[@Blackcatxd053]

what I read, saw and felt in chapter 17 of PGR will be something that I will remember for a very long time, It was peak story telling, I think that never another gacha has made me feel the despair, the loneliness, the pain of an apocalypse, of the loss of life and humanity such as the part one of the chapter, one knife and then other, feeling how the survivors fell deeper and deeper, seeing people, survivors die in the most horrible ways trying to show that their life meant something. And within all that pain, despair, and hopelessness was Liv, carrying the torch of hope, an inextinguishable flame that only grew in power when it seemed to falter, fueled by boundless love and empathy, and at the same time a hatred for all the pain caused by the punishing virus. This song shows Liv's pain and at the same time her horrible failure to never think about herself, from her point of view all life and existence is more beautiful and precious than anything she could show and therefore everything is worth more than her , without knowing that she is (especially in this chapter) the greatest force of humanity. Liv loves life itself, she adores everything around her as if it is something beautiful that must be protected at all costs. and this gives strength to those around her, seeing this fragile girl run across the battlefield to save one more life causes an inextinguishable fire to those around her, shows the beauty of life and humanity It makes us forget how horrible we can be, because we can also be like her, and how beautiful can that be? Isn't it worth fighting for at least one person like that?

As a part of the PGR community I appreciate every content creator to experience any form of this game. Be it either music, story or gameplay. May this game gets the recognition it deserves. Wind's Sight, Liv song does perfectly explain the feeling chapter 17 represents, sacrifice, self worth and responsibility. If you listen the CN version, you hear her emotions.

[@shihabsharar3539]

I also love the JP version

[@twitzmixx8374]

My favorite is the japanese acoustic version of Wind's Sight. It played while I'm reading one of the most emotional part of the chapter, and it's just so raw and hits you in a different level because you're currently immersed to the context of story. Here's a link, if anyone's interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWjQh2V-nayXjKM Do note that Liv's VA in japanese sang this herself, and listening could spoil the vibe and story atmosphere at that very specific part of the story.

*Marco:* Reacts to PGR music. *Me:* I was summoned for this very moment. Your ability to able to discover a character's personality and their trials through music shall never stop to amaze me, man. You deserve to feel the story at your own pace and know the characters's developments. I like to think that violin is what represent Liv the most through this song. Her purity and kindness gives you this need to protect her, but in this theme, the role reverse and let said that never understimate an healer.

[@PlazDreamweaver]

Oh I love Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. And this reminds me, I've always thought sonata form as perfect for multi-phase boss battles. Not just because of its multiple movements, but also because of the storytelling format and how the different movements tell that story and then conclude it. Perfect for a dramatic boss battle in a story-based game. I'm definitely implementing this idea in my games.

Liv is my favorite character of PGR, and for good reason. It's nice how I liked her for all the hints the game gave about her much prior to the current chapter (which is currently the peak writing of the series on Global) and your on-point observations are further proof of that. Subcontext, visuals and music go a long way telling a story and Liv's is a most bittersweetly beautiful one indeed. I'm so happy you reacted to this!! This song means a lot to me and I loved being brought attention to the fact it repurposed Moonlight Sonata, too!! I hope you are enjoying PGR and get to the chapter in question, you are sure to have a wonderful rollercoaster of feelings :')

[@DrStryde]

Marco there is a vocal version of this track that's in Chinese I totally recommend listening to it even if you don't make a video on it!

[@zenusepsilon]

This was great! I can't wait until you really get into the game, I will say the beginning like most games is a bit slow but once it starts getting into character backgrounds (personally I think the most interesting part of the game's writing) is when the game starts to really shine. Liv was not really my favorite character when I first started playing the game but she really grew on me every chapter she becomes more and more of a character and not just your supporting cast member. Liv is an angel, not only a field medic but is the team's morale support, she puts others before herself, and is always thoughtful and ever caring even to strangers. Liv is what I would hope for people to be in a world where things are scary and we could lose ourselves to despair. This chapter is the best so far from the story, characters, music, and action. If any of you haven't played PGR you should.

[@pvmim104]

I haven't played Liv's chapter yet too lol. I'm up to the Fake Asenscion chapter and I'm just avoiding spoilers at the moment. So I ignore every new videos and this is my first time hearing this. I just thought the medical beeping is a really cool touch since Liv is a healer. The music also sounds religious to me too for some reason. Great reaction Marco! Always enjoy your analysis of each musical piece.

[@mmrchive]

Oh, boy. You're in for a ride on this one. Fake Ascension is a great precedent for this chapter. There are a lot of callbacks to that chapter in The Surviving Lucem. That being said, prepare yourself. From Fake Ascension on out, it will be a vastly different PGR experience

If you're interested in games making their own twists on classical music, Roland's third phase (Library of Ruina) music is an interesting sort of modern remix (if you could call that) of Beethoven's Sonata No.23. Could be mistaken about whether or not it is, but nonetheless, curious to see some Library of Ruina musical breakdowns.

[@veritas8083]

I'm hoping you react to the vocal version of this piece. Because it does give you a glimpse into liv's character more. Loved the video regardless! By the way, the vocalist in the song is also Liv's official voice actress singing it!
