Battle B2 here we go

“Lucifer’s theme sounds like it ties to Merkabah’s… almost like they’re 2 sides of the same coin.” Bro called it and he’s never even played the game. Damn

it’s funny how you can almost experience the whole story of SMT4 just by hearing the ost

What a coincidence that this VOD dropped on the day of SMT IV's 10th anniversary! Amazing streams as always, hope to see more megaten in the future!

Masterpiece. A OST that holds its own weight by itself. Can’t wait.

A 9 HOUR REACTION VOD? Dude, i am so gonna watch it all

I always thought this would be one of the coolest most unique soundtracks he could ever react to. Thank you for this stream.

Yep, he did SMT 4 OST along with a few selected Bonus Tracks from Apocalypse. Always expect 2 songs to always make a return Dan in each mainline, the Fiends Battle Theme and Kichijoji

If you want context for Battle B3 and Release: You have willingly chosen to attack a reactor until it creates a black hole large enough to engulf the world. The reactor is a machine, it puts up no fight. You keep "battling" it like usual until it breaks, while the music plays as a constant reminder of what you've chosen to do. Release is what plays once you've finished the task. Instead of creating a new future for people and demons to live in, you've chosen to end this perpetual cycle of rebirth. May you find peace in Nirvana.

2:04:24 - Tokyo I'll never forget the moment leading into this theme playing for the first time. What an experience.

10/10 OST SMT IV (SMT in general) needs more love!!

1:23:45 for Battle B2

SMT IV is both my favourite SMT game and my favourite SMT soundtrack. Ryota Kozuka’s synth work is just amazing, it really matches the cyberpunk-esque feeling of a post apocalyptic Tokyo.

I like how he improvs sometimes, it sounds great.

SMT IV has morality choices that I still think about every single night. 10/10 game

FINALLY PEAK MUSIC

I really like the lemon-eating expressions you make when you jam with the guitar. The music really flows through your face ❤

Great stream, loved that you did this OST. Put this towards Xenoblade 3.

"Over a thousand and five hundred years have passed since I wanted to hear your reaction to this soundtrack... You are either truly skilled or a fool indeed to ignore our pleas for this long. I will dine on your reaction that wishes to mingle with the Unclean!"

i've been waiting too long for this, one of the best video game soundtracks i've ever heard

funny how he says Aquila Statue Plaza is related to the main theme before listening to the Credits theme

Finally finished the whole video! So here are some of my comments: - Loved how in various bgm for maps you straight up pulled solos, they went so goooood - I havent noticed that the achords played the theme a lot, or that followed a lot of the same structure! -The lesson on progresive achords was nice, i gotta watch the pokemon mystery dungeon one now! Tho aside that, i wish to make some kind of story one day, hope i can make use of that haha Overall thanks so much for the reaction and analysis, it was so fun and i felt so nostalgic and vivid remembering all the tracks in the game, i played it 10 years ago when it came out, and Final / Apocalypse a little later, but it has been so sweet getting to remember a lot of sweet memories of it Hope you react to SMT III: Nocturne ost one day!

I love this game's OST so much! Totally watching this whole thing over the course of the next couple days.

Shame that we didn't get to hear the reactions to Dagda's theme, his battle theme, or one of my favorite yet in my opinion underrated good tunes, Kanda Shrine. But this was a ton of fun to watch all the way through, or just sit back and listen while doing work. Thanks for always delivering musically entertaining education!

YEEES YEEESSS OH MY GOOOOOOOD YOU DONT KNOW HOW LONG IVE WAITED FOR THIS

SMT IV is probably my favorite soundtrack from the megaten franchise probably because of how different it is compared to the other modern games, it has this retro nes vibe that you cant really get elsewhere it feels like the older smt game than the newer ones, very unique. I hope you'll do a part 2 for this ost because theres a lot of tracks youre missing (Battle A3 my favourite battle theme)

Let's goooo!!!! I love the SMT 4 OST so much!!

I wouldn’t have known of the connection between Battle B6 and B8, thanks for picking up on all the shared motifs between songs!

It was very interesting to see your reactions to some of my favorite tracks of this game! thanks for complying your streams like this!

This channel deserves all the love in the world, keep it up!

Almost 10 years of listening to this game's OST and I just realized last week that Merkahbah 2 has Mikado's music in it Truly one of the greatest soundtracks of all time that never stops giving

This video was so exciting to see pop up in my recommendations, all of smt 4's high octane high stakes battles, exploration, mystery and lore was breath taking seeing spoken about from an outsiders wisdom of the guitar and music. Truly awesome video and stream I bet!

I actually decided to give it a go after listening the ost first. Oh boy, glad I did that, quite amazing game, especially tense dark fantasy atmosphere. The same case was before with Nocturne. And after those 2 it was different with SMTV, I've started waiting for the game and new ost release. Great composers!

*smirks*

9h? The absolute madlad! Lol found you bc of your smt5 reaction, tysm for these!

One little cool detail abot the Apocalypses track, Battle F8 - Enemy of God, ( 8:56:06 ) that I think you might have missed: Notice how at the beginning there are those low booming horn sounds? In total there's seven of 'em, for the first sixx nothing else is happening, but once the sound comes the seventh time it's also the moment the whole track kicks in and actually starts to play. I have absolutely no idea if this is indeed the case OR if it has been confirmed or not, but considering the source material here (that the track plays when you're fighting against God, for example) I do believe that this is a reference to the "Seven Trumpets" from Book of Revelations, where the sound of the seventh trumpet signs the culmination of Gods plan for this world and the remaining steps He needs to take in order to secure it, in otherwords try to kill you - the one who opposes the God.

It's really entertaining how you dissected the game through the music, when you described the hidden/hints tunes lurking from earlier piece and becoming more apparent in later pieces, the game really does have this mystery outside of the what in front of the protagonist's face that becomes more apparent as the story goes. I have zero clue about music so i loved going through this entire vod and listen to your interpretations and see how it reflects the story and plot of the game

Can't wait for that Battle A3 and C3 reaction. Also End Credits as well. 8)

This game is an absolute masterpiece of the JRPG genre, if anyone here hasn't played it and is into that genre, I cannot recommend it highly enough! You will probably need to emulate it but that's super easy with Citra

FINALLYYYYY YASSSSS

damn. wish i was here for this. SMT IV is not only my favorite SMT Mainline, but my favorite game of *all* time. Glad you enjoyed the OST. definitely the best smt ost in my opinion.

Damn, a Doctor Who reference in an SMT IV stream??? My favourite game and favourite TV show in one video, nice. As always your reactions are fun, and I really enjoyed hearing my favourite ost get explained in such good detail. Now I'm just praying for the psx Persona 1 ost, which is pretty much the only soundtrack to come even close to this and V's quality.

As someone who played and adores smt 4 and 4a, I love seeing/hearing what he thinks is happening with each song. Cause all the underground districts besides the ikebukuro one, they're all safe spaces with no battles(I just got to the ginza district theme as i write this). It's also just nice to see more people hear and appreciate these games soundtracks even if they don't know anything else about the game. To actually comment on the video itself, it's also interesting to learn about the chords, notes, similarities between the songs and just like an indepth look at them coming from a perspective of knowing nothing about music theory. Keep up the good work man!

The philosophical question about true freedom and what it means to be truly free is really good to muse about and Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne provides a story route for this which allows you to challenge causality itself. Really interesting stuff!

IT'S FINALLY HERE

I enjoyed this as much as I did watching someone play the game… which is a lot since this is one of my favourites. Great video!

WAITTTT I DIDN'T KNOW YOU DID THIS!!!!! this is my favourite OST of all time, I can't wait to watch your reaction to it!!!

Id also totally like to see y'all reply on your favorite Demons from SMT and why. For me its Totally Manananggal The Vampire Witch of the Philippines on how she can separate her Body but you'd still see her Organs intact

1:23:45 for the best song in the game, how serendipitous

SMTIV is probably my favorite SMT games and it's really wonderful being able to sort of vicariously listen to these songs for the first time again. I love the improv over some of the tracks and all the faces made. I've always been impressed by people who can get into music so much that it reads clearly on their face/body.

I got to be here for this

FINALLY LETS GOOOOOO

YESSS FINALLY!!

OH BOY OH BOY ITS COMING

i was thinking in my head "i hope he listens to the smt 4 ost one day" and then i scroll through his channel and immediately find it lol

Such is a samurai skill!

This stream was crazy good

Yesssss

oh snap he's doing apocalypse!?!?!?

That kinshicho park jamming though!

PEAK OST

1:15:47 did you catch that motif that was in the shin megami tensei v ueno theme?

An Hamauzu soundtrack (so like Final Fantasy XIII) has to be done! He's notorious for his crazy harmonic structures given his previous classical music composing aptitude. Would be a very interesting watch! A perfect example of how wild musically he can get, is in The Star Graal in The Legend of Legacy soundtrack, that's essentially a contemporary classical piece in chamber arrangement.

Never knew YHVH couldn't stop, and was addicted to the shin-dig. ... Shin-megami-tensei-dig.

Probably my favorite video game ost. 5 and 3 slap as well

cant wait to hear windchimes in a tornado

NOOO WAYYYY

Id love to hear your opinions on the SMT strange Journey ost!!!

The soundfont on Hunter's Association in the VOD here isn't changed from the game or the soundtrack release. Just wanted to let ya know. 2:28:43

Love smt Apocalypse so underrated

good ost from a good game! love it, more should experience this masterpiece

The sequence between A2 and F1 of SMT4 and Apocalypse was great is like switching sides after their turn

Very enjoyable classification of the respective music titles! I would like to hear your reaction to the "Pokemon Colosseum OST". Greetings from Germany!

9 hours?!

Best smt ost ever

8:56:47 Red Hot YHVH Peppers

This is my favourite OST of any game ever.

LET SGOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I dont want to spoil me the OST so Im about to speedrun from midgame so i can watch your reaction

Battle B4 always give me the same vibes as a Keiki Kobayashi (Ace Combat 4-7) composed track. Just something about it giving you that same feeling of flying through the air and also all the emotions involved in the fight really bringing the realities of the conflicting perspectives and what fighting for them really means.

YOOOOO NO WAY YOURE REACTING TO THIS LETS GOO

huge

5:40:34 Bookmark for Chaos Origin & the Jam session

Saw smt4 react and i clicked. Was expecting a react of just the theme, then i realize the video is 9 hours!!!

Awesome-sauce!

Masterpiece of an OST.

Hi when is the next time you are updating the react list?

I really hope you see this, I absolutely love your content, especially the Minecraft and Terraria reactions, and I just wanted to say that there’s 3 new Minecraft albums out right now! I don’t know it there’s a pool or not, but you should really give them a try!❤️❤️❤️

Dude could totally do a remix or remake of the soundtrack and i would buy it

You should give the BlazBlue OST a listen. There are some absolute bangers on it, songs I listen to on a daily basis almost

9 Hours? Truly on a grindset here.

When B2 starts, the bad memories also does of an specific bull demon

Based

Please if anyone who can suggest things to him, i NEED NEED to see him react to Made in Abyss OST. It's not a game but it's the best OST i've heard in any media. Would genuinely be so interesting. Or if you, Dan, take recommandationa from the comments directly, keep this one!!! It's truly a masterpiece. Love your stuff!

Really disappointed that the Apocalypse playlist you used skipped a bunch of tracks, including some of my favorites. Dagda's theme, Asahi's theme, both Kanda Shrine themes, The Third Choice, the ending themes, and YHVH's universe. I don't get why those would get left out.

I would love to see you react to some armored core soundtrack

Which 3 will you do next? Xenoblade 3 or SMT 3?

2:10:10 - A2
