You know, this song is called Daedalus, and the arms company is called Icarus The story of Daedalus and Icarus exists Icarus flew too close to the sun and melted their wax wings I refuse to think it's a coincidence
Also, Daedalus built a maze under the demand of King Minos of Crete to imprison the Minotaurus. Then King Mios threw him and Icarus into the maze. Daedalus made those wings to escape, but Icarus got too close to of the sun and fell.
my thoughts were literally: "oh cool a nice, relaxing missio--" [MISSION UPDATE] "goddammit" (literally 2 minutes later) OH GOD OH FUCK WHY ARE THERE 57 DIFFERENT RAILGUNS AND 800 GUNS STRAPPED TO THIS PLANE
@@dsdy1205 It requires very, VERY, liberal use of the AOA limiter though. It turns so sluggishly and it is extremely hard to actually get any of the guns on target if you're not flipping, spinning, and cartwheeling through the air... Which I suppose is what Frost was doing, throwing railgun shots "behind" her in the middle of turns, and spraying bullets and cannon-shells everywhere.
This is one of the most underrated tracks in the game and I wish it got more love. The start with the throat singing and bass sets the mysterious tone of the boss fight very well, and 1:37 means totally different things depending on which fight it plays in. At least during my playthrough, 1:37 played for me when Galaxy identified the name of the SPEAR for the first time, so it felt like a hopeful edge during that fight. During the final fight with Frost, when this played again, 1:37 played when Frost reveals the identities of Comic and Dip. It's a hopeless, somber tune in that context, as all the bounty hunters know who you are. Even if Frost dies, she's settled the score in her eyes. "It won't be just me, in the end... Mister Kennedy. Major London. The senator's son and the disgraced squadron leader." Bravo on this OST.
@@souvikrc4499 if the fed survive after what crimson 1 did to Presidia, they are screw when the world is now going against them but many mercenaries are going to hunt them down and will be difficult to have a normal life.
This one's great. Combines the piano of midnight light (being the mission before the fight), some themes that all the boss tracks share that evoke danger, and the climbing intensity of a multistage boss fight. This is one of my favorites on the soundtrack!
Kudos for picking up the leitmotifs in there. :) I'm working on a video explaining all the leitmotifs in the game and what they are attached to. Stay tuned.
Y'know, nothing quite gives the feeling of helplessness in this game than frantically dodging while also trying to get a hit in. "Monarch's the only one getting any hits in," my ass.
That one is definitly a cut above the rest of the OST..... And the others OST were already at a level worthy of praise. You have done well Jose Pavli, I honestly hope you get the recognition you deserve for theses musics because you are definitly among the best composer I heard in recent years.
In the greek mithology, Daedalus was the architect who build the Crete's labyrinth for the King Minos, plus, he was the father of Icarus. Nice little curiosity with the name of this track xD
What a crazy mixture of genres! You absolutely kicked ass throughout this whole soundtrack! If this game gets a sequel or anything added onto it... I hope you're right there with it. Congratulations on a great release!
This whole mission gave me a lot of Metal Gear vibes; Midnight Light is the “sneaking” theme while Daedalus is the “alert” theme. Also, mercenary oil rigs where war crimes get committed on.
I love that the devs took the time to add the PW-MK1 actually escaping the platform. Something else that I find even more interesting is, based off of the compass on your HUD, the PW-MK1 actually heads the way Sawaiiki would be from the place and heading it took off from.
Just in case you don’t know, Sawaiiki was a Federation state that Icarus Armories also worked out of. And that’s where the PW-MK1 was evacuated to before being moved to the Federation Core States to be completed.
Makes sense, since when you attack the Sawaiiki airship port, you can hear Crimson Team members send the PW-MK1 off in a hurry, as Monarch "followed them"
The Spear was the tutorial for the bullcrap you'll have to deal with with the PW-MK1 That freaking railgun cluster fire man. I don't know how I dodged as many shots as i did and survived.
That section from 2:28 onwards is great, I love it. I'm not musically literate but it feels hectic and tense, and I can picture the literal swarm of munitions and rail gun fire whizzing past my canopy as I'm trying desperately not to get shot down again, haha.
This battle is memorable to me from both from how much of a shock it was to encounter, and from having to genuinely outmanuver that damn thing without AoA, which I never learned at that time, and admittedly never used it until I got the mk1 out of a mix in frustration and just not liking how it feels on most jets
"Normally I'd sin them for this. But the fact that they're so self-aware about it that they went as far as including an achievement for it is worthy of respect. So ten sins coming off."

The Camera only looks at their bellies. 2:27 The Pilot of the PW turns his head and he looks at the ships. 2:30 The Ships turn out to be Battleship equipped with Dozens high tech railguns. They charge their weapons. 2:40 The Glint of the Railgun's orange light shines on the pilots visor. 2:42 Cut to the the Camera is locked back to the PW's center hull, facing the engine. The Rails unleash a shotgun blast of rounds at PW, destroying their own interceptors. The PW narrowly dodges all the shots, then flies inches from the waves and in-between the ship, dodging more rounds including CWIS guns, and missile barrages. 2:52 The PW Fires into the Camera . Cut to Black. The Railgun Fire lights up the darkness and unveils the title, followed by a terrible orange lightning storm.
