When you climb the Gendarme mountain... see all the places you have gone to... go higher and higher, and see how small all those locations... And then you get at the top, gazing on the gorgeous view of what you conquered... and then you drop your jaw from the view on the other side. Those temples... those giant mushroom-like trees... you realize that all that transpired before was just the beginning... and the REAL Adventure starts now. Gendarme is kinda like Darm Tower in Ys I and II. The pinnacle which divides beginning from the real stuff.
You're bang on right there. Kinda cool how they used that summit as a metaphor in so many ways. I was seriously like "WTF?" when I saw what was on the other side! Awesome stuff.
Gendarme is like one of my favorite dungeon in jrpgs. You climb up the huge ass mountain while avoiding the primordials and when you reach the top and watch the gorgeous view of the island from above, all your hard work is paid off.
I don't think anyone could fathom how epic a midgame could be until you reach the top of this mountain having had this blasting in your ear the whole way, finally seeing past the summit, and reflecting on how epic your journey has already been.
You known what's crazy ? Starting from 1:35 the main chorus has the tempo of the main theme in a thrash metal version, evident by that little tune to end the main theme in 2:00. If you heard the main theme many times, you'll know that little tune plays in the end of the main chorus to close it off. This right here is thrash metal greatness. Considering gendarme's the turning point of the story and what we find on the other side, this is perfect. I'm a newcomer to the series. I liked how this game looked like an anime game from the 2000s and boy I didn't regret it. Definitely a Ys fan now
I'd say this is more power metal style. Japanese composers especially for video game soundtracks love to use a thing called leitmotif. It's a reuse or a reoccurring existing theme implemented but they often transition well but they change the key signature, can be darker or brighter.
I made it to the summit this evening. The view was incredible. To think I have only explored half of the island so far. I also found it incredibly satisfying to finally be able to kill Primordials after you obtain the Orichalchum weapons. And finally killing Avalodragil as well in the raid.
I did'nt imagine one minute what's awaited me behind the other side of the Big Mountain. The progression is so incredible and always surprising since the beggining until the end. This Ys will be memorable for a decade in the franchise history.
This is my first ever Ys game and I've yet to come across a single track that feels like filler. Every single one has been incredible. I love this game so much!
I played this game for the first time about a year ago…my 2nd Ys game. It is absolutely incredible. I’m planning on playing it again very soon. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Man, it's nice to see new fans of Ys 8! It's definitely my favorite, but I highly recommend you play Ys 9: Monstrum Nox now, it's such a banger of a game too!
It's in the DNA of this franchise, EVERY (or a good part) of the Y's has a very good soundtrack. Y's I, II, Wanderers, Oath in Fhelgana, Origin, Seven, Mask of Sun, Memories of Celceta...
When games boast that you can climb a mountain I don't want to literally just climb up a mountain. I want to weave in and out of its intricacies whilst being enamored by the flora and fauna that inhabits it: The rolling rocks that threaten my path, the crumbling segments that give way beneath my weight, and the vicious encounter that awaits at its peak. Only then can you truly appreciate the view because it shows how far you've come. Then you stare off into the unknown on the other side of the mountain and realize there are new secrets to discover.
Have to admit I didn't like this theme when I first heard it here in YT. Someone mentioned it was better compared to Desert After Tears. Even when I played through Gendarme Mountain. ....AAAAAND it grew on me. :)
@@MaskedKingDavid He just keeps powering up! We (or at least I) also know almost nothing about him. It might be because of Falcom's policy or just him appreciating privacy but still the guy is pretty mysterious.
@@CS2Malk Honestly, out of all Falcom's internal composers I think we know the least about him. Several of the ex-composers have social media accounts, Koguchi's introduction interview is up on Falcom's site, and even Sonoda got interviewed a while back, but Unisuga? There isn't much on him. As far as I know, the most we've got is an old interview which I can't find.
@@MaskedKingDavid Falcom seems to not appreciate their composers acting in public. My biggest fear is that Koguchi will replace completely Unisuga since I can't see any room for him right now.

Кейти Тамира yoo that's legit how it feels.
Absolutely spot-on.
Perfect summary

Yes that's exactly how I feel.
It's like the music force you to kill primordials even we're not supposed to do it LOL
And it just makes it all that much more sweeter when you smite them with Orichalcum weaponry.
I run away from Primordials when I hear this sound. Lol
@@johnlloydbigmac i did too but i came back later and slept then all and it felt amazing
Im starting to hate here after escaping egg night hunt

....avoiding? You didn't clear the entire dungeon systematically fighting tooth and nail for 2-3h?

I play this music when fighting NISA customer support.

Your first taste of a really cool view of Seiren, matched only by what you see on the other side.
This is so unnecessarily good. I love it
Yes, it has no right to be this good, but man!
Jakub Sobieski it's falcom,they know how to make great music.
That's why i love Japanese games! They have lots of unnecessary things that are so epic!

Immaculate composition, absolutely one of Unisuga's best. The intense arrangement with the drums and guitars is excellent.
This is my first ever Ys game and I've yet to come across a single track that feels like filler. Every single one has been incredible.
I love this game so much!

Might as well enjoy it as much as you can the later games have gone downhill in terms of music quality and it's not good anymore
Man, it's nice to see new fans of Ys 8! It's definitely my favorite, but I highly recommend you play Ys 9: Monstrum Nox now, it's such a banger of a game too!
I have no words to express how amazing this track is.
Love the game so much and this is one of the ones that keeps a person hanging out in the same area for awhile. So good. Very Vinnie Moore-ish.
Considering just "standing around" heals you in the field, yeah there's incentive to just stay still and take in the sights and sounds.
@@AloisAgos Remember that Gend'armes is a dungeon. In dungeons standing still doesn't recover the party's health
My favorite PSVita game. Excelent game+epic music= can't stop playing
(shouting over the music) I WISH MY MAN DOGI WAS PLAYABLE!!!
That would have been very cool!
Maybe in Monstrum Nox he will be
However, Sahad was a worthy substitute, (and Dogi in Ys VIII doesn't look like Dogi anyway).
Same. he's awesome
@@Jordan3DS i love Dogi's ys VIII look. but i getcha
That one part that goes so fast in melody. I love it so much.
YS tracks are always the best.
Honestly this game has a DISGUSTINGLY underrated soundtrack.
Underrated? I rate it very highly!
I don't think anyone rate Falcom's music low lol, almost everyone praises their music.
I think you mean disgustingly unknown
@@mpmedia6735 yeah that’s a more apt description!
Everyone who knows it loves it.
Too bad not everyone knows.
So this is the song for the final boss of the game? a friend asked.
No, it's just a song while going on a hike.
:!
Best hike ever
It's in the DNA of this franchise, EVERY (or a good part) of the Y's has a very good soundtrack. Y's I, II, Wanderers, Oath in Fhelgana, Origin, Seven, Mask of Sun, Memories of Celceta...
climbing mountain never feel this good
1:35, can't believe a rocky song can stir up such emotions ;)
I know right? The song would kick ass even without that, but no. This is some YS shit right there.
O dios mio !! cuando estas de bajón esto te mete un CHUTE de adrenalina que flipas !
Ys games always had soundtrack bangers.
とても、確信的に勇気を貰える曲だと思う。前に進める
the chorus loop is too addicting
This guitar solo is so Helloween/Angra! I love it!
Love that drum fill at 2:27
This reminds me of Blaze Heatnix. Same pace, same instrument ? What more, both are good...
i really love this song!
I discovered the Y's Franchise due to this song being mapped for osu. So glad I bought this game.

the first five seconds always hooked me up
A-MA-ZING SONG! What a banger
My favorite soundtrack is the best
Easily my favorite Ys 8 song
Reminds me of Yngwie Malmsteen, a Swedish guitarist.
What a powerful instrumental,keep doing this jobs,are amazing
Muy buen tema musical!!! Parece de jefe final!🎉🎉🎉
Take that Final Fantasy this is music :)
Yep falcom is 1000x better :)
Dogi : lead
Duren : bass
Sahad : drum
Vocal: Adol
@@markjoseph6243 I just thought in my head ''but this song has no vocals" then after 3 seconds I understood and went "ohhhhh..."
Very clever.
@@LunarTactician hahaha That was the first thing that crossed my mind when I questioned where Adol was in the band.
@@markjoseph6243 I get it. Adol is a silent protagonist. That makes sense xD
I could be way off, but this sounds like a metal as fuck remix of the original Ys field theme.
이 음악도 상당히 좋지
Dana❤❤❤
Have to admit I didn't like this theme when I first heard it here in YT.
Someone mentioned it was better compared to Desert After Tears.
Even when I played through Gendarme Mountain.
....AAAAAND it grew on me. :)
Couldn't help trying to kill everything here lol
1:34 and beyond is what I'm here for.
Best battle theme ever
Amazing

The downvoters have no taste whatsoever
Frankly, I simply ignore the dislikes.
They're bots.
I mean c'mon. It's so good.
L'aventure !!!!
A l'aventure compagnons !
En avant mes compagnons!
I feel like a train with this LOL
갓-다름
This theme made me feel like i could go SSJ vs the Primordials.
esp when 1:33 hits
This has the same feel as mechanical rythm from xenoblade 1
lol I was thinking the same thing while playing the game. Two good ass games
@@zeedzn1080 indeed classics even

"Playmaker!"
I was waiting for a boss to appear
If you play this while I'm near a mountain I might do something stupid
This is Mega Man level good.
SoncTheHedgehogMaker I'm playing this game right now the music just wow speechless , I rate this game at least 8.5 out of 10
SoncTheHedgehogMaker this is like all megaman series merged into one song
zsaber20 nice thinking . Soundtrack amazing , look up on UA-cam I think the band is called Jdk team
Falcom JDK
Why do people compare every Ys track to Mega Man smh.
0:33 This reminds me of "Beasts of Prey" from Star Ocean 2

Unisuga is OP. I'm pretty sure that's something anyone with an understanding of music and objectivity will agree is a fact.
