Starcraft Protoss Theme 3

[@PurpleDingoPress]

Imagine playing through Brood War in the early 2000s and hearing this quiet, somber track over an epilogue explaining how after everything, all the beloved character deaths, all the struggle, the Big Bad won while everyone else quietly slunk off to lick their wounds. Absolute gut punch. OG Blizzard was one of a kind.

[@paulanerruhrpott6188]

Back then there was no social media, so it is nice to know that others had exactly the same feeling as me in those days.

[@pilgrimraven1157]

@@paulanerruhrpott6188 another one here. This was the game that shown me the good stories Blizzard can make. (This was my first blizzgame)

[@kevinmastron6700]

to this day i am angry about how sc2 fucked it up. SC1 is among the greatest games I've ever played, and probably has the finest multiplayer ever made period.

[@madtechnocrat9234]

@@kevinmastron6700Wings of liberty was fine, cheesy story but fine. Heart of the swarm and LOTV were lorwise trash. Carried only somewhat by Stukov and Alarak characters.

[@kevinmastron6700]

@@madtechnocrat9234 No. Wings of liberty started out with Raynor being a sappy drunk in love with Kerrigan and risking everything to save her in the end. Garbage dump on the ending of brood war. Kerrigan was an irredeemable monster.

[@Sean_Lee99]

I feel always bad for Protoss. Death of Fenix , Sacrifice of Tassadar, Lost of Aiur, Dark Voice, Ulejarz, and Dark future.

[@egorleschev]

Legacy of the Void: Return of Amon, Death of Zeratul, Defilement of Khala, Destruction of Shakuras, All of Xel'naga Murdered, but, Protoss survived, took over Aiur again and helped Kerrigan to kill Amon permanently and end the wars, organized by him.

[@rrtee4256]

For me no protoss are bunch of fucking assholes they deserved what happened to them arrogant bastards.

​@@rrtee4256 Artosis couldn't agree more

[@nicholasdiaz9424]

RIP to all of them and all the Protoss who fought so bravely for what they believe in...until the last protoss falls.

[@necroheartplucker]

0:26 - 1:23 I love this part, not only it describes the mysterious atmosphere around the Protoss race, but also it feels like the calm before the storm (especially against the Zerg). And this fits pretty well with Protoss-Terran alliance when against the Zerg considering the humans were caught in the middle of all this. And not to mention, this is the perfect epilogue theme. Good old memories :')

[@dahvish7726]

necroheartplucker no best part is 0:00 - 5:05

[@crimsondynamo615]

I see that one cutscene with Kerrigan and her eyes open when she realizes she can grow stronger without the overmind when i hear this, and an overwhelming feeling of dread washes over.

[@jackocrave9820]

"It is a good day to die" "May I be of service?" "Let us attack!" "I thought you did my way" "My heart at last!" "Excellent!" "Adun Toridas!"

[@rexspaulding8871]

Terran themes were always favored, always considered by many to be the best, yet, at the end of the day, the Terran themes just seem like badass background music for the game. The Protoss and Zerg though, they feel like they embody the essence of the race, and this particular theme almost seems to tell the tale of the Protoss being somewhat peaceful and responding to the threats.

[@sdtfhd]

same

[@losdaghost7688]

I agree wholeheartedly.

[@47ness5]

That's why it felt 'right' to hear this music again in the LotV campaign. :)

[@handlesarecringe957]

But what about Radio Free Zerg?

[@beslemeto]

Rex Spaulding Protoss are peaceful,but we should not mix peaceful with weak isn’t it. :)))

[@AidanMclaren]

The 1st half of this music is saying "We Protoss may be a dying race, but we shall not go down gently! We shall go out like valiant warriors!"

[@jonahkaun891]

1:45 to 2:40* always struck me as a sad, determined march forward . . .

Not until the last protoss falls...

[@pedrotorres8363]

This song is like life , is hard but you will eventually make it

[@enigma4430]

The noble, fanatical and stalwart Protoss, this song painted that perfectly.

[@celticjordan1]

I don't know about anyone else but that ending part at 2:20-2:35 give me a huge flash back of when I first started playing this game back in 1998.. 2015 now, wow, come such a long way...........

이 음악을 들으면서 떠오르는 점이라면 아이어를 수호하기 위해 저그와의 전투에서 쓰러진 수많은 프로토스 기사단의 고귀한 희생을 기억하면서 집행관이 살아남은 세력들과 전열을 다듬고 최후의 전투을 위해 전진하는 모습이 그려집니다. I respect protoss templer and tassadar.

+CrimsonLights Sadly Blizz changed their minds and made Artanis the protagonist of LotV instead of Zeratul :(

[@ztunelover]

+Owen Konsmo You would be a fool to think Zeratul isn't going to be a major part of legacy of the voids story. Artanis is the hierarch of the aiur protoss but zeratul is the sword of the dark templar. he is going to be an integral part of the story.

[@machdude3366]

+ztunelover SPOILERS: Integral? Yes. But he's the Obi-wan now. Artanis is the hero of LotV.

***** Lol. No me telling you kerrigan killed dumbledore is spoilers. It's a given. Also Legacy of the Void made me very sad but very happy at the end with a tinge of sadness

la canción del epilogo, lo mejor de lo mejor

[@IncarnationOfNeutrality]

This is what I like about the StarCraft soundtrack, the themes for the 3 different races all fit them so perfectly, the Terran themes are a mixture of sounding imperial, western and kickass, the Zerg themes sound like creepy alien invasion music that you'd expect out of an old alien invasion film from the 50's (you know, Destroy all Humans sort of thing), and finally the Protoss themes all sound like final stretch music and are very suited to an epilogue, which makes sense as the Protoss Campaign is what closes off Vanilla StarCraft.

The Terran soundtrack is better in SC2 than the Zerg or Protoss because they took the original SC Terran soundtrack for inspiration with it and maintained a level of that original sound that made the old soundtrack awesome. they should have done the same with the other two races if not just re-take the old soundtrack altogether and remaster it in new glory
