I believe the reason jack got through the campaign wasn’t because of plot armor or durability, but because he can actually hear the soundtrack when fighting
Blade Wolf: Insanity through Restraint: “Why am I here?” Mistral: Insanity through Isolation: “Where do I belong?” Monsoon: Insanity through Perspective: “What’s the point of it all?” Sundowner: Insanity through Sadism: “Is this who I am?” Sam: Insanity through Loss of Self: “Who am I?” Armstrong: Insanity through Ambition: “What am I fighting for?”
I love how calm Red Sun is compared to all the others, cause lyrically it should be the exact opposite. Its just a man who loves destruction and carnage, but he loves it so much hes at peace with it.
The resurgence of MGRR started right after I got done playing the game my first time, I didnt really get to finish it as I got stuck on the last boss lmao I had like, 100% health and no healing items so I get bonked again and again. Soundtrack is really fucking lit man, it makes me want to keep playing despite dying over 50 times

The fact that this game's soundtrack breaks into lyrics when it reaches an emotional climax technically makes Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance a musical.
"I need to tell you something ... Please listen, and try not to panic. You've been singing the wrong lyrics for, quite some time. Yes yes, I know, you would like to know how long. Im afraid its been ... nine years."
Well then if you're said so: And so, if you and I were looking on the next year (2023 🐰🐇), it's probably lived up for *10 years and a decades worth of it's worldwide popularity* (and the MEMES made of it) right...😎
Rules of Nature: The law of the wild. Kill or be killed. I’m My Own Master Now: No chains to hold me, I am free. A Stranger I Remain: The desolate search for purpose. A place to belong if only for a time. The Hot Wind Blowing: Soldiers follow orders. What’s the point? I rise above and fight for more. The Stains of Time: Violence comes and goes as nature dictates until we die. Even as our hopes die it will go on until the inevitable end. Red Sun: The bloodthirsty paradise, an Eden of violence. The Only Thing I Know for Real: Identity lost to the madness and violence. Collective Consciousness: The power of the executive and the enslaved minds of the people. It Has to Be This Way: The sad clash of two unrelenting yet similar people. Mirror images of themselves, but only one walks forward while the other will bleed out into the soil, to water the ground for the future.
Seeing people’s personal rankings is amazing. I’ve seen Hot Wind Blowing and Red Sun in people’s first and last, and such vastly different lists. And yet nobody gets mad about other people’s rankings because the songs are all good
A Giant Nuclear Mech made of Carbon-Nano fiber, a material tougher than steal but much lighter, with a sword designed to cut through metal like it was butter. You wanna talk about going against nature this scenario is the best showing of it.
Ray isn't nuclear. Most of the metal gears aren't in Rising era. It's more of a anti city/high populated area warmachine now. The same that there is no pilot anymore but they are UG, they evolved according to how war turned, especially with the fact that there is cyborgs for the more "humans" tasks.
Honestly, Khamsin’s theme is so underrated, especially because it’s in the dlc, and only plays during the final finisher for his fight. I’m happy it’s now seeing a lot more recognition now that the game is getting more attention.

I really like how the wikia page describes the last song "The lyrics cover the personal admission, almost an apology, that the singer and their opponent have to fight against each other, even though there's little fault of their own or even any real reason for fighting, as violence begets violence. It can be interpreted as Armstrong and/or Raiden coming to recognize the similarities between their personal philosophies - similarities that allow them to understand each other's motivations, but which also force them to battle to the death." IN short, that in a way the two COULD have gotten along since they both agree that violence just breeds more violence but sadly they too have to fight for their views.
@Gabriel Damasceno Meurer yeah, they could've washed away the stains of time and forged a bond under the red sun, but sometimes things just don't go your way.

Hot Wind Blowing is criminally underrated, it's shame it's the only song not on Spotify. Collective Conciousness and Red Sun are my favourites since they're so catchy.
It’s because he’s the least memorable boss, not being part of the main story. Everyone remembers Monsoon and his meme speech, or Sam and his just coolness or Armstrong and his dramatic monologues and all the memes made about him.
Metal Gear Ray: It fights because that's what it was designed to do. Blade Wolf: It fights because it is forced to, even if it knows it is pointless. Mistral: She fights because she wants to have a purpose, even if it is a wrong one. Monsoon: He fights because only by fighting he feels something different to despair and emptiness. Sundowner: He fights because he loves the chaos and thrill of the fight. Sam: He fights because he wants to find someone better than him to fulfill his mission. MG Excelsus: It is used to fight to expand the memes of the patriots. Armstrong: He fights because he believes only by destroying everything can a new society raise. Khamsin: He fights because he is a soldier and they are made to fight.
It really says something about the composing team and the game itself when almost every single soundtrack is incredible and unique telling a message about each character’s personal plights and thoughts. You don’t often find a game where nearly every track is super memorable and meaningful. The composers of Rising really did a fantastic job and to see a further insight I highly recommend watching the video “Why Metal Gear Rising Revengeance’s Music is Genius.”
It's because the designers knew they couldn't fit in the backtory and motivations of the bosses into the game without sacrificing pacing. So they decided that you could put them safely into the songs of their bossfights and as players hopefully replayed it, they'd just get it. That's also why you have times in the boss fights where there are no lyrics like the copies, they're only the same physically and not mentally so they don't get the lyrics, or when Sam gets his sword knocked out. He's only at peace and calm when he's not fighting. Same with Sundowner, he's not himself hiding behind his shields so when you slice them off and he engages in his butcher mode does the lyrics pop out because he's finally *him*. It's a minor decision that had huge impacts in the game itself and we are so lucky they took this approach to it.
My favorite part of this game was when Samuel said, "Join us to celebrate National Ball Check Day™ on the first Tuesday in April to raise awareness for testicular cancer." Truly one of the most inspiring and badass quotes in history
And then Raiden counterclaimed his advertisement with a national geographic of the worldwide deaths of pigs after treatment for testicular cancer. The game is just too good
the red sun part is definitely something more than a beat drop. The lyrics are made so perfectly, that it makes the psychological action where the person is definitely into the music
there's a sort of drag to the vocals as well as the music itself, like it's taking a ton of effort, like how moving such a giant metal gear would take effort and energy.
This Soundtrack has literally saved my ass like twice at this point: I used it to study for a test and absolutely aced it, and it playing through my headphones helped me not lose my phone on a bus. This soundtrack is absolutely Godlike, to the point of being able to genuinely stop bad stuff from happening. 100/10 soundtrack, absolute bangers all around.
Blade Wolf: "Even if I am forced to fight, it doesn't mean I have to give up on my desire to be free to choose my own path" Mistral: "The battlefield will always embrace you, even when you don't feel welcome anywhere else. In time it will become your only home" Monsoon: "Becoming accustomed to violence will purge you of doubts and fear, but also make everything else feel meaningless" Sundowner: "We are just beasts with an unkillable instinct for violence. Humanity is no better than animals preying on and devouring each other" Sam: "I am left an empty shell, all my life is good for is as a tool for killing. There's no sense hating what I've become because fighting is all I can do." Armstrong: "(1)If you establish a hierarchy based on anything but strength and merit, people will just sheepishly accept to be controlled. They are no better than slaves. (2)It doesn't matter if you understand your enemy's ideals, in the end you will have to clash with them if you want to stand up for your own"
I think we all can agree that in just 2 years and 3 months this game has turned out to be the best ever from memes to badass head bobing songs this game was truly a masterpiece for its time and has aged very well
@@velvetsky3451 in 2009 they had scraped the idea of the game and tried making it stealth but it failed horribly so in 2011 they got together with platinum games to make this masterpiece
After hearing the entire OST for this game I can confirm that there is not a single bad song in the soundtrack. And the music alone makes me want to buy it
Rules of nature- 0:01 I'm my own master now- 2:25 A stranger I remain- 4:31 The Hot wind blowing- 6:52 The stains of time- 9:07 Red sun- 11:18 The only thing I know for real- 13:27 Collective consciousness- 15:50 It has to be this way- 18:26 For you people that are watching this video on a phone. You're welcome
I think The Only Thing I Know For Real is the best in terms of story and its meaning for Sam's character, but honestly the biggest bop of the OST is A Stranger I Remain 100%
It has to be this way,The only thing I know for real,Rules of Nature is pretty much the only thing mostly related to the story It has to be this way is about Death,Life being gone but it nothing more than normal thing that happen in our world,even if World War III happen,a human will still be born beneath the blood of human death,and Violence breed violence,it like you talking shit to someone,then it bring violence then the violence bring even more violence, So many life gone but nobody to blame,yes many life gone but who to blame? Death could happen without Human even doing it,there is no point of not killing or killing cause Human will die anyway Rules of Nature is about only strong can live on,and the weak shall perish which is also make sense, because Woman are weaker than man and you know what happen mostly to woman? R#pe,Only Stronger can rule,like Hitler,he is evil and has no good point on living,but he is stronger than us It rules of Nature,that how our reality work you can't defy that Rule that nature made The only thing I know for real is about,when war happen you go to the place it is just a desolated place that has no trace of living being,you don't know the season but what is the reason of knowing what the day what the season? You are standing there fighting for your life without a reason to do it,then again the only thing we can be sure when fighting in war there will be bloodshed Man in the mirror nod his head,kind of refer of you being proud of yourself for what you have done,The only one... LEFT will ride upon the dragon back,is referring to a guy in war that have the most known history as the only one Cause the mountains don't give back what they take,this referring to your decision in life,1 small decision can make big impact to your life like wasting even 1second of your time,God won't give back what you have done.
I think the thing I like the most about this soundtrack, is all these people can be represented as pieces of Raiden. What I mean by this, is that the themes work for both the villain, AND Raiden as well. Rules of nature is the strong vs the weak, hunter vs. Prey... But Raiden or Ray... Which is which? I'm my own master now is about control. An Ai being forced to fight or lose its self, believes that it is in charge of itself and it is the one choosing to fight. Raiden in MGS4 said he wouldn't be anyone's tool anymore, and yet here he is, following some code that even he doesn't know what it means anymore. Is he truly free? Are any of them? A Stranger I remain. Mistral and Raiden are both technically from overseas. He was a child soldier in Liberia, Mistral was a child soldier from Algeria. In the end, being on the battlefield they both were able to cut loose and it's there they found their purpose. It's where they were happy...but why? The Stains of Time. Monsoon and Jack. Both scarred by war. Pain. Pain washes over both of them. The difference, is Jack the Ripper relishes pain. He feels the pain to "remember what he fights for" which is so no one will have to feel the pain he does. If he feels pain, it means he is taking that pain from someone else, Monsoon on the other hand is filled with so much pain, he wants to spread it to everyone else. That in the end, life is pain, and that's all there is. You feel pain, drown in the mud, and die. Red Sun. The Glory or Devastation of War depending on how you view the lyrics. You can view it as, a paradise happening as a result, or a paradise being RUINED as a result. "I the distance machines come to transform Eden day by day" this line sticks out to me as child soldiers, "machines" going onto the battlefield, and destroying things on site in the case of Raiden. He was destroying beautiful scenery, leaving things to rot, and the peace he found with himself was, it was meant to happen. Because he was a machine. In terms of Jacked Bezos, it is talking about the glory of the battlefield. Beautiful scenery, heavenly lands, the circle of life etc... It's natural. To him he's in nature taking in the scenery. The only thing I know for real. Raiden again is questioning his own motives. He can't just be doing this because he loves to kill, can he? There has to be some deeper meaning. Why is he fighting? Why does he care? What is his goal? We'll he knows his goal but why IS IT his goal? Sam it's not that he doesn't know why he is fighting, it's we the viewer who's confused as to why they're fighting. That's my interpretation at least as I have not played the DLC. Colloctive Conciousness. It's literal in both ways. What I mean by this is it can be viewed as Raiden arguing against these points and saying them defiantly and sarcastically, where Armstrong is embodying and saying these things. It Has to be this way. This is where we come full circle. Raiden finally realizes why he fights. Because he, was weak, and no one fought for him. He had to fight for himself, and he does not anyone to become like him. If Armstrong has his way, it will be The Strongest will Survive. The weak will no longer have a voice. Raiden then embodies all of his enemies and their virtues into realizing his purpose and how he was molded. He started weak but became strong. The hunter became his prey. He was under control of his beliefs but had no idea why. He realises he is not under his beliefs control. No, he CHOOSES to follow his beliefs. He found what he was looking for. He suffers on the battlefield so no one else has to. Pain is his motivator. He hates others being subjected to pain if they don't have to. The weak don't deserve it. He will kill like a machine if he has to, to change the lands into the Eden he once knew. He now knows why he fights and who he is. He is the voice of the weak. He is Raiden. He is Lightning, the Rain Transformed. Stay Awes9me.
Actually the only thing i know for real Is for raiden not for Sam, Sam actual song Is the last one that Is why It only sounds when you are fighting Armstrong with His sword and the song stops when Armstrong makes you loose the sword
unknown facts: - every other battle theme in this game are raiden themes... yes he have themes, and A SOUL CAN'T BE CUT is in specific for jack - Rules of Nature have a "BETA" version named: "locked & loaded" - there are so much unnamed and forgotten secondary themes in the game
Wander Badass It has to be this way isn’t Armstrong’s theme, fun fact. It’s Raiden’s. It shows that Armstrong is rubbing off on Raiden, as demonstrated in the ending when he is show repeating some of what Armstrong said. Whoever had won the battle would’ve emerged changed, stronger for it in both body and ideals.
Don't get me wrong, The only thing I know for real and it has to be this way are good for meme potential, but for me personally, Red Sun is by far the best track this game has to offer
Jetstream Sam is the most Chad out of all the bosses. During his interview: He managed to cut off one of Armstrong’s hands Armstrong acknowledges him Jetstream absolutely steamrolled the early game RAIDEN Jetstream still gave a tough challenge to current RAIDEN Jetstream beat up bladewolf in his dlc Many other examples

In this case, I did not want said pfp to be seen as a "statement". Please don't, like I said, it's just a meme I liked like many, and used it. Not meant to be rude or anything. Thanks, Drake
Red Sun is my favorite. It’s doesn’t go all total Metal on you. It’s calmer and slower. The lyrics describe Sundowner so well, and the singer… the singer… he’s awesome.
@@Cat-pv6yx It Has To Be This Way is more so both of their themes, Collective Consciousness is what Raiden thinks is Armstrong's theme before he fights him.
I get that everyone thinks that "It Has to be This Way" is overrated, but hear me out. It makes for the *perfect* final boss music. Like think about it. Hear as the music swells at the very beginning, letting you know shit's about to go down. The way it can maintain that feeling of "This is it. This is what I've worked so hard to achieve." is simply incredible. And of course, the vocals are a godsend.
I love pretty much love all of the songs I’m my own Master is just good in my opinion It’s a bit more chill than the other songs. I should play mgr to get context
I think it has to do with everybody memeing it to death to the point where some got sick of it, so when they hear the full thing it's not as special as hearing it the first time. It's still fire tho and fitting to the whole thing. It's kind of like they knew the previous tracks were intense enough already, making it more heroic and meaningful shows how far you've come and what you learned throughout the rest of the game.
Oh it's a very fitting song for the final boss, I just think it overshadows the rest of these tracks and imo it's my least favourite (not to imply it's bad - it's great - but the bar is out of the atmosphere)
Honestly what I love about this is that nobody can agree on a definitive "best song" out of the whole OST. It really goes to show that all of them are amazing and should be equally loved.
Bruh i just downloaded this game today, it's a crime I didn't know this game long ago. I got goosebumps all over my body when raiden lifted up the first Boss with just his bare hands
I like how the start actually foreshadows the entire plot; “No guarantee which of them will succeed, strong or weak.”, which is the entire plot, weak fighting the strong.
Ya know, when I played the game I thought that "Collective consciousness" was Armstrong's song and that "It has to be this way" represented Raiden. As he came to the end of his journey he learned from his past opponents and realized that it's not about fighting for the right cause, for who is he to judge the right from wrong, but about fighting for what he believes in. As how much a meme this game is, the soundtrack is what makes it stand out for me the most.
I remember seeing Sundowner boss fight back when i was 7, at that time i don't know what game that is 10 years later finally get to play it. This game is a masterpiece
Best soundtrack I have ever heard. When my cat heard it, he broke every rule of nature. My grandparent's dog became her own master. As for me, I was just a stranger until I heard it, despite the fact that the hot wind was blowing stains onto the sun. Now, the only thing I know for real in my collective consciousness is that it has to be this way.
The best part of this OST is that "Stains of Time". "Red Sun". "The Only Thing I Know For Real". "Collective Consciousness" and "It Has To Be This Way" could all be final boss themes.
For me it's: 1. Stains of time (it's fast and intense and I love monsoon) 2. Red sun (the guitar at the start and the chorus is one of the best things I've heard) 3. The only thing I know for real (bit overplayed but still good) 4. Collective consciousness (THE UNENLIGHTENED MASSES) 5. It has to be this way (the vocals are godly) 6. The hot wind blowing (it's fast and intense ) 7. Rules of nature ( I have nothing to complain about it's good) 8. Stranger i remain ( it starts a bit slow but I love the chorus) 9. I'm my own master now (it's good but not it's not something that I can really get into) Note: i don't necessarily dislike any of them it's just that I like others more than some songs and threatening me in the replies won't help at all
@@red_dawg5564 same, I thought CC was weaker than the rest, but once I watched a playthrough of the boss fight my view on the song changed as quickly as you can find someone reference max0r and now I love CC Still don't understand the glitchy megaphone part
I know I’m the unpopular take here, but I personally think Stranger I Remain is my fav. It’s got that intense rock mixed with beautiful piano that gives it a sort of Magical Girl or Bayonetta energy, and it’s just gorgeous
@@vit-t680well one of those is a final boss theme (and final boss themes usually sound different based off of their character so to me most do fit for being a final theme because they reflect the character)
Aurum Deoxys You're welcome, I'm listening this for more than one hour, is nice to listen and enjoy both a good song and with the powerful lyrics. Have a good day!
Red Sun really is the thinking man's theme. It doesn't have lyrics that sock you in the jaw with its delivery, but it's still an interesting compare and contrast.
there will be bloodshed standing here, i realize red sun over paradise i am a wind of destruction i finally found what i was looking for rules of nature wash away the anger the unenlightened masses im my own master now
@@marvolerblink more like the only thing i know for real standing here, i realize when the wind is slow and the fire's hot heat of the desert i finally found what i was looking for rules of nature and it will come live in ignorance and purchase your happiness time to leave them all behind
RULES OF NATURE Time to leave them all behind! I was looking for And it will come like a flood of pain When the wind is slow and the fire's hot There will be bloodshed Standing here, I realize you were Just like me trying to make history. But who's to judge the right from wrong. When our guard is down I think we'll both agree. That violence breeds violence. But in the end it has to be this way. I've curved my own path, you've followed your wrath; But maybe we're both the same. The world has turned, and so many have burned. But nobody is to blame. It's tearing across this barren wasted land. I feel new life could be born beneath The blood stained sand.

I’m My Own Master Now: No chains to hold me, I am free.
A Stranger I Remain: The desolate search for purpose. A place to belong if only for a time.
The Hot Wind Blowing: Soldiers follow orders. What’s the point? I rise above and fight for more.
The Stains of Time: Violence comes and goes as nature dictates until we die. Even as our hopes die it will go on until the inevitable end.

Ray isn't nuclear. Most of the metal gears aren't in Rising era. It's more of a anti city/high populated area warmachine now.

I really like how the wikia page describes the last song
"The lyrics cover the personal admission, almost an apology, that the singer and their opponent have to fight against each other, even though there's little fault of their own or even any real reason for fighting, as violence begets violence. It can be interpreted as Armstrong and/or Raiden coming to recognize the similarities between their personal philosophies - similarities that allow them to understand each other's motivations, but which also force them to battle to the death."
IN short, that in a way the two COULD have gotten along since they both agree that violence just breeds more violence but sadly they too have to fight for their views.
sadly that’s simply the rules of nature.

It really says something about the composing team and the game itself when almost every single soundtrack is incredible and unique telling a message about each character’s personal plights and thoughts. You don’t often find a game where nearly every track is super memorable and meaningful. The composers of Rising really did a fantastic job and to see a further insight I highly recommend watching the video “Why Metal Gear Rising Revengeance’s Music is Genius.”
that part when sam looses his sword and the lyrics stop...
The fact that the guy who made this also made the toon town music is slightly terrifying
pretty easy to do that when your game lasts 5 hours
@@klausivarschmitt5133 it's also when Raiden looses his sword while fighting the senator
It's because the designers knew they couldn't fit in the backtory and motivations of the bosses into the game without sacrificing pacing. So they decided that you could put them safely into the songs of their bossfights and as players hopefully replayed it, they'd just get it.
That's also why you have times in the boss fights where there are no lyrics like the copies, they're only the same physically and not mentally so they don't get the lyrics, or when Sam gets his sword knocked out. He's only at peace and calm when he's not fighting. Same with Sundowner, he's not himself hiding behind his shields so when you slice them off and he engages in his butcher mode does the lyrics pop out because he's finally *him*. It's a minor decision that had huge impacts in the game itself and we are so lucky they took this approach to it.

I think The Only Thing I Know For Real is the best in terms of story and its meaning for Sam's character, but honestly the biggest bop of the OST is A Stranger I Remain 100%
This guy understands.
It has to be this way,The only thing I know for real,Rules of Nature is pretty much the only thing mostly related to the story
It has to be this way is about Death,Life being gone but it nothing more than normal thing that happen in our world,even if World War III happen,a human will still be born beneath the blood of human death,and Violence breed violence,it like you talking shit to someone,then it bring violence then the violence bring even more violence,
So many life gone but nobody to blame,yes many life gone but who to blame? Death could happen without Human even doing it,there is no point of not killing or killing cause Human will die anyway
Rules of Nature is about only strong can live on,and the weak shall perish which is also make sense, because Woman are weaker than man and you know what happen mostly to woman? R#pe,Only Stronger can rule,like Hitler,he is evil and has no good point on living,but he is stronger than us
It rules of Nature,that how our reality work you can't defy that Rule that nature made
The only thing I know for real is about,when war happen you go to the place it is just a desolated place that has no trace of living being,you don't know the season but what is the reason of knowing what the day what the season? You are standing there fighting for your life without a reason to do it,then again the only thing we can be sure when fighting in war there will be bloodshed
Man in the mirror nod his head,kind of refer of you being proud of yourself for what you have done,The only one... LEFT will ride upon the dragon back,is referring to a guy in war that have the most known history as the only one
Cause the mountains don't give back what they take,this referring to your decision in life,1 small decision can make big impact to your life like wasting even 1second of your time,God won't give back what you have done.
For me "I'm my own master now" is pretty underrated

I think the thing I like the most about this soundtrack, is all these people can be represented as pieces of Raiden.
What I mean by this, is that the themes work for both the villain, AND Raiden as well.
Rules of nature is the strong vs the weak, hunter vs. Prey... But Raiden or Ray... Which is which?
I'm my own master now is about control. An Ai being forced to fight or lose its self, believes that it is in charge of itself and it is the one choosing to fight. Raiden in MGS4 said he wouldn't be anyone's tool anymore, and yet here he is, following some code that even he doesn't know what it means anymore. Is he truly free? Are any of them?
A Stranger I remain. Mistral and Raiden are both technically from overseas. He was a child soldier in Liberia, Mistral was a child soldier from Algeria. In the end, being on the battlefield they both were able to cut loose and it's there they found their purpose. It's where they were happy...but why?
The Stains of Time. Monsoon and Jack. Both scarred by war. Pain. Pain washes over both of them. The difference, is Jack the Ripper relishes pain. He feels the pain to "remember what he fights for" which is so no one will have to feel the pain he does. If he feels pain, it means he is taking that pain from someone else, Monsoon on the other hand is filled with so much pain, he wants to spread it to everyone else. That in the end, life is pain, and that's all there is. You feel pain, drown in the mud, and die.
Red Sun. The Glory or Devastation of War depending on how you view the lyrics. You can view it as, a paradise happening as a result, or a paradise being RUINED as a result. "I the distance machines come to transform Eden day by day" this line sticks out to me as child soldiers, "machines" going onto the battlefield, and destroying things on site in the case of Raiden. He was destroying beautiful scenery, leaving things to rot, and the peace he found with himself was, it was meant to happen. Because he was a machine.
In terms of Jacked Bezos, it is talking about the glory of the battlefield. Beautiful scenery, heavenly lands, the circle of life etc... It's natural. To him he's in nature taking in the scenery.
The only thing I know for real. Raiden again is questioning his own motives. He can't just be doing this because he loves to kill, can he? There has to be some deeper meaning. Why is he fighting? Why does he care? What is his goal? We'll he knows his goal but why IS IT his goal? Sam it's not that he doesn't know why he is fighting, it's we the viewer who's confused as to why they're fighting. That's my interpretation at least as I have not played the DLC.
Colloctive Conciousness. It's literal in both ways. What I mean by this is it can be viewed as Raiden arguing against these points and saying them defiantly and sarcastically, where Armstrong is embodying and saying these things.
It Has to be this way. This is where we come full circle. Raiden finally realizes why he fights. Because he, was weak, and no one fought for him. He had to fight for himself, and he does not anyone to become like him. If Armstrong has his way, it will be The Strongest will Survive. The weak will no longer have a voice. Raiden then embodies all of his enemies and their virtues into realizing his purpose and how he was molded.
He started weak but became strong. The hunter became his prey.
He was under control of his beliefs but had no idea why. He realises he is not under his beliefs control. No, he CHOOSES to follow his beliefs.
He found what he was looking for. He suffers on the battlefield so no one else has to.
Pain is his motivator. He hates others being subjected to pain if they don't have to. The weak don't deserve it.
He will kill like a machine if he has to, to change the lands into the Eden he once knew.
He now knows why he fights and who he is. He is the voice of the weak. He is Raiden. He is Lightning, the Rain Transformed.
Stay Awes9me.
Great comment and interpretation
holy sh**
Actually the only thing i know for real Is for raiden not for Sam, Sam actual song Is the last one that Is why It only sounds when you are fighting Armstrong with His sword and the song stops when Armstrong makes you loose the sword
I guess HWB is about Raiden being a soldier following orders then
😨
unknown facts:
- every other battle theme in this game are raiden themes... yes he have themes, and A SOUL CAN'T BE CUT is in specific for jack
- Rules of Nature have a "BETA" version named: "locked & loaded"
- there are so much unnamed and forgotten secondary themes in the game
Unnamed? Like what?
@@intensellylit4100 for example, the songs that play one time in cutscenes, for example, when you was about to start to play in prologue
Wander Badass It has to be this way isn’t Armstrong’s theme, fun fact. It’s Raiden’s.
It shows that Armstrong is rubbing off on Raiden, as demonstrated in the ending when he is show repeating some of what Armstrong said.
Whoever had won the battle would’ve emerged changed, stronger for it in both body and ideals.
You know the name of the secondary themes? I can't find them.
Especially the one that plays after raiden destroys a blackjet in half
There is no dispute in this community which theme is the best. You can name any track as your favorite and I'll say good choice, king

Don't get me wrong, The only thing I know for real and it has to be this way are good for meme potential, but for me personally, Red Sun is by far the best track this game has to offer
Respectable opinion
For me Rules of Nature, Hot Wind Blowing and War Still Rages Within
I think red sun is by far the best track, but it probably has the lyrics with the least meaning.
@@serpster8701 I don’t agree with that, watch the sundowner analysis
Chad detected. Opinion tolerated
Jetstream Sam is the most Chad out of all the bosses.
During his interview:
He managed to cut off one of Armstrong’s hands
Armstrong acknowledges him
Jetstream absolutely steamrolled the early game RAIDEN
Jetstream still gave a tough challenge to current RAIDEN
Jetstream beat up bladewolf in his dlc
Many other examples
Important note: he did all this without enhancements

Lost my job and grandpa(he was basically my real dad) the same week. I’ve spent this whole month rotting. I discovered metal gear this month as well. And discovering this album today made me jump out of bed and do something for myself once. Video games are healing
Wow, hope that the situation is better now, good luck
Sorry that this happened, hope things get better. You should play the Metal Gear Solid games, so worth it.
Edit: Please don't entangle my pfp with what I said, I just like the meme from that pfp and just wanted to use it. This pfp was meant for nothing more than a funny meme and hell, something else. In this case, I did not want said pfp to be seen as a "statement". Please don't, like I said, it's just a meme I liked like many, and used it. Not meant to be rude or anything.
Thanks, Drake
Sorry for tour loss
Hope you feel better soon friend 👍
And that's exactly what video games (or any media for that matter) should do: stimulate our emotions, give us reasons to push forward in our lives!
Collective consciousness is so good, it might not be meme worthy but its powerful
Viiiiiiolence breeds viiiiiiiolence!
Rodeen that’s probably my favorite lyric
@@arseneyo Same
and in the end it has to be this waaaay
Its true violence does breed violence the song is right about that
Aron Green this song tells me that while people can have similar goals and want to do good that doesn’t mean the ends justify the means.
Red Sun is my favorite. It’s doesn’t go all total Metal on you. It’s calmer and slower. The lyrics describe Sundowner so well, and the singer… the singer… he’s awesome.
He's also fucking invincible!
It reminds me of something I'd hear in a Sonic game.
@@Fuzunga not always a bad thing
the fact it describes the annual attempt to remove Soucal from existing also fits sundowner's character
Watch the little V cover of Red Sun, its amazing
I'll never get over the fact that the man that made these pieces also made the ToonTown tracks
Raiden: “You are the WORST PERSON I met on ToonTown!”
Sam: “You’re deaf to the sins of this world.”

Collective Consciousness is so underrated
it's one of the few soundtracks that gives me goosebumps at its coolness.
Yeah keeps getting overshadowed by "It has To Be This Way"; to be fair though, "It Has To Be This Way" is fucking awesome
If I ever incite a revolution, Collective Consciousness will be the rally song
IMO It has to be this way is Raiden’s theme, and Senator Armstrong’s theme is Collective Conciousness
@@Cat-pv6yx It Has To Be This Way is more so both of their themes, Collective Consciousness is what Raiden thinks is Armstrong's theme before he fights him.
I love the thematic through line of these bosses. Music can tell such good stories.
that's why they're called "theme" songs
Good music or not it didn't save them
I get that everyone thinks that "It Has to be This Way" is overrated, but hear me out. It makes for the *perfect* final boss music. Like think about it. Hear as the music swells at the very beginning, letting you know shit's about to go down. The way it can maintain that feeling of "This is it. This is what I've worked so hard to achieve." is simply incredible. And of course, the vocals are a godsend.
ukrainian chad vs senator vladimir
I love pretty much love all of the songs
I’m my own Master is just good in my opinion
It’s a bit more chill than the other songs. I should play mgr to get context
I think it has to do with everybody memeing it to death to the point where some got sick of it, so when they hear the full thing it's not as special as hearing it the first time. It's still fire tho and fitting to the whole thing. It's kind of like they knew the previous tracks were intense enough already, making it more heroic and meaningful shows how far you've come and what you learned throughout the rest of the game.
Overrated means it's popular, yet bad
So youre calling that shit bad???????????
Oh it's a very fitting song for the final boss, I just think it overshadows the rest of these tracks and imo it's my least favourite
(not to imply it's bad - it's great - but the bar is out of the atmosphere)
Honestly what I love about this is that nobody can agree on a definitive "best song" out of the whole OST. It really goes to show that all of them are amazing and should be equally loved.

I feel as guitar on "The Stains of time" begun burning...
Very nice electrometal song
I like how the start actually foreshadows the entire plot;
“No guarantee which of them will succeed, strong or weak.”, which is the entire plot, weak fighting the strong.
Ya know, when I played the game I thought that "Collective consciousness" was Armstrong's song and that "It has to be this way" represented Raiden. As he came to the end of his journey he learned from his past opponents and realized that it's not about fighting for the right cause, for who is he to judge the right from wrong, but about fighting for what he believes in. As how much a meme this game is, the soundtrack is what makes it stand out for me the most.
👏👏👏👏

@@cheese0827 I've found you, after so long.
The best part of this OST is that "Stains of Time". "Red Sun". "The Only Thing I Know For Real". "Collective Consciousness" and "It Has To Be This Way" could all be final boss themes.
And that's why I really like them lmao
That's a good way to put it
I'd argue all of them could be except I'm My Own Master Now
'It Has to Be This Way' is the ACTUAL, LITERAL final boss theme, bro, so you're mostly spot on.
@@tstanator I know that, but the other characters and their themes could also be final boss material.

For me it's:

2. Red sun (the guitar at the start and the chorus is one of the best things I've heard)
3. The only thing I know for real (bit overplayed but still good)
4. Collective consciousness (THE UNENLIGHTENED MASSES)
5. It has to be this way (the vocals are godly)
6. The hot wind blowing (it's fast and intense )
7. Rules of nature ( I have nothing to complain about it's good)
8. Stranger i remain ( it starts a bit slow but I love the chorus)
9. I'm my own master now (it's good but not it's not something that I can really get into)
