Dude this moment was so sick! Finally meeting Chozo who are *alive*? Hearing their language being spoken? Samus speaking Chozo? There's just so much good in this scene
I never expected one game to contain all that fan service, much less in one cutscene.
That one small moment of silence.... then the music kicks in and Samus starts speaking, man that gave me goosebumps
Well of course she speaks it. They raised her. But it's still cool AF to hear her speak it.
Only for him to die immediately after...
Aside from the manga of course
Despite other M existing, this still feels like the first time we hear her speak.
As someone that skipped other M this sure is.
I like to pretend Other M doesn’t exist
It never existed
But in chozo
I mean, she spoke in Fusion
When quiet robe bowed & samus lowered her gun, just sitting there with her legs crossed, that’s when it set in that this was truly a big deal for not just the game, but Metroid as a whole. And samus speaking chozo was just the icing on the cake for me.
I love how much this game does for storytelling without a single word. When samus puts the weapon down its a very clear "well you're not here to kill me, you must be here to talk. Whats up birdman?"
This is her first time meeting the Chozo again since leaving Zebes (unless she meets remnants of the Tallon IV civilization in Prime 4).
Being as she was adopted and raised by the Chozo after her parents were killed, it's no surprise that she can speak their language. BUT I still never actually expected it. #Badass
She must have worked a long time to speak common so smoothly without a chozo accent.
@@RocRolDis Savalva... she must speak many languages. :v
Imagine spending years learning the language, use it once after decades, and right afterwords the person you just spoke to is shot dead.
@@lunerblade13 that's rough buddy
@@RocRolDissamus probably knew how to speak common from her parents before they died
This is honestly one of my favourites scenes in the entire game. The amount of emotion on Quiet Robe's face, the fact we're meeting LIVING Chozo, Samus speaking, all the lore on the two tribes. It's amazing. In my personal opinion Dread is the perfect balance of Super's non linearity and Fusion's storytelling. Super is still a great game, but I like having at least some force or mission guiding me, ya know?
This is probably the densest lore dump I have ever seen in a game followed by the whipplash of a fast as hell boss fight that will kill you the first time around because you are still processing all the new world building information you received, plus the fact you finally talk to one of these mysterious creatures and our silent main character talks back. Seriously 30 year old questions were just answered and the game goes 3, 2, 1, boss fight go. I love it.
serious pain you can't skip the cutscene the second time, and there doesnt even seem to be a save room nearby.
@@TheTurnipKing you can totally skip, plus button, minus button I think.
Save room is fairly close, and the game check points you right before the fight anyway. What are you talking about?
@@travisfranz703 Most previous cutscenes you can skip, but not this fight (quiet robe, chozo soldier) unless I took a weird route or glitched out or something.
@@TheTurnipKing I think you did, cuz I died on this freaking boss five times
@@TheTurnipKing You can, just press plus then minus when you land in the mural area
Even as a passive metroid fan I couldn't believe how this played out lol
That's really amazing to hear!! Wow!! Just goes to show how amazing this game was!! 😆😆😆😆
Hearing Samus speak in the Chozodian language sent a chill down my spine and probably will for a while whenever i come back to this game... that moment just felt SO Right
This cutscene alone clears out so many questions and plot holes that the original story arc couldn't answer and I love it. Samus Returns being the most important game in the original story arc really sells the point on how much of a double edged sword the Metroids were in terms of maintaining some balance in SR388. I can imagine Raven Beak trying to assess the situation *and* keeping an eye on Samus as she went on her adventures in Zero Mission, Samus Returns, Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion.
I've been jokingly saying that blowing up SR388 was really the smartest thing to do from the get go. Turns out that was the Thoha's intention and it was Raven Beak who prevented it.
But then there’s the collateral damage. When she destroyed Zebes, SR388, and ZDR, Samus wiped out EVERYTHING ELSE!
Quiet robe bowing to Samus shows that the Chozo did visit the Luminoth’s planet once. The screw attack in one of their vaults is also proof that the Chozo and Luminoth did trade technology with them.
Ili (eelee) = the
Savalba = However
I'm so obsessed with this scene I already started descifering! Lmao
From what I hear:
ZDR = Ili Tarina Lima
SR388 = Ili Agarna Lima
Metroid = Mathroid
E.M.M.I. = Emai
Samus Aran = Tamus Arulan
Raven Beak = Ashgrar Behek
Quiet Robe = Henkin Maradis
X = Eris
Sounds like a really ancient language
Mathruid = Metroid
Tahs=yes
Tamus Arlan
You have to wonder… how long has it been since Samus had seen a living, benevolent Chozo, much less spoken in their tongue?
Too long. But for the briefest of moments, it was as if she was among those she once called her people, her “family”. And then this moment was cut short.
Damn you, Raven Beak.
Well, the Chozo are a galactic civilization. There could be other tribes we don't know about.
Probably not since she was in her teens at the oldest.
We already met a living Chozo warrior at the beginning of the game, but he was NOT friendly.
Their might’ve resembled a more technologically advanced version of the Knuckles clan from Sonic Adventure in some way.
From my understanding, Samus was surrounded by good Chozos most of her life, at the exception of the ambiguous Gray Voice who had some questionable actions but still managed to help Samus in the end even in sacrifice.
Raven Beak and the Mawkin tribe is like the first evil Chozo and tribe ever seen or faced, both in lore and the players.
I also don't count the Torizos statues or the Chozo ghosts cuz one is like a guarding tool for the Chozo artefacts or power ups or even used to test Samus's skills and the other are corrupted by the Phazon and regain their reason after getting rid off the Phazon.
the coolest part of this whole cutscene? chozo phonology is from real languages! Arabic and Hebrew to be exact.
appropriate honestly.
Man, adding the Brinstar red soil/swampy area theme to the cutscene was amazing. Just makes me wish the rest of this game's own OST was even slightly as good as SM's
I personally love this game's OST.
Honestly, Dread's "issue" is that it's a new game, and thus has not had decades to build nostalgia.
I heard an SNES remix of Artaria. It made me think that this game HAS a good soundtrack but when modernized it doesnt sound as sweet. Most of it is ambient and background filling to me. But either way I loved this game.
@@Gamelover882 The de-makes of Burenia and Cataris are blissful. The instruments used in a lot of Dread's tunes, IMO, are the issue, because the actual Melodies are great
-She must be in an emotional roller coaster right now
* Samus, completely chilling on the ground *
Its tragic when you realise he said he was the sole survivor of his tribe-
Means Raven Beak wiped em all out...
rip Quiet Robe
There's concept art of him feeding 3 members of the tribe to some water beast while watching
I really hope we get to hear Samus talk more in future games. just hearing her speak those few words gave me chills
Lets hope it’s not a repeat of a certain other game, if they do decide to let her continue speaking.
@@BlindMelonLord I say let it be short and to the point. Samus always struck me as a stoic and to the point kind of girl. The only time I can see her talking extensively is if it is in a social environment with close friends/family or something. Everything else should be strictly buisness.
Here’s hoping they decide to bring back Nikki Garcia. She did a great job with very little to go off of.
I really enjoyed this scene so much lore about the chozo and actually explains why samus is on ZDR. Buy I feel SOSO BAD for Quiet Robe. And OMG that chozo warrior was so hard to defeat for me
I got lost because I didnt know where the grappling hook door was. So I actually did a lot exploring in the 4 or 5 areas I had available and found TONS of upgrades. My missile count was about 93-ish when I got to this part and I had at least 5 health tanks. (But then again, I did have the amiibo)
I love quite beak. He's so gentle and caring. Rip : (
I 100 percent Metroid Dread and I gotta say this is the game of the year for me and how much I got emotional when I got to the end of the game. I got pissed off when Quiet Robe died, seriously why they gotta do him dirty like that lol
Quiet Robe actually was one of the mkst powerful, maybe even the most powerful, charakter in the whole Metroid universe.
(Spoiler, don't read jf you haven't beat the game yet)
Not in terms of power or fighting, but he is the only charakter ever that got absorbed by an X and still was himself.
Moreover, on top of staying himself, he sacrificed himself to transfer his tribes power of controlling the Metriods to Samus, so that she can escape and, hopefully, control her new metroid suit anytime she wants
I wonder if all of his tribe would have been able to keep their personality if they would have turned into X
@@Kanerudo Yeah I know thats why I said I 100 percent the game.
@@Kanerudo so I'm not entirely sure he was in control. 1. X gain the memories and skills of the things they absorb. 2. we know they have a powerful self/species preservation instinct, going so far as to join with a 'lesser Metroid' to kill a stronger one (Fusion final fight). So it's not unthinkable that the X itself got the powers and later chose to be absorbed by Samus to quell the power that was raging within her, after all... it reactivated the Emmi.
@@kennethmorgan8795 But by doing so, it saved Samus's life. She would've blown up with ZDR had it not done anything. The fact that he bows to Samus before fusing with her seems to indicate that he has influence over the X, and him whispering "I am counting on you" when he got infected might've been foreshadowing that.
Yeah he got done hella dirty.
His whole tribe is slaughtered by Raven Beak
He's taken to ZDR to contribute to the Mawkin's plans to weaponize the very creatures that his tribe created with good intent, lost control over, and died trying to destroy
He's forced to work in a room right next to a monument depicting all these events
Samus finds him decades later and he gives us the greatest cutscene ever in this franchise... and he's immediately shot and killed
Im pretty sure they used an spanish voice actor for the voice of the bird, the way he pronounce the S, and uses the iberic way to pronounce J (and make sense, this game was developed in spain)
That red brinstar theme is fucking amazing
That is the same thing as Lower Brinstar right?
@@joeyginise6051 I believe so, yes. I think "Upper Brinstar" is the Green area.
I love the way this game used the remixed tracks. Not as replacement for new areas, but rather as a way to enhance the emotion of a scene.
I love how the chozo pronounce Samus' name
4:49 when the music changed as samus spoke, it was then we knew she was more than meets the eye.
Having Quiet Robe die minutes after being introduced kinda pissed me off, god damn robot… I wish there was a scene of QR speaking his last words before dying to I dunno add more to this scene
I thought it would've been cool if he guided you for a while through the second half of the game but was then killed by Raven Beak. Then the ending of the final boss would've hit really hard.
As much as nobody "expects" Samus to talk much, this does make a good excuse as to WHY she doesn't. Chozo is her mother tongue, and now we've heard it, we know it's nothing like Basic (standing in for whatever language the game is set to). She's probably just not speaking or thinking in Basic on the regular, so we don't hear it.
I figured that the emmis were triyng to extract samus' metroid dna within like the first week or two of the game being announced. But the X thing was quite the twist.
It was for a lot of us.
Curiously, the E.M.M.I. robots were Raven Beak's backup plan in case Samus failed to awaken her powers in time.
Another thing I caught early in the game is how a certain someone was faking us since the very start of the game.
I was so blown away by the fact that I was in front of an actual living Chozo who was talking to me in his native language right this very moment, immediately followed by Samus speaking Chozo herself, that I missed like half the lore that was dumped. So after getting destroyed by the boss I had to watch it again. Absolutely no complaints though.
Quiet Robe’s voice in his language… sends a chill down my spine
Funny that I had the same exact reaction of the Quiet Robe's death...
Mercury Steam really did not disappoint with their Chozo designs. I was looking forward to seeing the Chozo for almost two decades.
This was my first metroid game and I still got goosebumps when Samus spoke.
This is the first Metroid game I ever played 😅. Turns out I was experiencing rich never-before explained lore and had no idea.
Oh well, at least I can watch fan reaction videos.
If you have Switch online, at the very least play Super Metroid if you’ve enjoyed playing Dread. I first played it around two years ago and it’s genuinely one of my favourite games of all time.
Samus' voice is everything I had imagined and better, she's speaking chozo!
Such a badass cutscene
I had the exact same reaction. I was so hyped to see Samus talking to an actual living Chozo, and I nearly cried hearing her talk to Quiet Robe in the Chozo language. The games don't really focus too much on the fact that Samus was raised by the Chozo but I'm so happy Dressed acknowledged this part of her backstory. And even though they don't specifically name Gray Voice I love that they referenced the Chozo DNA he gave Samus and that it helped slow her transformation and keep her human.
he was such a nice character in this scene and then he died and i was so upset like "NOOOOOOOO D:"
RIP Quiet Robe 😢
Quiet Robe is the Metroid answer to Obi-Wan.
Glad to know I wasn’t the only one who teared up hearing Samus speak chozo
5:21 I like how they made Samus angry after she saw the robot shoot Quiet robe
Well duh, the Thoha were family to her. Mentally, she must’ve been happy to see one alive. You’d be mad too if you saw what was the last member of your family get gunned down in front of you lol
Fun fact. The actor who provides the voice for Quiet Robe is also the narrator for the childrens show poyoco.
Yo I had the exact reaction when the good chozo got killed !! I’m still sad about it
Chozo language in Dread sounds really cool! When I heard it the first time, I think my initial belief was how it sounded Spanish or an ancient Mayan dialect. Spanish I can see because Mercury Steam is located in Spain after all, and they most likely adapted the language for that reason. 🤔
Imagine if Nintendo DIDN'T spoil the fact that Chozo would be in the game.
I would be more hyped than if I was surprised by Kraid being in the game.
Nahh
The reason so much pepole where hyped was cause they showed the Choso
@@jesusramirezromo2037 yeah, if metroid was more popular and they were sure that it would sell, they could have hidden it, but they had to show it to gain more attention
@@mlshiza5335 This.. totally this.. Metorid had been on a kind of hiatus for a bit so they had to hype up this new installment a bit.. I didn't watch lots of the promotional stuff so I dunno if they showed Quiet Robe tho.. all I remember was Raven Beak and it being that first confrontation
This moment was so awesome!!!! I really got mad when Quiet Robe got nuked😩😩😩😩
The music really ties it all together.
Raven Beak reminds me of Thanos. He’s a sociopath obssessed with forcefully reshaping everyone and everything around him in his image, all in the name of “peace”.
Kinda makes his fate more ironic.
I only heard of the metroid series and knowing that the chozo really weren't alive through the games.
This is my first metroid game ever and I was taken aback to hear samus speaks after going through the game. I thought she wasn't going say anything. This game made a he'll of a first impression
This cutscene shook me.
He knew, said, and did too much.
The mural art makes me think that the chozo were space Egypt
Oh for sure lol. That's part of what makes them so cool imo
that cutscene had me go so many emotion's first a jump scare then joy of seeing a Chozo with out the armor. then sad that he dies and anger at the thang that kill him.
Promise you won’t let him down.
When I played this and reached this part during my blind play through I was so freaken excited then deeply sad at his death
Tamus Arlan will avenge him
4:50 WOw she talked!!!! in Chozo! Bro we need more of this thing.
I like how they had Samus speak and it be a good way of being like "we won't screw up like Other M, we using our own fake language so no one can be mad" (plus it probably saved money to not have to have like a bunch of different voice actresses and just subtitle the scene)
seeing a living chozo just blew this game out of the water for me, i was ecstatic
"Were counting on you samus"
Dies
Samus also dies
Despite my saltiness that this getting in my recommend spoiled Quiet Robe dying you're reaction is still cool and the scene was still sick.
I love the sound of the Chozo language. I do hope we get to hear more of it down the line.
Okay after playing Metroid Dread I’ve realized a few things. I loved the scene where Mercury Steam remembered that Samus was raised by the Chozo. And that she spoke in the Chozo language. Now they need to go back to “Other M” and change it to fit in the timeline. They need to remember that Adam was a Commander that Samus had so much respect for, that if he asked her not to use power up do to the safety of others, that she wouldn’t. And not that he’s “like her father”. No. She had a father in Old Bird.
Other M has such great gameplay, and on Nintendo’s new consoles it would feel and play even more amazing, and they would be able to tweak out all the bugs. Movement would be so smooth with today’s controls, and you can have a 1st person view for looking/shooting if needed, but it doesn’t need to be required, it would just be a button press.
Then they need to go and bring in their best sound designers and orchestra, they need to bring the music back to Metroid, just like they did with the prime series, and Samus Returns. But with all new themes.
Music in Metroid let’s you know how Samus feels, it makes the mood.
They need to bring back the “purple” Gravity Suit, and not just a feature.
Missiles have to be useable in 3rd person, and not just first person view.
The counter needs to be updated to the new counter strike that’s in Samus returns/Dread, it would make the gameplay so much smoother then trying to manually dodge, or trying to jump on the enemy’s head.
Now let’s focus on the story.
First off we need a title that makes sense, and not a code for Mother. This is a game where everyone aboard a space ship dies, and so we need a strong name. Also
Samus never called the Metroid a baby in Samus Returns or Super Metroid, she called it “the Infant Metroid”, so let’s completely ditch her saying “the baby”. That got old pretty quick.
Now… Let’s address the PTSD when she sees Ridley, up to that point Samus has faced Ridley 5 times, and not once did she go PTSD. She can have a panic attack because yes she completely destroyed him in Super, and she’s completely shocked that the creature that killed her whole family in front of her is alive, but give the lady some dignity, and not make her out to be crazy.
And finally…
Adam didn’t shoot Samus in the back to stop her, instead the cloned infant Metroid attacked Samus, as she thought it just hatched and that she might develop a bond like before, and he shot the Metroid killing it, and saving her. That’s why she was so exhausted, because it had drained her life energy to feed.
Now the Voice acting/translation needs to be updated to our culture style, and not Japans culture style. People in other countries don’t always understand others cultures, and it makes things feel weird/awkward or dry. Instead let the actors and translation teams do what they do best. “Act”.
I think people really feel that Other M is a bad game because of a few missteps along the way, and because they forgot some of her real past. But at its core it’s a good game, and it has so much potential. Let’s make it be the game it deserves.
This scene sealed it for me, I knew from then on I was playing something I won’t forget.
静かなローブ (Shizukana rōbui)
i wonder what chozo does to a name if its made possible. (i mean, cybertronian and ultra-language is somewhat possible too)
Dude. Love that they reused the Chozo Lore art you unlocked throughout Samus Returns!
When that Brinstar theme hit tho!
Despite Raven Beak's morally corrupt nature, I feel pity for both Quiet Robe and Raven Beak. Such a galactic loss in the story...
Huh… Yeah, Raven Beak’s culling of the Thoha and the X decimating the Mawkin… These two were the last remaining Chozo.
Sebolba
he always wins
Please...give Samus an anime, or an (updated) manga (actually in english). Her story is so interesting!
I saw the cut scene before I got the video game and I was still surprised that they just killed them like that I got the feeling of I'm gonna play this game all over again I'm still gonna be surprised
Yeah I was pretty torn up when quiet robe got killed, too 😞
Well Samus Dead!
Cmon I can't be the only one slightly interested in this newly developed Chozo language. I also discovered some dudes decripted the language and made a true guide to learn the language🤯
INVISIBLE NIGHT SCHOOL you answered a question I was just about to ask
I want a Chozo dictionary now
Tbh i never wanna hear Samus speak english again, having a spoken in universe language is so much cooler, also makes total sense she grew up arround Chozo and is part chozo, she's probably more accustomed to their culture than human ones.
Wonder how well known the Chozo language is across the Metroid Universe, the space pirates obviously had no data on it as seen in prime so it has to be at least somewhat obscurre, then again the space pirates have no regard for culture or linguistic studies so they very likely just dont care to learn other languages then their own (because of this i allways immagined them speaking english as if they where parrots just mimmicking sounds without having grammatical understanding of it only applying a vague meaning).
Maybe species that where affiliated with Chozo like the Luminoth know the language but who knows.
thanks for implying heavy spoilers in the title. i already played the game but there's some people who can't yet
Good, I'm glad exposition parrot is dead! I featured his death twice in my recent video.
The best metroid game ever
So good, I'm actually gonna put a spoiler warning on a theory.
You know why this is significant right?
Because of course he can control the X, he made them too and didn't tell you. Same reason he's lying to you here about why Raven Beak think's hes controlling the EMMIs. He Isn't, and I just played the pronoun game. Most of r/chozolanguage has this one figured out. Metroid 6's metaphorical payoff is gonna be that Thoha genes made by the chozo were both able to recognize Samus only after thinking, but those aren't full chozo "mind" genes. Just the non-intelligent model. Chozo intelligence makes them too cunning, something the Thoha were learning from the Mawkin mid plan change.
It's why Quiet Robe later has white eyes again in the later scene where we see him "corrupted" by the x. He wasn't corrupted the same way the X was.
QR, or the Thoha made the X first, then made the metroid as a backup plan and didn't tell the Mawkin because Duh. It's a self answering question.
What did QR mean by RB "taking extreme measures"? Plot of metroid 1 was that Mother Brain just used to be a rogue AI right? And the they "retconned" that when this dev made the remake? When you know the answer, the rest of the plot makes sense.
The biggest lore dump in the history of metroid.
And the biggest Diabolus Ex Machina by such an anti-climatic death.
This is how,if needed, you portray Samus speaking. It was brief and impactful.
Suck it Other M!
I recently found new Informations about Metroid Other M and it's laughable Story. Thing is, apparently, all the bad plot points and dialogue was almost always caused by a mistranslation from Japanese to english.
Too Bad we didnt actually see your reaction
