Honest tho if most animes did flashbacks half as well as this game I wouldn't bitch about them all the time Although I guess this game had the fact that part of its entire premise is collecting memories going for it
How can you feel bad for oliver? It was just generic anime trope. The first guy that helps you goes insane and oh no, i am supposed to cut down the guy i knew for 10 minutes, which i feel zero connection to, whatsoever. I slaughtered that dude down and didnt think back on it, its not sad, the dude was there for merely a few minutes.
Just have your character look like Oliver, change the name to Oliver, and ignore everything between meeting and fighting Oliver. Oliver is now the main character.
Hieu Dang I mean he did in my play through with his ability’s he gave me the strength to make it to the end and see a better world freed from the lost I just wish he was able to see it
@@lolwero Seriously, I can't quite describe it but there's something genius about the combination of the piano and cello there... It's like the music is saying "man things are really going to shit" but in a more subtle and sombre way. I really can't do the music in this game justice with my words but any song that can tell a story with just its melody is 11/10 for me
I NEVER get tired of hearing this whenever I enter Lost memories. I always look forward to finding all of them and then bawl my eyes out at the tragic story paired with the music..
Same here, this song is a big reason why I even went after the memories, and when I got to the end of the memory I would just sit and listen to the music
Sadly, I cant say the same. This is why Oliver's Vestige hit the hardest for me. Great companion, great guy, met with tragedy. And it being my first time hearing this track really makes it hit so much harder.
This, I actually teared up at that the end of his memories, it was really damn sad to see and how his friends wanted to do everythinh to protect Yakumo as well
I thought riki was an asshole but then he fucking went and actually sacrificed himself for our boi yakumo because he believed in yakumo this entire time
Rip to the valuable partner who came to my aid last night. The 20mins we played together was something special. Tho we never spoke a word to one another, it was as if we knew exactly what each other was thinking.... then Io slipped off a ledge fighting a white halbert lost and you died saving me from the boss... I managed to solo last bit of HP and thus continued on with the story. At the cost of a good friend, Thank You.
Code Vein. The one anime game that has more tragic flashback episodes than any of the anime games ever made by Namco combined. Honestly, I never got tired of it.

When you accidentally get the full ending on the first run and now you feel like shit because your character will have to do literally worse plot-wise in the following playthroughs...
TK月 Yep, I just finished the bad ending, and this song plays, I felt like trash. Of course I didn’t record all of it so I’m probably going to have to do it again so I can record it all with all of my characters.
"NO. We're not leaving anyone else behind, not till I can punch Yakumo in his face again!" "I felt human everytime I gave out those blood beads." "...Thank you for your dedicated service." Not far into this game, but each dying words from the characters tug at my heart. Makes me scared each time I pick up a vestige.
Then the story did its purpose. It reminds me so much of Nier Gestalt. Your choices no matter how simple they may be, Effect how it ends and gives you one fucking hell of a feels trip.
The memory sequence of Louis visiting Cruz in the hospital is one of my favourite "cutscenes" in gaming. And, though the game was a bit obscure about it, I should have discovered it earlier, (The sheer number of things to put in your build kind of kept my mind occupied) but I remember freezing for a few seconds when I noticed her blood code was the same person as the Queen's *bodypart* just without the sad blue eyes, and instead of giving incredibly powerful offensive gifts, giving ones that offer self sacrifice for others.
Lol mr super nerd , maybe actually read the damn story and maybe you will find out , and not insult people on the internet for your own ignorance , dear god get a life loser
@@xiii0trapper773 Oof. Imagine if 4Kidz or whoever made that atrocious meme was in charge of Code Vein and we end up with that sad *spoiler* riceball scene (where the characters now say jelly-filled donuts instead of riceball) Do we cry or laugh?
Thought you was talking about the mmo onigiri... I was getting Vietnam flashbacks on mags and droprates and bosses that take like fucking billions of HP to kill... No beyond billions like 999999999999 damage and they eat that shit like it's a snack. LIKE WTF. HOW!!? WHY!!? FIX YOUR FUCKING GAME CYBERSTEP THESE BOSSES SHOULDN'T BE EATING GODS SMITE!
Oh, this? It's called "onigiri." It's a kind of food that's easy to carry around. Not that there's any point in eating food for a revenant. Although we may thirst for blood, we never grow hungry. ...Still, I think that makes eating all the more meaningful for us. We fight, we drink blood, we revive, we fight some more... Our lives are pretty much one endless loop. But every time you go around, you almost forget... that we were all human once. If I completely lost the memory of my human past, I wouldn't be me anymore. I'd just be... something in the shape of me. I'd look like a revenant, but on the inside I'd be no different to the Lost. What's the point of living like that? I served in the army, back before I became a revenant. We always used to eat these things when we were out on missions. I guess... it helps me remember. It was a miserable time, but I made some good friends that I shouldn't let myself forget. This stuff doesn't really taste that great, but eating it always reminds me of those friends. So, I guess you could say it helps me stay me. It's been an important companion in my life!

I cried when i realized that the memories we were going into belonged to someone, and that every single lost we killed along the way was someone as well with there own memories. That shit hit me. Olivers personal story was terribly sad but when I knew what was going on I was like "damn..."
The Song is sad alright but i dont know if my heart could take as much damage as it did with the combination of "Dweller in the Dark" ending + the Song "Amber Journey" ... that caught me off guard and went right into the feels.
Playing Bloodborne I acually had this song pop up on my playlist right when I was talking with a dying Ludwig. Almost teared up when he said "Good Hunter of the Church, Have you seen the light? Are my Church Hunters the honorable spartans I hoped they would be? Ah, good...that is a relief. To know I did not suffer such denigration for nothing. Thank you kindly. Now I may sleep in peace. Even in this darkest of nights, I see...the moonlight..."
Im pissed. I just fought him in the demo and didnt even realize it was him until the very last of his echos with the "at least one of us makes it" line. Kinda salty now. I actually liked him. For all of 10 minutes at least
It's probably just because it's a demo. I think we'd get a bit more time with the nice lad in the full game, even if only just to make his death even more impactful ;
Cheers to the absolute god who ran me through the entire cathedral to get 100%, somehow surviving the last journey and two Mistles while I was on literally 1 HP with no regeneration. Then left so I could rest before the boss fight. Also cheers to the person who joined me for that boss, you died at the last second and I was able to land the last hit. I’m so sorry I didn’t save you. I took the gift off my bar by accident.
"Well, I guess you reap what you sow, right? Well, that's alright. What's important is that... at least one of us makes it." Oliver's last words before joining the lost
Directly tying the (usually only novelty) Collectibles system with Skill acquisition and Character Development was an outstanding boardroom decision. Respect.
When I played this game, I initially thought that it wouldn’t be any different from Dark Souls. I was proven wrong immediately when I killed Oliver. From then on, I vowed to listen to every single memory and ended up getting the achievement for restoring all memories on my first play through. However... after finishing the DLC... I kinda feel empty, as this game captivated me for months as I worked to 100% complete it. This game will hold a very special place in my heart that VERY few games will ever even come close to, the raw emotion that is packed into these fragments of memory is enough to make even the toughest out there cry... I am forever thankful to have had the opportunity to play such an amazing piece of art, and I hope you enjoy it just as much as I
Oilver: Hey. Me: Eh. *Oliver saves me from death numerous times* Me: ...Eh. *We do well together.* Me: You're not bad. *Oliver takes a hit and we have to seperate.* Me: I... Ok? *Louis appears and we end up killing Oliver* Me: Bruh... Why...? *memory plays with this theme* Me: ... Why ;-;
If you felt this bit was incredibly amazing/emotional, or if you feel familiarity in the composition, it's because this was composed by the same person who made Tanjiro no Uta, the incredibly emotional score that played when he discovered hinokami
I really liked this track. And yeah. We hardly knew ye Oliver... but damn if I didn't mourn all the same. Especially... considering that the Lost... can't even find their peace in death...
Imagine going through this whole game with your friends, having been through all the memory of the lost feels and all, and Code Vein 2 puts a huge fucking feels spanner in the emotional works, by corrupting Louis, Yakumo, Mia, Murasame, etc. eventually leading to you as a protagonist having to slay each and every one of them... And their Vestiges will be memories of you with them in the previous game... No no! The feels are enough from this game 😭
After Oliver got attacked and his mask broke, then turned into the Lost, killing him then walking through his memory was SO sad... *"Someone needs to be sacrificed"*
You know, it'd be funny if it wasn't so heartbreaking, but the way Oliver turned Lost is very similar to what happened to us during Operation Queenslayer. Our mask is knocked off and we're almost immediately overwhelmed by the miasma, forcing Jack to try and mercy-kill us, similar to how we had to put Oliver out of his misery.
The fact that this masterpiece isn’t included in the official game soundtrack is a heinous crime. This song is beautiful and deserves to be shared. I physically can’t listen to it enough, tears be damned
This is an amazing track. Usually I'm not a fan of linear "walk from one end to the other" sections in games, but this game honestly made me savour each and every one of those moments, and this track was a big part of the reason for that. Well, that and the fact the stories are genuinely tragic and compelling.
This game is so fucking good, finished this like when we’re quarantined back when covid thing happened. Got best ending in one try. One of my best game experience after Horizon Zero Dawn,
My god, this is beautiful. So glad i'm getting this on pre-order and it will be the Day 1 Edition too, with EB exclusves (hopefully i get what others get with EB) this gonna be my ps4 theme for a while.
The part I like the most in repairing the vestiges is this soul crushing theme with all the memories being heard. Basically all of it, but I stay around a lil more to listen to it
Im not crying, you are, i swear The memories were super sad 😭 But the story to the game is so good too Miss Oliver, wish he coulda stayed alive, i liked him
This fits Oliver's character SO well. A flunkie like so many others that had no choice but to turn to murder, and in the end, even if it all was worth nothing, he found himself again to lend a helping hand to those that needed it, and maybe fill that nihilistic void with something, maybe, just maybe of a worth he believed in.
I screamed no so loud when Io turned to ash the police came to my house. this is not a joke. i was crying so hard the police asked me if eveything was alright. they left dumbfounded after i answered their question. leaves me pain, story still funny.😢😂😅
I legit came back after finding louis and before heading out to the surface, seeing him gone, thinking he awaits us later in the game, only to finding him went insane, damn i gotta say the first parts of the game was the best in this game
Me: meeting Oliver Me: he talks a lot Oliver: *gets hurt* Me: I don’t like where this is going, you better survive *game gets a little hard to play without him* *oliver dies* Me: imma miss him
One of the best themes from one of the best souls likes. I’m saying this as someone who had played and beaten all but one Fromsoft souls game and has played majority of the Soulslikes. That means this places over the likes of Nioh and The Surge for me! This game was just something special and originally I disliked the anime art style but now love it.
To this day I have no idea why it took me this long to look up the OST just for this track...emotional damage I suppose from my seemingly hundreds of playthroughs I've done and in all that time one thing has remained ever constant: there is one memory corridor I truly wanted to see more than anything else, The Queen's the Monster itself: I wanted to see if she truly felt she had no choice but to do what she did, much has been considered over the years and now here I am still longing to know the answer, despite Cruz's eternal struggle the feelings I wanted to know were the Queen's, at the end of the day I suppose the answer matters little...maybe one day we'll get a sequel and I might get my answer...not holding my breath though.
Well, it was leaked a while ago that there was a Code Vein 2 planned by the company. And from what I understand of the story, Cruz was fighting against the mental manifestation of her particular BOR parasite, and it was too powerful for her to win against. And so, it fully took over her body, while she still had enough mental fortitude to be more or less conscious, but unable to fight back as she watched her body kill and destroy everything she held dear to her, likely for years upon years, before she was taken out by the player and finally able to do something other than watch, as the manifestation lost enough of its hold on her for her to create the Attendants. And that really makes her story all the sadder, knowing that she could only watch as this absurdly powerful malevolent force used her body to kill her own family and friends, over and over until most of them would have lost themselves.
@@omnitroid8390 Glad to see that there is a sequel in the works or at least planned at this point, that said I would like to add something to my earlier point since you pointed out a few things to me...while I do understand the entity known as "Queen" may have been acting on pure instinct, and with louis saying "when the Queen...When Cruz Frenzied" I don't think it was a true frenzy the queen exhibits certain characteristics that don't match the typical lost frenzy, (As I understand them anyway) during the fight against Jack and the player she was capable of rational thought and only really zeroed in on the player once your Mask filter (I cant remember the name of these things, I'm not sure if it was ever really specified), was damaged and you became vulnerable, so because of all this I choose to believe that the Queen was a much more complex entity then we know.
@@Dark2857 It’s a purifier mask. I believe one of the dudes in the cell when you first start the game explains it if you don’t immediately go for the mask and then the ladder. Also, of course the queen would be more complex than a lost. They were trying to create, instead of just another BOR parasite, a sort of end-all be-all parasite. And with them not knowing what the hell they were doing, I wouldn’t doubt for a second that they accidentally, in addition to making an incredibly powerful lost, made an incredibly powerful lost that had more comprehensive power than just “kill things”. Remember, Jack also said that the Queen could twist other lost into doing her bidding and protecting her. So project Queen, I believe, was specifically made to try and control all of the lost, and potentially bring them back to their humanity. Or if nothing else, to try and use the lost as weapons, like Mido’s own experiments seem to have led to. Essentially, they made a “Queen” of the lost, so it only makes sense, to me at least, that it would have some form of rudimentary consciousness, if not full consciousness.
"Memory of the lost" Searching for the memory of the lost people through the entire game is really emotionnal. And it is the only way to have the "good" ending too. Beautifull song that make a lot of sense the more you progressing.
After finally beating the game I’ve felt both happy and sad, happy to have finished my journey but sad to have loved and lost so many along the way, even though my quest is complete I yearn to continue the adventure as long as possible before I soon reach my inevitable demise, my only regret was failing to save myself from myself
I never play the game, but i like the tunes. It reminding me about my past that i was looking for but my memory is blurry could'nt find it. I had a terrible past since my high school year i want to forget it.
This game is a fucking masterpiece. THIS game is what brought me into Souls games believe it or not. Brought me into a series that gave me over 10,000 hours of pure joy and happiness. Sometimes pain lol. I will truly never forget Code Vein.
So I just learned Go Shiinna had a hand in the obscure klonoa 2 ost, one of the the greatest in video games. Seriously, go listen to some of the klonoa 2 songs even if you haven't played the game.
This song made me remember how I always wanted to learn piano. been stuck in "survival" mode for a year or two now and this reminded me to live a little tbh
The last game that actually made me cry and feel for a character was in Final Fantasy Crisis Core. The game made me feel like I knew the characters in there for years. Then once I played Code Vein, flashbacks and emotions started rushing through me and found myself tearing up for a character I barely knew for 10 minutes but felt like years. I’m late to comment and play this game, but I don’t regret it one bit. This game will always have a spot in my heart for years to come. 😭❤️

@@xiii0trapper773 Oof. Imagine if 4Kidz or whoever made that atrocious meme was in charge of Code Vein and we end up with that sad *spoiler* riceball scene (where the characters now say jelly-filled donuts instead of riceball)
Do we cry or laugh?
Thought you was talking about the mmo onigiri... I was getting Vietnam flashbacks on mags and droprates and bosses that take like fucking billions of HP to kill... No beyond billions like 999999999999 damage and they eat that shit like it's a snack. LIKE WTF. HOW!!? WHY!!? FIX YOUR FUCKING GAME CYBERSTEP THESE BOSSES SHOULDN'T BE EATING GODS SMITE!
Oh, this? It's called "onigiri." It's a kind of food that's easy to carry around. Not that there's any point in eating food for a revenant. Although we may thirst for blood, we never grow hungry. ...Still, I think that makes eating all the more meaningful for us. We fight, we drink blood, we revive, we fight some more... Our lives are pretty much one endless loop. But every time you go around, you almost forget... that we were all human once. If I completely lost the memory of my human past, I wouldn't be me anymore. I'd just be... something in the shape of me. I'd look like a revenant, but on the inside I'd be no different to the Lost. What's the point of living like that?
I served in the army, back before I became a revenant. We always used to eat these things when we were out on missions. I guess... it helps me remember. It was a miserable time, but I made some good friends that I shouldn't let myself forget. This stuff doesn't really taste that great, but eating it always reminds me of those friends. So, I guess you could say it helps me stay me. It's been an important companion in my life!

Code Vein: *HEY KID WANT SOME DEPRESSION*
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT, I DON'T NEED MORE HEARTBREAK!!!
A moment of peace for;
Oliver Collins
Kevin
Riki
Miguel
Carmilla
Murasame's subordinates.
and the successors unfortunate enough to be in the same world as the thousands of protagonists with 0 exploration skills
And blade bearer, she appeared in a dlc vestige
In the walls, many stories
Frozen in time
They want to be free
In this museum of memories
Finding my way
I search forever
Crystalline fragments are all I see
Shining brightly, glimmering
Why are they all out of reach
Then I can't be complete
Fleeting memory
Turning to ash
I can't escape
I persist in this futility
One more step, I go
"Once someone is lost, they can never go back"
fuuuuck
the successors would like to have a word with you if you restore all their memories
the successors are different because they had relics within them and were snapped out of frenzy early on like Mia and Eva was, Oliver became lost instantly because of the miasma
@@FerrickAnima Mia wasn't a successor though, her little brother was
@@Kagetora- what I meant is Mia went Frenzy but was brought back with treatment
@@FerrickAnima thats Frenzy thats treatable.. Loss is not thats the end result of Frenzy.
It also plays when you're on the ps4 home screen for Code Vein.
Does the theme come with the release of the game?
@@Soxmember69 There are some themes I think you can get with codes
@@Soxmember69 www.reddit.com/r/codevein/comments/d0wnr9/all_links_and_keywords_for_the_retailer/?st=k0t8dj3x&sh=d88c5afe Here's a guide to download some free themes. You have to make a Japanese PSN account, but if you download them onto the same PS4 as your regular account you can use it. But what they're talking about is if you go to the game's icon on the home screen and press down, you'll be brought to the game's overview screen. This song plays there.
How can someone dislike this song? Its touching my heart. Geez...
Something tells me it's people who are like "eww anime, only filthy WEEBS like that stuff. I'm too cool for that because I refuse to enjoy something because it's not American" sorry, got a little salty thinking about people who are like that
@@elitef3642 feel you xD same here in germany, if you say you like anime and stuff, you get Looks like "what a weirdo, creep" yare yare daze
because the lost dont have Heart or soul
@@SleepyMaelys Well, they weren't really taught that bo matter where you go, there's weird people everywhere you go, and even those you've been know since.
@@SleepyMaelys I know exactly what you mean but for my friends I'm the Weeb and they're nerds so we get along just fine
All people feelings over Oliver and that is alright he is great but what about my boy Kevin? ;-;
He didn't deserve what happened to him...
But wait until you see the rest.
Carmilla, Riki, Miguel, the successors....
@@SirePuns Was about to say, "What about my girl Carmilla?"
More like what about everyone whole plot is depressing
That's why you fight to change that, so nobody must suffer further.
@@ivorysix2541 Depends on the ending if that actually happens tho
Who cried on Louis’s memories.
Was so sad and with this sound track playing made it feel deep..
THE FEELS!!! 😭😭
I refer to youtube user Blackforestcake posted the lyrics in another video.
I believe the lyrics are:
In the walls, many stories
Frozen in time
They want to be free
In this museum of memories
Finding my way
I search forever
Crystalline fragments of all I see
Shining brightly, glimmering
Why are they all out of reach
And I can't be complete
Fleeting memory
Turning to ash
I can't escape
I persist in this futility
One more step, I go
Cry more now
I def shed a thug tear. I was 1000% in my feelings
I cried when i realized that the memories we were going into belonged to someone, and that every single lost we killed along the way was someone as well with there own memories. That shit hit me. Olivers personal story was terribly sad but when I knew what was going on I was like "damn..."
The Song is sad alright but i dont know if my heart could take as much damage as it did with the combination of "Dweller in the Dark" ending + the Song "Amber Journey" ... that caught me off guard and went right into the feels.
It is touching for sure. Especially if you are playing and very interested in story
Playing Bloodborne I acually had this song pop up on my playlist right when I was talking with a dying Ludwig. Almost teared up when he said "Good Hunter of the Church,
Have you seen the light?
Are my Church Hunters the honorable spartans I hoped they would be?
Ah, good...that is a relief.
To know I did not suffer such denigration for nothing.
Thank you kindly. Now I may sleep in peace.
Even in this darkest of nights, I see...the moonlight..."
This song fits good with cainhurst or Astral clock tower too i think
Collins deserved more time or atleast more dialogue in his boss fight.
Caught me off guard how fast they killed him off
Im pissed. I just fought him in the demo and didnt even realize it was him until the very last of his echos with the "at least one of us makes it" line. Kinda salty now. I actually liked him. For all of 10 minutes at least
It's probably just because it's a demo. I think we'd get a bit more time with the nice lad in the full game, even if only just to make his death even more impactful ;
just imagine how much harder it would be to kill him if he had voice lines though
He was ..a sad character ..But then again, almost everything about Code Vein is sad
I want a code vein 2, this game was a masterpiece
Cheers to the absolute god who ran me through the entire cathedral to get 100%, somehow surviving the last journey and two Mistles while I was on literally 1 HP with no regeneration. Then left so I could rest before the boss fight.
Also cheers to the person who joined me for that boss, you died at the last second and I was able to land the last hit. I’m so sorry I didn’t save you. I took the gift off my bar by accident.
"Well, I guess you reap what you sow, right?
Well, that's alright. What's important is that... at least one of us makes it."
Oliver's last words before joining the lost
Directly tying the (usually only novelty) Collectibles system with Skill acquisition and Character Development was an outstanding boardroom decision. Respect.
When I played this game, I initially thought that it wouldn’t be any different from Dark Souls. I was proven wrong immediately when I killed Oliver. From then on, I vowed to listen to every single memory and ended up getting the achievement for restoring all memories on my first play through. However... after finishing the DLC... I kinda feel empty, as this game captivated me for months as I worked to 100% complete it. This game will hold a very special place in my heart that VERY few games will ever even come close to, the raw emotion that is packed into these fragments of memory is enough to make even the toughest out there cry... I am forever thankful to have had the opportunity to play such an amazing piece of art, and I hope you enjoy it just as much as I
Carmilla's vestiges while also going through Mia's tho ;A;
i cried too during carmillia's vestiges
I want this song to be played at my funeral.
Been playing and listening for years, not many games have music that hits as hard as this
We deserve a sequel
Oilver: Hey.
Me: Eh.
*Oliver saves me from death numerous times*
Me: ...Eh.
*We do well together.*
Me: You're not bad.
*Oliver takes a hit and we have to seperate.*
Me: I... Ok?
*Louis appears and we end up killing Oliver*
Me: Bruh... Why...?
*memory plays with this theme*
Me: ... Why ;-;
bruh ...
wish they did stuff like this more would have been a much more dramatic story
Man I almost cried when they were showing oliver's memories with this theme
Ain’t that the god damn truth?
@@Ask4This wym
I actually really love the current game’s music score
code vein is a very underrated game, it is a really good game, totally worth playing
If you felt this bit was incredibly amazing/emotional, or if you feel familiarity in the composition, it's because this was composed by the same person who made Tanjiro no Uta, the incredibly emotional score that played when he discovered hinokami
I had no idea! Thank you so much for that tidbit!
@@ghostofpolaris Go Shiina, that guy can compose but usually goes for video games instead of anime
This is the best track in Code Vein hands down. It even tops the main theme in my eyes.
I really liked this track.
And yeah. We hardly knew ye Oliver... but damn if I didn't mourn all the same. Especially... considering that the Lost... can't even find their peace in death...
We legit fight Oliver again and again if we fight him in the depths, prisoner of the abyss
He deserves to be saved and protected like anyone else
Imagine going through this whole game with your friends, having been through all the memory of the lost feels and all, and Code Vein 2 puts a huge fucking feels spanner in the emotional works, by corrupting Louis, Yakumo, Mia, Murasame, etc. eventually leading to you as a protagonist having to slay each and every one of them...
And their Vestiges will be memories of you with them in the previous game...
No no! The feels are enough from this game 😭
If this das a bioware game, you can bet your ass they would do it.
Ghost Mist Mia’s will just be getting killed by a fucking a ledge over and over again and me saving everybody but her brother
@@shaun2566 With me her memories would be non-existent as I only ever used Louis, Io, or Jack (for one-shot builds and farming.)
Don't you dare to give this crazy ideas plis, i wouldnt survive without tears
I would slay them with tears, literally... No exception
After Oliver got attacked and his mask broke, then turned into the Lost, killing him then walking through his memory was SO sad...
*"Someone needs to be sacrificed"*
And then you end up fighting him again in the depths. Twice.
Fuck😢
@@GenshinLover283 I know, I was gutted to kill him again...
You know, it'd be funny if it wasn't so heartbreaking, but the way Oliver turned Lost is very similar to what happened to us during Operation Queenslayer. Our mask is knocked off and we're almost immediately overwhelmed by the miasma, forcing Jack to try and mercy-kill us, similar to how we had to put Oliver out of his misery.
@@HunhowsShadowStalker Unlike Jack, we hesitated, and Oliver died a monster.
This game is underrated masterpiece
Not included in the soundtrack of the collector's edition. Great.
The fact that this masterpiece isn’t included in the official game soundtrack is a heinous crime. This song is beautiful and deserves to be shared. I physically can’t listen to it enough, tears be damned
I got invested in these characters so quickly and this is my punishment.
This is an amazing track. Usually I'm not a fan of linear "walk from one end to the other" sections in games, but this game honestly made me savour each and every one of those moments, and this track was a big part of the reason for that. Well, that and the fact the stories are genuinely tragic and compelling.
This game is so fucking good, finished this like when we’re quarantined back when covid thing happened. Got best ending in one try. One of my best game experience after Horizon Zero Dawn,
i miss those memorys i made with this game, it will always have a special place in my heart🥲
My god, this is beautiful. So glad i'm getting this on pre-order and it will be the Day 1 Edition too, with EB exclusves (hopefully i get what others get with EB) this gonna be my ps4 theme for a while.
The part I like the most in repairing the vestiges is this soul crushing theme with all the memories being heard.
Basically all of it, but I stay around a lil more to listen to it
Im not crying, you are, i swear
The memories were super sad 😭 But the story to the game is so good too
Miss Oliver, wish he coulda stayed alive, i liked him
They had one good ost and they play it soo much through out the game that it numb my brain
the ost was great all around.
If just Dark Souls had this mechanic.. imagine the feels..
I still go back thinking if I could save Black Iron Tarkus or Laurentius of the Great Swamp from DS1. Or at the very least see their last moments.
This fits Oliver's character SO well. A flunkie like so many others that had no choice but to turn to murder, and in the end, even if it all was worth nothing, he found himself again to lend a helping hand to those that needed it, and maybe fill that nihilistic void with something, maybe, just maybe of a worth he believed in.
The story fills the heart even if tragedy leaves you hollow
I screamed no so loud when Io turned to ash the police came to my house. this is not a joke. i was crying so hard the police asked me if eveything was alright. they left dumbfounded after i answered their question. leaves me pain, story still funny.😢😂😅
i want an actual anime for this 🥲
I legit came back after finding louis and before heading out to the surface, seeing him gone, thinking he awaits us later in the game, only to finding him went insane, damn i gotta say the first parts of the game was the best in this game
Oliver, you mean? But yeah... After finding the way out I also returned to look for him but he's gone...
So much love for Oliver in this comment section it made me shed a tear..
Me: meeting Oliver
Me: he talks a lot
Oliver: *gets hurt*
Me: I don’t like where this is going, you better survive
*game gets a little hard to play without him*
*oliver dies*
Me: imma miss him
GO SHIINA you always know how to tug at my heartstrings everytime. ;~;
One of the best themes from one of the best souls likes. I’m saying this as someone who had played and beaten all but one Fromsoft souls game and has played majority of the Soulslikes. That means this places over the likes of Nioh and The Surge for me! This game was just something special and originally I disliked the anime art style but now love it.
Oliver. One who wanted to live. But also one who wanted to help us in our time of need. Rest in peace my friend
I was leaning toward telling Oliver I didn't want him to join me, I still feel guilty I came so close to abandoning him.
Memorys of the Lost will still stay in my head..
for now.. and forever...
never cryed about a character so much I just know for 15 min
rip Oliver
i wonder why this and other variations of the theme aren't on spotify 😭 so beautiful
Imagine getting Oliver redeemed and becoming one of your homies at your base
Being able to save Oliver Collins as dlc please.
"Once you become Lost, you can never come back."
As much as it pains me too, hes gone forever guys.
next to Io main partner
@@CylentNite yes, 10000000000% buying it
I cried so hard for Nicolas... God! He was a little child but he is so much mature than all of us combined ! 😳👍
To this day I have no idea why it took me this long to look up the OST just for this track...emotional damage I suppose from my seemingly hundreds of playthroughs I've done and in all that time one thing has remained ever constant: there is one memory corridor I truly wanted to see more than anything else, The Queen's the Monster itself:
I wanted to see if she truly felt she had no choice but to do what she did, much has been considered over the years and now here I am still longing to know the answer, despite Cruz's eternal struggle the feelings I wanted to know were the Queen's, at the end of the day I suppose the answer matters little...maybe one day we'll get a sequel and I might get my answer...not holding my breath though.
Well, it was leaked a while ago that there was a Code Vein 2 planned by the company. And from what I understand of the story, Cruz was fighting against the mental manifestation of her particular BOR parasite, and it was too powerful for her to win against. And so, it fully took over her body, while she still had enough mental fortitude to be more or less conscious, but unable to fight back as she watched her body kill and destroy everything she held dear to her, likely for years upon years, before she was taken out by the player and finally able to do something other than watch, as the manifestation lost enough of its hold on her for her to create the Attendants. And that really makes her story all the sadder, knowing that she could only watch as this absurdly powerful malevolent force used her body to kill her own family and friends, over and over until most of them would have lost themselves.
@@omnitroid8390 Glad to see that there is a sequel in the works or at least planned at this point, that said I would like to add something to my earlier point since you pointed out a few things to me...while I do understand the entity known as "Queen" may have been acting on pure instinct, and with louis saying "when the Queen...When Cruz Frenzied" I don't think it was a true frenzy the queen exhibits certain characteristics that don't match the typical lost frenzy, (As I understand them anyway) during the fight against Jack and the player she was capable of rational thought and only really zeroed in on the player once your Mask filter (I cant remember the name of these things, I'm not sure if it was ever really specified), was damaged and you became vulnerable, so because of all this I choose to believe that the Queen was a much more complex entity then we know.
@@Dark2857 It’s a purifier mask. I believe one of the dudes in the cell when you first start the game explains it if you don’t immediately go for the mask and then the ladder. Also, of course the queen would be more complex than a lost. They were trying to create, instead of just another BOR parasite, a sort of end-all be-all parasite. And with them not knowing what the hell they were doing, I wouldn’t doubt for a second that they accidentally, in addition to making an incredibly powerful lost, made an incredibly powerful lost that had more comprehensive power than just “kill things”. Remember, Jack also said that the Queen could twist other lost into doing her bidding and protecting her. So project Queen, I believe, was specifically made to try and control all of the lost, and potentially bring them back to their humanity. Or if nothing else, to try and use the lost as weapons, like Mido’s own experiments seem to have led to. Essentially, they made a “Queen” of the lost, so it only makes sense, to me at least, that it would have some form of rudimentary consciousness, if not full consciousness.
"Memory of the lost" Searching for the memory of the lost people through the entire game is really emotionnal. And it is the only way to have the "good" ending too. Beautifull song that make a lot of sense the more you progressing.
After finally beating the game I’ve felt both happy and sad, happy to have finished my journey but sad to have loved and lost so many along the way, even though my quest is complete I yearn to continue the adventure as long as possible before I soon reach my inevitable demise, my only regret was failing to save myself from myself
This piece of art hit hard. I love it.
You can parry any enemy you want but what you can’t parry are the feelings
Still listening to this hauntingly beautiful piece
I never play the game, but i like the tunes. It reminding me about my past that i was looking for but my memory is blurry could'nt find it. I had a terrible past since my high school year i want to forget it.
I loved every second of these memories
This game is a fucking masterpiece. THIS game is what brought me into Souls games believe it or not. Brought me into a series that gave me over 10,000 hours of pure joy and happiness. Sometimes pain lol.
I will truly never forget Code Vein.
Whoooooo that’s a lot of hours dude
Completed all memories today and just the start of this song brings now smile and make me litle teary
When i go to sleep it starts to play in my mind
So I just learned Go Shiinna had a hand in the obscure klonoa 2 ost, one of the the greatest in video games. Seriously, go listen to some of the klonoa 2 songs even if you haven't played the game.
You know you're in the feel trip when you're restoring the Vestiges
Haven't played Code Vein in a couple of years, barely remember anything from the plot, but I always come back to this for the feels
The feels hit me harder than any NG+6 boss ever did.
This song made me remember how I always wanted to learn piano. been stuck in "survival" mode for a year or two now and this reminded me to live a little tbh
This is beautiful, the melody hits hard inside my heart.
Humanity isn't worthy of the Emotional masterpiece that Code Vein is!
They deserve the depression of Dark Souls.
I knew Code Vein was going to be good, but what I wasn't expecting was to find this masterpiece whilst playing. So beautiful.

1.The Feels
The feels with Nicola's memories made me cry ngl
just finished this game, such a good game
Probably one of the most underrated games I’ve ever played or seen… if not for the gameplay, the feels.
The last game that actually made me cry and feel for a character was in Final Fantasy Crisis Core. The game made me feel like I knew the characters in there for years. Then once I played Code Vein, flashbacks and emotions started rushing through me and found myself tearing up for a character I barely knew for 10 minutes but felt like years. I’m late to comment and play this game, but I don’t regret it one bit. This game will always have a spot in my heart for years to come. 😭❤️
