I think that Willy would gloat and make some speech about "putting terrorist and murderer to justice" after all these years
nope

>>
The end of the trilogy mimics the start
Think back to the first sung line of the trilogy
"The crowd has feathered there to watch him fall, to watch their hopes destroyed"
Matches Light getting strung up, and would finally be a decent callback to act 1 since they seem to be embarrassed by it for some reason.

The last track ends too abruptly to be the end of the album. There has to be more.

Or Light stabbed him with Jombo's fake knife, Wily overreacted and pushed him off his tower, then Wily got executed for manslaughter while Rock was throwing a rock at him.
>>
>>727630667
I'm sorry Albert didn't have a phase 2 where he turned into an alien and Rock returned to shoot him with bubbles.
>>
>>727630649
Again, it would be stupid if his attack was purely just a suicide to make a point to the city. He likely did something that he couldn't have done unless he went in recklessly and the knife attack was a distraction from what he actually did. It's a premise for a song also, like Willy's ghost speaking to his son about his last stand he left behind. You have to remember, Willy controls the whole city and it will take enormous effort for them to take it back.

>>
>>727630454
It's also possible he actually killed Wily but Wilys system and his robots just keep doing what Wily programmed them to do anyway, which includes executing Light, and so Act IV is Megaman and Roll rallying the city to destroy the system and robots Wily left in place and finally fight to get back the freedom they gave up in the first place.

Light never tried because he knew he would fail, for he is just a man. He tried, knowing he would fail, in the Hope that it would show Megaman that there is Hope in Man that would try despite the odds, and that Hope should not have to Ride Alone.

>>727631091
I always thought it might be either the robots act autonomously or wily downloads himself into a master computer or something to continue commanding them which is why he sounds more adn more synthetic through the album

I can think of 3 outcomes.
>Wily outplays Thomas one last time
>Thomas drops the knife at the last moment and lets himself be arrested, for some reason
>Wily dies, but the machine he built doesn't even notice
The last seems the most believable. It feels like Wily knew he was going to die, but that it didn't matter at that point.
>>
You guys hanging on?
>>
>>727631653
I would eat shit on camera if a megaman game set to protomen tracks ever comes out one day. That is how unlikely I know it is. He came there to get a pat on the back and a gift bag and went back to Nashville.

>>727631603
The physical CD comes with physical/digital copies of the notes. I don't know why the digital album doesn't but someone's going to upload it anyway so it doesn't matter that much.

>>727631821
Wily's lines definitely suggest that he doesn't care if Light kills him. He even somewhat mockingly asks "What would you have me do?" because he knows that it doesn't matter what he does, no one's stopping this machine

Willy mentions that >but the engine makes howling sound
I think it means that he gives his machines more autonomy so he doesn't have to micromanage squishing the rebelion like in RTS but at the same time it means loss of control

>>727630428
She’s just very one note. Her character is rather boring as well, as she does is tell light and rock to fight and then disappears from the story.

Rock is also extremely underutilized in the album. Honestly this album kinda sucked. All the songs are overproduced and the story is very choppy. I wanted more first half of act 2, instead I got Light Up the night being played simultaneously with the hounds over and over. Shit is borderline incomprehensible

I've been thinking about the ending of The Good Doctor Part 2. At first I thought the crescendo after the music box was Light stabbing Wily, or them both stabbing each other, but now I wonder if it's the moment where Wily reveals the truth to Light, showing that even if he kills Wily, it won't matter in the slightest

What's the significance of the music box? Why does Wily have it?

>>727630448
yeah I'd get it if the track abruptly stopped with the little floor thing but the audio not bothering to die down feels like it's leading into another track, even if it's just wind initially
>>
>>727632085
I think No Way Back is the best song of Act 3 because it's one of the few where you can actually hear the lyrics and it's formatted like a real song instead of a theatre play.
>>
so the reason why act 3 is mostly act 2 callbacks is because act 4 exists and will call back to act 1?
>>
>>727632430
Isn't it the one from Act 2 when the rowboat killed Emily, a keepsake?
>>
>>727632430
It's the gift Light gave to Emily before Wily killed her. it plays at the start of Father of Death.

Wily stole it when he had the robot kill Emily. I guess it shows that there was still something human in Wily, hidden deep down. He did want Emily, that's why he even tried to take her away before killing her, and perhaps he kept the music box out of sentimentality

I like to think that Willy just pulled it out after Light begged him to turn of the robots and winded it up.
He wanted to listen to it while dying and he showed that music will play even if he's gone.
also from no way back
>I know who you are and I've seen what you've done from up in your tower
I thought that Willy was building some kind of auto-destruction mechanism for the city.
But now I think that Willy made killing him pointless by securing that robots will continue.

no I think that he was wrecked with the guilt and >I was supposed to die because of this (remember light's trial) AND NO ONE ELSE
it's both suicide out of the guilt and doing what he was supposed to be doing
trying to fix what he has done without throwing others in the harms way
>>
>>727633392
I think it's more that Light accepts he is responsible for everything just as much as Wily is and rather than relying on others, his creations/sons to solve what happened, he needed to take matters into his own hands since ultimately, it's his battle to fight and he should've accepted that it may cost his life to do it a long time ago, since that's still better than living as a coward.

It's not really much of a conspiracy when the band themselves are kind of hinting that it isn't over despite their statement about Act III being the end, for all we know the Megaman part will be a B-side or something.
>>
Alright here's a question, so how/where do the narrative pieces and covers in The Cover Up fit in? Is it between Act 2 and 3? Are Gambler's spoken parts belong to Roll? The covers themselves seem to be thematic to whatever story the album is trying to tell as well.

>>727635684
Death Stranding 3 will be Act 3, I believe
>>
>>727630373
Wily and light both uploaded their brains to a robot so even if light kills willy with a knife or willy hangs light its not over

My favorite part about Wily in this story was that he was supposed to die crushed from falling debris, just like the first fake out death in Mega Man 3. Then, the fake-out villains from the classic games take over for the next few chapters (Cossack, Proto Man, Mr. X).

Going off of the album insert, I'm pretty sure The Cover Up is the in-universe soundtrack to a lost film that was based on Act II's events. Specifically Emily's murder and the "cover up" of what really happened.

I think the narrative pieces are surviving audio excerpts from the film itself, and that the characters you hear are fictionalized versions of Dr. Light and Dr. Wily. I'm also guessing that the robot and the woman on the album's artwork are the film's equivalent to to Wily's Monster and Emily. So the movie probably wasn't a literal, biographical film where they say Dr. Albert Wily killed Emily Stanton in the year 199X, but it was still close enough to the truth for him to shut it down and disappear everyone who worked on it.

I think the reason Light's Last Stand is a standout (heh) to me is because it's so fucking cathartic to hear Light actually having the confidence to fight back after all this time. He spends so much of Act 1, Act 2, and even the first half of this album grieving and moping (for very good reasons, to be fair) that hearing him talk about proudly walking towards his death really hits hard.

The first half sucks dick but they managed to pick it up for the second half.
It's deffo the weakest of the three like others have said, I think the long production cycle makes it feel a lot more disconnected compared to the first two which flow incredibly well, both as individual albums and into each other.

That's probably going to be a thing, not the Zero thing, but Rock convincing Protoman to help, because now mankind stands for itself.

Also, Wiley definitely made the system so it works without him. Listen to his voice on Good Doctor 2, it's robotic, Wiley may not even be alive anymore.

In terms of the story, presentation, and aesthetics. The MMX series were an edgier and slightly more mature take on the classic Mega Man plots, which mostly glossed over the issues that arise when you have a bunch of robots rising up and causing chaos. MMZ took that further. But neither of them went as far as going so edgy and serious as to be ridiculous like Bomberman Zero did.

She's not that bad but the sound engineering and production is terrible. It's like they dont eq properly for her

Biggest oof moment of the acts was not making Joe, protoman
>>
>>727644326
It doesn't even seem like they tour anymore

>>727631763
I think Protoman was built in Joe's image and Megaman in Light's
(there should be an incomplete Roll built in Emily's image)
>>
>>727642994
I've enjoyed Hold Back the Night since it first dropped. Out of the new stuff, No Way Back, Hold On, and Light's Last Stand have been pretty enjoyable. I've never really cared for the teaser instrumentals, but the Fate of Light actually does hit hard, even if the rest don't.

The "ending" is underwhelming as hell, it's extremely vague whether it's really the final track of the album or just the final track they're uploading for the preorder period

Because the "Act 3" that was thought up in the early 2010s has very little in common with the final album.
I'm 100% sure the timeline went like this
>Act 2 releases
>Protomen unsure exactly what to do with Act 3
>First version involves Roll getting Mega Man to come back and save the city
>Light is obviously intended to have died at the end of Act 1
>A few songs get made but not a concrete album
>Years pass
>Band starts moving towards 80s nostalgia cover albums
>Fan feedback shows that their most popular songs are the rock opera ballads like Light up the Night
>Protomen take this feedback and general shift of their tastes into account
>Act 3 moves away from Mega Man and becomes about the now alive Light so they can have the Act 2 sound that made them famous
>Now The Fight and probably other unreleased songs no longer fit the story and were dropped or re-written to be about Light
>>
>>727648841
Finally the Protomen Cinematic Universe we've been waiting for
>>
>>727648860
The Fight is their most recent pre-act 3 song though, it's only 2 years old unlike the other two that were over a decade old.
