Doom Castle (Final Fantasy Mystic Quest) - GaMetal Remix

[@SilentPhoto]

As much as people want to talk trash on this game, this was my childhood, and the music absolutely slapped. I'm so glad you did this one justice!

[@GxRiku]

As someone once wrote beneath a rendition of another artist "The Games Soundtrack feels like a Metal Album trapped in a game" and it really shows LOVE this game AND its soundtrack Had a SUPER blast back then when i played it x3

[@WillowEpp]

The compose is currently bassist in a Queen tribute band, so probably not inaccurate.

[@GxRiku]

@@WillowEpp huh, neat!

[@jvstice56]

The game may have been easy, but the soundtrack was top notch. You did this song so much justice, I tip my hat to you.

[@samusx2175]

Agreed on both statements. Mystic Quest had an amazing soundtrack.

[@imptwins]

Missed opportunity for 'this game was easy, but the soundtrack went hard.'

[@LumanareM]

agreed. FFMQ was easy, but one thing that's agreed on: the soundtrack slaps.

[@AcadianBacon8]

Well it was meant to be an introduction to RPGs for kids, so that makes sense.

[@diegoarmando5489]

​​@@AcadianBacon8I've always found it redundant given that FF4 is already the best first JRPG ever made. It's a phenomenal showcase for what the genre is capable of that's not overly lengthy or bogged down with convoluted game mechanics.

[@Ozymandias2x]

FFMQ had such a great soundtrack. It was blatantly meant to be played like this.

[@adamdenardis5438]

Same with Lufia and Breath of Fire

[@richardgauvin8293]

When I was in high school when I'd warm up playing drums I'd rock out to this song almost every time

[@thelastsidewalk]

@@adamdenardis5438 Oh yeah, how about that Lufia 2 Sinistrials theme. Absolutely rocking.

[@diegoarmando5489]

@@thelastsidewalk Lufia 1 is rough to play. They should have remastered it to play more like Lufia 2.

[@gabrielchee8470]

Ofc, you are kinda rooted to FF. The Black Mages would be happy.

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

If one loves Final Fantasy music, they must listen to The Black Mages and Jonny.

[@ChanivonKarpa]

No doom in the mystic quest for a Magikarp Festival cover! It's my true fantasy, even if it is my last!

[@Faxanadu_]

Mystic Quest is always a good time! Suggesting the Overworld theme from Faxanadu on NES

[@kyrasoze516]

With a splash of the church and shop music! 👌

[@civilwildman]

Listening to the original tune in the game, you knew you were approaching the end. It just has that tone to it that says "Let's finish this..."

[@civilwildman]

Gotta love the acoustic version of the Volcano/Lava Dome dungeons at the end. :D

[@garyhall7867]

Didn't really need to metal that up too much, but def dig it. That song is literally the best part of the game. Would like to hear the Four Fiends theme from Final Fantasy 2/4

[@Hei_Darkfire]

People may hate this game (I don't fully agree, but I understand why people dislike the game), but I think the soundtrack at least deserves far more love. Nice to see it get some notice.

[@matthewbankey5547]

God damn, I didn’t realize the soundtrack for this game kicked so much ass! Killer cover, Jonny! 🤘 By the way, “nice” pick for the next song. >:]

[@HarmfulDesign]

Oh yeah, the regular battle, boss battle, and final boss themes are all absolute bangers.

[@GalaxyWisp]

@@HarmfulDesign I'd LOVE to see him cover the boss battle theme in the future personally, it's just SOOO good!

[@rikerthe3rd]

Brother you just made one of my dreams come true. I may be the only person in the world who loves this game. Flaws and all. Thank you so much

[@mattdarrock666]

Mystic Quest might be a super comfy RPG, but damn does its OST go super hard, and we get bangers like this because of it

[@IntegerOfDoom]

I always thought this game was mediocre... But I always loved it. Now I can hear why.

[@Zer0.-_]

A legendary song performed by a legendary artist.

[@Scorp721]

I remember the first time I played MQ back in the day I almost gave up on it at the start but the battle music was so damned good I stuck with it. Turned out to be a really good game and the music only got better as the game went on.

Never played this game but this tune is quite NOICE. Always happy to see a new Gametal upload.

[@benjamindeh873]

The game was not worth its music. It was basically a dumbified final fantasy. Not worth of your time. The best about the game was the music really. A second cool thing about the game is that all enemies and bosses have different art depending on their HP. But the story, battle system and game mechanics are all very underwhelming.

[@sixth_shinx6016]

Ohshit, Woodman coming.

[@thelastsidewalk]

I love the synth addition at 1:29, simply amazing. Fond memories from playing this game. There was a hard mod for the game made a while back. There were two different versions of it - one with music changes, and one without music changes. The version without music changes seems to be lost to time. I wouldn't want to play a version without the original music, personally. 'Shrine of Light' might be favourite OST track period.

Ah Mystic quest. Never did a game have so many jamming songs that felt epic even when I was killing the final boss with cure magic

[@DesertRainReads]

Fuck me, this is orgasmic. Finally, a Doom Castle rendition that not only does justice to the original, but builds upon it. If this game were to ever get a remake, I would want your rendition of this theme in it. Without a shadow of a doubt, the best version of Doom Castle I have ever heard. Simply fucking incredible.

[@LarLakFarStrider]

What a game. Second favourite FF game right behind the first Crystal Chronicles. Soundtrack for both are legendary.

[@MegaZzZeux]

Well this was a pleasant surprise. Don't care if this game was "easy" for us USA players... such a banging soundtrack. (This and the battle themes in particular)

[@Rubberman202]

I've been on a bit of a Cazok kick as of late, Cazok being on of the composers for Everhood and in particular, the one who composed Revenge, which rocks as we all already know. I was just thinking how cool it would be to have some of his other songs in Everhood would make awesome GaMetal covers, in particular Seeing Red, Psychedelic Breakdown, Vampires Invading Heaven, Pranks and Party Poppers, Powers of Destruction, Feisty Flowers, Dark Eternity, and definitely, DEFINITELY The Final Battle, which is my favorite song from Everhood after Revenge! Hopefully you'll consider one or some of these sometime.

Don't, Mystic Quest was made because Japan thought the reason why FF wasn't popular in the west was because clearly the Western audience were too STUPID for it, and not because that westerners had a different gaming culture
