The Dream Will Never Die - Tales of Phantasia (Studio Version of Theme from Cartridge)
Рет қаралды 123,286
8 жыл бұрынTales of Phantasia was one of the only SFC / SNES games to feature music with a vocal track (the theme song, "The Dream will Never Die / Yume Wa Owaranai"). Of course, the version on the cartridge was pretty crude - but it was still an amazing accomplishment for the time.
More than a decade ago, I'd stumbled across a studio version of the arrangement on the cartridge, featuring what sounds like an identical vocal track - and a much-expanded backing track including electric guitar and backing vocals. However, I lost the file, and since then all I've been able to find on KZfaq is the version with the piano intro that was used in the OVA / PSX (not a bad version by any means, but not the one I was looking for).
Well, I finally found it, and I want to make it easier for others to find. Enjoy.
(Note, I do not own anything related to this video. However, I have been unable to find this recording anywhere - for sale or for streaming - and am making it available simply so that others can enjoy one of my favorite childhood OSTs).

This game was WAY ahead of its time, I swear. It was a revelation when I first played it. Back then what prevailed was turn based battles like those in Final Fantasy, and I thought for a long time this was the only way an RPG could be created. Then I play this little jewel in a SNES emulator and with the partial voice acting, the vocal opening theme and real time battle system my mind was simply blown. A shame this game never came out of Japan back then. I still say, had this game arrived to America when it was first released, nobody would be talking about Final Fantasy.

LOL, Tales can only dream bout being in the heights of FF at its peak. Bamco had every chance to overtake FF during its down years and still couldn't capitalize. And ironically, the FF games with "tales" combat blows and was a shadow of its former turn-based self.

@@suiken3149 Although the combat system has little to nothing to do with the quality of their games and it has to do more with subpar writing, it's sadly true that Bamco didn't capitalize to overtake FF during its down years. Overall, they suck huge time at taking any chances shown to them

This games was ahead for it’s time with audio streaming (something unheard off at the time since most snes games just simply used 100% synthesed music) but this games uses sound streaming for it’s voice samples,something wich is very common these day’s BUT on the snes it was supposedly impossible since the snes wasn’t made with audio streaming in mind,no game developers did had to deal with the 64KB in mind and squeeze every sound and a instruction into it,BUT thanks the flexible voice driver engine it became possible to bankswitch audio samples in & out on the fly to get around that 64KB limit,thus extending the capabilities of the snes soundchip🙏👍 Now what if we will hack all snes games with the sound driver in mind to stream higher quality audio samples trough the snes soundchip and without an external sound chip😁
