Yes! I really like that if feels like having a chat with a friend highlighting your favorite parts of the song, overall a charming little video

[@sergiodevivo16]

didn't even have to click to know it was inevitable struggle. you have good taste.

[@Teedyan]

And your taste is just as good I see! 😁🔥

[@S0RA...]

I was wondering if it was either inevitable struggle or get over the barrier

[@cuac232]

This instantly reminds me of the chapter 3 boss cracking his knuckles. Definitely made an impression.

[@Teedyan]

That is probably my favorite animation in the whole game. It's so small, but it's such a nice little moment. Good callout!

[@lafbkhope5391]

This is how I felt about Formidable Enemy. Since I'm new to Trails games I thought Arrest The Criminal is gonna be the only boss theme but no, the game put Lloyd 1 on 1 against Wald and I was greeted by this super cool greatness.

[@Teedyan]

Formidable Enemy is also a really good one! Just as you I'm also new to the franchise and it's always a fun time not knowing how the games are "structured" in their music. Especially hearing new battle music you aren't expecting is always a blast. 🔥

[@RetroNerdyGamer]

Every timee this played this got me soooo MMMPH What I love is that it's not overused and when it is you know THIS IS WHEN SHITS GOING DOWN Fave moment is when it plays protecting the IBC and KeA against all odds!

[@Teedyan]

I 100% agree with this, that's what makes it so magical. 🤩

[@jakobjohansson3182]

This track is very nice and plays at such cool moments.

[@Teedyan]

A man of culture I hear 😁

[@MatsuSenpaii]

What i love about most of Falcom Games' soundtrack (Trails, Ys, Xanadu games) is that you'll know exactly in which part of the game where the music plays if you play their games Most of it are recognizable, and catchy

[@Teedyan]

Totally agree! I was out for a run today and listened to some Ys Seven music and it really felt like being "there" in the game. They know their stuff. 😁

[@Z-M-C]

personally, while i love a lot of the music from the game and falcom games in general, the mainz mining town theme just hits the it home the best for the crossbell arc, the slow-life theme it depicts is just utter perfection

[@Teedyan]

The Mainz mining town is such a underrated track. I have it in my cozy vgm list for personal use because of the reasons you mentioned. 😍

[@JaydenXV]

I think my favorite track has to be Invincible Strength the super arranged version

[@Teedyan]

Interesting! I think the SAV is my least favorite out of the three versions (OG > EVO > SAV) but all three of them are amazing and very different from each other which I highly enjoy.

[@teckleedeyi]

If you like zero soundtracks, azures gonna make you scream. Best in series for me

[@Teedyan]

I'm playing through Azure right now! I still feel that Zero is a stronger package so far when counting only new music, but there are some really nice ones in Azure as well so far. I just need to continue to hear even more.

[@glonthein]

inevitable struggle is great and gives a great ambiance, but I have to admit I will always be partial to the goosebumps and thrills that were the combo of "Get Over the Barrier - Roaring Version" (or even better, the Evolution version of that track) with the car chase scene during the final chapter of the game.

[@Teedyan]

There seems to be such a nice split between the camps of "Inevitable Struggle" or one of the "Get Over the Barrier" tracks. The most beautiful thing though, is that both camps enjoy both, it's just that one of the tracks wins by a small margin for most people. The car chase scene was great. 🚙

[@riofernando9414]

I hear trails music, i like

[@gravicek]

My favorite is when you listen to it while defending the IBC, also love Demonic Drive while you are escaping through the city, amazing scenes, Inevitable Struggle is fire, don't listen the arranged version before playing Azure or it will spoil the moment a bit

[@RetroNerdyGamer]

The city escape had me hyped, I had to stay up till 8am to finish the game it was THAT exciting!

[@Teedyan]

That moment is really cool. Especially when the backup arrives at the scene.

[@gravicek]

@@RetroNerdyGamer I also stayed until very late that day, same happened when finished Azure, the next day at work I was a sack of potatoes, but well worth it 😊

[@Garlands86]

i love so much ineveatable struggle

[@Teedyan]

Let's love it together! 🤝

[@Daichi82]

I loved Lloyd's battle theme in Reverie, it's called Stand Up Again and Again!

[@Teedyan]

Thanks for the comment but please refrain from talking about anything past the game that the video is about. I didn't know about any of this yet. :(

[@Daichi82]

@@Teedyan I'm sorry, it was just a battle theme, i'm not going to spoil anything about the game.

[@MarioSonic46]

@@Daichi82 Just a hunch, but he probably didn't want to know that Lloyd was in the game yet considering how far along in the series it is compared to Zero.

[@Morbisus]

I knew its gonna be either Getting over the barrier (normal battle theme) or Inevitable Struggle

[@Teedyan]

Can't go wrong with either! 🎵

[@vOrbZv]

I really wish I could play these games again for the first time they are so damn good. Streamed the duo on my channel last year and the year before

[@Teedyan]

I totally get that, while I really want to catch up the to the most recent games I also want to just enjoy that I have this much content left to enjoy. I have countless other works that I want to erase my memory off, so I totally get what you're saying. How was it to stream the Trails games for you? Did you have issues with people spoiling stuff?

[@vOrbZv]

@@Teedyan maybe if I was well known or something I would’ve but no I was never spoiled anything besides stuff I sort of knew out of order since I played cold steel before them. I only had like 2 or so ppl watching me lol but I streamed so I could watch them later

[@williamchicas1208]

Ngl, when i saw the trails of cold steel box art i was like " meh. Probably an anime visual novel." I saw trails from zero thru another youtuber and thought ok I'll give this one a chance. Best decision ever. Any battle with inevitable struggle is automatically top tier but my heart will go to the yin fight. SAV is also good. My friendship with FF is now over. Trails is my new best friend.

[@Teedyan]

I get that to 100%! While I enjoy anime overall, seeing it in games is many times a "bump" for me to get over as anime aesthetic games sometimes are... somewhat special to say the least. But Trails takes all anime troupes and do something really special with them.

[@qrowthebird7496]

Crazy to think that the Kiseki/Trails series is a sub series of the Eiyuu Densetsu/The Legend of Heroes series, which is a sub series of the Dragon Slayer series. While there hasn't been a main game titled Dragon Slayer, since Dragon Slayer The Legend of Heroes 2

[@Teedyan]

Crazy indeed. It really spiraled down into its own beast of a sub series. It's a bit like how Persona just became the main face of the Shin Megami Tensei series, but not quite as extreme.

[@Zephhi]

It's peak.

[@Dinklr]

is this what the original inevitable struggle sounds like lol? i played with the evo soundtrack and it sounds way different since it's less synth focused and instead has a saxophone as the prominent instrument. Tbh I prefer the evo version but this one ain't bad either

[@Teedyan]

Correct! They are very different, but I like them both in different ways. I still think that the original works better in-game, but the saxophone makes it a wonderful remix to listen to now and then for me. 🎷

[@DarkstarNoise]

Just curious, did you listen to the arranged version of this track? I like it just as much as the original.

[@Teedyan]

That's a good question. I have only listened to it once, but it still haven't grown as much as the original on me. But when I've heard the original too many times in the (near) future, I might need the arranged version of it as an alternative. 😁

[@yongkysiaw6597]

While yes this track is awesome, get over the barrier roaring version is way more epic imo.

[@Teedyan]

I have yet to really "fall" for that one, but I also haven't listened to it that much yet. Many of the music tracks in the Zero OST are already growing a lot on me, so we'll see what I think after a bit of time. Do you like the normal "Get Over the Barrier" more than "Inevitable Struggle" as well?

[@yongkysiaw6597]

@@Teedyan for epicness, struggle definitely.

[@Zephhi]

I like Get Over the Barrier but some people seem to like it far more than I do lol. I just think it's good, there are a looot of better battle themes in this series though

[@Runexn]

Video 1 of asking for rebirth the edge from sengoku rance

[@LiveLXStudios]

Ah, I forgot how bad the non-evo instrumentation is

[@Teedyan]

Ohh, hot take! I really like both versions because of different reasons, but they are very different in style so I can see some people don't liking one of them very much.
