23 - Proof of a Hero / 英雄の証 ~ Monster Hunter 10th Anniversary Orchestra / モンスターハンター狩猟音楽祭2014

When you fire an SOS flare and three Japanese dudes show up with hunting horns

Please stand up for our national anthem.

When You Hit the Dragonator on Fatalis and Hear This..... Tears to my ears

My favorite thing about Proof of a Hero is how rare you actually get to hear it in any of the monster hunter games, unlike other iconic video game theme songs where you just get to hear it all the time even when you are not doing heroic stuff or just staring at the main menu. Proof of a Hero only plays when you are tired, exhausted, desperate, hopeless and out of options on your toughest hunt that demands every last ounce of your skills as a hunter, the theme kicks in at the most important and intense moment of the hunt to give you the final boost of energy and courage to slay the monster, to proof you earned the title of a true hero. If they use it in every single hunt then this song definitely wouldn’t have the same amount of impact. It really shows the importance of restraint when it comes video game themes, just because you have an epic theme doesn’t mean you have to shove it up people’s ear all the time.

I miss talking to the pokke village chief and hear her warm grandma voice before going into a suicide quest against two plesioth😭😭😭

この曲流れた瞬間モンスターに対する恐怖心吹っ飛ぶのまじで好き

WE MADE IT IN THE OLYMPICS CEREMONY HUNTERS

いつからか手に握っていた大剣はボールペンに、 心躍らせ駆けた草原はタイル張りのオフィスに、 緊張と情熱とワクワクを向けたドラゴンは嫌悪と義務感と苛立ちを感じる上司へと変わった。 それでもこの曲を聴けばいつだって心はあの世界へと帰って行ける。 思い出したよ。 私はずっとハンターだ。

この曲には全てのハンター達の歴戦が刻まれている。

this reminds me of a dude i met online named jimmi dini. literally carted gogmazios for legit 3 hours and kept making us fail so i heard that rendition of this song so many times. imagine carting monster so badly that like 6 years later he still remembers you. (edit: 9 years now and jimmi still haunts me.)

もうこの曲お腹いっぱいとか思ってても 撃龍槍当てて流れたらめちゃくちゃテンション上がる

オリンピックの開会式で英雄の証流れてて感動した

4:12 he's been waiting for his part like a year

Armor: suboptimal. Switch Axe: dull. Don’t have enough potions, I’m wearing sunglasses and it’s dark outside. Let’s do this.

Hunters, we’ve come a long way. We’ve stayed together and fought through it all. From our first velicoprey, to our first Fatalis. Hunters, rest for now. We’ve done a good job. We will see each other again, on the day of rise.

Who is here after the Olympics 2020 ceremony? THAT WAS EPIC!

このオーケストラの中にもモンハンのガチ勢が1人くらいはいて、 自分で演奏しててテンション上がってる人いるんだろうなぁ

すべてのハンター達を支え、様々なモンスターに立ち向かわせてきた神曲。

イントロちょっと聴いただけで感極まる。心の奥深くで、ハンターだった記憶が呼び起こされるように。永遠の名曲だと思います。

ついに英雄は、オリンピックの舞台へ。
