Suikoden 3 / III opening (Upscaled 4K) 

RIP to the legend Yoshitaka Muriyama, and with all the respect for giving us this astonishing opening for a game on the PS2 😢🪽

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 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.

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..

It feels like watching a 50 episode anime series. These games really had a lot of scale and memorable casts.

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.

This intro is so poignant. I lost count how many times I watched this on my PS2. Amazingly crafted.

Felt nostalgic. This is the type of music I get so excited to hear in any game. So earthy, soul reaching.

"The story never ends" *nods & tears up in emotional*

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...

Rest in peace Yoshitaka Murayama-san you and your works will be greatly missed!😢

This is one of those openings you never skip.

Gives me chills everytime I hear this.

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!

A lot of work well done, totally worth it. Big respect!

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.

We love you, why is this song so beautiful? i cry everytime.

My favorite opening I am addicted to this.

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.

By far the best Suikoden intro, and I also think it's the best overall game in the series.

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

probably the hardest jrpg opening ever

6 September 2024 still listening this song. Bring back my care free childhood memories 🥲

Beautiful and amazing. Makes me want to play this again, but need to replay the first 2

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.

Most beautiful rpg opening for me.

So beautiful so nostalgic I'm crying;;; thank you so much😭❤️

man...:15 to :20 gives me goosebumps everytime...

I watched the full video every time before playing... every time.

I JUST WATCHED THIS THANKS FOR UPSCALING MY FAVOURITE SUIKODEN OP 😭

I hope Suikoden gets an Anime series / movies

I can watch this for ever

The single best opening to any game ever made

This always give me the chills. One of the best intro for me.

Good music doesnt need even a single word uttered.... They brought us along with much love!

AMAZING, why this game not created as a film or anime. Great story lies in this game.

Thank you, for this high dosage of nostalgia. 👏👍👌

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 :)

My favorite part of this song is that chorus of dudes going "Whoah! Whoah! Whoah! Whoah!" It adds some extra kick to it.

I love Suikoden series...especially S3. This is such a beautiful story game.

For me suikoden 3 has the best overall chracters design from the series

wow this takes me to those breezy and calm Saturday mornings playing PS2.

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.

I wish there was also a prequel game where you get to play as the Flame Champion 🔥

Anyone else hoping this gets a Star Ocean Second Story R style facelift?

This is breathtaking. Thank you.

Reading the manga in middle school I always wondered……..why wasn’t this made into an Anime 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Suikoden III's story could've rivaled Knights of the Old Republic II and Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer, you have a character who shook the foundation of their worlds because they knew that they live on worlds dictated by whims of fate and wished to oust said powers to bring freedom for people but it demanded a steep price. Shame Murayama didn't manage to finish it, may he rest in peace. Also, if you love this kind of music, check the band's discography, Himekami. I recommend Poem of the Gods (Kamigami no Uta) and Prayer of Thousand Years (Sennen no Inori).

Beautiful, I can see my childhood

Amazing job on this

Fantastic job my friend

2:36 gave me shivers when I was a wee lad. Still give me mini shivers now

One of my faves in my collection

Wants to play this again, but they didn't rerelease it for PS4

This game has its own charm

Phenomenal.

Does anyone know what kind of 'genre' the singing is? I've heard it in a few songs and I love it. I need more! :D

The Memories!

Remind me of the tibetan throat singing. I liked it

This song still makes me feel. Try Magna Carta Tears of Blood intro

The best openingnand story in suikoden series imo... Should be 2 disc / part as it very long story

Thankyouu!!

Also my name is Garrette too, like the flame champion Garrette ❤

As with Suikodens, always a great game. One thing that bothered me, was parts of HQ that didnt fix/repair itself? Otherwise another perfect Suikoden.

best in the series

So good.

FUUUUU!!! THIS FEELS SO GOOD.

This game needs to be remastered. The loading screens on the ps3 version of the game really slowed down the flow. I would like to see the game redone and brought back with voice lines and maybe even other side stories like what they did with Thomas.

*sigh* The days of homework...

Last time i bumped this i was still playing SSBB

I would always let this opening play before I start my game. Was this opening that special? Or are all suikoden game openings that good?

I'm still pissed this is not a real anime series

rest in peace Mr Murayama…. f***

Not my favorite Suikoden, but this one is my favorite opening in a Suikoden game.

At 2:10 you cannot see the silhouettes that you are supposed to. You've done something bad at that part.

dance boiiii!

Is it true it's getting a remake?

anyone knows who is she at 2:17?

WHY THERE IS NO ANIME???!!!

This is my least favorite Suikoden game but it's my favorite Suikoden opening with Suikoden 2's opening.

...

Why is this not an anime yet?

Even though the gameplay suck But the storyline was so good after 2

オープニングだけは、私のベスト10に入る。 オープニングだけは…

Dios mío que rolota!

This is still one of the best video game openings ever idc. I'll die on this hill

suikoden is not dead we are back babyyy

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.

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

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 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.

Its such a shame they won't make this into an Anime show as it would be phenomenal.

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.

2024 and this intro and music still live in my head rent free like it was yesterday. The definition of the word "classic"

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.

I'm a millenial kids, but i think this game is the best game i've ever played

I can't describe how much i love this

Just read volume 7 and suddenly come acrossed this in youtube. Must be fate.
