Good night Terra
GOOOOODDDD MORNING VICTORIA
Good night Kristen
Great analysis!
She achieved her goal, using all means necessary, leaving everyone behind. She reached the sky (space). It was her parents' goal, and, after their tragic death - her own goal.
Thanks for the analysis.
It seems you're still missing "Whistle Stop"
It released about a month ago together with Arsonist and Echoism
How dare your community not request it xD
Logos Cockblock is real 💀
song is fucking amazing, shame a lot of these songs never actually show up in game, but having them made at all is still great as basically official fanart from the devs
I honestly didn't know about this song, since it was only recently released; it wasn't released with Lone Trail, even though the character is from that event.
This song is for Kristen Wright, who is actually an NPC, not a playable operator, which is why I believe it wasn't released with Lone Trail, since it's not an operator theme.
And yes, the name is a reference to the Wright brothers. Really fitting if you ask me with the song's theme of touching the sky.
This song was released for the Lone Trail rerun on CN, I think ^^
@@SerenDark and it should be part of a new Monster Siren Series of songs, "The Figure" I believe. It focuses on important NPC figures in the story
Her name is also a reference to the first American woman in space! Who also, coincidentally, started her own science lab with her long time partner. Very fun indeed!
Goodnight, Terra
Goodnight, Universe
Goodnight, Kristen
Lone trail was an amazing story with such an amazing character 'Kirsten Wright'
"Good Night Terra"
Kristen Wright achieved her goal but like another commenter said, she sacrificed everything for it.
This is actually a new song not released with thr event but is for a lone trail npc!
Fun fact is that her name is a reference for both the first people to ever fly (the Wright brothers) and the first American woman in space (Sally Kristen Ride). Control's Wishes was her boss theme.
If looking for more AK songs Id love to see Whistle Stop! Its funky but I grew to enjoy it
RAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH KRISTEN MY BELOVED
ok for a bit of context, if you remember the track "Control's Wishes", it's that character, "Control" is like a codename of sorts. She's my favourite character and I love this song, it fits her so well
i made this comment before watching the video, you probably know this already lmao 💀
shes ur fave? damn tragic
@@galeria_m she'll be playable in endfield trust me my uncle works at hg 😭😭😭
That went so hard, that's actually insane...
Banger lighting banger song
Not sure if this is relevant, but I feel like they put more effort into the visuals this time because unlike most other EPs, this one isn't for a playable gacha character but instead a major antagonist.
Yo that lighting is actually pretty dam good.
Lone Trail music is great, esthetics is great, characters is great, story is great. This was peak Arknights on everything.
Hi, I'm a lurker that never comments but watches all your videos lol 😉
Your analysis of her lore and personality are pretty much on top.
--- TLDR Lore Dump ---
The world of Terra has a fake sky surrounding it and flying at a certain height is deadly as a kind of a barrier exists.
Her parents died in an attempt to fly past the barrier and were ridiculed and deemed as idiots for doing it. She was a kid at the time.
Her whole purpose is to prove her parents had a reason, so by any means she managed to create a rocket capable of breaking the barrier.
She is a likable antagonist that literally made a hole in the sky, people finally acknowledged the effort and discovered new secrets.
Now she's supposedly dead in the outer space.
--- End of Lore Dump ---
People can correct me if I missed a point.
This song is mostly on repeat when I'm working, it's so good.
Kristen was going where she was going whether the rest of Terra would follow her or not. xD
This music has the same vibe as Ex Astris ending theme. Both person are leaving in a sense while Kirsten leaving Terra pursuing her believes, Yan leaving Allindo coming back to home after she finished her investigation.
Try more DEFAULT songs plz
also re: the story discussion, I think the character based on the song definitely qualifies as insane, she basically has 1 life goal to get to space and goes to insane lengths to reach it and promises the world to anyone who will help her accomplish it and uses them all and betrays/abandons everyone at the end once she is able to reach it (because if they knew what she was going to do they would stop her). but she totally pushed science forward a huge amount in the course of doing so and made some huge discoveries about the world that nobody knew before
She didn't promise world to anyone. She was just walking towards her goal, rhine lab is just a byproduct of her path. Plus, she still helped her colleagues, for example, she installed an arboretum for Mumu. Abandon is the right word, but I don't agree with betrays.
@@Cosyacor she made a lot of promises and lies to the government to get money with no intention of doing what they wanted her to do
Kirsten abandon Rhine and betray the government
Being frank. I am not sure if this is Eric Castro. Both Itunes and Spotify under this track tag Edine and Eric. Eric Castro is not directly credited as far as I can see.
who’s frank? and why are you being them?
Speaking of Lone Trail I don't think you've listened to Ad Astra yet 😅
I like this light setup
Good night kirsten.
Kirsten Wright (that is the NPC name in the song) is basically a researcher (and head of Rhine Lab) which will sacrifice everything (including herself) for her aim (which in this case world beyond the barrier (if we say in our term is outer space (as real earth actually has some kind of barrier))). She basically just use everything for herself thus this lead to questionable decision like making weapon (which like a nuke but worse) for a fund, using people life as a fuel, "human" experimentation, etc. This lead to beef to her only best friend Saria after certain incident. Thus in the end, she die(?) alone albeit she achieve her goal.
Space music for Arknights is great
Such a good song, genuinely makes me cry every time
what Kristen did was indeed crazy and she hurt a lot of people in pursuit of her goal, with how single minded she was
But that goal was well worth it and kinda like the Space Race in real life, it sent an electric shock to mankind, saying "Yes, we can do it"
nice analysis!
I love this lighting, looks cool 😁. Thanks for the analysis!
Perfect lighting for this specific song lol
The plot was as great as the music :D
The song's style feels incredibly familiar/nostalgic to me but i have no idea what to compare it to.
The only thing i can think of is a couple of tom york songs but that's a bit of a reach i think.
I can't point you to a specific artist but it reminds me of metropolitan alternative rock of France and late 90s Tokyo.
Like Blur, maybe. Or some french underground singer...
Might be my new favorite Arknights song, not counting the Mili one
I'd like to recommend some Arknights music
Der Hexenkënig ("The Witch King", battle theme from recent event on Global; that one is interesting - a fan composer got to officially create a song for the event) ruclips.net/video/yJSXFmDZ3Ew/видео.html
Or, since last time you reacted to any IntegratedStrategies content was a long time ago (some music from IS1 and IS2), I can recommend:
大群之殤
("Sorrow of We Many", first boss battle theme from IS3) ruclips.net/video/yfur2QQ-RjA/видео.html
or
Andarsár
("Mental wound", second boss battle theme from IS4) ruclips.net/video/OoQUqxz-8cA/видео.html
Or, did you know: Arknights had 2 collab events with Rainbow Six Siege already, here is a lobby theme from their second Collab event ruclips.net/video/llJGpIx3y7o/видео.htmlsi=Li8tEgKoSTVHw0fg
Also, fun fact: basically for all event collabs characters are transported into world of Arknights (Isekai)
The lightning looks pretty nice, and a happy accident that matched the song very well.
Mysterious green light really fit this song lol
a new line of character songs (focusing on NPCs?) is not something I ever expected
and idk if it's erik castro or even anyone from hexany
either way I'm even more excited for the future now
Getting shivers after that countdown
this song gives me HEAVY Transistor vibes
I do recommend you read lonetrail story. It is long, but will definitely worth your time.
Lighting looks dope!
;-; beautiful.
Good night, Terra.
this song is such a banger
Please react to Dust and The Puppet from Punishing Gray Raven.
