I don't usually comment, but now I have to. There has never been a movie, series or theater play that has made me feel as much as The Last of Us. After playing through everything, I was exhausted and empty, but for some reason I love it. Human. Now I'm trying to find out everything about those who participated in this masterpiece. I watched both documentaries about the game and the series and it dug itself into my heart even more. I know I'm being sentimental and all, but I just have to get this out, I'm saying my honest feelings. I'd love to hug every Naughty Dog person who contributed anything to the games. I also really like Neil and his personality and how honest he is. I almost screamed when they played together. I love their chemistry. Soundtrack, and how important it is. The game got me back into playing guitar, and now I've learned the entire soundtrack for both games. The main theme of the first part was played on the ronroco, and the second on the banjo. Maybe if there is a next chapter, the weissenborn will get it? I'm sooo excited. I hope this whole Chechat gets to more people because it was really cool.

The emotion in this final video is impossible to explain. Bless you both. Thank you for making me cry. Thank you for helping me meet pieces of myself that deserve love and healing. Thank you for your courage to share what you love. It's an absolute honour to get to interact with your art. I love you both <3

The music from The Last of Us is special ... it becomes extra special the moment the game fades to black and The Path (A New Beginning) plays. All the emotion from the experience and the linkage between the music and the characters is so strong, it just stays with you. It is sublime from the first play-through to the 100th+.

"This is a life memory right here."

You said it, Neil. It felt like a life memory just watching. This was wonderful, beautiful.

As much as I enjoyed the new Grounded II documentary, it felt too focused on being a love letter/apology to the studio employees and an anti-crunch PSA. For example: It never once mentioned Gustavo. It barely touched on story decisions, characters, gameplay mechanics, etc. in the holistic way the first Grounded did.

I know a lot of that stuff was captured in the Official Podcast and interviews elsewhere. This interview a great sharing of a piece of the heart and soul of the development. I love discussing The Last of Us and just want more behind-the-scenes goodness!

Now Neil needs to teach Gustavo how to play the game

[anishadj]

Two legends taking in a conversation 🥲

[ItszRise]

Whenever Gustavo picks up an instrument and plays anything related to the last of us, I instantly get a cheeser grin on my face. It’s amazing how much he’s influenced my lifr

[alexandresendra]

Man seeing Gustavo and Neil playing TLOU theme together is awesome

[NSoupFog]

The theme from The last of us, always gives me goosebumps, thanks!

[MarianaGonzalez-nykr]

Hola un gusto poder decirle que es hermoso lo que transmite y lo que produce tantas notas y que tan delicadamente hace llegar a cada parte de mi sentir....❤

[artesaniasdigitales]

que hermoso recorrido que fue esta charla, muy intima pero a la vez super colectiva... dejan un montón de data para aprovechar... Gracias por compartirlo!

[jackainsleybrincat]

Watching Gustavo is so mesmerising. The talent that comes out of his fingers and brain is beyond, what a genius 🙌🏻

[Old-dog-jams]

I found Mr Santaolalla through the short video Animation called Borrowed time . I had to look to find who played the guitar and made the soundtrack. So good.

[BrunoO]

“Una mas que esta buenísimo” man i felt that

[Sturzfaktor]

I discovered "The Last of Us" when the HBO series aired last year and then played both games. And I still keep listening to the incredible soundtrack. The emotions evoked by the game are so interconnected with the corresponding pieces of the soundtrack. It's great to see the passion you, the creators, have for your art. 😌

[brandontellis]

After this they went into the studio to record some tracks for part 3

[JaviManza]

Gustavo/Neil, thanks for creating such an amazing game/music. This will be forever. For me, with no doubt, the best game and the best song ever made for a videogame. Thank you so much

[amer_bosnjak]

Couldn't stop smiling when you guys played together. What a beautiful collaboration you two have have had so far. Thanks for cheering me up!

[dominicfrancia]

"Allowed to Be Happy" is my favorite score from The Last of Us Part II. It's just connected with me in the most personal level.

[martintweets]

"The Choice", one of the best songs ever recorded for a video game. Gracias Gustavo, te quiero mucho. Saludos desde Neuquén, Argentina.
