    Everyone's homework who hasn't played Phantasy Star IV is to go and give this game a go! The story, music, characters and battles all compliment it so well.

    • @LL-cuh
      @LL-cuh 3 года назад +8

      true, 3 and 4 had good stories, the first one lacked because it was basically just introducing the innovative battle system at the time. 2 started to work it's way up in story telling which still did fine but 3 and 4 defined the series being so beautifully crafted.

      played it when i was like 12-13 (and before but i dont remember those times) and i got stuck on xe-a-thouls (atleast i think that's their names)

    The fact that it has taken RUclips until today (Oct 30) is proof that the algorithm needs some work! This is pure musical gold!

    @Truffle_D_Toad 3 года назад +16

    I know Ooze is the more popular one, but this is easily my favorite track in the game, as well as the whole series. Thank you so much for covering it.

    • @ShaimingLong
      @ShaimingLong 2 года назад +1

      I know you posted this a long time ago, but in my experience everyone who's played the game knows Laughter, but mention Ooze and King of Terrors and there's a pause trying to remember which goes to which boss and what they sound like. Even though King of Terrors should be pretty obvious by the name.

  • @Aztyph

    Jonny must be tapping into the dark forces of the Reverent One, because this song is wickedly godlike.

    Awesome work. The Phantasy Star franchise's soundtrack is made for metal covers.

  • @--delirious--4136
    @--delirious--4136 Год назад +3

    i experienced this remix in the form of a few techniques/skills:
    DEBAN: I was worried it wouldn't be as awesome as I wanted so I got defensive,
    POSITRONBOLT: I opened up my heart to it as it continued,
    LEGION: Seeing stars all over the place,
    MEGID: And it was just pure, raw, badass energy.
    This remix blew me away.
    In short, I'd say it was DESTRUCTION: 99999999999999999999999999999999

    "Are you prepared, Chaz?" Rune asks as he looks at me.
    I stare at the door in front of me. "Yeah. I won't fail again."
    From the corner of my eye, I see Rika's face turn to me. "Chaz..."
    "We'll make him pay," Gryz says with a harsh tone. "For everything."
    "I will protect everyone to the fullest of my ability." Demi's words help calm my nerves.
    I raise my hand and open the door. "Let's go. We need to put an end to this madness."
    "Alys..." I think to myself.
    We walk onward, into the heart of Zio's fortress--Nurvus. The chamber beyond is vast, with a long, narrow bridge that connects one side of the room to the other. All around us are terminals, flashing with information far beyond my understanding. The sharp sound of boots on metal reverberates around us as we begin walking across the bridge.
    "Where is he?" I ask as we grow near the other end of the room.
    "He's coming," Rune says.
    Immediately after, there's a bright flash of light a short distance ahead of us. We stop near the end of the bridge as the light coalesces into a beam. As we watch, Gryz steps forward and raises his axe, clutching it tightly in both hands.
    Finally, after several long seconds, the light fades. Standing in its place is a man in pitch-black clothing. The dark mantle resting on his shoulders falls around his slim body, concealing his arms within.
    He looks at us with a condescending face. "Well, well... You've made it here...it was to be expected." His eyes trace a path downward, stopping at our feet. "You should be aware that one step further is the road to your death. I won't let you escape this time!"
    He raises his arms from beneath his mantle and a dangerous, red light begins to fill his eyes. "Oh, reverent one! Lend me power!"
    I grip my sword as I watch the madman bask in that dark energy. I can feel it prickling my skin, causing goosebumps to form across my body.
    "I don't care, even if we face the power of a god!" I scream at him, attempting to shake away my fear. "I won't give up until I defeat you!"
    Zio's face contorts into a wicked smile. However, no words leave his mouth. He only gives us a simple, yet bone-chilling response--Laughter.

    While I liked Zio as a villain, my mind races to Lashiec when I hear this song.
    - SPOILERS-
    One needs to imagine, that the villain of the first Phantasy Star; chose to reincarnate as an undead reverent, just so he could get revenge on the descendants of the ones who stopped him and Dark Force originally. And his malice and hatred was so strong; he set a trap to lure them into his grasp; just so he could murder them 2000 years after the original incident, where it literally has no effect on anything, other then desperate revenge... that's a level of hate and despair far beyond what most villains would do... and I feel the tone of laughter fits this scenario far more.

      @ShaimingLong 2 года назад

      Yeah, like the game just goes and says, "congrats, you beat the prologue: being Alys' apprentice. Now you're on your own, good luck, see you back here in 30 or so hours for the actual end!"
      While I didn't have that originally (no Dark Force battle yet), I do remember having that with Tales of Symphonia. 20~30 hours in, heading to the Tower of Salvation, thinking I missed some stuff but I've been everywhere now so this is clearly the end game, then bam! Yeah that was just act 1, got a whole new /planet/ to explore now!

    Zio was so OP that I thought he was the game's last boss back in the day. Specially since he kills one of the heroes. Great remix, It brought back chilling memories.

    Fun Fact: Everyone who played the game before might know this already, but the game title references to the two main characters. The Player Character is a rabbit (Rabi) who got transformed into a human and the name of the fairy who accompanies her is Ribbon (Ribi).
