It's been nearly a decade since I first played MGQ and it baffles me that nobody has tried to make a full-blown cover of this theme until now. Rengoku-Teien (the composer) made so much amazing music and I was devastated to find their site went down; It's what prompted me to cover this piece. Hopefully you enjoy my take on one of the best battle themes of all time! By the way I kind of fell into a nostalgia trap while covering this and was reminded of the times when MGQ, Dark Souls, Touhou and Vocaloid were my whole world lol I miss my youth.

MGQ and Touhou? Jesus, you lived the life I’m living now. I also just beat Paradox a couple days ago, and with Part 3 on the horizon.. I’m excited to see your covers for the next chapter once it releases!
Oh wow, Rengoku-Teien's site went down? Thought all their music was royalty free? You also mentioned Touhou, some of the version 1 music to the first Touhou Labyrinth was made by that same composer.
@DarkFrozenDepths Rengoku-Teien's stuff is royalty free and as far as everyone knows, their website was taken down by themselves. I didn't know they had any music in any Touhou works, that's pretty cool.
I questioned this game yesterday. I want to say that this is one of the best, if not the best, games I've played. I started playing it with the idea that there would be nothing interesting there, but how wrong I was. The plot draws in quite quickly and for a long time. The battles are wonderful, the music is even better. You can't understand how good this game is without going through it. I advise everyone. Also thanks to Kieran Zane Roberts for the wonderful covers that have been in my head and not only for a long time.
This game uses couple of timeless tropes like "the hero's juorney" and "boy meets girl" and brings those to insane heights. If you want more of that stuff I recommend "Deus Machina Demonbane"(do *not* watch the anime).
@@lifeloverNorris Imagine the surprise that this too good of a game wasn't AAA but an H-game and the H-game sells too, if someone is very into vore. Luka is often being melted down as food after all.
Kieran Zane Roberts, a man who singlehandedly reunited various MGQ enthusiasts all over the world using only the sheer power of his amazing music. He gave love to an overwhelmingly underated but awesome soundtrack and game. One we may not be able to speak much about with friends but appreciate in our hearts either way. With one of the best stories i've ever followed, filled with many life lessons and charismatic, diverse characters, MGQ has become my all time favorite game despite anything and everything. Thank you Kieran Zane for appreciating something i'm sure we remember with nostalgia and love. Thank you for keeping alive Rengoku-Teien's legacy and using your time and effort to share it with the world. Your covers are mindblowing to me and i hope you have a bright future (and also cover MGQ:P III themes when it comes out! :D). _"A hero has two roles. The first is to save the world when it is in trouble. The second is to return to those who are waiting for you, after you are finished."_ - Heinrich Hein
Thank you! I'm super glad you love the music, and I really appreciate all the kind words! I'll definitely be covering Part 3's music when it comes out!
@@assaulthetz380 well its a sequel to MGQ OG the reason she got transported to other dimension it because of black Alice which causes a paradox.. and now she can experience to have a real companion in journey and not lonely anymore.
С каждым разом, слушая всё больше и больше разнообразных версий или же просто оригинальной Финальной Темы Илиас, я всё больше уверяюсь- это лучшая тема в одной из лучших игр, в которые я играл. Как всегда потрясающая работа 🐭
Thank you so much! It really is one of the greatest themes ever! Большое спасибо! Это действительно одно из величайших музыкальных произведений, когда-либо созданных!
I cannot unhear or unsee when Main Paradox Nerfed Illias (OG) with Luka and a party of both angels and monster girls is fighting against the Ruthless Lonely Ilias (OG) and apotheosis chaotic god Black Alice.
Ah, MGQ. A game that did taught me to not to judge a book by its cover (seriously, who would've thought that a game about smashing Monster Girls would be so damn great with battles you need to plan instead of just over-leveling and button mashing Attack, absolute bangers in the soundtracks, an interesting and captivating world along with its lovely characters and story, even if you were to take out the main appeal on paper???), unironically became one of my favorite games even up to this day, and finally, absolutely *awakened many, many things in me*. Even though the OVA sucked, I still genuinely hope for an adaptation of MGQ one day even if it means getting rid of Luka playing Smash with other characters. Apart from Alice, whose scenes actually have a subtle but sweet touch if you notice the pattern as you progress throughout the game and her relationship with Double Idiot deepens.
This some gives so much more determination for so many things: my upcoming school exams, my recovery from NNN, going to the gym, editing, gaming, every single day enjoying life. All the things that I did and the things that I certainly will do, will not be in vain. Keep hope and Stay strong✊. We’re all filled with Determination❤️
Goddamn dude NICE WORK! I recently beat mgq 3 and loved everything! About to start playing paradox and i found your channel, hope everything goes well with you dud, pretty nice job :DDD
Yknow what...I feel like writing. And there stood the Unblessed Hero, the son of a Warrior and a Fallen Angel, by his side stood the Sixteenth Monster Lord, alongside the Four Heavenly Knights, the mighty Granberia, the alluring Alma Elma, the excited and mysterious Tamamo, and the cold stoic Erubetie. Before them stood what was once a Goddess of Light, now a mess of flesh and bone, muscle and magic, what was once a bringer of hope and prair, was now a bringer of torment and agony, sorrow, not salvation. She weilded the power to erase the universe and remake it in her image, but for whatever reason, she felt the need to fight them. This was the last chance they would have, either slay the former Goddess, or be erased. They could not fail.
To this day one of the most hype final battles. And only gooners will ever know of it 🥹 I was like 12-13 when the game came out, completely ruined my chance at attraction to normal anime chicks like other weebs
Anyone would be insane after spending millions of years in the void without any social interaction... EXCEPT the first. She literally walked out of that shit just fine. Wait... Now that I think about it how the fuck did Alipheese do that!?
@@mosshivenetwork117 *Deep breath* *Pull out my MGQ lore book* Before chaos split in two and became the element of light and dark there was nothing. And while there was nothing, two being came into existence. In the void of chaos and nothingness these two being spends millions of years alone without anyone to talk to. Ilias ended up turning crazy and would destroy the world at the idea of her people not following her anymore. The other being, Alipheese, walked out of the whole thing a much better person than Illias... Somehow.
when i hear the chorus i can't help but think of "Flying through the sky, sight through the hawk's eye; a place to call my own! Deep from the ocean's blue, a force we will use to; we will call this place our home! (To fight for!)"
@@coldkgon5836 Why would you welcome us with such a vile existential question. I was going to say Tamamo but my heart has been writhing in pain for the past twenty minutes. I'm still too shaken up from Chapter 3, I have to say Promestein. ...Huh. The moment I started editing this post, the pain stopped. Are you serious? Your turn. State your opinion or suffer the consequence.
@@victordeluca7360 lol, ive honestly never known why fandoms can't deal w best girl arguments. I profess to particularly liking chibilias's cute side, which seeps thru, like when seeing Eden first time. Otherwise I do like all Alice, ba, tamomo and all the usual best girl candidates.
I remember being disappointed when the boss battle theme cut out for the main menu theme, so, I went into the game script file, removed the line that switched the bgm, and played it again.
To think I've been at this channel a bit more than a year, I'll keep saying it, wish i could've seen this earlier, i remember that pressure when facing Ilias for first time, sharing the same as Luka and Alice, maybe i should replay it again at Hell so those feelings will be higher, can't deny the original was badass, but this remix is above it, maybe it should be used if someone manages to do this game at 3D
So I don't think I even need to mention how much this game means to me, what with my profile picture and account name. Yeah... This game still holds a very dear place in my heart. I remember regularly going to RogueTranslations website to check the progress on Part 2 and 3 after having played Part 1. For a game about getting eaten/raped by monster girls this game's story truly stood out as a true gem among the Visual Novels of it's time. I stopped saving before fights and intentionally losing just to see the scene sometime in the middle of Chapter 2 because I just didn't care anymore and just wanted to see the story go on. Fuck this makes me nostalgic. One good thing about my online handle being the same everywhere possible, is that I sometimes meet people in various games who recognize my name and I get to have a good chat with someone just as cultured as us.
The tail is still fluffy. Hora hora~ My personal favorite had to be the Four Heavenly Kings. Also, can someone explain to me why the Sorrow 3 tune is the same one featured in the horror game Misao?
A lot of the music in MGQ is royalty free, which means anyone can just take that music and use it in their projects. Even Ilias' final boss theme and Sitenno are royalty free which is crazy to me since they're such amazing pieces!
I had a second channel just for extensions but TH-cam shut it down due to "stolen content" even though I owned both channels and all of the music on them, so I asked everyone if they'd be okay with the extensions being here instead and they said yes.
Glad you like it! Most of my music from the past 3 years are covers including this track, and they're copyrighted, just not by me, so you'd have to contact the original composers for usage rights. You can find credits for the original composers of any of my covers in their video descriptions. You're a little unlucky with this track though, as the original composer pretty much disappeared from the internet lol
Yep, she was just too lonely that she went into Genocide mode and let Humans only for hers, and hated her Other side's feats and emotional control. But well, her emotional control did manage to form up, when Paradox Ilias lost all of her power. Despite not choosing her she came to like and love the monstergirls that also cares for her when they take arms with her. And Choosing her will see that development up close, as she slowly accept the Monstergirls aint that bad as she imagined, and also starting to get scared at her own 'Angels' that is actively trying to kill her and not follow her orders other than the Old generation of angels that she knows. So does her change influences the heaven, many more 'small' events between angels, mortals and monster girls lived in a simple harmony in the pocket castle.

Ilias did nothing wrong.
Yep, she was just too lonely that she went into Genocide mode and let Humans only for hers, and hated her Other side's feats and emotional control.
But well, her emotional control did manage to form up, when Paradox Ilias lost all of her power. Despite not choosing her she came to like and love the monstergirls that also cares for her when they take arms with her.
And Choosing her will see that development up close, as she slowly accept the Monstergirls aint that bad as she imagined, and also starting to get scared at her own 'Angels' that is actively trying to kill her and not follow her orders other than the Old generation of angels that she knows.
So does her change influences the heaven, many more 'small' events between angels, mortals and monster girls lived in a simple harmony in the pocket castle.
Of course with Monster Queens, monster lord's spawns, kings/Queens and her goddess along the way.
