Alas, Ikaruga is going . . . Undesired, unwanted them, What makes them go? It is nothing else than the principle of the man who has the reason for being.
I will not die until I achieve something. Even though the ideal is high, I never give in. Therefore, I never die with regrets. Alas, Ikaruga is going . . . Undesired, unwanted them, What makes them go? It is nothing else than the principle of the man who has the reason for being. Then, it goes for one of the best shmups of all time
Lately, i've been reading a novel called "Yukikaze", about a fighter plane pilot. I've read that and, after reading this... it sounds strangely similar. I recommend, by the way ^_^
The way Ikaruga tells us its story is amazing, music, the feel of being fragile and insignificant but fearless and focus in our goal, die without regrets. It's epic
This is the peak of artistic freedom and pure atmospheric emotion. With just a melody the game needs no plot or premise to get you in the mood to make you go forward, for a better future. This is powerful as fuck.
That is true. While it does have a plot, the majority of it isn't dropped onto you as an intro to the game. Based on all the videos I've watched of Ikaruga, the plot was explained, not through long lines of dialogue, but a short quote within every level, all the way to the ending scene. No "My father was in the forces 20 years ago, and that's where he met his bitter end." stuff, and the game still emotionally connected me. Maybe it was because of the ending. Regardless, I hope I can play this game someday.
@@aliultimate009 Based just on their normal difficulty levels i definitely think Ikaruga is at least more "demanding" than Gradius V. But yeah Loop 10 from i've seen is absolutely ridiculous xD
As a composer I value the notes written down on paper more than anything. The notes are the same whether they are played back by a synthesizer, VST, or real life instrument. The quality of the composition doesn't change. Ikaruga's music would be just as excellent performed by a NES or an orchestral.
Exactly man. Most people who dislike video game music (specifically old VGM) can’t tell the difference between bad composition and distasteful instrumentation. Distasteful because it’s more heavily opinionated.
Ikaruga is the only game which I can say it's truly "perfect" personally, it achieves everything it set out to do with a level of maestry and elegance I have never seen in any other game before of after.
What they did with Ikaruga was take one melody then remix it to make many other tracks. You'll see resemblances with other themes due to this. Not like it's bad though, it keeps a feeling of unity, consistency and theme throughout the game.
CHAPTER 1: IDEAL Alas, Ikaruga is leaving... Without desire or need... What possesses them to embark on this hopeless crusade? It is the reasoning that can only be understood by someone who has lost everything. ------ I translated it better
Thus, Ikaruga takes flight... Devoid of want or desire What drives them to fight in this hopeless war? The answer to this question can only be known To one with nothing left to lose...
