This song is perfection. It conveys such feeling. Even if I had never played the game, I could tell what Will's personality is like, just from his theme.
I didn't like this game as much as the previous ones, especially dual strike, but the themes and new graphics made it worthwhile. I really hope another Advance Wars is created. I love this game series :)
Especially will's theme, its amazing compared to a lot of the old ones.
Advance Wars has always been that awesome series that's been only known by the ones who play it. Most of the other gamers will never know the awesomeness this is Advance Wars. I hope I see a new one for the 3DS--we're already getting Fire Emblem and Paper Mario (two other awesome series) from Intelligent Systems, so let's hope for a new Advance Wars.
@AleXusher92 Yeah its amazing.. The story is so much better that the story from AW 1 AW2 & AWDS. And the gameplay. And the co. Ok nearly everything. xD (Dont think i didnt like these three games, i LOVE them)
@Chokoboh Have to say, I'd rank AWDS, DoC , 2 then 1. DS just had so much variety on it, with more of whatever it is which really distinguishes AW. DoC has a much darker theme, slightly more realistic settings/units, it has matured with it's audience, considering we're the only ones to know about it at all. =P
@AleXusher92 Yea definitely wish they could come out with another for this series but I dunno what else they could do since the world got saved and what not
One of my favourite missions in Dark Conflict/Days of Ruin. I think right at the beginning you had no CO, and things didn't look good. Then this guy comes along mid-way, with his tanks and awesome music. Oh the enemy are screwed now...
You know, in the UK version (Dark Conflict) He's called Ed, and his theme is "Hope Never Dies"... man, did that get confusing when typing that into youtube for the first time... why did they have to change all the names and song titles? :3
Hmmm... just something about Will... like... people call him generic sometimes or whatever, but... I don't think there's really any other well-known characters with SUCH a focus on determination as him... like, his character is just meant to play extremely hard on NEVER giving up, no matter WHAT the odds... he just has this feeling of an unbreakable drive... and THAT is pretty original in my opinion, even if it is simple... his music is a GREAT reflection on that mentality as well...
@Christhew0o0t0707 Actually funny thing about that. Most of these wallpapers are actually pretty cool but this one is technically inaccurate with Will's rank.
In the game it clearly states that Will holds the rank of Officer Cadet - a special rank given only to officers in training. Had he completed his training, he would have been commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant - one rank below Lin - But for obvious reasons this never happened, so he remained an Officer Cadet.
The best part about the game are the CO's. They all look and act like they can take on an entire army. Hell, one of them willingly got nuked, stood there, and took it like a man.
Will walking solmenly on the battlefield. Bullets are whizzing past his head and the soldiers are scared and in despair. Then when the music builds they look at him and the look of defieance is emblazzed in his eyes. He holds up the torn flags of Lazuaria and Rubinelle in his hand and shouts out, "WHERE THERE IS LIFE, THERE IS HOPE!!!" The soldiers, inspired by his act of courage and strength, rally together and charge back into the fray with Will close behind. Epicness.
@o0OmegaZero0o No worries. It's always nice when people take the time to read what I put down. I write stuff like that every once and while when the muse descends. Of course, listening to epic music like this is one such occasion!
andy was just an annoying kid who couldnt understand shit. will on the other hand fought hard, learned the tragadies of war, and has GREAT music. oh and he doesnt look like a faggot 10 year old ^.^
Brenner's hope is still alive in Will's heart. Let see if Tabitha can break that unwavering determination in the sequel. Fight for a brighter tomorrow, Will!
I loved all the AW games i've played. I think this one was the best. Because of this game, it made it a lot easier to get into Warmachine. which is like taking Advance War 2 and add combo elements from Magic The Gathering.
The AW series will ALWAYS have a place in my heart.
God I LOVED this game death. One of my favorite tactical RPGs. I always chose Will because of this music...best battle song in the game. I ended up trading this game into Gamestop, though, because I accidentally saved over my file; I was at that IMPOSSIBLE battle with Tabitha...I swear I tried to beat that fight 100 times and failed miserably. =/
i love how in the previous advance wars games, it was all fun and games, faction vs faction, and when it gets to this game, its all post apoctolyptic basicly , then will just starts kicking major ass and looking amazing while doing so, it gives the story a lot of meaning... *wants more* ^_^
@RaustBD They took that last part out for good reason, though, and I thank them for it. It would have made it a tad too cheesy for the type of aura they were trying to go for *and yes, I know the whole cloning thing is silly for having a serious "dark" game, but comming LOL JAPAN :p*
It's a great feeling when Will bursts in on the scene, defying soul crushing depression and several laws of nature, chance, and possibly physics, to override the No-CO theme and wipe the floor with an enemy Wartank's scrap.
@name013 We need more protagonists like Will with an undying attachment to hope. So many protagonists in Japanese games now-a-days that are so fucking emo and depressed for no reason. Can't stand that shit.
@name013 I still remember the thoughts I had when I saw the initial battle set-up of Final Experiment. First I thought: FINALLY A HARD BATTLE, NO ROFLOL STOMPING THE AI ANYMORE. And then he shows up: with an army twice the size of Tabitha's army, bummer ...
They seriously need to drastically increase the difficulty of story mode in the next Advance Wars game.
I didn't think so at first, for several months, but now I realise the pure beauty of it. Life is returning to a decayed carcass with every passing note as the destroyed is restored. It compliments Will's character perfectly, and drives home the spirit of hope.
Though I prefer the European name for the song, "Hope Never Dies". But the American name also has a lot of meaning.
nice theme to listen to. Especially in that final battle when the nest and all those troops gang up on you, forcing me to bomb the nest like there's no tomorrow before I completely lose the next turn. Talk about intense.
This song is perfection. It conveys such feeling. Even if I had never played the game, I could tell what Will's personality is like, just from his theme.
