When I think about Ys, I often think about the music! Let me present and rank my favorite music tracks from the first game (Ys Chronicles version). This OST might be somewhat small but it has some really good ones, and it mostly gets better from Ys I for the rest of the franchise and Adol's adventures.
Sections:
00:00 - Intro
01:00 - 6th place (Palace of Destruction)
02:03 - 5th place (Final Battle)
02:58 - 4th place (The Morning Grow)
04:10 - 3rd place (???)
05:15 - 2nd place (???)
06:10 - Honorable mention (???)
07:09 - 1st place (???)
All songs in this video belong to Nihon Falcom. All songs used in this video (in no order): Dreaming, Final Battle, First Step Towards Wars, Fountain of Love, Palace of Desctruction, Tension, Tower of the Shadow of Death, The Morning Grow. This game can be purchased on PC (Steam) and for the PSP.

Which Ys game has the best music according to you?

@HollowFan 9 күн бұрын

Tough choice but the best songs are from YS Oath of Felghana and YS Origins :D

Ys 1 & 2, then Lacrimosa of Dana. Lacrimosa’s soundtrack slaps ass and balls

oh nice timing, I'm just about to get into Ys!

Now that's perfect! I'll probably go deeper into Ys on this channel, so we might be able to continue our good timings with each other moving forward 😁Let us know how you like the franchise as it's always fun to hear a fresh and new perspective on things.

I’m a little sad not to see Palace in there, it’s chill and it gets better the more you listen

I'm listening to it now one more time after reading your comment and it's absolutely good. I really like comments like these and hearing what music tracks you agree with and which ones are "missing" from the list.

Thank you for making this video. The first Ys is one of my all-time favorite games. Yes, it's very short and kinda barebones, but to me, it's actually a part of its charm. And strangely enough, my favorite version of its soundtrack would probably be the one from the pc engine version. It's definitely not as good, but somehow, it resonates with me in a way Eternal/Complete OSTs do not. I would've probably blame it on nostalgia, but i've never played that version of the game, so... who knows.

And thank you just as much for enjoying the video and taking your time to comment! I also think that the first game has a certain charm to it that makes it very unique. I have got more comments mentioning the PC-engine version specifically, so if the Ys videos ends up doing somewhat okay I might end up revisiting this game with that version in mind and create a new video of it. I love comparing different versions with each other like that 😁

Yeah I’ve done the nightmare run, amazing how much more difficult the final boss gets but the other bosses were still pretty easy comparatively. This games soundtrack on the SMS is still fire, even without the enhanced sound 👌

@Teedyan 7 күн бұрын

Great work completing that! And then it was just as I feared that the final boss is still the true test of the whole run. I haven't gotten the SMS soundtrack recommended to me before, now I have to check that out as well. 🤩

Morning Grow lmfao sounds like morning wood... it's definitely morning glow

@Teedyan 8 күн бұрын

Hahaha, I thought the exact same thing when looking into that part. 🤣 Just wasn't brave enough to put it in the video.

Which came first. Playing the game to get footage for the video, or playing the game and realising you need to make a video? 👀

@Teedyan 9 күн бұрын

It came from playing the game on Twitch and for once actually recording all the game footage raw (without any streaming interface on top of it). Since I had it all available, I wanted to make a video from it as some of the work had already been done. 😁

@@Teedyan Ah yeah thats a good idea. Sometimes I wish I played every game while recording because when that inspiration hits you already have most of the work done, like you said

@Teedyan 3 күн бұрын

@@ZentoJPN Hehe, yeah, it's only that little part about storage space that comes in the way if you record everything all the time. I'm at least starting to keep multiplle saves in longer games nowadays in case I want to go back and record stuff. That also helps out quite a lot.

Ys I&II has better music than this version. As for song, I have to say Crossroad of Sadness slaps the hardest, but I also like Theme of Adol.

@Teedyan 8 күн бұрын

Ohhh, is that the PC-engine version? I have never checked it out properly but this comments makes me totally want to do that. While I enjoy the music in Chronicles mostly I think that the guitar is taking too much of a lead role in most of the arrangements. Thanks for the comment! 🔥

The Eternal music is better than the Chronicals version.

@Teedyan 8 күн бұрын

Interesting take! I played the Eternal version the first time I played the game, but that was ages ago so I don't remember it too well. Then I switched to it now and then in my latest playthrough, but I focused mostly on the Chronicles version. Maybe I need to fully focus on it once to see which version I really like more. 🤔

@@Javifaa Yeah I know, that's why I said that I switched to it now and then during my latest playthrough in Chronicles. But I should probably do a full playthrough sometime where I focus on it fully.
