Metal Gear Solid: Original Score - The Best is Yet to Come (Alt.Version/arr.Vincent Séjourné)

[@Tsrashi]

This is gorgeous. I’ve always wanted to hear a clean version of the instrumental that plays during Wolf’s death and Fox’s confession.

[@TheLordThunder]

Same here. It also plays during the codec conversation after Meryl gets shot.

[@alster724]

​@@TheLordThunder "Meryl, it's me they want..." "I guess I'm a rookie after all..."

[@Crimson_Snake1]

Snake! What was she fighting for? What am I fighting for?! What are you fighting for?! If we make it through this, I’ll tell you.

[@thundergaming5785]

Colonel: If Wolf is in the communications tower she can see you perfectly. It's the classic sniper's position. At that distance you won't be able to hit her with a standard weapon, either. You'll need a sniper rifle! Snake: Colonel, take it easy! Colonel: ..... Snake: I'm going to save Meryl, no matter what it takes!

Shivers...and the feels were too strong from 1:30. It made me bawl. So many good memories. Thank you, Vincent.

I once heard this version years ago and have had no end of trouble tracking it down since. Thank you so much for uploading this!

[@samfish5500]

I am not a Kojima fan by any means... But this particular game is waaaaaaaaay up there. I think he never really topped this. The reason is how subtle he is with this one... The influence are there but very subtle... Not 007-ish like MGS3 or Just lacks personality like 5.

[@EverDownward]

Thank you. I've been seeking a clean version of the alternate, instrumental version from the game. Even if this is fanmade, it's absolutely spot on. So, once more, thank you so much.

[@projectomega567ch2]

I honestly can't remember for how many years I've been looking for this version. Thank you!

[@unbeatleRs]

Thank you I've been looking everywhere for this ost, your doing god's work. :)

[@abstergo0937]

Snake.... thank you...

[@DissidiaGamer]

I've been waiting for a re-upload forever. Glad it's back.

Ngl I was kinda hoping there be a slightly longer version :' ) Really nice!

[@gorilli09]

This would perfectly fit in a cutscene.

[@Swatmat]

erm, it was used a few times in cutscenes in MGS

Snake: Fox, what do you want from me? Fox: I am a prisoner of death, only you can free me.

"I was a fool...I wanted to be a soldier...But war is ugly...There's nothing glamorous about it...Snake, please! Save yourself! Go on living, and don't give up on people! Don't forget me... Now get out of here!"

[@Bad_Place_Alone]

I searched for this for years. Other versions of TBIYTC don’t quite hit the same. There’s a “distance” to this version. A coldness. I think that instrument is called a “cor anglais” (I’m clearly no musician) and it’s partially responsible for that feeling. I recognise it from the ending of FFX where the main theme is reprised. It stayed with me then, it’s staying with me now. I feel so cold.

[@saudude2174]

It's hard to put the emotions this piece makes us feel into words, isn't it? I think I relate to your musical emotional awareness closely. It's almost as if trying to verbalize these intense experiences robs them out of their magic. Takes their depth away.. leaving something mundane. I was crazy about finding which wind instrument this was. I didn't know about cor anglais. You may be right. Thanks for this comment a lot! Sometimes when waves of nostalgia hit, I open fl studio up and try to recreate some of the mgs themes. Knowing the right instrument is key.

[@Bad_Place_Alone]

@@saudude2174 Oh hi. This is blast from the past.  IDK if articulating strong feeling cheapens those feelings, I just think it’s hard to explain. Maybe words never do it justice in the first place? IDK. Cor anglais was my best guess judging from my research into the Watershipdown OST (of all things). I had wanted to know what “it” was from my FFX days. And if you have any rearrangements/remixes/reimagining/whatevers of mgs or videogame soundtracks, by all means share them. There are loads of us out there that love this sort of thing.

[@visibledistortion341]

string arrangment is beautiful

[@YarreYT]

I got strong goosebumps and tears were flowing. By the way, thanks to this song from Metal Gear Solid, I learned how to fake tears as an actor

[@sw1rly801]

Gonna make me cry and shit.

[@alster724]

1:31 Solid Snake : Fox, why? What do you want from me? Gray Fox : I'm a prisoner of Death. Only you can free me... Solid Snake : Fox, stay out of this... What about Naomi? She's hell bent on taking revenge for you. Gray Fox : Naomi... Solid Snake : You're the only one that can stop her. Gray Fox : No... I can't. Solid Snake : Why? Gray Fox : Because I'm the one who killed her parents. I was young then and couldn't bring myself to kill her too. I felt so bad that I decided to take her with me. I raised her like she was my own blood to soothe my guilty conscience. Even now she thinks of me as her brother... Solid Snake : Fox... Gray Fox : From the outside, we might have seemed like a happy brother and sister. But every time I looked at her, I saw her parents' eyes staring back at me... Tell her for me. Tell her that I was the one who did it. Liquid: There you are! Fox: We're just about out of time. Here is a final present from Deepthroat (Stinger Missles). Now I'll stop it from moving.

[@Swatmat]

i believe this track is titled HOPE

[@sonicfan2403]

My own ending to Guns of the Patriots: Old Snake is in the graveyard, looking upon the tombstones to the Boss and Big Boss and reflects on his past missions. His very first missions where he doscovered that his commander and 'father,' Big Boss and friend, Frank became his worst enemies and he had to end their lives. Cut to MGS, where he confronted one of his 'brothers,' who has become nothing but a Psychotic lunatic who wants to watch the world burn in a war ravaged world, thinking that's what Big Boss wanted and that his genes 'told' him to. The bad ending is canon and he loses Meyrl, the only woman he ever showed signs of romantic attachment to. Realizes that the genius, Hal Emmerich had no ill intentions in causing war with his creation and wants to redeem himself. Then Sons of Liberty, where him and his allies have been framed as Terrorists thanks to Ocelot's schemes and he had to involve a rookie trooper, who he later realizes had mental scars from his past life in a war for his brother, Solidus. Possibly finding out that Solidus himself was also a tool to the true antagonists, the Patriots and probably had some pity for him. Then there's Guns of the Patriots, where Snake has been rapidly aging physically and is on the verge of becoming a living weapon of death, thanks to the old Foxdie infected Nanomachines still in his body. Met his, 'mother' Eva, who once worked alongside Big Boss in his first major op. Only to avoid that fate and finally put an end to the Patriots and Ocelot for good. He then has that moment with his Father and revelation between him and Zero finally bringing closure. Then cuts back to graveyard with Snake, Otacon, with his newly adopted daughter, Sunny, and Jack, with his new family, all looking at the graveyard, with all of their friends and allies (Roy, Mei Ling, Naomi, Meryl etc.) who they've lost during the war on their own country, but vow to honor them and live normal lives, not as heroes, but normal men.
