Silver Will (The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky) - GaMetal Remix 

I'm a happy little LoH-fan now. :D

He's really opened the floodgates with this, hasn't he?

Man I remember listening to the EVO version of this and now it gets a GM remix too?!

i just got into this seires around 6 months ago and im loving it! Im on trails of zero as of now

Update im at the middle of cold steel

Thank you Austin, awesome seeing you here!

@@JonnyAtma awesome hearing one of my fav guitarists covering such awesome tunes! Longtime fan right here ✌️

@@AMTRAX guy who requested song/recorded footage here, haven't played CS yet since I'm waiting for a certain Ao translation to finish, but once it does I'll probably end up pushing for stuff from those games

You did a great job in Cold Steel. You were one of my favorite voices!

@@Mr.Stizblee thank you!!

My compliments to the chef

Indeed

Jonny really lets the knife do the work.

You eat metal? Not good for your teeth bro

@@chgjake2230 Need some iron in your diet

“ Your Majesty, you are hardly qualified to feel pity for me. You, who know the name of 'Hamel'...”

What are you guys talking about?

@@normalguycap Play the game

@@normalguycap dialogues from the game basically, it makes sense if you played it

Love loewe

Okay, Rean Schwarzer.

Heh.

Whatever you say Rean

this man gifted me FC and by extension is the reason the song got done

I'm not part of the GaMetal discord and it seems like there's more to this, can someone tell me the story behind this?

Lmao

300%.

Looks like someone has been sniffing some zeram powder

wait for it.. wait for it.. timing it with the crit!! GODSEND!!

Just 200?

Kurt kills me lmfao

@@SebSosa Always found it funny how he calls his crafts 'arts'.

Sounds kinky - Musse, probably

@@McCaroni_Sup Having played CS3/4 now, I now understand just how correct your comment is.

I hope both Kurts meet in game.

I know right! Haha it's unbelievable

I need to look this game up. I'm clearly missing something if Jonny thought it was worth doing a cover for.

@@GearTech147 It's really, really good. My favorite JRPG series, in fact. Just a little niche. But I don't want you to get into this without knowing anything about it, since there's a few things you should be aware of when getting into Trails, so lemme share some stuff with you. Trails loves to tell very, very long stories, but it does not love to get right into the action like a lot of JRPGs do. In most JRPGs, there'll be some event early on that makes you aware of what the plot is going to be about by the time the prologue is over. Trails is not like this. You will go through many hours of gameplay without the plot really doing a whole lot, as the game uses this time to do a lot of character development and world building. I, personally, really liked this approach as it made sure that I cared about the characters and the world they lived in before the plot expected me to, but I've known a lot of people who didn't like this at all as they found its extraordinarily long start to be boring and drawn out. The game's combat, while certainly unique and fairly interesting for turn-based combat, is fairly complicated in the first five games in the series. For that reason, it takes things a little slow and simple at first to let you get the hang of it before it dumps the whole system on you and expects you to be ready to properly utilize the combat mechanics to your advantage. These games DO get very difficult, and you will need to be prepared for that or else it may turn you off from the games. That said, grinding is not really a thing in this series. You can grind if your really want to, but I've never experienced a point in the game where it was actually necessary to do so in order to proceed. Obviously you'll want to kill some of the enemies you pass by in the field, but you don't have to stay in one place killing those same enemies over and over and over again. Lastly, the series is very long, and its story is told across multiple titles. It's recommended you play the games in this order: Trails in the Sky FC > Trails in the Sky SC > Trails in the Sky 3rd > Trails in Zero > Trails in Azure > Trails of Cold Steel > Trails of Cold Steel II > Trails of Cold Steel III > Trails of Cold Steel IV However, these can be broken up into their respective arcs. The 3 sky games are the Liberl Trilogy, Zero and Azure are the Crossbell Duology, and the Cold Steel games are sort of split between two arcs, with I and II taking place in Erebonia at the same time as Zero and Azure's stories respectively, while III and IV serve to bring the two arcs together. Though, important to note is that Zero and Azure have not been localized nor ported to PC like all the other games, and we're also not sure if that will ever happen. It's unfortunate, but not a deal breaker, as you'll still be able to play III and IV even if you haven't played Zero and Azure, it just helps if you did. My recommendation, though, is to pick up just Trails in the Sky FC (it won't have "FC" in its name on Steam, it's just "The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky") by itself. It's like $20 on Steam, it'll run on a toaster, and it's the shortest game in the series. If you can get to the end of that game and feel no desire to find out what happens next in SC, then the series is not for you. If you do feel interested, though, then go ahead and pick up SC, and then, if you want to explore the series as a whole, pick up 3rd once you beat SC. Trails in the Sky FC and SC are a complete story by themselves, while 3rd exists to set things up for the other games that come later, so keep that in mind. That all said, I hope you enjoy this series as much as I have if you do get into it.

@@GearTech147 Just go in and expect a lot of story.

@@Blackwing02 It mostly doesn't matter to me if I have at least a vague understanding of what's happening and why, and if the gameplay and music are good.

Yep it is. You can say that again! It combine so much element! And they packaged it so well! From fantasy,myth,politics even spiritual believe 😍😍😆 Leonhardt and his hamel incident that make me really fall in love with these game

Same here! It's amazing to see this beautiful franchise find more players

don't forget Kaemfer and Heaven's Whip

These games are totally balanced and not at all exploitable. -Who needs Earth Wall when Kevin says Grail Sphere? Checkmate, Loewe.-

Kevin was my absolute saving Grace in the fight against Loewe. :D Spamming Earth Wall and Grail sphere while Kloe made sure to keep everybody topped off and keep Loewes Att down. That was the hardest fight of the second game by far. Endboss was a bloody joke afterwards.

The theme of Grail Sphere

Yeah Earth wall for life

You can do it.

How much weight can you handle?

TLP gang rise up

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

Weak souls succumb quickly to a strong spirit

I wouldn't call the song underrated but rather the game in which it's played. I personally dropped FC 2 times before managing to fall in love with the series. The beginning is the biggest barrier that needs to be overcome by new players.

@@BlowBow2 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--azjB3lsUTU.html

@@McCaroni_Sup I see what you did. I'm also glad that you noticed what I did there.

Its definitely not underrated. Underrated implies that liking it is controversial which is definitely not true. its definitely one of the fan favorites from the Trails series. Its moreso just people don't know it, or the series, exists.

@@FirstLast-mn4re That is absolutely not what underrated implies, I have no idea where the hell you're getting that from lmao Underrated simply means that it's hardly talked about, in other words... exactly what I meant when I called it underrated

And it makes it hype as hell when you open SC and you see it, right there in YOUR manual: Silver Thorn. Now YOU can use his cracked insane bs arts too. It truly makes you feel like Estelle and Joshua have made it to the big leagues and they might have the chance to defeat an enemy that seemed impossibly powerful before.

@@antonioscendrategattico2302 *SC But then, sadly, you need to get 3/4 through the game to finally be able to use the necessary components ;-;

*THIS DIVINE LIGHTNING SHALL PIERCE THE SKIES!*

Same

I went on the Merkabah lmao

Just hitched a ride from the Bob Cat lmao

He did already do Solomon Shrine from Ys II. And he also included Destiny (from Popful Mail) in SNES Medley and Eolis (from Faxanadu) in NES Medley 7, for songs from other Falcom games. Rest assured, though, I and a couple other people are going to keep on pushing for even more Falcom remixes.

Inevitable Struggle! 2nd favorite after Silver Will!

Cry for your Eternity

@@Jason-wt2rx That song is amazing, even more so in the context of when it plays.

Wrong arc buddy.

@@anubhavtitus LMAO

@@anubhavtitus well technically the entire series up to cs3 was building up to that statement so I rest my case

written in ink

Play trails in the sky before cold steel 3 and 4

Exceed.

@@jojonta2119 as well as crossbell

@@d3ly746 That too but it's kinda hard to find a decent way to do it

@@jojonta2119 not that difficult if you know what you're doing. I'd suggest asking in the falcom subreddit

AGREED

YES DO IT

As the person who had this song chosen from their PRL, yep strongly encourage this

@@Volcanic_Rave Please tell us again that you requested this song, my portly chum.

Agreed!

And silver thorn

That moment when a boss starts acting like a playable character and just spams heals.

@@ilyasbasuki3207 and uses Earth Wall lol

I can see why Mcburn is so fond of him

@@ilyasbasuki3207 More like when he busts out his S-Break and you eat shit cos you wasn't expecting him to get 3 turns in a row and end it with his strongest attack. :'D

Renne's backstory fucked me up.

Easily the most disturbing backstory I've seen in a video game

The worst part is that it's something that happens everyday irl...and her reunion with her brother in Zero, calling herself a impure being ... damn Falcom rlly broke my heart.

Here's a fun fact, Door 15 was uncensored in the PC version of Sky the 3rd compared to the Evo version.

He passed away in 2014, but his spirit with the series still heavily influences the series melody.

dw azure arbitrator is the next target and you're welcome

Oh wow that's sound amazing in metal. Another hope for me: Tie a Link of ARCUS.

Here's one another hope for me: Ancient Makes.

Intense Chase? Maybe?

I'd say Inevitable Struggle should be next and only then we move on to Azure Arbitrator.

No you Gaius, again with the Winds XD But true this is a great piece of work, may Aidios be with him

Gaius when you gonna make a move on Emma?

request it on the 2021 ballot once it happens! me and one of the mods from the discord are gonna push to get as many people to vote the song as possible, which high votes will make it more likely for Jonny to do the song

Lol, your pfp is literally my discord pfp. Snarker Estelle ftw.

it's GUTSMAN!

@@imptwins DA-DUN!!!

But I mean is there really a bad version of silver will not saying one can be better but they are all bangers

Yes can certainly testify to the quality of the series. Gameplay wise it's a grid based RPG, but what really sets it apart is the music and the story, both of which are genuinely top tier. The first game is on sale for $10 until the 2nd.

@@Volcanic_Rave so what is the order that the games released, and which game do you recommend to play first in the series? Is it a series where you can jump in at any point, or a series you need to play in order?

@@mcxopjesh the order of the series is Trails in the Sky (FC (which is just labeled as Trails in the Sky on Steam), SC, 3rd), the Crossbell arc (Zero no Kiseki, Ao no Kiseki), and Trails of Cold Steel (1-4), they were released in chronological order and this is the optimal playing order. CS1 and CS3 were both designed to be suitable jumping on points, although playing those before the rest of the series heavily spoils basically everything. I should also note that Zero and Ao haven't been officially released outside of Asia, but Zero has an excellent fan translation, and Ao's is nearly complete. The games are pretty easy to get if you know where to look, but if you don't want to do that you can probably skip from 3rd to CS1 (I wouldn't recommend that though, Zero's easily my favorite of the entries that I've played so far). It's also rumored that a localization may happen soon, so that's a possibility to look out for

@@Volcanic_Rave ah ok, thank you!

I can pretty much echo Mariomaniac88's comments. The Trails in the Sky trilogy is great and is absolutely worth playing. And the two Crossbell entries are a couple of my favorite RPGs ever. I'm a lot cooler on Cold Steel, but they are still solid in their own right. The series is very interconnected which is basically its unique selling point. There aren't really any other long-running RPG series telling a massive, ongoing story like this. There are 10(!) games in the series so far (and more to come) and all of them take place in three neighboring countries over the span of about 5 years. As such, events from other games are frequently alluded to, characters from other games make appearances, and sometimes story events cross games and show you two sides of a conflict, or a long-term cause and effect. But those same strengths can also make the series kind of a slog at first, because there's a LOT of worldbuilding and setting the groundwork for what comes later. And if you start with a later entry it can feel overwhelming with all the jargon, characters you should seemingly recognize, events that seem important but you don't entirely understand what they are, etc.

Hopefully he'll do cold steel next

@@buttertoast1146 Hopefully Zero & Ao before that. Cold Steel is just the worst.

@@Yadid1 in sound track or the game?

@@buttertoast1146 Both. Compared to Sky. Crossbell = 50% Persona clone ; Cold Steel = 75% Persona clone. Bonding points? Jesus.

@@Yadid1 eh I'd say it's a matter of opinion since alot of jrpgs have bonding, it's a good way to get to know the characters better also

Don't forget "Exceed!", one of my favorite battle themes!

@@Andreas32300 he hasn't played cold steel yet actually he still has to start 3rd

Hey waff you should go start The Legend of Heroes VI Trails in the Sky the 3rd

@@Volcanic_Rave Oh for real tho? Okay then thanks for reminding

@@Volcanic_Rave *growls*

No Inevitable Struggle? Come on son.

@@DonChalant Oh yeah, forgot it on the list

good fucking list

Especially Azure Arbitrator, I would say.

The series is packed with songs as good as or even better than this. The music team is crazy

the first game in the series is $10 right now on steam and can probably run on a potato although you'll probably want to buy the second alongside it

@@Volcanic_Rave I don't even have $10 right now... ^_^;;;

@@shinigamimiroku3723 oh that's a shame, here's hoping that gets fixed soon

You should check the GaMetal Discord. I hear there's some madman over there who keeps buying it for people.
