EDIT: We released a remastered version of the cover! Go listen to it: th-cam.com/video/tRmGaihwveY/w-d-xo.html Original comment: Some details i'd like to point out cuz why not: In the gameplay, when EXE's true form fades in, you can hear backing vocals that are deeper pitched "Our true colors will make themselves known and really shine" references the Amphibia episode lol "Confront whatever is making you feel this way" references Confronting Yourself cuz the melody references CYS "Secrets lurking in the shadows undiscoverable" references Shadow the Hedgehog, cuz, yknow, the whole "I found you, faker!" thing "Don't be cast aside by the ones who tells you otherwise" references Lord X banishing EXE in his lore "Break and divide" references Divide, the artist who drew Faker's sprites in VS. Sonic.EXE and who unfortunately passed away "Remake, reborn, rewrite" The remake part references how this is the remake of Faker, reborn doesn't really reference anything I just wanted a word that started with "re", and rewrite references the exe Rewrite cuz Lunar really likes em That whole section with the lyrical covers scrolling down the screen references how the Faker singing in the video is aware of how many lyrical covers there are of this song and how he's experienced (either directly or indirectly) them all, and he's kinda tired of having to play the same game over and over again In the analog horror lookin cutscene, the window border actually says "SONIC PROTOTYPE 2017" referencing how in EXE's lore, that's the name of the game he's in. It's really hard to see in the video though cuz of all the effects I added, so you can see the cutscene in HD here: x.com/MegadriveMarcy/status/1790891090339574194 "A new spin on what was only meant to be a singing lyrical oneshot" is him breaking the fourth wall and acknowledging that he's switching things up for this lyrical cover "We've gone through this trial before, you already know what's in store, it's time for you to stop playing pretend, and drop this facade" is Faker speaking both to himself AND the viewer, as they're both (probably, unless this is the first time you've listened to Faker) fully aware what will happen at the end of the song
Not entirely sure where I got them I linked the artist in the description and I'm pretty sure they put up a tweet with a download but I'm unable to find it
1:22 ew who let the mid guy's video in there /j anyway why the hell did it go all the way to 13 in the ending for absolutely no reason you had no right to cook a meal my guy

1:22 ew who let the mid guy's video in there /j

The fact that faker was talking to noone tho
he's crazy
1:10 That is probably a coincidence
perhaps
i dont think thats sonic...
of course it is! why so unsteady?
well he has BLUE arms and no stripes on his shoes
@@spamtonandmx he's just trying out a new style duh
ah ok
not like he would be evil or anything
faker came from ohio
