If I had to pick just one location from the Prime Trilogy to show people how unbelievably good its art direction was... I would show them Elysia. Everything is running in perfect synergy, the music, the visuals, it's a complete set.
ImNot Jesus I can navigate it now rather easily, but in my earlier playthroughs of the game, I would often find myself heading the wrong way due to the identical looking room layouts and themes. I used to especially find building the theronian bomb harsh because of this, as well as I would have to hike all the way to a save station (There are like 2 in Skytown) if I needed to go somewhere or wanted to play a different game, for I could not simply go to a landing site and call my ship. I used to dread Skytown, but learned to like it after a few playthroughs.
Daniel Jones True. And in that one I believe you don't have a map either :O. Those two are the ones that stump me, Skytown and a lot of the Original Metroid. (Although I have the patience to go through Skytown.)
SkyTown is definitely the most confusing area in the whole game, my first playthrough, I spent several hours trying to build the bomb and getting lost because every area in SkyTown was extremely similar to each other. However, even though it was a Nightmare to get through, I am happy I spent the time I did there, made me love the music even more. Nowadays, however Navagating SkyTown is much less of a chore, but not without frequently checking my map, otherwise I'd easily get lost. Just keep in mind most of the bomb parts are near the ship upgrade landing site which is on the other side of SkyTown. Unfortunately the last bomb part is near the start which is a fair bit of backtracking which allows more opportunities to get lost.
Indeed. I loved reading about the Elysians. It brings me so many feelings and emotions. It genuinely leaves a feeling of emptiness, regret, sadness, and remembrance.
Skytown, in a few words, made me feel lonely. I'd fly back to the Federation Base just to see other people to shake off the feeling of isolation the forgotten city in the sky would give me.
+Daniel Jones I get what you're saying. I think it still kinda makes you feel lonely in the fact that might have 3 friends at the beginning, but you lose them all slowly throughout the game. Not only are you slowly starting to become more alone, but YOU are the one that has to kill your friends. Awesome game though.
Loneliness and isolation are key themes of the Metroid franchise. Out of the three Prime titles, nowhere was this felt as strongly as in the first game imo. Prime 3 has a bit of hand holding, but not as much as to become a nuisance. Skytown, compared to other regions, evokes a sensation of awe, intrigue, and melancholy. There's a beauty, serenity to the place, amidst the abandonment and decay.
You know, nobody would probably admit it, but perhaps Columbia of Bioshock was heavily influenced by Skytown. Unless before Metroid Prime 3 came out there was already a floating city with rails, made out of lots of little ships rather than a giant literal city, I think this a valid theory. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's a copy, and even if it is I still love Bioshock, but it's quite sad nobody else noticed this.
I agree bioshock was influenced by metroid prime. The way you use the thunder to reactivate doors is very similar to the ways you use the wave beam. They are both first person adventures, you actually get to find power ups and better gear, In metroid prime you can scan to read the logs, in bioshock you pick them up And of course the big similarities between columbia ans skytown
@@Weird_Alchemist42 I would've guessed he meant Mario Kart, but switched the Mario with "Super Smash" because Mario doesn't normally have crossovers. (Not quite sure but when he wrote the comment the first crossover Mario Kart 8 DLC might have not even been announced.)
Skytown...Such a lonely, forgotten and empty place. This soundtrack and the backstory of Skytown, adds a great element of sadness and regret. Stories of a forgotten Struggle...stories of a once lovely placed, now only filled with an abyss of emptyness. As you walk down the halls or gaze upon the beauty of it's mechanical structure and view, one cannot help but to feel pity or despair, for the "people" that once were..and the comrades you had to fight to the death.
It's so well written. I genuinely felt emptiness inside me when reading the lore of the Elysians. How they talk about their godly "Creators"... So deep.
I could be wrong but doesn't Samus come back to this planet at the end to reminisce about her lost friends? I think what you said here is a spot on description of Skytown.
I'm so excited that Nintendo handed over Prime 4 to Retro. That will ensure that Metroid Prime 4 will be good (I don't know if it will be as great as the trilogy)
I don't know, it's weird. Reading the comment section below makes me think that most people felt a sense of loneliness and isolation while traveling through Skytown, but I never felt that way. I wanted to find a way to help the city live, maybe even thrive, and not let it sink beneath the clouds below. I couldn't stand Ghor abusing the city's system, nor the pirates taking advantage of their buildings. I was madly infuriated because such beauty and peace needed to be preserved if only for our minds' sake, knowing that it would stay there, safe and breathing. When reviewing this location, TH-camrs and what not usually got upset to see that there wasn't much challenge in the enemies there, and I felt like they kinda missed the point: Skytown has no more energy to sustain his soldiers with, so it is forced to build them weak and fragile. It's like a baby or an elder trying to defend what they love the most - home- and pitifully failing. After all of this, how could you not want to help what you grew to love yourself?
I agree with this. However, the lore of the Elysians is what makes people feel lonley and sad. Can't remember all of it but they talk about how they were left behind by their creators and how the spent years just self-sustaining while waiting for their creators to come back. It's a pretty sad story right away. The music helps with this as well. At least for me, the theme makes me feel like we're standing on a place that used to be majestic but just isn't anymore. It brings me a feeling of regret and remembrance of a better time that can't and won't come back.
Adding choir voices to any track just makes it so much better. I like how everything is offbeat, but on beat at the same time. And those church bells reminds me of the ending of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time where Navi is flying into the light in the Temple of Time.
This music fits so well with Elysia. Actually it's one of my favourite places in the Prime series, thanks largly to this gorgeous tune. Btw did Elysia remind anyone of those sky leval tracks in Star wars episode one racer ?
Uh, I could swear I remember reading in some lore in Prime 1 that a few Chozo on Tallon IV did indeed survive and pursue a home elsewhere. The Chozo Ghosts that attack Samus on Tallon IV are only the "Turned" Chozo (I believed that's what the lore referred to them as), those which were corrupted by Phazon.
PiesCanFly jup it’s in the manual and in prime 3. The tallonian chozo that survived the Crash, corruption and contamination of the leviathan on tallon iv left the planet for an unknown destination
All us fans patiently await the arrival of the next game. Retro Studios have working on a new title for NX for ages now, MP Fed-Force [while Garbage] teased the return of Sylux for Prime 4. Don't get your hopes up too high, but I have a feeling this is gonna happen. : )
sorry guys but it's not coming back for a while and if a good Metroid does ever come out it's not going to be the same at all with retro out of the picture.
I stood on that first outside platform for a good ten minutes, just taking in this new enviornment. Such a powerful level. You really felt the presence of something evil in a mechanical world of serenity.
This song reminds me of both the Crashed Space Pirate Frigate from the first Metroid Prime and The End of the World from Kingdom Hearts. They both sound very similar to this (just without the electric guitar bit near the end.)
Actually, the Metroid prime Series takes place BEFORE the Events in Super Metroid, or even Metroid 2: Return of Samus. I'm half expecting the next major power Samus has to face will be the Galactic Federation judging by the Events in Metroid Fusion.
Imagine this: Your're in a blissfully beautiful dreams. There the smell of celebration in the air everyone is celebrating the return of the war heroes when all of the sudden the light from the heavens gleams very bright and the angles from above came and join your celebration and you just look up and smile and just continue on with you celebration.
For some reason, I keep getting the feeling that Skytown's theme is a heavy remix of the Underwater Frigate theme from MP1. Anyone else see, or rather hear, what I am talking about?
People saw this as a kinda of sad planet but I loved this place, I loved the design and its only due to this planet that I started scanning things everytime to read how they worked and why; I loved the modes of transportation each more ancient than the last for different purposes, you explore the town and you see it for what it was and could have been; but more importantly you help keep it up and keep the memory of it high up in the sky never forgetting how the species that once lived there were geniuses before their time
While I love this music all the way to heck, I must say that it doesn't exactly mesh with assembling a thermonuclear weapon capable of blowing the snot out of a FRAGMENT OF A LIVING PLANET. Though it doesn't have to. It's too awesome.
You can almost hear in the music, it's like someone turns on a power generator and the whole city lights up with activity, and you can almost hear the engines running as the robots across the city are out and about, doing their daily routines.
Really? Sometimes I would just stop and Idle in Skytown. I found it so utterly brilliant and beautiful. There was such sadness in reading through the logs you found scattered around, chronicling the past you saw crumbling around you. Skytown always managed to drive that sense of being utterly alone through to me. I could never really decide if the place was relaxing or unnerving.
Steampunk madness is what this world is about. Also, I can never forget the travel one can do in this world: Grapple Coaster! This world is one of the more memorable areas in the Metroid Prime series. Top 3 for me are Sanctuary Fortress, Skytown, and Pirate Homeworld.
This song is so euphoric... Fits the area perfectly (which, by the way, features some of the most amazing visuals and level design of any game to date, in my opinion).
I agree with every word you've written. When i began at this stage, the entire stage looked so amazing and the music just blended so well with everything, it's just breathtaking!
Oh, yeah. In addition, the Metroid : Zero Mission promotional manga, which is considered canon, gives Samus a personality strikingly similar to the personality displayed in Metroid : Other M, when she was young. It later developed into the more Metroid Fusion personality.
Indeed. When you enter you see all those Metroids inside their vaults, but after you have your job done and want to get out, you'll see the glasses shatered, which makes you think: "What on earth happened here?"
Actually, Metroid Fusion kind of established a personality for Samus. It's similar to, but not as weak as, the character in Other M. The character in Other M was just horrible in comparison.
Well, Nintendo has said that it will have more emphasis on story than the other games. And that it will show more of Samus' backstory. Looking forward to eet
Hmm I'm kinda getting sick of Skyrim I'm gonna set up my Wii and beat Super Mario bros 1-2-3,Zelda NES,Zelda II, A link to the past, Ocarina of time, Majoras mask, Wind waker, Twilight, Super Metroid, Metroid prime 1,2,3, Megaman 4,5,X Final Fantasy NES,Final Fantasy 6, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario, Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New world, Super Mario galaxy1,2. .... Well this will keep me busy till Super Smash Bros Wii U.
I don't have a clue, I liked Gandrayda even though she was a right b**ch to you! Anyway I have not played prime 1 or 2, So I had also not known there was MULTIPLAYER! What was it like? Now, back to Gandrayda, she seems like the deceptive kind. As her profile stated that she wanted to surpas Samus. So in a way she may have purposely chose to be corrupted by phazon. I don't know for sure but it seems like a plausible scenario. See when you saw the "GF trooper" I thought he was a nice guy aswell!
AMEN TO THAT, hmmm, seemes were on the same note here. Do you have a copy of Hunters? If so then I may play you some time? I am a Kanden user (One of the underused characters that takes time to master). I am only a 2 star but I think the ranking system means nothing anymore seeing as you don't know an honest 5 star from a AR using Combat Hall lovin wall pushing spammer!! Uhh... I think that about tops it off lol? P.S. I'll send ya an invite, accepting is up to you.
It could maybe be an apocolypse like in hunters where samus was destined to wield the weapon to outrule all weapons then in the end GF and Samus have to work together to take down a boss kinda like Gorea. And MAYBE this time if retro studios could add a multiplayer side to it. Seeing as how it worked so well on the DS (untill Action Replay). Though I don't think it would be under the name of Metroid "Prime". I know for a fact this is the last of the 'Prime' series. As it is a TRILOGY!
If I had to pick just one location from the Prime Trilogy to show people how unbelievably good its art direction was... I would show them Elysia. Everything is running in perfect synergy, the music, the visuals, it's a complete set.
Elysia and Sanctuary Fortress are the best looking areas in all of Metroid imo
i would add phendrana as well
Perfect music for getting lost in a giant floating maze.
"giant floating maze"
Perfect 3 words to describe Skytown, it was hard af to navigate lol
ImNot Jesus I can navigate it now rather easily, but in my earlier playthroughs of the game, I would often find myself heading the wrong way due to the identical looking room layouts and themes.

SkyTown is definitely the most confusing area in the whole game, my first playthrough, I spent several hours trying to build the bomb and getting lost because every area in SkyTown was extremely similar to each other.

Man just reading the Elysian Lore while this theme plays was the culmination of sadness in every way.
Indeed. I loved reading about the Elysians. It brings me so many feelings and emotions. It genuinely leaves a feeling of emptiness, regret, sadness, and remembrance.
This is what the gates of heaven opening sound like.

Kritken and doesn't the songbird look like something the chozo would have made?
I'd guess it was inspired by both Skytown and Cloud City from Star Wars.
I've never realized the similarities between the two:
City in the clouds
Rusty places
skylines to ride on
Songbird looks like a Chozo now that you mention it.
*Samus lands at Skytown and hears the music and sees its beauty*
Samus: You know what... Fuck the Leviathan I'm staying up here
How to make Metroid even more awesome than it already is:
Step 1) STEAMPUNK
Step 2) IN THE SKY
steampunk is reddit, but i guess 10 years ago was a different time
@@youngkappakhan reddit isn't an adjective nor the creator of steampunk
@@maxenswlfr1877 found the Redditor
Faaaaacts
@@youngkappakhan dude I never use reddit but think steampunk is a cool aesthetic for Metroid to dabble in like??? Fuckin seriously? Lmao
Skytown needs to be made a Super Smash Kart stage.

A perfect armony between past and future...
I love this theme and I love this place!

Francisco Soto Villegas same wish i was back in 2016 when u wrote this tho miss that year
After the resent news of metroid prime 4, This music keeps me optimistic about the future of the franchise.
NeoPkPower same💯
Its been 5 and a half years since Metroid Prime 4 was announced. I'm sure we'll get Prime 4 one day...one day...
:)
Prime 4 is starting to feel like Half Life 3..
By far one of my favourite locations in videogaming.
Darkstar263 this and phazon mines in part 1 are the best locations ever in any video game
I used to leave the game on overnight on Elysia and fall asleep and wake up to this song. It made my whole day better.
BROTHERS, WE ARE SO BACK!!!!
LET THE METROID PRIME HYPE CYCLE BEGIN
This song hits the perfect balance between wonder and melancholy.
That's such an amazing way to describe it
This music fits so well with Elysia. Actually it's one of my favourite places in the Prime series, thanks largly to this gorgeous tune.
Btw did Elysia remind anyone of those sky leval tracks in Star wars episode one racer ?
The sky city views were breathtaking. My favorite place in MP3. I loved the robots and how it was old and rustic and it's story etc..
my jaw dropped when I first arrived at this location and heard the music
-comes to listen to this to cry after 2015's E3-
2007 was such a good year for videogames ;-;
Kevin Lemus in 2007 metroid prime 3 and halo 3 came out, you're right! Such a good year
Kevin Lemus Now come from E3 2017 to celebrate
nope, it's crying once again... tears of joy to be exact.

After all these years... I'm still trying to find the sample of that Elysian door sound to use it as msg ringtone for my phone :-(
Is it me or does this sound like the artifact temple theme of the first Metroid Prime?
I love how peaceful this music is for an action fps game :p
Well it's more of an First Person Adventure game than shooter isn't it?
I suppose so, yeah.
This song reminds me of both the Crashed Space Pirate Frigate from the first Metroid Prime and The End of the World from Kingdom Hearts. They both sound very similar to this (just without the electric guitar bit near the end.)

FineGamerYT best thing that could ever happen
best song in all of metroid
That Electric guitar at 3:04 tho
This gives me those legend of Zelda skyward sword vibes
This theme is so majestic.
This theme 🎶 music makes feel I'm in Heaven. 👼🌤🌥
For some reason, I keep getting the feeling that Skytown's theme is a heavy remix of the Underwater Frigate theme from MP1. Anyone else see, or rather hear, what I am talking about?
Must be the harp in the background, its melody is sort of like the piano in the Underwater Frigate theme.
the most relaxing music ever, i enjoyed elysia throughout the gameplay.
My favorite part of the game...
Metroid Prime 4 announced for nintendo switch !
Yeet!
People saw this as a kinda of sad planet but I loved this place, I loved the design and its only due to this planet that I started scanning things everytime to read how they worked and why; I loved the modes of transportation each more ancient than the last for different purposes, you explore the town and you see it for what it was and could have been; but more importantly you help keep it up and keep the memory of it high up in the sky never forgetting how the species that once lived there were geniuses before their time
the music to this game, and simply the game itself, is such a work of art...
SkyTown: When Metroid became Kingdom Hearts.
While I love this music all the way to heck, I must say that it doesn't exactly mesh with assembling a thermonuclear weapon capable of blowing the snot out of a FRAGMENT OF A LIVING PLANET.
Though it doesn't have to. It's too awesome.
this song is so peaceful and relaxing......really THAT piece of music i think of when i hear the word 'Skytown'
You can almost hear in the music, it's like someone turns on a power generator and the whole city lights up with activity, and you can almost hear the engines running as the robots across the city are out and about, doing their daily routines.

This is my favoirite place/level in all of the Primes. With the exception of the Defense Drone. I hate that guy. =P
This song is so euphoric... Fits the area perfectly (which, by the way, features some of the most amazing visuals and level design of any game to date, in my opinion).
The Chozo Gods are singing
So graceful, one of my favourite locations in the Prime series.
Aaron Anderson 💯
My favorite MP3 planet theme. ☺
I like back tracking because I could hear all this great music and see all the amazing landscapes again!
One of the finest game songs of all time.
Best track in the game. It's like getting high, without wasting your money. Fav'd.
I agree with every word you've written. When i began at this stage, the entire stage looked so amazing and the music just blended so well with everything, it's just breathtaking!
This music helps me cope with my problems when times are bad. Very relaxing music too.
WHEN YOUR FAVORITE RETURNS AFTER ALMOST A DECADE OF NOTHING *cries*
well, did you!?
The first time I came here, my first thought was: "Did I warp to TP?"
July 2021
Yeah, the glorious Prime isn't canon, but the horrid Other M is. Fuck that.
Sounds like Dive into the Heart from Kingdom Hearts.
For some reason every time I listen to this playlist, this song repeats itself once by itself. However, I really don't mind listening to it twice :)
Makes me think of the "End of the World" theme from Kingdom Hearts.
What an incredible game
The first time I played this game and got to this planet, it reminded me of Kingdom Hearts cause of the way the music is being played. lol
Seriously one of my favorite themes and locations in Metroid. Great atmostphere.
that part always scards me everytime I go deeper in Elysia
I like it that there are other people out there who share the same unique tastes as others. I love this music!!
This was my favorite area. It was soooooo pretty and I wanted to live there...
I would do anything to live on Skytown. Of course, when the Elysians come back, and there arent any crazed tinbots roaming around.
I play random stuff 😂
how the hell is the Prime trilogy underestimated?
Oh, yeah. In addition, the Metroid : Zero Mission promotional manga, which is considered canon, gives Samus a personality strikingly similar to the personality displayed in Metroid : Other M, when she was young. It later developed into the more Metroid Fusion personality.

Well, Nintendo has said that it will have more emphasis on story than the other games. And that it will show more of Samus' backstory.
Looking forward to eet
My favorite area in the game.
One of the best songs for a game ever made. I want an autograph from the composers of this amazing music! I WANT AN EFFING AUTOGRAPH!
I love skytown but the ziplines are annoying I also get very confused on where I am going after you hit the seed with the spire bomb.
Reminds me of "End of the World" from Kingdom Hearts and the Main Menu Theme from Geist.
this music always reminded me of oblivion

Well this will keep me busy till Super Smash Bros Wii U.
I don't have a clue, I liked Gandrayda even though she was a right b**ch to you! Anyway I have not played prime 1 or 2, So I had also not known there was MULTIPLAYER! What was it like? Now, back to Gandrayda, she seems like the deceptive kind. As her profile stated that she wanted to surpas Samus. So in a way she may have purposely chose to be corrupted by phazon. I don't know for sure but it seems like a plausible scenario.
See when you saw the "GF trooper" I thought he was a nice guy aswell!
AMEN TO THAT, hmmm, seemes were on the same note here.
Do you have a copy of Hunters?
If so then I may play you some time? I am a Kanden user (One of the underused characters that takes time to master). I am only a 2 star but I think the ranking system means nothing anymore seeing as you don't know an honest 5 star from a AR using Combat Hall lovin wall pushing spammer!!
Uhh... I think that about tops it off lol?
P.S. I'll send ya an invite, accepting is up to you.
It could maybe be an apocolypse like in hunters where samus was destined to wield the weapon to outrule all weapons then in the end GF and Samus have to work together to take down a boss kinda like Gorea. And MAYBE this time if retro studios could add a multiplayer side to it.
Seeing as how it worked so well on the DS (untill Action Replay).
Though I don't think it would be under the name of Metroid "Prime". I know for a fact this is the last of the 'Prime' series. As it is a TRILOGY!
Yes the part with the metroids, in the beginning it was a little bit creppy, but not so creppy as valhalla ^^
