    This song... made me feel like the observtory was the safest and most peaceful place in that sad world

    • @dianaaya_

      @SweetChick10101 I actually find the observatory really soothing, a place to sit, relax and stargaze when night comes, for me, it's pretty far from being creepy and unsettling, really like it's the only safe place in the game

      @Ilyb.444 2 роки тому +8

      @SweetChick10101 i think its meant to be like that since its where the bomber kids call home who are presumably without their parents seeing as they wander the streets all day and night.

      i listen to this song on bad nights. takes me right back to being a kid in front of a shitty CRT television with the purple and blue lights shining in my eyes.
      life wasn’t perfect then either but it felt that way in the observatory.

    Why did Koji Kondo go so hard for a song that you only hear once in a single game for a couple of minutes? That's a flex.

      It sounds so simple at first, but then you realise that he’s using extremely specific chords which really show off his abilities as a composer.

    • @rosePetrichor
      @rosePetrichor 2 роки тому +67

      sure, you only *need* to go there once, but as kids, when we had no idea where to go next and also much less experience with games and their constructed realities, we played them differently; exploring, adventuring, treating the game's world much more like a real world. Conversely, the sense of fear and trepidation was also that much more real. The Observatory is a truly unique place in Termina in every aspect, and the music adds to that otherworldly, safe yet mysterious feeling that drew me back there again and again as a kid, a haven of beautiful kaleidoscopic colour and soothing music in a world that created a sense of creepy, depressing foreboding that sticks with me even today. Also I spent way too long looking through the telescope trying to find secrets lol

A strange sensation. Like the one you have when ninjas cut onions under your eyes. I cried and laugh at the same time. Well done sir, that's the stuff.
