ARKNIGHTS HIVEMIND WHERE YOU ALL AT?!?!?!?! So glad that you're consuming more AK music, John!
We have been summoned
At your command!
Yessir
Ayeaye here we are
You called us 🎉
The singer for the song Radiant whom is Mary Clare Clemons and she is the vocalist for a band out of Phoenix called Forts. Her best song in Arknights is Eternal Flame. She also sings in another banger called Manifesto.
this is actually a good introduction to arknights music because the theme of this concert was "world of terra(arknights)" so the symbols you see represent the countries in game, so format went, logo of country -> music of that country.
then the 3 starset songs are; from the concept trailer 1 before the game came out, the "arknights theme": infected. and telescope is for concept trailer 4 showing the future events of this world. so past, present, future of the game itself
the whole concert is basically them saying "THIS is Arknights!"
23:00 i wouldnt call her a bad guy but she is a boss in the game
As for Arknights its what id call the most innovative tower defense youd ever play. It starts out easy but it definately ramps up.
If you want some beginner lore check out Terrastorians videos
And also they have a 2 season anime covering chapters 0-6
With a 3rd season around the corner to cover chapter 7.
And like 6ish mangas.
And a new game called Arknights Endfield that plays much differently.
The persons name isnt doctor you as the mc is doctor so its what we are reffered to as a stand in for our real names.
40:30 yes specifically eastern dragon.
1:25:55 its called Radiant
Starset has been with arknights since release. They are featured in each concept trailer and even Endfields newest trailer.
You can see behind them in the songs.
Infected was even made for Arknights for an anniversary :D so that was the perfect 1 more song.
Thank you for the info 🙌🙌🙌 for real it helps!!
There are a bunch of us that love seeing new people get invested in the amazing story and lore that Arknights has to offer, we are usually more than willing to help out with tidbits of character lore and details, and it's always fun to see others enjoying the music as well.
I love this whole talk at 1:10:58 it really shows your appreciation for video game music and how these little moments that you don't recognise the first time around stay with you for the rest of your life. As someone who's been playing Arknights since it came out and always adored the music, seeing stuff like Ambience Synesthesia and hearing just the first few seconds of those songs I love always gets me emotional.
I'm about to give you a hell of a list of Arknights music/songs, but we're gonna start real simple:
1. Since you listened to Operation Pyrite, I suggest you listen to the rest of the Contingency Contract songs, and these are their names, respectively:
Operation Blade, Operation Cinder, Operation Lead Seal, Operation Spectrum, Operation Wild Scales, Operation Pine Soot, Operation Dawnseeker, Operation Deepness, Operation Ashring, Operation Fake Waves, and Operation Basepoint, including those from the newer Contingency Contract Battleplan (or season 2), Operation Pyrolysis and Operation Underdawn. These were in-game lobby themes, which says a lot about AK the producers Hypergryph. They're definitely just a music company disguising as a game company.
2. Since you happened to love Misty Memory (Night Version), you should totally check out Misty Memory (Day Version) and Misty Memory (Acoustic Version).
3. That one "faction" at the beginning that was big on orchestra, the one with "The Theme" and "Der Hexenkönig" that had amazing chorus groups, were performing music from a specific event in Arknights, Zwillingstürme Im Herbst. I suggest you listen to those again from MSR, along with Underneath the Spires, and both The Themes, Variant and Imperial version. I will attach a link here: ruclips.net/video/cz825G2Nbv0/видео.html
4. This is the boss theme of Stultifera Navis, which you are able to play, but I recommend against it until you have some really good operators, surely the golden age will return again: ruclips.net/video/V3ttO0C6O2I/видео.html (I would also love it if you do listen to the battle themes, there are 3 of them, I might join Discord to share links.)
5. My favorite parts of this game? idk, but one of those is definitely how they combine 2 things that don't seem good together and make them great. Like Competition Knights and, uhh, idk what it's called, electronic music i think (Radiant, or what you called Full Speed ahead, is part of this). One of my favorite combinations is the Vatican church and dubstep. I'd want you to listen to Hortus de Escapismo (I call this church chillstep part 2). There's the Lobby theme, the Battle theme, the boss theme, and possibly a character EP song.
I'm kinda obsessed with this game almost for the same reasons as you, the music is phenomenal, but also probably because I never really listen to anything else once i find something to jam to. Good luck, Doctor, I hope you enjoy the game, and even if you don't, as long as you enjoy the music, it's all fine.
(P.S. By reacting to Contingency Contract music, you might start getting the attention of more people, especially veterans who have lived such days and would love to see peoples reaction to the lobby themes.)
Oh boy. Arknights lore. Here we go.
Honestly it's more than you can really describe in a RUclips comment, but i'll give it a try. You could spend all day just reading summaries on the wikis even, never mind the events themselves. The focus of this concert was taking a song or two from each geographic location or faction. Some of them were songs/music from ingame, some were original songs for the concert, and some were character or location EPs (which you can find a playlist of on the official Arknights RUclips channel.) So I'll just give you a tiny bit of context for the ones shown in concert, other than the ones at the beginning and end, which were ones reflecting the main character (Amiya) and fanservice from Starset respectively.
The first location was Leithania, a analogue of Germany, which has deep cultural focus on classical music and it's integration with Arts (magic). Was recently (before the story begins) freed from the clutches of the most powerful caster in history, the Witch King, and is still reeling from the fallout.
The second is Ursus, a Russian analogue where they are still Imperial Russia and never underwent the Bolshevik Revolution. HIGHLY militaristic and despotic nation.
The third location is Columbia, or more specifically the Rhine Labs faction within it. Columbia is a US analogue, and is one of the few nations that aren't completely terrible to live in and is still actively advancing it's society due to a major focus on technological advancement. However, it also has it's capitalistic corruption dial cranked way past the limit.
The fourth one represents several factions from Kazdel, home of the Sarkaz (based on demons of various origins). No real world analogue, but vaguely associated with Hebrews/Jews, as they were the original inhabitants of Terra before lots of lore stuff. In a constant state of war, both civil and external, in an attempt to retake and rebuild their homeland.
The fifth is Yan, a China analogue that remains pretty mysterious.
The sixth is Kjerag, representing a European city-state of some sort. Very small mountainous territory that worships a local nature god, being rapidly dragged in modernity kicking and screaming by an entrepreneur that is terrified his homeland is going to get gobbled up by nearby resource hungry nations if they remain as they are.
Seventh is Sami, which actually just represents the real world Sami people. Located at the very north of Terra, they are in a constant war of survival with SCP style, infohazardous, ACTUAL demons that are spawning from a broken Stargate and corrupting the land. Other northern facing nations also deal them as well.
Next is eighth, Iberia, a analogue of Spain. A failed nation that is trying very hard to survive and rebuild itself. Once the greatest naval power, they lost almost 50 miles of land and coast to the ocean when it suddenly surged, which took out almost the entirety of both their Church and government in the event called the Profound Silence. The only surviving authority being the Inquisition arm of the church. The ocean has become an absolutely terrifying place in Arknights, so all holiday events take place at artificial sea's or lakes.
Ninth were some of the factions within Victoria, Glasglow and Dublinn, a party seeking the throne and a party seeking Taran(Irish) independence separately.
10 was Siracusa, an analogue of Italy, only the Mafia are in complete control of all government. Would tear itself apart in infighting if not for the strongest familia imposing some limited order, as as law and order only has superficial hold over the familias.
11th was Kazimierz, Poland analogue. Also called the land of Knights, it's dealing with a massive cultural shift as hyper-capitalism has taken root. The old nobles and knight families are rapidly losing power to corporations, and competitions are focused on corporate sponsored blood-sports between new knights, while the old orders look on in disdain. Being purposefully carried out by certain high-influence individuals in order to beat back Columbia's economic and militaristic influence.
12th was Victoria proper, a analogue of Britain. Currently the most powerful land nation, it's also rapidly falling apart due to both Kazdellian influence and the Dukes having infighting and preventing the ascension of a new King. Is the stage of quite a few of the later main story chapters, and the center of a massive war ingame.
Afterwards is Laterano, the Vatican of Terra essentially. Home to the Sankta, angel-folk, and probably the best place to live. They have built-in empathic abilities for each other, and a genetic predisposition for the type of explosive Arts necessary for using fire-arms in Terra, leading to them idolizing fire-arms with them being their weapons of choice. Have major beef with Sarkaz for various reasons.
14th and 15th are Dossoles and Siesta, both holiday cities, with Dossoles being a fusion of several Caribbean countries undergoing severe internal strife, and Siesta being a Hawaii analogue.
16th is a small fraction of Sargon, a conglomeration of African analogues. Specifically, it's about the Durin (dwarves) faction associated with a few jungle tribes unassociated the actual Sargonian Lords Ameer and Pashas. Due to certain ingame event's, contact was made between these local tribes and one of the Durin's underground dome cities.
Then lastly is just Starset fanservice songs.
Replace every mention of "capitalism" with "corporatism."
None of the countries in Terra practice capitalism as an economy. Columbia and Kazimierz use corporatism as government structures.
If I remember correctly, Kjerag is meant to represent the Netherlands/Dutch and Sami with the Samifjod are representations of the Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway and Finland).
@watshappening8768
Kjerag is more directly Swiss than Dutch
There were 60000 tickets for sale for this concert. It sold out in 48 seconds.
Now I wonder how many people click the "buy" button per second that do manage to buy the ticket. Including the time it takes to confirm the purchase.
Im glad you posted the full concert. Your Lord of Fiends reaction was great to listen too
They made a really high quality concert, thanks for giving a chance!
Fun fact, the countdown at 20:47 is directly taken from the countdown of Voyager 1.
Fun fact about Control's wishes. Control's wishes is actually a Boss theme in an event Side Story in Arknights called Lone trail. Baldur's Gate 3 writer praised how good the writing was in the event.
I did not know that ! 😮
Fun fact. That last song INFECTED by Starset. Was made as a Collab with arknights of sorts. So much directly, even in their youtube upload its tagged as #Arknights
Now, you might be wondering what Starset is doing there at the concert. I did too for a moment before I remembered that the Arknights youtube channel used "Monster" in the video "Arknights Official Concept Trailer 1" that they uploaded. We really came full circle hahah.
They also used unbecoming and telescope for trailers 2 and 4 and infected was made for Arknights and used in trailer 3
@@Eclipse4589 and then we also have Brand New World from Starset in Endfield.
The creator of arknights is a big starset Fan as well
The reason as to why is Starset there is because Arknights used
Monster for Concept Trailer 1,
Unbecoming for Concept Trailer 2,
Infected for Concept Trailer 3,
and used Telescope for Concept Trailer 4.
(also another fun fact, Infected is made for Arknights, I believe, especially if we consider that a big part of Arknight's lore is about people being "Infecteds" aka people infected with Originium)
8:45 This track is one of my favourites. Derived from actual classical piece Erlkönig which is already a majestic one on it’s own already.
And the thing is that the composer Lappy was making fan-made OSTs for the game for a while but now it’s official.
Yessss so glad you posted the full concert!!! Thank you very much, I'm glad you're liking Arknights music!
HIVEMIND! ASSEMBLE! :D Looking forward to more Arknights content. ^^ The game might not be for everybody but the music and anime is really good! It's a joke that Hypergryph is actually a music company that makes games in the side. XD Definitely check out the other concerts too and the 3D animations. Thanks for a nice reaction!
P.S. Yes. The songs were categorized into nations with themes of their own (i.e. knights, beach/resort, jungle, etc.)
WE ARE HERE, WE ARE HAPPY, WE ARE HYPE
WE ARE ENDFIELD
1:43:06 there is an acoustic version of that song Misty Memory. It's pretty chill too.
Oh my God, cant believe I missed this stream. Was super busy this whole week, now Imma watch the vod
*Edited: Oh this was from a month ago or so I think. I just remember I watched your Lord of Fiends reaction and wanted to find the vod for the whole stream, but I couldnt. Thanks for this
Ah, someone new who falls into the Arknights music and maybe even the game!
Hope u have a blast and was great to watch someone new react to the concert.
58:56 Ants. Bees. Wasps. Lots of bugs honestly. And then you have humans who do it, but on a more individualistic level. Arknights dives into that conundrum specifically heavily. What if a creature had the same level of coordination and structure as Ants, but had the drive and intelligence of humans? It would be incredibly difficult to combat that... Oh and give them Wolverines healing factor and super evolution...
The music is very much meant to portray the beauty of such a thing, and the horror of fighting against it.
51:54 in Arknights, there are so many variation of musics, also a lot of genre blending, which I didnt know it would work, but it works. Mongolian Throat Singing + Electronic for example.
Same here, I downloaded the game when I first heard Renegade, still playing the game 14:49
Oh no what have you done?
You have alerted the hive mind
Hope you come to enjoy the game nearly as much as I do. The worldbuilding in it is insane.
We the Will of We Many has been summoned
you know how a good of a game is when they have a good music, good voice actor, good gameplay, concert, even a sequel for the game
you in for a good food
In my opinion, if you love tower defense, you’ll like this game. You don’t necessarily need high rarity operators except when you get to latter parts of the game.
PS 1:18:55 is called Wlfmstr (pronounced wolfmaster)
1:25:45 is called Radiant
Fun fact: 1:40:50 Misty Memory has 3 versions. What you listened to here is the night version. There’s also a more chill day version, and an even chiller acoustic version.
This concert happened over a few days as far as I know.
@InsanityoftheSanities official name for wlfmstr is Seignore dei Lupi (lord of wolf in italian)
14:06 ONE OF US!!! ONE OF US!!!
"I get a feeling Control is a bad person."
How do you feel about industrialized child torture?
HIVMIND, CALLING ALL SLEEPER AGENTS, THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
its a fun gme with good story, as long as you like visual novel and tower defens :3 and the nusic is banger 🎉
I think you should know that Arknights is having a DUNGEON MESHI collab coming in a couple of months.
Arknights gang checking in. Game's great, but you can also just appreciate the music. There's just so much to play and read that it'll eat all of your free time.
Looks like my previous comment got taken down? Thanks for the video, had a blast watching it and i hope you have fun with the game and it’s music, if i had to recommend one song from Arknights i think you’ll like it would be Stainless Heart!
14:50 Not for Arknights, it was the artstyle that brough me to it cause I saw it before it released, but personaly I tried a LOTS of games because of their music, especialy mobile games nowaday put a lots of effort in their soundtrack, A few I tried but didn't realy liked the gameplay are Girls Frontline, Counter Side and Limbus Compagny, and there Punishing Grey Raven I sticked to.
I still check song from thoses games and even others I never even touched from time to time and have a lots of them in my playlist x)
We Have John Arknights
You need to watch the Ambience Synesthesia 2023 concert now!!
