Now let's hope for a Harmony of Despair remake so we can have almost the whole Castlevania cast do this. Even better if it came with all the DLC so we can have this song also.
To me this is what makes Castlevania sound like Castlevania; it KNOWS it's a creepy jaunt based off Halloween-esque cliches, and doesn't take itself so darned seriously. Even Vampire Killer sounds like this. It's about fun.
Exactly. That's one of the things i love about Castlevania. I would say the best examples as far as funky music are Symphony of the Night, x68000, Rondo of Blood, and Chronicles.
@@ikagura Chronicles and Rondo of Blood's soundtracks are so upbeat and funky! Fitting considering the games are full of weird things and gags like caterpillars and giant birthday cakes.
@@GreyWind1988 YESS AGREED XD I getcha Every time I hear the names Jonathon or Charlotte, I have to imagine this here, switching between them rapidly XD And hope you're doing well, 4 years later! ^^
+Cool Diavolo Yeah Rich's post was referencing what they both shout when you swap them out. PoR has a partner system. The following posts are references to what both of them shout when you use a dual item crash with a certain subweapon.
This sounds like the intro theme to a late 80s/early 90s TV show. Like, I can literally envision the cast members' names and faces being shown while this song plays.
I'll be honest, my least favorite thing about this game is Wind's quests. They were vague in terms of objective and sometimes cryptic with requirements. But what made them worth it was getting to hear Invitation of a Crazed Moon every time I went back. I love this piece so much.
This is my second Castlevania game. I finished 2 weeks ago Order of Ecclesia and absolutely loved it. I know this game will be good if it starts with this banger.
Castlevania was one of the franchise popular for its music; why is it a surprise? It's a testament to a time when videogame music were VIDEOGAME music and not trying to be some epic forgettable orchestral that blends into the background.
I was going to say I feel old but then I realised I was in the last year of primary school myself when this dropped, only played it like 5 years ago though
Got this game just after school breakup (2007), went away on holiday in France and stayed at an old bed and breakfast Chateau that had legit renaissance paintings, knights in armour, was like VR Castlevania 😂
For those saying this could be a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure opening. Fun fact in POR while playing as Jonathan if you held up on the d-pad long enough Jonathan would do one of Jonathan Joestar's poses.
I love you Charlotte Aulin. :] I consider this her track, because she's all I played as. Jonathan's track I consider to be Victorian Fear, the first painting world track. Jonathan was actually really cool. He had awesome animations, the weapons were tight and top notch, the skill tree was super fun, and he looked like a badass. But... Charlotte.
@@naturalharmoniagropius3262 Blues scale…? Heck if I know anything about music technicisms; if you say so, I'll just assume that you are most likely right :/
The start song of the first Castlevania that I play. The concept of a castle with terrorific monsters comander for the most famous vampire create the prejudice that it is a terror game. But it's lively and energetic music erase the fear.
when i was younger i used to sneak my DS to play at night XDDD thats the only song i would allow myself to up the volume because i did not want to get caught XD
I love how not only the Vampire Survivors' Castlevania DLC made a BANGER of a remixed soundtrack that it deserves but also this very OG DS theme available as an option!!!!!!!! Now excuse me while I go CHARLOTTE! JONATHAN!
@@splatinum837 Well, hope yer aware of the two Bloodstained games; they're made by the people who used to make Castlevania (they left Konami, with Castlevania's daddy Koji Igarashi leading the charge, because fuck Konami), even Castlevania's legendary music composer (Michiru Yamane) worked on both. Curse of the Moon is a really good ClassicVania, Ritual of the Night is a freaking amazing Metroidvania. : )
If anyone here played Yakuza, I can imagine Jonathan dancing in the disco with this in the background. And yes, I am including the Kiryu kneel-and-point pose.
listening to this reminds me of when i was 4. thats when i first got a DS and got this game. it makes me sad remembering i can never go back to those days....
@@RisottosWife I mean, it's 2D tho? Well, 2.5D (3D graphics, but 2D gameplay), and it's as full-blown Metroidvania as full-blown Metroidvania gets - and it's by Igarashi, the man behind SotN and the Castlevanias coming after it, and even has Michiru Yamane on board as music composer just like in the Castlevania games... ... and, last but not least, it's just so fucking *_GOOD._*
Kinda sounds like Simon’s theme from Castlevania 4 when the main bit first kicks in. 1:00 ...and this sounds for all the world like something Sakuraba (Tales/Golden Sun series) would compose. 0_o
Ah the game that gave me nightmares by simply watching a playthough. This song is like a creepy nostalgia that just ripples down my spine... Oh, the song? See description above.
this reminds me of trying to pirate the game and always freezing after the second screen and thus hearing this track start over so many times. fortunately i found the original game at a shop for like 15€

What's even more awesome is this particular track was made by Yuzo Koshiro.
Dracula's Castle has no business being this funky. I love it. xD

Like in CV Chronicles?
@@ikagura Chronicles and Rondo of Blood's soundtracks are so upbeat and funky! Fitting considering the games are full of weird things and gags like caterpillars and giant birthday cakes.
It's Yuzo's style

As great of an opening track this is, I just can't listen to it without hearing "Jonathan!" "Charlotte" over and over
Then stop switching them lol.

This sounds like the intro theme to a late 80s/early 90s TV show. Like, I can literally envision the cast members' names and faces being shown while this song plays.
The Belmonts are a family of maverick, lone-wolf, loose-canon, vampire hunters on the edge, who don't play by the rules.
Resident Evil lol
It gives me the feeling of an Scooby Doo-like movie
Could also be an anime opening (Like JJBA Part 2)

Same here...the nostalgia ;_;
I will always remember when the trailer for this game dropped and the gameplay footage hits with a lil bit a 0:07 and I'm like: Yep! Sold.
Wow. Never expected you like Castlevania as well, Mr. Touhou Animator.
Que música sensacional
Verdade, fera :D
esse é um dos meus castle favorito no quisito trilha sonora
A minha trilha favorita da série e uma das minhas músicas favoritas de todos os tempos, recomendo ouvir a versão do teckworks, fica ainda melhor
I would have never guessed this was a Yuzo Koshiro song
I love you Charlotte Aulin. :]
I consider this her track, because she's all I played as. Jonathan's track I consider to be Victorian Fear, the first painting world track. Jonathan was actually really cool. He had awesome animations, the weapons were tight and top notch, the skill tree was super fun, and he looked like a badass.
But... Charlotte.
Yikes.
Needs to be on top.
Yea the boobs we know
also her book (Tome of Arms 3 is better than X)
I did a Charlotte only run as a kid. Really loved the magic element of the game.
Sibyl Saint this is jonathons theme tho charlottes is “a hidden curse” from forest of death section
the best "going to the store" theme in a video game that I can think of!
A duo starts an adventure, little to know they'd both become legend inside and outside of their game.
This is the most memorable song in POR imo .... Get stuck in my head
*proceeds to spam left and right to pretend they are dancing*
That guitar at the intro I love it. I can imagine a cowboy humming that part. It really represent's Jonathan's Nationality.
Well Jonathan in the canon is stated to be from one of the more rural parts of the state of Texas.
Sounds like an spanish guitar to me, and since Eric's ghost is stuck in this area…
@@kirimusse that is a lot of blues scale for a spanish guitar. Also this is jonathan's theme and confirmed so what i said makes better sense

Let this be in the Castlevania dlc for Vampire Survivors
GUESS WHAT
IT IS!!!
Ahw yeah this was my where-the-hell-do-I-go-next? Song
The start song of the first Castlevania that I play.

This game is my first ever castlevania game! I love the series after that.❤
So why isn't this in the Spotify album? Like wtf it's the best track in the game
Still not on Spotify... maybe it's a copyright thing?
Time to play portrait of ruin again i guess
This and "Wandering Ghosts" from SOTN are my favorite Castlevania songs.

best castlevania nds i like all castlevania am fan
I love this track so much.
Ah, what a wonderful night to play this music~
For years I've been against all those Metroidvania style games, but when I tried PoR, and heard the music... I fell in love.
Thats Castlevania in general
All the ds and handheld castlevanias are good. Too bad no more :(

Studying and Working listen this Funky Song is so relaxing❤
Why is it soo good I love this
Jonathan: "Die, Harmony of Despair music! You don't belong in this series!"
GREAT music, not sure why I just found it in a Yuzo Koshiro playlist, though.
Koshiro was the composer of this and other songs in the game.
Because Yuzo Koshiro composed this, alongside Michiru Yamane
If anyone here played Yakuza, I can imagine Jonathan dancing in the disco with this in the background.
And yes, I am including the Kiryu kneel-and-point pose.
Composed by: Michiru Yamane, Yuzo Koshiro
Lets go!
When a crazy moon invites me
I was a 2000s teenager, identified with Jonathan and Charlotte than Soma.
Well, I'm 27 and hearing people say they are nostalgic about this makes me feel ancient. Castlevania 4 for SNES was the best for me.
You thought you were ancient back then... How about now?
Great theme, and the name is totally awesome too xD
Can't wait until night to get a invitation from a crazed moon.
the beginning of a spooooky adventure!!!!
This is my favorite Castlevania ost
Fucking Bloodlines Baby
Jonadandy Morris's theme.
Ya con los primos tonos uno sabe que será un temazo
Na primeira vez que eu ouvi essa música não sabia se jogava ou dançava
Real, musica mais foda da série
Jonathan's theme :D Harmony of Despair's version is just as epic.
Este ost esta para bailar 💃💃🏻
What's With Castlevania & Having Funky Soundtrack For An Opening Castle Theme XDD

Ah the good old days of storming a vampire castle filled with monsters on the DS, before TikTok and everything else, I feel so old now, good times.
I think Juste's theme would have shown how the soundtrack would of been like if it had the time to be fully written out rather than rushed.
That intro is so western I love it!. Jonathan is American after all.
