his lesser dad and his girldad.
...I swear that kid collects dads the way most kids collect pokemon cards and I _really_ hope that trend continues.
It's not just the Hopes and Dreams motif, it's the motif from the very intro of the game that then gets used in like half of the game's tracks lol
@@TheMasterd333 I know what you mean, but I feel like a lot more people will instantly remember the epic theme of the true ending final boss than the 8-bit track with no more than two notes at once, that’s playing while they are wondering if this game is really worth the hype around it. (Nothing against that track though - it still fits perfectly for its role.)
Vs Susie isn’t where you fight Susie, it’s when you fight Lancer as Susie.
@@inhalerisinsane oh yeah, you never fight Susie on their own, do you? I forgot that Susie and Lancer where teamed up for that fight
gonna list leitmotifs because I’m a nerd for that stuff
When it comes to the Deltarune Leitmotifs I’m only listing ones that also appeared in the video, as well as Don’t Forget, because its the main leitmotif for Deltarune.

Beginning has
Don’t Forget(DR) 2:17 - 2:48
Once Upon a Time(UT) 2:49 - 3:03 (3)

Field of Hopes and Dreams has
Don’t forget(DR) 17:04 - 17:46
Chapter 2 has some bangers but going back to chapter 1 reminds me how amazing Toby Fox is at using leitmotifs and creating so many different moods in his music. Can’t wait for chapter 2’s reaction!
If you want another good indie game to react to I recommend Celeste or maybe OneShot. OneShot feels more spacey but has some great tracks like ‘On Little Cat Feet’ or ‘Eleventh Hour’.
Love the reactions, also congrats on 6k!
I was the exact same listening to these themes - like they’re so good! But also so short!
Hello!
Since deltarune isn't completed yet these songs feel like they haven't reached the full level of meaning.
I have a feeling the legend motif is probably going to appear a few more times throughout the story
I'm so excited for a moment like this. Even with these two chapters I love how Toby Fox has uses the motifs. If I get to the end of Chapter 7 and hear a new version of The Legend play like right before the boss I'm gonna pop off lol
I need an extended version of Vs. Susie. Easily in my top 5 Toby Fox songs
exactly, getting attached to these themes and story already and having time to let it all soak in and marinate, knowing he'll iterate on the ideas in more deservedly epic ways down the road in grand climaxes that will result in me appreciating tracks I already love to death even more... I know I'm in for a once in a lifetime treat.
@@charicole105THIS!!! i saw marcomeatball (i think) say that her theme felt "restrained" or "held back" (since she wasn't fighting with pure intention to kill lancer) and i REALLY wanna hear her theme when she goes all-out.
I haven't ever really considered that, but yeah! Now that I look back on it, a lot of the general themes(/themes of consistent main characters) feel like they haven't quite been fully realized yet
That hypes me up for the rest even more
Field of Hopes and Dreams has always been my favourite from Chapter 1.
There's a couple tracks in Chapter 2 that top it, but it's still in third place.
I love hearing people enjoying Toby's music. He's my biggest inspiration as a composer and game developer.
Great reaction.
Most video game music are short because they're made to loop. They will play on repeat forever in the game until you progress to something different like another level/area or a cut scene.
So many of these songs are so short and end so abruptly because Toby wanted them to be easily loopable. Hearing them in game is a whole different experience.
14:03
Me knowing that the next boss constantly mentions chaos: :)
Can't wait for chapter 2! It has some amazing songs. Also, the reason the themes end so abruptly is because they're supposed to be loopable.
I think the reason they seem so short compared to undertale is because most uploads of undertale songs loop at least once, I could be wrong though
With the exception of Megalovania, all of the songs she listened to were the album release which don't loop at all.
I kinda think all the songs are about the same length, with a few exceptions.
Songs in Deltarune actually trend the same length or longer than Undertale in a lot of cases, last time you just listened to a lot of final boss themes while this time you listened to a lot of regular themes 😅
Continue to love your distinct style of reacting to soundtracks you've never heard before.
Looking forward to seeing your reaction to Chapter 2.
A lot of the Undertale themes are actually equally as short! The sample of themes you listened to included many of the longer ones, but a lot don't even reach a full minute
I remember being super shocked when I first looked up the ost, bc they loop so naturally and pack so much punch that I hadn't even realized how short they were
What I love most about Toby's music is how he reuses motifs from other songs that are relevant to the character and it works out so well.
After Deltarune, I would love to see Terraria Calamity's OST. Its creation is fascinating, considering a vast majority of the songs were made by one person - however every track has a lot of personality that you can recognize without any context.
If you do decide to check it out, prepare yourself for anything, causs that is basically what you'd get.
Oh my goodness-- if she actually did that I would be in endless joy. Now I can't wait to hear her reaction to Return To Slime
Can’t wait for chapter 2! Always love these reactions so much because it’s exactly how I would react to these blindly.
I would really recommend listening to OMORI. Its like A mix of Undertale and Hollow Knight in its wide variety of music. Some stuff I’d recommend is the Title Screen, Spaces in Between, By Your Side, A Home for flowers (tulip), It Means Everything, See You Tomorrow, Worlds End Valentine, Underwater Prom Queens, OMORI, Duet. I would put in My Time but it’s copyright 😭 anyways all of the tracks are really great so take your time with Chapter 2! :D
I LOVE seeing people just getting into Undertale and Deltarune. It always makes me happy seeing people having such positive reactions to the music as well. If you ever decide to play either of the games, I hope you enjoy them!
"A tale of HOPES
A tale of DREAMS
A tale of DARKNESS
A tale of LIGHT
This is
DELTA RUNE"
I absolutely love the songs by Toby Fox, easily Undertale and Deltarune are either my absolute favorite or in the very highest tier of ost's out there imo, and Deltarune isn't even fully released! But these songs are mostly short because, like the Undertale songs, they are designed to repeat, so they feel much more natural leading from the end to the beginning again seamlessly. Please do Ch2 soon though!
Darkness Falls is probably the most underrated track in Chapter 1. Not even surprised it didn't make it it, but you should _definitely_ give it a listen regardless
Rude buster
@@maniwishihadthelongestname7641 That one's a bop
Looking at the video though, she did listen to that one
Ah the Deltarune OST, the definition of short and addictively sweet.
Fortunately to counteract the shortness, we have invented revolutionary new technology called "1 Hour Extensions".
6:42 - Scarlet Forest, my beloved!
❤
We absolutely need a Play through of Undertale it's emotional rollercoaster
I wasn’t expecting only Chapter 1, and the themes here are Chapter 1’s best. (though if you do a part 2 you might want to listen to “Rouxls Kaard” off camera for context of the “It’s Pronounced Rules” track)
Vs Susie goes insanely hard. Susie is a violent tormentor at the start, and this is the point where she feels her best friend (Lancer) betrayed her, so she lashes out all her rage on him.
The Legend is exactly what the title is. It’s the legend of the Deltarune world.
Checker Dance is the boss theme for the mid-boss of Chapter 1- K. Round. He’s a checker who got crowned.
Lancer is Susie’s best friend, and the son of the Chaos King. This is his theme.
Scarlet Forest is the theme for the second overworld area, also called as such.
Beginning is the theme for the start of the game (not really, the track titled “Another HIM” is the beginning of the game)
The World Revolving is the theme of a clown, a jester, Jevil. He likes to say “Chaos Chaos”, and “I Can Do Anything!”
You Can Always Come Home is the main character’s house theme.
Chaos King is the first final boss’ theme. He’s Lancer’s father.
Field of Hopes and Dreams is the first overworld area, and a banger of a track.
5:57 There’s a theme literally called beginning, but besides that yeah you’re right
11:36 see the music is so happy .. is the story :s that could make u cry :c
"You Can Always Come Home" is a remix of "Home" from Undertale
Fields of Hopes and Dreams has been my alarm tone for the past couple of years now.
I could be mistaken here, but I think you managed to dodge Undertale's main motif in your Undertale OST reaction video! Which is interesting.
There are some songs in the Deltarune OST that pay homage to Undertale's motifs.
Guess it's something to look forward to in another Undertale OST reaction, huh? Not that I'm going to assume we'll be getting those of course.
So, since you asked for context:
- The Legend is a cool sequence when a character explains the lore of what's going on in the game
- Beginning is a scene earlier in the game where you're introduced to the setting
- Checker Dance is a boss theme
- Lancer is indeed a character's leitmotif
- Rude Buster is the main battle theme
- Scarlet Forest is a location theme
- VS Suzie is a boss fight
- You Can Always Come Home is the theme that plays in the main character's house
- Chaos King is the theme of the final boss of Chapter 1
- The World Revolving is the theme of Chapter 1's superboss (basically Chapter 1's Megalovania)
- Field of Hopes and Dreams is a location theme
When the light is running low
And you have no place to go
And the places that you know feel like
Fantasy~
There's a light inside your soul
That's still shining in the cold
With a truth
A promise in your
Heart♡
Don't forget
We're with you in the
Dark~
Too bad that Don't Forget didn't make it in the video...
no.
if you're doing chap 2, I'd suggest that you listen to NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE and then BIG SHOT right after it just for the effect
anyway, love the vid, just as I loved the UT one and area zero analysis, keep it up!
* Having yet another excuse to listen to the Deltarune OST...
* It fills you with DETERMINATION.
* Not that there's need for an excuse anyway.
The themes are meant to loop, the only reason they are apparently short it's because they stop in their looping point, you can just listen to them twice or play the game.
13:12that music is not just music is the ultimage ultimate good energy that brings light in the dark thats .. soo .. painfull and op :3
I’ve seen your reaction to Mario Galaxy’s ost and I definitely recommend checking out Paper Mario Color Splash’s ost. Specifically these themes: Ruddy Road, Cherry Lake, Sunglow Ridge, Juggling Bros, Emerald Circus, Rumble with Wendy, and the World Map Medley.
Y'know, you talk about how different Deltarune's OST is, I feel like a design goal for it was to feel like it was moving on to a "different console era" almost. That's why the 8-bit stuff has disappeared and been replaced by something you'd rather hear in the PS1 / N64 era.
Honestly it’s weird but nice going back to Chapter 1 after so long, after chapter 2 you mostly forget how many bangers this chapter had. Still, can’t wait to see your reactions to Chapter 2.
If I had to recommend a game other than chapter 2 though, I’d say Shovel Knight. It has one of the best osts in any indie game in my opinion, and I feel like you would love it.
HOW DID YOU KNOW THE WORLD REVOLVING I WAS HOPING THIS VIDEO CONTAINED AND THEN FIELD OF HOPES AND DREAMS
Rude Buster is SUCH an improvement over Enemy Approaching, and the fuality if Susie and Vs. Susie is striking. Gave me a big Hedgehog's Dilemma vibe. And that lonely piano piece if you say no.... ouch. CH2 has even BETTER SONGS
15:42 Every segment of the theme plays twice, which is part of the dpeech pattern of the character, except this last part, the Main Theme, which plays thrice
2:40 „This is already so different to undertale, maybe the next song will be more like it“ she says, moments before an undertale melody plays in the same track, only to say „that‘s cute“
I dunno, just felt kinda ironic to me LOL
I would love to see you do chapter 2, Big shot, A cyber’s world, and Attack of the killer Queen are absolute bangers
If you want more context for deltarune's world: (no major spoliers) it takes place in a similiar universe and has some returning characters but they are no longer as important to the plot. The biggest difference is that the focus of the story is completly different and there are lots of new characters to meet and worlds to explore. As you noticed the game is cut into chapters, each one has a new place to explore and strenghtens the bonds between different characters. Currently 2/7 are out and take several hours to complete plus each contains several important secrets 😁
Remember that just like in Undertale, leitmotifs are very important and tell you more about the characters, places or events. There are a few motifs returning from undertale but deltarune also obviously has its own, in the form of the song "don't forget" (you need to check it out too! 👍). Also, some songs will probably get a wider meaning or more remixes in the future, due to the game still being pretty far from complete
To me, chapter 1 seems a little bland and very short now that we have chapter 2 but it's still an extremally memorable experience. It's a really interesting twist on the previous game and does a good job showing you what deltarune has to offer. I'm very excited for deltarune's future ❤
15:00 she said this is so fun-.. Also me- who sat playing the damned game fighting him for 3 days XD
Y'know I initially saw you and was like, "Oh another reactor... cool I guess" and now, especially after You Can Always Come Home... you haven't played and yet... you understand and that hurts me... in a good way. Toby's OST's will ALWAYS make me cry especially after LIVING through the games. I can't wait to see you play through them... even if you don't post it, play it with an open mind and open heart.
2:40 this is when u get to school with mom :3 toriel :S XD ITS THE CONTEXT .. U HAVE TO LOOK THE GAMEPLAY with the music belive me :c xDD. Or play it 1&2 is free :3
Perhaps when you react to the Ch. 2 sound track, have your members get you an image or video of what is happening when the song plays, even a description with or without spoilers along with it. I think that would help with the confusion and understanding problem. The themes are ment to loop, so they end fast so they can start again in game.
Emily at "Chaos King": This is chaos
"The World Revolving": Am I a joke to you
I'm surprised no one suggested or enough people didn't vote for you to listen to Don't Forget. Though if you plan to play the game, it would make sense to leave it a surprise
Field of Hopes and Dreams is so good, idk how much appreciation it gets, but it needs more
Field of Hopes and Dreams and Scarlet Forest are so good! Wonderful video!
If you want them longer just right click and loop the video, or there’s versions uploaded that are already looped
5:36 this is the battle theme is Genius :£3 £ lira italian value still on keyboards aftere 10 y there is € e alt .. xD
Also it's really funny how you immediately started bouncing to The World Revolving considering the fact that Jevil, the boss the theme belongs to, is constantly jumping and bouncing around during the fight.
the reason its so short is simply because its the whole song. in the game, you dont hear the song and then silence. it loops back to the beginning. as of why toby fox decided to post it without it looping is beyond me. thankfully there are other fans of his music to do that for him.
16:48 this is really sad i know but is a game that if u play u can understand :3 i really suggest u to play undertale and deltarune :3 u wont regret it
Deltarune chapter 1 is my personal favourite selection
I like legend, empty town, fields of hopes and dreams, lantern and scarlet forest.
From chapter 2 my castle town. By far the best theme from chapter 2 its awesome. I also quite like girl next door and attack of the killer queen and pandora palace.
But not as much as my favourites from the other games.
My favourite undertale songs are core and another medium.
I also like waterful, snowdin town, asgore and stonger monsters.
I was waiting for "Don't Forget" to appear, too bad it didn't, I remember that this was one of the ones that surprised me the most
The length of the themes is a sort of taste; it gives a reasonable confusion but when you listen to "extended versions" of those, usually you have just enough time to get the hang of the emotions. By looped themes of old-school but new looking it is always a thing. Besides, it's always nice to hum a melody which I've been doing since I was four ;D
no advertisements, I am your subscriber since undertale post, which is why I wonder what you think of these kinds of melodies like "Stormy Night" which i've posted on main channel page to not to make anyone be looking for that?
It has a bit of reverb to it, and yet, no percussion. Again, no ad/pressure/demand, just asking on your opinion! ^^ cheers
They're playing in the game in a loop...
It's music in the background to add to the themes of the game
I think I'd kill for you to react to the music from the Professor Layton series. Six (soon to be seven holy sh*t it's been 12 years I still can't believe it's real) games, all with sublime music.
The last part of beginning is like once upon a time in undertale
The songs are short because they play on loop in the game.
still wished toby fox looped them to about 2 minutes lol, some of the banging tracks are like 20 seconds
A minor gripe I have when watching people react to Undertale's and Deltarune's OSTs, is that Toby Fox loves using leitmotifs, referencing songs in other songs, and I never see the people watching point it out. This habit of his has been often been used as a way to find connections between the subjects of each song, and are often even used as evidence in theories.
An example in this video: the first melody of Lancer can very clearly be heard in Chaos King, but a bit faster, after the first part. There are many, MANY more examples, in particular, a song in Deltarune, called Don't Forget, is referenced CONSTANTLY in both chapter 1 and 2.
I think it would be interesting for you to listen to the song Don't forget, it is pretty short, it has actual singing, and it gives a lot of context for other music choices.
If she'd heard "Don't Forget (Piano Version)" she would have fallen off her chair in tears.
I was waiting for this! Hopefully chapter two will be soon?
I think for chapter 2 it would be cool to have the songs in order and maybe some gameplay to get a better understanding of the context of the songs
This person you mentioned who has You Can Always Come Home as their favorite definitly played Undertale and it's their favorite because it triggers nostalgia in them. Well that's my guess at least ^^'
i really need Emily to make a Undertale Playthrough or more soundtrack reactions ❤😭
the world revolving plays when you fight a secret boss also I wished you played the song before you fight him
I hadn't heard the world revolving in a little while until I saw this video and it was like getting hit with a polka freight train, 10/10
The songs are so short because they're meant to loop! Like more often than Undertale's lol
AH YOU DIDNT LISTEN TO "DONT FORGET" THE ENDING CREDITS TRACK IS AWESOME
"You can always come home" is a remix of the theme "home" from Undertale, so it's not that different
Your editor has good taste, my dear
So I'm gonna try to describe THE WORLD REVOLVING the best way I can: Sensory overload in song form in the best way possible.
Really looking forward to your reactions to chapter 2! 💜 Field of hopes and dreams is far my favourite of chapter 1 and I think you'll really like what chapter 2 has in store!
I'm sure it's been mentioned, but the reason the themes are so short is because most of them are made to loop back to the beginning and play again.
"Chaos! Chaos!"
Then plays 'The World Revolving'.
Nice.
Most important song of Chapter 1 was missed. It is called Don't Forget, and it acts as leitmotif for most of songs.
BRUH I NEED DONT FORGET MOST SONGS HAVE A PART WITH THE SAME MELODY + IT HAS LYRICS
DELTARUNE! ITS TIME!!!
UAHAHAHA
MUSICIANS, MUSICIANS
YOU HAVE VISITED THIS GAME MUSIC TO RATE IT
AND IT GAVE IT A VERY GOOD RATE
NOW WE CAN PLAY, PLAY!
UAHAHA *insert the world revolving and jevil dance*
Love delta rune ost but now that I've sat down and really heard them You can always come home reminds me of traverse from kingdom hearts and scarlet forest reminds me of Alice and wounder land from kingdom hearts mostly comes down to the feel of the song and Instrument choice rather than them being Similar
Woah this just came out after I saw the Undertale one earlier today
