Sonic: "Every world has its end. I know that's kinda sad, but... That's why we gotta live life to the fullest in the time we have. At least, that's what I figure."
Notice how king arthur is so nice to sonic that he literally doesn't kill him and allows him to gather the sacred sword first and then sonic slices him in half without hesitation. Merlina, on the other hand, all destroys the entire kingdom and all of its inhabitants and yet sonic instantly forgives her wtf
The storybook Sonic games were actually really good it's just at the Mechanics for the controller was complete garbage that was the only thing that ruined the games experience other than add it had a really good story and a whole lot of really good action as well as kickass music
@@grimmreapermk2315 I personally didn't let the motion controls that the games relied on get to me. in my book any given game isn't about graphics or frame rates but how much you enjoy it. for the two storybook Sonic games i did enjoy them. i haven't been living under a rock or something considering I've played almost every console handheld or not that has released since the N64 except the PlayStation handhelds. and lastly the part in my comment about the storybook games being good or not being debatable is because it's highly likely that there are many gamers who got so frustrated with the control scheme that they gave up on them so to each their own opinion in that regard.
The motion controls personally kind of ruined the game the game had built-in hack and slasher mechanics but they were way too constrained and restricted and it also seemed like the development team was a bit out of their element when it came to the hack and slasher aspect like the game needed to be kept in development just a little bit longer to polish It Off plus personally I think it was too early for motion controls considering they were still in the early Alpha to Beta stage the motion controls could barely read half of the movements in quick succession this was the same problem with the Xbox Kinect it had trouble reading the players movements in quick succession personally I think what they should have done was ditched the motion controls and just make a sonic style hack and Slasher with a controller Sonic and the Secret rings had the same issue with motion controls Sonic the Hedgehog is one of those games that just does not fit the motion control design on a design standpoint when they made Shadow the Hedgehog it was made right you could use guns and other stuff very effectively in the game because it was all controlled by the controller itself and not motion controls sorry to sound like I'm going on a rant here pretty much what I'm just saying is that if they would have just straight-up ditched the motion controls and made it to where you could use the controller itself Sonic and the Black Knight and Sonic and the Secret Rings would have been a lot better in their design and they probably would not have gotten so much hate
@@grimmreapermk2315 sonic and the secret rings wanst that good control wise, but sonic and the black knight had great controls, one of my fav sonic games and i grew up with the Sonic Adventure series
Dark Queen: "Why can you not understand how magnificent an ever-lasting world would be?" Sonic: "what I can 't understand is how you call such a boring sounding place magnificent" Excalibur: "Do you really think such a place would function properly?"
@@camiloraul7566 Dark Queen: You cannot begin to understand my sorrow Sonic : Good I dont want to understand such one sided sadness Excaliber you are a fool you are willing to sacrifice countless others just to heal your own sorrow
What I've always loved about Sonic, his views. He's not inherently a hero, people just view him like that, if his ideals ever crossed with anyone else, he'd fight for what he believes in, and that's everyone's right to freedom. Look at Silver, who was inherently good, a complete opposite to Shadow when Shadow joined the franchise, the complete good, and complete evil, and yet Sonic got Shadow to not view things as black and white, well ok Amy did a lot of the work, but not all people are bad, there is some good in the bad. Silver the exact opposite, chaotic evil, and Silver lawful good, the needs of the many out weigh the few, 1 hedgehog vs the world... now he too is one of Sonic's friends, because not everything is inherently white and black. Sonic isn't good, he isn't evil, he just does what's fun and fight's to protect for what he feels is right. I know this song is from her perspective, but I feel a lot of the lyrics feel fitting to him too, as if they're having a back and forth, especially... huh neat the most replayed part, "my eyes are filled with curiosity, you think you have the power over me, in this life there's no room for you and me" (not that he thinks that about her, but her drive and morals) "so turn away and face the day with me" as if he's reaching his hand out for her to taste the sun, escape the darkness... and yes ok the "away and face" was me mishearing... but still feel it's fitting. The ultimate clash of morals, and say what you want about the game, bad or not... this was one of the biggest developments and establishments of Sonic's feelings. He's had a lot of moments throughout the franchise, SA1 and 2 especially, but this hit the most. Sonic isn't a hero, he's not good, he's not evil, he's neutral and just does what feels right. Sometimes some may view him as a hero, others a villain, but that won't stop the wind from moving, the river from flowing, he's gotta do what he's gotta do.
Obvlously you've never played SONIC HEROES. So he not only sees himself as a hero but he's called himself one too and it wasn't an ego thing because he had saved the world several times with help from Tails and Knuckles.
@@trickq5883 Are you kidding, Sonic Heroes is my favorite 3d Sonic game, I've completed it at least 3 times, all As. Though fair point. However I don't put much stock in Heroes, it was just them making a typical game that has little to no relevance and stock... well for the most part, the biggest thing to come from it was Shadow not being dead. I mean I honestly wouldn't see Sonic saying "we're Sonic Heroes" in a serious tone, of which he says after the final battle, and you'd think Knuckles would sit by and accept that too? lol. He's also on team hero in SA2 Battle, it's not team Sonic it's team hero. He does good things, obviously he does heroic things, and saves people. Despite my love of Sonic Heroes it is just a fun extra little blip in the whole franchise. This is even explored in 06, what would happen when Sonic seen as a hero is faced against someone with pure and good intent? Who is arguably more of a hero in idealism? That's what Silver represented. The lawful good nature of the sacrifice of 1, to save the many, of which sure he's faced that ideology before, I'd say Knuckles can fit that bill too, but Knuckles has never been an obstacle of the world vs him or sacrificing Sonic vs the world. Just his island, his home, and the master emerald he was sworn to protect. Silver meanwhile it is fate of literally everything, even if he was being puppeted along by Mephiles, he still believed what he was doing was innately good. Meanwhile Shadow who was innately evil upon introduction, pure chaos and darkness, has since come to be a hero in his own right. From his journey with his amnesia in Heroes, to Shadow regaining his memories, and his story in 06, he's still an anti hero, but has the same philosophy of Sonic now that he will do what he must, even if he is pegged as a villain, he will follow what he truly believes. In fact in 06, it was this very reason that pushed Silver to look at the world as not being black and white, because of Shadow. People may look at him as a hero, he may throw comments around about being a hero, but in the end what he truly believes is just that people deserve a right to choice, freedom, and deciding their own fate. Heck nothing wrong with calling him a hero, look at King Arthur. That's why Sonic becomes him in this game, Arthur likewise didn't see himself as a hero, but greatness was thrust upon him, because he just wanted to do what was right. That was why the sword in the stone saw him as worthy, not because he had the blood of a king, but because he didn't believe himself worthy, but still wanted to do what's right in spite of it. Thus he became one of history/legend/mythologies greatest heroes, the all mighty ultimate white knight figure, no hero is more famous aside from possibly Heracles/Hercules. That Arthur, before he pulls the stone... is the exact mind set of Sonic. Thus by not being a hero, they become the greatest and most worthy of the title, of hero. Also what Superman used to be about before people started grouping him with other heroes like Batman and Wonder Woman, being in the Justice League, getting super powers, then quite literally becoming a Jesus metaphor. So if you see Sonic as a hero, that's fine, and as a kid, rather than Iron Man, Superman, Captain America, Spider Man, etc I did say Sonic was my favorite hero... to which I was laughed at because why would an animal be a hero? Because he was a good guy. Just as an adult... I appreciate him on a much deeper level, and see what he truly represents and means. A2B, 06, and Black Knight were the most deep and developed Sega has ever been with Sonic's character. Not that I'm calling you a kid either, I mean no offense lol, just stating that was my mindset when I was a kid. Apologies this is so long, but it is a deep analysis, there is a lot to Sonic's character, and even Shadow and Silver than people give Sega credit for.
I feel like this is the most dramatic Sonic final boss theme ever! Where you had the kickass Live and Learn, the awesome What I’m made of, and even the orchestral version of His World, these lyrics feel more personal for Sonic and Merlina. It helps that the message is a bitter pill to swallow. And the octave is more serious compared to other final boss songs.
Same, and this song definitely emphasizes Sonic's views which isn't explored too much, it is in A2 and 06, but this was full in dive into what he truly believes. I also like to think that the song is a conversation between the 2, because a lot of the things said feel like something Sonic would also say. That they have similar thoughts on, but the few things don't, is what leads to their difference in ideals. especially 1 specifically, "my eyes are filled with curiosity, you think you have power over me" sounds more like Sonic talking to her. Nothing has power over him, he lives by his own rules, his own freedom, and fights so that others' freedoms aren't taken away. Even if his ideology clashes with someone innately evil like her, or Shadow in SA2, or even someone innately good and pure hearted like Knuckles, or Silver in 06, he'll still do what he's gotta do, whether people see him as a hero or a villain.
I still think SEGA needs to revisit the Storybook Series. No gimmicks, no stupid motion controls, just simple controls with fun on-rails running gameplay with legitimately good stories and kickass music. SEGA has a bad habit of flubbing good ideas and then just never touching them again. (NiGHTS Journey of Dreams anyone?)
I mean sonic wasn't a bad guy there because I believe that every world should have it's end too, I mean I'm not just saying in the games but in real life as well, god created the world and gave it a day where it will end and we can never change that, the world has it's end because god created this world just to test each human if he's good or bad, then the world will end and the evil will be in hell and the good will be in paradise so sonic is actaully right.
God, I wish the Storybook Series hadn't died so quickly. The games' stories and character development were so great, but they were held back by sub-par controls and only being on one console which was marketed for a completely different demographic than the games. I feel like if they had put Secret Rings and Black Knight on other consoles, they would've done so much better. Also, fun fact: The team for Sonic 06 was split in half, with one half continuing Sonic 06 and the other making Secret Rings, at least partially explaining why neither were that great and why Sonic 06 didn't come to Nintendo consoles.
One thing I don't really like is how sonic moves like a car? The attacking is fine enough because it would make sense to use motion controls to move the sword but in here it feels quite off. Motion controls is not bad the way the game uses motion controls is the thing that's bad.
Personalmente a pesar de que la gente no les guste algunos de los juegos más recientes de sonic, y que antes, Sega tuvo la rivalidad ante Nintendo (la cual sega tuvo que retirarse lamentablemente del mercado de consolas por malas decisiones), estoy 100% seguro de que Sega le gana a Nintendo en algo y sigue haciendolo, los soundtracks principalmente, sega ha hecho un increíble trabajo con sus temas que los hacen tan épicos que no te importa si el juego es bueno o malo y sólo quieres escuchar la música que los acompaña, sin importar si es una etapa o un jefe, siempre te da satisfacción, epicidad y vida al momento de escuchar el tema y jugar. ES MI OPINION
Llego tarde, pero tiene muchas razón, generalmente los juegos de Nintendo en sus historias nunca llegan a tener tanta seriedad, y los soundtracks llegan a ser buenos pero, no al nivel de los Sonic.
@@forzadb7253 eh, buenos ejemplos de sagas famosas de nintendo que van por un lado mas serio son The Legend Of Zelda, Metroid y si no me equivoco, Starfox
For anyone non Spanish: Personally, despite the fact that people don't like some of the most recent Sonic games, and that before, Sega had the rivalry with Nintendo (which Sega had to unfortunately withdraw from the console market due to bad decisions), I am 100% sure that Sega beats Nintendo in something and continues to do it, the soundtracks mainly, Sega has done an incredible job with its themes that make them so epic that you don't care if the game is good or bad and you just want to listen to the music that the accompanies, no matter if it is a stage or a boss, it always gives you satisfaction, epicness and life when listening to the song and playing. IT IS MY OPINION
If u imagine this game was without sonic characters, I would believe this game would've been liked more. Its a real good game with and amazing soundtrack, but people bash on it since it had sonic as the main character.
Even then, while you may think Sonic with a Sword is a dumb idea... of all weapons it suits him. Especially with his wind thematic he often has. 'Knight of the Wind' after all. He also notably dosen't have armour except in the final battle. Maximum mobility.
@@Communicating2_Realnoclickbait Sonic outright says he hates guns in that game and that he'd never use one. Like maybe something like a dagger would more suit Sonic's speed style; but daggers are more associated with rouge-like characters. I'd say Claws but that's too close to Knuckle's turf. So with those two not really fitting Sonic; if I had to give Sonic any weapon, it would be a sword.
tremendous game, its soundtrack is epic, its story is great, the gameplay with the wii mote was somewhat weak but the truth is that you end up getting used to it and it no longer makes you annoying and you enjoy more
As much as people may overlook this game, I think it's EXCEPTIONALLY important to understanding Sonic. Sonic dosen't stand for good or evil. Sonic stands for freedom. Even if *he* has to be the "villian" who secures the inevitable end of the story; the world, that's better than losing freedom. No-one has power over him. Keep going foward with freedom, nomatter what's to come. Sonic would oppose a legitimately good-intentioned iron-fisted rule just as much he would Eggman's.
Background The song plays on a continuous loop when Excalibur-Sonic battles the transformed witch Merlina. Given the morbid, sinister nature of the lyrics, the song can be interpreted as being sung primarily from Merlina's point of view. Some if not all lyrics can be interpreted as being from Sonic's as well. The song is featured on the album Face to Faith: Sonic and the Black Knight Vocal Trax, along with its instrumental version and a cover by Crush 40. Lyrics OriginalYou know every world will have its end (have its end)And I'm here to prove it all to youAll wrapped up in my evil planSavor night (savor night)Evil's might (evil's might)You think (you think) that you have power over meYou know, every world will have its test (have its test)Don't blame for what I have becomeYou know every world will come to end (come to end)Savor night (savor night)You think (you think) that you have power over meSavor night (savor night) You think (you think) that you have power over me
Boss fight wise it is the best song in the game but overall I'd say that's debatable since Live Life by Crush 40 is in a league of its own compared to the rest of the soundtrack except this song and Knight of the wind as close second and close third with Knight of the Wind being Second.
when i found this video, i just felt like i was forced to watch this, but then i know why i was forced to listen to this song... it was the greatest thing i've ever heard... not even gonna pretend that im not interested into this...
Dont burn me to the ground for this😭 Boss fight: easy as fuck if you know hoe to parry, simple Song: busted to every measure in this song🤤 Boss design: fucking awesome Sonic design: i thouggt i was super sonic with a sword back hen i played😭 epic as fuck Id rate this shit a 8 or 9/10 Personally, boss should be more but what can i say, i dont make video games👍
An Act Of Chivalry May Be A Part Of A Knight's Duty However It Is Not What Makes A Knight Protecting The People Of Their Kingdom For The Sake Of The People And Of One's Own Is What Makes A Knight
Sonic and the Black Knight will always be in my top 5 favorite sonic games, it was one of the first sonic games I played and is pretty much what got me into sonic to begin with alongside Sonic X

@@kovidarthehedgehog4066 So many references here in this game But I still prefer the "Knight of the wind" And What about Lancelot? Also, it's nice to see you here. friend
Every time I play this game I wonder why I don’t replay the final boss and then 30 seconds into it after I’ve been hit I remember and quit lol. I had to take the longest break from this game because 4th grade me couldn’t handle the second encounter with King Arthur.
Me haz dejado sorprendida 0= juré que sería la de Crush 40,pero la versión original también es Épica pero poco apreciada cuando la voz femenina es bastante Buena 💖 Es de las veces cuando no puedo decidir si me gusta mas la original o el cover de Crush 40 :') ¡Hermoso video! ¿Subiras uno con la otra versión también? 🤔 Saludos ;3
