  Another interesting point about the use of the Electric Guitar for Wildfire is that its tightly linked to the relationship between Serval and Cocolia. It was an instrument that they worked on together, but as the Steleron's influence corrupter Cocolia, and made her push Serval out of her life, Serval took the instrument with her, and is still symbolized by it. This comes across as a literal story representation of how the strings represent the people, and how the Steleron's influence drives us away from that.

  I love that you don’t obnoxiously praise the music and construction of the game’s scenes the entire time. You delve pretty deep into how the music works in accompanying a specific scene and you appreciate what the scene accomplishes while being critical when necessary. You’re one of the smarter people on this platform. Keep making stuff like this, this video is fucking phenomenal

  2 years later. I have watched this so many times. It has made me relieve the moment I first heard Wildfire explode out of the sparks, and cry again over the sheer pain and power it holds.<br><br>This time I reliased the video wasn&apos;t liked, and I wasn&apos;t subscribed. I&apos;ve never regretted not doing those before. Master class.

  An extremely fun note to add to the theme of &quot;This story isn&apos;t about you, its about them&quot; btw, is that Seele and Bronya are extremely powerful OFFENSIVE units, and the form you get is a powerful Defensive unit. It&apos;s actually really cool to have the same kind of thematic in a game where characters are gacha-dependent, even if the message can be very easily lost by the nature of not having said units.<br><br>The idea of being given the will of the Preservation, and using it to protect and watch over the people who change the outcome of the fight(both in and out of gameplay) is stellar, and makes me wish for the possibility of a non-gacha title from Mihoyo. If they can do THIS with arguably one of the least inspired game archetypes to exist, what the hell can they pull off with no holds barred game?

  I just wanted to say, that as HSR keeps getting older I keep thinking back to it&apos;s beginning. Whenever I need to remember what made me love this game to start, or just want to revisit the old joys, I watch this video again. I also share it with anyone who is willing to listen to me yap about why Wildfire nearly makes me cry every time I hear it. Just wanted to say thank you for making a video I love over and over again. 😊

  You know, its funny. There&apos;s a part of me that always knew that this song was the <b>it</b> factor for me, but having not only Wildfire broken down, but coming to realize just HOW much build up and work was put into Jarilo&apos;s soundtrack just to make sure it landed with maximum effect? Yeah, I can confidently declare from the roof tops that Wildfire is the reason I&apos;m in love with this game. Hoyoverse truly, simply, does not miss.

  the other reason the song hype the moments SO MUCH, is because the in game voice line that definitely help, especially the Cocolia line saying &quot; You are but cinders of the Old World soon to become ashes! &quot;, followed by the song saying &quot; WE MADE A CHOICE GO FIGHT AGAINTS OUR FATE &quot;, with her throwing a massive meteor, shivers go through my spine the first time i experience that

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65WRf_159Ag&amp;t=1654">27:34</a> “There is a reason the crew of the Astral Express is called The Nameless. This story was never about you. It’s about them.” I think about this line a lot.
