It’s been 5 months but damn, glad this random upload of Wave Goodbye on my otherwise mostly dead channel ended up as the one to catch the algorithm, I love seeing all of the nostalgic comments on this, it really gives me something to come to when I need a lift in my day ❤ P.S. Stay Fresh!
Just want to remind y’all that apparently 10,000 years into the future after the fall of man, this new marine society still finds Spongebob relevant enough to have a whole Splatfest themed off after him, so we are still kind of kept in mind in a way. Apparently one human legacy is still cared for, and that’s kind of sweet in my opinion.
This is most likely due to the liquid crystals that the Alternans harvested, which fell into the water in Alterna when things went to pot with the first rocket launch. In the Alterna Logs, it says that the liquid crystals reacted heavily to the Last Humans wishes and wants, which is partially why inklings, octolings and all of them are what they are in the game. Spongebob is and probably will be a staple TV show, so there could be a high chance that they still remember it from the human's wishes
@DaNinjaKat it is in the future, Nintendo made it have same year as the release date to make it easy (eg 2022 years after the death of humans). Its also called ‘mollusk era’ or ‘H.E.’ I think
I just love how at 3:00 the chanting of the calimari inkantation starts , Nintendo knows that song has passed the test of time and it's a staple for Splatoon games to hype the game
One detail I love is that this isn't just a song Callie and Marie made, it's a song of the Inklings as a whole. It's a very traditional song, passed down from generation to generation, meaning any time it plays, not just Callie and Marie and with you, not just the entire inklings, not even the entire world. Everyone of the Inkling, Octoling, Salmonoids, Every race is singing with you to back you up. It's as if the ancestors are fighting with you to prevent these threats from destroying not only civilizations they built, but then entire world even.
"Wave goodbye" it's a nice way not only to say the end of the saga, but also it would be a nice homage to mr. grizz to say to him, to all the mammals and all the humans who lost their lives thousand years ago finally "goodbye" and in the same way "you're in our thoughts"
@@kuruis direct said something along the lines of the splatoon 3 story mode being the end of a saga. presuming that doesn't mean they just aren't gonna make splatoon games anymore (unlikely) it probably means that next entries just won't focus on the story of the first three games very much. so squidbeak platoon and the squid sisters probably won't play a role.
@@kuruis it isn't sure or clarified at all, but since nintendo said it's the end of the saga, many people belive that this means complete new characters are getting the spotlight
The new squidbeak splatoon could be returning in future sagas, it’s just that we’re not gonna get octarians as enemies anymore and we’re gonna have to fight totally new ones like maybe sharks
i started bawling when the calimari inkantation chanting started. it doesn't sound super warble-y like regular cephalopod vocals, so i like to imagine it represents us, the players, and humanity in general echoing through their music and the game as a whole
There's a theory that the Chorus of Calamari County has its roots as a folk song from the human civilization. The liquid crystals remember humanity's thoughts, and it is said that the Chorus is etched into Inklings' and Octolings' DNA. This means humans actually sang the melody at some point.
@@TroyVan6654 This reminds me of the Splatune Paradox Conspiracy Basically a model of Splatune was in the game and someone found, went absolutely buck wild over the fact that the game itself is canon to the game and this world is eventually a ticking time bomb to the death of humanity.
@@Anaea well, yeah. I think it's pretty obvious that the game's story about what happened to humanity is about climate change. It's pretty on the nose. Which i think is why that model is in the game.
In more ways than one, this song is saying goodbye to us. First, this brings the Squid Beak Splatoon arc to a close, and Callie and Marie are thanking us for taking this journey with them. Second, it is quite literally saying goodbye to us, as in the mammals that lived on earth before the sea creatures took over, and acknowledging that the era of humanity is over.
They are the first two agents, it will be wired if the next game doesn’t includes them, OTH is only in the DLC, deep cut are not agents(yet) but I believe they will eventually add captain 3, Callie and Marie back :)))
3:00 Imagine if Calamari Inkantation was a different song that was made by humans, and that the reason for the song's effect on the Inklings and Octolings of the mollusk era is because it echoes the voices and wishes of the last humans, maybe they call it a heavenly melody because the race that created it is eternally in a better place.
actually, if i recall correctly (unlikely, dont take my word for this) it is from human culture, as an important song that was found, something or other... idk its been a while
There’s something really bittersweet about this song. It’s like a goodbye to the humans and all mammals. I think it’s fitting that the last thing the humans did was try to escape and explore. It’s what makes humans great, but also flawed. but even then, humanity lives on as marine life in a way. even if we all die life will go on. Honestly it was kind of sad to see mr grizz go though, even though he was a corporate overlord.
@@warmaniac989 that could be his corpse you know considering they practically showed one in the sunken scrolls and let you display it in your locker i wouldn't be surprised 💀
@@Gigachad-mc5qz those are most likely prerecorded messages, and always have been, so they’ll keep playing with mr grizz gone. also, lil judd starts wearing a headset after you finish the story mode and has all(?) the salmon run cards and grizzco-themed card sleeves in tableturf so he could very well be the one making sure the messages keep playing when nobody is there to trigger them after the radio is swapped
yeah i feel bad for him. imagine waking up on an earth where everyone and everything you ever knew was completely gone and had been gone for tens of thousands of years.
I was already crying pretty hard at this song but the part where you can hear human vocals chanting along to Calamari Inkantation absolutely broke me. I can’t explain why but it did
@@spoon7053 idk if they gave it, it's more like, they fucked their own planet up and in a last desperate attempt to go back to how things were, they brought their demise and the world healed and became something new
I think it’s not only because of the bittersweet lore connotations (accepting the extinction of humanity, and realizing that their achievements get to live on through the Inklings), and because sometimes we forget there are people behind bringing these worlds to life. Some crazy folks had these ideas of tofu blocks and paint guns and squids in a 90’s skatepark making a colorful mess, and it really reminds you that we can do anything. Doomed to extinction or not, humanity will always be creating bizarre, wonderful things like this, and we all have the power to contribute to that. I got my start in digital art because of the original Splatoon’s Miiverse posts, and I’ll bet this series inspired tons of other people out there to create as well. Always reach for the stars, even if you can’t quite grasp them.
Callie and Marie are basically the Mario and Luigi of Splatoon. You just can’t have Splatoon without them. I’m sure this won’t be the last we see/hear of them.
bouta step outta my comfort zone and admit this game has done so much for me. i dont care if no one understands or cares even. this game man. this fucking game. it raised me (and so many others, im sure) in middle school, a time when i was confused about my identity and questioning everything i knew - this game was like my comfort item. it was the one constant in my life that i so needed at the time. i cant emphasize how much it means to me - it literally raised me. shaped me into the person i am today, even. i owe so much to this game, i couldnt possibly put my immeasurable gratitude into words. yeah, maybe it didnt influence/raise me as much as it did for others, as i only got into this series in 2017 (i got the first game when it first came out, but couldnt figure out how to play due to parental restrictions on internet usage)- but holy SHIT man did it come into my life in a crucial time. yeah i may be making this overexaggerated too, but i just cant express how important, how influential, prominent, how significant this game is and has been for me, and not to mention for the countless others who have grown up with this game as well. i wanna scream how much i love this gameee. this game - it just feels like home. thats the only way ill be able to describe it and now the third installment in the franchise only feels like a great celebration of the entire series as a whole - celebrating how far weve come in these seven, eight long years since the first game. celebrating the achievements, and just how much this series has accomplished in creating a masterpiece. and yet it also feels like a conclusion. celebrating all weve achieved, yet also bringing the whole story to an end of sorts. obviously, not an actual end - seeing as its one of nintendos most recent accomplished, freshest IPs, along with the years worth of updates to come as well as the DLC on its way - but still, theres just such a final feeling to it all. i can say with some semblance of confidence that this will likely be the last time well be seeing the (N)NSS in its entirety; last time well likely be seeing the squid sisters, cuttlefish, octavio, maybe even the entirety of the octarian menace. weve concluded the entire arc of the characters weve known since our childhoods, and now? now, its time for a new chapter. one that involves off the hook, deep cut, possibly even agents 8 or even 4. who knows. who knows what else even. because yes, while this is indeed a conclusion to characters we know and love so well, this also marks the beginning of a new chapter in a new story. a new step in a new direction. and im not sure if im ready to move on yet. anyway, thanks for reading my love letter to splatoon, and i cant wait to see where the series goes from here
I love you man. I get this, and I totally relate on this level. Thank you for your love letter to Splatoon, getting emotional myself over here, too....
As a storywriter, this series sticks out to me. Being able to create characters and organically place them into such a deep, fleshed-out world has been nothing short of a magical experience. Not only has the game been fun and thought-provoking, but it's also so accessible for character creators. Anyone can be anything in this inclusive world of cephalopods.
I love this game I got the second one but I fell in love with it this was one of the first Nintendo games I really played and I still do #splatoonforever
This song really has "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" vibes. ♥️😭🌈 I can't imagine how such a silly game made so many memories and friends for me. I'm so glad to be part of such an amazing franchise.
@@upscale9109 end of the series? What do you mean? This is just the end of arc 1. Since the octarians and inklings have finally worked together to save the world, the original purpose of the squidbeak splatoon is over. Instead, most likely a new force made of inklings and octolings will be made, id call it The Cephlopod Squad, a new threat will show itself in arc 2
To describe Alterna, and Return of the Mammalians in a single word, I'd say... *Melancholy.* Through the story, we witnessed the desperate final attempt of a mentally broken being, to return the world to the way he remembers it. Through the Alterna logs, we learned of the final days of humanity, the day our hopes and dreams, our sins and hubris, all were buried beneath stone and crystal, but we also witnessed the creation of a new form of life, brought on by the emotions we recorded in those liquid crystals, to be given a new form in the Inklings and the Octolings. We witness the spirited defense of this new way of life, this brave world of cephalopods and sea life, by the ones who inherited it all. Putting aside their differences, even for just a moment, to save the world together. And at the end of it all, the broken being, defeated, sees that the world must move forward, that his time has come and gone. I'd love to sit under that false sky in Alterna and just...ponder.
This might just be my mind being weird, but at 3:13 - 3:14 The human-like vocals sound like they’re saying “You need to get along” to the new inhabitants of earth. It’s like they’re saying: “We messed up and failed, but we know that you can do it better. So keep on living for us.”
Inklings and Octolings were also close to be just like humans, cause a massive war, and go extinct, but thanks to the Calamari Inkantation, really woke everyone up to stop Al the fighting, and just get along!
June 1st, 2015. I was so excited. I was an 8 year old, telling the cashier at GameStop how stoked I was to play Splatoon. We went to Dairy Queen and then headed home. I played the game and was immersed into a crazy squid world. It was weird. It was colorful. It was even a little creepy at times… but I *loved* it. That day was one of the best days of my life.
As a salaried adult consulting professional at the time, I am sorry for all the times me and the other late 20s-early 30s Japanese salarymen splatted you guys back then during splatfests. Splatoon was a way to escape the stress of work and remember being a kid playing Tony Hawk or Jet Grind Radio.
I keep hearing Marie sing "I'll miss you" and I'm losing it. 😭 The first thing my sister and I said when we completed the game together was "Their vocals have improved so much!" Or rather, we truly meant that the mixing and tuning to let their emotion come through less robotic. Nintendo has finally nailed it. They seriously shine here. I cried so much. It makes my heart feel full and empty at the same time.
This takes me back to when I was like 10 and I got a WiiU with the original Splatoon for christmas. And now around 6 years later I am holding the third installment in my hand, which wraps up the original story(with Cuttlefish, Callie, Marie and the Agents 3,4 and 8, as well as Cap'n 3). When the credits played, I just had to be a little emotional, since the game, especially the Inklings, Octolings and the whole world is growing up with you. Now let's enjoy the future content of this brand new Splatoon and wait, if they will have a new one in store for us, when the next Nintendo console generation rolls around. Emotions aside: I highly doubt, that Nintendo would end one of their best franchises. Especially since it's very high selling in Japan.
I feel u, I first played splatoon back on the wiiu (came with it also lol) and I loved it. That was back in 2016. Now it's almost 2023 and... just the fact that it's been 7 years since that first day. Making an inkling for the first time, the secret playable octolings and the final fest. Dont forget the original offline multilayer mode :( The song makes me feel so nostalgic for it all. Sometimes I'll miss the original Splatoon, when it was just a small new series Nintendo made. Everything that's happened in this series though, its truly amazing
The characters in game have been designed slightly older with each installment to represent the young children who played the first game now being teenagers. I'm betting the gremlins are gonna be short af in the next game and its gonna be a soft reboot
Goodbye splatoon 1. For the joys u have bring us, it’s sad for you to “wave goodbye” but we just have to accept it and move on. It’s like Nintendo was trying to tell us of this sorrowful moment through this song. Thank you splatoon 1, stay fresh with us while we continue with our lives. Stay fresh.
Gonna embarrass myself a lil here and just say, I cried my fucking eyes out at this song. Even if it's not the end of splatoon as a series, it damn feels like it. I've been playing since I was about 10 years old when I got my Wii U, and since then the series has become something that means alot to me. So many of my friends and parts of my identity that make me *me* are because of this silly little squid game. I still choke up at into the light. Have a good 2 years splatoon 3
The song gave me a nice bittersweet feeling. Knowing that while this isn't the last splatoon at all, this is the end of the Squid Sisters story. It was built up over 3 games, including Grizz and it's come together in a wonderful conclusion. While I didn't cry, I'm happy to see a proper ending to these wonderful characters, and I'm sure we'll see them across the other games. Now OE and it's themes of racial tensions and overcoming theme and just the relationship Pearl and Marina have on top of Into the Light, yeah I cried at that fucking hard. Well..we'lll see in awhile what new adventure they have, I'm sure it might have something to do with Little Judd taking over Grizzco maybe... who knows.
If I had a nickel for each time a series of games had a very touching story about humanity failing to save themselves and passing on their legacy to something else, with nonsense but incredibly beautiful vocal songs expressing that world perfectly, I'd only have two nickels but I'm glad it happened twice.
@@solarprogeny6736 A this point, marine civilization has gained more knowledge about human speech and language. The band Sashi Mori uses snippets of human speech in their songs and I think human speech being added into a song that has the message of saying goodbye to the past humans left on the new world is quite fitting.
There's a bunch of others i would like to point out 0:48 " Kiramekimashou (let's sparkle) " 2:28 " Kirameku shio~kaze no hoshii ( sparkling sea breeze star) " 4:02 " kirameku shiokaze ni yurete ( swaying in the sparkling sea breeze) "
my reaction when i saw splatoon for the first time was literally "this looks stupid." 7 years later and it's one of my favorite franchises of all time, there's truly nothing like it and splatoon 3 blew me away with its story mode. i know that this arc may be finished, but i really, really hope we get more. i feel like we will, because a shot in the dark for a new ip has become the most successful game release in japan *ever* as of today. godspeed, splatoon
Yeah, when Splatoon was new and all we had was the "you're a kid now you're a squid now" trailers, I thought the game would be stupid. Played it myself and it's one of my favorite games
@@MadWeegee all i remember was every kid anticipating its release at school and myself only knowing it for those commercials. it was almost genius marketing in a way, it got everyone talking about the game even if they didn't like it and (evidently) some of them got hooked later on
me with shooter genre games these are dumb 7-8 years later splatoon has become one of my favorite games with the unqiue weaponry and so many ways for me to go nuts with completionism
Splatoon 1 came out when I was 18, and it was an extremely dark point in my life when I started playing on Christmas, way after I turned 19 at that point. I've played ever since. I teared up during Spicy Calamari Inkantation in Splatoon 2, but for some reason this song absolutely broke me. I cried like a bitch during the credits, even more so with the Calamari Inkatation chant started. Maybe it's nostalgia, maybe it's because the squid sister's arc is over but either way... this game is fantastic, with the lore and it's silly squid warbles during matches and... everything. I will always love this game to the bottom of my heart. I may be 25 now, but man... I never expected this game to have this MUCH of an impact on me. I'm rambling. But to whoever reads this, thank you for reading.
I’m not afraid to admit I was bawling while the credits rolled. It’s a powerful song for the ending of the Splatoon Saga. I’m sure Nintendo will make more Splatoon games after 3, but wow were all three of these amazing. (Big story below) Starting with Splatoon 1, I got my Wii U with the intention of playing MK8 and Infinity. My aunt bought me the game, and I think I saw Stampy playing it once. I was (kind of) hooked. So after forcing my dad to get me though the tutorial and taking a year to beat the first boss (I was petrified). I got home, and skipped homework, going straight for the TV and playing for hours. Played through the Splatfests, and was usually on the losing team. #TeamCallie SplaToon 2 came out, and I spent a good 1,300+ on that. I loved both of those amazingly. Then came Splat 3…wow. It was incredible, and I wish I extended my time beating it. Moral of the story, it’s gonna be hard telling the Squid Sisters bye, and the Squidbeak Splatoon- but who knows? I guess we’ll find out in the coming years. Edit: also adding that the Squid Sister have been music I’ve listened too since I discovered the game. Love all their songs! Thanks for listening to the big story. Stay Fresh everyone! :)
Same here and I’m not afraid to admit it either this was giving me nostalgia vibes for me I remember when I first got Splatoon on the Wii U and played the heck out of it Splatoon is a series that I will always love and cherish ❤️ and it’s the best IP Nintendo has ever made imo.
The squid sisters are so important to splatoon 1 and 2 and 3 that without them it's not the split splat game anymore. They are so good and I think google made a some sort of a Easter egg featuring them. They made them appear as a real group! Sometimes you can see youtube music compilation for you and it says which autors it is about. And if you get the splatoon songs then you will see RU-vid thinks that most of the songs are made by some people but... squid sisters are an actual band registered in RU-vid music and it's actually THEIR SONGS!!! This easter egg is amazing for splatoon fans like me or ya all. Btw stay fresh and thx for reading this shitty comment!🐙🦑🦀🦞🦐
This song reminds me a lot of Fresh Start (credits theme from Splatoon 2). I wasn't sure how much of the squid sisters we were gonna get in this game, but it was nice to see them fully involved with the campaign. Obviously this isn't going to be the last Splatoon game, but I do think it will probably be the last numbered game, and whatever game we get next (which won't be for a WHILE) won't be Splatoon 4. But it won't have the Squid Sisters, Cuttlefish, or any of the Squids v. Octarian stuff. Which is fine by me. I'm ready to see what comes next. Curious to see if the DLC sets that up.
Yeah, I noticed that it was very similar to Fresh Start as well. It almost sounds like its.. the backwards version? Like with what they did with Ballad of the Goddess and Zelda's Lullaby (BoG is the backwards version of Zelda's lullaby)
For everyone thinking this means the end of Splatoon as a series, I doubt it. With how popular and profitable it is, it’s pretty much a Nintendo staple now. It’s not going anywhere. But this is the end of something about Splatoon’s current trilogy of single player stories. The Inkling and Octarian war… The New Squidbeak Splatoon… Hell, I’m not even sure if The Squid Sisters will play a major role in future stories, or if they’ll appear on screen at all.
well yeah we still have a bunch of mysteries left and a lots of themes link to society to explore. so no its definitly not over.(looking at you l'il juds).
I’m sorry Into the Light, but you’ve finally been defeated. Fr I’m actually in tears listening to this. Edit: Wait. I TAKE IT BACK. It’s a tie… for now…
The Squid Sisters predicted the future with this song. Goodbye Splatoon 1, I’ll forever treasure the brilliant memories I’ve made on this wonderful game and I’ll forever Stay Fresh.
At 1:57 it kinda sounds like Marie sings "I'm gonna miss you" and honestly, I'm gonna miss you too. Thank you Splatoon for letting me be Agent 3 twice.
I don't know if anyone will relate to this, but i genuinely cried, this franchise has been with me pretty much my entire life, i love Splatoon, i love the Idols, i love Nintendo and it's employees for making this amazing game.
Bet you didn’t know where you’d end up eh 10 year old me? Enjoying the funny squid paintball game so much it redefines your life? Here’s to 9 more years Thanks nogami.
Though I didn't play the other splatoon games this song did get me kind of emotional. The calm kind of sad melody and the story it's really impactful. Humanity might be gone but their fiery spirit still lives on in our cephalopod successors
What a way to end the series! I got quite emotional hearing this beating the game. Especially that brief Calamari Inkantation at 3:05, god that brings tears. And farewell to each and every mammal, including me, you and everyone we love. Who knows- maybe cephalopeople and other aquatic people may exist in the future long past us.
I remember there is a saying: "They come, and they go. What remains are memories... ...and memories last eternal" The New Squidbeak Splatoon, founded by Captain Cuttlefish, with it's first two agents a.k.a 'Squid Sisters', and most notable agent ever created: 3 and 8. And boy they journey far, creating a legacy for the future generations. But all good things came to pass, and their story came to an end, they decided to depart with a blast. Now as the torch given to the next generation, we will see what awaits in the next chapter of Off the Hooks, Deep Cuts, and possibly the entirety of Inkling and Octoling society. Thank you so much for the memories, and remember... *...Stay Fresh!!!*
That saying also fits for the fate of humanity in the lore, too. They came, and they're gone. But they've left such a huge legacy that even 12,000 years after their end, that legacy not only lives on, but lives on so vividly and strongly. Echoing in every single Inkling and Octoling for as long as they breathe.
Through the years this has become one of Nintendos most successful franchises of all time and I don’t think this is the end of splatoon. WE ARE UNITY(edit:wow 90 likes I appreciate the support ❤) I guess this is it then huh? 😢😊
I’m pretty sure this isn’t the end of splatoon at all, just the end of the new squidbeak splatoon saga, which means that we probably won’t see the squid sisters again on a mainline game 🥲
once I finished gathering the Alterna lore I was able to understand what the song was about. for me it is about complicating the possibilities that the imagination can grant and how it give beauties to a world. as human wish to see the sky once again ,the marine life absorbed that dream and carry that dream along with the foundation of our modern psyche. through a form a miracle humanity was reincarnates only retaining is most fantastic aspect.
@@friccle_ i mean they never were racist per says just ignorant. the war was for territorie. then the Octarian got forgotten underground. there even was peace at a moment before it happens. so the situation at the end of splat 2 is a return to a status quo.
I believe the part beginning at 3:00 may actually be Shiho Fujii's (one of Splatoon's composers and the songwriter for the Squid Sisters) original rough demo of Calamari Inkantation.
I get teary eyed whenever I listen to this. It might sound silly, but these games have done a lot for me. They've helped me through a lot of my depression and Splatoon has to be everything I've wanted in a video game (despite the constant communication errors, thanks Nintendo lol). But really, these games mean so much to me and I cannot wait for even more to come in the future. 💚
I almost shredded a tear from completing hero mode, it gave me "fresh start" vibes while the instruments were very similar from the recent game. This has to be the end of the story in the whole franchise, helping DJ Octavio was very brave. Splatoon will always be forever in our hearts and a great fun living to us.
Splatoon 3’s Hero Mode is the perfect way to (probably) end the story we have followed so far. I hope in the next games or in the paid DLC we see what OtH and Agents 4 and 8 are up to (I mean we know OtH is with Damp Socks but you know what I mean lol). Gosh, I love this series so much.
Well, we saw Pearl and Marina's silhouettes with the announcement of the DLC, so at minimal those two will probably play a role. I kinda hope we get to see Damp Socks themselves too
this song hurts because it _is_ a "wave goodbye" in a sense. they said this was the end of the current saga, which means no more octavio, cuttlefish, squid sisters, anyone. this very well could be the last song we ever get from callie and marie. what a wonderful note to leave off on
This song honestly got me teared up, for the name, the series, nostalgia and how much time I put into this amazing game(s). 5:00 honestly made me space out ngl. I’m sad it’s over, but exited to continue the splatoon journey
I want to make this a checkpoint. For us to sit back and reflect on life as this song reflects on the game franchise as a whole. We've come so far, yes there have been holes throughout the way, but that just makes this song even better. For players who've been here since the start, it feels like we finally have come to an end of this arc. The series we've grown up with is finally fully grown, and all we have left from the years are memories. "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." -Dr Seuss
I’m going to admit that it took me after the adrenaline of the final fight to fully cry to this song, the night I finished story mode I decided to listen to the song again just to feel that rush of finishing the game to realize that it’s over, the trilogy is complete, and we may never see these wonderful characters we’ve literally grown up with again, I cried, and I’m not ashamed to admit it, I love his series, I may never had the chance to play the first game, but it was reading fan comics and watching people play the splatfests that made me fall in love with the series, And I just want to use this comment to say some things: I love the community that splatoon created, I love the story, the characters, the friends I made while playing the game, and so want to say goodbye to Gramps, Calie, Marie, Agent 3(now captain 3), to agent 4, agent 8, I will miss you guys, and I will never forget the memories I made playing this game, the updates and splatfest may come and go, but my love for the series and it’s community (even though it can be toxic at times) will live on Thank you for reading Stay Fresh my friends Goodbye
Man I just got picked up, slammed at a wall, dragged around, picked up again, taken to Tar-Tar’s blender, blended into mind control goo, and then splatted by Nostalgia
I hope we still get more of Splatoon. The Squid Sisters triology has come to an end. Imagine seeing Pearl and Marina on the main games instead of the dlc or deep cut arc
This isn't the end, this isn't even the end of Callie, Marie, or the Squidbeak Splatoon, it is just the end of the war between Squid and Octo, Octavio isn't the enemy anymore. There will be more monsters and madness sure to come. Tartar and Grizz both went nuts due to their LONG time alone
This song plays a powerful message to me on a personal level. 7 years ago, when this game first came out. I played the testfire after a walk with my dad (who passed away earlier this year) and I enjoyed the game and gave it a shot. Upon release, it was the first game I could ever recall to not want to put down after playing it. The constant updates gave me all the more reason to come back, and by the Christmas Splatfest that year, Naught vs. Nice, I was introduced to the Splatoon community. And there my journey really began. I met so many people over the years since then, some friends, some rivals, others as role models. It really gave me the kickstart during the Splatoon 2 era, where I met most of my lifelong friends from around the world. Now here we are, beginning the third installment of this amazing series which has given my life something big and grand to experience that I am glad to be part of. Splatoon is more than just a videogame to me, it's part of my life on many levels. I wouldn't trade it for anything. This song "Wave Goodbye", marks the end of the saga, it's the end of an era. And it's crazy to look back on how fast 7 1/2 years have flown by and to see I've gone from randomly trying a game, to having lifelong friends all around the world and having this as part of my life. I've grown attached to the characters like Cuttlefish, Callie, Marie, Agent 3, and DJ Octavio. This may be the end of their story, but mine is only getting started. We still have the DLC coming soon that features Off the Hook and I'm sure we'll learn more of Deep Cut.
Knowing that this is most likely their last song, it makes me sad knowing that I've played all three games and these two have been apart of it all, Marie is my all time fav she's super cool, and Callie is really energetic which I like. If this is the end of the squid sisters, I'm glad they went all out cause this song is beautiful 😭♥️
That reminds me. In previous games we learned that the remaining humans built a series of interconnected bunkers underground, which Octarians repurposed as their home after the Great Turf War. And as we have seen in previous Story Mode levels, those domes also have fake skies. Now we suddenly only have one? And it has not been touched by anyone before Mr. Grizz found it? What happened in the other bunkers? It's just strange that Alterna turned out to be way different than the other bunkers.
I can really feel the nostalgia in this song, like just every credits songs of Splatoon but i don't know why this hits harder. Hearing this took me to the year 2015, I had the wii u with Splatoon in my hands, playing something that I have never seen before, I was so happy to play story mode, get to know the characters, pass the levels and then I listened to Maritime Memory and felt so fulfilled... the game was just a new start, Now it's so big, more people have also come to enjoy it, I feel so happy to be there from the first day, I can really reminisce all the moments I had all these 7 years in just 5 minutes.
This is among the like 5 things in the whole world that actually got me to cry. Over my whole life, I was always bullied for crying a lot and being regarded as "weak". This lead to me vowing to never tear up around when I was 11. I have almost never cried during my pre-teen and teen years. Not even at the saddest things. I always try to remain stoic and neutral on the outside, it's a habit from trying to not let people see me as "weak". What I'm trying to say is I try my hardest to never show any emotion besides laughter or vague satisfaction for fear of being targeted. And yet this song managed to make me tear up. While at the same time putting a smile on my face.
Despite splatoon 3 being the first splatoon game I got, this franchise was in my heart since 2016, even if I had no idea about the lore, my 7 year old brain still had the capacity to make an OC and actually stay in the fandom now at 14. I thank this game from the bottom of my heart. And I hope the next story is as great as the squid sisters story.
This year I started working at Nintendo as a QA tester, and my first project was Splatoon 3. Having only played a little bit of the first one, I was excited but unfamiliar. Playing through the story mode for hours on end, I really fell in love with the characters, and this song just embodies all the positive feelings I now have for this game and the franchise.
Having to play, and replay, and replay specific segments of a game over and over again for hours on end in order to hunt bugs and glitches; while, still having a positive impression from the game afterward is a testament to just how great it is!
No bc some parts sound like “gonna miss you” EVERYTIME I HEAR THIS SONG I CRY SO MUCH. SPLATOON HAS HEALED ME AND HELPED ME THROUGH SO MUCH. I DONT WANT TO SAY GOODBYE TO CALLIE AND MARIE
As much as I like this ending theme, it will always awaken a wound deep inside me. That's because my grandma passed away just about one week after Splatoon 3 released. It just hits hard man 😭
I know that I'll be back here, when Splatoon 3's splatfests have officially ended, looking back at how different my life is now to when I first bought this game. When I first beat story mode, experienced my first splatfest with my splat group... Sometimes you don't know you're making memories, other times you miss them before they're even made.
Hopefully this isn’t the end of the series In the direct they said “Saga” so there JUST MIGHT be a chance that there could be another Splatoon in the future where Squids and Octarians must team up to defeat a new threat
I don't think it will be. Splatoon is a super profitable franchise for them, i cant see them ending it here. I bet this will be the last time we see the squidbeak folks, though.
Splatoon make mondy, so Nintendo will continue releasing games for sure, this game is the end of a saga tho, probably the octarian saga, or human saga? Probably not the end of these characters, the Squid sister and Calamari Inkantation are far too important to the series. Maybe the future will explore the Salmonids more or even the origins of the Inkantation and it's powers? Who knows
Splatoon is far too popular (especially in Japan) for Nintendo to cut it short right now. This is just the end of this storyline with Octarians and everything, 4th game will start fresh with a new story and characters
We could probably see the scientist turn himself in to a robot or something, or make Lil’ Judd the villain…I think that’ll fit pretty well, lil’ Judd suddenly disappears and try’s to kill Judd(probably got kidnapped💀) and we have to save Judd and destroy Lil’ Judd. Great ZapFish can’t be leaving again but I’m already seeing that happen. All depends on the final splatfest
I may not understand the lyrics, nor do I need to... but (Splatoon 3 spoilers for the later people) Deep down, this is a song of Wave Goodbye. The song that means waving goodbye to the Squid Sisters. Who knows if this would be the last time we hear a song from them. A wave of goodbye to the Inkling and Octarian's rivalry, reunited at long last, even if the other Inklings don't know about Octolings living within them beforehand. A Wave Goodbye to that godforsaken bear. Finally stuck up there not gonna threaten the world anymore. But deep down.... within the emotional beats, they are waving goodbye to the humans. Even after the defeat of Grizz, what Grizz said impacted the Squid Sisters' view of the world. Knowing full well now, the Squid Sisters are thanking the humans for making them the way they are in the first place, making the world they live in. And all in all... a wave goodbye for the current era of Splatoon. We may never see the Squidbeak Splatoon again, or anyone we know up to this point again... but as with life, as with the world, as with history, and as with evolution. Moving forward.... is the future.
There’s no way the Squid Sisters are gonna leave just like that. They’re like the Mario and Luigi of Splatoon. You just can’t have Splatoon without them.
@@BoltBlades12 I think it’s time to move on tbh. Having Calimari Inkantation play during every final boss, going against Octarians, and saving the Zapfish is going to get old eventually. Even in franchises like Mario and Zelda they moved on from the “Save the Princess” story eventually, and for the better too. The upcoming DLC and Splat4 are going to be a breath of fresh air. 😊
@@Teriiiyakiii I’m not talking about the story, I’m talking about the characters. Besides, Calamari Inkantation is basically the main theme of Splatoon
