Valestein castle is already banger and jindo made it even more of a banger damn

Jindo said "time to Castlevania the fuck out" with this song.

Which Belmont would fight side by side with Adol?

Yeah the stage looks like a tribute to Castlevania.

That’s got to be the ultimate version of the Jindo/Teremae take on this song. And we’ve heard a few by now.

Dat intro lol! Valestian always in my top 10!

[@LeMusicEnjoyer9319]

Outstanding arrange, my favorite from the album. Impeccable violins and guitars. The violin solo is simply amazing, legendary track.

[@quinceymorris2595]

Love the expanded intro. Definitely up there among the best Valestein Castle arrangements!

[@gandoulf78]

[@Starman2121]

The freaking intro is soooo good

[@raulfuentealba7771]

The intro of a boss you know will drop a banger 🔥

[@gabaou3558]

Let's be honest, this is the track we all came for first

[@JulieFalcom]

my favourite piece of muziek from ys got an orchestral version, HECK YEAH

[@barbrozenblum4588]

The only thing I feel this is missing is the 80s keyboard/rock organ that was replaced by the violin. I love' Jindo's composition of strings but after so many songs they all start to sound the same. Some variation wouldve been nice, such as notes to the original instruments in the Felghana orchestrated ost.

[@pedreiva]

To be fair, Jindo is the one who arranged the entire Felghana soundtrack. The use of the strings *is* variation for this track and gives it that "modern Ys" feel. If anything, the bigger problem is with the whole album's song choices. Making an album of some of the most iconic songs in each game is great, but Jindo has already done what he wanted to do with most of them years ago. And it shows.

[@barbrozenblum4588]

@@pedreiva I feel you. A lot of the songs have some weird segments that feel weird simply because Jindo doesn't want the songs to be rerecords, so he pushes himself out of his comfort zone to do a weird time sig/bpm switchup or include random instruments that might not mesh well. A little jarring, especially in this song

I almost got a heart attack I thought I click in on a blue lobster theme or something.

[@zhaoluyue1995]

And here it comes. The legend. TBH there is a bit of unsatisfactory combustion at around 0:40, and the guitar in later stage becomes a bit stale. But all in all a banger nonetheless.

Not sure how i feel about this. Hearing about what a tyrant Mieko Ishikawa is, and how she's responsible for the problematic music direction at Falcom, makes me feel like Jindo is being forced to arrange her old compositions out of guilt, or even worse... fear of losing his job. Im sorry, but the mistreatment of Jindo makes me lose all respect for Mieko Ishikawa and turns this beautiful interpretation of an old (clunky/outdated) falcom into a bittersweet listen for me.

[@quinceymorris2595]

Falcom likely chose the tracks he was to arrange (hence why they seem to be more popular songs within the franchise, a few of which he's already arranged before), but I doubt Jindo's job was at risk, Falcom still values Jindo highly and he's aware of that, them refusing to work with him would be a bigger loss for them than it would be for Jindo. That being said in cases like these I prefer to separate the art from the artist, despite Ishikawa's questionable decisions in regard to Falcom's music, Valestein Castle (and the soundtrack to Ys 3 as a whole) are fantastic and representative of Falcom at the height of its music ingenuity. They should be seen as history to live up to, not to resent.

[@Choops6969]

@@quinceymorris2595 No. Ishikawa is a bad person and we should never forget that. Jindo is my hero and they wont let him breathe. they're killing him!

[@hyperspacejelly]

i've actually never heard of this. I need the deets on Ishikawa

[@quinceymorris2595]

@@hyperspacejelly Don't know the exact details but the jist of it is Ishikawa got promoted to some executive position and it's said a lot of her decisions are responsible for Falcom's diminishing music quality over the years, as she doesn't believe it to be a priority for Falcom.

[@NoName-lf9fk]

​@@hyperspacejelly the tldr is that she's still the big authority in sound team and the singa situation is more or less her choice. so with how declining falcom music quality in the past 7 years, it can be said it's attributed to her for not choosing internal composers but instead choose an incompetent outsourcer and outsource 50% of music to him
