@memescoffee3173 yes. SV are very overrated. I usually hate modern pokemon but SV were the most fun I've had in mainline pokemon since gen 5. Mystery Dungeon still sweeps though
Remind me of that Chrono Trigger ost, the Corridors of time, where if you’re wearing headphones the bells in the background circle around your head like a clock ticking.
the clock’s ticking is prominent, and yet the song is so still, so silent. anticipation, yet dread. knowing what is coming and longing for it while fearing it. charging ahead knowing you aren’t ready. the battle, you can take. but you’re not ready to say goodbye.
Both temporal tower and this somehow incorporates loads of motifs from earlier songs in the game and it manages to make you super nostalgic for what you used to have while simultaneously making you super determined to keep going and never giving up. This is the end, but this is what needs to happen. It's incredibly unknown by gamers overall because of it's age and platform, but it's some of the best gaming music ever created
It doesn't seem like anyone else has very much to say about this song, but I remember it being one of my favorite tracks from the game. Such emotional tension, especially in the parts that pay homage to past tracks. The music really ties this game together. The whole game is pure, unadulterated genius. So underrated.
*Temporal Spire* is the last straight line before reaching the top of the tower. I kept getting stressed literally and what really bothered me was *Porygon2* and *Porygon-Z* *Discharge* downright. In any case the music I find it really very cool.
Here’s the 3 different levels of this song, which I believe is an analogy for the three levels of the temporal structure- tower, spire, and pinnacle: 0:00 Clock mixed with two instruments 0:40 Switches up the style a bit 1:21 Adds in the ‘Dialga theme’ (my favorite part :D)
After reading a comment on the Hidden Highland video, this makes me think of the player character coming to terms with the fact that their time is running out and them accepting their death Kids game :)
The sounds of a clock's mechanism, the tranquil, chilling sounds of the feeling that it's all ending. Going through the dungeon, scared of all the dangers in there, of the ridicolously powerful pokémon in the dungeon. You and your partner are getting to the top on their last leg, tired, exhausted, almost defeated... But you make that one last push. Such a great atmospheric tune.
This games soundtrack is probably the best soundtrack to come out of Pokemon. Every song in this game is amazing. Hidden land being my personal favorite and this being second behind it. They really know how to set the mood and flow of the game.
I agree, the mainline games feel like they pale in comparison, probably because they feel like they have lower stakes comparatively, at least in my opinion.
@@tdawgmaster1729I _would_ prefer Rescue Team's soundtrack if there were more tracks as good as Run Away, Fugitives and Sky Tower, but most of the other tracks were either kinda good or kinda meh, with one or two in particular being outright grating to listen to after a while.
The ticking in the background fits this dungeon because...well....you're in the tower that the God of Time lives on. It also kinda represents the time ticking away until there is no time left, aka when the tower collapses and the world is paralysed. Could also be ticking away to the showdown between you and Dialga.
0:00 Your character continues to drag themselves up the tower, one arm at a time, even though they're battered and bruised from the fights they had. They must save the world... 0:40 Their partner joins next to them, and together they continue climbing together, first side by side, but slowly and surely the partner starts to go forwards, ever so slightly faster 1:21 Your character stops for a moment, looking at their partner who keeps moving forward further, who's known to be a coward when they first meet them, now someone who's willing to take on everything to help save the world along with your character. Maybe they already had done a good job... And maybe... After this is all over... They can accept their approaching death and disappear in peace...
What I love so much is how this sounds like a slowed down version of Temporal Tower. Combined with that ticking in the back in the beginning, it emphasizes the situation of time slowing down around you. As if the higher you’re climbing, the time stop is slowly creeping up on you and your partner. Really sells the mood of the world getting eerily quieter as you keep moving, only pushing you further to your goal and fixing what’s been corrupted.
This is when you know that you truly are racing against time. Each click of the metronome is one less second you have before the future is set forever.
PMD2's soundtrack is so good not just because the tracks slap but because of how much thought there is put into them, each little part of the game has a track that fits it perfectly. Being the second part of the final dungeon before the end, they could've made it really intense and fast paced but they chose something completely different. You know your character is going to die, and having the soundtrack slow down like this with a ticking sound really drives home that "this is the end". You don't feel rushed and you can take it in. The climax of the game isn't just well delivered, everything leads up to it perfectly. What an amazing game.
I didn't appreciate this song as much before, but I remember being mesmerized with the ticking clock, and watching the spinning porygons dance to the music, right before they killed you 😂
You don't really think about it too much, but… This theme captures that feeling of dread so much. Win, and you disappear, leaving the world without a hero that it sorrily needs. Lose, and the world plunges into darkness. But this is what you signed up for when you took on this mission. This is what you signed on for when you met Wigglytuff. This is what you signed on for when you entered Beach Cave. This is what you signed on for when you met your partner. It's what you signed on for when you, Celebi, and Grovyle decided on this crazy plan. You signed on for this fight to the finish. Yoom Ta. Bring it on, Dialga.
The clock ticking actually gets inconsistent during the theme, which I either like or don't like depending on if they actually thought about it or not.
The clock ticking... it is absolutely dreadful. Knowing that you're so close, but also knowing that the tower is getting more ripped apart with every floor you climb, and could cross the point-of-no-return ANY second. Knowing that you could be perfect - get to the top as fast as you possibly could, no time wasted - and still fail because you're essentially playing a game of chance that you'll have enough time. For all you know, it might already be too late. Tick, tock, tick, tock... the paralysis of the planet can still be stopped, but do you have enough time to stop it? That is the only thing you don't know, and have zero control over. Time waits for nobody; not even for someone saving the world. It's a constant prescence that looms over the universe, with no mind or being in control, that continues forever and ever. Tick... tock... tick... tock... And that fear of the unknown - that dreadfulness and anxiety - is captured perfectly in this theme. Wow, what a masterpiece of a game.
Both Tower and Spire have such a "endgame" feel to it, but while Tower makes it sound adventurous, motivating and exciting, as you are finally going to save the world, Grovyle's sacrifice won't be in vain and time itself will be restored...Spire is different, Spire is somber, melancholic... hopeless even, as it conveys the fact that winning isn't an absolute, time itself is falling apart and what if you're too late? Also, Let's not forget the fact that this is quite possibly a suicide mission for you because if you manage to change history... *you would have never existed.* Both the tracks for this endgame scenario are amazingly done, and convey both sides of the coin when it comes to the plot and stakes.
So much tension, and yet such a relaxing track. I played a million times through this dungeon (THOSE DAMN STEEL POKEMON) but I was never done with this one XD Also, I kinda like the clock ticking... I used to think it was panic-inducing, but now... don't know what happened but I grew to like it XD
Time never stops. If you refuse to continue to move with time, then you will be left behind. If we did not face Primal Dialga, then time would stop and you could then do nothing about it.
Alright here's a story. I wiped to Dialga and lost half my items, and i was trying to beat game with no reviver seeds. So i go in, and what do you know, I SPAWN IN A MONSTER HOUSE. *Ahem* There goes another half bag of items.
thank goodness emulators have save states. after the first loss, i ended up farminfg for sleep and stun seeds. i had a save state after using a pure seed to bring myself to the stairs. took me a few tries to tank 3 of dialga's moves to finally beat him. you gotta be really lucky to survive without reviver seeds.
You don't know what the future holds. Everything seems... uncertain now. You're not sure how to feel about your fate, your future. Not sure whether to tell your best friend about what will happen in just a few hours time, or even whether you'll succeed at all. Every step is filled with trepidation, and yet you march on, hearing... No, FEELING the clock tick down as you ascend the tower. But no matter what comes next, there is a singular certainty in your mind. Someone is going to die tonight.
I have a hypotesis on this place... Imagine that this area it's so hard (being at the door of the god of time) that you in reality have an infinite number of tries trying to complete this area, but you keep going, and eventually reaching the end of the tower, and thanks to the time spire shenanigans, you only remember the tries that you've made progress, forgeting every try that was a failure, being hundred, thousands, or even millions.

Fortunately I had a riolu with way too much atk, and had wide slash, but that is not a surefire solution still.

this happened in the grovyle special episode for me, i stopped playing for a week ._.
Pikachu with thunderbolt-agility, discharge, special band, and concentrator go brrrrr
@Beamrice ...well I had the first 3, which helped greatly.
This is one of the final dungeon themes that gives me the most “this is it, we are almost done for good” type of vibes. I like it
man area zero rlly nailed that feeling too
And then you notice that you are at most halfway done with the game ^^
@memescoffee3173 yes. SV are very overrated. I usually hate modern pokemon but SV were the most fun I've had in mainline pokemon since gen 5. Mystery Dungeon still sweeps though
I love the clock ticking in the background. It really sets the mood of the situation and atmosphere.
Yeah, really makes you think that you don't have a lot of time left.
I hate it. It gave me a headache after awhile
IT GIVES ME ANXIETY
Very thematic for the situation

Jesus this just gave me ptsd from when I first started this game/level
Basically the entirety of Temporal Tower, including Dialga's theme
my eyes watered the whole way through...
The real dread is the anticipation of a monster house
Beautifully written comment

The way this track is used, and the fact that it is a remix of the Time Gear theme, is just one of the many things I love about this game...
The clock ticking is genius!

Tick tock... the journeys coming to an end...
Late reply but I agree! Was always one of the themes I remembered the most from this game.
*Temporal Spire* is the last straight line before reaching the top of the tower. I kept getting stressed literally and what really bothered me was *Porygon2* and *Porygon-Z* *Discharge* downright. In any case the music I find it really very cool.
Same here! My poor mate Piplup... but luckily I played as Pikachu, at least one of us handled It better 😂
Why don't they try fighting dialga all at once
I had trouble with Bronzongs and Metagrosses (surprisingly not Salamence) since I was a riolu
That shift from 3/4 to 4/4 is so cool
Isn't it the other way around? from 4/4 to 3/4 at 0:40? or are you referring to the one at 2:03?
6/8 or 12/8 would make more sense but yeah
I’m pretty sure it’s 12/4 with the ticking and 12/8 for the rest.
@@emerald3616 this ain’t a King Crimson song
@@dabiga2315 that's exactly what they said. 3/4 -> 4/4
This is where it sinks in: *you’re almost there.*

BAHAAHAH TRUE
LITERALLY LMFAO
Same damn
What if you wanted to reach Dialga, but god said: "It’s a monster house!"

Probably one of the most unsettling songs I've ever heard in a game. This is just too good...
The calm before the storm
Easily one of the best endgame area themes in all of gaming.
This games soundtrack is probably the best soundtrack to come out of Pokemon. Every song in this game is amazing. Hidden land being my personal favorite and this being second behind it. They really know how to set the mood and flow of the game.
I personally prefer Rescue Team's soundtrack, but Explorers' soundtrack it amazing too. This is probably my favorite dungeon theme in the game

man i will never get over how amazing this whole story arc is, and the music is just phenomenal, god
i love how the clock ticking transitions to the chiming of a bell tower

Right!?
My gang died due to cringe
Let me win. LET ME WIIIIIIIIN!
Yeah i wanna say this primal dialga when i am kid XD

All I can think of is either Porygon2 or Porygon-Z spamming the shit out of Discharge
Man playing this game as pika really makes you not afraid of anything.
In other words, haha discharge go buzzzzz
Shinx was also S tier
this was the part where the game told you to buckle your fuckles and get ready for some goddamn feels
and it did a perfect job at it

this song reminds me of the final moments where I remember I have to say goodbye soon to the friend I got to meet and befriend time and time again
Salamence, Metagross & Porygon - the theme song
Porygon Z 2 or all of them
Time is up. Time is ill. Have to do this even if it kills you.
i never actually noticed the clock in the background
The clock is ticking...
You know you're gonna die, but you keep going because you've got a job to do.
Music-wise, Temporal Spire is even better than Temporal Tower.
Second best song in the game, just behind Deep Dusk Forest.
I've heard this song multiple times. Stupid Primal Dialga KO-ing me...

Does anyone else hear faint humming at 0:30?
Yes there is a chorus used there.
Listening to this now while my copy of the game is still shipping, before it gives me PTSD for some reason
Yep, kept on going back over and over again here, till i managed finally

Unpopular opinion. I prefer this song before Temporal Tower. I wish someone could make a good remix with this song.
Ah yes, the theme of dying repeatedly to porygons and salamences
Holy crud I just got all the goosebumps coming back to this
undoubtedly the best song in the entire game.
