There's something so ancient and omnious to the tone of the song but at the same time a sense of familiarity almost like you were always supposed to be there.
This is where the Chaos emeralds were leading sonic. Maybe not intentionally, perhaps not even desired. But the Starfall islands are the closest thing to a home the Chaos Emeralds have on this world. Their people were lost, and became the beloved chao we know and adore. Their home is gone, destroyed twice over. All that's left are these ruins, this...air of loss. Sonic knows chaos, better than anyone else... I'd argue even shadow isn't as close to chaos as sonic is. Of course, one day he'd come here, to the original source of the chaos emeralds. And he'd feel their Nistolga for days gone by.
I think I mentioned this before, but I love this kind of music in this series. I know Sonic is known for exciting action-packed music, but I absolutely love it when the series goes into solemn music. It's like Sonic is having some serious internal thoughts while running through the plains
I know some don't like it on Ouranos since it takes away its main theme. But I feel like it's a good way to make a "calm before the storm" feel before fighting the final Titan. The song is calming yet steadily more tense as it goes on. Plus its a nice way to tie back to the beginning of the game like its a full circle.
Ami yes I like it. (I prefer the theme of the starfall island more than that of Ouranus). It gives me the feeling that there is still hope or that the end of the road has come. Whereas the one with Ouranus gives me the vibe that there is still a chance to save the world. My only complaint is that the second theme song from Kronos is pretty much the same theme from Starfall Island (By the way the first three islands only have 7 musical themes, Reah has one and Ouranus 2 the original and the one from the Starfall Island)
Well, if you cried with this song, I only pass you this video of this same game and listen to the background music of the first level and there it is deeper: ua-cam.com/video/0W08Tqbz6YM/v-deo.html *(just go to minute **2:14** and then notice how sad and deep the music is, but dont worry, is not desperate either, it is simply quiet, although I cried because that day something very sad had happened to me (I lost a friend) and I I was listening to the sad and deep music and I let off steam crying)*
I listened to this on almost full in airpods volume in pitch blackness laying on my bed at 00:05 pm with only the moons pasty glare percing through my window blinds with the light varying due to the window being open and moving the blinds about, listened to it after a 1 hour workout doing arms and abs, and let me tell you a was blown away, after the such majestic melody slowly drifted away i stated clapping in the dark with no one around that it was that good, absolutely phenomenal
This is definitely one of my favorite tracks in the series now, and I'm thankful that Ohtani and co. were given the room to experiment with Sonic's OST beyond what Forces already did.
Is it bad I'm already getting nostalgic about this game? Just the wait for this game's release felt so exciting. Those few months after we realized the game was actually gonna be good, I have never anticipated a game this much. I'm genuinely going to miss those days. Although I was massively impressed after I played it, I'm still going to dearly miss the days of me wondering what the story is gonna be, how it's gonna play and making up scenarios on what could happen on Kronos Island. This game really impacted my life, honestly. It's like a comfort zone for me. I'll never forget those months where I kept listening to this and Vandalize on repeat, barely being able to wait and see what this game had in store for us. Thank you, SEGA, and even more, thank you Sonic Team. You have changed my life for the better with all of your past games. I cannot begin to express my gratitude. It's been an honor getting to where we are now.
I read an interview that said the game's script would be rewritten in the Japanese released to be more melancholic, but listening to this track makes me feel the western release will still have that feel even if its more low key in it.
@@Killumi_ Ken Penders wrote the script apparently, They said in their own words that it was being rewritten in Japans release. Could have just been a translation error though.
@@Killumi_ Actually, similar to Lost World, the story was originally written in English! Izuka didn’t want an exact translation as some parts of the story’s meaning would get lost in translation. So basically he rewrote the story in Japanese to capture the same feelings without the loss of translation.
After finishing Sonic Frontiers, I can say for sure this was the most reflexive and serene Sonic game I've ever played. The environment, its story-telling and music really set the mood of the game for me. It was really pleasant to play.
Before Frontiers, the only music in the Sonic franchise that was this emotional was the Sonic Mega Collection history/museum, which will always have a place in my childhood, but this takes emotion to an even greater depth.
Oooh this game is gonna be EPIC,thank you for this extended obra prima😉👍i feel like i'm on a cliff while look at the sunset😌...oh good the stars are coming
I'll be honest, I'm not particularly hyped for this game. My overall impressions have not changed since the original reveal. But I'll be damned if this track isn't doing a lot of things right. I spent the whole day working to this song.
@@DreaguiVIIIt's centered on exploration with a sense of mystery, all while playing as Sonic, and the song's mystery can still be heard when sped up a little. Take other songs in the series for instance, like "Tricky Maze" from Adventure 1, or "Careening Cavern" from Lost World. They have a sense of mystery while also encouraging the player to move/explore.
this version of the song doesn't seem to be in the game from the sounds of it. doesn't have those violins, booming bass and electronic hum. (more prevalent during the beginning and ending of the track) unless that's just me? if this is in the game and someone can point me in the right direction, that would be nice.
I had to check both the official soundtrack and the first time the track was uploaded and it seems that there are some slight differences in the drums at minute 2:52 or at least that I noticed
@@courin_coco2619 it's really too bad! i like the presence this version of the track has. it's kinda intense, but i can understand why they'd want to change that.
@@gabrielaaron7572 that's a good point. i remember the song replaying on ouranos. it's not in the kronos movement though, and ouranos doesn't have any movements like the first 3 islands. do you have the track name on hand?
I would like to see the open world in this game and Sonic did the wisp thing and Tails is calling for Sonic i mean Sonic Colors Ultimate was good and make a new game

I did
Because it always is
It hits even harder now that the game is out
ahem
Sonic Unleashed still exists
@@LoryTheCableGuy Yes
Can't wait to come back to this theme 8 years later to get hit with the nostalgia.
Me too
See you in 8 years
See ya in 8 years
It already nostalgic
its already been a year

when the music alone makes you want to buy the game before it even comes out then you know its going to be a good soundtrack
IMHO the music alone can carry the whole game into GOTY nominee
@@menorasendaiba6404 there's a category for best soundtrack for the first time this year

SEGA is the final boss of video game music
And rushing games even though I still love Frontiers
And it's always been like that, even back in the 90s with Nights into Dreams and PSO.
Best of Sonic Frontiers, the song made me cry at the 3rd minute, especially when I finally got to the part from the IGN trailer
To me, Video Game Music in the Mainstream has been lacking lately
Well, if you cried with this song, I only pass you this video of this same game and listen to the background music of the first level and there it is deeper:

@@bayeriecherry4322 it did
@@bayeriecherry4322 but its very gooooood song
ive always wanted a sonic game to have this kind of tone
I hope that Sonic Prime TAKES ON this kind of tone.
@@rambunctiousmedia3350 It does
Sonic 06 did that with aquatic base, sand level, flame core cavern, snow level
1:22 is my favorite part. That feels the most calm, yet tense to me at the same time.
HOLY COW! Sega really hired that man!
4:39 OHTANI CALM DOWN IT’S JUST THE OVERWORLD THEME
I listened to this on almost full in airpods volume in pitch blackness laying on my bed at 00:05 pm with only the moons pasty glare percing through my window blinds with the light varying due to the window being open and moving the blinds about, listened to it after a 1 hour workout doing arms and abs, and let me tell you a was blown away, after the such majestic melody slowly drifted away i stated clapping in the dark with no one around that it was that good, absolutely phenomenal

Of curse
Sonic frontiers will be the best sonics game 😄😄😄😄😄😄
Long time for this game 4 years from having bad games of sonic like force 😭
forces was decent imo
@@danielfenalp5214 We haven't had a good game since Colors (Generations was `eh` for me).
So glad this game put an end to the so-called `meta` era.
I haven't seen sega put so much effort into a Sonic game's soundtrack since Unleashed
Oh my god... This is absolutely beautiful
Putting this song in the last segment of the final island was a stroke of genius. Has a sense of finality I’ve never felt in a game before.
This song is full of beauty I really hope SEGA releases this soundtrack after the game comes out
Yes, they have.
It's somber yet relaxing, it's been a while since a Sonic game has made me feel this way.
It still baffles me that this game didn’t at the very least get nominated for best soundtrack at the Game Awards
I guess I should gave big credits for this music, I could listen to this all day all night while studying or relaxing
That music is so relaxing, I can't wait until I get my hands on this new game! 😁
I read an interview that said the game's script would be rewritten in the Japanese released to be more melancholic, but listening to this track makes me feel the western release will still have that feel even if its more low key in it.
Isn’t the Japanese version the original one tho?? For all Sonic, so it should be the contrary scrip is rewritten to English or maybe clarify that

I dont know why but when i listen to this in the night with cold wind i get so many nostalgic memories and its so good
Sounds like a nostalgic night
You know the theme is good when I have to pause the game to look it up on UA-cam.
This... This is art in its purest form.
This track alone when I first heard it in the teaser was why I was excited for frontiers, to me this is the main theme of the game.
Finally someone that hasn't muted the song. I couldn't hear on my phone.
Before Frontiers, the only music in the Sonic franchise that was this emotional was the Sonic Mega Collection history/museum, which will always have a place in my childhood, but this takes emotion to an even greater depth.
Let’s bring this home… for the Hedgehog…
#SonicSweep
Our boy is finally back !
3:58 Favourite part
again
3:07 When it shifts there. Man.
Best Sonic game ever: best soundtrack as well
I really like this theme!
It reminds me of Skyrim's music
So thats why it's so familiar
What beautiful and calm music☺️
Beautiful Melody Piano Soundtrack by Sega for Sonic Frontiers 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼💯💯💯💯💯
The start of this easily reminds me of that little theme music from “STARZ 2016” + this whole game feels like such a world-class movie too ⭐️🤩
3:59 IGN Teaser Trailer Section
Brilliant, I've been waiting for this. Thank you.
This music is great!
but on a serious note I'm sort of exited for this game I've always wanted a open world sonic game
Gives me strong nier vibes. 😩
This song feels so ominous and mysterious at the same time, yet it is so calming.
Can wait for the Rainy Ambience edits
4:10 ❤❤
This is my new sleep music.
This is cinema
I love this music in the game and it kinda reminds me of Kingdom Hearts!!
Oooh this game is gonna be EPIC,thank you for this extended obra prima😉👍i feel like i'm on a cliff while look at the sunset😌...oh good the stars are coming
2:16 - 3:06 The violin in this part reminds me of planet wisp
Anyone else getting Major Kingdom hearts vibes from this?
Yep, me. Shimomura vibes
Best for sleep
Anyone notice the main piano rhythm sounds similar to the one in I'm With You (vs The End)?
can't wait for frontiers
This gives me the ugly face when something is that good and makes me wanna cry so bad
3:20 is the best part for me
_why this fucking song makes me cry_
Uhhhhhhhhhggggggggggg this is DOPE 🤧🤧
Wow is Marvelous ✨ style Breath and Xenoblade
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
of it's Sonic of the wild
Last Island vibes
is it me or does it sound like kingdom hearts?
it gives me botw vibes
@@the_stranger833 same
It's the piano and violin combo for me. Yoko Shimomura would be proud.
This track reminds me of the soundtrack for Halo 3: ODST

@@DjimonMoz Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh okay…
Why are there ads on this video, it’s music…
Money
Nah it actually sounds like the mario ue4 demo… Sega hired that man for the music too.
1:24 is my favourite part
Please leave this mix up, alright?
This infact the whole game gives me SA1 vibes especially the dreamcast version like back in the days
*Give me some made in abyss vibes*
This song confuses me because I mainly hear it on Ouranos Island but it's not Ouranos Island's theme?
Rhea island and Ouranos Island are actually parts of Kronos Island.
For those who enjoy the song but feel it's a little too calm, set the playback speed to 1.5, much more fitting for a Sonic song 🙂🎶
They honestly should had made it 1.5x speed. Its SO much better like this
It is centered on mystery, not speed
