I really like what they did with Noontide. This is the kind of thing I want from a Strive Sol vs. Ky song.
Melody
Basically the same.
Evolution
FANTASTIC idea to have the perspective shift from Sol to Ky. I love it. The song itself could still evolve more but I love the lyrical evolution.
Emotion
Gains a decent amount from the lyrics.
Bangerness
Same as the original.
Characterization
A few certain lyrics take it down some points.
Lyrics
I really like them. It beings in a mostly accurate view of both Sol and Ky from each other's perspectives from this time. Excellent way to show their rivalry. It reminds me of Xrd's After Story A in a way.
B.O.F. Bonus
