This track sounds melancholic because the melody starts at the tonic and never resolves. Each iteration the bass starts at home, falls downward just out of reach and is lost there. It moves in whole steps, disguised as a happy major scale but it's still minor in essence. The lead also starts at home but jumps up an octave, far out of reach before dancing around dramatic half steps and stabilizing on a perfect 5th. Both voices started harmoniously, traveled in opposite paths and did not return. Now estranged, it becomes more bittersweet when you realize that their new places in the key are only one half step apart. So close, but in the end discordant is all they can ever be
this is the kind of musical breakdown I want with songs. I always want to know what parts of songs cause certain feelings to be drawn up. Thank you for indulging me.
Song is called Born of a Star, space breakcore is by far a favorite of mine. It has so much emotion and beauty behind it in a form of music that's not something you'd expect to have so much emotion.
I always found it interesting that everyone has assumed that the Coral was always this sentient entity as the game never actually says this and even points out that Ayre is an anomaly. Everything the player is actually told about what Coral is seems to imply that Ayre is actually a mental imprint of the Rubiconians who died in the Fires of Ibis or even potentially a specific assistant to the head researcher.
Ayre isn't really an anomaly, though. We know there have been multiple other sapient coral entities, like Seria, the one who made contact with Father Dolmayan. Them being sapient isn't the anomaly; the contact between them and humans is. It can only happen with certain coral-enhanced humans, like generation 1 through 4 augmented humans, since those generations used actual coral instead of the synthetic substitute used in later generations that turned out to be much safer. Many characters, including Allmind, refer to ALL the coral as Ayre's family, siblings, etc. There is no indication the coral was not sapient before the Fires of Ibis; it was just unknown at the time.
I always assumed that the "voices of the coral" was everyone that died during the Fires of Ibis that got absorbed into the Coral becoming one giant hivemind. Its only rare that a mind manages to split off and make contact like Ayre or that other one (forgot the name)
i always thought that active coral had a very primative sentience or intelligence, and only wave mutations like ayre or the one dolmayan saw for example gained true sentience. and i fw the theory that people who died in the fire had their consciousness or aspects of em absorbed by the coral tides
I never quite took her line of being "a rubiconian" in her introduction literally, like she is of course a product of rubicon but she wasn't human turned coral or anything. But the idea of a mental imprint forming a simulcra consciousness in the coral is interesting. It does function as data storage after all, and the existence of neural links in this universe implies the ability to transmit brainwaves as data through coral.
I say it's second best. 4Answer really changed the way I see international politics and anthropology, and 6 has the same tone but feels more focused in.
It's really great but I would have preferred a more grounded setting on earth like For Answer and have the player just be a mercenary taking contracts with the drama coming from personal rivalries with other mercs and corporate backstabbing. I wasn't really a fan of the Coral story.
This is a very For Answer and 4 sounding track, sorrowful and kinda nostalgic. You hate to turn against the first entity who really considered you a person but if you want to complete Walter’s wish then you have to turn against Ayre and burn all the Coral. It’s sad to see her fight so hard against you when she knows even in her machine she has no real hope of beating a pilot of your caliber
Tbf, that still may have been Walter who was the first. If you pay attention to his dialogue, he tries real hard to seem professional and dismissive, but it really comes off as tsundere act (especially in his dialogues with other characters) and he does care about 621. Just in rough commanding officer trying not to get too close to his subordinate kind of way
@@Aurilion44 the part near the end, i dont remember which ending, where he says "its just a job, 621. all of it." really felt like he was trying to convince himself of that and not us.
It’s funny how fulfilling the wishes of what was practically your father before he was killed/faced a fate worse than death…is the ending that’s considered the worst of the 3 And it’s horrifying how right that is
This fight and the one with Rusty were the most difficult fights in the entire game. Not because they were hard bosses but because of the connection that I had made with the characters, AC6 is a truly beautiful game; Fromsoft keeps making me depressed ;(. Really hope we can have a expansion on the story between Ayre and Raven, Rusty too if he's alive.
in the ending where you fight Walter it's almost a given that he dies when his signal is cut off, in this ending he dies cuz we kill him and in the release ending he;s missing and it's implied that Allmind kills him
We really need Fromsoft to give us a (or several) dlc that expand on the storylines. I'd love to have a Balum Storyline, working my way up the ranks of my fellow gun loving rejects. Would be amusing if nothing else. A storyline where we breakoff and join with the RLF early on would be neat. Would interesting to have a storyline where we liberate Rubicon without having a giant suction cup thing built on the planet. Another that would be neat would be becoming a warlord leading the Real Dozers. Would obviously have a part where we lose or truly upset Ayre. But I do think it would be a neat storyline in detailing a self-destructive 621. A storyline where we somehow get Walter to back off lighting the fires would be neat, might even be awesome where its an inverses of the 'first' storyline. Where Aquabus is pulling out the Coral much faster than before, due to our actions of unifying the world, and we bring together Walter and his 'Overseers', The RLF, Ayre, and ALLMIND. Maybe ALLMIND gets discovered by the PCA, who choose to work with Aquabus to delete ALLMIND, leading to you bringing everyone to the 'table' as it were. A final mission where Chappy and ALLMIND are using the Xylem to act as a space carrier, bring you and all the other top pilots to fight against massive waves of LC's and HC's plus numerous BALTEUS. Win conditions wouldn't be beating enemies, but lasting long enough for several timers to finish, with secondary objectives, that if done, speed those timers up.
@tobiasneethling8871 in LoR it isn't clear if he is actually dead or if he did the core expansion teleport thing like when you fought him earlier, though considering how far he has to fall it's pretty likely he is dead, unfortunately. Regarding allmind, I don't think she'd have killed him since the RLF don't pose much of a threat to her goal, it's entirely possible the six vesper clones she deploys consist of some combination of the other 7 vespers including ones raven never kills himself, making it more likely he survived.
Out of curiosity, is Izar basque? The fact the song is named "born of a star" and Izar stands for "star" in basque just seems like too big of a coincidence to me.
i usually listen to born of a star on its own, and was not expecting to hear it here. literally did a double take. glad to find someone else that enjoys it though
Dude it's hard to believe this song is not a part of the OST. It has such similar vibes in the beginning to Something is Always Moving on the Surface. That's crazy, thanks for sharing this masterpiece :)
Clicked on this video expecting to find a new song for myself to listen to but it happened to be a song already in a playlist I have, this is peak indeed
While I did all the endings for completions sake, I left this one last. Fighting my brain parasite waifu was emotionally draining. I blame Fromsoft for choosing her voice to be so damn soothing to hear.
something about outer orbit/space and pianos just goes so well together, with the breakcore going perfectly with the twitchy and fast paced action of armored core (yet to play the game so I'm missing the greater story element at play here)
I'd like to imagine that this was my uncle playing & fighting against Ayre. He always told me how bs she was, but fun. I fought her as well and had fun fighting against her. Armoured core 6 was the last game I knew he played before passing away four days before this video got uploaded and this game and Ayre's fight is all that I can truly remember my uncle by. Something we both loved and enjoyed. See you out there in the skies uncle, I love you..
You know what this reminded me of? "If, even after this battle, they tell me I can live on...I'll go and find a mirror somewhere...and practice smiling. I'll practice over and over so that I can see him once again." -Anemone (Eureka Seven)
my canon is the ground hog day theory. through the first run 621 a puppent new introduced to the final coral product, 2nd almost like a simulation hes rought back aware after the end of the first run, till the 3rd run reaching metamorphosis
try this with Armored Core 20th Anniversary Special Disk 02: 19 - Reminiscence on the Walter fight but time it with when his foot is on screen in the cutscene
Is it weird that the only time i cryed in ac6 was during my fight with ayre, i put down rusty with no tears but putign down ayre, that hit like a hammer
I love her ac in this ending..but I hate what I have to do to achieve it, losing Rusty and Ayre. I hope when we get a dlc for this game it dives into past Rubicon or Rusty's past or whatever From soft wants. This game is beautifully crafted
I use a build too powerful for Ayre, and if I play this song, most of the time I can beat her before the song ends. Sometimes I don’t even get the good part
There are builds that are capable of fighting her with limited input. Someone made a tank build where they didn't move at all and managed to win the fight [Video "Ayre but I don't move - AC6" by absolution. Though I don't think the stuff is fully available until later in the game and Balteus or the Sea Spider which could be problematic until then. Targeting her can be relegated to the lock-on/tracking feature so long as you don't attempt to move the camera itself.
![ALLMIND Bossfight but [Do You Remember? Take2] by Usuda is keeping me motivated](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/1SJp48SwRFY/mqdefault.jpg)
Mans, i started to believe that Breakcore Musics fits in every fight today.
It's called "break" core, you gotta break SOMETHING with it
@@jacobbrown3781 *Smashing from Armored Core 5 start playing*
Man if you like drum n bass in armored core, do I have some good news about every single game before this one
That's so true.
Found the Ultrakill enjoyer.
Ayre cannot complain. I fought for her vision first time around and she PROMISED to support me the next time.
😂
depending on the order of endings you get, she holds up the promise
I didn't understand a single god damn thing it said in the entire game... what was it even??? some crazy AI?
@@CasepbX No she *was* coral. The coral was alive.
@@CasepbXDo you just not understand basic words? It's not hard to grasp she tells you everything.
Somehow the soundrack makes me feel reminiscence and sorrow emitting from not just Ayre but possibly Raven as well
That's Izar for you. She really knows how to make quite emotional breakcore.
Break core is awesome bc of how it can be fitting for just about anything if utilized properly
Very much so, there's been occasions where I've put the controller down just cause I didn't have the heart to end her.
This song just garuntees it.

2:23 that dodge made my gasp, holy
I hope this game is remembered as a masterpiece. It just hits home on so many levels. Best in the series

it was too soulsy
@CasepbX Say what?
Born of a Star is a great soundtrack ngl
Bro, I adore Izars music

Pretty sure you meet Rusty before Ayre.
Man- literal chills when Ayre goes into her second phase with the music picking up behind her voice
It’s funny how fulfilling the wishes of what was practically your father before he was killed/faced a fate worse than death…is the ending that’s considered the worst of the 3
And it’s horrifying how right that is
This made it look like you were the boss fight. And Ayre lost.
the voice acting in this game is just god tier
i hated it lol
Fkn hell... I don't know the Lore of AC yet, but this clip felt like a pure space opera, almost cried 😢
Im so glad someone else found this i would fight ayre to this exact song all the time
This fight and the one with Rusty were the most difficult fights in the entire game. Not because they were hard bosses but because of the connection that I had made with the characters, AC6 is a truly beautiful game; Fromsoft keeps making me depressed ;(.

I love playing music with some games. Changes the tone.
This is cinematic beauty. Pure. Unadulterated. Awe inspiring. Had me locked from beginning to end.
I am so glad that Izar is blowing up. Their music is soo good.
Out of curiosity, is Izar basque?
The fact the song is named "born of a star" and Izar stands for "star" in basque just seems like too big of a coincidence to me.
Once the track gets going, it hits hard.
breakcore just fits armored core in general
Pretty they used a few Amen Breaks as well.
Her ending was the first time I actually cried because of a game.
look I was sad af during this fight originally, you didn't have to make more of a somber moment than it already was 😭😭😭😭
Put "it has to be this way" in allmind batle. Thats f*ck*ng cinema
i usually listen to born of a star on its own, and was not expecting to hear it here. literally did a double take. glad to find someone else that enjoys it though
wow. this makes me feel... empty.
Bro as soon as I heard that first note I already knew what peak lied ahead
Dude it's hard to believe this song is not a part of the OST. It has such similar vibes in the beginning to Something is Always Moving on the Surface. That's crazy, thanks for sharing this masterpiece :)
I literally added all their music essentially to my mecha playlist lol, it just fits

While I did all the endings for completions sake, I left this one last. Fighting my brain parasite waifu was emotionally draining. I blame Fromsoft for choosing her voice to be so damn soothing to hear.
I thought you had to complete the allmind ending last?
@mynameis_________5875 last before that as it doesn't unlock until you do the first three
@@mynameis_________5875 I think you only need it to be your third play through. So you could do Walter, Walter, Allmind, Ayre.
3:17 the drums as Ayre dashes are timed perfectly, it's beautiful
Won't lie I did get goosebumps whenever I heard the first piano keys lmao!! Pretty cool it was recorded!
if only Capcom or Toei asked FirmSoft to make a Gundam game... it would be a really awesome game...
this is actually pretty sick.
LETS GOOO BORN OF A STAR USED IN A GAMEPLAY LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Armored Core 2 Vibes..
something about outer orbit/space and pianos just goes so well together, with the breakcore going perfectly with the twitchy and fast paced action of armored core (yet to play the game so I'm missing the greater story element at play here)
1:45 for the 45 seconds you have unlocked ultra instinct.
"Whis?"
"Yes, Lord Beerus?"
"Has he done it?"
"Yes, Lord Beerus."
I adore this song. This was not expected, but I thank you for this.

This was extremely, extremely whimsical. I'm so here for it
Honestly mad surprised I recognized the song. Props for a such a good pick
I have never seen a better advertisement for this game, that was splendid.
still so amazed by this game and everything about it.
awsm this synchronize so well
i love this song it was on my playlist for a long time and its finally in a video of a game that i love
Such a great game. I played it so much at launch i got the platinum trophy for it. Fucking hell, 100% masterpiece.
very nice

"Remember" fits even better.
Ayre: Justice
Walter: Freedom
Iguazu: Destiny
my canon is the ground hog day theory. through the first run 621 a puppent new introduced to the final coral product, 2nd almost like a simulation hes rought back aware after the end of the first run, till the 3rd run reaching metamorphosis
Born of a Star,Credit songs for my death and its variants,they fit perfectily in all the battle scenes you can imagine.
The fires of Raven is my least favorite ending, out of all three
try this with Armored Core 20th Anniversary Special Disk 02: 19 - Reminiscence on the Walter fight but time it with when his foot is on screen in the cutscene
I love this song! I've done this so many times with this song.
you were right! This song + this fight = 🔥
The title actually fits 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
ngl i thought i was the only one playing the game to this song
Damn it's gonna be a hell of a ride when i get back into it haven't play3d in months
Oh yeah i know this song, and indeed it used to make me think of some kind of ace combat like fight, not surprised that it fits so well here
Born of a star was an awesome song and got me into breakcore.
WE LOVE IZAR!!! 🔥🔥🔥
What if feels to block parry dodge anything purely by sound alone:
*I LOVE GIANT MECH FIGHTS I LOVE GIANT MECH FIGHTS I LOVE GIANT MECH FIGHTS*
Honestly a really cool build.
IZAR MENTIONED! W! 🎉
i love this song it so does go with this
Is it weird that the only time i cryed in ac6 was during my fight with ayre, i put down rusty with no tears but putign down ayre, that hit like a hammer
First person I've ever seen use the rat-shit stick.
YOO I THOUGHT NO ONE KNEW ABOUT IZAR'S PROJECTS
Its.....beautiful
Tron soundtrack is a must for some fights😂
Man I feel so bad about all of the electric type weapons. They just don't deal that much damage. As a LW enjoyer myself well played man.
I like it when personal builds are used to beat final bosses. But I try not using meta weapons.
What do you guys do to make the fight interesting?
Seconded. Unique builds and playstyles are what makes this game shine so much.
I thought zone of enders 3 came out. This game is georgeous
Wish FromSoft never abandoned this game.
Ayre is a rock I have no regrets
Pretty CooLCooL ‼️‼️‼️
What the fuck, i literally have a breakcore playlist open on my tv playing the exact same song
I love her ac in this ending..but I hate what I have to do to achieve it, losing Rusty and Ayre. I hope when we get a dlc for this game it dives into past Rubicon or Rusty's past or whatever From soft wants. This game is beautifully crafted
This game looks fun as hell, like how Gundam should feel.
Has Gundam Mods.
another based izar enjoyer
Not gonna lie, it do indeed Slap.
the good ending
I use a build too powerful for Ayre, and if I play this song, most of the time I can beat her before the song ends. Sometimes I don’t even get the good part
This is everything Dragon Ball Z the video game should had been.
Hated to do this but the true path is always hidden behind pain
Honestly the song sounds like older armored core games music. imo
This games pve is so goated
Neat song... cool fight, but just watching this I can say with a fact, my motor control couldn't keep up with this game
There are builds that are capable of fighting her with limited input. Someone made a tank build where they didn't move at all and managed to win the fight [Video "Ayre but I don't move - AC6" by absolution. Though I don't think the stuff is fully available until later in the game and Balteus or the Sea Spider which could be problematic until then.
Targeting her can be relegated to the lock-on/tracking feature so long as you don't attempt to move the camera itself.
Izar? Born from a star? That's a pretty game of words.
(Wether intentional or not, Izar means star in basque, for those who dont know)
CMON Tars
Fiiiiiine, I'll install AC6 again
Banger... But sorry i more prefer using "Control Wishes"
Something out of ultrakill
