The scene after this battle. It's the one that makes me cry the most of all video games. Even listening to the music brings me into a session of intense crying. It hit me so hard back then, when I first played it, this game truly is the one that achieved the most to make me feel emotions for imaginary characters. Thank you, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon ❤
oh man, I remember it just hitting me. I'm normally not an emotional person, and I play games for the game, but the story of this one had me so invested, and then the goodbye just hit me so hard, and then the lonely shots of the partner returning on their own, and collapsing at the door hit me even harder, and then the scene at the beach where they had the grief trigger on a memory helped me understand the idea of grief, that just an everyday thing can trigger those emotions. I saw it articulated better afterwards that grief is like a ball in a box with a button. each time the ball lands on the button, that's pain/sadness/etc. at the start, the ball is nearly the size of the box, so it doesn't take a lot to trigger the button. over time, the ball gets smaller, so it rarely hits the button, but every now and again, it will.
The newest PMD is fine and fun, but the specific game this song is from, Explorers of Sky is a way more fun experience and generally THE PMD game people would recommend. The plot is what enamors people along with the phenomenal music and pleasant pixel art. If you were to give the series another try, Explorers of Sky can really grab you in a way the other games can't
it also has the most replay value bc of the rando and the fact that you can play as something other than a starter. EoS is the best PMD game that has been created, and it'll probably only be beaten by a DX version
100% agreed, red/blue rescue team and then explorers of time/darkness/sky were such an incredible experience to play as a kid. Still incredible to play now as an adult! Games of this quality just don't age, or if they do it's just like fine wine 🔥
I wish GTI was more popular, it has a better story, characters, and music than Sky, and it's not cap. 8/10 game trapped with 4/10 gameplay. This isn't dissing Sky, but way too many people don't give the other parts of the series (Shiren included) a try. Also ftr, GameFreak has no involvement in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, it's primarily Chunsoft (who merged with Spike later on) who works on it, but they usually have a better track record and would likely not make the same mistake.
The plot of this game is on the level of the best Final fantasys. And the music is absolutely incredible and more than salvages a fairly average gameplay to be fair.
Holy shit I didn't expect this to be voted so high but at the same time incredibly deserved. The first time I heard this theme I literally had to stop playing for an entire loop of the theme just to let it sink in, and, as the 12-13 y/o I was at the time this released, this game and this theme alongside the first PMD are the two games that made me respect video-game OSTs the amount that I do right now, and it's practically all the music I listen to nowadays, so it speaks volumes of the importance this had to me in my childhood/adolescence. Edit/PS: If you didn't shed a single tear, let alone bawl your eyes out like I did by the end of this or EoS's special episodes, you have no soul.
Explorers of Sky is my favorite game ever and I replayed explorers of time before it at least 10 times start to finish including post game. Truly a travesty that mystery dungeon isn’t as well known and loved in the fandom
This was the first game ever to legit make me bawl my eyes out. 2nd being FF crisis core on the psp. Which i hope jules covers price of freedom in the future
This music, higher than Megalovania, is just making my day. As much as I love Megalovania, Dialga's Fight to the Finish! was probably the first boss music to make me cry and feel with determination !
This is one of those notifications that literally made me go "OH SHIT" out loud!!! Soooooo excited to hear a modern cover of this track! Absolutely incredible 👀👀
I'm a temporal tower kinda guy rather than fight to the finish, but given they're basically the same I'll take this as a win. Both are amazing, and this track has the memories attached to it too.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky was the single game that made me appreciate Story telling in video games and almost another kind of media as a kid as was the first and only game I've ever cried to as a child and is one of the very few games that make me cry whenever I play them and whenever I hit the end game and hear this song I get emotional and this cover has made it an even better song which brought back all the nostalgia from when I played the game as a child
It's very, very difficult to put into words just how important this song, and the game it's from, are to me. This is a cover I ever knew I needed. Wonderful work Jules, as always.
Jules covering one of the best songs from my favorite childhood game? What an amazing treat! Beautifully done to, especially for someone who hasn't played the game and knows EXACTLY how this should feel
@@DaxWolf777 My point being that he kept the song in line with what the vibe is for it, as opposed to changing the feel and how it could be applied. Not the craziest thing, but something nice enough that Jules deserved the compliment Sorry for trying to compliment a job well done
Tbh, I'm way too fond of the pixel art. They would probably remake in in 3D, and even though the 3D in the switch PMD was very nice, I'd much rather see an adaptation to the newer console with the game basically untouched. It was so good.
@@jaimeXDgo I agree that the pixel art is peak but the artstyle and backgrounds for DX was real neato too, also the remixed music went hard which is probably my main reasoning other than wanting to introduce more people to it
@@jaimeXDgo While the pixelart has it's charm, I loved the 3D water-painting/story-book style they choose for the Rescue Team remake and would love to see them do it with Explorers as well.
A legendary track heralding an ancient, respected foe, covered by a legendary, respected veteran of youtube. A more fitting pairing, I cannot think of. Wonderful, powerful cover here Jules. Might be my favorite, and I've been watching off and on since the Super Meat Boy covers.
I'm just gonna come out and say it: This is my all-time favourite final boss theme from any game ever. Not because I think it's the greatest one ever composed (although it is an absolute banger) but because of it's significance to me. This was the song that made me a video game music afficionado in the first place, and it comes from a game that had a big impact on me. Among other things, Explorers of Sky is THE game that made me into a Pikachu fan, something that's been a key part of my online identity ever since including the pfp I've used ever since I set up a UA-cam account (which of course uses the classic pixel art from the early PMD games). Anyway, as someone who is a huge fan of this song I would like to give this cover my seal of approval. Great work as always Jules. (Also, I'd like to add that I love how this came in a place higher than Megalovania. It just goes to show how well loved this song truly is.)
I'm 22 and after _years_ of putting it aside, I finally picked Explorers of Sky and played it for the first time the other day. And man, I would have never believed that I'd become so attached to a game that's more than 15 years old at this point. It's one of those games that I legitimately feel happy to have played and will remember for a long time. Something about the unique concept of the game having Pokemon as protagonists and all, paired with a charming story and amazing soundtrack just makes the game all the more enjoyable for me even as an adult - and that ending dude, as embarrassing as it is to say, I really did feel it. 😅 Oh yeah, the cover. Fantastic job as always! You really did justice to perhaps the most exciting track in all the Pokemon series. Cheers! 🎸
When you don’t know the story context and leitmotifs behind this song: Oh dang, this song came from a Pokémon game? Awesome! It rocks. When you know the story context and leitmotifs behind this song: I CAN’T STOP FIGHTING, BUT I CAN’T STOP CRYING EITHER!
CRYING AND SCREAMING RN I LOVE THIS SONG THANKS JULES Edit: okay done freaking out. When you said you were gonna do a top 20 video game songs poll, I hoped this song would be on here so bad, as it means so much to me in a lot of ways. When I saw the likes of Hopes and Dreams and Megalovania here though, I thought it that wouldn't be the case. SO GLAD I WAS WRONG. I know you didn't really play these games but you did an awesome job anyways, thank you.
I played through Explorers of Darkness and it still holds such a strong memory for me. I think part of the reason the song resonates so much for us is the payoff of getting to the fight. It’s such a struggle and a grind to get to this part of the story. It’s somber yet energetic, truly fitting of a cathartic finale to the journey you’ve been on…no matter how it ends and whatever happens next.
God this cover does such immense justice to the song that was a cornerstone of so many childhoods. The fact that you managed to nail the vibe so perfectly without even having experienced the moment that it represents is incredibly impressive in its own right. If you viewed this as a gift to the PMD kids, I view this as an absolute banger of a Christmas coming early.
I never expected a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon to punch the heart so hard. And I never expected FamilyJules to make an epic cover from this game. Love it! I wish my Guitar skills were even a fraction as good as Jules, but I still find these to be an inspiration to me to keep practicing and trying new things.
Bro you have a nostalgia button you alone hit. I looked for the jetforce gemini medley today and i was so happy to see you still killing it. I was 17 when i first came across your stuff 13 years ago. Im happy to see you still killing it from the attic studio to this i hope youre living well
Can't Stop Crying! IDK Why but this song just hits me like a truck whenever I hear it and your cover version had me in tears the second it started. Happy Tears but tears none the less
Oh man. Oh dude this brings back so much nostalgia and so many memories. Huge wave of emotion rolled over me at the opening notes, and this whole cover is absolutely fantastic.Going to be listening to this on loop for a long while for sure
After all these years this song is still an absolute banger. Out of the PMD games, Explorers of Sky has the best story because that ending still makes me tear up everytime. Very happy that you covered this song and its an incredible cover.
I just beat this game. I played it since I got it on my 8th birthday. I beat it a few months ago, before my 14th, and my partner Pikachu having flashbacks legit made me cry. Epic cover!
I thought this was going to be a good remix, not the “greatest” but definatly a good one halfway through…. And then you started playing the chorus of the song in that low tone at the end and I nearly buckled to the floor, JESUS CHRIST that was so good!
Fantastic as always. One of my fondest memories of PMD (besides the excellent storytelling and beautiful music) was completely gimping Darkrai with a humble X-Eye Seed, leaving me to wipe out his mooks while he stumbled about like an idiot. By the time he recovered, he was alone and we could gang up on him and beat him in just a few rounds.
I love this so much, I was the one who voted for Temporal Tower on your Top 10 final levels medley all those years ago. Please give that song the justice it deserves
I only ever played blue rescue team in terms of mystery dungeons but I LOVED it and always wanted to try some of the other games great job as always good sir!
YESSSSS THE COVER WE ALL NEEDED!!! Even if you didn't play the game and don't have the context of what is really going on, it ended up great. Tho I just want to say that this game is much more than what it seems; the one you played, DX, is good for its gameplay, but the other games in the series such as Explorers (where this song comes from) have a much heavier and tied up plot that can really leave a mark if you let it to. It's ironic that it became my favourite videogame saga not for its gameplay but for everything else lol Anyway, thank you so much and great job!
The PMD games were a series of games I really wanted to play but as a kid it just never ended up happening. Thank you for reminding me I need to obtain a few of these.
Reading the description of this explains how you haven't played this game. While I can't speak for all entries, Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky is easily the most powerful entry I've played. Child me was blown away by the story and emotion, and having played it again a year ago it still holds strong. There are a lot of games out there to play, but I highly recommend it for any pokemon fan.
I've been with PMD for over a decade and this is probably the first remix of this song I've heard that is actually good. Most of them either put a crappy dance beat over the main melody or they make it overly atmospheric and forget it's supposed to be about slaying a giant metal dragon that's fighting back with all its might.
Doing this cover in November in the middle of the you know challenge is disgusting... . Jokes aside, absolute banger you pulled here, congrats and thanks for the music.
Omg i cant believe you covered this song of all songs thank you so kuch :') i srill think this is one of the best songs in video games since it somehow is both epic and very sad: epic cause it really gets you pump up to fight but also sad since literally ten minutes before the fight even started your character was told that if you save the day you were basically getting Thanos away, which caused such a bittersweet ending.
This sends me back to when I'd plug in my cheap little headphones and listen to this song on the jukebox feature in Explorers of Sky instead of going to sleep
I love this theme. This and temporal tower theme are so good. I go back and watch your top ten last area themes video a lot just for that 20 seconds of temporal tower lmao
I remember being at a big family gathering for a birthday when I beat this fight, and crying after I finished this part of the game... Man, explaining why to my parents was awkward.
ive always dreamed of hearing you cover this and its better than i ever could've imagined, thank you so much for covering such a special track for all of us
OMG!!! My favorite pmd song !!!!! Tell me I’m not the only one that got bulked up on reviver seeds. Also tell me I’m not the only that cried after this battle?
his content is some of the best on youtube in my opinion, it would be a shame if it didn't get the views that it deserved, or discovered by those would be fans, especially if it was because i didn't leave a comment to help it reach the larger audience that it deserves, may al gores rythm be fueled on this night
What the fuck kind of Coincidence is this I played this Song a few Days ago on Osu and was like "Man this could use a Metal Remix." And my Man just delivers.
good thing i had a couple spare reviver seeds, cuz this was an OHKO to my childhood, much like dialga's roar of time was to me countless times back then
Fun little story On my first run of this game I was Turtwig with a Mudkip partner. Getting to Dialga was a pain as the waves of Solrock and Porygon burnt through my items. When I got to Dialga I had nothing and got completely washed by his attacks. I gave up on the game until a few months later, where I completely reset my save and went with Cyndaquil and Mudkip. I was a smarter kid at this point and managed to keep all of my items until Primal Dialga, to which I spammed Smoke Screen and Mud Slap until the thing finally went down. Good memories.

The scene after this battle.
It's the one that makes me cry the most of all video games.
Even listening to the music brings me into a session of intense crying.
It hit me so hard back then, when I first played it, this game truly is the one that achieved the most to make me feel emotions for imaginary characters.

Genuinely can't listen to "Through the Sea of Time" without tearing up. PMD:EoD/T/S are way too good at smacking me in the feels.
Oh, come on, putting the time gears in isn't THAT sad.
It make You think about Life and How much time we have and how we effect others when we are gone.
Played it again not too long ago, even though I'm 20 I still shed a tear to this scene

Now if only they would make a dx version of EOS... But I'm also nervous that they will bdsp it and remake the original 2 without the bonus features.

I unfortunately lost my ability to cry....
I did still feel sad at the end.
This was the first game ever to legit make me bawl my eyes out. 2nd being FF crisis core on the psp. Which i hope jules covers price of freedom in the future
Primal Dialga's theme never gets old, I'm going to be 50 years old and still jamming out to it.
I guess you could say...it's timeless.
This music, higher than Megalovania, is just making my day. As much as I love Megalovania, Dialga's Fight to the Finish! was probably the first boss music to make me cry and feel with determination !
It floors me how this beat three of the most well knowns songs in Undertale. In the best way possible.
This is one of those notifications that literally made me go "OH SHIT" out loud!!! Soooooo excited to hear a modern cover of this track! Absolutely incredible 👀👀
Not me trying to hold back the excitement setting this drop while at work 🥹
Ayy I see you got great taste too! :D
Same

@@ununun9995 there's 20 seconds of it in "top 10 video game final level themes" from 7 years ago but he hasn't done it as the full song

Honestly, same hat. PMD as a whole inspired me to write and in general exposed me to fandoms at large. Sky especially.
It's very, very difficult to put into words just how important this song, and the game it's from, are to me. This is a cover I ever knew I needed. Wonderful work Jules, as always.

A legendary track heralding an ancient, respected foe, covered by a legendary, respected veteran of youtube. A more fitting pairing, I cannot think of.

Wow couldn't believe you covered this! More PMD music please (especially from Explorer of Sky)!
Bro you have a nostalgia button you alone hit. I looked for the jetforce gemini medley today and i was so happy to see you still killing it. I was 17 when i first came across your stuff 13 years ago. Im happy to see you still killing it from the attic studio to this i hope youre living well
Alright so. If the recent theme for covers is 'bangers of my childhood', where do I sign to keep it going??
This song never fails to bring me to tears and your cover is no exception! Thank you for making this wonderful cover!
Nostalgia Trip Activated
It makes me happy that my childhood game continues to be immortalized but it also makes me yearn for those days on the DS again as a kid.
EoS will always and forever be my favorite Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game ❤ with Super mystery Dungeon being a close second
Can't Stop Crying! IDK Why but this song just hits me like a truck whenever I hear it and your cover version had me in tears the second it started. Happy Tears but tears none the less
This was always such a big part of my childhood. So glad to hear a faithful yet incredible remix of the climactic final battle theme!
I know Mystery Dungeon is more niche and lesser known than mainline Pokemon, but this song in particular deserves to be WAY more popular
Explorers of Sky is my favourite Pokémon game! I’m so happy you covered this - and it sounds amazing, too! 💚
I'd love to hear Secord Dark Matter Battle!
Oh man. Oh dude this brings back so much nostalgia and so many memories. Huge wave of emotion rolled over me at the opening notes, and this whole cover is absolutely fantastic.Going to be listening to this on loop for a long while for sure
I haven't felt nostalgia chills like this in a while
Grovyle's sacrifice is a genuine touching monent and still brings tears to my eyes
I am just happy my favourite game still gets recognition and an awesome cover like this!
Damn!
Good work Jules!
This is crunchy af.
This song still slaps after all these years
Yooo! Such an epic boss theme, glad this got ranked high!
_and above Megalovania at that_
Holy shit, how did I not see you cover this until now?!?!?!? As a huge PMD lover, this rocks my soul! Amazing work man!
I was just looking at remixes for this song. Sometimes it's like these music channels can read my mind
After all these years this song is still an absolute banger. Out of the PMD games, Explorers of Sky has the best story because that ending still makes me tear up everytime. Very happy that you covered this song and its an incredible cover.
Always love seeing the music of the Mystery Dungeons games get love, they have such great soundtracks that really add to the story.
One of my favourite songs from one of my favourite games ❤
PMD has some of the best music in pokemon. I don't want to say goodbye is a banger.
I just beat this game. I played it since I got it on my 8th birthday. I beat it a few months ago, before my 14th, and my partner Pikachu having flashbacks legit made me cry. Epic cover!

This game had some amazing themes and this one is one of their standouts. Nailed it
Fantastic as always.

By the time he recovered, he was alone and we could gang up on him and beat him in just a few rounds.
I love this so much, I was the one who voted for Temporal Tower on your Top 10 final levels medley all those years ago. Please give that song the justice it deserves
I only ever played blue rescue team in terms of mystery dungeons but I LOVED it and always wanted to try some of the other games great job as always good sir!

Anyway, thank you so much and great job!
Aw man, this is such a cool surprise! I never would have expected a PMD cover but this SHREDS!!!!
I just cry at this song thinking of what happens after the fight 😭 such a banger though
i was definitely not expecting this one but so glad to see it, the PMD games are my favourite Pokémon games ever
as one of the people who have PMD in their childhood, this is LIT 🔥
didn't realize how much I need the metal version of it until now
The PMD games were a series of games I really wanted to play but as a kid it just never ended up happening. Thank you for reminding me I need to obtain a few of these.
Reading the description of this explains how you haven't played this game. While I can't speak for all entries, Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky is easily the most powerful entry I've played. Child me was blown away by the story and emotion, and having played it again a year ago it still holds strong. There are a lot of games out there to play, but I highly recommend it for any pokemon fan.
Thanks youtube for putting this in my recommandation I didn’t know I needed this but I’m glad I clicked on it ! Masterpiece !
THIS, THIS is what SHOULD'VE been Origin Dialga's theme
2:01 reminder to myself that this is probably the best thing ive heard in my life.
A top notch cover of a top notch song from THE top notch of games. Thank you for this one man, these games mean a lot to me. So dope!
I love how you included temporal tower in this
I've been with PMD for over a decade and this is probably the first remix of this song I've heard that is actually good. Most of them either put a crappy dance beat over the main melody or they make it overly atmospheric and forget it's supposed to be about slaying a giant metal dragon that's fighting back with all its might.
FUCK YEAH, MAN!!!!
Absolutely Brilliant!
Doing this cover in November in the middle of the you know challenge is disgusting... . Jokes aside, absolute banger you pulled here, congrats and thanks for the music.
Omg i cant believe you covered this song of all songs thank you so kuch :') i srill think this is one of the best songs in video games since it somehow is both epic and very sad: epic cause it really gets you pump up to fight but also sad since literally ten minutes before the fight even started your character was told that if you save the day you were basically getting Thanos away, which caused such a bittersweet ending.
My man FamilyJules doing a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon song? Absolutely based!
This sends me back to when I'd plug in my cheap little headphones and listen to this song on the jukebox feature in Explorers of Sky instead of going to sleep
It's like you're going through the entire Taia777 library and bringing it back one piece at a time. You are truly GOATED
Words can't express how I felt when I saw this in my notifications. One of if not my favourite song in the entire Pokemon franchise.
This was truly one ost gem back in its day. I'm glad I finally get to hear you cover it.
HOLY SHIT LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO!
oh man, this was one of my fav ost tracks as a child, this is such a sick cover
dude explorers of sky is so nostalgic to me, love this cover
It's one of my favorites!! Great job, I loved it!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
I love this theme. This and temporal tower theme are so good. I go back and watch your top ten last area themes video a lot just for that 20 seconds of temporal tower lmao
Was waiting for this one! I knew if you covered it I could listen to the most perfect metal rendition I could dream of!
I remember being at a big family gathering for a birthday when I beat this fight, and crying after I finished this part of the game...
Man, explaining why to my parents was awkward.
This is by far one of the best pokemon themes in the entire franchise.
This song makes me feel like I'm going to disappear...
...What, too soon?
The only downside to this incredible arrangement is that it's just over 3 minutes. Amazing job!
ive always dreamed of hearing you cover this and its better than i ever could've imagined, thank you so much for covering such a special track for all of us
The best song from one of the best video games ever made. You absolutely nailed it. Thank you so much for this amazing cover
I think this was my sign to replay this game for the millionth time! 😁
Please do what you must do!
*Roar of Time*
OMG!!! My favorite pmd song !!!!!
Tell me I’m not the only one that got bulked up on reviver seeds.
Also tell me I’m not the only that cried after this battle?
his content is some of the best on youtube in my opinion, it would be a shame if it didn't get the views that it deserved, or discovered by those would be fans, especially if it was because i didn't leave a comment to help it reach the larger audience that it deserves, may al gores rythm be fueled on this night
I love this track and you did an absolutely amazing job with it as always!
What the fuck kind of Coincidence is this
I played this Song a few Days ago on Osu and was like "Man this could use a Metal Remix."
And my Man just delivers.
I needed this today. Thanks Jules.
good thing i had a couple spare reviver seeds, cuz this was an OHKO to my childhood, much like dialga's roar of time was to me countless times back then
LETS FUCKING GO! This is one of my favorite Pokémon songs in general, from one of my favorite Pokémon games! Freaking chills!
Yoooooooo, this is so Fire! I am so happy these Games still get love ^.^
Fun little story
On my first run of this game I was Turtwig with a Mudkip partner. Getting to Dialga was a pain as the waves of Solrock and Porygon burnt through my items. When I got to Dialga I had nothing and got completely washed by his attacks. I gave up on the game until a few months later, where I completely reset my save and went with Cyndaquil and Mudkip. I was a smarter kid at this point and managed to keep all of my items until Primal Dialga, to which I spammed Smoke Screen and Mud Slap until the thing finally went down. Good memories.
Still waiting for a remake. WON'T LOSE HOPE!!
This actually brought me to tears. Awesome work dude, thank you for this!
What a phenomenal cover of one of the most phenomenal tracks in the Pokémon franchise. I LOVE THIS! ❤🤘
Those lead harmonies just hit different man. Amazing rendition!!
