    All the Overseers have their own instruments to represent them, like the Queen of Winds having wind instruments and Queen Order having percussion, and here I am nearly two years after playing this game for the first time realizing the Heart King has violins as a play on the term *HEARTSTRINGS*

    To think, Kiwi was so close to doing what was thought impossible, even by Eyala, here...they very nearly *reharmonized* an Overseer. *Uncorrupted* one. This is explicitly stated to be impossible earlier on in the game, that there was 'no way to fix them once they get like that', and yet, here Kiwi was...so, so, SO close to achieving the impossible. Only for all that effort to be thrown away.

    • @Mzoyagon
      @Mzoyagon 2 года назад +19

      I know right! We could’ve gotten to get more info on how corruption works too, possibly by hearing from the King of Hearts about what it was like. Do they actually lose all conscious thought, or are they trapped in there while a separate beast consciousness takes over? Or maybe does everything go black, and everything from then on can’t be remembered? It’s such an interesting concept, and kinda sad to see the opportunity to reveal some interesting lore just thrown away for story reasons.

      I think it helps emphasize the moment in the story! Not only do the characters lose a valuable opportunity, but you, the player, lose the chance to learn and experience something new.
      It helps to drive home that feeling of frustration the story is trying to showcase. Audrey fucked up so badly that even you, the audience, felt the ramifications of it directly.

    Alternate Universe Comment:
    I like how they made the Bard look like he controls exactly as they did during the secret level, it's a subtle touch but it works well. But man, doing this part of the All Achievements/Maximum Bard route always sucks the most, because of the cutscene at the end. They're a precious bean and it sucks you have to do them dirty like that.

    I think this is becoming my favorite song in the game. I've been listening to it practically nonstop all weekend. I love all the rapid changes in intensity and instruments, the blending of styles, and just the general epicness of the whole. It really is a theme worthy of a boss fight. And I love how you slipped the hero theme in at the end for that extra emotional punch.

    Damn... I love this song so much...
    *Spoilers*
    I hated it when Audrey killed the King of Hearts. I mean, I saw it coming. But STILL. I already feel pretty awful for the King of Hearts. I mean, I know all of the overseers grow corrupt, but damn... I just felt awful for the King of Hearts in particular. I feel pretty bad for the others too. I hated it when the Queen of the Winds died too. It was also kinda sad when the sun and moon overseers ended up killing each other. I just feel really bad for the overseers for some reason...

    • @larsthememelord3383
      @larsthememelord3383 3 года назад +8

      @@larsthememelord3383 That is sad... I love ya Audrey, but yeah. It’s a sad idea that those overseers likely don’t leave any ghosts behind because honestly, they already kinda are like spirits to begin with. The Dream King was speaking in the spirit language at first like the ghosts in Langtree. Jeez. Overseers are really interesting. It still makes me sad that it looked like the Bard was going to be able to reason with the King of Hearts and before he could say anything, Audrey killed him. I remember just swearing at my screen when that happened.

      @@conceptualoblivion2569 All the overseers always talk in the spirit language! You can tell cause their speech bubbles have floating symbols in them. Although they don't have ghosts, they do leave behind their part of the earthsong, so I guess they all become part of the bard and then part of the world again once the not-earthsong is sung? I'm not sure, but it could be nice to believe they still exist. At the very least, the new overseers will all remember their own overseers till the world ends again (and a new cycle will continue! Probably)

  • @conceptualoblivion2569
    @conceptualoblivion2569 3 года назад +16

    Okay imma leave a second comment here, but FGHJGGGHJJFDG I think this is one of my favorite tracks. But honestly, it’s hard to compare the songs in this ost because they’re just all so good. Just, the intensity of this song and the mix of the violins and guitars makes it sound so magical. Like, in a lot of Audrey’s themes you can hear the electric guitar playing in the bg and it just displays her personality there. The synths are like the corruption of the king of hearts and some of the other sounds. The violin is probably my favorite because it just makes it sound like a really intense battle like: this is it, if she kills this overseer, only one other overseer remains and once the dream kings dead, the world ends. The ending is so damn good too
    Sorry if I made no sense, but EYA ALMIGHTY. I love this song.
