You forgot the: [TYCY-5403] Langrisser II Original Music Album. from 1994 is the best of all Better to check all of them, are the best versions of all. Sadly is not in any game.
Yup, not a single one can top the Megadrive version. The PC-FX comes close though. It's funny to think all the remixes go for a 'princess' vibe rather than a 'dark' vibe like the original. Kind of defeats the point of the name of the song, Dark Princess.
As the fidelity of the instruments got progressively better, the echo and reverb effects got more and more exaggerated and overshadowed the melody arrangement. There's a distinctly raw and visceral quality to the megadrive sound that latter "more refined" productions just couldn't reproduce. And this applies to not just this track, but also all the other ones. There's a lesson to be learned from analyzing the classics, and that is that technical constraints have never been a hindrance in producing great entertainment, the artistry always rules supreme.
Correction, The [TYCY-5403] Langrisser II Original Music Album is the best of all by the orignial author Noriyuky Iwadare. But for some reason is not on this video.
@@cybermx8896 Eh. While most of the songs in that album are great, the version of this specific song suffers from the same thing as the rest of the remixes: it goes more for a "princess" vibe rather than a "dark" vibe. It has ocarinas instead of electric guitars, as many of the remixes, and thus it lacks the same power. It also has too much reverb in my opinion.
