The Last of Us Part II - ALL references to the first game 

Soundtracks in order of appearance: At One - Bruce Maginnis Don't Look Back - Philip Guyler Nylon - Giovanni Antonio Parricelli Broad And Scott 2 - Dario Forzato & Omar Fadel Doug's Return - Bryce Jacobs Purest Of All - Dario Forzato 80 Miles From Greenville - Dario Forzato & Omar Fadel A Hand Carved In Stone - Dario Forzato Thank you everyone for the lovely comments! 😍💓

Biggest reference: Ellie ending up alone when in the first game, she said that was her biggest fear.

Its so surreal to see the differences between the two games and how "Old" the first game looks today. I remember playing for the first time in 2013 and thinking this is the most realistic shit ive ever seen.

anyone noticed how the beginning of both games are similar? joel wakes up 20 years later with tess knocking on the door, while ellie wakes up 3 years later with jesse knocking on the door.

After this game we need a prequel for Joel. The same thing they did for ellie with left behind. On how he helped Tommy stay alive. That's gonna be DOPE

There’s another one: When Ellie visits Joel’s house after he died, when you enter his room there’s a book called “An Idiot’s Guide to Space.” I thought that was really cute. Y’know, Joel is willing to understand Ellie’s interests because he truly cares for her. :’)

Bill: You keep babysitting like this and it’ll end up blowing up in your face That’s actually what happened, Joel killed the fireflies to protect Ellie, and it ends up blowing up in his face because the FireFlies came back for him

I just love that Joel finally got to have some coffee again, after over 20 years of surviving he got to finally relax with a nice warm cup. Rest In Peace Joel 😔

We need to appreciate how Joel says “co fee”

“That is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen” _fwoomp_ “Awhea”

When Ellie says that "Joel and Tommy did a lot to survive", she wasn't referring to her travels with Joel as this clip seems to imply. She was referring to when Joel and Tommy were hunters. We never see this ourselves, but after Ellie and Joel survive their first hunter encounter in Pittsburgh, and Ellie asked how he knew that the guy holding his stomach was faking, he says that he has been on "both sides". Later, Tommy references the nightmares he still has over the things he and Joel did together. Oddly, Ellie wasn't present for the 2nd conversation, so the only way she'd know that Tommy and Joel were in it together as hunters is via another conversation we don't hear, but it seems reasonable to draw this inference.

One reference you missed, when Ellie is leaving the theather to find Tommy Dina gives her a bracelet and say its for good luck, then Ellie says: " I Dont believe in Luck", its a clear reference to David from the first game, she learned from him that there are no such thing as luck, everything happens for a reason.

One think that I just noticed: Joel used the guitar lessons in order to keep seeing Ellie. Now with both of them living in Jackson, there was no reason for them to maintain their relationship as they are not related and Ellie had her doubts about what really happened with the Fireflies. But the guitar was a good excuse to keep her near. That guitar became the thing that connected them. So, losing the ability to play guitar was the worst punishment for the path Ellie chose.

0:58 That's the rabbits daughter, she's back for revenge, but at the last second she forgives Ellie for no reason.

The whole ending of part II is a reference to part I... since she said to Sam that she was afraid of ending up alone

Also, Ellie's pulled back hairstyle is an homage to Tess' hairstyle from the first game!

The entire second game is one big parallel. Joel coped with Sarah's death and the game showed how much he loved his two girls. Ellie and Abby coped with their father's deaths and showed how much they loved them. Part 1 was a requiem to Sarah with Joel repenting for how he could not save her by saving Ellie. Part 2 was a requiem to Joel with Ellie with her repenting by forgiving Joel, expressing her love for him so much that she gives up her chance for a normal life to find Abby and finally settle things (which she did, the outcome does not matter here). Rest in Peace Joel Miller Beloved husband Father to Sarah ... and Ellie

R.I.P Joel Miller He is finally with his other baby girl. EDIT: Great to see people still arguing about the whole "Joel deserve/did not deserve it" thing, really shows how much this game means to people. Also, thanks for likes guys :)

Also, Joel and Ellie both got stabbed in the same region on their abdomen unintentionally by something in the environment.

Heres another one - abby said to yara that her dad told her the saying "when you're lost in the darkness, look for the light" and her dad was the leader of her old firefly city. thats also the same quote marlene said in the first game

I have never had a game affect me as much as the The Last of Us has. It is an emotional Rollercoaster that i will never forget.

TLOU 2 made me feeling so sad and empty afterwards.

I feel like you missed one. So there is this scene in left behind where Riley has Ellie imagine she's playing the game and you see the light change color on Ellies face as if she's playing the game and now in The Last Of Us Part II Joel makes Ellie imagine that she is actually going into space and it makes it seem as if she actually is with light hitting her face again. Just my opinion but anyways great work on the video.

They newer mentioned Tess again, I think that was a mistake.

Tess had such an emotional death, and was never mentioned again. That scene was one of the best in the franchise, and was a pivot point in Joel's and Ellie's relationship. It really gave people idea how good the game was going to be.

The "Joel's past" part. I'm pretty sure its referring to joel being a hunter himself. When ellie asks about how joel knew about the ambush he said "I've been on both sides"

Dr Daniela star = ellie Captain Ryan = abby Joel: It was a nice twist how they escaped, though

1:45 I just love how that guitar soundtrack instantly stops as soon as the toy hits the floor

I love that the revolver you use throughout TLOU2 is Joel's revolver from TLOU. Every time you use that gun, it's a reference to the first game.

Sam's toy is the saddest and the most emotional reference at all

Ellie in TLOU2 ties her hair in a similar fashion that Tess did. This might not be anything but I thought it was a good (potentially irrelevant) parallel

About the "Joel sings to Ellie" part there are two lines in that moment where Ellie escorts Joel out of that building. "If we make it out alive you are so singing for me." "You wish"

i think it’s really cute how sarah and ellie also both like dinosaurs. in the first game, sarah made a birthday card for joel with a dinosaur on it (i believe calling him a fossil? i don’t remember quite what the card said). throughout the first and second game (heavily in the second) ellie also shows that she loves dinosaurs, even so much as calling joel one in the flashback sequence. so many similarities.

I think you missed the main one. The tragedy when Joel lost his daughter (Sarah) at the beginning of Part I similar to how Ellie lost her father figure (Joel) at the beginning of Part II :(

When I saw Joel's photo with Sarah I imagined Joel finally being reunited with her daughter and wife and how proud they are of him from changing his ways of living, caring about someone else rather than himself.

„You have no idea what loss is.“ - joel. Ellie: ends up alone and now she knows.

I miss Joel so much :(

4:40 you have no idea how hard I was crying when I got here, then cried harder

the pallet one. “Those days are long gone, kiddo” yeah no sh*t, Joel :(

I am proud of myself that I knew a lot of these easter egg when I played it.

It hurts me so much how people who loved Abby are trying to paint Joel as this horrible guy, a monster. He just wanted to do right by that kid :(

There’s another one: There is a painting of a deer behind Tommy in the "golf club scene". In the first part it was a sign that terrible things will happen

The revolver is referenced well before Joel finding it as a battlefield pickup. He owned and shot his neighbor with it.

It’s ironic how Joel told Ellie in Part 1 “you’re not my daughter”, yet he gave his life for her like only a father would have…RIP Joel

The Giraffe Scene. Man, I miss the old game.

part one felt like a tragedy when it came out. part two showed that part one was really a comedy and this is what true tragedy is.

In part one, joel threatened the hunter that he would “ pop off his knee” to find out the whereabout of Ellie. In part two，Joel had his knee popped off by abby with a shotgun.

The editing of the interrogation similarity, where it kept going in between Joel's torture scene and Ellie explaining it was so good man.

Remember in left behind Ellie and Riley act like they’re playing that one game called angel knives? I found it in the arcade setting where you have to get past that one bloater to open the gate for the boat.

God what a masterpiece TLOU was

Ellie in part 1:If I get you out of here your singing for me Joel:You wish Joel in part 2:I’m gonna sing you a song don’t laugh

Goodness, seeing Joel again always brings a tear! Such a good game.

The whole game refers to the first game lol

This video was very well done with the mixing of audio, transitions, and music. A+ and even though I might not like the second game's story I very much like these little moments

The editing in this video is actually very impressive, like how it cuts back and forth between the first and second game

I could listen to Joel saying coffee all day

Joel dosen't have blood he bleeds Coffee

I spent 35+ hours playing this game and I thought I looked everywhere until this video. How did I miss half of them?

21:40 It’s amazing how much better the facial animations are.

Felt really nostalgic and emotional this game is just connected to my heart somewhere something is just very special about this game

I wish bill was in the tlou2 I didn't know there was so much Easter eggs I overlooked damn

Man looking at this really makes me wonder if the Boston QZ is still standing and if Bill is still alive.

5:04 "honey uh- its stuck i think- *click sounds* *sarah checks the watch* oh ha... ha.... 😭

Tears me up every time how Joel put the picture of him and Sarah next to a picture of him and Ellie ❤️🥺

I wanna see a TLOU Part 3 with Bill getting some massive character development and Ellie just not being alone as she is in the ending of Part 2

I’m really glad they got a whole lot of these for the 2nd game

Probably one of the best story lines in a game I have ever played.....I was in such turmoil anytime Ellie and Abby fought to the death..I didn't want any of them to die.

18:28 i didn't know about this and now i'm crying

I miss bill he should have a seperate story with his friend frank.

1:09 the scene that we can hear.

I like how you edited the segments of each game to not lose any second of the video, giving a clear explanation while having visual evidence. Great video!

Yo this is some high quality video. The audio balance, fades between TLOU 1&2, the choice of clips to complement the narrative.... very nice video. It feels very nostalgic. Thank you!

Sam's toy hit me hard in the heart. Him and Henry were my favorite duo npcs.

Another thing I'll add if it hasn't already been commented - is that this also plays a lot in the ending. Maybe not so much a reference as it is plot point but an easy to miss quote from the first game, that still applies to the second game. *SPOILERS* In the first game, Ellie tells Sam that she's afraid of Scorpions, then tells him she's seriously just afraid of ending up alone. By the end of the Part 2, her choices have led her to end up being alone (and worse). Her greatest fear has come true.

The editing is amazing cutting to the memories while shes talking with the soft music

That was one helluva nightmare Ellie had, now Joel can wake her up and we can continue with a real adventure ...

After watching this you can’t tell me both games aren’t just great. Truly. 2 games you must play. TLOU2 is so good. And TLOU is just even better.

I rlly like the flashbacks with the current dialogue combining it just gives more feeling to the references

At 5:27 I never caught the correlation of Joel's answer to Ellie of "killing time" when he laid down for a catnap, and he is visibly wearing the now-busted watch that Sarah gave him on his birthday. Awesome video.

The last of us is like a bottle of wine. The older it gets the better it gets. I am pretty sure we gonna be back re-playing the game and discovering many new details in many years. What a classic game!

Wow I missed this detail in the first game. Joel always kept that broken watch with him as it was his last gift from Sarah.

"He and Joel did a lot to survive after the outbreak" is the most understated comment ever LOL

Man, this guy is soo good with the editing! Job well done! The L and J cuts were perfectly used to show the references without breaking the story. Good work!

it would be so cool and sad if when u picked up certain objects you hear a faint flashback like in 3:39 ..

You missed one smaller reference. WARNING SPOILERS FOR THE LAST OF US PART 1 AND 2 so before Tess dies in the last of us 1 at museum when you clear that area Joel ask ellie and Tess if they are ok Tess reply’s with yeah just a bit winded. And in part 2 When you play as Abby right before yaras death in the farm land of the seraphite island (I don’t know if it works going stealth avoiding enemies I killed everyone) when you kill all the seraphites there abby asks yara if she’s ok and she replys with yeah just a bit winded

Ellie: Tommy and Joel did a lot to survive after the outbreak Gamerforcast: shows clips with Joel and ellie 20 years after the outbreak

I was getting teary and emotional about Joel and his coffee,😭but at 4:28 I couldn't help but crack up with the bleeping 😂 I was a lil offended, I love coffee ☕️

This makes me tear up, I remember playing the first game on the ps3 and after playing the 2nd one this brings back a lot of memories I never forgot

TLOU 3: Bill out of nowhere torture and slaughter Abby as a final boss; delivering an indirect vengeance for Joel's death

Can we appreciate the editing tho🔥

This is pretty well edited! Especially when Ellie talks about Joel's and Tommy's interrogation methods

this video is beautifully done. even saw some references i hadn't caught before! thanks!

Imagine getting Part I remaster with this graphics! That would be sick!

Thank you for putting this all together!

Remember that Bill said something like Joel shouldn't get emotionally close to Ellie, because that is what gets him killed when he cares too much for someone?

The Astronaut part made me tear tbh.

When you had the option to make dumb faces I did it for a solid five minutes just to get my mind off how angry I was at the game lmao

Awesome editing with putting the references with footage from part 1. Really enjoyed this video. 👍👍👍👍

Great job blending together the clips from both games!
