Maybe it's just because Zullie uses this track for so many of their videos, but I feel like no other track perfectly describes the Dark Souls series like this one does. Hauntingly beautiful, yet deeply tragic.
“All that there is came from the One Great. Then came fractures, and births, and souls. But the Greater Will made a mistake. Torment, despair, affliction... every sin, every curse. Every one, born of the mistake. And so, what was borrowed must be returned. Melt it all away, with the yellow chaos flame. Until all is one again.”
Something about the cold, harsh melancholy just keeps bringing me back. It’s a foundational nihilistic feeling. The world might be sprawling, seemingly endless and full of intrique at first sight- But just like the cold hallways and dungeons of King’s field, they are both at the end, empty, save for the souls wandering aimlessly, surrounded only by dull echoes and the very curse of existence itself. You feel like you shouldn’t be here. There is no point in you being here. You might still brave the darkness and seek the conclusion. But just like is fitting, what awaits you, is only the discovery that it was all pointless from the start. The light you thought was shining at the end of the tunnel, was only your very own flashlight, relfecting back. A dark reality ;)
@@youngkappakhan who are you to tell me whether something makes me nostalgic are not? If anything that makes you seem like the fool going out of your way to even comment this 😂 imagine getting worked up over someone saying they are nostalgic, why are you even here then buddy? Jesus you must be the dumbest reply I’ve ever seen on RU-vid tbh well done on that, retard 😂
@@BLUNTASFFFBecause nostalgia for something you didn't actually experience doesn't exist (it's literally antithetical to the fucking definition of nostalgia) and this concept was made up by redditors in an attempt to look deep and intelligent. Nice job liking your own comment by the way.
Dont you dare go mad friend, drink some fountain water out of a crystal flask and sit by the dragon fountain. Similar worlds we come from both you and i.
I really wish their modern games had stuck to a similar style musically. What we've gotten is still fantastic, but there's something special about stuff like this and the DaS1 OST
dude this is like berserk did you know dark souls was inspired by berserk did you know miyazaki likes berserk bet you didn't know that huh did you know you can play as guts from berserk in dark souls did you know the firekeeper's feet and fat rolling and my dad leaving me are inspired by berserk
@@youngkappakhanYou're a bitter little monster. Going around throwing a tantrum whenever someone says this theme reminds them of another From game. Tsukasa Saitoh has been a composer on several new age From projects, and Kings Field remains one of the largest sources of inspiration for their new action RPGs. Grow up.
I feel really calm, uninterested and at peace with everything while listening to this. Like even if the worst of horrors would happen before me, I would just put on a calm and sad smile.
@@_Tzer I personally don't like Shadow Tower compared to King's Field, it has some really interesting ideas like its economy based on trading and new equipment being found in droves in light of both functioning doubly as currency & being less reliable, and I also really like magic spells being bound to rings, but coupled with cumbersome inventory management full of loading screens, some cheap enemies that move way too fast compared to the player and ones that can hit you from entire other rooms through walls with AoEs, plus an absence of music and atmosphere, it's probably my least favorite From Software game out of what I have played. I feel like too much was sacrificed in trying to push the hardware of the PS1 as far as they could. I will force myself to finish the whole game once though just so I can try ST Abyss without being in the dark, I want to try that one too but I don't like to skip games.
