Analyzing Dark Falz Solus's BGM - PSO2NGS Melody

- Despite not having a single cutscene or dialogue, the Dark Falz Solus OST takes us on a journey that plays wonderfully to the main story of NGS.
To streamline the process of making these Melody videos I decided to edit the video myself this time around. If you have any suggestions on how to improve them we'd love to hear them!

You did a really good job syncing up the music, the commentary and the footage! Daddy Zephetto is very proud of you today.
Also, I didn't even realize that it does a reprisal of Trinitas! Whoever composed this is a genius for including that here.
👻👻
The real genius here is your script, ghost writer 👻 (Of course Cathy's editing is tight as always too!)
Allie and Cathy *score* another great song video yet again! I really dig the solus theme and even though i personally havnt fought it *cough too busy in cs cough*, they did a great job on this piece, and you both broke down the different parts of the song wonderfully! Looking forward to the next one! Keep up the good work and give allie a ghost cookie from me 😂 🍪 👻
Glad you decided to continue with this series! I really enjoy analyzing music and enjoying the little details :)
Also, interesting fact, at 7:49, right before Dark to Light reprise, there is kind of another reprise: The Song from Slayer Class Promo; more specifically, the part of the promo right after "RISE UP" phrase; I think it is kind of an interesting reference :) I interpret this reprise followed by Dark to Light's as an attempt to transition into a new future while honoring the past; "Rising up to restore our former glory".
Now, regarding the video format, I think it's mostly fine :) Though maybe including some sort of avatar that's easier to edit in so that Ali (hope that's how her name is spelled) appears alongside your character in the videos to make some commentary would be nice; perhaps wearing some sort of mask to make character lip sync irrelevant (since no lips :v)
I think adding game footage in the background was a really nice touch! c: Though the pepe Symbol Art kinda felt a bit weird o:
As for how the song was dissected, I think it was nice overall! Admittingly hard since the overall duration of the video is affected by how much you decide to go in detail; but I think something in between how you did it for the first video, and how you did it for this one, might improve the format a little tiny bit (but tending more towards how you did it this time -nicely done! Though I guess it depends on how long the song is-; kinda abstract, I know, but hope it's somehow useful to you :D); perhaps adding some titles/parts that describe each section of the song can also help in some way 🤔
Not sure if adding the small portions of the other songs referenced in the video would also help or not 🤔Guess it depends.
Aside from that, It comes to putting together something you are both satisfied with o: Looking forward to your next video in this series :) And sorry about my weird feedback and the wall of text x) Hope it helps in some way, but feel free to disregard it if you find it silly; Am just throwing in some ideas o:
That's a lot of great feedback!
The unreleased Melody episode that we ended up scrapping did feature both me and Allie so maybe we were on a good track with that afterall!
now i have a reason to turn on my BGM when playing
I have barely watched the first few minutes, but I had to stop to comment. Absolutely fantastic analysis! Please do more of these!
i actuall think this uses leitmotifs from several dark falz enemies. you pointed out dark to light, the beginning of phase 2 sounds similar to death place (esca fals mother's theme, though originally from phantasy star 2), and i've seen people compare phase 1 to apprentice's theme.
Apprentice theme would definitely fit too considering this Falz kind of has bug-like features! Though outside of the vocalist sounding similarly to Omega Apprentice's fight i don't see much of a melodic connection myself.
Great job on this video, loved it. I share same opinion of this be my favorite boss music to date.
Thank you! ❤
you give me reason to do Solus weekly top of SG reward
Watching this i realized there's alot of things I missed with this ear worm, or maybe I just didn't do enough Sodam/PRD in classic to pick up on the reprisal.
Reprisals are very subtle and usually not easy to pick up on. I know Dark Falz Elder has a reprise of Dark Falz from PSO, Luther a reprise of Olga Flow, DF Mother a reprise of Mother from PSIV, etc.
Another thing that keeps coming to my mind about the Sodam motif though, is what if this is subtle foreshadowing from the composer? What if, say, that the Starless suddenly appeared to fill the void in darkness left by the defeat of the Profound Darkness, or if the Guardian doing so affected the timeline enough that they existed instead of the PD? It would also fit in with the theme of light vs. dark that many games do by providing balance to keep the two sides in check.
@@moofey that might explain why they only show up once every 500 years. The balance between light and dark swings so much in favor of light after 500 years that they need to show up, commit mass genocide and balance things out again.
Shiva Next ? Maybe
