Assassin's Creed ||
Ahh best intro ever
ah yes... the famous last words
YES. This theme has been adapted to other installments but this right here still hits different.
Yep still the best
I want to see him react to this theme in Assassin's creed rogue
The only reuse of this that is even close to an equal footing is rogues version
No other version of the song hits like that first tower you climb in Florence🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏
For someone reason i think the AC Mirage version one would also be a decent one with that arabic/middle eastern flavour
You're not listening to the track, but rather live in it. What a feeling!
❤️
Thats exactly what im doing everytime i listen to this masterpiece, im living inside of that world ❤
Music like this is a part of why the Ezio games are still among my favourite video games ever. A certified hood classic, thank you for giving it the recognition it deserves
Yeah Ezio really did define Assassin's Creed.
A HOOD classic you say
@@thenotoriousguy yes
ezio trilogy will always be my favourite, followed by black flag, assassins creed 3/unity.
while all of the assassin's creed games have amazing worlds to explore. non of the stories hit me quite like ezio's. it did help that he had 3 games to cover his story though.
The ost, era, characters, etc is incredible.
I will remember that game forever.
The feelings that Ezio's family gives us is a feeling of nostalgia and sadness, sorrow and determination it tells you about the downfall of a young man's life that happened overnight and how a chain of events was set in motion for this young man to seek revenge, retribution answers and the truth.
Maybe i didn't express this in the best way, but i wanna say about this piece of art: "may it never change"
"And may it never change us"
@Yvessaint Lowrank and revelations
@Yvessaint Lowrank sadly most other protagonists would never get this treatment from their birth to death. That’s why Ezio really hits different. Ubisoft wouldn’t have the balls to have a 3-game protagonists anymore.
@@memoxxi I really wish Bayek to have his own trilogy. Of all AC protagonists, he's one of the most interesting to be expanded.
OH MAN. This song. Brotherhood was my first game. I went around a friends house and he had it on his ps3. I had to get it myself straight away after that and it became my favourite series at the time. Played all of them and man this song will never leave me. Such a beautiful, epic and iconic piece. Jesper kyd is such an amazing artist.
He uploaded this 5hrs ago, this says this comment was posted 2 weeks ago, which one is it??
@@totallynotrifty it was unlisted before. Patrons and YT subs/members sometimes getting early access as perk 😉
@@xLeenix oh ok
I was about to say, do you own a DeLorean?
almost the same situation for me. It was my dad though, This game and what it has brought to me will never leave and I will remember it until the day I die.
This song is so good that other installments of assassins creed can't help but use it again and again. Even having the context to the song just adds to the experience too.
Family is not just about the blood that flows through your veins being the same as that of those around you. Brotherhood is the epicenter of it all. The Assassin's Brotherhood are as much Family as Ezio's mother, sister and brothers by birth are. Even long before he picks up his hidden blade.......that Family exists, waiting to embrace him.
It's basically become the series' theme as a whole because the entire Brotherhood IS Ezio's family. He lost most of his biological family, and gained a family of choice.
You know the music hits different when he makes only one stop to talk about the music 😂
😂
I think the thing I like about this track the most is that this is the theme of the entire Brotherhood. "Ezio's Family" isn't just his immediate family, no, Ezio's Family is the entire brotherhood of Assassins. The whole brotherhood, with its many branches, is Ezio's Family.
AC2 holds a special place in my heart even though Unity's my personal favorite. And man was I so hype when this music kicked in in the trailer for Mirage!
PS: I hope you'll listen to more AC tracks. There's so many good ones throughout the entire series, like, even though the last few games haven't really been 'AC' yet their tracks are still amazing.
On the subject of other AC tracks, the main theme of AC3 has always hit different for me for some reason
Check out AC Valhalla’s Wrath of the Druids OST. Specifically the songs that have Julie Fowlis singing in Gaelic. It’s angelic and absolutley mind blowing, because it still sounds traditional and true to the culture. Her songs and this song are my absolute favorites in the AC series.
We are Ezio's Brotherhood
Jesper Kyd is such a good composer. Every time I see he made the soundtrack for something I know it is going to be amazing. I often even find I recognize some of his music style in other games, just to look it up and be right. The man is a legend.
Jesper Kyd is the unsung GOD of the OST world. Everything he writes is a masterpiece.
Right? I was playing State of Decay 2 and I recognised his style but couldn't be sure. Then I heard what sounded similar to Venice Rooftops; fast forward to me pausing and googling and bam Jesper Kyd composed the soundtrack
My first AC game was Origins, and I wasn’t planning on playing the old games tbh. But when I listened Ezio’s Family for the first time, I thought there is no way that a game having this soundtrack isnt a good game. So I ended up playing the originals because of Ezio’s family
AC 2, Brotherhood and Black Flag are PEAK games.
I dont want to offend you as Origins was your first experience, but thats exactly where the downfall of AC began. When they turned towards stupid RPG mechanics, dmg numbers and sparta kicks.... i mean come on.
@@RoxxSermI love Revelations the Soundtrack is on par with AC2 the game play is in sone parts better and the satisfaction you get after climbing the Hagia Sophia and overlooking a changed Constantinople the people are the same but they are moving onto a new era just like the country and city. Overlooking Istanbul just gives you a sense of grandeur you only get when climbing the Coliseum
What's your thoughts on the originals having played the rpg games first? I know a lot of people who played the originals hate the rpg games (I used to be that way but now playing and liking origins) but never hear what people who start at the RPG era thinks of the originals?
totally agree, this song is also one of my all time favorites. i love it soooo much♥ nothing beats AC2 and Brotherhood in the serie
This song is hauntingly beautiful. It just gives such a sense of tragedy, sorrow, then almost moving to acceptance and living with it and being inspired by the end of it
This is one of the few songs that can 10/10 make me cry. One because it is attached to a happy time in my childhood with my Xbox 360 just lost in the games. AC2 and Brotherhood are still my favorites of the series with Black flag following close after. I love how even If I don't agree with where AC has gone this little piece has been adapted into every game that came after.
And that even in Valhalla the newest entry we still have Ezio showing up. This song is on the level of Halo music that will never not make me smile regardless of my circumstances this game and it's music is a part of me like your Italian upbringing and heritage.
Who knows maybe its the gin but hearing this piece just makes me nostalgic for a simpler time. I thank Jasper Kyd for his wonderous contribution to my life. And to you Marco for helpin g put to words the feeling that had gone unwritten for so long, thank you.
Happy Saturday to everyone.
Beautifully said! And thank you ❤️
Still remember when I first played this. Hearing this after Ezio and his brother climbing that tower and ending the parkour tutorial, then followed up with them both gazing over the scenery of Firenze.
Gave me goosebumps everytime I listen to this.
It's been over a decade since I first heard this theme and it still holds such a special place in my heart! All of the music in the AC2 soundtrack is out of this world but this theme in particular means so much...
Man finally this song! I played AC2 back when it was released. I was just a kid back then, but this song was carved in my brain for so long. It always had a special place in my heart.
The ethereal singing in this song has been stuck in my head since the first time I've listened to this song. it makes me stop in my trucks, smile, close my eyes and just enjoy the magnificence of this song.
This song was so good, the themes from Rogue, Unity and Syndicate and maybe others are heavily adapted from it and fitted into their respective settings, some great work.
Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood were the games that saved my life back in the day. Ezio and the Brotherhood were there at a time that no one else was and that still to this day means the world to me. I will forever love this song and cry greatly when it is played. We all share our stories in some way and music is definitely one of those. We still listen to the music of our ancestors and share the songs we ourselves hold close to our hearts. A great quote to express this fact would be from Ezio when he says "Who are we, who have been so blessed to share our stories like this? To speak across centuries?" This song speaks to many in the fandom and reminds us what we are apart of, a creed, a family. This song expresses so much and has become a constant theme for the entire franchise. It reminds us of how we have shared our stories and connected together through Ezio's and many others tales, in a way that is so very special for us. Video Games mean so much more than just a fun distraction and their stories and music are proof of that. Live the creed my fellow brothers and sisters. Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted.
P.S. You should check out Cathedrals of Steel and Waltzing on Rooftops from Assassin's Creed Syndicate!!!! Great compositions and stunning vocals!!!
Brings back memories. Ezio trilogy really is something else, especially their theme music. No words can express the nostalgia and emotions, Hope to see the Revelations theme reaction.
OOOO THIS SONG. I was a huge AC fan in my teenage years. Forever love AC2, it was my first AC game.
Thanks for the throw back Marco! Beautiful song
(My favorite is Black Flag but thats in part dude to my caribbean heritage and part due to its REALLY GOOD story/protagonist/great music)
I think the wildest thing about this song is that the fans LOVED IT SO MUCH, they made it the official baseline theme for all future assassins creed games. Every game has some form of this song in the theme
I'm so in love with AC 2 and Brotherhood and Ezio's story...
Since 1 class of school I was interestend in Italy, Rome and history of that "SPQR" period. Man, I was overhelmed with those games when they came out. I was playing them for over 100 hours, listening to this shaking sondtrack...
More to say, in 2019 I finally granted my wish and visited Rome) Those were the best days in my life still. Walking there in real life gave me so much "feeling of being a roman".
Thank you. Those are memories I love take out from my soul)
Thank you for sharing❤️
I get goosebumbs everytime this soundtrack starts. It is a freaking masterpiece.
Many pieces from Assasins Creed Saga are awesome and beautiful, This is for sure one of my favorites on the saga. It's a pleasure always share the vibes and the beauty of this music with you and the community!! Regards!
One of my all time favorite tracks in gaming. What I love most about it is that it elevates any cutscene its starts playing in. It's a great comfort song. And ubisoft tries to integrate a version of the tone into every AC game they make. But to the games overall theme. Like Odyssey had it for its menu screen but very Greek-like in tone and I loved it.
I think this is the first piece of video game music that made me cry on its own. Just the music alone made me teary. I didn't need context from the game to be moved by it.
I love this piece. The second I saw you posted a video about it, I clicked on it!
Given Ezio's story and the fact that I lost my father 14 and my mother about two years ago, make this hit differently today.
You are right, whoever wrote the soundtrack for AC II did amazing work, I loved getting lost in Florence and Venice while listening to it. This was the game that sold me on the whole historic open world concept.
Jesper kyd ❤️
This song always gets me and is why assassins creed 2 through revelations will never be forgettable. Ezios storyline and the music of those games are phenomenal.
I was 18 when this came out. If i close my eyes it takes me back for a minute. I still remember the brothers atop the belltower, living their best life. Then the camera zoom-out into the AC logo. AC2 and Brotherhood are a special breed of games.
A bluepoint-level quality remake of 2 and Brotherhood would be games id pay a 100 bucks for. Just to feel it again.
The soundtrack of Assassin’s Creed 2 is one of my top favourite soundtracks of all time. I never tire of hearing it and it makes me want to cry each time. 🥺 That single ‘child’ like voice of Melissa R. Kaplan, that violin. 😭 Jesper Kyd is a genius. Sono molto grata per questo video Marco. ❤️❤️❤️ Do you know the lyrics? I have played this game 7 times. 😂
I have listened to the Assassins Creed 2 album more than any others in the series, it's my personal favorite. This song ilicits so much emotion while being very simple, loved your reaction and perspective!
As a Brazilian, I totally get it - whenever I see some BR reference made by non-BR's I get super excited. A good example was "Floral Fury" from Cuphead, that was a literal, legit 20's brazilian Samba right there with cuícas and everything (it's hilarious to hear non-BR's so confused by its sound lol). And Floral Fury is one of those everyone agrees slaps hard, which makes me even happier. Brazil sucks in a lot of ways, especially right now, but sometimes it's just great to recognize my culture in stuff
I remember when I was gifted a PS2 and given the AC2 game with it.
Little did I know how much of a love and impact it would have on my little brother and I. When Ezio’s Family played followed by the ac logo, it was a beautiful moment we shared together as the brothers did and it is to us arguably the best intro to any game.
Then half his family dies and that crushed us lol we did not expect that
no words for this masterpiece. Makes me cry everytime.
I was 8 years old when Assassin's Creed 2 came out and I enjoyed hanging out with my uncle as he played it. Seeing that scene on the rooftop of the church, with Federico and Ezio reminds so much of the dynamic I had with him. He practically became my older pseudo-brother. 10 years later, my uncle passed away. Now I see this scene and hear this song with a feeling of melancholy.
Multiplayer Ensemble did their own orchestral rendition/cover of Ezio’s Family and there’s no other way to say it: It sounded like Music of the Heavens. Ezio’s Family is beyond beautiful and never fails to extract some tears whenever I hear it.
Ooooo looking it up
You’re bringing a tear to my eye, assassin’s creed brotherhood is my favorite game in the series and whenever I hear talk about assassin‘s creed, I think of Ezio Auditore da Firenze.
I still get chills everytime i listen to this song.
Ah finalmente ti sento parlare italiano xD
I've been following you for a bit now and I love your reactions and breakdowns, keep going Polpetta 💪
Hahahah grazie. Infatti lo parlo bene 😂 mi sto scordando parole 😩
One of the best in game characters of all time: Ezio Auditore da Firenze. One of the most relatable one as well. You can feel for him. He's like a brother to the player. You can emphatize with him, route for him. This bittersweet and mysterious masterpiece of a song encapsulates Ezio's character and the vibe of the era perfectly. You're damn right to be proud of your country and history.
U described him perfectly, i finished revelations 2 days ago and i feel like i lost a connection with myself. Ezios Trilogy is one of the best gaming trilogies of all time. Hits hardee after seeing him grow from a young boy to an old man what a legacy.
I don't know why, but hearing you tell us how playing AC2 in Italian made you "proud of your bloodline" made me cry. I've never heard anyone say something so personal and profound about this game before.
This is one of my top video game pieces as well, and the fact that it's been referenced in the scores of Assassin's Creed since just speaks to what a masterful job Jesper Kyd has done with it. (Side note: I think "Family" from Syndicate is my favorite callback to this piece.)
It honestly does really echo Ezio's story arc-- the quiet beginning of a relatively normal kid, the pain in the climb up from his family's execution, the soaring precipice of having built up the Assassin Brotherhood throughout Italy, and finally him walking away and quietly living out the rest of his days with his wife and daughter.
this song basically became a main theme for whole Assassins Creed, I love it so much💗
Im late to this video but his: Playing in the Italian sandbox and exploring a place I used to call home...
Amazing way of describing it
I love this song. When AC2 came out, I was taken back to the time I spent in the US Navy, visiting Venice. I felt transported back to walking the narrow streets, exploring, just taking in the city. So I feel I can understand a tiny bit of how you felt.
If this is part of your top 10 VGM tracks, then we want to know the other 9, Marco! That'd be a cool series to watch.
Got it!
There is so much emotion in this song. It never fails to bring up memories of Ezio and his story. 😊 love it! ❤
Such an iconic piece of video game history, I remember hearing this for the first time when AC 2 released an absolute masterpiece.
I think you'd like this video game that just released a few days ago called soulstice, its a devil may cry type game. It's made by an Italian developer I think it's they're first release. I just started playing it today, pretty darn good so far.
I've been listening to Ezios family for almost a year without ever playing a single ac game. Had to change that at some point, and finally completed ACII last week... what an experience!
As a violinist, the string sections in pieces like this really capture me. This is one of the best examples I can think of in video game music. The transition to violin is perfect.
Sono un amante della serie degli AC e il 2 è secondo me uno dei giochi più belli della storia . La colonna sonora è semplicemente strepitosa , la cosa più bella mai sentita in un videogame fino a quando ho iniziato a giocare a Genshin Impact .
Considero il lavoro fatto da Yu Pen Cheng come incredibile ed è un compositore che ci sta regalando una serie impressionante di capolavori assoluti ( Signora ,Tavern's theme e Fishl castle theme i miei brani preferiti )
Adoro il tuo canale 👍
Ti ringrazio :)
To think that it's through AC2 and Brotherhood that I got back into gaming after a few years without even thinking about it, listening to this song always brings me chills and really good memories, it's just amazing
Came to your channel bcs your lol stuff was insane and thats the reason i stayed!❤️
❤️❤️❤️
I remember when I first reached the top of the Church of Santa Marianovella in Florence (or Firenze for us Italians) and thinking, wow I've been here irl and it's identical to the original. I remember Piazza San Marco from Venezia in one of the Ezio games and I still feel the music carrying me through every climb, every hiding, every "salto della fede" (jumping everywhere and conveniently finding hay underneath). every single detail from the culture to the setting to the music is masterfully cared for. I haven't played the games after brotherhood except for black flag and I didn't finish it. The feeling you get as an Italian playing as Ezio is undescribable and in my opinion difficult to reproduce.
ho fatto la stessa cosa sul colosseo
Brother, seeing how you react to this masterpiece is a privilege. In this life, we only get a few moments of true ecstasy. Something like this, a piece of musical art so many connect to, is one of those special moments. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏
I'm Jewish, but hearing you speaking about living in Italy and feeling that pride - man, that is what it's all about. Those games, those stories, were something else - something altogether uplifting for a generation that played them and experienced them.
I love it when you speak Italianno.
I can understand italian a bit even without subtittle, I've learn it for one year at school and I'm french.
And what you said about being proud of AC2 as an italian, I feel the same about ACUnity
Unity is honestly glorious besides the disastrous launch!
@@MarcoMeatball and The bugs XD
Ezio is just such a good character and that made the games absolutely incredible. I have to get into that story again. Thanks for letting me know what will consume my soul the next 4 weeks lol.
I love how epic this song is. If you know nothing about AC you can still recognize the sadness the song carries. You can still recognize this is tragic in a way, this is someone struggling and growing into greatness.
Through these sound waves you can actually feel the "betrayal" feelings, Ezio was feeling when his family got murdered!
That transition from her highest notes to the violin... Just *chef's kiss*...♥️♥️♥️
Something I loved about the Ezio Trilogy of AC games is some of the more secretive lore stuff hidden behind puzzles, it was honestly really engrossing with how well they grounded all the twists and turns of the AC Universes lore into so many real events and historical pieces of work, and in my opinion there are some parts of the AC Lore that come from this that are incredibly scary with how easy you can make sense of it and almost believe it, it's a shame we never saw anything with such depth since then...
This piece is transcendent. One of my all time favorites and a big reason I was so enthralled with this game’s opening.
The Ezio trilogy was such a great story to play through.
It's used so intelligently in the opening of the game as well. First time you hear it is after climbing the tower with Ezio's brother, and the darkness of the track makes sense later and through out the whole franchise but it also just fits the cool midnight vibes, that weirdly nostalgic feeling at the end of a long night so it's not super on the nose about foreshadowing the tragedy that is about to happen.
Wow, apart from the mesmerizing song, it's the first time I've ever heard you speak in italian, it's beautiful that one of my favorite youtubers is a fellow italian❤
Salve :)
This is the first video I've ever watched of yours.
This is one of my favorite scores of all time, and your expressions feel so true to my own. Im so glad I'm not the only one that emotes through my face when I'm listening to music.
I wish I could get deeper into the emotions I feel during the song and just live in it. It's very powerful and emotional.
“It is a good life we lead, brother”
At one time, i sat there looking at the Main menu of Assassin's Creed 2 and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood listening to this beautiful song.
This isn't just a song, this is a goddamn masterpiece of art. Timeless. Beautiful and haunting.
Literally got tears in my eyes when I heard this score again, and for me it is the best score you can get in gaming history. And what you've ever said about how it's composed is so on point with the game. Thanks for reminding us of this great song, hopefully it lasts forever in our community.
One thing I always loved about this theme is the use of different instruments to represent different aspects of the story.
The synth notes: At the very beginning you can hear a synth keyboard in the background, which is symbolic for The Animus. We're seeing the past through a modern lens, this digital viewfinder that lets us experience the memories of those from long ago.
Guitar strumming: Ezio running across the rooftops, whether it's with his older brother or in his own as an assassin.
Vocals: For me represents the setting of Italy, and Florence. Cllimbing to the highest viewpoint and looking over the city, the beautiful vistas of Venice, and the rich history of the Renaissance.
Electric guitar: Ezio's anger and his mission to find those who wronged him. He's a killing machine who cuts through enemies mercilessly, his fighting skills, and a reminder that Ezio won't let anyone get in his way.
Strings: The Assassins, the creed, and the fight against the Templars. Learning to become an assassin thanks to Mario, Ezio's assassin heritage, and the importance of stopping the templars from getting the Pieces of Eden.
Kyd's fingering of the guitar: Ezio himself and his family. His connection with his family is strong, and how he does everything in the game for their sake. The theme ends with this, and my interpretation is that specific moment represents Ezio feeling lost by the end of ACII, and how his life has been turned completely upside down. He went through this entire journey for revenge, and once he achieves it, it doesn't undo everything he and his family went through. He's still an assassin, he hasn't and never will fully destroy the Templar Order, he still can't go back home, he still hasn't gotten answers from the Apple as to why all this is happening, he will never get his life back and he's still on his own
It's so nostalgic, damn. One of the first games that I played that actually made me love games.
I tear up every time I hear this music. It makes me look back at the time I first played this. Ezio was a character we met from the beginning of his life to the last moments of it he is a character worth celebrating. Thank You for the video.
Jasper Kyd is genius. His Hitman soundtrack is even better
I played AC2 while living in China. It was my escape from a bad time in my life. So it became a big source of comfort. I'd even listen to the music when walking around the city. I adore this score.
What I like about how this song has survived the passage of the franchise is its mutability. It doesn't require great strides of modification to be as applicable to Bayek and Amunet's tale of loss and vengeance as it is to Ezio's rise and fall.
One that hews close to the original is the one from Odyssey, which largely lacks the more modern instruments, but hits hard with drums and sudden vocals, which to me shows Cassandra's pursuit of family, money, and answers in the Aegean, and which resolves rather quickly, but the second half of which is practically coated in foreboding strings, to show that she never really does succeed in rooting out all the secrecy of her enemies and successors.
It's also worth noting that the song more or less disappeared from the franchise until Rogue of all games brought it back. It wasn't in 3, Liberation, Brotherhood, Revelations, Black Flag, or some of the spinoffs between them. I found it interesting how the designers and arrangers of the score and soundtrack chose to more or less leave it off until the Ezio trilogy was starting to fade from memory and relevance to the series' themes.
If i could melt myself into a piece of music it would be this.
The crystalline vocals and the deep rooted gentle aspiration and melancholy of the melody paints every breath of a lifetime in a world long gone. (Rooftops of Venice is a close second)
Assassin's Creed is one of my favorite game series. I started with the very first game, playing in the Crusades.
Then the Italian Renaissance, the American Revolution, the Age of Piracy, the French Revolution, the Seven Years War, the Industrial Revolution, Classical Egypt, the Peloponnesian War in Greece, and the Age of Vikings
They may a have different settings and each main character fought for their own reasons and values. But they all fought foe another thing, they fought for the brotherhood, for family
Ezio's Family is that sort of culmination, as it has transcended the series and became the theme of the games, with their own twist and spin on it
I can see in your face and your body, that you can really feel this song, every little note says something to you, I haven’t seen many people that experience music like this, there a few songs that make me feel and make me move the same way a you did. It appears that feeling the music that way, isn’t that common. Grazie
Jesper Kyd is just on another plane of existence with his stuff, the Hitman soundtrack is so crazy good too. His piece "Apocalypse" is an original opera piece and the latin lyrics also hint at a shadow organization that hasn't even been in the games until 10 years later, idk how he did that
bro is not feeling the music, bro is LIVING Ezio's entire trauma through the music
This song is nostalgic in so many ways that it not only to ezios time line but also to our own past when we first heard this sound track 😅
I was so happy when i saw this title and thumbmail, awesome choice my man! This song is one of the easiest things to make my cry in the whole world, its beauty is beyond words. Its games musics like this that remind me that games are much more than just the gameplay, they are a piece of art al together, and the music is always a key component to create that feeling imo
Its so nice to see all the ac games and its music but specifically ezio trilogy being so appreciated in the comments. The music makes me emotional. Glad to watch this reaction. ❤️ Entirety of Desmond saga was peak assassins creed. Miss those days 🥲❤️
Venice Rooftops was one I had on my playlist for working out. I always got so pumped listening to it. Great video, Marco!
its good to see your emotion for this song and to your homeland Italy
I played assassin creed 2 very long time ago, English is not my mother language so i dont understand the story thoroughtly, but i always remember this song
This theme hits right in the feels.
This theme hits you in ways you cannot imagine! Still love this!
Thanks for dedicating a video to this song, it is belongs to a very special game series for me. Thanks for your work.
Assassin's Creed is what got me into gaming in the first place. I remember coming home to my friend and he was playing AC2 and AC1. I got to try and immediately got fetched into it. Yes I had played games before that, Need for Speed Most Wanted, GTA and others, but no game got me more attached to the community than AC2. The journey I had from AC2 through to Revelations was amazing. I will never forget that...
Thats nostalgia in person even if you never played the games you get a certain feeling
I had no idea you were a Roman until you said! We’ve had a similar path then, as I’m a Brit now living in Rome since 2018 haha!
- “Bella vita la nostra, eh, fratello?”
- “La migliore. Possa non cambiare mai.”
- “E possa non cambiare noi.”
I remember when AC 2 was free on Xbox 360 for a bit and the music blew me away and the game made me happy to be someone with Italian heritage🙌💯🇮🇹
Coming back to this a year later. This could easily be the Italian National Anthem. Also I have a playlist on RUclips of my top 15 favorite songs ever, 10 lyrical songs and 5 instrumental songs. Ezio's Family is one of those instrumental songs.
Dreams of venice,Tour of venice, sanctuary, home in florencia, the plague. Son mis favoritos de lejos.
This game really takes me back, I remember playing AC2 for the first time when I was 14, really loved the saga up until Brotherhood. I remember listening to this piece and getting goosebumps over and over again. I kinda got disappointed by how the modern day plotline went from Brotherhood onward and haven't played the saga after Revelations, but I might start playing it again with the new chapter that's coming out, the one set in Japan. The nostalgia is getting to me, heh
Also as a native italian speaker my brain was bamboozled when you suddenly switched to italian at the beginning of the video lmao
inaspettato!
:DDDDDD
AC2 and brotherhood are probably the games that make me feel the most nostalgia, the music, the characters, the (at the time) innovative gameplay really made the game special. (along with how sincere it felt)
also, the good ol' AC2 intro, nothing beats that.
Makes me smile and weep everytime I hear it. Thank you!
