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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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)
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.
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.
@@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.)
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
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.
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 ?
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 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).
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
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.
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.
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.
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 have never been so awe-struck before looking out at the scenery in a videogame before. That view from the main tram; Skytown definitely wins for best scenery in this game in my book.
I feel you, man. Having never played a metroid game, i bought the trilogy in hopes that the game would please me. Three years later it is still on of the best games i have played. Metroid Prime 1, 2, and 3 are going down on my list of games i must play when im older. Just to be left in awe again after years of not having that feeling.
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.
Sometimes, when I get there, I just look at the sky, at the skyline... You can see another skytown far far away there.. it's such a peacefull place! I loved the ending of MP3 when Samus is sitting there watching at the sky... And yes, I think so too, this song stands for all the peacefull places in Metroid, for the Chozo, the Luminoth, a song for everyone who loves to take a minute and watch the clouds fly by...
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.)
Ahh................ Just calms me down so much.......... All of the cymbals crashing and the almost Angelical Choir, and the bells............. It would just relax about anyone....
No game will ever compare to Metroid, it has unique elements to it in which relates to the players desire to become part of the life of samus aran and consistently backs up the heroic life she lived. WE are samus aran and together we help make this game push forward as the best seller it will always be known as to this day and forth. Ty metroid for giving an example to others of what a true game should look like.
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?
This song describes the beauty of the metroid series so much that none of you can suggest a better song in this serie of games! Another thing is that it shows the beauty to the end of the metroid prime trilogy...
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?"
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
This entire planet just screams bio shock
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.
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.

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

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.
Metroid prime 3 had the best world Building of all the metroids
Me too bro
I was thinking exactly the same right now
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..
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.
METROID PRIME 4 HYPE
Development restarted from scratch now.
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)

Dang
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
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..
Elysia Sky town is my absolute fucking overall FAVORITE place in the whole of the metroid universe.
+BRNHater2681 nah
Elysia is the place to be
Phendrana drifts beats this area by a hair.
This song hits the perfect balance between wonder and melancholy.
That's such an amazing way to describe it
Skytown, a beauty paradise...
A perfect armony between past and future...
I love this theme and I love this place!
🥰🤩

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.
Skytown needs to be made a Super Smash Kart stage.
Samniss Arandeen wat
I think they mean Super Smash Bros stage. But they probably haven't heard of the games before.
@@Weird_Alchemist42 I would've guessed he meant Mario Kart, but switched the Mario with "Super Smash" because Mario doesn't normally have crossovers.

Still, a Skytown themed track for Mario Kart would be pretty cool.
@@Weird_Alchemist42 Yeah sure, even though the Zelda map was kinda disappointing...
I wish Skytown,Elysia was a real place with that music playing all the time
omg yes!
This theme is so majestic.
Sometimes, I come to Skytown just to listen to the music. Its so relaxing!
What made me cry about how beautiful this planet was that the original race was gone due to space pirates. :_;

+Rundas is beast ......................Holy shit you're right.
Bwgan Brain no way u gotta be joking I haven’t noticed it
What the heck really?
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?

FineGamerYT best thing that could ever happen
this song is so peaceful and relaxing......really THAT piece of music i think of when i hear the word 'Skytown'
the music to this game, and simply the game itself, is such a work of art...
-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.
So graceful, one of my favourite locations in the Prime series.

Seriously one of my favorite themes and locations in Metroid. Great atmostphere.
my jaw dropped when I first arrived at this location and heard the music
love the area, so well drawn out, and complicated too, amazing
This music helps me cope with my problems when times are bad. Very relaxing music too.
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 most relaxing music ever, i enjoyed elysia throughout the gameplay.

Metroid is a masterpiece.
I agree with this. However, the lore of the Elysians is what makes people feel lonley and sad.

absolutely best music in a video game ever! I could listen 2 it all day, it kinda really soothes me and goes well with me! Thanks 4 putting it!
I like it that there are other people out there who share the same unique tastes as others. I love this music!!
best song in all of metroid
One of the finest game songs of all time.
I like back tracking because I could hear all this great music and see all the amazing landscapes again!
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 :)
That Electric guitar at 3:04 tho
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.
beautiful music.... so calm... i simply ADORE it.
2:25 sent me to heaven the first time hearing this 😇
this song just gives the feel that your standing in a glamous golden city blooming with technology
Nintendo please Metroid Prime 4 for NX...... Samus i miss you ..
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. : )

Oden yeahhhhh i'm so happy 😍😍😍
I have never been so awe-struck before looking out at the scenery in a videogame before. That view from the main tram; Skytown definitely wins for best scenery in this game in my book.
I feel you, man. Having never played a metroid game, i bought the trilogy in hopes that the game would please me. Three years later it is still on of the best games i have played. Metroid Prime 1, 2, and 3 are going down on my list of games i must play when im older. Just to be left in awe again after years of not having that feeling.
Have you replayed them since then?
WHEN YOUR FAVORITE RETURNS AFTER ALMOST A DECADE OF NOTHING *cries*
I like the Chozo very much. Exploring their ruins and explendor pass to us the idea a civilization can transcend its inner chaos and reach the stars.
Yer, well you can never know for sure.
I love this excerpt, the earry voices and strings and bells make it soo.. soo beautuful!
What an incredible game
This was my favorite area. It was soooooo pretty and I wanted to live there...
My favorite area in the game.
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.
This game was such a delight for me, i love it
My favorite part of the game...
This theme 🎶 music makes feel I'm in Heaven. 👼🌤🌥
Sometimes, when I get there, I just look at the sky, at the skyline...
You can see another skytown far far away there.. it's such a peacefull place! I loved the ending of MP3 when Samus is sitting there watching at the sky...
And yes, I think so too, this song stands for all the peacefull places in Metroid, for the Chozo, the Luminoth, a song for everyone who loves to take a minute and watch the clouds fly by...
it sounds so mystical and somewhat holy so soothing 2 kinda makes all of ur troubles go away
Agreed 100%. I go there every now and then while collecting all items just to enjoy it's beauty.
I miss this game soo much I started to cry over the music
The most beatiful music that I have ever heard.
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.)
Best track in the game. It's like getting high, without wasting your money. Fav'd.
Ahh................ Just calms me down so much.......... All of the cymbals crashing and the almost Angelical Choir, and the bells............. It would just relax about anyone....
Sounds so...relaxing.
This gives me those legend of Zelda skyward sword vibes
No game will ever compare to Metroid, it has unique elements to it in which relates to the players desire to become part of the life of samus aran and consistently backs up the heroic life she lived. WE are samus aran and together we help make this game push forward as the best seller it will always be known as to this day and forth. Ty metroid for giving an example to others of what a true game should look like.
sky town had a lot of back and forth gameplay and it was BIG so i love it!!!
woooooww, when you look in the sky, it feels like you are in the paradise, really
that part always scards me everytime I go deeper in Elysia
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.
I love singing along to this! Or whatever you wish to call it :D
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 😂
i think that it is because its the only place where you can sit and relax, and make some cool sightseeing......because of the sky and all that stuff
Is it me or does this sound like the artifact temple theme of the first Metroid Prime?
SkyTown: When Metroid became Kingdom Hearts.
This song describes the beauty of the metroid series so much that none of you can suggest a better song in this serie of games!
Another thing is that it shows the beauty to the end of the metroid prime trilogy...

the attention to detail in all the prime games was great enough to make it timeless, i dont think it can get much better than that
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!
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?"
Dude, I wholeheartedly agree, the original Prime is in my top three games ever made.
The first time I came here, my first thought was: "Did I warp to TP?"
The Chozo Gods are singing
Love Skytown, so complex and varied. Its massive.
