favorite UNBEATABLE quote?
Oooh this is a really good question!! Thank you so so much for asking!! I'm a big fan of Beat's "The shit I do is the shit I am" it's a very just real and hard hitting quote for me that I never thought anything of on my first run but on my second run I loved it, haven't heard anyone else talking about this one but for some reason this one sticks with me
But also this game has so many good quotes all throughout and as much as I love that one another one that stands out to me is Treble's talk about "painting with the dirt" in reference to the band's music in Episode 4 it's a very important message, making sure your work has you inside it is so important and it's written very well
And also I absolutely cannot leave out the "I am 7 years different, 7 years better" quote from Beat, I would say this is probably the most iconic quote from the game and rightfully so!!! The scene it came from is so so good and important to Beat's character but even taking it away from it's original context it just works so well on its own too!
I'm curious as to what your favorite/favorites are now though!!
yesss omg!!! not a SINGLE bad take here. I do agree that “the shit I do IS the shit I am” is pretty damn underrated, but there are just SO MANY quotes from this game, it’s unreal. I CONSTANTLY reference “painting with dirt” to mean “letting your human imperfections shine through in your art.”
My SECOND favorite quote from the game is probably Sforzando’s “Music IS feeling. ART is feeling.” Because that’s what really led me to analyze UNBEATABLE (and so many other things) as pieces of art rather than media to consume.
This isn’t really A quote, but the entire concept of the silence is so compelling and it’s such a great way to explain certain emotions.
Another favorite of mine is “This isn’t a love song… not how you’d think, anyway.” Because that helped me reach a deeper level of understanding about UNBEATABLE’s story.
But my ALL-TIME favorite has to be “Some people just take up more space. I always wanted to be one of those people.” It reached me personally, and my brain hasn’t been the same since. As for quotes from the songs, I think I’ll let you start on that one. Don’t want this post to be longer than the bible, yknow?
All of your picks are great as well!!!! No bad takes from you either!! <3 Beat in Episode 6 just has a bunch of incredible quotes but also overall the amount of amazing quotes in this game is crazy, I love this game so much
Sforzando actually does have quite a lot of surprisingly good quotes. I hate her on a character level for obvious reasons but holy shit she's written so well and the quote you mentioned is a very good one
The concept of the silence is just so fucking cool I genuinely love all the meaning the silence have to them it's just wow I'll try not to go too much into it because that probably deserves its own post but wow the fact the concept of the silence can be taken metaphorically or literally is just so so so well written, one thing about them that I do need to say though is that the idea of the enemy being as strong as you feel they are is such a cool metaphor and also when it gets applied to Beat it becomes a matter of "You are who you feel you are" and that on it's own is just such a cool idea I love the silence so much (Also the name silence is incredible genius writing)
I feel like I could go on for awhile with song lyric quotes and I don't want to sound annoying or force you to respond to the longest imaginable reblog so I'll try and compress this down into just some top picks
First up I have to say Future People is my favourite song in UNBEATABLE and there's a bunch of good quotes in that one, "A stupid dream I have every single day but it's okay it'll fade. BUT YOU KNOW THAT'S ANOTHER LIE" is the main one sticking out to me currently as it has been my status on Discord for awhile now and I do not see myself changing it, Future People in general is such a good song I love listening to it and its lyrics are beautiful, again I don't want to make this post huge so I won't get too into the song but those lyrics I mentioned feel like such a positive turn around and they just hit me personally I don't even know how to fully explain why (Also Rachel Lake has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard in my entire life and I cannot read any song quotes from her without singing them)
Bookend Song. Just Bookend Song. That beautiful fucking song. I have described that song before as just "emotion" because I think that is the only word that gets across everything Bookend Song is. To name some lyrics there's "But maybe that's why life's worth living" which on its own makes me love Brain Poison so much and I love the concept of Beat and Quaver taking Eve's relatively depressing song and making a beautiful positive optimistic turn on it. I also am obligated to mention "You're just a part of my life and I won't get rid of you" that one word change from Quaver is just incredible and is constantly stuck in my head
And speaking of Eve I also want to mention Forgetter and especially "I'm too wise to forget you'll forget me but you don't know that you will, not your fault no but it's still gonna happen to me" not only is the vocal performance on that absolutely beautiful (Rebecca LaChance has an incredible voice oh my god) but also those words just sum up Eve beautifully and again just feel very real? Idk if that's a good way of describing it but I don't know how else to do so
Thank you again for taking the time to talk about all this with me btw!!! I really appreciate getting the opportunity to talk about all this!
