The Power of Jin (Torna Version) - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Metal Cover) || Shady Cicada

[@Shadycicada]

I am an empty husk after playing that DLC. That being said, it was amazing! I know the combat was a little more basic, but I actually kind of preferred it. It made the bond with blades feel even closer (the sidequests did that as well. All really good stuff.) So...how you guys feeling?

[@everythingvanish7286]

The best dlc so far. I like how you able to switch between driver and blade in this game. Really cool mechanic.

[@foolishlyfoolishfool5747]

Shady Cicada I guess the ending had you... TORNA-P? Too soon?

[@codename618]

Could you PLEASE do Malos's theme next?

[@TheRaxyn]

I am totally broken. Knew it'd be hard, but damn they went out of their way to make that ending as painful as possible.

[@JoshuaDalviken]

I second every word! A magnificent and poignant experience that did everything Takahashi intended it to do. 👌🏻🐺

[@eggy7346]

That ending did more than breaking me... All I can say is F*** YOU A MILLION TIMES AMALTHUS!!! Also the cover was great

[@Shadycicada]

Amalthus is the true scum of the Earth. And yeah, I definitely feel the same way after finishing the DLC :'D Glad you enjoyed the cover, man!

[@eggy7346]

@@Shadycicada Yea, my boy Milton would be proud :')

[@mx4159]

You know a game is something special when you know the ending yet you still feel powerful emotions after playin it

[@Mikeyblast92]

Dude. This DLC. It's one thing knowing that it's gonna happen, but seeing it happen is another thing entirely. I haven't been the same after I completed it. Good cover though! I love this version of Jin's theme! Keep on rocking dude!

[@TheRaxyn]

Ah, the nightmare fuel song! Good times. Nice job man. Awesome cover!

[@Shadycicada]

Nothing like a heaping cup of nightmare fuel :'D Thanks a lot, man!

[@spiderdude2099]

That DLC man. You know from the start what's coming, but no matter how much you prepare.....you are NOT ready. Playing it a second time doesn't make it any less sad either. The minute that cutscene at the torigoth graveyard plays, I was like......"oh...oh this is what we're going with? Ok...ok yeah. That's cool.." To quote the late and great Desmond "etika" Amofah, "It's too early to be this sad!"

[@gabocarina96]

This is so good!!! Loving the guitar effects early on! :'D All this time I thought you were doing the Malos Battle Theme so this came as a nice surprise today!

[@joeyrambo20]

Man Shady great cover as always but yeah now I'm gonna gush about Tornas ending so spoiler warning OMG the ending of Torna ruined me. I really liked this song though but, Milton and Hugo dying hit me like a freight train the absolute nightmare beast that girl turned into and knowing that Lora died just after that fight really hit me. It was just despair layered onto despair. Edit: yeah shady you and me both were heartbroken

[@ふみもん]

Zeke_is_Best _Girl the saddest thing was seeing how much of a nice guy jin was and then knowing how he ends up being later

[@eggy7346]

@@ふみもん Like that cutscene where Lora calls Jin smooth... Or the many times Jin tells her "I"ll protect you", or "Say you'll be careful".

[@pluto6398]

Zeke_is_Best _Girl We don’t know exactly when Lora died, but it probably was soon after the Gort fight

[@joeyrambo20]

@@ふみもん yeah, Jin was awesome before all of this happened. This dlc put some things into perspective for the base game and made Jin mudering Amalthus feel so much more deserved. This game really fucked with my feelings and I couldn't find a decent villain to blame considering that most of them were victims of circumstance.

[@joeyrambo20]

@@pluto6398 yeah it probably was, especially considering that the little chunk of Torna that had Jin's old house on it was still afloat when he burned it down.

[@mikekimbro1263]

Quality over quantity is a winning formula. I love that opening modulation patch, sounds like a phaser.

[@Cyberdragunz]

I haven't put much time into Torna yet, but I'm loving it so far. Absolutely love the different approach to the soundtrack

[@Shadycicada]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, man! It was fun putting a bigger spin on this one than the last one. Glad you're enjoying Torna! It gets pretty damn addicting :'D

[@jet4u321]

Never played Xenoblade, but this kickass soundtrack makes me want to :D, great job on the cover!

[@KaroxNightshade]

Xenoblade is the only game worth playing, fite me

[@olderythia]

Awesome cover! It's always cool hearing a fresh take on Xenoblade music. After 50 hours, I finally fully maxed out all of the characters arts and hidden affinity charts in new game plus. I'm not sure what to do next, but the hidden affinity chart rewards make me want to take on the superbosses in Bringer of Chaos. Oh boy...

[@obamaorb7426]

One of the most amazing battle themes I've ever heard, this is on another level compared to Aions theme, Incoming and maybe even the torna battle theme

[@Decubitus]

I expected no less from Takahashi than him choosing this moment and this moment alone to insert a remix of Jin's battle theme in a DLC entirely focused on Jin and his Driver. Really powerful stuff.

[@slashclaw14]

This is AWESOME! This song after hearing it in game has easily become my favorite one on the OST. This is a rock cover of a jazz cover of the original song, The Power of Jin, lol I like it. Keep up the great work man!

[@monoceros5637]

This cover of a remix is amazing, man! The dlc is definitely something, one of the best expansions I’ve played to date. Thank you for all these amazing originals and covers these past weeks! Keep up the good work! Have a great day, everyone!

[@Shadycicada]

Thanks a lot, man! It's probably the number 1 expansion for me. Just so much packed in here and so many new features added. I swear the game itself looks a lot better as well. Thank you for all the kind words these past weeks! Your support really means a lot :)

[@DavidNwokoye]

It's been a while since I watched one of your vids. It's way better than I remember.

[@aidanm3334]

I love the song, it turned out really well. Great Job!

[@PhantomBladeXZ]

Wow, another great and clean job~ congrats Shady my friend!

[@tacticianmagician4716]

I love this, man! It's perfecttttt

[@emblemblade9245]

Are there any good remixes/covers of The Acting God out there? Could you be one of them?

[@Mizutamakun001]

My dude, never stop improving.

[@JoshuaDalviken]

Magnificent work once again, Mr. Cicada! You've done the piece justice! 👌🏻🐺

[@Shadycicada]

Thanks a lot, man! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@therebelle66]

I'm surprised you haven't got a job offer for the music of the next Xenoblade Chronicles yet

[@styckykeys2200]

nice job on this one! In your more recent stuff each instrument feels much more distinct. Bass and rhythm didn't meld together like they used to (at least for me), and I really like the tone variety.

[@LithningWolf]

You should do Zyk's theme or Aion's theme !

[@blackcorona07]

My god I beat the game a few hours ago and feels so empty since... Waiting the extra week for the physical version was absolutely worth it. This is by far my game of the year and the best game on the Switch!

[@ArceusDX]

Still gonna do that remix of XC2's World Tree at some point?

[@Shadycicada]

Possibly! I have a bit of a list ahead of me, but it's still something I would like to do in the future :)

[@tearzofthefallen6586]

I wanted to know when Jin got his 2nd form and it didn't tell me. Other than that, the dlc was fantastic.

[@verylargemandarinslice8965]

[@michaelronqedar7919]

I need xenoblade 3 after this

[@wildfiresnap]

wish granted

[@michaelronqedar7919]

@@wildfiresnap holy shit it's been 3 years. That aged well :)

[@XenobladeShulkX]

Awesome!

[@painoman5083]

I really love this. However, I feel it's a bit too rhythmic in the beginning parts. It fits like a glove after words, but I was a big fan of the lack of rhythm. Not in anyway bad, you make it work super well, just a piece of preference on my part

[@michaelthompson785]

Definitely on the same emtional impact of Crisis Core, so glad someone else feels the same way

[@Eric-vg1fl]

This song is actually called "The Power of Jin" and is Jin's battle theme in Xenoblade 2 I know you've played Xenoblade 2 but I'm just asking you to correctly title the song. Other than that great song and I'd love to hear you tackle "After Despair and Hope" because I think it's an underappreciated song. P.S. Might also want to change the thumbnail to have Jin in it as well.

[@Shadycicada]

I had the title like this to avoid possible context spoilers for people, but I'll probably end up changing it in a sec if the confusion follows (thanks for the tip on the thumbnail. probably would have forgotten about that!). Glad you liked the cover! I'll consider doing that song in the future :)

[@Eric-vg1fl]

The Torna version is called The Power of Jin as well, it doesn't matter, plus you could've just said this is the Xenoblade 2 version and that game is 9 months old already. Sorry if I sound upset, but the reasoning to me makes no sense.

[@TonyDaExpert]

Perfectimento

[@PsiQss]

Heh, I wanted to get xenoblade 2 but it's not for my "old" 3ds.. Really like the cover though :D Hmm.. any plans for DMC5 covers? ;)

opinions on Lora?

so... i should probably get xenoblade...

[@Shadycicada]

Get it. Get them all.

[@death2go539]

ha, i dont have money nor a switch

[@teseo2221]

You should name it The power of Jin instead to avoid possible confusion also gort has the best design

[@joeyrambo20]

Teseo spoiler warning even though you've probably already betean it but whatever Gort was fucking terrifying and something straight out of a horror novel

more like spoilers on your side my guy, but whatever you're right gonna edit a spoiler warning in
