This isn't just X's theme. To me, this was my VERY FIRST Megaman X song that I ever had the honor of listening to, and ever since then I've associated this theme with the entire series as a whole. All the musical elements are here and it's represented so well in this epic synth driven song that not only shows you that the music is pure genius and is incredibly well composed, but also sets the tone for the rest of the game.
i'm in the 2021 and i still love this music very much i first played all the megaman x though megaman x6 when i was young though my nintendo gamecube console by the name of megaman x collection and i say megaman x4 is my favorite game to play alot :)

The theme song for those with a nearly infinite amount of destructive power who know how to use it, yet are still holding on to their last bit of innocence and dreams.
This is such a perfect song for both the series and for X. The melancholy melody reflects X's reluctance to fight but it's still fast paced rock that perfectly fits the gameplay. X4 was a work of art.
@@memzl.g.7249 I know this section is hella old but X did save the world for centuries while homeboy Zero was taking a nap and even ruled for a while before giving up on everything and watching from the backstage as implied by the Zero series, if only capcom would give us an elf wars game...
X4 was the turning point of the series. adding key story elements, better graphics, even better frickin gameplay, amazing soundtracks cosidered to be the best in the series, new EVERYTHING, it was gorgeous, and is the best x game evah. X Forever!
Aaron Chavez the only thing this game really needs is better voice acting; I still like the game with the cheesy VOs and I think it's just slightly better than it was in MM8, but it still could've been better
As far as story goes atleast I wouldn't say it was as big a turning point as the original X on SNES was, and either X5 or Zero 1 was a close 2nd. I think MM8 is up there as well.
Definitely check out Zero’s Voice Actor from X8 onwards doing the Iris death scene it’s actually good. It’ll never be as iconically cheesy as the original, but it is very well done.
Man this music hits so... Different, it looks like it came from another world, it is so much different from any other music i ever heard, its so futuristic with the ps1 electronic instruments, and yet so old. Its like if the music represented what people thought about the future in the 90s or 80s, like flying cars, or neon colored cities and more stuff of the kind, dunno if it is just me or there are more people that feels like that.
This song TRULY represents X the Blue Bomber: a kind hearted anti-war pacifist that wants to live in a world where humans and reploids live in full harmony and with NO WAR!!!! But whenever Sigma the King of Mavericks threatens that peace, he wil fight for both justice and protecting the innocents!!!!!👍
While I agree that X4 is definitely one of the franchises highest notes, I just want to point out that Mega Man is a pretty consistent franchise, and there were numerous high points afterwards, Regardless of how you feel about the non-traditional styles of Battle Network, Star Force, and Legends, They are all very well made titles with good mechanics of their own, and even though they genre jump, the core of the franchise is still intact in all of them. Games like Mega Man Powered-Up, Mega Man Zero 3, Mega Man ZX, Mega Man Battle Network 3, Mega Man Star Force 3, and Mega Man Legends 2, hit just as hard as X4, they just tend to get ignored because people got burnt out on Mega Man after the PlayStation era, due to Capcom over-saturating the market with it. The titles themselves were still quality besides stuff like X5-X7, but when you over expose a franchise on a market people begin to lose interest, it's unfortunate but it happens.
Me: Starts up literally the 12th game in the series Also me: "This is going to start with a silent message centerscreen reminding me to get ready isn't it" This game, REALLY LOUDLY: *_"READY!!!"_* Me: :o
For the longest time, Zero's intro stage was my favorite. I was even able to play it on rhe piano. But now, honestly ever since Project X Zone, I've grown to love this song, even more than Zero's. Maybe its the Megaman love in me but this song is just so much more powerful for me now. Zero's theme was total action. This song has a much more emotional feel, a weight to it.
You can feel the weight and stress of having to deal with mavericks causing a floating city to fall and kill innocent civillians in this song versus Zero's theme
Essa música é a definição de Megaman X para mim: toda a emoção, toda a ação e determinação de X contra a loucura dos andróides Mavericks. Muitas lembranças e boas memórias. Saudade define, o que foi um dos melhores momentos do início da minha vida "gamer". Direto pra ação!
I agree, this one is the better of the two, in X5 Zero's intro theme was the better of the two but I think this theme also beats Zero's X5 theme, regardless of that Megaman X had such amazing OSTs.
Feels particularly familiar yet is also refreshing, as there is a hype buildup in the first 30 seconds, then comes a very iconic techno melody that soundly harkens back to the tone of earlier opening themes; probably to herald the return of the series in a trademark fashion while also signifying a turning point/new chapter in the entire saga.
Megaman X4 was my first ever megaman game, i remember when my cousin gave me copies of his games and this was one of them, i entered the game without knowing anything about it, but when i heard this theme.. i knew this game was going to be awesome.
Parker Peters Well in X5 and X4 you can get plasma shot and trust me that thing is broken as fuck. X5 if you pick Zero first you dont get 4th armor and you dont get the plasma shot. But Zero has an easier time with bosses.
loyalswordsman Haha yeah true that. I always spammed Crescent sword, E-Blade and Quake Blazer with Zero. I just personally think X was harder to use in those games because Zero was so agile.
this truly set the tone for X as a charecter..people may complain that he's a whiny charecter but really he's a paciffist theres nothing wrong with not wanting to kill someone geez
Yep. This is very magnificient song. I thought after X3 I was bit skeptical to move on to Saturn, but when this music started... it just blew my mind =)
This waa the first Mega Man game I played where, for the longest time, I couldn't beat a single boss! Even now, knowing the strategies, X4 has the most challenging Mavericks in the series in my opinion.
This song perfectly captures X's character. Heroic but with a bit of tragedy.

Same bro, my father give me this game when I was 3 years old (that was my first game) and I was really noob. Now I speedrun the game in 53 minutes
It is because the tone or style of this music is so beautiful that no one can say it's bad .This music feel me that someone is telling a cute story.

Even after all these years this is still fire.
X4 was my introduction to Mega Man.
"Take this!"
Hello Rockman X
XD
When Megaman was at its best.
so true
This, in my opinion, was the last high-quality Mega Man title until X8. Haven't played Command Mission or the Zero series yet.
U1GX PS4 playing zero is worth
Curious George the Zero series? I've purchased the games on Wii U but haven't actually touched them yet. Blasphemy, I know.

That Trav Guy explained X's character as hating violence but hating injustice even more, which I think is a perfect way of explaining it.

Very well put. Especially the part about it being more powerful and emotional. Perfect way to describe it compared to Zero's theme.
Specially considering X has dealt with extreme emotional distress at having to fight mavericks and wanting peace.

The Will
The Grit
The Determination
The Heartache
X4 was just different man.
I never realized how great this track was, I was always focused on playing the game to listen.
X intro stage music is WAY better than Zeros sound track intro stage.
by far
As a zero fan . I can agree with this
Departure is good tho.
I’d say they’re equally amazing. I used to think Zero’s was better bcuz I hardly used X in the game but started lovin this one just as much.
I agree, this one is the better of the two, in X5 Zero's intro theme was the better of the two but I think this theme also beats Zero's X5 theme, regardless of that Megaman X had such amazing OSTs.
Esa linea de bajo es simplemente increíble
confirmo tremendo temazo para X
This is so nice, my favorite theme for megaman X4
Definitely the best theme for X and the best track of X4 as a whole,so catchy and heroic...it really signifies the beginning of a great journey.
I’ve been blessed with 2 minutes of awesomeness! ^o^
Bring back my childhood! ASAP!
I think they did X4 is now available for PSN on PS3 and Vita

And now, we shall give thanks to Project X Zone.
For giving us badass music.
That game has an amazing soundtrack across the board.
FynalZ0ne Amen. *raises glass of apple juice, because, why not* Cheers!
Zero's stage has a nice theme, but I always liked this one better. In X3, it's the other way around.
That bassline intro will always pull my hair up. what a shock from the previous series
After all these years... I am just now discovering this is a remix of the X1 highway stage
The intro to this song is the most badass part
ran into x finally on project x zone. i heard this theme pop up and all these memories came flodding back
This is awesome, it's so stand out that it becomes MMX team's bgm in Project X Zone.
I always come back to listen to this, its stuck in my head, its part of my gaming life, its just too good, i miss megaman x games. :')
Forget you Zero, X is the man!
Im more Zero guy but I do love X.....
X is good for everyone
Zero is more for the experts
Yeah it says that on the character select screen but honestly, x4 and x5 were way easier if you played as Zero. Hes fast and strong as hell.

I can't stop listening to it......
X4 was the first game I got for PS1 and I've loved X ever since!!
X>Zero>Axl>sigma
1:44 They literately took out the final part of the tune on the PS4 version due to the fact that the music no longer fades out and then repeats.
I never noticed until now just how massive X’s boots are
I have absolutely no idea why this song becomes viral in 2024 as the bgm for LOL montages. It really brings back memories.
this truly set the tone for X as a charecter..people may complain that he's a whiny charecter but really he's a paciffist theres nothing wrong with not wanting to kill someone geez

And I’m thankful

UFF MASTERPIECE!!
*IM ON MY WAY!*

I hope they use this music as X Theme!
i hope the game uses team music themes, that would work great for a team of X and zero just like it did in Project X Zone 1.
Shitty game shitty history shitty music.
"Oh no... This is horrible, the city is totally destroyed, there were so many innocent people.... they won't get away with this!"
Me at 6 am, when it's time to get dressed and start my day:
"It's time to get serious" "AHHH AHHH AHHH AHHH AHHH"
Intro gives me chills every time. :]
This will always be my favorite X's intro stage theme. Way better than his X5's intro.
0:00- 0:02 ahhhh that bass❤
