To those who have it, how is Mysterious Song?

Gameplay/Sound/Music/Controls, that sort of thing. I ordered a copy a few months ago but it is at my parents' house.

Are there any videos of the gameplay out there?

So far so good. Just got mine this afternoon! I can't believe I am holding a Turbo game that came out in 2012!

Gameplay - it's traditional RPG fare (expect grinding) with some silly humor mixed in; the only bad thing is that the main game is a bit on the short side (as was the original), but fortunately the EX game, optional dungeons, and unlockable goodies give it plenty of replay value.
Sound - the sound effects are okay and what one usually finds in such games (it's not a shewty, so don't expect lots of grand explosions and blazing lazers)
Music - the music is pretty damn good - maybe not as good as the stuff in Ys, but what is?
Controls - ..... it's an RPG.  Ya tell Spear to go left, he goes left.

I've wanted to record some gameplay because I'm really enjoying it, but I don't want to give anything away.

Ah, good, I'm glad you like the music!  Sometimes I wish I had gone in & completely recomposed everything from scratch, instead of remxing it/mashing it up.  Though, that probably means I would have had alot less done on Jungle Bros., Valkyrie Midnight, etc.  If people like the music, then I've accomplished my mission(well, me & Odonadon who thankfully was able to fill in & make a nice new title screen theme!).

I need to get a CD system........uuggghhhhh!!!

Mission Accomplished!  The only thing that I don't like is the switching between tracks for battles, but that's a pretty minor quibble shared with plenty of commercial titles and has nothing to do with the quality of the tunes themselves anyway.

I was very impressed by the music, the first time I got to play Mysterious Song. There are many memorable tracks and some effective ambient stuff, but what really made the game for me is the killer battle and boss music. Most RPGs just have satisfactory battle bgms. But great and ill-suited battle bgms turn RPGs into either fun or annoying games. It is hard for me to play Lufia or Dragon Slayer II PCE because of the goofy/annoying battle bgms. But Benkei Gaiden and Dragon Slayer I PCE are very addictive, thanks to the perfectly suited catchy battle bgms. Mysterious Song isn't in the satisfactory group, it is more fun to play its battles (75+% of an RPG's gametime) than the average professionally developed RPG.

the only bad thing is that the main game is a bit on the short side (as was the original),

This is actually a positive to me. I love RPGs, but don't have time to play them. I love 15 hourish RPGs.

[BigusSchmuck]

Its not a bad game at all, quite enjoyable and great tunes. My only complaint are the loading times between going into battle and finishing the fight. Now to see a arcade card enhanced version, that would be pretty cool.

[Joe Redifer]

It's pretty good, though very standard fare.  But that's OK as I like that.  I'd rather have a good game without gimmicks than something that tries something new and fails. The prices in the shops seem pretty high, though. Also I can only play for about 20 minutes at a time as this game is EXTREMELY stressful on the CD-ROM mechanics.  Everything loads.  It's like a CD System 2.0 game with only 64k of memory, very similar to Cosmic Fantasy 2 in the amount of loads.  It needs to load every battle, every town, everything.  And it does this A LOT.  I am actually surprised that Super CD is required.  But as a result my CD drive will eventually "forget" to load until I nudge it.  After a few times of that, I just turn it off.  After it has cooled down it is fine again.  This happens occasionally on other games, too.  Always has since day one.  But Mysterious Song really brings this issue out like no other game.

EDIT:  I think incorporating PSG music would have been much less stressful on the system.
