I always assumed that this was the pilot embracing either his daughter or a love interest upon returning home. We never got much of a story but a picture is worth a thousand words.
Same here. After surviving his suicide mission he returns and he embraces the love of his life. I can feel the relief from what we see of the blokes face!
There is a Sega game magazine from the early 90's that also explains their backgrounds in more detail (including the pilots from TF2 and TF3) but it's only available in japanese
@@hotrod_hornet Unfortunately I don't know but I can share you some links which contain interesting material that I found on the internet if you want (mostly photos and a old TFIV website)
It seems like well past the point of caring, but after hearing this song and this mix of it, I'd wanted to sing overly-gutsy power ballad lyrics over this back in 2012, and the song would be called "The Final Last Eternal Destiny Power Forever Tonight, Part Four." No previous songs or anything tied to it, the idea was to have it be purely superlative at every inch.. if I could get my first laptop running again, I think the lyrics are in there still..
@@theotheraccount hey, me again~ I actually did, but the battery's fucked so I'm in the process of tracking a replacement down. If you need a placesetter for how it probably sound, look up "Edge of a Dream" by Steve McClintock. Certain nerds might recognize this one too.
That's weird!! I usually leave a comment if I find a hidden gem, to think it's been 11 years since I stumble upon this cover ha!! Marvelous, feels like thousand Gargoyle Divers exploded in an instant.
This is amazing! Its so beautiful how you interpret and expand the original! And it brings back so many distant memories... Thank you for creating this!
ouah l'une des meilleurs cover (sinon la meilleur) de cette ending sublimissime!!! 'en même temps ce louper sur la bande son de ce jeux cultissime aurait été une hérésie^^) bravo seb t'as assuré.
I found - and got - a ship in _No Man's Sky_ that looks very, very similar to the _Thunderforce IV_ ship. Thought I'd share that for no good reason whatsoever.
The original Megadrive track is the best and will never be beaten to me. But You remind me with your comment that I have to makea new version of this cover with a better actual mix. Thanks for the reminder!
sebdoom I agree. The original is the best. It has the most punch. As far as the best cover, it's this one. I've heard Toshiharu's covers and Tsukumo Hyakutaro's and nothing comes close to yours.
As spell-binding as the romance of space itself! sir, you have done this song and the age it comes from fitting tribute with this mix, it's a sound that can rarely be emulated or translated... yet here it is! too many geniuses are born into the wrong ages these days and too few artists remain.
@sebdoom Late reply following about a week away. Excellent news! Metal Squad is classic and My Lover is among my favourite melodies from all music and not just games.
I didn't have a problem with the intro. Infact it almost sounded like the guitar and the electronic noises were conflicting, which was awesome. Once again, straight to my iPod!
@BlondeJusticeLives Thanks. I'm gonna buy a Yamaha Fb-01 expander, so I'll have the almost same sounds of the Genesis. This will be real FM synthesis, like on the YM2612 on the Megadrive, nothing to do with the sounds I use for now. Combined with metal it should sound quite interesting.
@darksungames Yep I agree, the first part sounds weird, plus the lead guitar melody is badly played, as I'm more a keyboard player than a guitarist unfortunately. This is why there will be a third a last version of this cover, when I'll receive the expander that will allow me to reproduce fidel megadrive sounds.
@BlondeJusticeLives Yep. I think it will sound better too if I use a slap bass sound, rather than the conventional distorted actual metal bass, you know like in the 80s and in most of Megadrive musics.
Almost 10 years, this Is truly a masterpiece.

That's not Roy S. Mercury here...
He and Carol T. Mars didn't managed to go back home. But they are safe.

I love the choice of picture for the video. It's the picture I always most associate with the end credits of Thunderforce IV.
Agreed classic game nothing tops it!
@@SteliosStylianouSoldier Blade on the PC Engine is far superior both in graphics and music.
THE RYNEX WILL NEVER DIE
Everytime I hear this song...I imagine some epic power metal vocals.
Am I the only one?
Nope I completely agree!🙂👍

Can listen to this track over and over again best rendition of a classic ending tune Thunderforce 4 is the greatest of all shoot em up games!
That's weird!! I usually leave a comment if I find a hidden gem, to think it's been 11 years since I stumble upon this cover ha!!
Marvelous, feels like thousand Gargoyle Divers exploded in an instant.
Old but gold
ARGH THIS VERSION ROCKS THE UNIVERSE!!
You can kinda say that😊
This music masterpieces

For all of you heavy metal fans I proudly Introduce you to thunder force IV
Best metal themes for any game ever, even DOOM 2016 doesn't come close.

This is amazing! Its so beautiful how you interpret and expand the original! And it brings back so many distant memories... Thank you for creating this!
Mind = blown.
The rewarding part of this awesome game the ending music. !
modern devs should take note. very rare these days
I keep listening tot his. It does sound incredible. Love the crunching guitar and percussion. And the synthy stuff.
Man, love this track. Great work. Gonna make a new CD for my car just to put this song on it. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world.
WHAAAAT?! THIS IS AWESOME!! How have I never heard this until now?

my ship in no man's sky is called Rynex fire leo...
@fallenlino Yes freshly recorded, thanks. We all love TFIV especially for its music I guess ;)
CLAP, CLAP, CLAP. AWESOME SEBDOOM!
I surprised this doesn’t have more views, especially with how epic it sounds! Great work !
We need more views for this!
It's just too fuckin amazing. Not even the original composer (Toshiharu Yamanishi?) can top this cover!
The original Megadrive track is the best and will never be beaten to me. But You remind me with your comment that I have to makea new version of this cover with a better actual mix. Thanks for the reminder!
sebdoom I agree. The original is the best. It has the most punch.
As far as the best cover, it's this one. I've heard Toshiharu's covers and Tsukumo Hyakutaro's and nothing comes close to yours.
Toshiharu made which covers?

too many geniuses are born into the wrong ages these days
and too few artists remain.
More extreme epicness!
This is a vastly improved version over the first version. Simply amazing how much better. Best cover of this song I've heard.
wooow!! this version rocks! great one!
The best cover on your site
@sebdoom Can't wait for it! This is one of my (numerous) prefered track of this game. The ending theme... at the time just wonderful!
is just what you always wanted to hear someday... now im FAN
Awesome game cool video!🙂
Wooow Impresive 👏👏👏👏👏, thank you 💪💪
WTF! YOU made this? HOLY SHIT THIS IS FUCKIN AMAZING! Thunder Force 4 is my favorite game all because of the music!
Awesome AF!
best track in the game
Dude, you are fucking God. This is the greatest Thunder Force cover in history.
Do you take requests?
I'm considering suggestions, yes? :D
I have a video called Suggest Me Covers, for the request sections
This song cures illnesses
Yes!!
Ah a new version of the cover that caused me to sub you. Nice! Sounds better too.
THUNDER FORCE IV EVER!
@sebdoom Late reply following about a week away. Excellent news! Metal Squad is classic and My Lover is among my favourite melodies from all music and not just games.
@BlondeJusticeLives Working right now on a new version of Metal Squad, with the same new spirit, more metal. And on My Lover from Shinobi too.
I didn't have a problem with the intro. Infact it almost sounded like the guitar and the electronic noises were conflicting, which was awesome. Once again, straight to my iPod!

@sebdoom Oh...huh. I never got that response. Oh, well, I did now! I'll send you the link when the video's done! Thanks again!
FOKIN EPIC,200time im here,s0 a comment is needed!! great stuff,nothing but love!!!!
Musica do caraiu

@MetalCrotch Wow thanks man. Though the original will remain the perfection for me.
You miss the best part. Slide at 1:06!
I like old version of this cover
Je connais pas du tout le jeu mais en tous cas le morceau ou du moins TON morceau est génial! =D
@sebdoom Combined with metal it should sound quite gorgeous.
@PantslessShorts Hello Aaron, I've already answered you for your proposal some days ago, I agree. Maybe you prefer use this version?
Do you have tabs for 5:07, I'm obsessed with how good it is
Sorry I don't have tabs
This is not Stand Up Against Myself😢 it's Stand Up For Glory🔥

@BlondeJusticeLives Yep. I think it will sound better too if I use a slap bass sound, rather than the conventional distorted actual metal bass, you know like in the 80s and in most of Megadrive musics.
The first time i heard this, I went FUCK YEAH!!!!!!
shinobi,my lover still my fav,but damn man,s0 f0kin epic,*)
@sebdoom Yeah bass is easier to make go along with music and get a better sound, unlike guitars.
this the best version, respect the original and is better!!!!!!!!!"
Can I like it 1 gazillion of times?
Le lien de téléchargement est cassé... Il n'y aurait pas un autre moyen?
Excellent
Cependant une question me brûle les lèvres : comment as tu fais pour trouver les tabs (j'ai eu beau chercher en vain je n'ai rien trouvé)?
I'm not able to download and play the MP3 using the link in the description..?
Right Click the link and click Save as
really awesome although the synth at the beginning blows out the guitar. you almost lose the whole melody.
Cool, but too much reverb, it makes losing sound brilliance.
