Also, his version of Termination from Ys Origin is goosebump city for me!
This sounds alright on its own but it sounds absolutely nothing like Termination until a good 3 minutes into it (long after I've already handed Darm his ass)... might as well have just given it a different name, imo...


^^^ this one sounds way more like it...


^^^ I cringe hardcore at this abomination of Holders Of Power.

I love this track as well, probably my favorite from the game.  I agree with Rove that it takes a long time to build but what a payoff.

Yeah, for me, it's goosebumps for days, the violin & guitar, love it!

This actually sounds faithful to the PC-88 version, unlike the PC Engine CD arrange. Ys I&II Complete is almost the best way to hear those games, though Ys Book I&II is also quite interesting in some ways.

Best track: all of them.
Worst track: any track from an OST not named Ys

Seriously, you're talking about one of, if not the most epic video game soundtracks of all time and asking us to pick a worst track?  There is no worst track.  Whichever track is the shortest is the "worst" track, because it's finished the soonest, lol   XD

Oh come on dude. No one loves Ys 1&2 and it's soundtracks more than me.  [-X
No one!  :lol:

I guess I shouldn't have said "worst."  :-k
I should have said "least favorite"  :wink:

This is being done for research on project I have had on the back burner for a few years.
It's time to bring it back...  :dance:

One thing they really messed up in Ys book 1 & 2, was making a few tracks in the game entirely to long for such a short section of the game.  On the flip side other areas you'll end up hearing the same track repeat until it's burned into your brain when you sleep. Not saying that's a bad thing, and I would be delighted to hear town music in my dreams.  Darm Tower on the other hand, maybe not so much.

Just sayin'   8)

Now it's time to buy yet another Ys soundtrack that I just learned about... f*ck me.  :lol:

favorite?  probably To Make The End Of Battle.  that music is so sick... honorable mention to Shadow Of The Tower Of Death, Last Moment Of The Dark, and Rest In Peace, though.

So good...



least fav?  ehh... maybe Devil Wind?  it's got a pretty short loop in the PCE version that they expanded in the remakes.  the guy that remade Yuzo's soundtrack could have done more with it in the PCE version, i guess.

Devil Wind?   That's hardly a song, and it's a chip tune.  :lol:
You just hear it in that one evil hall in Darm Tower....

Pick a different song. lol
Err.. Whatever...

YOU GOT SOMETHIN' AGAINST CHIPTUNES, THERE, BUDDY???  HUH?  DO YA?!

Lol, jk... yea Devil Wind is a pretty short loop.  Like I said, they made it into a full song in at least one of the more recent remakes.  So is PSG music not eligible for your little survey, then?  Cause, Fountain of Love and Rest In Peace are both pretty awesome, imo

I talked to Hazey-boy on Facebook about this already but I'll post it here too. Least favorite tracks are probably the main Field theme and Darm Tower just due to the sheer repetitiveness of hearing them over and over. I'm not up on the actual song titles but for my favorite for me nothing beats the Mines track in Ys 1 on PCE CD. I've heard the PC-88, Complete, and Chronicles versions and not one of them matches the arrangements done by the madmen at Hudson and their remixed Redbook. Every time I hear that track it takes me to a warm, party cloudy Spring evening with maybe a storm on the horizon. A lot of Turbo/PCE music does this to me, but Ys has a special power over me matched only by titans such as Dungeon Explorer.

My faves are probably Tower of the Shadow of Death and Noble District of Toal.  I also like the short and jaunty shop tune.

Ah this reminded me of the short but sweet Fortune Teller's tune that uses the PCE's chiptunes. I love the instrumentation and have noticed similar sounding instruments in Military Madness/Nectaris. I wonder if the same person at Hudson worked on both?

Speaking of the shop tune, I love this rendition, gives me the goosebumps & makes me smile!
