Vera : *Fought an ascendant* Alpha : *Fought an scendant* Chrome : *Fought hetero creature* Karenina : *Fought Moon Devourer* Meanwhile Lee : *Fought a High Dimensional being*
@deadnoobie2859 This is true, but his mind was able to handle all versions of his failures and every simulation. Even Nanami struggled over time. Lee actually held fast for his mission at hand. Nanami had the feedback of every failure over time. Lee felt them all at once in 1 time locked scenario. Which proves he is actually a genius. I mean shit, Nanami is a machine, lol. This dives into the never underestimate human passion vibe the game keeps pushing
All what you said about "struggling with yourself" "ascending" "another phase" and "new version of yourself" it's absolute accurate because exactly this happening with Lee - main character of this arc !
Marco did notice Ishmael but not the tiny Lee who is staring at her from the bottom of screen. I wonder if these are Lee's emotions, what you described. Can't wait to play this! Also love your videos like always, keep it up Marco 👍
Kuro just moved to the new building office and Wuthering Waves project seems near the end Hopefully after that they would advertise their game more, building more friendly and active playerbase, divert more content creator then boom PGR would just be like Arknights that has more big solid fandom
@@lovelution_ same here. Da hell is that boi talking about? The UI is nice. My reason for leaving PGR untouched is because I don't like the gameplay mechanics. Its my personal preference.
AHHHH YES, Marco's PGR-ification is sailing smoothly! Can wait for You to react and analyze more PGR's and, in general, Kuro's music! As always, great video, fresh and new perspective on the themes! I wonder what next PGR OST will you react to!
As usual, Marco nails it with his analysis. the chapter which this song came from actually because Lee really, really pissed off over what happened back when he and the other Gray Raven members fought against The Twins. This man really hold his grudge against them to the point he asks for a custom frame and weapon to surpass The Twin...which in turn makes his frame become the peak technology of Babylonia. Can't wait to go toe-to-toe with the boss in this chapter, tho... Thanks for reacting to this, Marco
@@MarcoMeatball the first chapter still makes this game feels like it's mobile game. the further, the more the boss fight blurs the border between mobile game and pc games
I was looking forward to you reacting to this piece since you funnily responded to someone calling upon you in the comments section shortly after it was released. I feel like you got the implied meaning of the transition between the phases pretty much spot on. The word usage of "ascending" at roughly 10:48 in particular is especially spot on in regards to the context of what is happening when this song plays in its intended environment/moment. As for the actual context for this piece, it's something along the lines of this (omitting any specific names): "You" have failed numerous times, many (personal) sacrifices have been made, all in hopes of finding a way of stopping the ongoing apocalypse that is happening right now. After all "your" struggles, your lonesome road finally leads you to the summit. And there, is an unearthly existence far more powerful than anything ever encountered. Acknowledging "you", the existence deems "you" as worthy enough to manifest itself in front of you and presents you a simple test; pass it, and end the ongoing apocalypse. The rest of the song is "you" trying to fight to pass the test, determined to keep going forward, as the obstacle of the test pushes you beyond your limits, until eventually you ascend beyond it and overcome the test, emphasized by the strong appearance of this very tuned, slightly upbeat bit of the piece, which starts at 9:17, and more than likely is supposed to represent the figure in question, overcoming its tribulation by triumphantly marking everything (in the music piece) with it's own self. This piece of music always felt like a very particularly well crafted and fitting musical story to me, and you yourself also clearly catching on to a story/progress being implied within it, even without seen this part of the game yourself, just reinforces this view of mine.
I just realized, you've covered many great songs from P:GR, but not yet my absolute favorite. I believe it's called "Two Flowers", but I'm not entirely sure, as it was only officially released on their japanese RU-vid channel, and my japanese is sub-par at best, so the actual english title might be different. It's also not all that new, it's been out for 2 years. I've played the game a tiny bit but I don't have any background knowledge why it hasn't had an official English release (if it had one I couldn't find it). I love all of your content, I wish I had more time to watch it, especially streams and such. Keep up your great work, it's a pleasure to watch you and see you enjoy the music as well
I've been waiting for this one since I saw you talk about it in the comments! I love your interpretations and they feel on point as usual! I love how you pinpointed "looking into your future" and the melancholic determination and the eventual release that this track conveys. This fight is a test for Lee, he needs to prove that he and humanity itself can eventually overcome the calamities in front of them and one day get back home. He's a reserved individual who doesn't like to share his feelings with others but just like everyone he deeply, deeply cares about the people he loves and will desperately try to protect them, and he has been VERY pissed at his inability to protect his close ones when they needed it. He once made a promise that the gray ravens will always stay together, and he will make sure that it transcends even time itself. Even while they are separated, he realizes that he is never alone and the oath they made keeps him going even in the face of a god-like being. "Recalling the faint light that was once mine" "Wishing to shine upon you forevermore, hoping to lighten your unfading sorrow" "Let our vows dispel the gods, let our promise overwrite logic" "I will dismantle our tumultuous fate and change the destiny I saw / Would it be alright if I met your gaze like before? / And we called each other by our names once more." - from Lee's official CN character song

I said so in my last post but I love how you really show how you feel the music! Also You lead to quite a few great soundtracks for games I didn't know.
"It's almost like trickling down, almost like watching water cascade down a stairwell" Or maybe to give another example, like a river, dividing into smaller streams, like time itself and all its outcomes, and this just hit me but it fits with Lee and what he experiences in this chapter
i just played through the chapter from this song theme and it's pretty much about lee travelling through time in a tower to prevent his loved ones from dying. About the relationship with his younger brother which he had to save from the destiny of turning into a construct. Lee's a character that's always very serious and we see some development as well. chapter 21 spiral of chronos he meets his past selves many times trying to climb the spiraling tower towards his hope against an unknown entity
Your reaction at 9:17 was so genuine. That is my favorite part of the song and I had a very similar response the first time I heard it. Easily became my favorite PGR track when it came out.
Again, through music, you hit the nails on the head without much context. You need to listen to more of Kinoko (the female vocalist in this track) in your future sessions with Vanguard Sound Studio's music.
A lot of amazing music from video games. I'm an audiophile myself who actually has high-end headphones and speakers, I've listen to multiple genres from the 1960s(particularly around Beatles), up to modern stuff like EDM. And I can say video game OSTs are definitely on my usual track list of the day and PGR OSTs are definitely one of my favorite OSTs as of recent, considering I'm much into EDM, Classical/Symphony music, they really hit all my marks and my god listening Narwhal and UnderDimension, two of my favorite tracks on PGR, on a Focal Utopia just hits so hard every damn time it makes me repeat the track over and over again. Heck I don't even play PGR, but damn the music is just amazing. These are one of the songs that are making me want to go into music production independently.
Dang, you don't play PGR? I won't say it is a masterpiece but if you skip the first 10 chapters it only gets better and better from there on, and this chapter in particular is just so epic for a lack of better words. Peak writing and direction and I know it will only improve from what I've seen in the CN server :^]
I just love how part 3 sounds absolutely *POWERFUL* with the sound going louder and stronger to show the power of "her" with the electronics eating up pretty much all the melodic sounds before leaving nothing but themselves (shipwave it is, I think?) only to go into a drop MOST powerful at 9:00 (note: in the fight she also does her most powerful attack on that drop, making it increasingly epic)
just a little more than a minute in and... "it's like staring at your future and feeling frustrated because you can't grasp it" HOOLYYYY!! how on point can you be??? edit: incredible analysis!! really impressive how much you can pick up and put into words from the music alone. One of my favorite songs, if not my favorite, in PGR
I just realize marco always got stunning when kinoko voice comes out in every vss music 🤣 Idk that he was been mind blowing, impress, or thinking that was weird
Not sure if Vanguard sound made it but there is PGR OST album called "Impression Echo" on youtube Some of their best music in that album, especially "Du Teufel", "Iridescent Cloud' and "Out of My Hands"
Have been waiting for this reaction for so long, and the emotional analysis is spot on as usual - without spoiling, this is exactly how the emotion shifts along with the story line of this chapter! It always fascinates me how many details are incorporated in a soundtrack alone without us (at least for me) noticing them, and having someone who knows music to decipher and analyze the hidden messages definitely made me appreciate the music more ❤
This song has so many genres I don't even know if this can be considered as a cohesive theme. Now I'm wondering what it sounds like if you hear it without interruptions.
I love how You see music. I feel like our souls meet togheter eons ago and try conquer this world. Your vision and interpretation of music is excellent and same like main. The experience on another level what is uncomfortable situations for me when i try talking about this with my friends or family. Im alone in ocean of lie. Depth of meaning and unbelievable immersion are untouched by 90% people in this world. In one moment i think i was sick of mind but true is other-they are weak and blind. Thanks for Your work
marco, I love the editing here, it's fantastic! your interpretation of the OSTs are always accurate and entertaining. can't wait to see more of your PGR contents 😆😆😆
Absolutely love this track and I am still desperately awaiting the arrival of Hyperreal Lee on NA. The boss fight is absolutely nuts and watching the top players fight her is just so good.
man it's always the expressive strings that get me aswell; dunno what it is about the specific instrument group, but it conveys certain emotions so well
I always love to listening how you describe your feeling toward PGR music! Great game with Great Ost It just need some more time for this game to shine more~
Hey Marco, I’d highly recommend listening to a song called Solar Sea from Girls’ Frontline. It’s absolutely amazing. Also please at some point listen to the rest of Astral Chain’s music, especially the rest of the Jena Anderson trilogy.
just sharing, i recently got back to playing pgr, i missed it so damn much(my tabs battery died idk, it costs more than repairing a phone so i had my old phone fixed, was able to play genshin and pgr again😭)
You should listen to the bgm for when they announced this chapter. My god how I wished they put it in game and also there's a bgm called "Overburning" I swear Lee has all the best bgm's
I am so amazed. This is one of my favorite story chapters, and I've read it a few times. You understood the overlying theme of it without even reading it... bravo. You even used a key word "ascend", which shocked me even more.
I really like this new Music "Meme"down style. 😆 Once again, thank you Marco for reacting to PGR music, it's good for the soul and heart. Hope you can react also to Nirin no Hana (Two Flowers), The Puppet, Dream with you, Dancing Tonight, Wraith and many more as well.
I play alot of game but I really impressed with PGR, as a gacha game it have the highest quality with character, music, sound effect, combat, story telling(lore). Not even AAA games can have such high quality on those.
Im so glad you're listening to more pgr music the game has completely enraptured me in its story. If you haven't already played it, id like to recommend another game called Gris. Its such a beautiful and heartfelt game that doesn't take too long to complete and its bpth visually and audibly gorgeous. I think you'd enjoy it a lot if you ever decide to play it.
loved the video as usual, plus i noticed some funny editing appear more in your videos, makes your videos that extra bit more fun to watch! thanks marco very cool!
Just got to listen to this and I love it so much! I'm a new player (just about to start Lamia's chap) and I think this song is only on the CN server for now? Lol We should get the story for Lee (one of the Gray Raven, gunner guy) by the end of this year. I'm so excited!!! I love your analysis as always Marco! I see a different side to the song that I would normally wouldn't notice by myself! Thank you for making this video.
Well this is insane musicand its like we venture to deep inside of someone mind the strugle the emptynest fron this person mind that show to us is so perfect fit with the song structure love it
With the current patch released (featuring this song). I am quite impressed how on point your interpretation is with the story in game. It's actually very accurate and close to what is in the story.
PGR: The Game that advertises the Music Company and in turn the Music Advertises the Game. I still haven't missed a single daily grind since I've started playing last year, and I'm currently grinding for a new phone since in only 2 more updates I will be fucked.
I feel that the last climax of this song is a bit like "Chrono Trigger". I accidentally heard part of "Chrono Trigger" and found that "Under Dimension" and "Chrono Trigger" are a bit similar.
The bits where the song seems to go off beat is incredibly interesting to me. It feels a little off putting which is the point I'm guessing. Then it becomes a little inspirational (not sure if that's the right word) or upbeat.
you HAVE to try listening to "Leap Wishes and Blissade" by Tantei feat. Keiichi Okabe (also called Two's song), a song from Drakengard 3 (series that takes place before Nier)
studio that make PGR is close to MHY quality... but they lack the budget of MHY to truly polish to the same level... but they have the same talent and passion in their work. their next game interest me but you can see the quality just isn't of the same level yet, but then Genshin beta was also messy around the edge... so they still have time to improve the game.
@@JAI-vz9rzLate reply but I dont think pgr and something like genshin impact can be compared, they're really different. Yes, they're both chinese games with gambling elements, but that's about all they have in common.
Hi, recently discovered your channel via your discussion on Terraria Calamity mod music. If you want to hear some really great pieces beloved by those who've heard it, look up the music of Phyrnna. She is known for her music for the popular flash game series Epic Battle Fantasy. If I had to recommend any of her music, itd be the final boss themes, but Fallen Blood is likely her most iconic. But dont discount Divine Madness or Blaze of Iris. Even some regular battle themes go hard.
Interesting review. Makes me wonder if you'll enjoy taking a listen of NIKKE's soundtrack. Cosmograph made and/or directed some magnificent pieces, EDM or not, and some are just so emotional that it would be curious to see you infer the context from them without knowing anything about the fairly robust story and setting of the game. I can offer you to try "The Goddess Fall", which is the glorious main menu theme; "The Collector", "Marian", and "Ominous Cross" combo, as they are linked together by one plot thread, "Pilgrim" for its amazing vocals, as well as some of the Over Zone's (half-anniversary story event) songs like Goddess of Victory. Also, I recommend "Eden". Its serene feel is just out of this world.
Seeing as how you've listened to a couple ultrakill tracks already, I would REALLY love to see you check out the track from the new update that just came out, called "Tenebre Rosso Sangue"
You should revisit armored core. There is a song by them called DIRTYWORKER ft. FATMAN that I think you would really appreciate its lyrical tone and representation of said "dirtyworker" captured perfectly.
I don't play the CN server nor do I read the full story but spoiler for you . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . the pink hair girl with that menacing eyes would be freaking badass ever boss on PGR Watch the Ayla Kaleido and Lee Hyperreal boss gameplay, just dang those thing always made me hype for this game
