Saileach was a standard-bearer for Victoria until seeing the rampant corruption of its aristocracy, where she quit and threw away her medals. Arknights has a certain type of character who represents the ideals of their nation or other faction that as a collective fails to live up to those ideals, and Saileach is just such an idealist. She's a community-builder and a natural-born leader with such strong empathy that when she's condemned with rocks by a scapegoated people she's trying to help, she uses that ostracism to reflect on her own naivety and gain more perspective on how to help people. Just think about that: she becomes stronger and kinder after being on the receiving end of unjust violence, with compassion bordering on madness, because her ideals are that strong. The current arc in Arknights, which starts in chapter 9 where Saileach is one of the main characters, is all about the disparity between Victoria as a corrupt superpower founded on scapegoating (with the Tarans) and its ideals that are borne out by a few disillusioned, golden-hearted exemplars: Saileach and Horn especially. Saileach's theme conveys the hope and joy she imparts on those she touches. After the events of chapter 9, she sticks around the war-torn region after most of the forces have been evacuated, and builds a community from the ground up with bereaved people who would have given in to despair, mutual distrust, and starvation were it not for her kindness and resourcefulness. Despite her idealism, she has a good head on her shoulders, a keen understanding of what must be done and how to make it happen-such as how to teach people to provide for themselves-, which allows her to make her ideals a reality one bettered life at a time. And, despite her disillusionment, Saileach still loves Victoria; it is just that love that made her quit the military and throw away her medals in disgust for the vultures who would tarnish and bury Victoria's ideals. Though, chapter 11 and the recent event What the Firelight Casts go on to challenge whether those ideals ever existed in the first place, or whether they merely emerge from good people who want to fight injustice with all they've got, people who inevitably crop up wherever there is injustice. None of the big nations in Arknights have clean slates, but they all have their idealists who see what their beloved nation could be, and who demonstrate with their own kindness and resourcefulness a little slice of what things could be like if everyone adhered to those ideals. This song, with its almost fairy tale folk song-esque pure-hearted atmosphere, represents the world Saileach works for. She's untouched by corruption, and with how uplifting the song is, you can kind of feel that her kindness is just as infectious and moving as the corruption she rallies against.
The national anthem vibe of the song is such a great thematic fit for a character who is literally a standard bearer for her country’s army. At least until she throws the flag at someone, that is.
I don't know anything about this game, but I'm Irish and can tell you this is clearly a VERY Irish inspired character. Her name means Willow in Irish (as in the tree) and the music is incredibly characteristic of Ireland. Her banner shown in other artworks I've seen after discovering this video and character have a very similar design and colour scheme to the Irish coat of arms. So if you're feeling patriotic listening to this you're showing love to the emerald isle of Éire.
@@Pine2142 Well, you're actually right. Her real name is Jane Willow and she referenced it as in the willow tree too and story wise she's the one who stands for the Tarans (Tara is Ireland in Arknights which is a by gone country absorbed by Victoria, which is England in Arknights, leaving behind only the descendants and dying language of Tara) when they faced against prejudice and racism from the Victorian army despite herself being in the Victorian army. Being a Victorian soldier made the Tarans despise her where they throw rocks and dirt at her even tho her means are well. Yet she still defends them cuz she loves Victoria and the Tarans are also Victorians hence, this song
@@Pine2142I love that it comes through clearly to even someone who doesn’t play the game! They seem to do their research. In fact Saileach plays a starring role in a chapter meant to evoke Bloody Sunday. It’s really been quite fascinating as a reader to see the way that Arknights informs its stories in real culture and history but rather than copy it wholesale tells a truly creative scifi story with it.
This piece, Bagpipe's theme and Horn's theme all feel like a trilogy of Victorian anthems. Bagpipe's is about the simplicity of life in Victoria, Saileach's is about how Victoria will always be your home, and Horn's is about how you shouldn't mess with Victoria or her people.
There's actually a lot of people who loves Arknights music but never played Arknights. -from a Touhou fan that also never played any Official Touhou games
This song perfectly illustrates the idealism of our dear standard bearer, Saileach. It makes a nice contrast with the other track from our other Victorian operator, Horn, whose theme espouses an image of an unfliching, unyielding Victoria. Again, its a nice contrast with this all loving, protecting Victoria, but put together, they create this image of Victoria, whose kind mannerisms and gentle demeanor hide a core of iron. Silk hiding steel, as it were. Now, the Doctors among us will know that this is very much NOT the Victoria that appears in the game, the 'real' Victoria, as it were. But this is the Victoria that both Saileach and Horn believe in, and all the remains is to see if the Victorians (and Tarans) will be able to make such a Victoria a reality.
If you haven't already, I highly recommend "March On" too! It's an amazing song that's also themed around Victoria but with it's own style to it. If this song could be considered the gentleness and homeliness of Victoria, then March On is a representation of its pride and strength. At least imo
I like this song a lot, I love how Arknights manages to encapsulate so much of the context surrounding each of its tracks and the incredible diversity it has in its soundtrack, be it character themes like this one for Saileach, story/cutscenes or events, they're all full of heart and intention to add to its context. Another reason this is my favorite Gacha/mobile game I've ever played.
fun fact, Saileach (the girl on the video) is Irish for Willow, and her real name is Jane Willow. after all, Victoria is the AK equivalent for United Kingdom ... with alteration.
Like I said, with alteration, though IDK if the Irish or "Taran" People mentioned in the game includes whole Ireland, or just the Northern Ireland like IRL.
@@Pine2142 Cause Victoria is suppose to be based on the UK before the Irish revolt. Though Chapter 9 and the side story "What the Firelight Casts" is about their version of the Irish in open revolt
@@einsUNDcoltWell, yes and no. In the game, Victoria already have enough international influence that Victorian is practically the international language, yet there aren't any mentions of its colonialism era at the same level as British colonialism (though their golden age of steam industrial revolution seem to be written having about the same effect to their RL counterpart). HG seems to like to make a country an amalgamation and/or loose references from real life countries or the same country but from different governments (though this isn't new in fiction); Yan isn't exactly modern China, more like what if Chinese movies (the old martial art movies and Hong Kong noir movies) dramatisation of China is the real one. Sargon is a lot of countries and places, from middle east, south America, to sub-Saharan Africa. Kazdel is even more ambiguous, having reference from HRE to biblical Israel
Hey Marco, happy to see some Arknights content from you. If you want to hear something more exotic out of the game, then I can recommend the battle theme of the current event "Where Vernal Winds will never blow". It has a very oriental feeling to it and is fun to listen to.
Listening to this song makes me feel like Saileach is showing me around Victoria, and as we walk around the streets, i can feel how fondly she thinks of this city through her words, walking every corner she describes a funny story, a memory, a store with a very good tea, a friend here and there... I feel not like this is "my" home, but like i am being warmly welcomed into "her" home.
The world of Arknights is a hard dangerous, and tragic world a lot of the time, makes these types of hopeful and uplifting songs just that much more a breath of release, that there is some place to come back to.
Saileach is the Didney Hydra (her E2 art) Princess of Arknights, so by those conventional tropes she's both the princess *and* the villain, even if her character is very pure and WAFF.
Aside from the patriotism, after reading chapter 9 and Saileach’s development in it, I’ve never been able to also see this as what she knows her country isn’t, but still wishes it could be.
I guess you either had very good mood when recorded this or really like this song, lol Your vibing at the music makes me smile. Aslo kinda resembles orchestra conductor in your moves. Ah yes, a hug from Victoria. You showed this piece to one of your guests in reaction videos, but it's finally our time to see you vibing) Have pretty much nothing to add. Loving this song, and knowing the context hasn't really changed that. It makes me feel patriotic for Victoria, but I would not eager to become her citizen as of now, heh. Now we just need to wait till you get to the most Irish ones, from the "What the Firelight Casts" event. Lobby theme and battle theme both, as well as "Flame Shadow" - song for a character, and the singer is already known to you. And as a usual for most Arknights songs - they all great, but for different reasons) Cheers, Marco
With the "idealistic" character's theme under your belt, I'd recommend following it up with Horn's EP, March On, which depicts Victoria's militaristic side more directly, and Stainless's Stainless Heart, which renders what it feels like to be a cog in the machine under it all. Even without the other Victorian characters and their themes, these three, to me, depict Victoria as a nation brilliantly. It can be a shining beacon of hope, while also having deep shadows and exploits the people under its rule. Arknights manages to paint the world through both its characters and their music, so that it often feels like you know what this character, this region, is about from a short EP alone.
Hey Marco! I'm a bit late to the party, but as you enjoyed Toward Her Light so much, you may also enjoy Falme Shadow, it's also from a Victorian operator called "Reed" and both the music and lyrics are gorgeous and uplifting!
I see all the variety of game ost you listen to and suprised you havent touched on Tekkens soundtrack yet. Tekken 5, 6, tag 2, and 7 have bangers you might like
If you need suggestions my personal favorites are Volcano 1st and 2nd from tekken 7 Kazumi and Devil kazumi from tekken 7 Moonlit wilderness from tekken 5 Heat haze shadow 1st and 2nd from tekken 7 National museum from tekken mobile Ground zero funk from tekken 5 Abandoned temple final 1st and 2nd from tekken 7 Electric fountain from tekken 6 Plucking tulips from tekken tag tournament 2
I highly recommend every single track from divinity original sin 2 , trust me you won't regret to listen that amazing game song and it worth every single penny
I like this song. Settling however in Victoria of Arknights is not. The song is actually what Saileach envisioned about Victoria but it was not, sadly.
Question... Which of the nations in Terra would be the best to settle in??? Since from what we experienced each and every one of them have goid and shady sides... Esp. in the perspective of the Infected...
@@ChaosMind10531 Sargon Forest maybe. If you want to get away from politics (technicaly the Tribes there have politics but not as ... "complicated" as other countries. For the time being at least)
@@ChaosMind10531 as for me, it would be Siesta, the equivalent of Hawaii maybe. I mean, the problems of Siesta is not the infected but the volcano and the seaborns. Volcano is just a natural problem, so is the seaborns because no land is safe to them. It is hinted in the alternate simulation of Mizuki that Seaborns triumphed over the demons of Sami.
@@suverin007 lol... So its either Lovecraftian monsters, the friggin volcano, or actual demons that ends you, but at least you have a beach side view and sunny skies... XD
When Western games can only depict rainbow flags and DEI platitudes, a Chinese company composes a song that captures the spirit of the "good Old days" in Ye olden England.
@@Petterwass Well, do you know the story of Ustasha and Chetnik? They, too, began with resistance against invaders and slayers. And today, no one calls them the Liberation Army except for the person concerned.
I think you should listen to the Medieval II Total War soundtrack, perhaps 'Duke of Death.' It's a great piece and the most famous one, it immediately fills you with tension, creating a battlefield-like feeling that lasts until the end.
The contrast between the songs upbeat and positiv look upon Victoria and what is actually happening to/in Victoria starting from Chapter 9 is actually quite surprising.
Hey Marco the new 4.0 genshin trailer just dropped with the livestream. You should definitely do a reaction as the setting and themes within Fontaine seem right up your alley
@MarcoMeatball please please pretty please listen to “End of Golden Wind (Fine Della Vento Aureo) from JoJo’s. And huge thanks for giving gamermusic such a stage where actual music complexity can be discussed not just “ bruh its from a game” ❤❤❤
