Castlevania 64 | Orchestral Music Compilation

[@RedSpade37]

Hey, so I've been putting the same comment on Castlevania 64 ost vids, but basically I am looking for a person by the name of Justin (last initial M) as he was a *tremendous* fan of the Castlevania 64s, especially of the music. You see, Justin and I fell out of contact with each other due to a series of unfortunate events, and I have been posting this comment around in the hopes he might see it and reach out. He has never used social media, and googling his full, legal name yields nothing of him, as recent as July 31st, 2022. With everything going on in the world today, my only wish is to reconnect, and relive the old days, one final time. May this "voice from the past" reach you, dear Justin. May you escape the *Judgement* of Fate. With Love, Magustus

[@Tetsugaku]

Hey there, I am sorry to hear that you fell out of contact with your friend. I am going to pin this comment in case he sees this video, he'll see this comment first. If I ever come across this name I'll let you know. Sorry I can't do more, I hope you find him!

Thank you! Almost no one bothers with Castlevania 64 or Legacy of Darkness although they were amazing games!

[@Tetsugaku]

I'm glad you like it! It was a great game and one of my favorite games during the N64 era! :)

[@SpouTSmemS]

Totally agree with you guys! Both 64 Castlevania games were amazing, and so are these covers!

[@ReluctantWarrior]

They were underrated gems that were unfortunate to have come right after SOTN.

[@Subthing1]

it was the best games of all the castlevania games!!!

[@koopa-ink1211]

Atmospheric music and gloomy moods in the villa and castle center. Really get nostalgic for the feel of playing the forest of silence for that first time as Carrie or Rheinhardt. What's your favorite moment from this game? Mine is either the showdown with Actrise or the moment that the giant beast starts walking toward you after activating the castle elevator.

[@flies9244]

I honestly loved this game. One of the most atmospheric and gothic N64 games.

[@simdrew1993]

This is spectacular. I always wondered why nobody made their own remixes or remasters of this game because it's soundtrack is just too good. Always stuck with me even from my childhood.

[@Boomblox5896]

Because this entry of the series needs to get more recognition first. It's great but heavily downplayed by critics of the old days.

[@simdrew1993]

@@Boomblox5896 You're right! I never understood why critics gave it such a bad rap, probably because it was so different from the older games before it. Still, it's a fantastic game!

[@Boomblox5896]

@@simdrew1993 The only bad part is probably the ledge-grabbing and your heavy commitment to a jump once you leap in the air. No control once you let your feet leave the ground, but that's how Castlevania has always been. Pro-Tip though: Just hold down the jump button when you reach a ledge so you grab onto it properly instead of slipping off into the abyss.

[@simdrew1993]

@@Boomblox5896 Oh for sure, I used to fall into the abyss or poison water all the time, the grabbing and camera controls were awful, like I sometimes couldn't see everything because of the poor camera controls and would fall lol. Thanks for the tip, if I play it again I'll keep that in mind. I remember when I didn't know about the moon cards and advancing time, I had no idea there was a time limit before you got to the castle keep, before Dracula got to the Vampire hunter guy.. and advancing time had him get turned..

[@Boomblox5896]

@@simdrew1993 Neither did I. I had to fight Vincent and then I don't think I ever got to finish the game properly. Dracula was a bit difficult of a fight for me at the time. Now on emulator, I'm trying my best to speed thru and get to the end before it's too late.

[@connormorgan6884]

My favorite Castlevania game

[@noldorwarrior7791]

Same. I know other castlevanias were considered as masterpieces. And indeed they are quality games. But none of those reached my heart as this one does. I played Symphony of the night like 4 times. and others either one or 2. But Castlevania 64... i lost count on how many times ive replayed it. Even todays.

[@TheColdBloodedGamerS]

@@noldorwarrior7791 Agree.

[@JT044-iz1cv]

I want Castlevania 64 to remade by From Software. Seeing how good Bloodborne is,i want to see their interpretation of Castlevania.

I ABSOLUTELY love the Castlevania 64 games and the ost! I REALLY wish they would remake both of them!

Castlevania 64 was a masterpiece that never got the recognition it deserved. The music and the story are memorable twenty plus years later..thanks for posting!

[@dilleng123]

Ik I grew up with it n played it with my dad, brother, sister, we were blown away n transforming into wolf was groundbreaking to me first transformation game to me. The final Dracula form felt like fighting satan a fallen angel

[@MartnCFdk]

I didn't know it was so hated. Yeah, playability was not good, but I had lots of fun with this game.

[@Fighter101network]

This Castlevania is amazing. I know it had camera issues, but it's still my favorite castlevania in 3D to this day.

[@One-ct3xe]

I think this game feels the most vampirey, if that makes any sense, and you really made the atmosphere pop with your music! The Villa theme and Rose are great pieces, but Im in love with the Castle Center and with The clock tower!

i love the sinking old sanctuary..... since i was 12 years old! now i'm 30 years old! i can hear the song and now your music compilation every day =) thank you! greetings from Germany to Japan? i hope so =)

[@Algenie]

The way you orchestrated the Castle Center - Main Theme is going to live in my head for a long time. It's really interesting, was always my favorite track from the game next to the Sinking Old Sanctuary and the Duel Tower theme (especially love how you did the Duel Tower too. Perfection). But the main theme, the combination of instruments that you use make it interesting to listen to, and also just a Little Bit unnerving. Really just excellent work.

[@Heat00veride05]

The way the violins and piano are used throughout this soundtrack along with the subtle trills and calmness of this music shows truly how scary and riveting Castlevania music can be. This game and soundtrack is of legends especially the Legacy of Darkness expansion.

[@GothicXlightning]

3:20 Castle wall - watch tower truly captures beautifully the suspenseful sense of Eeriness and Enigma that Castlevania should always be about 'Courage Don't leave me' a Mighty Belmont Once said ..

[@TheMemexMan]

This video deserves tons of attention. It's beautiful

[@tomlillis7830]

Castle Center is an underrated bop, and I dig the arrangement. Very cool.

[@ExinerisLP]

Thank you so much for putting in the effort for this soundtrack. Castlevania 64 will always be one of my most cherished games, and your covers did the game justice

[@alinhje]

Any chance you'd also do "A night of piece and quiet" ? With your talent it would really become something amazing

[@moxxiefan2.055]

An incredible take on the CastleVania 64 OST, Each track from this CV64 OST remaster are atmospheric and spooky in they own way. There's a few track's i've enjoyed. Those track's are Sinking Old Sanctuary, Garden Maze, Toothed Wheel & Dance of Illusion's. The instrument's choices are great too. In fact the instrument's are from a DAW called Mixcraft, Which in fact is my main DAW & one of my favorite's. My 2nd DAW to use will be Reaper or Cakewalk. Both are great options, Since Reaper takes less space in every PC while Cakewalk has great amount of features & a powerfull DAW none the less. Thank you so much for remaking the CV64 OST. Please do an orchestral arrangement of Dracula's Theme from SCV4. Or maybe a possible SCV4 Re-Arranged OST in the future?

[@KorenRedLotus]

Absolutely flawless and wonderful renditions of the themes that made those games so cool. It makes me feel the creepy, enthralling atmosphere they had, and brings back so many cool memories

[@brandocervantez2620]

Now this is just beautiful! Absolutely beautiful. Castlevania LoD was the first Castlevania I ever played and beaten. I was five years old. And this just brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for your work.

[@RedSpade37]

I am very jealous that Legacy of Darkness was one of your very first games! I know that feeling, that... rising emotion, from deep within. I know you posted this comment 3 years ago, but I pray all is well. May the Night watch over you!

No need to be sad, I'll probably make more Castlevania songs, I picked out the songs I liked best when I made this music compilation and it was anything but easy, so you can imagine that the rest of the songs won't be easy for me to cover, it will take some time. :)

[@hyruleguy9569]

People normally say these games are the worst in the series, but considering they were the first 3D entries, I'd say they're pretty good. Not amazing or anything, but definitely not bad. I think they translated the gameplay of the early classics to 3D very well, adding some exploration elements. I don't find Reinhardt's whip bad, it automatically targets enemies, just like sub weapons, and the sword is a very good close-range "get off me" weapon. Also the platforming is just fine. Yes, the camera can be a little annoying at times, and it's a bit hard to predict where you're gonna land after a jump, but it's mostly fine. What's really frustrating though is when you have to scale platforms. It's sort of Tomb Raider 1-ish but harder and more clunky. Over all, these games are really good for the first 3D games in the series, and honestly, they deserve praise.

[@Tetsugaku]

Actually I had no problem with anything when I played Castlevania 64 for the first time.

[@Tetsugaku]

[@kind2311]

CV64 and it's rerelease/expansion Legacy of Darkness, is, IMO, the best 3D representation of Castlevania to date. Say what you will about the poorly-aged graphics, but the sense of uneasiness and isolation in the soundtrack and level design, is peak Castlevania mood. It's incredible how different the game is compared to its immediate predecessor, the legendary Symphony of the Night.

Yeah, he was the shopkeep for items, but if you spent too much gold with him he'd claim that the fine print of the contract said you'd forfeit your soul to him, so he'd become a boss battle along your final steps on the way to fight Dracula.
