If you told me this was footage from an upcoming anime series I would believe you. Hell, It doesn't even look like it had to be heavily compressed in order to fit in the disk... Very impressive.

seriously, This feels like one of those songs that you would remember forever. like a really classic 90s song that you would expect to everyone to know.
I know right? The guitar playing evokes some warm, nostalgic memories of familiarity of listening to old, romantic music on the radio when I was a kid. Definitely has that charm to it.
Goddamn I love this game. This is my teenagehood. I first played this on SNES emulator with a ROM translated in french, my native language. I fell in love with this game right away despite its awkward feeling system when you're going blind into the game. It didin't take long before I levelled up enough to really start taking this sytem to my advantage and it instantly became my favorite JRPG. Then I purchased the GBA version since it was the only officially translated "modern" version of the game available to me. I 100%'d it even though it was extremelly subpar, then a few years later, when I was 19, I installed the translation patch on the PSX ROM and finally got to play this version. I was blown away by the reimagined opening, the bonus skits, the voice acted cutscenes, the extra content, bosses, items, sidequests, characters, areas, the revamped battle system, the graphics and recomposed soundtrack. This, in my book, is the shining example of what a true remaster should be.
My first time playing the SFC Top my jaw just dropped at the idea an SNES game had a full song complete with vocals. Now I get nostalgic whenever I hear it.
Sadly Tales of Phantasia: Cross Edition (best version because has Eternia's battle system) is PSP exclusive, and isn't officially translated. iPhone version was disastrous, Bandai Namco has a complex of platforms issues., but hopefully at some point there will finally be a PC port, its prequel, Symphonia, is already on PC for a long time, .and with multi language support.
I'd kill for Phantasia X on the switch. Mainly because it has Eternia's battle system/battles are no longer annoying because of the constant pauses. And the new sprites And Rondoline
Really wish Bandai-Namco would remake or otherwise make available globally this game and the other earlier ones that aren't available. This one is easily my favorite of the franchise and I would absolutely love if it got a remake along the lines of Resident Evil 2.
I'd be pensive about a 3D remake. the 2D games had their own artstyle and feeling, so having an AI upscale the sprites and assets with modernized magic effects would be enough.
Last year a TH-camr named @EruptionFang did a timeline video of this game and....I LOVED IT! I WISH IT WAS EASILY ACCESSIBLE HERE IN THE WEST OTHER THEN THE GBA VERSION! Heck I'd LOVE to see a 3D model remake of this game. Weeks ago Tales of Grace F was coming to the switch and I remember seeing an article that the producer said other remakes or remasters are going to happen in the near future. All I can say is I HOPE that a 3D, fully voice acted, version of this game is one there remastering, or remaking right now, I WANT TO EXPERIENCE THIS GRAND ADVENTURE! It'd be awesome!
@@neroultimate1 oh Hell yeah- Miki Matsubara! I’ve started to become a fan of Old Japanese City Funk/Pop so I know who she is thanks to Stay with Me of course. This on the other hand’s flew under my radar, but man now that I’ve heard it- I dig the Hell out of it. Thanks for enlightening me on it, I’m adding it to my playlist now lol
Wow, that arrangement and mix is absolutely fantastic. I miss those natural vocals with uncorrected pitch and minimal compression over a full wide mix with some room for dynamics. And what a fat guitar. I think it's an amp mic and an out being panned wide, and when it kicked in with the little minor lift over strings I got goosebumps. And the animation is similarly on another freakin' level.
Not gonna lie, a part of me kinda prefers the SNES version of this opening. Don’t get me wrong the animation is great but something about the SNES version just oozes with so much charm. And the fact that it was capable of having actual vocals despite the hardware was amazing

I demand Tales of Phantasia R, which would be the same treatment as Tales of Innocence and Tales of Hearts. The GBA translation would be used as the basis of the localization. There would be three BGM options: the original Super Famicom version, the PlayStation version, and a brand new arrangement (except that the version of “Take Up the Cross” would be borrowed from Tales of Zestiria).
Ummm I'm thinkin' of more in line of current/next-gen consoles like Switch, PS4-5, Xbox One & X series, when Square Enix released Star Ocean 1st Departure R. Just 3 BGM options with 2 voice options, one from OVA & SFM/PS1 say at least. As for the localization...it can be updated considering the laws is relaxed.
@@Samanosuke2727 Tales of Innocence R and Tales of Hearts R are remakes, but Star Ocean: First Departure R is a port (albeit a partial remaster) of the PSP version.
Why people really liked tales of phantasia? It’s kosuke fujishima golden age when he drew tales of phantasia characters. Aa megami sama really booming that moment (yrs 1995)
I like how you act as if character design is the only reason why people enjoy Tales of Phantasia. As if the writing, gameplay, setting, world building and music didn't contribute to it lol
uhhh, I hope Final Fantasy VII doesnt get this treatment. The fucking guitarrs just ruins everything and they keep on having them in EVERY SINGLE SONG!

This opening does a great job of creating an adventure that feels so vast and its characters so small in the grand scheme of things simultaneously.
I always did enjoy this song. One of the best early Tales openings if you ask me.
***** Indeed XD
***** It's a great 2D Tales but I love Zestiria.
*Best Tales opening. It still holds up even today very well.
@@suiken3149 Agreed. Still up there as one of the best if not the best.

I was only able to play this game once, but it has since captured my imagination and never let go. Simply a beautiful game.
This is the most nostalgic song I’ve literally never heard before
I remember when it first came out. I remember hearing the SNES version. It was crazy hearing this kind of song on the SNES at the time.
@@trollingisasport how?
@@nessdbest8708 How what?
@@trollingisasport because it never came out on the snes

Québecois français par ici.
the PSP version that came with the Narakiri Dungeon remake it's even better, but it hasn't been translated :(
I'm glad they remade this game for ps1 😢
One of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard
好懷念在超級任天堂的第一款有人配音的遊戲, 傳奇系列的元祖, 有感動的feeling
There is no way this was animated in 1998
This looks like its from 2005 or 2006
Yeah for real. It looks like cell animation in parts.
Remind me of my lost childhood
永遠不會忘記的一首歌
僕の青春時代に良い感動と彩りを与えてくれた素晴らしいゲームです！
このゲームに携わってくださった人全てに感謝します😊
I love the music. Probably my favorite out of all the openings
Almost as if it's an ode to all the tales games
1:47 it’s just like Colette and Lloyd in Flanoir 😭
❤ありがとう御座います❗

Remastering this game would be a delight... sadly this game has already been milked and remastered a few times already back in 2000-2010
not remaster, but a remake

one of my favorite game ever... love the story and anything in this game
Ooooh the perfect 90s feeling~
Captivating melody.
I'm going to cry, beautiful song
This may be bad Idea, but I wouldn't mind this classic of a game getting the remake treatment it deserves
I fucking wish 🤞
It's called Tales of Phantasia X on the psp
They probably will …only to not localize it at all for some reason…
This will be the best Tales game for me...
Wow, you can actually understand the words in this one!
Need new remake for ps4
Times that will never be forgotten for treasures like this.
傳奇系列永遠還是初代最經典，個人唯一一款全主機版本破關的遊戲

i remember just sitting in front my tv and just having this repeat like 6 times before playing the game

The animation in 30 years ago is much more beautiful than the animation nowadays
Am I the only one who gets Yu Yu Hakusho vibes from certain parts of this version’s opening?

Damn this op is bopping I like it as much tales of rebirths op
from here started the legendry game
we are old 😔
omg once you see the derpbow, you never unsee it!
I'd never seen the PSX version opening before and I'm so relieved they didn't just write a new entirely different song.

The best tales of game including destiny
Doing a playthrough right now. First time I am playing a Tales game. So, I decided to start with the first one.
@1:43 lols this game already foreshadowing Tales of Arise I see Lenegis and the Renan planet
This brings back memories.... 😢😭
Namco should release it on Steam!!
Am stuck on this opening, after i stepped into teleport...

I don't know about this....I like the original SFC opening, but this one is good as well. The song on the sfc version though seems a lot better....
