Sorry for your loss my condolences friend but when you play this game or hear this song you will think of her keep her in your heart ❤️ good luck with your life man
I've played tons of games, and I agree. This opening set of scenes with this song hits so hard and really sets the tone of the story/stories being really sad almost instantly. Best Opening ever.
21 years later, and it still hits just as hard, if not harder than ever. This is easily one of the greatest and emotionally driven openings of all time. Konami didn't have to go that hard , y'know? But they did... For us.
This brings out so many memories, tears come flowing out. The most emotional Suikoden Opening Theme. Those who said a man cannot cry, hear this and see how you can resist to cry.
I may not cry, I've cried a bit too much in my life really, but I won't deny I do get sad and feel my heartstrings getting pulled on pretty dang hard even after listening to it over a hundred times.
With Eiyuden Chronicles (a spiritual sequel to the series, by the original creator of Suikoden) coming out soon, I’ve decided to play the games through again, and have realised how much I love them all over again. You’re right though… the whole series feels like watching a beloved anime, with so much love and effort put into them. Here’s to hoping EC does so well that it kicks off a whole new franchise with just as much love put into it by fans and creators alike!
@@BYERE Hello, I am a kickstarter backer for Hundred Heroes and am playing the closed beta playtest right now Steam. I can confirm the game is amazing!
This opening definitely left an impact on me. Over 20 years later and here I am. Still as amazing as ever. Just something about this tone, art direction, music. It all blends together to make something truly special.
This Game for me is Legendary, i played it Back when i was in my Elementary Days , i Love the Story , the Characters, Everything, i Even Bought the Manga , Suikoden III is an Underrated Gem and Should Have a Remake or a Remaster or Atleast its should really really have its own Anime Series , it would be Great Watching it In a Ongoing Weekly Anime Series Basis...
For years, I've wondered what style of music this OP is inspired by. Bulgarian folklore. Life changing. Wow. I'm so happy to have figured it out. Wish this game and song were better known and appreciated so a musician could have told me that a decade ago.
a cool thing about the song is that the lyrics are actually just random made up words. even if it's not a language it sounds like it could be one and makes you feel emotions.
This opening got me into anime and rpg games. Suikoden III will always have a place in my heart. As a child, and as an adult now, I will never forget how special this game is. The characters, the storyline, the setting, everytbing about this game is gold.
2:57 one of the most hyped up characters in the entire game and you can't even play as him. He resembles the main character in previous games. And he is one of the best looking character designs in this game.
If they were going to continue the series, we hope that he will be the main character and the plot revolves around in his timeline. But knowing konami, it will be just a dream 😢
I think that the interesting part about this game, most games you name that character as a playable protagonist but in this you name a hero who a legend of the past. If he was alive then he would been a Tenkai star and not Thomas, but that does not mean I don't like Thomas as Tenkai, in fact I like that idea, it show that not every Tenkai characters has to be a protagonist.
This game was my introduction to the Suikoden series. I loved this game so much that I went and found used copies of the first two games. Then I got 4 and 5 when they were released. While I didn't love 4 and 5 as much, they still kept me involved enough to complete them. I never got around to completing Tactics, unfortunately. Maybe one day, if I can ever get my hands on a copy again.
I'm listening to this with good headphones and wow even the audio sounds very high quality. Good job on upscaling not just the video but improving the audio as well.
I don't know what it is, but suikoden 1-3 will always hold a special place in me. These games were so amazing in every aspect... especially character development and likeness.
I wish I could like 3 but they changed so much and aside from this amazing opening the music in 3 was nothing compared with Miki Higashino's work in the first game
My feeling always goes to the moment I played it. The story was soooo good. And this opening can make me cry. For ne, 2, 3 and 5 have good ost and opening.
Came here after I finished ghost of tsushima, and this song keep popping out when the credit rolls, even after like 20-ish years. Suikoden III really is my gateway drug in my elementary days, saving money just to buy that CD, and going to my cousin house just to play this in PS II, we took turns for each character story, trying to find clue for a recruitable character, after I play SIII, I have this craving to play SI,SII took a part time under my uncle's motor shop, bought my console with my dad's help to have PS I and officially jump start my gaming life, those are the good times. Now at my 32, still playing games but the feeling is not the same nowadays.
This game was very, very good when I was still in elementary school and discovered lots of stories from more than 100 characters in this game, I never got bored.
I find so many upscaling jobs are entirely too smooth because they up the frame rate at the same time, and they end up looking like something on a motion interpolated TV. This is not one of those cases. Amazing job!
if I listen again, the melody of this song feels like it comes from the Middle East but mixed with traditional Japanese music, in my lifetime one of the most beautiful sounds comes from the Middle East, it sounds very sad but very calming
Definitely one of the greatest opening of all time for a jrpg. God damn I want a remake of this game so much. Lets hope that 1 and 2 remaster is successfull and makes the remake of the 3 opus possible. : D
wow I thought that this was actually the video and remembered it so good . Then you improve it even way better! You gave me a nostalgia chill there ! Creds man ! The game here itself isnt the best suikoden game. Thats number 2 in my opinion :)
this game needs to come back, especially after the passing of Yoshitaka. remastering this game for a modern audience, would be a great way of honoring his memory.
Damn. Lol before RUclips it took me 30 minutes to watch this trailer for tsg on the magic box when the game came out. I got suikoden 2 (the guy at toys r us was telling this game was good) and used copy of suikoden for 20. I really enjoyed playing 3 and having a playable Nash Lajkte.
Wow, the upscaled opening for Suikoden III looks amazing in 4K! The visuals are so crisp and detailed. It's a treat for the eyes. Keep up the fantastic work! 👏🔥
Played 1.and 2 . Loved them. Missed this as didn't own the platform to play it on. Then got 4 and hated it . Returned for 5 and it was good but nothing gave me the feelings the 1st and 2nd did. I always regret not being able to try 3
my big sis loved to play this game. i lost her a week ago, and this song suddenly pop up on my youtube and it torns my heart.. i miss her so much..
Sorry for your loss my condolences friend but when you play this game or hear this song you will think of her keep her in your heart ❤️ good luck with your life man
@@justinaysien1204 thank you for your kind support 🙏🏻 i will cherish her and this song in my heart
So sorry for your lost man. . . . She's not gone. . She is still life in your heart
@@unclestrike0182 yes, she is. she will always be.. thank you!
One of my favorite games too. When we see the common instead of the differences between us. We will be better.
RIP to the legend Yoshitaka Muriyama, and with all the respect for giving us this astonishing opening for a game on the PS2 😢🪽
What other games did he do? yes this is a work of art
@@danpiedra9008goggle his name dbz i believe and his last art work was for a game for the ps5
What.. 😕
They say never judge a book by its cover, but in this case, the cover was 10 million times better than the book
@@danpiedra9008Here you go.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshitaka_Murayama
This is still one of the best video game openings ever idc. I'll die on this hill
I agree, years later I still like to watch it.
It ia
I've played tons of games, and I agree. This opening set of scenes with this song hits so hard and really sets the tone of the story/stories being really sad almost instantly. Best Opening ever.
I'm sad one of the other suikodens is getting remastered and not this one.
@@dougm4160 the first two games are eventually getting pc remasters. I imagine the 3rd will also eventually get a remaster too.
21 years later, and it still hits just as hard, if not harder than ever. This is easily one of the greatest and emotionally driven openings of all time. Konami didn't have to go that hard , y'know? But they did... For us.
FF9 Opener is my second favorite to this one.
Bruh the visuals in this opening have lived in my head my entire life rent free
This brings out so many memories, tears come flowing out. The most emotional Suikoden Opening Theme. Those who said a man cannot cry, hear this and see how you can resist to cry.
I agree with you 100 percent on that
I listen to this song, been I have been in spme combat and this song fits of a sorrow song. Just reminds me of things.
They don’t make games with souls anymore but this one does have a soul as the saying goes things change but not always for the better
I may not cry, I've cried a bit too much in my life really, but I won't deny I do get sad and feel my heartstrings getting pulled on pretty dang hard even after listening to it over a hundred times.
It feels like watching a 50 episode anime series. These games really had a lot of scale and memorable casts.
With Eiyuden Chronicles (a spiritual sequel to the series, by the original creator of Suikoden) coming out soon, I’ve decided to play the games through again, and have realised how much I love them all over again.
You’re right though… the whole series feels like watching a beloved anime, with so much love and effort put into them.

@@BYERE Hello, I am a kickstarter backer for Hundred Heroes and am playing the closed beta playtest right now Steam. I can confirm the game is amazing!
@@shinrapresident7010 I cannot wait! :D
Thanks for the reassurance that it'll be as good as we were hoping!
I liked the boy with the dagger. And when lulu dies it’s the worst
This opening definitely left an impact on me. Over 20 years later and here I am. Still as amazing as ever. Just something about this tone, art direction, music. It all blends together to make something truly special.
Well said. Still remember the first time I booted up the game and heart the intro that still gives me chills so many years later.
This intro is so poignant. I lost count how many times I watched this on my PS2. Amazingly crafted.
I loved that feeling when I realized it was bits n pieces of actual moments in the story
Rest in peace Yoshitaka Murayama-san you and your works will be greatly missed!😢
"The story never ends"
*nods & tears up in emotional*
Felt nostalgic. This is the type of music I get so excited to hear in any game. So earthy, soul reaching.
This Game for me is Legendary, i played it Back when i was in my Elementary Days , i Love the Story , the Characters, Everything, i Even Bought the Manga , Suikoden III is an Underrated Gem and Should Have a Remake or a Remaster or Atleast its should really really have its own Anime Series , it would be Great Watching it In a Ongoing Weekly Anime Series Basis...
Gives me chills everytime I hear this.

Bulgarian folklore.
Life changing. Wow. I'm so happy to have figured it out. Wish this game and song were better known and appreciated so a musician could have told me that a decade ago.
I just came from that bulgarian choir video and saw this. Amazing
@@lzzgabriel-va This feels kinda magical, like the algorithm finally got something right today. :)
a cool thing about the song is that the lyrics are actually just random made up words. even if it's not a language it sounds like it could be one and makes you feel emotions.
Maybe becoz it's set in a different world that's why the words are different than in our own...
Oh my god, THANK YOU because I've never known what to look for and now I know what I'll be listening to all day!!
This opening got me into anime and rpg games. Suikoden III will always have a place in my heart. As a child, and as an adult now, I will never forget how special this game is. The characters, the storyline, the setting, everytbing about this game is gold.
My favorite opening I am addicted to this.
Rented this once as a child, never understood it. Years later, came back and did EVERYTHING.
This is in my top 5. Always will be.
2024 and this intro and music still live in my head rent free like it was yesterday. The definition of the word "classic"
2:57 one of the most hyped up characters in the entire game and you can't even play as him. He resembles the main character in previous games. And he is one of the best looking character designs in this game.

I never thought that I'll be crying this much over a game opening soundtrack

Did you ever play Suikoden Tierkreis?
@@derrick.t4031 I did not. Just the main five and Tactics.
A lot of work well done, totally worth it. Big respect!
I'm listening to this with good headphones and wow even the audio sounds very high quality. Good job on upscaling not just the video but improving the audio as well.
I don't know what it is, but suikoden 1-3 will always hold a special place in me. These games were so amazing in every aspect... especially character development and likeness.
I wish I could like 3 but they changed so much and aside from this amazing opening the music in 3 was nothing compared with Miki Higashino's work in the first game
We love you, why is this song so beautiful? i cry everytime.
Randomly got this game at gamestop when I was around 12, and this game, especially this intro, stucked with me. Im 29 now.
My feeling always goes to the moment I played it. The story was soooo good. And this opening can make me cry.
For ne, 2, 3 and 5 have good ost and opening.
suikoden is not dead we are back babyyy
Thank you for uploading this, one of the most emotional and epic intros/music and also game storytelling
By far the best Suikoden intro, and I also think it's the best overall game in the series.
Might be the best intro of any game ever. Lol
2 is the best
for intro yes, for story i still prefer suikoden 2
5 was good too it's the only one that had voice acting I think
@@garythenewman4438 4 had it.
The best opening suikoden series
22 years later and I still get goosebumps when I watch this opening
I can't describe how much i love this
can't believe I could watch it in HD!!! Thank you for making this happens!
Came here after I finished ghost of tsushima, and this song keep popping out when the credit rolls, even after like 20-ish years.

This opening always makes all the hair on my body stand on end.. So powerful!
Wow! this is pretty nice and clear Thank you for making it. I will share it now.
Beautiful and amazing. Makes me want to play this again, but need to replay the first 2
So beautiful so nostalgic I'm crying;;; thank you so much😭❤️
This always give me the chills. One of the best intro for me.
I love this game, I really hope they make remake this
This game certainly could use a remake. The characters, story and the addictive nature of gameplay should stay. Everything else should be changed.
I’d love to see it as an actual anime. That would be so cool!
This game was very, very good when I was still in elementary school and discovered lots of stories from more than 100 characters in this game, I never got bored.
Good music doesnt need even a single word uttered.... They brought us along with much love!
Don’t think I ever skipped this opening during multiple play throughs of the game 🔥
I JUST WATCHED THIS THANKS FOR UPSCALING MY FAVOURITE SUIKODEN OP 😭
Most beautiful rpg opening for me.
THANK YOU FOR THIS
I can happily cry in 1080p now.
I find so many upscaling jobs are entirely too smooth because they up the frame rate at the same time, and they end up looking like something on a motion interpolated TV. This is not one of those cases. Amazing job!
if I listen again, the melody of this song feels like it comes from the Middle East but mixed with traditional Japanese music, in my lifetime one of the most beautiful sounds comes from the Middle East, it sounds very sad but very calming
6 September 2024 still listening this song. Bring back my care free childhood memories 🥲
Just read volume 7 and suddenly come acrossed this in youtube. Must be fate.
The heavenly stars have guided you here.
probably the hardest jrpg opening ever
Thank you, for this high dosage of nostalgia. 👏👍👌
I love Suikoden series...especially S3. This is such a beautiful story game.
This is breathtaking. Thank you.
never put more than an hour into this game. still love this as a top 5 game opener
He visto la apertura un 1.000.000 de veces y no puedo dejar de verla.
As much as I love Suikoden 5 more than the others in the series, this will always be my favourite intro to any of the games.
I hope Suikoden gets an Anime series / movies
This song still jams in 2022
man...:15 to :20 gives me goosebumps everytime...
Definitely one of the greatest opening of all time for a jrpg. God damn I want a remake of this game so much. Lets hope that 1 and 2 remaster is successfull and makes the remake of the 3 opus possible. : D
Man, this hits deep 🖤
Amazing job on this
wow this takes me to those breezy and calm Saturday mornings playing PS2.
Mmhmm
My favorite part of this song is that chorus of dudes going "Whoah! Whoah! Whoah! Whoah!" It adds some extra kick to it.
2:14 favorite scene. Took me way to long to realize that it was Yun's sacrifice.
Fantastic job my friend
The opening is so deep and emotional
I can watch this for ever
One of my faves in my collection
One of the best game franchise I have ever played.
AMAZING, why this game not created as a film or anime. Great story lies in this game.
I watched the full video every time before playing... every time.
Himekami great band working in the opening of Suikoden III
Its such a shame they won't make this into an Anime show as it would be phenomenal.
wow I thought that this was actually the video and remembered it so good . Then you improve it even way better! You gave me a nostalgia chill there ! Creds man ! The game here itself isnt the best suikoden game. Thats number 2 in my opinion :)
Beautiful, I can see my childhood
This always made me want a Suikoden anime
This game doesn't get the credit it deserves, it's absolutely in my top five games ever, the whole series even
this game needs to come back, especially after the passing of Yoshitaka.
remastering this game for a modern audience, would be a great way of honoring his memory.
The Memories!
I wish there was also a prequel game where you get to play as the Flame Champion 🔥
Phenomenal.
I'm a millenial kids, but i think this game is the best game i've ever played
Wants to play this again, but they didn't rerelease it for PS4
2:36 gave me shivers when I was a wee lad. Still give me mini shivers now
For me suikoden 3 has the best overall chracters design from the series
Damn. Lol before RUclips it took me 30 minutes to watch this trailer for tsg on the magic box when the game came out. I got suikoden 2 (the guy at toys r us was telling this game was good) and used copy of suikoden for 20. I really enjoyed playing 3 and having a playable Nash Lajkte.
The single best opening to any game ever made
Wow, the upscaled opening for Suikoden III looks amazing in 4K! The visuals are so crisp and detailed. It's a treat for the eyes. Keep up the fantastic work! 👏🔥
Suikoden II is the best Suikoden, but Suikoden III has the best OST and the best character design
So good.
This game has its own charm
W need a Remaster 😍
Reading the manga in middle school I always wondered……..why wasn’t this made into an Anime 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Played 1.and 2 . Loved them. Missed this as didn't own the platform to play it on. Then got 4 and hated it . Returned for 5 and it was good but nothing gave me the feelings the 1st and 2nd did. I always regret not being able to try 3
FUUUUU!!! THIS FEELS SO GOOD.
Anyone else hoping this gets a Star Ocean Second Story R style facelift?
Yeah but with this exact opening!
