In game, when your character goes to the church in Domina (the first city), you can sit at the organ and your character will play either "play the organ" or "play the organ 2" (it's random, and set once for your game run). Your character either plays perfectly, or like a beginner :D
Yoko has the ability to instill nostalgia into a song that you've never heard before. She's the master at melody driven pieces that will be stuck in your head from childhood till the rest of your days.
Legend of Mana have the VERY BEST ost ever! When you play the game liste ing to this music, you'll never forget your experience. I even choose the opening theme Song of Mana to pkay on my college graduation ceremony.
It's been a long while since I played this game, and had been hoping for it to be covered on this channel for a long while. Yay!
One thing I notice about this soundtrack is how much Yoko Shimomura had a lot of the songs start off sounding really small, then swell and expand into a more orchestrated sound. It really makes me feel like a small person on a journey in a huge land that expands before me. Love this soundtrack so much.
Yoko Shimomura is a genius, it would be awesome if you reacted to the Kingdom Hearts ost as well 😃
Useful notes on part 2 of this soundtrack: Legend of Mana follows a slightly open-ended format, where you explore the world and discover quests along the way. There are three major story arcs you can play through; it's possible to see all of them, but you only need to complete one in order to get to the quests that lead to the ending. Most of the second half of the OST focuses on these. This is why there are clusters of tracks that introduce and then follow specific leitmotifs. Each has a track that introduces the theme, some have a secondary track, then you basically have the dungeon theme, the boss theme, and the ending theme for that storyline. The track "The Darkness Nova" (23) is generally reserved for lesser boss fights that are related to these story arcs.
Story spoilers follow...
Tracks 37 (Missing Truth) through 40 (The Other Truth) cover the Faerie arc. A half-human, half-demon named Irwin has stolen the life force of Matilda, the abbess of Gato Grottoes' temple, who has rapidly aged as a result. She accepts this because she is in love with him, but her friends struggle with whether to support her or destroy the demon. Meanwhile, Irwin sets out to attempt to destroy the world.
Tracks 41 (Complicated Destiny) through 45 (The One Who Waits for the Breath of Destiny) cover the Dragon arc. The player character becomes bound to Drakonis, a dragon who resides in the Underworld, to hunt down three other dragons who stole his power. Over the course of the arc, we discover that these other dragons were guardians of the natural order and had been trying to seal Drakonis away lest he try to conquer the world. The player ultimately has to stop him. This is the easiest one to get through, simply because the game keeps telling you where to go next; for the other two, there are various points where you have to find the starting point to the next part without a lot of help.
Tracks 46 (Depression Blues) through 50 (Those Who Are Shining) cover the Jumi arc. The Jumi are a race which have jewels for hearts (they are referred to as "cores" in game.) A long time ago, certain Jumi had the ability to shed tears that had healing powers, but the ones who could do this sealed themselves away to prevent the power from being abused. The Jumi have been slowly dying off since then. A jewel thief named Sandra has been hunting them down. It turns out that Sandra herself is a Jumi whose real name is Alexandra, who is assisting an enigmatic creature known as the Lord of Jewels, who promises to restore the entire Jumi race if he is fed enough Jumi cores.
Finally, tracks 51 through the ending cover the final quests, with Silence of Time serving as the final boss theme.
Also, it's too late now, but Dan skipped track 49 in the confusion around almost skipping track 48, so we didn't hear the Jumi boss theme except for a little bit at 3:00:28. Definitely worth a listen since it's done entirely on an organ.
Thank you for your insight and for sharing Decision Maker!!!!
Secret of Mana would be a short, awesome OST to do. Big fan BTW.
I have been waiting for this!
Earth Painting remains one of my favorite game songs. Yoko Shimamura did a fabulous rendition of it on the Dramatica orchestral album.
I actually bought the physical soundtrack for this game in 1999 from a small record store that used to be in San Francisco that carried japanese music and game soundtracks, and listened to it so much on my portable CD player that it got scratched enough to render several songs corrupted, so I had to request the store to order another copy for me and took much better card of it.
I personally love that you give so much insight and break down different sections. I would love to see a Grandia 1 or 2, or even perhaps a Dark Cloud 2 OST listen. :)
Guys, this is not a drill! HE'S LISTENING TO MORE FROM SHIMOMURA!!
Hoping Radiant Historia makes it here someday.
@@Zaleos All the Yesses
We need you reacting Hotline miami 1 and 2 OST, like right now!
I've always loved this soundtrack. Enjoyed the reactions and breakdowns. Thanks for the video.
I'm not sure if Baten Kaitos has been suggested but would love a reaction to that OST. That's my childhood and I love that series to this day.
Hey I saw hades on your list and boy im so excited to see you react to this soundtrack it is AMAZING!
Thank you for yet another fantastic reaction video. Anyway, the volume of the BGM in this video is a little bit low; I had to turn it up to maximum to hear it.
51:05 - indeed, there's an entire investigation quest in that place!
I've been waiting for this forever AND I MISSED IT!
PAIN!
Welp, time to start watching.
This OST got a Remaster when it was remade a few years back, the drums for the boss songs are absolutely fantastic additions.
LETS GOOO BABEY!
When I played this game for the first time (it was soon after FF VII) I was off-put by the pastel graphics and not knowing what to do. But when I gave the game a second chance later ,with the help of a guide, that was when I started to really appreciate it. And when I heard music in different locations and during battles, I fell in love with the soundtrack. The one track that will always bring tears to my eyes is the one that plays at Bejeweled City ("City of Flickering Destruction") with what I like to call "tearful violin" and the sad piano. It will always remind me of all the important people in my life who had gone to the other side... and I hope I'll get to meet them someday in a happier place.
I really want to see you do SMT: Digital Devil Saga. I saw you do SMT 5 and i think you will at least partially enjoy this one too!
Still got the original ps1 copy, pretty much in mint condition too. :)
Still feels a bit strange for you to react to Legend of Mana's OST before Secret of Mana's OST. Still hoping you'll do the latter eventually, but for now, I'd like to see you react to Super Mario RPG's OST, please put this donation towards that.
Thank you for your support! This has been added to the list.
1 - for enjoying the journey
You should definitely check out the Remastered Soundtrack for this game. Almost all tracks were newly arranged with higher sound quality and even some live instruments I think.
OMG
im gonna tell my friends
Legend Of Mana
It's still wild to me that the female singer in "Song of Mana" is the same female singer in "Cotton Eye Joe."
I miss the AC/DC reactions you used to do. Good to see you doing well!
One of my favorite games, despite its many odd design choices.
Volume in this VOD was really low though . Headphones are at max volume, and it’s still hard to hear, well until the ads pop up, and blow up my ear drums.
Yoko Shimomuras underrated OST for sure
Agreed. It is genius.
Hey! Idk if you'll see this or care, but I would be so unfathomably happy if you did a TF2 OST reaction!! I loved the celeste and Terraria: otherworld reviews btw!
hey what up, i would greatly adore and appreciate if you did a reaction to Pizza Tower's OST. it is REALLY good and i think you would enjoy how much fun the composers clearly had making them.
Ok will do
@@MusicTheoryforGamers yo you da man! also thank you for everything you do fr!
Sure thing. You can vote on upcoming reactions in the community tab
This explains why Complicated Destiny, Aid (Fiery Castle), and The One Who Waits for the Breath of Destiny are my three favorite songs from this game. They're all the same chords!
Master piece OST
The Legend of Mana OST is one that is very dear to my heart. I paid a lot of money to import a copy of it from Japan over 10 years ago. No regrets!
Hey are you gonna listen to xenoblade 3 ost? it came out last week. super hyped for your reaction!
I am!
One of my favorite soundtracks from the PS1 era. When I got married we had a piano arrangement of "Places of Soul" playing while my wife walked up the aisle.
Another fun fact, the intro and ending themes are sung in Swedish (I'm from Sweden), which blew my 14 year old mind when I heard it :)
I Don't know how many times if any your been asked this but could you listen to the guilty gear strive ost
It would be awesome to hear your reaction to Katamari Damacy OST

The number of views of the video may decrease, but I would like you to also upload videos of minor game titles.
For example, the Last Bible series, Atelier series, Mystical Ninja series, etc.
Even minor games can have very good composers.
Underworld forest go hard
Please do reaction to OST of "Secret of Mana" (1995). It's one of previous part of this series. Personally Secret of Mana is more interesting (Composed by Hiroki Kikuta). My favorite theme is "Premonition" (or "Prophecy").
also somebody made piano arrange version of boss fight theme "Danger" from there. It's pretty complex stuff. I'll be glad if you check at least this one: ua-cam.com/video/-7VhWpihF80/v-deo.html
I don't even need the rest of the OST, World of Mana's the only part I need.
Deep Rock Galactic OST when?
