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.
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.
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.
I love the phantasy star series and this song is badass..While it is mostly known as Zio's theme or also plays against Lassic which closes the circle.on phantasy star 1. The fact that rune(lutz) is on your party brings nostalgia back
@@kevintaras1456 Yes considering He Too was Seduced by Dark Force! If ever a game needed a new game added to the original series..This series deserves One most! Because as we all know..True evil never dies...Forever!
"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.
Yeah Phantasy Star Music! There is quite some great music in it as I have been reminded from playing PSO2. Great timing on this as this is getting close to NGS. Also Anniversary for the series too this year.
Phantasy star eh?

A remix of one of my favorite Phantasy Star song on my birthday? Fantastic! Phantasy Star IV is a cool game with a great soundtrack and deserves more love. Thanks for the remix!
PS4 is probably my favourite childhood game and your remixes really capture the original tracks themes and boost them into the stratosphere! So damn good!
This is a very driving theme! PS: I gotta suggestion for you: a duel remix of Guyzoch Space Pirates/Guyzoch Space Pirate Teio Form from The Wonderful 101.
Man, i remember when i defeated Zio, and i was thinking that it was the end of the game. Like, what a great game... The game: That's just the beginning. Me: What?!
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!
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
Since you're doing a ton of Phantasy Star stuff these days, you should do IDOLA The Holy, especially since Phantasy Star Online's 20th anniversary celebration is going on this year 🥰
Oh my goodness I keep finding more and more gems on this channel! Phantasy Star's franchise is what got me into JRPGs to begin with , and the music was one of the biggest reasons. I'm absolutely overjoyed to've found this! It really captures the mood like no other remix I've heard has. Absolutely glorious.
Here are some pieces that I would like to hear Gametal take on. ( ★ = Favorite ) ★ C&C Renegade Soundtrack - Stomp ◆ Sonic Heroes - Final Fortress Zone ◆ Kirby Star Allies - The Final Push (Friend Star) ◆ Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Special Stage Theme | Super Sonic Theme (possibly medley them together) ◆ Godzilla Unleashed - Mecha King Ghidorah's Theme (Main Menu Theme) ◆ BattleTanx: Global Assault - Main Theme Looking forward to what you put out next! :D
PSIV's soudtrack is so good. The twangy crunchy quality of the Genesis FM synth is just perfect for the scifi theme of the game. Great metal version too btw!
I love Phantasy Star!! Please do more tracks! (Hope is mainly for PSO series) The whole series really doesn't get the love it deserves when it comes to remixes and arranges!!
Kickass! One of the best songs from the best retro Phantasy Star game for sure. This one's seriously menacing, as it should be considering when it plays.
Ah nice, probably my favorite theme from the classic phantasy star games, alongside death place and tower as well as ooze, which both later gotten arrangements for PSO and PSO2
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.
I love this song! The entire soundtrack of Phantasy Star IV is such a hand banger, and you rendition of this song it is absolutely wonderful! I find that it manages to carry the original song's weight really well.
Game music of that era often couldn't do more than imply lead or chugging rhythm guitars. Very nice when people flesh that out to be like what you heard in your head back in the day.
It is RRR time! The Rabi-Ribi Requests are back again! Cyberspace.exe Sudden Death The Truth Never Spoken Mischievous Masquerade 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).
Phanstasy star 4 is such a fantastic game, I wish the classic series could get a remake like some of the classic FF games (with QoL stuff in the older ones) or the recent awesome mario RPG. This is a great cover and I love hearing these songs tuned up from a more obscure series!
"NO WAY...", I yelled at 4 in the morning. This game doesn't get enough love on the internet and seeing this remix made me light up with excitement. 🤩🤩🤩
This was fookin' awesome! Lotsa fertile ground for covers of Phantasy Star tracks. I want to hear a cover of the Phantasy Star II early game dungeon theme.
Also I just want to say that you keeping that similar type of sound for the intro was a smart move. It's so specific and sets the tone for you to unload on the rest of the track.
Which such a metal remix, it looks like a fierce confrontation will begin. One only a wonderful game like Phantasy Star IV could bring. If the battle in question was in an anime, I think it would be one that would last seven episodes. Maybe a saga ending battle...
The first time I fought the guy in the air castle this theme kicked in and I knew he was going to be tough. With the lightning storm going on outside it just made the fight that much more epic.
Seeing Corrosion hit Rune for all of 3 damage, and yet still having him dead by the end of the fight, tells me everything I need to know. The person recording the gameplay footage didn't know to abandon the staff and hand that man two shields XD
I heared this for the first time, when I saw your Sega Genesis medley, So glad to have it here again for a full version. My request is, as always: The Alchemists II, from Nioh
Oh god, I can't believe I lost this! As a classic Phantasy Star fan I loved it! Hope to see Rune's theme one day here. God, I must subscribe now. Awesome remix and video.
If what I think the Bowser one is what it is, I will so damn happy. Otherwise I will be gravely disappointed. Too bad it’s one of the final (if not final) songs of the album. Keep ‘em coming!!
Awesome Cover, you are one of my favourite Musicians on RU-vid. Thanks for being awesome, also I'd dig Fly Octo Fly from Splatoon 2 or the Galarian legendary birds theme from Pokemon sword and Shield.
