"Morphogenetic Sorrow" - 999 [Orchestral Cover]

*EDIT 2:!* We actually did it. Today, 7/3/15, Zero Escape 3 was announced! Thanks so much to the whole community for both making this video of mine so popular and for helping make ZE3 a reality. Thanks for the love guys! Please make sure to give Kotaro Uchikoshi lots of support for ZE3!
Also, Kotaro Uchikoshi himself liked this song on Facebook. I am honored!
I'll never forget the first time I heard this. Good lord that was an amazing scene.

This one's for you, Dad.

[@matthewpurdin7898]

I concur. I will never forget the first time I played upside-down Sudoku to save Akane in the past. Nor will I ever forget Snake exacting his revenge against Ace, having to see them die, and then watch as Akane disappears from reality altogether. Damn. Here come the manly tears again.

[@zerothefaceless4888]

And yet you have forgotten Santa telling Jumpy about his little sister and her death...

[@zerothefaceless4888]

Erasmo Vyse What makes you think i did? Actually it was me who gave him chance to fulfill that promise.

[@frenchfry578]

So... Many... Man... Tears...

[@bigred6137]

Ace is a moron for not just shooting Snake in the head

[@kaiser9598]

I seem to be immune from crying due to this game. I don’t know why..

[@SSaiko]

KZbin recommended this video to me 9 years after it's release lol, beautiful cover btw

[@inputVOID]

Wow, thank you! I was wondering where the sudden influx of views and subs came from.

[@AhmedAli88]

I swear I can listen to this all day long without getting bored.... This game is absoulote masterpiece

[@HeartAce59]

32533 = 7! I'm the Big Guy! The loud gentle-giant-children-saving Seven! Gotta love Seven. Gotta love every one except the 9th man. Even Ace. The cast of characters is just so well developed you can understand every one's reasons. I can't blame anyone even when it ends badly for me.

[@aceyspud551]

HeartAce59 I hate how I expected Seven to be the villain.

[@TheCrazyGreenGamer]

+HeartAce59Hey, I wanna try this too. What numbers are we using to do this?

[@HeartAce59]

+TheCrazyGreenGamer You do the digital root of the current number of views. Yep, my comment is super old!

[@TheCrazyGreenGamer]

+HeartAce59 4+3+2+9+0=19 1+9 =10 1+0=1 I'm Ace. Welp! Looks like it's the furnace for me! xD

[@DaffWings]

Fack.. The flashbacks I'm getting hearing this. Definitely my top 3 gaming experiences was playing this. Absolutely needs a third game!

[@Superduperpeoples]

***** Last I read, they want to and planned to make a third game but there was an issue with funding it because of the franchise's sales in Japan. I don't know if that's changed since now, though.

[@DaffWings]

Junko Enoshima Yep yep :/ Still patiently waiting for some good news though, like a miracle

[@MlMZY630]

***** It was confirmed rather recently-ish. Beginning of July ^^.

[@DaffWings]

Mimzy Spire Oh I know

[@AndreaForlani]

Ta-dah

[@scaredaddy28]

My goodness. I just finished Zero Escape 3 today. I gotta say this cover is a perfect way to end it. All the effort the community put in to make this a reality. I have to say after all this we have been through in the story, we all deserve a large pat on the back!

[@j_the_kid]

This song is such a masterpiece. Not just a beautiful melody but so full of raw emotion, pain, sorrow, melancholy but also slowly building determination to move forward.

[@GingerDwarf]

5+3+3+7+2 = 20 = 2 Snake? Snake! SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Nacho_Art]

I got that reference :c

[@flaro38]

stunning tune, mindblowing game.

[@dannydork10]

You can't be making arrangements like this man. I'll never stop crying over how beautiful it is. xD

[@SmashTheAdam]

The algorithm really chose the perfect time to recommend this to me, 9 years after the video's release

[@inputVOID]

It's rivaled my "Another Winter" cover in terms of how quick the views pile up. I'm not even sure how you found it so shortly after I put it up, but I'm glad ya did. It's awesome to see 999 have such a devoted fanbase AND more people wanting to give it a shot thanks to my music. It's why I do it. =)

[@skullptures142]

This is still absolutely gorgeous.... Thank you for this.

[@fer1wi]

Holy shit.... just, holy shit. How did you.... The first time I heard this song (and accompanying scene, of course), I damn near cried because of it. Now you come and do a beautiful orchestral version of this? Seriously, well done!

[@liambaillargeon1875]

*adds to favorites instantly*

[@SuperScotchify]

just wanted to share an excellent cover on what is arguably the most emotional track in the zero escape series next to bluebird lamentation

[@AceAttorneyJenna]

This is incredible! Makes all the blood rush to my face listening and remembering...

[@Bessux]

This is some beautiful stuff right here.

[@smeargIe]

[@Yamislittleangel55]

God damnit, your version made me cry ;_; It's gorgeous.

[@ally541]

This song is just so beautiful.....

[@zerothefaceless4888]

To Uchikoshi-san's approval you may add Zero's approval. Good thing tears are not visible under my mask.

[@TheCrazyGreenGamer]

Everytime i hear this song, i think of Snake and the love he has for his little sister Clover. The safe ending was on of the saddest and most beautiful things i've ever seen in a video game. That scene in the incinerater room forever isolated Snake as my favorite character.

[@sjorsz4053]

Yes you were, and I heard the song, and everything went better than expected.

[@godzilla4189]

Man, imagine if Ai The Somnium Files 3 has Morphogenetic Sorrow in it to tie into Zero Escape (Like what Uchikoshi hinted at in some interviews) in a plot twist of sorts.

[@dallama2616]

I mean wasnt shifting in AI explained away as "The Frayer" telling the characters things they wouldn't know?

[@UniqueJ]

Yet another winner!

[@digiopsnyc]

Very nice. Just like you and many others, I won't forget the first time I heard this either.

[@ShaunHinklein]

Absolutely love this. fantastic work

[@blazebitz3167]

While watching this just realized there's a spoiler (kinda) on the game cover itself! (The "read more" leads to the spoiler I'm talking about) Akane's bracelet reads "9" if you look at it from this angle (boxart that is), without thinking about it from her perspective.

[@gabegibson9603]

doesn't seem like you mind spoilers much given your profile picture. But yeah, that is a pretty large spoiler.

[@blazebitz3167]

Gabe Gibson Haha, I am bad at not spoiling myself... but thank you for redirecting me to this comment, I should specify more that the "read more" contains the spoiler I mention!

[@gdtoob]

Blaze Bitz That's incorrect btw. Akane actually had the number 0 and Santa had 9.

[@tadeogomez7303]

@@gdtoob It's confirmed in-game that Akane's bracelet's upside-down, too.

[@nurutrahman776]

@@tadeogomez7303 no it's just snake say that, the real is Akane is 0 : Zero she the one who make the game with Santa help so Santa : 9 Akane : 0

[@josephconnolly4262]

Just what I needed to make my day. I need to replay this game again. 5+9+9+8+5=36 3+6=[9]

[@Vuvuzelian]

Its a visual novel/puzzle game. It has a great storyline and as you can hear here, an amazing soundtrack. Its a title for the nintendo but if you take the time and money to play it, I swear you will not regret it.

[@DairyFreeLemon]

Omg i love this, had to buy it!

Thank you!

What a masterpiece.

[@wesleytan1850]

I liked the bass in the original one better. It added an ominous ring to the whole song

[@MJGTGAB]

This is amazing and gorgeous and I am in awe. Posted to tumblr; I hope that's okay!

[@inputVOID]

Magic! I used EastWest Quantum Leap Smyphonic Orchestra for the strings playing here. It uses real samples from a live orchestra. It is hands down the best orchestral software I've ever used.

8 + 8 + 4 + 8 + 8 = 36. 3 + 6 = 9. .... I.... I can't say many things. That game.... Well, it became my icon. My.... Light? It literally saved me once. Last.... One? Two weeks?.... No, I think It's month already.... I'm missing one person 436 hours. 4 + 3 + 6 = 13. 1 + 3 = 4. Heh.... Funny. Clover is my favourite character. She and Snake to be more precise.... That game. That was the first VN for a long time which I believed. Under my blanket.... With old DS bought a week ago.... Luna and a game suggested by friend. I.... I've seen a lot of such stories.... That.... That last fight through time and space.... Based only on a belief..... Well..... That's amazing. If.... If I manage to create a game like that.... I'll be sure that my life is not meaningless. Whoever reads that.... Have a good day. Enjoy your life..... Hold on your favourite number.... It will help you one day.

[@savirazaria]

Someone was actually commented on Cry's video about this game and when I looked up, I was like,"meh.." and then I am here again because someone's comment on Pewd's channel.. I think I might give it a shot..

[@inputVOID]

You're too kind! Thanks!

[@kaiser9598]

Here’s a fun game that got inspired by someone. The number of views you see, is what number bracelet you are. You must process it through Digital Root though. Digital root is adding singular numbers until you get a double digit, if there are numbers to be added, then keep adding. Once you get the double digit number, add both the digits together as if they’re in the ones column. If you get another 2 digit number, keep repeating the above step until you get a singular number. That singular number is your bracelet number. Example: 3,728 3+7+2+8=20 2+0=2 I’m now Snake.

Lol everyone in the comments section are using the view counts to see what their digital root is. Mine is 3+6+9+9+3=30 -> 0+3=3 I am Santa. He is probably my 2nd fav character after Snake. I love Snake's character as a whole.

Wickedkwwe Yi The 9th man in 999 died in the beginning of the game leaving no room for character development (this guy got the number 9 by adding up his views).

Is it just me who sees akane's bracelet as a 9 not a 6?

Did you get the true ending, by any chance?

Yeah I did, but I never noticed it on the picture.
