At the time we had no idea we were playing a classic
@ Brian I read the bio to this game in a gamer magazine shortly after it came out. Bought it the next day! To this day, it's still the best game I've ever played!
I knew it would be special, many many things indicated that... Now I didn´t know it would be the best game I ever played.
I played blood Oman, so I always assumed it would be a narrative work of art.
Nah we knew. The gameplay of this game always felt unique. Great story and the fact you had to find alternative ways to impale your enemies was interesting.
Your right. L.o.k series lifted the bar re story wise
"I find no nobility in the unlife you rudely forced on my unwilling corpse" WHAT A SENTENCE!!!
This is THE THING, nowadays writers seemed cannot transcend between the happenings, narratives, nor dialogues
Rudely don´t really work in this sentence. Unruly is probably a closer fit.. I´m not 100% but it sounds a little better as a native Englishman who Raziel is loosely based on.
Yeah but I can't get past the Dash and his bit about the bartender's vain attempts to flee and remain unmolested by Dash's blade.
I swear to god it gives me goosebumps!
Played this when I was 19.
Now I'm 43 searching for this in YT just to hear the dialogues and voice acting.
We need a remake of this game
Yeah but I worry if they can do it justice or if they'd fall into the same old pattern of a modernisation no-one asked for. Not to mention some of the voice actors are no longer with us. I mean can anyone really replace Tony Jay or Rene Auberjonois?
me2 36yrs niw and there just been leaked rumors about a remaster. just a heads up
Turning 43 soon. Played it at 17 or so. You are absolutely right.
"Your insults will do nothing to blunt the agony of your demise"
Such an underrated line.
Raziel to Dumah: "My bloodthirst has been superseded by an even darker hunger. I will consume your soul before this day is done."
That was always one of my favorite lines.
Yeh that line said it all for me , I love vampire stories and that is up there on a high level
Some of the best voice acting I’ve ever heard
I first played Soul Reaver in 2002 when I was just 13 years old (included with a PC gaming magazine) and a lot of the dialogues completely went over my head. Today, now in my mid 30's, after replaying the game, the level of philosophy (determinism, fate and the role of free will, evil being a matter of perspective and context) and morality being discussed and the complexity of the story (time travel) can be fully appreciated. They just don't make games like this anymore.
Same exact thing happened to me (born in 1990)! I absolutely loved the game back then and decided to replay it recently: getting a whole new experience with it. 👍
Never. Ever. Let this Game fade away.
As long as one of us remembers…
We are Legion.
It will never fade from my mind or memory, I can promise you that.
@@Raziel_Alastorsame here
Amen Brother
The best opening,no contest,it still gives me goosebumps, music wow
I've never completed this game only played its intro as a kid and I still remember how iconic it was
@@carloschavez344 blood oman 2 ,was a good one,they are all good
This game is where the storytelling really went from great to incredible. The dialogue is just so rich, especially from here on out.
@@MourningCoffeeMusic love all of them,boold Omen series too,it was a great time for gaming, metal gear,onimusha, resident evil, silent hill,it's a bit nostalgic)
Back when games had actual writers.
After many many games, this is still the #1 for me, my first real ❤️ed character (Raziel) and on the podium there is another chapter of LoK; it's the last one, Defiance. The whole history, since Blood Omen 1 till the 5th chapter, is absolutely crazy: I've never been crying during a videogame, but I did at the end of LoK: Defiance for how Raziel ended
They still have writers.
Ah, the words uttered by people getting old in every generation.
100% I will never forget this game. Great voice acting, cinematics and music.
Honestly. I am so hooked on this despite the graphics. The game holds true mastery.
The voice acting is just 10/10.
I've always wondered what Kain's empire must have looked like at it's peak. It's clear what you see in game is just it's ruins.
For humans it wasnt pretty, thats for sure
But you can visit a couple of vampires cities in Nosgoth the game. Its still playable, afaik.
Grand cities and temples filled with vampire men and women dressed in.goth splendour
In Kain face there is doubt, while to see how Raziel tries to guard his face before falling into the watery abyss. Quite bitter...
Kain never really hated Raziel. He saw him as a possible way to undo the fate of Nosgoth. You can see his disgust at himself when he order Raziel into the Abyss. Great Universe.
And, Raziel continually tries to elevate himself to the moral high ground
He's a soul devouring wraith. Before that, a brutal and bloodthirsty vampire. Before that, a ruthless and cold-hearted Sarafan knight
Not to mention, integrity and morality being rare and barely utilised philosophy in a world built on evil and cruelty
He's the very definition of self-deluded
I do think that's a little unfair. Like, I think it's the classic thought he was doing the right thing each time. Like when he finally sees himself from the outside (Wraith meeting Sarafan I mean), he's horrified. I feel all he ever wanted was to be a hero and there's always been someone who's taken advantage of that. Mobius, the Elder God, even Kain to a certain extent. And you know what they say about the road to hell. It's paved with good intentions.
@@ryuwarrior89 I think it's interesting that, being the master of his own destiny, at the end, seeking answers brought the downfall of nosgoth but the rise of kain as the tool of hope. But you know what, if being selfish and following his own path instead of wanting to please others is what brought him there, then I can't say I respect him less for it. He redeemed himself and proved worth of his rest, from his own will. I love this franchise.
@@natanvelazquez2270 Same. I think what I'm trying to say is that, it hurt to see Raziel used the way he was. I mean, the revelation that he was unwittingly the Hylden hero especially. Like who can blame him for getting it wrong. And it makes the ending of Defiance all the more bittersweet. Coz yeah, he's finally able to exercise his freewill and be the hero he's tried so desperately to be, but we know what he's going to become. And so does he. I love how Kain tries to stop it and then says "we" and "us" as he takes on the Elder God though. It just shows how much Kain still repected Raziel and cared about him. So yeah, maybe his pursuit to be that hero was selfish but I don't hate him at all for it. In fact, maybe it's coz I started with SR1, but of the two, Raziel is my fave. Just. It's pretty close but just. So my intention was to defend him against the first comment lol.
THE best game intro EVER !
I still think it's funny how game play mechanics are explained in a way like it's an everyday thing and it feels so organic
When this first came out the voice acting blew me away. Even now the voice acting of this game has aged like fine wine. I hate it when people say the game didn't age well. It looks exactly as it looked when I played it first. I respect the game for the cutting edge technology and voice acting at the time. I wouldn't mind a remake yet I'll never shit on the OG either.
That's it....I'm replaying this entire series yet again😂
This game has a deep meaning to our life and the destiny of our soul and the importance of knowledge
🗣️💯
I would have called you crazy a few years ago, but when you start studying the esoteric occult knowledge that is all around us, you notice that those ahead of us leave clues, specifically in media and symbols.
The path of Satanism. The pursuit of individuality and omniscience

The fascinating thing about the game's narrative is that Melchiah and Rahab at least were fully in board with their own destruction, fighting in arenas designed to kill them. Melchiah is the most understandable, being nothing more than a rotting mass of flesh probably almost as tormented by his condition as Raziel was. Rahab is more intriguing though, was he just following orders or did Kain have to explain his motives and convince him?
Zephon is seemingly just lost to hunger and is immobilized in any case while Dumah's arrogance got the better of him immediately.
They're all hopelessly lost in one way or another
Possibly, it started after Raziel-s execution dissolusioned their empire, forcing them to eventually abandon it and skulking away deep in their hovels
Melchia was the weakest, less favoured son trapped within a patchwork of corpses and yearned for a chance to die
Zephon, as you say, had gone mad through his insect-like mind and ravenous hunger
Dumah had gone mad with delusions of superior power
Rahab, perhaps due to his immunities to water, saw himself as superior also and still blindly served his absent master to the last whike seeing Raziel as a traitor
@SamuelBlack84 Kain did speak with Rahab at least once before the final showdown, though... and unlike the other brothers. Melchiah still believed Raziel was killed because he evolved first, Zephon and Dumah couldn't be talked to, and nothing in Raziel's talk with Turel involved Kain, just that he knew Raziel had returned and was killing their brothers before being abducted... although TBF, he was both possessed by the Hylden and driven insane even beyond that, so the evidence there isn't as strong.
That's what makes Rahab's case so much more intriguing to me, all the others can be easily explained as some combination of wretched/devolved/arrogant except Rahab.
Not only was this game epic but the lines are like that of a poem, one of my favorite game series of all time
Imagine a movie of this legendary game
Today Raziel looks like Dave Chappel
I would piss my pants
I dared to be Icarus and was condemned to be Prometheus

The best quality video for LOK SR so far.
Thank you
I want a remastered of all the blood omen
Honestly remakes would be perfect as long as they stay consistent with the original source material for all these games.
@@jaelalonso8431 I feel like remakes would be difficult given the death of Tony Jay due to both how many roles he performed throughout the series as well as the unmatchable quality that he delivered his lines.
@@Mobius_118 Yeah but I feel like with a bit of audio engineering his original voice can be used in the remake.
Man, this was and still is my favorite game of all times, I would love to see a Remake with bigger áreas, Better combat, more things, the cut content added, all that It is but Better to a modern standart, but I Still love him, and that writing and voice acting is Perfect, even for today standarts
You missed some of Ariels dialogs as well was Dumas Spirit realm conversations before removing the very first Spear inside his physical body.
writers out did themselves here, absolutely brilliant.
27:05 is an offspring of Turel, Turel's clan, and that dialogue right there is meant to be between Raziel and Turel, even though you can clearly see that they cut the name "Turel" out of the dialogue at 27:45 "No fear from you Turel"
And the gift of telekinesis was also a gift of Turel, which you can see in Legacy of Kain Defiance boss battle with Turel.
Fascinating to see the cut content make sense now.
28:32 you can see a T insignia for Turel on the stone. Place was owned by Turel and overtaken by Rahab.
yup they weren't planning a sequel yet so the game was longer, there was also that furnace " you can see it in the cutscene" it produce smoke cloud to cover the sunlight, it was Turrel's lair I guess
Such magical storytelling and music which transcends time 😊🥰
In the tomb of the Sarafan, I truly enjoyed the nice touch of them including a site for Malek from the first game. Also there are claw marks against his name on the wall and the absence of his coffin, showing Kain defiled it due to their past.
I know I'm wrong, but as a kid, I always imagined the claw marks were caused by Malek himself lashing out in a fit of rage at how he was never able to die and rest
28:08
the subtitles say "Israel has infused you with the power to compress and manipulate space" and for some reason that's the funniest thing I've heard all week
😂
far the best Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver's storyline on the net
Thank you
I find it fascinating playing a character sworn to defeat one you once played. Makes me think of the Soul of Cinders 😄
At the intro, Kain already knew Raziel crucial role in Nosgoth history as the soul inside the reaver.
I think it was his first real test at the coin flip. If raziel dies in the pit how could his soul be bound in the reaver. I think it was his first attempt at making a massive paradox.
The writing, dialogue and voice acting still holds up beautiful
35:05 essas frases nunca saíram da minha mente,a anos,essa voz do Elder God é inesquecível!🇧🇷
If i ever hit the lottery i swear ill pay the team the remake this entire series i swear i will ❤
As much as I love the Legacy of Kain series for it's impeccable storytelling. The games needs to be remade with quality of life modifications and better graphics. This would be a perfect series to reboot. Starting with Blood Omen 1.
MASTERPIECE
I hope that some day, that Soul Reaver will have a PS5 remake sometime in 2025 or 2026. But this remake will add in all of the cut content that was supposed to be in the game but was removed for a holiday release date. The cut boss fights like the Human Priestess and Turiel, the cut Smoke Factory level, the cut final boss fight with Kain where Raziel finally kills him and the cut finale where Raziel unleashes the sound wave from the cathedral and kills all of the vampires, but soon realizes that the Elder God was just using him. Raziel then decides to go back into the past and save Nosgoth from Kain's arrogance.
What about Blood Omen and Defiance?
18:03 This line is perhaps more true then they realized while making SR1.
Picture yourself as a child, playing this game without understanding English. It took me a whole month to reach the first boss
I loved this game. Bought it on the Sega Dreamcast, thinking Dreamcast was gonna last😅...still, a great game. I played Blood omen on PS 1 and it was good too but this, dammmmmn. Loved it.
I would love to see this franchise relaunched on the ps5 with unreal engine 5 graphics, this is 1 of my favourite franchises ever all the blood omens and legacy of kains, there a master piece of story telling and gameplay. I've tried to get them again but can't find them
Interesting to note: Ariel's dress. She died in a red dress, but her ghost haunts the pillars of the past wearing a white frayed dress. Here that same dress is dark, almost black. I'm not sure if it's intentional, but it matches the pillar's state of decay, which makes sense as she stands watch over them, bound to them.
I noticed that too. Maybe her ghost doesn't wear what she died in but what she was buried in?
My favorite story for any game I can remember, so intelligent brilliant as well as awesome voice actors
The game looks good. Thumbs up 👍
I first played it in 99 on a demo cd. Been my boys and I most favorite game to this day.
When me and a friend saw that opening I told him one day games are going to look like this, he doubt me
One of the first games I bought for my Dreamcast along with shenmue 1, grandia ll and gameshark lite!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😃😃!!!
I demand a remake
That intro always hits
I remember playing this when I was a kid, never got head round it at the time but maybe it’s time to crack out my old ps1.
Amazing to see those voids at the end of the game with Raziel striking down Ariel and wielding the flaming reaver were cut content from the final game, since the developers didn't have time to implement those ideas. It served as a nice "What if" within the game.
I wondering what Kain would have done to get Raziel into the other world if Raziel didn't surpass Kain with his wings..like Raziel was so loyal ..I feel if Kain told him he needed to sacrifice himself ..he prob would have done it willingly
This game set the bar for voice acting for me.
Best Lore Ever
I like how the elder corrects Raziel about who killed Dumah's clan but stays quiet about Raziel's, He was playing Raziel from the start 😮
Who wants this game Remastered???
I forgot how awesome the graphics were for a PS1 game.
I met my first ever best friend playing this game. The first day I met him he invited me inside to play his dad's cool new game for the PS2. Played all day, asked mom if I could stay the night and we passed the controller until we passed out.
Incredible story. Huge fan
I love how they were able to change Kain's reaction to Raziel being thrown into the Abyss from uncaring/destroy a "traitor" to "fate is forcing my hand, so I must do this, but I cannot watch this", without changing a single frame of animation.
God, thank you for this. I miss this game so damn much.
In this world, is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the hand of God hovering above? At least it is true that man has no control; even over his own will.
This quote is stuck in my mind.
Berserk and Legacy of Kain. Two of the most well written franchises involving Destiny out there. The Witcher would also count, but they don't really go against destiny in that one.
Wow when the late great Tony Jays’ voice kicks in I always get goosebumps 🥹
As I watch this again and again Rahab at least was shocked by what Kain did, Perhaps Melchiah also. I cant work out if it was Turel or Dumah that was uneasy about casting Raziel into the Abyss
My playstation would never let me progress past dumas.....to finally see all the cut scenes and the story....what an amazing game
Who remembers the demo disk this came on... from pizza hut 😊
what a great game this was
"Only when you have felt the full gravity of choice should you dare question my judgement!!!"
If i could...I would marry the voice of the Old One....
I like kain laughing
Raziel: I am destroyed....
PS5:. You are Reborn!!!!
A known novel is coming, after two decades we are reborn!!!!.
Some of the best writing and voice acting in any medium. Imagine if Marvel movies had this kind of impact. They might actually be good.
Is there a game today that even comes close in terms of story and atmo? I still remember the first time Raziel enters the Sanctuary of the Clans Building after centuries have past. And later at Part 2 or 3 where he realised who he was and fought his own self! Not even in movies that story. "...and we all now one step closer....to our destinies"
Imagine this remastered 😪😪
Need remaster on this game
Immediately.
i loved this game just because it was a thinking game made me fall in love with tomb raider
Less is more malchiaih tarel and rehab had the greatest gifts malchiaih was one of the most invulnerable and most useful gift last is 1st and sometimes toughest by him receiving poorest portion of kain gift to me he inherited mist form gift he also almost couldn't be hurt
One of the great games. I never really got into legacy of kain and sr2
Never noticed the wings being see thru
God if I could write like this
they gotta bring this game back, and find those writers ! lol
Best game on the PlayStation
You are worthy....
Did Kain intend on turning Raziel to a Wraith or was it that he realized his fate due to the timeline looping? I have a hard time believing Kain had this kind of foresight and it makes more sense that Kain was remorseful once he realized Raziel was the champion and his way out of the Mobius, Mortanius and the Hyldens trap. I seriously think time changed Kain but, he was legit jealous of Raziel.
Dialogue as early as when Raziel encounters Kain at the Sanctuary would suggest that Kain was indeed playing some sort of long con.
Kain had access to Moebius' Chronoplast Chamber. That helped him become wise and gain insight into the timestream. It's why he meets Raziel there at the end of the game, and berates Raziel for dismissing their implied lessons: "These chambers offer insight for those patient enough to look." Moreover as he says in Defiance: "...Because of your *remaking*, you are the only unbound creature, the one among us all that truly has free-will." Kain did not necessarily piece together Raziel's entire importance by the time he threw him into the abyss, but as of the time he did so, he understood why it was necessary to do it.
I would furthermore mention that in the cut ending sequences for the original Soul Reaver 1, Raziel explicitly is amazed that jealousy wasn't Kain's motive: "I thought I understood you, Kain. That your jealous hatred was the root of the wounds you inflicted. But this... this genocide of your own kind is unconscionable." And in the ending we got in retail Soul Reaver 1, Kain vaguely alludes to this: "...And that is why, when I must sacrifice my children to the void, I can do so with a clear heart."
Simply put, it was always intended that Kain had higher motivations.
We need a 2023 soul reaver
Cain is Defied , The Clans tell tales of Him
If u were in spectral form u can have a dialogue with dumah before freeing him
Please make a remaster or remake of this game! I would love an updated soul reaver.
Remake not remastered
Remaster, not remake.
@@AnonymousAnonposterI prefer remake
i kove kains laugh
You could literally take all this audio and make an animated series of it
I would like to play as Raziel first of his lieutenants wings and all
A remake would be welcomed!
