That's one of the lore bits I actually liked out of the Nosgoth game. Turns out Kain didn't kill them, he had Raziel cast in then bounced never to be seen again. Most likely used the Chronoplast to skip all the way to the day of his return. And Raziel's kin were killed in the clusterfuck resulting from internal power struggles and external war against the human uprising.
@@TheKain202 You mean that multiplayer game? Yes. I loved that one, too. It could have been so much more... But fans weren't going to let that one go. Plus the devs started slacking on it. Little new content, too much monetization. A tale as old as time. It tied in wonderfully with the story, though. And the playable characters all had personality.
"To know that the fate of the world hangs, dependant on the advicedness of my every deed! Could you even begin to conceive what action you would take, in my position!?
@@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique then you need to finish Defiance. Raziel cleansed Kain & the Reaver… & took his place as Kain’s Right hand, in order to cleanse & ultimately save the world together. It was Raziel’s Destiny to restore hope to Kain. Now, it’s Kain’s Destiny to restore hope to the world. Kain’s Legacy is nothing so simplistic as good or evil.
God Soul Reaver 1 was sooooo far ahead of it's time. Some of the best voice acting in gaming history, an absolutely amazing story line, characters that have stood the test of time, and one of the best soundtracks ever made. This game was flawless for the time it came out. I can't even imagine how insane SR1 would be if it would've came out with today's technology
@@kiddfaz It was the game of my childhood. I had to borrow a magazine with a guide because I was so lost. Nowadays I play it from time to time on my pc. I liked the second one too but not as much as the first one. The third I only played the first 3h. In love with the lore and the franchise.
For those who so not know. But are and were curious. Raziel would’ve evolved into a scale armored dragon gargoyle, who in the future kills Kain ☝️ Kain had a dream or a vision, seeing a winged beast kill him. But he didn’t know who it was. It was Raziel, Kain knew. Once Raziel revealed his evolution had begun 😤 First born, and the strongest evolution
I really want to see this OST on Spotify, I remember when my dad come with some PS1 games for me, one of them is this masterpiece, the other if I can remember well was Syphonfilter 3 and Dino Crisis 2, good old times.
the soundtrack was ajusted to reflect what was happening in the game, that was awesome and inovative. They injected into the audio (mid data) with whatever was going on in the game . Slower, drama, terror, etc
Great game. Good soundtrack, dialogue, graphics, mechanics, etc. Except the pathfinding. Holy shit were the levels, and some in-between level areas a real pain in the neck. Specifically the route to Rahabim territory, though that may just be down to a lousy hint. Still love the game, just wish it had ways to get your bearings better.
I agree, yet I feel like the mind breaking and bending fits into the theme of the game. Everything is confusing or an optical illusion. That being said, it's easy to get hopelessly stuck without a guide. It's like the Legend of Zelda and Silent Hill 2&3`s Hard Mode had a baby.
@@averageslytherinperson6154 With our holy wars, our obsession over Nosgoth’s domination… who better to serve me than those whose passions transcend all notions of good and evil.
The soundtrack is so good. So evocative of the environment. This song to me makes me think of an act of genocide and destruction. Your entire clan/brethren massacred by an evil person.
Ozar midrashim was composed by the Information society ( honestly there only good song in my opinion and that's without the weird monologue in the originals beginning) I dont know if they had a hand in the full soundtrack or if ozar midrashim was a jumping point for who ever did the rest of the sound track
Kain deserves to have his corrupt evil legacy destroyed. At the hands of Raziel. A Raziel that knows every trick about Kain. That if the soul reaver breaks. He’ll die and be reborn again over and over and Kain just laughs manically knowing his sons’s fates. Time for your immortality to end Kain!
If you believe that, then you understand nothing. Kain isn’t the cause of the corruption, merely the Symptom. His sacrifice wouldn’t have saved Nosgoth. All it would have done is prolong the Nosgoth’s slow death. To save it, the true source of Nosgoth’s corruption must be eliminated, and Kain, with Raziel as his Sword, is the only one capable of doing that… something he had no hope of doing. THIS is the knowledge that has tortured Kain for millennia… knowing he is the only one capable of saving the world, yet having no way to do so.
@@Kenshiro3rd Exactly. The only thing I still can't fully understand is whether Blood Omen 2 is a fantasy "what if" telling of an alternate reality, or whether it happens after Defiance and is basically the final game in the franchise, as Kain basically destroys the Hylden.
@@beelzeboss9631 You misunderstood the description it seems, it means the game is available on either of these platforms(plus DC, i suppose) PC doesn't have a dynamic soundtrack - PSone and DC use their midi chips to generate music on the fly depending on the circumstances. Meanwhile PC uses pre-recorded tracks. And as such, in this particular case -- the music never ramps up into the Ozar Midrashim arrangements when enemies are on screen and then in combat. It's not actually the most obnoxious example. The most glaring one is the Kain Boss Fights never ramping up beyond the exploration portion of the tune, so no "anticipation" and "encounter" variants.
"Utter desolation. My once-proud kin, wiped from this world like excrement from a boot.
I knew the hand that wrought this deed..."

They really need to update the game for current gen consoles but leave the story as is and use the original voice recordings.
@Velkan true, very true
I wanna see Kain lose his corrupt evil legacy by the hands of Raziel.

BRO IT IS HAPPENING! soul reaver 1 and 2 remaster coming december 2024
God Soul Reaver 1 was sooooo far ahead of it's time.

To be honest the entire franchise is next level in terms of storytelling.
@@RavusNox-z5i I concur brother!
Don't forget the open world. With no loading screens! They had to reduce its size because it was too heavy for the cd.
@@crazypills88 I completely forgot about the no loading screens. I believe Soul Reaver was one of the very first games to do that too

Raziel... you are worthy...
OF A REMASTER!
"Once more..shackled to the WHEEL of this DAMN Parasite.. Are you laughing? Abomination?"
Before his execution, Raziel's clan were said to have been the artisans, philosophers, spellbinders and tacticians of Kain's empire
Saw the recent announcement, Raziel is back, baby!!!

I loved all those games
Those 3 games are one of the best psone have
Ps1 era had no bad games, when we look at the utter crap these days
He is back soon
best ps1 game ever
Castlevania SON is the best PS1 game ever. I would also put Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid 1 above LOKSR.
Agree. Raziel ruled my childhood.
Dont forgive the first opus... Blood Omen is really Awesome !!
Fuck you jspro100!!
I will really FUCK YOU !!
This Legacy of Kain series is THE ULTIMATE BEST GAME IN THE UNIVERSE.
Amen brother
“Damn you Kain! This act of genocide is unconscionable you’re not God!”
" No, but I am a close second" -Kain
"damn you Kain you are not god! This act of genocide is unconscionable!!!"
Conscience?! You dare to speak to me of Conscience!?"
"For my transgression I earned a new kind of reward... Agony!
and the ability to consume souls
Vengeance for the Razielim! "This act of genocide is unconscionable!"
This should have more views...
and movies

this game is definitely a forgotten gem
