Tales of Phantasia (PSX) Opening HD

[@KratosAurionPlays]

I always did enjoy this song. One of the best early Tales openings if you ask me.

[@KratosAurionPlays]

***** Indeed XD

[@KratosAurionPlays]

***** It's a great 2D Tales but I love Zestiria.

[@suiken3149]

*Best Tales opening. It still holds up even today very well.

[@TenchiHawkwing]

@@suiken3149 Agreed. Still up there as one of the best if not the best.

[@DeltathRiylaan]

@@suiken3149 It's not the best, but it definitely holds up and it's amazing. Hard for me to choose a best though because they're all good. Even the escort titles that suck have great openings.

[@My2Cents1]

The fact that they had a version of this song on the SNES version, complete with vocals, ... is pretty amazing. Talk about squeezing the last drop of an amazing console that aged beautifully. Fun to hear it without the severe compression though.

[@GiordanDiodato]

but it didn't have the animation.

went to listen to the super famicom version of the song and wow it brought back good memories. ty for reminding that they had vocals in the super famicom version

[@PKmaster12]

This is the most nostalgic song I’ve literally never heard before

[@trollingisasport]

I remember when it first came out. I remember hearing the SNES version. It was crazy hearing this kind of song on the SNES at the time.

[@SoulCurioso8271]

PSX has so many legendary games with epic intros.... God I miss those golden days.

[@HenSt-gz7qj]

Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Chocobo Racing, FF VII, FF VIII, FF IX, FFT, Xenogears, Chrono Cross, Valkyrie Profile, Jade Cocoon, Arc The Lad, Tales of Destiny, Legend of Mana, Vagrant Story, Saga Frontier, Front Mission III, Armored Core, Rave, Clock Tower, Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, Alundra, and lots of "remasters" from other consoles like Sakura Taisen, Star Ocean, and so on...

[@DeltathRiylaan]

@@HenSt-gz7qj Star Ocean wasn't remastered on PlayStation. Star Ocean 2 was natively on the system, but that's it.

[@cellmaleymhp]

@@HenSt-gz7qj i would have included snes games like secret of mana, zelda a link to the past, secret of evermore....

If you told me this was footage from an upcoming anime series I would believe you. Hell, It doesn't even look like it had to be heavily compressed in order to fit in the disk... Very impressive.

[@mercylavigne]

Well...Tales of Phantasia actually have an anime.

[@yuantheblue]

I was only able to play this game once, but it has since captured my imagination and never let go. Simply a beautiful game.

[@DekerO03]

seriously, This feels like one of those songs that you would remember forever. like a really classic 90s song that you would expect to everyone to know.

[@endray46]

I know right? The guitar playing evokes some warm, nostalgic memories of familiarity of listening to old, romantic music on the radio when I was a kid. Definitely has that charm to it.

[@trollingisasport]

I heard it on release and still remember the lyrics.

[@fieryelf]

Best remake of a game ever made.

[@rendyajadech1957]

I'm glad they remade this game for ps1 😢

[@luciusirving5926]

Production IG needs to bring back this artstyle and animation back.

[@TrueHeroAriel]

One of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard

[@interior.design.justice]

僕の青春時代に良い感動と彩りを与えてくれた素晴らしいゲームです！ このゲームに携わってくださった人全てに感謝します😊

[@irregularzero9537]

Goddamn I love this game. This is my teenagehood. I first played this on SNES emulator with a ROM translated in french, my native language. I fell in love with this game right away despite its awkward feeling system when you're going blind into the game. It didin't take long before I levelled up enough to really start taking this sytem to my advantage and it instantly became my favorite JRPG. Then I purchased the GBA version since it was the only officially translated "modern" version of the game available to me. I 100%'d it even though it was extremelly subpar, then a few years later, when I was 19, I installed the translation patch on the PSX ROM and finally got to play this version. I was blown away by the reimagined opening, the bonus skits, the voice acted cutscenes, the extra content, bosses, items, sidequests, characters, areas, the revamped battle system, the graphics and recomposed soundtrack. This, in my book, is the shining example of what a true remaster should be.

[@irregularzero9537]

@AOES . Québecois français par ici.

[@DekerO03]

the PSP version that came with the Narakiri Dungeon remake it's even better, but it hasn't been translated :(

[@gamerprince-tl5hg]

I love the music. Probably my favorite out of all the openings

[@razzy9172]

Almost as if it's an ode to all the tales games

[@myk4149]

Remastering this game would be a delight... sadly this game has already been milked and remastered a few times already back in 2000-2010

[@Sumire973]

Sadly Tales of Phantasia: Cross Edition (best version because has Eternia's battle system) is PSP exclusive, and isn't officially translated. iPhone version was disastrous, Bandai Namco has a complex of platforms issues., but hopefully at some point there will finally be a PC port, its prequel, Symphonia, is already on PC for a long time, .and with multi language support.

[@Ekraelum]

I'd kill for Phantasia X on the switch. Mainly because it has Eternia's battle system/battles are no longer annoying because of the constant pauses. And the new sprites And Rondoline

[@downsouth420]

My first time playing the SFC Top my jaw just dropped at the idea an SNES game had a full song complete with vocals. Now I get nostalgic whenever I hear it.

[@juarapersada]

Remind me of my lost childhood

[@souwaitat]

永遠不會忘記的一首歌

[@cellmaleymhp]

one of my favorite game ever... love the story and anything in this game

[@ThatOneLegendEmerald]

Ooooh the perfect 90s feeling~

[@SpyralHax]

Really wish Bandai-Namco would remake or otherwise make available globally this game and the other earlier ones that aren't available. This one is easily my favorite of the franchise and I would absolutely love if it got a remake along the lines of Resident Evil 2.

[@Tounushi]

I'd be pensive about a 3D remake. the 2D games had their own artstyle and feeling, so having an AI upscale the sprites and assets with modernized magic effects would be enough.

[@skunthundler]

@@Tounushi I'd be happy if they just put the PSP version in English on modern consoles, that's more than enough.

[@_kayazura3958]

I'm going to cry, beautiful song

[@jinkazama1272]

Captivating melody.

[@jendorei]

Wow, you can actually understand the words in this one!

[@Xeire]

This may be bad Idea, but I wouldn't mind this classic of a game getting the remake treatment it deserves

[@connordutton674]

I fucking wish 🤞

[@apukami3643]

It's called Tales of Phantasia X on the psp

[@superizillian957]

They probably will …only to not localize it at all for some reason…

Times that will never be forgotten for treasures like this.

[@nitemare1004]

i remember just sitting in front my tv and just having this repeat like 6 times before playing the game

[@rudys.artous5477]

There is no way this was animated in 1998 This looks like its from 2005 or 2006

[@Skippygamer1]

Last year a KZbinr named @EruptionFang did a timeline video of this game and....I LOVED IT! I WISH IT WAS EASILY ACCESSIBLE HERE IN THE WEST OTHER THEN THE GBA VERSION! Heck I'd LOVE to see a 3D model remake of this game. Weeks ago Tales of Grace F was coming to the switch and I remember seeing an article that the producer said other remakes or remasters are going to happen in the near future. All I can say is I HOPE that a 3D, fully voice acted, version of this game is one there remastering, or remaking right now, I WANT TO EXPERIENCE THIS GRAND ADVENTURE! It'd be awesome!

[@outlawscar3328]

Wow, that arrangement and mix is absolutely fantastic. I miss those natural vocals with uncorrected pitch and minimal compression over a full wide mix with some room for dynamics. And what a fat guitar. I think it's an amp mic and an out being panned wide, and when it kicked in with the little minor lift over strings I got goosebumps. And the animation is similarly on another freakin' level.

I demand Tales of Phantasia R, which would be the same treatment as Tales of Innocence and Tales of Hearts. The GBA translation would be used as the basis of the localization. There would be three BGM options: the original Super Famicom version, the PlayStation version, and a brand new arrangement (except that the version of “Take Up the Cross” would be borrowed from Tales of Zestiria).

[@TheJokerAkaCirque]

"GBA translation" Yes, the stellar translation which called Ragnarok "Kangaroo"

[@davidhill8565]

The Joker Maybe they should use the Phantasian Productions fan translation instead.

[@Samanosuke2727]

Ummm I'm thinkin' of more in line of current/next-gen consoles like Switch, PS4-5, Xbox One & X series, when Square Enix released Star Ocean 1st Departure R. Just 3 BGM options with 2 voice options, one from OVA & SFM/PS1 say at least. As for the localization...it can be updated considering the laws is relaxed.

[@davidhill8565]

@@Samanosuke2727 Tales of Innocence R and Tales of Hearts R are remakes, but Star Ocean: First Departure R is a port (albeit a partial remaster) of the PSP version.
