  1. Your analysis is top-notch and even understandable for me to some degree. Would you be interested in listening to four rings from FSN Heaven's feel movie? It would be interesting to know about your reaction.

  2. I think the reason those chord progressions sound so epic is (and please correct me if I’m wrong) the progressions are a series of unresolved modulations that finally resolve long after you’d expect it to. One of the best examples is in Mozart’s Lacrimosa. It just keeps ascending and building and seems like it could go forever.

  3. So a detail for someone who did not play the game it is not a spoiler :
    during the fight you are in a round arena and sometimes she does a special atk, normaly she is super fast , but for this atk she stop at the center of the arena and u see lightning falling at farthest point from the center all around u so your only option is to go near her and she Literally stops the time to give 1000 cuts on your character basically killing you if unprepared.
    when that happened to me was exactly when the music did a quick silence (like 12:52 ) man that was epic

  4. Could you possibly review a few honkai songs? Moon halo, befall, nightglow fallen rosemary, elysian realm, mobius, all of them I think are incredible and I would love to see you discuss them

  5. Man your reviews are really good! If you do a next Genshin impact ost video, I would really recommend Tartaglia’s battle theme.
    Also your bass solos just fits the songs way too well.

  6. ngl childe, signora and azdahas theme have more impact and uniqueness than raidens because most of raidens theme is we already heard in inazuma in the story quest or character stuff.

  7. I am having a bad flu today, throat ache and I can't even smile. But this video change my day and make me feels better. 😅

    Anyway being a music producer is so so SOOO cool.

  8. I would like for him to hear "The last song" from Drakengard 3. It hits you with tons of random emotions (especially for me) if he sees this and does do it, it would be amazing 🙂

  9. Yet another great video Alex! Genshin soundtracks never fails to deliver. Btw, If you have the chance, can you kindly check out VIVY? its an underrated and under watched anime that has Nier Automate vibes, love to see your thoughts on that masterpiece 🙏😊

  10. I adore your videos on these OSTs. Your energy, analysis, interpretations, additions and even recommendations of relating music to the track you're reacting to is so refreshing. It makes me appreciate the music more, and definitely has opened a new interest in admiring the little details in any game bgm I come across.
    Keep up the good work ♥️

  11. Thank you for this amazing video, I enjoy it so much!
    Also, I don't know how far you are in the game so I don't know whether you've heard it or not, but I'm curious to hear your opinion about Tartaglia's battle theme
    Edit: I'm also wondering whether you've heard Genshin Impact Concert, it's an amazing concert

  12. Awesome analysis as always, you are a incredible musician, love your comments and faces!! You should give a try to minor Genshin songs, like "Lone Sojourner". Despite being short I think it's so suitable to the place where it's played. Less than a minute I think, but so emotional, so lonely and awesome.
    This game has other short songs like this, throughout the map, and these are definitely my favorites!!!!!

  13. Hey Alex, amazing video as always. Just wanted to drop a few words since I've been watching your channel for a bit now, and I love every single video! Genshin music is incredible, I'm looking to start playing the game just for the music if I'm honest. I was also wondering, will you react to more Hollow Knight pieces? I love the game and I think it has some of the best music out there. Much love.
