Robert is BACK and this time he is hearing music specifically from his favorite publisher: FROMSOFT. Fun fact: this video convinced him to buy a playstation 5.

Glad to have Robert back in our first episode specific to a game series. I picked Fromsoft because he fell in love with Dark Souls 1-3. Bloodborne is his current obsession! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrp5fKZ9nNSblqs.html - for the full 2 hour video!

So a bit of armored core lore, the human + program (an evil corporate program of human experimentation) aspect is when you start getting into the "consciousness controlling the mech" territory but for most pilots what they control is called 'muscle tracer' technology (which is why some of the smaller mechs are called 'muscle tracers') in the games they're the units that were slowly molded into armored cores over many iterations of corporate mech development. (You must show this dude more armored core music wean him with the more addictive poppy music and then hit him with the AC4A the answer finale! Muhahaha! 😈)

This idea about the song being only white keys because gwyn feared darkness, I’m still not convinced. Dark souls has a lot of hidden things like this, but everytime I hear someone say it, it just seems a little extra like they want to feel special about knowing this secret. Some songs are written in these chords and it’s just how they were written, so it seems like a stretch to assume that ONLY this song was made in that chord for that reason. I’m not saying it isn’t true, but I just haven’t heard any good argument for it besides people saying it’s a ‘secret’ that they know of.

The Kings Field games are in a way a proto Souls games. Not so much gameplay wise, but exploration, puzzles and atmosphere are very much on point. Deracine was a side project for Miyazaki. It was made to explore "existence vs non-existence". Basically he had a cool idea for a VR game and at this point who would dare tell him "no". Actually a lot of their best output is basically games and ideas they have been working on and developing since the 90s. Demons Souls was simply a critical mass of quality that finally took them over the edge and arrived in timeless classics territory. By the way they have actually made Monster Hunter game. Its a comedy spin-off where you give orders to the MH cats. Its very fun, but also never got an official release in the west.

Just to give a slight correction on the armored core context since you asked, in for answer humanity (or at least the wealthy better off) fled to sky in large colony ships called Cradles.

Hey Marco, if you loved Always Moving on the surface, I recommend you check out more songs by Kota Hoshino. Specifically, check out the Sunrise album (it's related to AC) and the Evergrace 1 and 2 OSTs (they are niche FromSoftware games!). They are incredibly cool and unique. Apparently, Hoshino didn't have a formal music education and often went with the vibes when making music for the games. He normally does sound design for FromSoftware, but his music is out of this world.

Wish you had gone for the original version of Demon's Souls. The chamber orchestra-esque size gives it a unique feel among the souls games.

You'd probably recognize it. It's a short, unintrusive piece of music that he uses at specific places where it's useful, as an easter egg or calling card. That's fine. It wouldn't be fine if it was a full five minute piece with very, very little musical content that repeats over and over and over and, despite actually having different harmony, sounds basically the same and serves exactly the same function in every film he (and his understudies, see Captain Philips) writes for.

I love the attention the souls franchise is getting here in terms of you pointing out leitmotifs and connecting the music of each game and it's emotional impact to their broader narrative and ambiance. The atmosphere of these games is so important in understanding what they are. For Bloodborne you can hear the fear and determination, with an undercurrent of rage as you hunt the cleric beasts. For Dark Souls 3 you can feel the nostalgia in the music as the lord of cinder calls back to gwyn. In Firelink shrine, you can hear that this world is at the end; almost at peace, but not yet ready to die. These pieces paint a colorful picture of sadness at the world being lost to demons in one musical breath that fills you with power and steels your heart to fight until your battle is won. These worlds are full of emotion, and I think they deserve the respect you're trying to give them.

1:33 I've never touched King's Field, but thanks to Zullie, I'm deeply familiar with this song, and I had no idea what it was.

A song I love from the Soulsborne games is Dark Souls 2 Majula's theme. I could turn that on for hours on loop. It's such a chill vibe.

Since the last time, Robert went further into the Souls iceberg than I expected. Sekiro, even. How can I not respect him?

Every time I hear a piece from the Armored Core series I am amazed, I am impressed. That vocal is no longer human. That vocal is arranged as if it were part of the instruments. That elongated, stretched singing is amazing.

22:48 - I can't help myself but imagine that Robert glimpsed the divine in that moment judging by the look on his face and a slight tilt backwards as if to look to something above.

I love that Marco remembers to include Armored Core in his FromSoft videos, but am consistently disappointed that he never plays 'King Lear' from Armored Core 2. 😢 It's such a good piece, and I'd love to hear his analysis. 🙏

There's a motif is the Shadow of the Erdtree trailer that is VERY similar to Slave Knight Gael's theme.

He's most likely heard Midir's theme himself, but that song alone is good enough to bring Robert back for a whole video

the Soul of Cinder theme is the only piece of music from all the games that genuinely makes me cry on the spot, it’s so good

First time I heard the Plin Plin Plon in Soul of Cinder fight I ran around the battle field to listen to it as long as I could. It has been years since I played DS1. So many memories rushed back through my head. It was a very emotional moment for me and I cried like a baby.

That Firelink Shrine theme from DS3 comes up again for Abyss Walkers and Slave Knight Gael.

The deracine track was giving me serious Ghibli vibes. A little darker but a lot of similar bits.

I really love the kings field song because it just really feels like a mysterious, unforgiving, cryptic, and deceptively simple game. I love just the whole vibe of it so much
