Ultima VI The False Prophet: Ultima Theme

[@supajasiu]

You have found a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a chain coif, a spear, a spear, 6 loafs of bread, a wheel of cheese, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a magic ring

[@Qarnifex]

I miss those days.

[@vsavatar]

And once in a great while, the fabled Magic Axe.

[@Xarfax321]

Thou finds a fuckton of spears!

[@notsusan]

you forgot the cups and silverware that my dumb ass hauled all over britannia because they HAD to be important somehow

[@waterbottle4782]

Thou hast found a fuck tonne of spears. xD

[@SimoneBattaglia94]

Would love to hear an 80s U.S. epic heavy metal version of this, sound so epic

[@danielborisov6892]

Ask Little V Mills to do one...hes a big youtuber and does amazing metal covers for games!

[@pyrix]

You find: A spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear...

[@waterbottle4782]

Thou hast found a fuck tonne of spears...

Ultima 6 has the BEST FANTASY music.

[@Qarnifex]

Until you get to 8... the game of 8 was bad, the music was epic.

[@EST84x]

Adored this. Gonna make this my ringtone for someone important.

[@X4PP3D]

I love this version. I wish it could have sounded like that in the game.

[@TaintedMustard]

You know, the box art for this game is incredibly ironic. The Avatar, bathed in golden light from on high, stands like a heroic symbol of absolute good over the corpse of a fallen 'daemonic' gargoyle, but anyone who has played the game to completion knows just how un-Avatar-like that image will ultimately seem to the player. I wonder if that was a deliberate attempt to play upon the prejudices of the player. Bravo to the artist and to LB if it was.

[@Will-xk4nm]

The cover of Ultima VI is the cover of the Book of Prophecies of the Gargoyles, that Iolo has in his possession after snatching it from the dead Gargoyle priest at the end of the Instroduction. It depicts the False Prophet - the evil invader that steals the Codex and causes the cataclysm that ends the world.

[@undeadpresident]

Great composition and artwork!!

[@TaintedMustard]

@piajeno Crystal clear. Thanks. I always liked the cover, and I figured it was intentional, but never knew for sure. These days, you might have any number of people working on different parts of the game and they might not all share the same vision. It was different then.

[@Eggs_is_eggs]

Adlib/Soundblaster forever!!!

[@d4sp1d3r]

I might be mistaken, but I remember this song being the theme song for Ultima V: Warriors of destiny.

[@soundscape3065]

It's the Ultima theme in general

[@Will-xk4nm]

This is the "Ultima Theme" but it only appeared in Ultima V and VI

[@Francois424]

I want piano sheets for this song so bad. But never seem to be able to find any... *sigh* My favorite song of all ultima song from all ultima games. It just gets me... maybe it's a nostalgia thing from when I was playing this non-stop on my atariST (was U5 theme on the ST).

[@サンチェイン]

6theme,forest,stonesが最高。forestはPC版とSFC版どっちも好き

[@huldu]

Ultima up to part 7 was just awesome. With 8 they went downhill fast...

[@notsusan]

it was amazing, they took away your companions, your choices in character customization, pretty much all the best things Ultima had.... and in exchange, we got jumping. thanks EA

[@The_Real_DCT]

@MrSantiago0789 Well to be far Ultima 8 suffered alot due to EA forcing Origin to rush the game out for the holidays despite the fact that a holiday release wouldn't logically boost the sales.

[@TaintedMustard]

@piajeno That's cool. Sorry, I've never seen or heard a LB interview.

[@evag6370]

WAT epic is this??????????? omg

[@sslaxx]

Interestingly, while Lazarus (Ultima V) uses this theme, Archon (Ultima 6 Project/Ultima VI) does not.

[@vysearcadia522]

Exactly this. Check kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3i8Z2B4irt2qdk and go 14:17 in (or check description for pre-linked songs in the soundtrack for "Ultima 5 Theme") and you can find the real one there. Still haven't found the truly adapted version they used in the Ultima Online for later use but Ultima 5 Theme comes close. Also sorry for an 8-year late nostalgia post.

[@KungKras]

What soundcard was this?

[@KungKras]

***** Cool :)
