Yeah man I feel the same, I feel like I'm a kid again playing video games, new fresh fun and my heart is racing (I mean it's really beat real fast with exitement)
Kudos man, of all the games that release nowadays, Ys is one of the relatively few that's never stopped being awesome in everything it does and this game was no different.
it hasn't been a year since i played this game and hearing this again makes me almost tear up already for unknown reason. now i can't imagine the feeling i'll get 30 years from now
Yeah this game has moved me in a special way I can't explain. I knew Adol and the passagers were gonna get off the island eventually but I never wanted it to end. It's gonna be glorious to replay this masterpiece.
I am in a similar spot, except i havent played a single Ys game yet. I am here because of Adols Theme of this part of the Series. His Theme also made me buy some Titels. I am looking forward to experience what Adventures lie ahead of me and what soundtrack is going to get me dancing mad.
@UR WRONGxD The story is good.. but like all Ys, The ending is pretty badly written.. Oath in Felghana is probably the best ending so far in Ys series IMO.
Honestly. This song hit me like a truck when I first played it. Also, I wouldn't say the ending to this game at all. It's done pretty well especially for Ys standards. The series has always been focused on the gameplay more than anything.
@@dangerousshoes The story of YS is always pretty good compare to Final Fantasy which is so generic except 7 and 8.. However like all Ys games, the ending will always be tragic. At least the ending here is better than Ys 7.. But i still prefer the ending of Oath in Felghana as the best of all series (Since Memories of Celceta is the turning point of the series where Adol became an Adventurer instead of your typical swordsman).
@@KaitoRyuga That's definitely an opinion on the Final Fantasy stuff, but I'll leave that alone. I don't really remember Oath in Felghana's ending too well, probably because it was kinda basic. Adol kills Galbalan, saves Felghana, leaves Elena and everyone else to find adventure somewhere else, and so on and so forth. Which is something that can be said about most of Ys, just swap some of those names around. Can't say much about Celceta, though. Never got to play it. Ys 8's ending (mainly the true ending) was something a lot different from the rest of the series, and I thought that was nice.
@@KaitoRyuga I honestly see no difference story wise between jrpgs, they seem all very bad. So I only managed to play 2 of them, FF12 and Xenoblade because I liked the combat. This one sadly has similar bad combat to story, some easy generic button mashing :(
This is such an interesting game. My brother had a stack of Switch games and I was trying them. When I got to this one, it absolutely blew me away. I'm a hardcore gamer and never heard of the series. But after this game, I'm a fan. It is one of the best RPGs I have played in a while. Just had that magic that so many games this day in time don't have.
@@trollinlikeamadafaka5127 Not only the Tales of Series but also the Trails of Series too. The Star Ocean series and Phantasy Star Series is good too if you like Scifi genres.
@@JavaJoe1119 The ones your talking about are probably Xenoblade, Xenoblade X and Xenoblade 2. True fans have also played Xenogears and the Xenosaga Trilogy. The Super Androids from The Xenosaga Trilogy makes a cameo as a Super Rare final Blades in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Their names are KOS-MOS and T-elos. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yz7z9RPY0dY.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4-tEKnGqFME.html
When I started this game and was playing the first 5-10 hours of plot i couldn't have imagine that this masterpiece was gonna make me feel the way it felt. Just amazing... the plot, the characters, the music. I wish I could play it again without knowing anything about the story. Forever Dana.
I went in with low expectations, just thought it would be your typical anime JRPG that would be an alright experience..and was completely blown away by it. Such a great cast of characters and story, with a really fun gameplay and OSTs. Trying to get through the other Ys games, but I just can't help but feel I would rather play Ys 8 over the older ones.
@@rambact5769 for most people their first introduction to a specific thing tends to be the best for them, to me YS seven is the best even tho there is Oath of Felghana and others that are better according to the people's opinions
This song is just pure joy to me. The thrill that Adol feels when he starts out on a new adventure comes across almost perfectly in this. Can’t imagine a better song to start a game with and it certainly helps that Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana is one of the best games Falcom has ever made in their long history.
That moment when your character wakes up on the beach with this song playing and the whole island to explore... I wish i could lose my memory just to relive that moment again
@@16xthedetail76 well almost all of Trails games is good, but for me the best Trails game is Crossbell duology(Zero and Ao no Kiseki). I really like all character in Crossbell arc especially Randy and Rixia, and the story is so good and the soundtrack is dope af!
I felt immediately hooked too when I first heard this song here on RU-vid a couple of years back. It’s what got me to get this game, and is what got me interested in Falcom in general Hope you enjoy your adventure!
I started this game literally immediately after the end credits of Ys Seven had finished rolling and I had spent a well over 100 hours on that amazing game. And once I started playing this, I was blown away because I couldn't believe how phenomenal this game was! I Finished it twice, spending a couple more hundreds of hours and enjoying every single millisecond of the game and it's incredible music. Memories of Celceta was also an amazing game. And so was The Ark of Napishtim, the game where it all began. Not a single track in the whole series that's NOT 10/10 And then I started searching what else Falcom has to offer, and soon enough, I found the legend of Heroes series, which is *just* as amazing. The level of quality these guys can keep up is out of this world.
This song is stuck in head since the very early hours of playing this game. I don't seem to grow tired of this song at all - it's still SO good, even though I listening to it on repeat countless times. That's when you know a song is a true masterpiece.
@@rapidfire9999 considering how jacked up the trails in the sky release was it comes as no surprise. Cold steel have made people more aware of Falcom and Tokyo Xanadu ex+ was the final straw that made Falcom go "What? We have a western audience?"
First heard this song from this exact upload of yours back in 2019, been listening to the amazing Ys music by Falcom ever since. Just 2 weeks ago I finally started my first Ys game - Ys VIII, what an unbelievable game this is. Apart from a few nit picks here and there I loved everything about it. The gameplay, the setting, the music, the characters, the plot; it was all one big adventure and what a ride it was. I highly recommend this game to anyone, even if you aren't particularly familiar with JRPG's.
The battle type (slash, pierce, and the third one), and the map are probably my two biggest nitpicks. I wanted to use Adol and Dana in my party but if i did i would be at a big disadvantage against certain enemies due to both of them being slash. And the map was not really all the helpful in trying to figure out how to get to certain areas. Also given how long chapter 2 was i feel like there should have been another party member to join in that chapter. But overall its a fantastic game. I'd give it 9.0, or even 9.5 if i am generous.
@@zackfair6791well, if you already finished the game at least once, you can play on a certain endgame dungeon, where you can get a slash, strike, pierce medals each Use that medal on your character's accessory slot so they can do that kind of damage too
So accurate :) That's what it does to me, even on a shittier days...this music just lift me up :) Can't wait for the game, 12 more days until preorder comes!
Um, it's not.the older games had great music into think the same band makes the music for the series anymore. The last ys game that had good music was the psp games. The music fell off after the psp games.
I loved it more then the most recent title they put out for it. Felt really short and small compared to this game. Plus loved the characters in this one way more.
Ys VIII was my first Ys game and i have to say that is one of the best JRPG's of this gen and sadly it's totally underrated. The music is simply amazing. Can't wait for Monstrum Nox localization.
Same dude! I’m having an absolute blast just exploring what I can. I also love Dana’s character design. I thought she was a short little cutie, but she was just short for her time period. lol
You know what, this is a banger and makes me want to play more of the game. It is so well composed that it blends into the action on screen almost perfectly so much so that combat almost feels like a rhythm game.
Honestly, game kinda starts like that too. Laying half dead on a beach after almost drowning? Ain't no time for that, there's ADVENTURE to be had!!!!!!
Her looks is like facing an enemy straight forward without fearing it and just smile, (might be the cause of not knowing the fear of death but) what a great eyes.
I'm overjoyed beyond words that our humble planet has been blessed by Falcom Sound Team jdk. They are Gods, descended from heavens. We were not worthy of this level of epicness... ♥️
Same here! I played the free trial for switch online members and fell in love straight away, bought the full game and played it 10+ hours a day for a week lol Incredible game
Somehow this theme captures the "adventure vibe" perfectly, if that's saying it right. When this theme drops as you start to explore the island, that feeling of hearing it the first time is pure magic.
@@fp2608 I chose to stay in the first area of the game for a long time. I usually dislike repeatedly defeating the same enemies many times, but this song made it fun. I didn't even need to do that, but I wanted to! Falcom has recently become my favorite developer of JRPGs. I'm tired of Square-Enix and other companies due to them becoming westernized... Especially because the current form of westernization is particularly bad due to strange modern politics being forced into everything...
@@Vulpas"strange modern politics being forced into everything..." LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Trails, y'know the series that Falcom is most well known for, doesn't feature modern politics. Sure, let's ignore the fact that Crossbell is heavily inspired by Hong Kong and the message and resolution is that it can (and should) be a free country. Sure, let's go ahead and ignore that the curse of Erebonia as we see it in Cold Steel is in essence, ultranationalism and fascism. Not to mention, this doesn't even include Trails through Daybreak, which isn't officially out yet over here in the west. Its message isn't even the slightest bit subtle and practically bashes you over the head with it. Did you play the games at all or are you actually so incapable of having any semblance of media literacy?
@@WizedexReal Finished Cold Steel III the other day. Falcom's world building and the themes in these games seriously impressive. You really get immersed into it all. Only wish they dialed down the ridiculous anime tropes.
When i first heard this composition i couldn`t believe my ears!! Having played all Ys games except the 5th one i can clearly tell this song is so damn unique compared to other Ys OSTs. Jdk Band did a great job composing a melody that would remind me of a breezy sea on a coast And opening in this game is a whole new experience for me! It`s so romantic! It feels like watching anime (same as in Ys I&II Chronicles) I love you, Falcom guys! I`m for Adol and Feena shipping :)
i played both versions of Ys V (SNES and PlayStation 2). They're not very good to be honest. In fact, the PS2 version of Ys V is my number one least-favourite game in the entire series, haha. (i still beat it anyway just cause I felt like it). Hopefully they make a new version of Ys V that's actually good, just like how Oath in Felghana was an amazing new version of Ys III, compared to Wanderers from Ys which was extremely mediocre.
2017's Best and yet Coolest Theme to have ever been well created!! This Music definitely brings a whole new level of Music into the World of Ys Series.
Good luck with Ys 5 then if you dont have a ps2, is very hard to get is the only one i havent played by now, the easiest way is getting a snes emulator and playing that version
Still in shock I've only just learned of Falcom 8 months ago; Kiseki and Ys are easily the best jrpg series I've ever played with the BEST osts aswell.
I’ve been playing Falcom games for years now, I first played the English translations of the Ys games for Famicom, these games are fucking amazing but I was really disappointed with VIII, it didn’t live up to my standards. But the music is as good as always :)
@@rambact5769 Yeah it sorta went into trashy territory while still being relatively YS like. My favorite is YS origin. I still enjoyed YS VIII though but yeah, the YS series should not be 40 hours long with waifu bait crap.
@@aaoronsathi8833 You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't play the Sky and Crossbell arcs before Cold Steel 3. Personally I find them both to be farrr better than cold steel regardless
Damn good. Probably my favourite of the ones I've listened to so far. If anyone's wondering, the translation of the name of this would be something like "Nameless Beach" or "Nameless Coast".
I’m not sure how to put it into a nice title, but a more accurate translation I think would be “unknown name beach/coast”, right? I feel like the Japanese subtly means that it has a name but that it’s unknown, rather than it not having a name. I could be wrong though.
Your explanation is totally correct. For what's worth, the game itself uses "Nameless Coast" for the location. My favorite piece of English from the game would be "Mountain pass with a fine view", lol. Official name in the OST is "Sunshine Coastline".
I legit just finished this game. Falcom always has the most banger ost I swear. Really underrated company. I loved their work for the kiseki series and was a bit hesitant to play this game. Im glad I did too just in time for IX.
This jam (and Soundtrack as a whole) has become my favorite Ys track. And possibly one of my favorites in all gaming. Can't wait to play it. (Waiting for steam ver.)
