Dragon Quest I Symphonic Suite - Château Tantagel

Song By: Koichi Sugiyama
Preformed By: Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra

[@chunky9269]

this theme is etched into my soul.

[@masamune..]

As it is to many of us all. This is by far my favorite version of this song. It's both haunting, yet optimistic.

[@gandie233]

this song always gives the vibe of preparing you for the adventure... which is fitting because this is the first song you hear right before you set out

[@fernando3061]

True.

[@thatgamingauthor]

The original Dragon Quest soundtrack has always been particularly special to me, and I'm only just now finding these suites. These are incredible.

[@CaptainCFalcon]

Goddamn, Dragon Quest, you keep being amazing, you perfect JRPG you.

[@CaptainCFalcon]

Also I feel like this was used in DQ9

[@Merknilash]

Modern DQ is boring and sucks

[@mikeprado30]

@@Merknilash So annoying to see the typical and unfitting edgy comment 🙄

[@granzedora]

@@Merknilash FF moment

[@atomicwedgie6756]

@@Merknilash what makes it boring in comparison to the older dragon quest games?

[@isayasbashiri5371]

The best JRPG series.

[@albertnortononymous9020]

Isayas Bashiri Definitely the most solid RPG I’VE ever played.

[@CaptainCFalcon]

@@albertnortononymous9020 Literally all of Japan would probably agree completely with this guy.

[@54baxers]

Dragon Quest VIII is goated

[@fyrestorme]

Elegant and inspiring

[@TheTrueBro]

RIP Koichi Sugiyama 🥺

[@tohopes]

ohh, i didn't know

[@SantaFeSuperChief1]

He was a war crime denier and a bigot and a huge asshole when it came to music rights. Not a big loss.

[@8-bitsarda747]

Some people would say that Dragon Quest is very generic as far as RPG's go, but the people who say that forget that it LITERALLY INVENTED THE GENRE.

[@dzaertag]

Wait really?

[@AcidBurst1]

Did it though? It created the tropes the japanese rpgs are known for, sure, but DQ was inspired from western RPGs like Ultima.

[@Neo-Midgar]

@@AcidBurst1 Not RPGs as a whole, but it definitely started the JRPG subgenre.

[@thesupernintendophile7404]

It was the first ever home console RPG, I believe.

[@heyitsyeh]

aka "I'll be Bach"

[@Tribulator]

One of my favorite castle themes along with Legend of Dragoon and Sword of Vermilion.

[@IohHan]

I've never played this game but i love this music. One of the best video game musics I've never heard. High quality.

[@fernando3061]

I'm so glad this version exists, that they did this. It needed doing.

[@danielarantes4090]

Como que pode alguém dar deslike em uma coisa maravilhosa dessa? Dragon Quest Forever

[@DarknessXER]

This song lives rent free in my head and i love it. Lol

[@LordRoto]

And it loves YOU. If I ever visited a European castle this would definitely play in my head for sure.

[@granzedora]

​@@LordRotosame! Might have the same thing playing in my head when visiting the UK Castle

[@sir_christopher_owls]

I have no idea where I've heard this but it made my whole body chill. I couldn't move for a whole minute listening to it.

[@boun3202]

The music looks like daft punk

[@AEsECAGesDesDurE]

I like the staccato in this performance. Kinda gives that period performance feeling haha

[@AbelReyesalucard]

Ésta es una de mis favoritas! :D

[@navedocapitao1299]

I fell like a lord

[@tohopes]

and then got back up?

[@matthewmyers7075]

so elegant

❤️

[@amyschreiner4504]

Aka Kings Forttress

[@deanw4663]

Dost thou art wish to continue thy quest?

[@syndicatephilharmonic9205]

Why is this played so mechanically?

[@MarceloPisaniGarib]

to look like the in game music...perhaps

[@syndicatephilharmonic9205]

Marcelo Pisani Garib There was another version with the LPO - far better.

[@MarceloPisaniGarib]

+Syndicate Philharmonic great... wanna hear it

[@t3hpenguinofd00m4]

Mechanical/motoric rhythm is the basis of baroque music. Its at the conductors discretion to play it in a romantic style or stay true to the baroque style.

[@syndicatephilharmonic9205]

I know, I was only joking. This kind of playing allows for more polyphonic clarity. Btw don't you think this uses the subject from the BWV 565 fugue as main theme?

[@auraguard0212]

The first one sounds like it was remixed in RPG Maker. 😅

[@SatoshiTheHalfJapMan]

Anyone else feeling that Fur Elise vibe?

[@syndicatephilharmonic9205]

Ramone Tavarez Dear lord...

[@digodinn]

no

[@JayDrawsManga]

No

[@RicoLen1]

If by Fur Elise vibe you mean Baroque style, yes.

[@scottythegreat1]

Toccata and Fugue vibes, actually

[@shigehirotsuzuki8883]

The beginning of song sounds like Air supply Goodbye. Compare it to this song

[@LordSursiaSunrunner]

this is a face ---> :)
