  • @TonyRedgrave
    @TonyRedgrave 3 роки тому +1146

    Dark Souls' story is based on interpretation. We look at the scraps of info from items, dialogue and the environment, and then put those scraps into a picture we think is right. This is true for the characters as well. Solaire is no different. He was a friendly and somewhat goofy man who stood out amongst the gloom of Lordran. He cheered us up and helped us out whenever he could. At first he held his head high, but over time Lordran wore even him out. He faltered and, if it wasn't for us, he would have fallen. Indeed, we never get to see if he made anything of himself. In the grand scheme of things, Solaire was just another soul losing himself in the darkness of Lordran. We talked to him a few times, he helps us a few times, and we helped him in return. And that was it; that was all Solaire's story was.
    But we took that and made it more.
    We interpreted Solaire as a hero, a shining light that inspired many to set out in jolly cooperation. His worship of the sun became a meme, something that brought the community together. Hell, we even thought he was a god at one point. We made Solaire a legend, one that survives. In universe, The Warriors of Sunlight still thrive despite ages passing and the world falling apart. In real life, Solaire still serves as an inspiration, as proven by this song and the community.
    Call me sentimental, but I find that as beautiful as it is amazing. The Legend of Solaire is something we made and fueled. It is something that befits one as grossly incandescent as Solaire.
    Praise the Sun! \[T]/

  • @kratkartan1486
    @kratkartan1486 Рік тому +41

    One thing I I've always loved about Solaire is how badass he is. And that's no joke. His entire getup is custom made, and has nothing inherently special about it. It's not even bless by the gods. He doesn't even use a proper catalyst for his spells. He's a self made man, and his faith is so strong, he's even able to create lightning on his own. He was so powerful, that even through he though he couldn't find his own sun. He was ours. When we needed him most we could always find his sign. All bright and standing out amongst the rest. PRAISE THE SUN!!!

  • @grimms8783
    @grimms8783 4 роки тому +292

    Solaire through his story desperately looks for his own sun, going through all of Lordran, from the undead parish, to anor londo, and even the depths of lost izalith. All the time wondering where his own sun would be. But never did he realise that in reality, he was his own sun. Of all the individuals, all the undead, he shone the brightest. Not only was he in reality his own sun, but the sun for hundreds, thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Dark Souls community. I hope eventually you can see where your sun is, Sun Bro. PRAISE THE SUN

    The Warriors of Sunlight, the Heirs of the Sun. A covenant full of bright, friendly, selfless people who want nothing more than to help you, to make sure you go through this world unscathed and alive.
    The Warriors of Sunlight, the only covenant to survive unchanged, undefeated, uncorrupted through the ages of the world collapsing onto itself time and time again. And yet they still are here, standing bright and proud.

      I was among the first of the warriors of sunlight. In our day there was a genuine joy and hope when you suffered another defeat and saw that glowing golden sign on the ground. Or you timidly approached an unknown boss fight and were immediately comforted by that same golden glow. Warriors of sunlight would stand and fight with you over and over no matter how often you failed they would be right back at the start to face the same again. When you won they would send you cheerful and celebratory messages, then as you moved on they went back for the next new player behind you. I loved my time in service to the sun.

    I only became a Dark Souls fan last year (A friend of mine, who is a diehard fan, hoisted Dark Souls Remastered upon me when it came out, and I grew to love it), and was inevitably introduced to the music scene of the fandom, as well (By the same friend). This song in particular really resonated with me, and, when I got married this year, me and my wife had our first dance at the reception to Incandescent. I suggested it simply as a placeholder, since I loved the message of 'Standing together to face the unknown, even when all hope is lost'. She's grown to love the track, too, and is glad we went with it. So thanks, Aviators! And thanks, Solaire, for being the inspiration behind this song!

  • @BossRoomHooligan

    This song talks about Solaire and the Warriors of Sunlight, but for me is for the fellowship when you play Dark Souls with a friend, the moments of joy of killing a boss, fighting against invanders, dealing with the hazardous zones, many other white phantoms willing to help you out a long the way. I played the first Dark Souls because of friends downloaded when it was free on Xbox, I never had that many beautiful memories, those were some really good days I will never forget them. This song made me legit cry.

    You know a lot of people talk about Dark Souls being hard, the atmosphere being oppressive and grim, but few mention how the game follows a strong theme of hope. You're immediately thrown into a harsh world, though almost every NPC (except maybe Crestfallen) tells you to push forward, and more importantly, to not go hollow. This ties in well with the Hollowing itself, where people are more likely to hollow if they "give up" or lose their purpose. You, the player, never truly see your character go hollow since you never truly give up unless you turn the game off.
    It's refreshing to see a song that focuses on the hope reflected in the game and clinging to one of the few beacons of light in a dark world.

    Oh my... I remember the first time I played DS1. A friend introduced it to me in a moment of my life I felt desperate in so many ways (depression). I was enjoying the game, but every invasion I got, with people being jerks (giant dad phantom has invaded), killing me, pointing down, trolling (I was clearly a noob), made me a bit more frustrated and sad. When I reached Anor Londo, I felt miserable; the atmosphere was of sorrow and loneliness, which felt terrible at the time. However, when I met Solaire, I started smiling. It was like I was alive again!

Without the firstborn, without Gwyn, or Kath, or the first flame. Without any sort of cosmic power justifying it. They all did become the sun in a way. I don't know of a single player who didn't cry for solaire or have a moment of reaching out for a golden glowing summoning mark with a big happy smile.

The lyrics have been changed to fit the theme of Incandescent, apart from the lines "Spent years waiting for the time, I'd come to see the truth behind", and the last lines "I want to stay to keep you strong, Side by side is where we belong" are almost identical to the original lines "I want to stay to keep you strong, By your side is where I belong".

    What will you do at the end of the world? This question has many answers and it's interesting how the covenants in Dark Souls seem to have different answers. Way of White and Princess' Guard want to protect various gods and serve their will, Chaos Servants want to heal the Fair Lady, Darkmoon Blades want to punish sinners, Darkwraiths want to rob humanity and so on.
    Perhaps the only ones who I unironically think would just respond "Help people" are the Warriors of Sunlight. Solaire being representative of what they do, but the whole covenant and the community born around it, just a bunch of people intending to help those lost or stuck in Dark Souls's more difficult parts. Even years later, I still ran into WoS signs in the Remastered version.
    Simply beautiful.

I've struggled as well, but I won't let you die today" made me burst into tears. That struck a memory deep inside. He came through for me and struck the final blow on Gwyn just as I was about to die.
