[@98yoshi98]

Personally, I think it's very important that someone actually attacks goat mom on their first go. Think about it, she's the only enemy up until that point that seemed unsparable normally. So, you'd assume it's that normal trope about this whole "prove you're worthy" fight, that doesn't really mean anything. But then, the game actually teaches you consequences, and flowey will mock you for killing her, remarking that you couldn't go back to prevent it. But when you can, and you go back, it shows where Undertale really shines. Not only is the game self aware that you went back, but it also acts as though you're actually there, correcting a mistake. "...Why are you looking at me like that? Like you've seen a ghost? Is there something you know that I do not? No, that's impossible." This is what makes Undertale great in my opinion. Not the pacifist approach, but the fact that you can go back to fix everything, and truly make the happy ending. Undertale isn't just about pacifism you know. It's about discarding what you know about traditional RPG's. That there isn't any needless grinding. But the game has to teach you to break this habit. Technically, fighting her isn't the wrong choice. As a matter of fact, I think it's the most important part. It's the fact that you're able to learn from what happened before, and prevent it. You can go back at any time to change fate. The game references this so much, that unless you straight up cheesed it and went in a non blind run, you wouldn't get that part of the game. Attacking monsters is an important part of the game's message. Even if it's to get you to stop attacking monsters.

First orchestral cover that makes it sound exactly as elegant yet powerful as I'd imagined it would. Many covers don't make it sound like a battle theme anymore, rather more of a peaceful track. tl;dr: Pretty moist stuff here, kid.

[@MH-iv7tk]

ShoopDaWoosh I don’t like how other tracks just have string and woodwind and call it orchestral. Brass plays a role in this piece as well to create a heavier tone in parts of it

This is the only version opf Heartache I've found that really brings forwards the 'epicness' of the song but also the emotion that comes with it which is something all the other orchestral versions of this song struggle to do so thank you :D

[@brimbles4999]

[@FACEFanclub]

@@brimbles4999 Well, the only version besides the original, I think.

[@FACEFanclub]

In instrument choice, this is far better, but I dont think anyone will perfectly recreate the feel that the original track had.

[@Cat-nb5qs]

So the in-game soundtrack is absolutely wonderful. If they ever make a movie it would be a crime to write a new OST. All that would be needed would be proper orchestral arrangements rather than chipbit soundtracks. They would just need to approach you for the arrangements.

[@raph2550]

Actually, making a film from Undertale would be the real crime.

[@Cat-nb5qs]

Raphaël Tran What makes you say so? I'd love an Undertale movie, if it was done right.

[@raph2550]

Undertale is a game with a great game design which fully exploits the potential of a video game in term of interaction. No other media can transcribe what makes Undertale awesome i.e. the importance of your personnal choices. So I'm saying that an Undertale movie simply can't be done right.

[@Cat-nb5qs]

Raphaël Tran The idea of choice, I agree, is huge, and what makes it so intelligent and revolutionary. Sure, taking that away from it in the form of a movie would, I agree, detract from the quality somewhat. But it does have an excellent story, and fleshed-out characters, not to mention the potential for beautiful visuals. I still think it would work as a movie, just as a very different form of media. The idea of choice could still be worked into the script. It would lack the direct personal effect but it could still be expressed.

[@raph2550]

I indeed agree that there are elements from Undertale such as the characters that are really nice and do not need the video game form to be great, but I still think that the essence would be missing in a film (I actually do not see how you could insert an idea of choice in a script). By the way, about the graphics, don't you think that "upgrading" them would break the mental image most people have of the universe? I mean, Toby Fox proved with Undertale that visuals are not necessary to create a great piece of art, but thereby, changing them would change the way players perceive this world. By example, it would be very difficult to keep the androgynous appearance of Frisk.

It's so beautiful~ It's definitely the best out of all of the one's I've hear so far. And I've tried to find one beautifully orchestrated, thank you for the song~ I think you've captured the 'heartache' (Quite literally, my heart is aching in pain for Toriel). It's like you're telling Toriel's side of the story, rather than the protagonists side of the story, and I find that well written. Thank you again for the beautiful music~

[@wakmindo]

Certainly one of the bestest ochestrations of undertale i've heard on youtube so far! You managed to keep the spirit of the original song while adding very good ideas in it (like the Once upon a time cameo), and the end result feels just as good as the original one! Just wonderful work man!

I made a Undertale battle screen themed level in smash bros brawl. I put a time of 7:00 and played Ness (frisk) and fought Peach (Toriel).

It ended at the end of the win animation. Best. Undertale. Fight. In. Brawl. Ever.

I guess it helps to be immersed into it. If all you see Undertale as is just a video game, then it won't have much of an impact on you and the game itself sort of points that out when you do certain things in it (part of why I think it's brilliant but whatever). Though that's true with basically anything you experience whether it's reading a good book, watching a good movie, etc.

[@TheAdvertisement]

I may have found you through your Deltarune covers, but wow, it was worth going back and diving into your Undertale covers, they're something else. You have such genius artistic interpretations of these songs, turning them the most out of any Undertale orchestral covers into full blown movie scores. I feel like I'm sitting in a concert, visualizing an entire story taking place before my eyes. It wouldn't have mattered if I'd never heard of Undertale, I would still be able to feel the conflict, and pain, and heartache all flying from the music. Each separate chorus of Heartache feels different from the last, filled with more emotion, boiling over to a new degree. It's genuinely impressive how well percussion and scoring like this is done without using instruments of more African or Brazilian origin, there's a feeling of pulsing war drums to it that never goes away, even when there's flutes carrying the melody and it's just the low strings maintaining that pulse. Oh and don't even get me started on the Once Upon a Time section, it slid into the bridge so easily that I didn't even realize what was happening at first until the entire mountain hit me. Such a bittersweet moment for the piece, before diving right back into the most determined and heroic of the choruses, while Once Upon a Time maintains is message in the low brass below the melody. What a beautiful piece, and honestly I think it's now my favorite of your Undertale covers, somehow even more than Asgore, despite me much preferring that song in Undertale! I think something about the more warmer and openly furious tone of Heartache vs. the (albeit thematically fitting) more withdrawn emotional core and war-like tone of Asgore contributed to it. Heartache just feels so much more raw, you know?

Hey, +The Second Narrator, I have a couple of questions for you! First of all, how do you make your music? Do you have a sound library, and if so, which one do you use? If not, do you record each individual part yourself, do you have some friends play some of the parts, or do you actually have your own orchestra? However you do it, it sounds like the real deal! And one not thing: why is your username the second narrator? Is it supposed to be a play on how background music can be used as a sort of "second narrator," portraying the emotions of the characters indirectly?

[@thesecondnarrator]

I use Presonus Studio One as my DAW, and I have a bunch of sound libraries. you can check out a list of them at thesecondnarrator.com. my music is pretty much all virtual. and as for my name the second narrator, you're pretty much right on the dot. you word it in some ways better than i describe it!
