@@V1353 the song definitely leaves a lot for us to try and interpret, which is great. Hopefully we see some cool theory crafting videos soon. The only bad thing about the song, is that they managed to get more story and character development into a 5min song then what they have managed with the game so far, which really shows how bare bones the story in the game has been so far.
Nice write up. I do have a correction though. "Holding steady so get ready for battle Meteron, our resistance is our existence for that we were born" is actually "Holding steady so get ready for battle Meteorn, our resistance, is existence, for battle we were born""
@@V1353 Tbf, there are quite a few hints that it is the same one and that the land is actually a simulation. I wouldn't put it past them to do such, even though NGS is technically PSO3.
This is really the kind of soul I feel like a lot of NGS lacked for a while. Hoping the rough beginning can get turned around into something as special as PSO2 eventually.
ngs needs more of these kinds of events and fights that you can just queue up for and like some traditional dungeons or mission selects or something and less PSE bursts in combat zones
PSO2 base is so looked fondly upon because it is finished, but not many really talk about the development of it as time went on. We'll get there, just as PSO2 base became legendary.
I remember the fear I felt when Dark Falz' health filled back to full and we were all screaming *WHAT?!* Then the lyrics blasted out and someone screamed "WELCOME TO NEW GENESIS." THIS. is what makes NGS. Give us more urgent quests that remind us of PSO2 and we won't complain.
Listening to the lyrics, this isn't just some "yeah it's time to really kick some ass" moment. It's straight up singing about your trials and the loss of memory you suffer, as have all Meteorn. They basically made a theme song preaching your party's refusal to die against something that should otherwise be wiping you out.
Between the excellent orchestration that has such a strong driving melody and beat, the lyrics recounting the story since landing does the amazing job being emotional. Most notably, this phase song is once we break the pocket area and see Central City beneath us. Our new home, our new friends, in danger if we don't stand and fight; together.
Never thought they'd cram so much emotion into a vocal piece with so little story background to work with so far.... I shouldn't be surprised though. It's PSO. :D
Now that I think about it... someone mention that this is the song for us player not other character... so perhaps the story background come from there
Pso2 had extensive story I'm legit sad af by the sheer lack of story in ngs, especially with such an emotional song. How much content did the devs cut to appease the people that were crying about the old pso2 story length...I hope the devs get their act together cuz this is bs. Sorry I'm overly passionate about this 😅 I should go outside or something.
This song is such a mood. It's so personal of a song for what little bit of story we've gotten so far and I feel like it''l only age better as we accomplish more and more as NGS evolves and grows moving forward. But even just now, with just what we have it feels like this isn't Dark Falz's boss music, nah. This is OUR boss theme that Dark Falz hears when it fights US, it's just so badass that we hear it and it pumps us up.
Seriously, the first Phase of the song is the Dark Falz theme, however, once they can no longer fly, and both you and the Boss are on the Platform, the game is like, "Guess the Player is the boss now." seeing that most, if not all the attacks in the second phase look desperate, like it's on its last leg, before it dies.

This is phase 3, actually. Phase 2 happens before the canon fires, then it fires and the boss gets a full health bar and you get to show it that it's not quite enough. Of course, Dark Falz survives, but that just means Round 2 down the line.
@@jgkitarel Of that im aware of course. Cant quite call it Red phase as phase 2 since there's a second healthbar (or im just used to calling a second phase when there's a second lifebar lol) And yes, an eventual round 2 is definitely unavoidable just like how we fought Elder for two separate forms.

This is unbelievable with how much emotion for how honestly underdeveloped Dark Falz was, I was expecting the fight to come a lot later than _Retem_ Though, it'll make sense if it ends up just being the equivalent to Elder, considering the multiple arms
@@neonexus9660 Honestly, im kinda concerned that the entire planet has metal in the caves and ground and mountains, even metal in the trees makes me wonder if the planet is artificial and man made, i mean think about how close all these different biomes are to each other.... that doesn't seem natural. also nobody even knows where the traineeas came from from, or why they have dolls in them for practice but its like... an actual wonder if the planet is a training facility gone wrong.... cuz that "Dark Falz" doesn't remotely look like a darkfalz it just looks like a doll, but if dolls are based on falspawn as training dummies, thats some dark shit if this is all just for training and people are actually damn dying on a tutorial level.
@@vixenxia2475 The planet could as well be the surface of the ARKS Mothership, which is a planet in itself (and from the quests you play inside in PSO2, completely technological on the surface). The biomes are so varied and close to each other because the whole continent the story is set on might have used to be a reserve for wildlife collected by the Oracle fleet, which also explains why PSO2 native species are present on Halpha. I hope we'll be getting some story to bridge the two games honestly, even if the main character isn't the Guardian but some random ass ARKS.
whenever this UQ appear, and come to phase 2... it instantly send a shivers right down to my spine, i feel like fighting the last boss.... that feels to win and conquer it... as ranger main dodge run n blight it feel much more harder than normal UQ. The best OST so far after dark to light especially htpd moment
After listening to this again; the song, in my mind, seems to be our backstory. "I don't remember where, I don't remember how I fell." Something happened to ARKS that may have gotten us nearly killed. My theory is the story is going with either: A. Breath of the Wild backstory (Calamity befell ARKS and we nearly die fighting it) B. Shadow the Hedgehog backstory (AKA Casra was right; ARKS Civil War that seals us away out of fear of our power) Regardless whether either are true or not this song confirms we definitely are the same character from PSO2.
I'm sticking by my theory that this is all a simulation. - The planet is clearly artificial - The DOLLS are similarly entirely technological - The infrastructure of Halpha is a joke, nobody could've survived centuries with a capital city the size of a (small, non-American) shopping mall and a couple of broken facilities - VR training facilities are strewn about the land without rhyme or reason. - Where are all the ships? Each was the size of multiple cities. Just landing them would provide tons of living space and defence against the DOLLS. - Why are our servers still named for the ships? - Stasis and transport never messed with memories before, why now? - Creatures from various different worlds in PSO2 somehow all together on the same planet
@@zephyr8072 na it sounds too simple, feel like Sega would play with the concept just for complexity's sake, for the simulation route I'd go with 'you are also a simulated being based on your PSO2's character battle data, the real Halpha is facing a Dark Falz crisis and they're simulating old ARKS from 1000 years ago to see how they handled the situation and they just got lucky they pulled the Guardian's data', which is why we got more than one Meteorn. Your points open up a lot of discussion but at this point everything is a theory, the story is really underdeveloped :|
@@zephyr8072 I'd just like to point out for one of your points, during the beginning of episode 4, they stated that a possible side effect of being in cryo stasis was memory loss, and it was something they were legitimately worried about. That was for the player being in there for 2 years. It has been 1000 years since then, in New Genesis, and the pods you drop in look suspiciously like cryostasis pods.
In this case it makes sense at least. You're stalling for time, and it's not really a victory more as it is driving it off. Whole New World's the kind of theme for when it's time to truly finish something off.
The first time I did the Dark Falz UQ, and this song dropped as his health refilled, I wasn't even upset that the party had to deplete its health AGAIN, because of this song. It cannot be understated how good that feeling is the first time you hear it.
Honestly best fight we had in a really long time. This was an amazing falz fight and i cant wait to see more......so long as they can keep the lag under control
Gonna be honest, while I miss the New World climax theme we get during boss fights in old Pso2, the new Meteorn Climax theme gave me chills when I heard it X) Dammit, more content can't come soon enough lol
This fight... with this theme song... is just one of the most amazing things I've live in a game, I think. Especially when you know the PS series since the very first and see the references of the ancients episodes, intentionnal or not. Seriously? This is a final boss and Episode fight, not just some new UQ like that. This is so good I can't imagine how good the upcoming bosses will be now. Sega.... awww.
I was hella dissapointed when the health bar went empty without a 3rd phase. Then I went ??? when the arms came in and try to nuke. And when this started playing as Dark Falz space broke? My lack of faith in NGS received a Fomelgion directly to the face. Absolute god tier fight
@@iliketurtles9192 Yeah, the focus they put on the game so far looks misplaced. They got a great base to work on and the game feels fun to play even when grinding, but they're focusing on extra starting content (ex. new classes) and on making current content feel obsolete too quickly so that players need to keep on the grinding if they want to be up to latest (releasing new stronger weapon/armor/augs 1 or 2 months into current patch) Meanwhile all they would need to do is adding in new quests, more things to do, and focus on QoL improvements
What if that was done on purpose? Think of how confused players are about their role within the game, it's almost the same confusion those with Amnesia would face. Perhaps a good idea, that wasn't well executed.
I didn't realize how into the story I was my first play through until I heard this song during the fight. This and that moment after defeating Dark Falz where you're pushed by the spirit of a certain someone into the killing blow both had me a little misty-eyed. Even though it was only a few months ago hearing this again makes me very nostalgic :)
Me, hearing the song for the first time on a stream: "This sound corny." Me, hearing the song the first time fighting (in NGS) Dark Falz: "LET'S FUCKING GO!"
@@SgtTankDempsey Not true at all as far as normal boss themes go, but this is the first big climax theme, which is definitely another level of music NGS hasn't had yet. (Though yeah PSO2 base is full of an insane amount of great music. :) )

This! Frigging THIS! This is what PSO2 is! Epic bombastic music with a kickass fight! Not the crap NGS has got UQ, i mean they're fine and all, but they just feel like you are fighting a big enemy, THIS makes it Feel like PSO2!
Still wish for a Blue burst re release on switch This is nice but I miss the days when Falz actually had a threathening track and story, This song sounds like a hero theme for us instead of a track for the boss, takes me out
I don't know why but this song doesn't resonate with as much as I'd hoped it would. Good song no doubt about that but I really hope this isn't going to be featured in every boss fight going forward like the one in pso2 classic. Could be it feels too western with the english lyrics or that most of my favorite pso2 songs didn't have any lyrics at all
Personally I feel this song is way too corny lol. Like as much as I love PSO2 there were a couple lyrical songs that were corny, but this takes it to a whole new extreme.
This fits very much in context for PC and the meteorns. There is a vast difference of Base PC and NGS PC. Base PC was mostly working alone 99% time, forget to do check-ups to their own health and being too much workaholic NGS PC is way different than base PC considering they have no idea who they are besides remembering their own name and why they came to Halpha and is considered a meteorn just like Manon and the fact PC fights more in unity compared to base PC working 99% of the time alone and shouldering everyone’s burden
@@Plotpurotto How much the lyrics fit the story, doesn't make the way they did this song seem any less corny to me lol. Also to the Guardian's credit, sometimes their allies were right beside them and then as soon as Dark Falz appeared they would just suddenly disappear to who knows where, which made it seem strange that we kept getting lectured on doing everything ourselves, when our allies were the ones that tended to just suddenly leave when we needed them most.
@@mr_mykal : In general I find lyrical songs in games to be games embracing what they are and why we love them in the first place instead of shying away from it. I do think it works best in situations where you really know where you stand (like good vs. evil) as opposed to stories or events that lean more toward thoughtful or insightful.

Holding steady, so get ready for battle, Meteron

Ever striding, are we
Orchestral
Innocence, It's my journey to perceive
common sense, Give me something to believe.
I don’t remember when
I don’t remember how I fell
I can see only half way through the dark
Memory is a fire that needs a spark
If you remember when, if you remember how
Just cover up the void in my heart
Cover me I will cover you
I know tomorrow leads us on, in every way
The past has flown (the past has flown)
Over the edge, and the paths along the sea
The battle has grown, we’re all we can be
There is truth, there is right
That’s the only thing we know
And the way we show we are enrolled in the minute
Live, like we’re in it, to the end
And when the battle seems long
We solider on, we will defend (Fight for this world)
Holding steady, so get ready for battle, Meteron
Our resistance is our existence
For battle we were born,
We hope for tomorrow, our purpose we borrow
It’s the light of this mission seeing us to the dawn
Holding steady, so get ready for battle, Meteron
Heat and fire we desire
To battle we are sworn
Ever burning, ever yearning
Ever learning, we’ll always be
Are you siding with me?
Ever striding, are we
Orchestral
There’s a wall to surroundings that exist
Can’t recall, but it’s something that I miss
I don’t remember why, I don’t remember who I am.
I’m alive, I’ll fulfill a plan unknown
I revive a belief I’m not alone
If you remember why, if you remember who,
This curious adventurer is
Talk to me, I will talk to you
The joy of living coupled with uncertainty
It’s hard to face (It's hard to face)
But with the dreams, and the home you share with us
We found our place, and someone to trust
There is strength, there is might
That’s the only road we choose
And the way we bruise all of the ones who oppose us
Everyone knows us, we are strong
We come together in heart, a work of art
We all belong (Fight for this world)
Holding steady, so get ready for battle, Meteron
Our resistance is our existence
For battle we were born
We hope for tomorrow, our purpose we borrow
It’s the light of this mission seeing us to the dawn
Holding steady, so get ready for battle, Meteron
Heat and fire we desire

The biomes are so varied and close to each other because the whole continent the story is set on might have used to be a reserve for wildlife collected by the Oracle fleet, which also explains why PSO2 native species are present on Halpha.
I hope we'll be getting some story to bridge the two games honestly, even if the main character isn't the Guardian but some random ass ARKS.
@@vixenxia2475 Then what the hell are the ALTERS?
whenever this UQ appear, and come to phase 2... it instantly send a shivers right down to my spine, i feel like fighting the last boss.... that feels to win and conquer it... as ranger main dodge run n blight it feel much more harder than normal UQ. The best OST so far after dark to light especially htpd moment
Legit had a tear at the 1st few secs of this song playing
This song made the final phase epic
After listening to this again; the song, in my mind, seems to be our backstory. "I don't remember where, I don't remember how I fell." Something happened to ARKS that may have gotten us nearly killed. My theory is the story is going with either:
A. Breath of the Wild backstory (Calamity befell ARKS and we nearly die fighting it)
B. Shadow the Hedgehog backstory
(AKA Casra was right; ARKS Civil War that seals us away out of fear of our power)
Regardless whether either are true or not this song confirms we definitely are the same character from PSO2.
I'm sticking by my theory that this is all a simulation.
- The planet is clearly artificial
- The DOLLS are similarly entirely technological
- The infrastructure of Halpha is a joke, nobody could've survived centuries with a capital city the size of a (small, non-American) shopping mall and a couple of broken facilities
- VR training facilities are strewn about the land without rhyme or reason.
- Where are all the ships? Each was the size of multiple cities. Just landing them would provide tons of living space and defence against the DOLLS.
- Why are our servers still named for the ships?
- Stasis and transport never messed with memories before, why now?
- Creatures from various different worlds in PSO2 somehow all together on the same planet
@@zephyr8072 na it sounds too simple, feel like Sega would play with the concept just for complexity's sake, for the simulation route I'd go with 'you are also a simulated being based on your PSO2's character battle data, the real Halpha is facing a Dark Falz crisis and they're simulating old ARKS from 1000 years ago to see how they handled the situation and they just got lucky they pulled the Guardian's data', which is why we got more than one Meteorn.
Your points open up a lot of discussion but at this point everything is a theory, the story is really underdeveloped :|
I'm just hoping it's not a FFX version and we're long dead that would be depressing.
@@zephyr8072 I'd just like to point out for one of your points, during the beginning of episode 4, they stated that a possible side effect of being in cryo stasis was memory loss, and it was something they were legitimately worried about. That was for the player being in there for 2 years. It has been 1000 years since then, in New Genesis, and the pods you drop in look suspiciously like cryostasis pods.
B is something I always thought about too, good thinking!
Sad there's not a Whole New World victory lap at the end, but it was nice to hear the PSO1 Dark Falz theme worked in.
hopefully they do add them in later climatic tracks. They have whole new world playing in aelio city.
In this case it makes sense at least. You're stalling for time, and it's not really a victory more as it is driving it off. Whole New World's the kind of theme for when it's time to truly finish something off.
The first time I did the Dark Falz UQ, and this song dropped as his health refilled, I wasn't even upset that the party had to deplete its health AGAIN, because of this song. It cannot be understated how good that feeling is the first time you hear it.
For the victory, for Aelio town!
I love the Idola sounding theme's so much! T^T
Yayyyy. Lyric boss songs are back.
Like Poison Spear and Blue on the Run!
Right
more to come hopefully
@@jettthespeeddemon3884 Aw fuck yeah those songs hit hard.
Lets go Arks! The adventure awaits us!
This is why I love PSO2!
i recently hit the required BP and entered this UQ and holy sh*t this song... i just had to search it up man
The EQ happened jsut now.... this part ish so epic and I can't even DPS right XD
Honestly best fight we had in a really long time. This was an amazing falz fight and i cant wait to see more......so long as they can keep the lag under control
when the song slap harder than lv200 Sodam
Or Lv999 Masq
Gonna be honest, while I miss the New World climax theme we get during boss fights in old Pso2, the new Meteorn Climax theme gave me chills when I heard it X)
Dammit, more content can't come soon enough lol
いよいよ明後日！(*´꒳`*)テンション上がってきた！
This fight... with this theme song... is just one of the most amazing things I've live in a game, I think. Especially when you know the PS series since the very first and see the references of the ancients episodes, intentionnal or not. Seriously? This is a final boss and Episode fight, not just some new UQ like that. This is so good I can't imagine how good the upcoming bosses will be now.
Sega.... awww.
I got actual chillz when this song played.
Music starts "You are 1000 years too early to even hope to beat me"
"Lock-On System is being an a-hole again but you're so hyped by the battle you can't even speak" theme
Lol i never use lock system against dark falz except using force class. I'll get seizure for sure lmao.
I was hella dissapointed when the health bar went empty without a 3rd phase. Then I went ??? when the arms came in and try to nuke. And when this started playing as Dark Falz space broke? My lack of faith in NGS received a Fomelgion directly to the face.
Absolute god tier fight
Also, this is not Dark Falz theme, it's ours!
I'm so glad to be alive!
SEGA: *underdevelops NGS's story quests*
Also SEGA: *places character development in songs*
did they hire the geniuses behind MGR:R's soundtrack wtf
I swear, SEGA Puts all their Budget in their Songs.
I wish they'd put as much effort into the ngs story...
@@iliketurtles9192 Yeah, the focus they put on the game so far looks misplaced.
They got a great base to work on and the game feels fun to play even when grinding, but they're focusing on extra starting content (ex. new classes) and on making current content feel obsolete too quickly so that players need to keep on the grinding if they want to be up to latest (releasing new stronger weapon/armor/augs 1 or 2 months into current patch)
Meanwhile all they would need to do is adding in new quests, more things to do, and focus on QoL improvements
What if that was done on purpose? Think of how confused players are about their role within the game, it's almost the same confusion those with Amnesia would face. Perhaps a good idea, that wasn't well executed.
@@MrAnarchyMarine hats off to Sega if they're actually trying to do something like this honestly
My fellows Arks, I'm here to say one thing: I'm so glad this song is in Spotify! Though I still need Dark to Light there too.
This theme finally confirmed one thing for me:
SEGA has this all planned out. They're *not* just "winging it" as they go (with the NGS story).
Always have been, it just they tend to think their current contents is enough to make people occupy
'course they have, the 'fight for this world' refrain has been in the Retem battle theme since the region was launched
I didn't realize how into the story I was my first play through until I heard this song during the fight. This and that moment after defeating Dark Falz where you're pushed by the spirit of a certain someone into the killing blow both had me a little misty-eyed.
Even though it was only a few months ago hearing this again makes me very nostalgic :)
I want this awasome song in my Mag!!!!
Ngl this is a banger
More bosses like this please, the music is great as always.
This sounds like ARKS Defender National Anthem
ah yes the dark falz elder hahaha always reminds of the fight before...like the old days
Man i really wish i liked ngs more... Doing this with my alliance for the first time was so cool.
Peeps keep saying it looks like elder but it actually looks closer to persona.
Lookin' cool Joker
CZcams erased my thumbs up bro. but here i go again.
We could've finished the dark falz off for our selves... But then we just let Crawford fire his big gun. xD
Just one lack from this...
, they forgot to put the "whole new world" in the end of this bgm...
Me, hearing the song for the first time on a stream: "This sound corny."
Me, hearing the song the first time fighting (in NGS) Dark Falz: "LET'S FUCKING GO!"
*Dark Falz:* WHY DO I HEAR BOSS MUSIC?!
This theme, is epic. Like, ultra epic.
the meteorn moment Théo 💀💀
Édit I meant tho
This song slaps harder than Dark Falz.
Finally good boss music in NGS
Nex is good
Uh....the game has a fuck-ton of good boss tracks?
@@optimaltt6070 Back in PSO2 not NGS
@@SgtTankDempsey Not true at all as far as normal boss themes go, but this is the first big climax theme, which is definitely another level of music NGS hasn't had yet.
(Though yeah PSO2 base is full of an insane amount of great music. :) )
@@SgtTankDempsey again, fucking no. Field, Raid and story bosses have incredible music. The Retem region alone has like...3-4 good ones.
NGS Strike Back, When This Kicking In at Last Phase " Goosebumps " Feel Like We're True Hero, Especially If You Play at a Personal Home Theatre & Use Cinematic Bass & Treble With Big Volume, Best Experience Ever xD Bet NGS Actually Had Something in Their Sleeves to Surprise Us More Later, It's Look Like They Holding Up & Keep The Big Gun for Later xD
This gets me so hype while im bullying dark falz
god what absolute fucking fire
ah time to come back to the game.
You got that 1.8k BP yet vro?
Game may be a mess,but they still nailing it with the music
Cool fight song let's go!!
This is it!
nice
man i wish this was on spotify i cant find it
Maravillosa
Is there anyone can write down the lyrics?
Over the Universe episode 2
Definite Over the Universe vibes among others.
i will use this music for Default NGS Characters, not Based return.
I thought I was playing Phantasy Star, not FFXIV!
Jokes aside this song is so DELICIOUSLY GREAT.
all the dodge mechanic right? really need to remind myself that I don't need to backflip to safety lol
Just how many freaking vocal songs are there in PSO2? Just when I thought I'd discover them all, out comes more out of nowhere.
i hope that boss is not Garoa
Dark Falz Himbo
Would be cool if someone had the lyrics for this
The only epic boss battle in ngs.
and Aegis is Far More Epic
and the chaotic nature of VAs here and there while we battles Dark Falz Aegis while also dodging Its Laser is so intense to the point i feel like i was in there
Who sings for pso2 I always love the songs
Singer is Aimee Blackschleger
Does anyone know the datafile name for this version?
What outfit is that character wearing?? I need
That be the school outfit coming next week, 23rd
wait for someone post lyrics..
Holding steady, so get ready for battle, Meteron
[In a fire](?) we desire to battle, we are sworn
Ever burning, ever yearning, ever learning, we’ll always be
Are you siding with me? Ever shining, are we
(Orchestra Instrumental)
Innocence is my journey to perceive
[Calm and sense/common sense], give me something to believe
I don’t remember where
I don’t remember how I fell
I can see only half way through the dark
Memory is the fire they’ll need to spark
If you remember where if you remember how
Just cover up the void in my heart
Cover me, I will cover you
I know tomorrow leads us on in every way
The past is flown (the past is flown)
Over the edge and the past
Along the sea the battle has grown
We’re all we can be
There is truth, there is right
That’s the only thing we know
And the way we show we are
Enrolled the minute, feel like we’re in it ‘til the end
And when the battle seems long, we soldier on
We will defend (fight for this world)
Holding steady, so get ready for battle, Meteron
Our resistance is existence for that we were born
We hope for tomorrow our purpose we borrow
It’s the light of this mission seeing us to the dawn
Holding steady, so get ready for battle, Meteron
[In a fire](?) we desire to battle, we are sworn
Ever burning, ever yearning, ever learning, we’ll always be
Are you siding with me? Ever shining, are we
(Orchestra Instrumental)
There’s a wall to surroundings that exist
Can’t recall, but it’s something that I miss
I don’t remember why, I don’t remember who I am
I’m alive, I’ll fulfill a plan unknown
I revive, a belief I’m not alone
If you remember why, if you remember how
This curious adventure is teaching me, I will talk to you
The joy of living, coupled with uncertainty
It’s hard to face (it’s hard to face)
But with the dreams and the home you share with us
We found our place and someone to trust
There is strength, there is light
That’s the only world we choose
And the way we bruise all of
The ones with who oppose us
Everyone knows us, we are strong
We come together in harm, where we'll confide
We all belong (Fight for this world)
Holding steady, so get ready for battle, Meteron
Our resistance is existence for that we were born
We hope for tomorrow our purpose we borrow
It’s the light of this mission seeing us to the dawn
Holding steady, so get ready for battle, Meteron
[In a fire](?), we desire to battle, we are sworn
Ever burning, ever yearning, ever learning, we’ll always be
Are you siding with me? Ever shining, are we
Hold fate in your hands, go it is our destiny-ooohh
(Orchestra Instrumental)
(Repeat from beginning)
Holding steady, woah
So get ready, woah
Holding steady, woah
So get ready, woah
Anything in brackets I wasn't sure about, but I'm confident most of this is right. I struggle with auditory processing, so I hope too many aren't too wrong.
@Michael L. Bowie give this man a goddamn medal
@@mr_mykal iirc, it's Meteorn (JP)... or perhaps it's Meteron in GLB?
thanks for the lyrics though...
[In a fire] = In the fire
we are sworn = we as one
My guesses tho...
@@mr_mykal You should post this as a separate comment, so that people can like it and it will pop up top.
Wait what!?! How you get access to this already????
Dataminers
the game recently had a 3 GB big update for the Feb 2022 content, and the upcoming stuff ended up being inside the data as well, easy for dataminers to scan the files and extract this, as well as icons, images and other visual stuff like weapons, items, cosmetics and more.
Datamine powers let us know lots. 👀
@@VixyNyan Got a link to the dataminers?
@@TheMarlz2 fleet discord normally has all the datmined stuff posted
This! Frigging THIS!
This is what PSO2 is!
Epic bombastic music with a kickass fight!
Not the crap NGS has got UQ, i mean they're fine and all, but they just feel like you are fighting a big enemy, THIS makes it Feel like PSO2!
Who's the person in the picture?
A new NPC that was revealed just today, the render must be from a future login bouns screen and they got it from data minig.
I forgot her name she will become NPC for seasonal quest if i am not wrong.
Sounds like one of those newer anime songs where they’re trying too hard and fail.
Everyone pumped cause they think the song is about us.
Ya'll gonna be crushed when it turns out to be about Manon.
You tried 😂
@@kalonem5719 technically they are correct. Manon is a Meteron so this song would apply to her too.
@@TenSquare3 she has her memories we don't, clearly they say lack of memories in the lyrics.
@@kalonem5719 all meterons are missing memories, none of them remember anything before landing
@@TenSquare3 except Manon
this on spotify?
Invisible lyrics, pls channel owner.
BMG lmao
Fingers am I right
@@TheAudioVisiphonePSO2 good on you for fixing it :)
Still wish for a Blue burst re release on switch
This is nice but I miss the days when Falz actually had a threathening track and story, This song sounds like a hero theme for us instead of a track for the boss, takes me out
Well, to be fair, this IS the first story boss that has the name "Dark Falz". And the beginning of the story.
NGS is a broke man finale fantasy
Bro don't you DARE compare NGS to Final Fantasy. Dang no respect for Final Fantasy I swear.
I don't know why but this song doesn't resonate with as much as I'd hoped it would. Good song no doubt about that but I really hope this isn't going to be featured in every boss fight going forward like the one in pso2 classic. Could be it feels too western with the english lyrics or that most of my favorite pso2 songs didn't have any lyrics at all
Virgin meteorn's song fan
Vs
Chad Battle Stars Enjoyer
Cringe
Personally I feel this song is way too corny lol. Like as much as I love PSO2 there were a couple lyrical songs that were corny, but this takes it to a whole new extreme.
This fits very much in context for PC and the meteorns.
There is a vast difference of Base PC and NGS PC.
Base PC was mostly working alone 99% time, forget to do check-ups to their own health and being too much workaholic
NGS PC is way different than base PC considering they have no idea who they are besides remembering their own name and why they came to Halpha and is considered a meteorn just like Manon and the fact PC fights more in unity compared to base PC working 99% of the time alone and shouldering everyone’s burden
@@Plotpurotto How much the lyrics fit the story, doesn't make the way they did this song seem any less corny to me lol. Also to the Guardian's credit, sometimes their allies were right beside them and then as soon as Dark Falz appeared they would just suddenly disappear to who knows where, which made it seem strange that we kept getting lectured on doing everything ourselves, when our allies were the ones that tended to just suddenly leave when we needed them most.
PSO2 has always been campy and corny, I think they should continue to embrace it. I love this, I'm eating it up, lol.
@@mr_mykal : In general I find lyrical songs in games to be games embracing what they are and why we love them in the first place instead of shying away from it.
I do think it works best in situations where you really know where you stand (like good vs. evil) as opposed to stories or events that lean more toward thoughtful or insightful.
What's wrong with that?
