"I don't know if Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is a series or if it's a one off thing" - Jesse, in a video about OSTs from two different Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Games 😂
Fire Island Volcano is one of my favorite "I need the audio equivalent of caffeine" tracks, such amazing energy. Whoever came up with that Celtic didgeridoo sound needs a medal.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is a fantastic spinoff series, probably one of my favorite series of games of all time. Ive replayed them so, so many times. Its kind of what you call a 'cult classic', they were panned by critics at the time, but they had a ton of fans anyways, and the fans who loved it continue to love it dearly to this day. PMD is a series with so much fun and so much emotion. Its the first video game that made my cry, and it still makes me cry to this day, no matter how many times I replay them. Plus, you get to actually play *as* the Pokemon rather than a human collecting them, which is a fun angle. There are 5 PMD games (though only 4 anyone actually cares about since one of them was japan wii exclusive for some reason), sort of. Like the main series games, they tend to release in pairs in the beginning at least. [Red Rescue Team, Blue Rescue Team], [Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness, Explorers of Sky], [Gates to Infinity], and [Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon]. Run Away, Fugitives comes from Red/Blue Rescue Team, a pair of games that was released on the GBA and DS around the DS's launch. You're effectively banned from the town you've been living and have to escape with your lives. You run away to the quiet, snowy forests, hoping to meet someone who can prove your innocence. So yeah, its a sad song. But with a tinge of hope and perseverance. Its a very pretty track. Red/Blue Rescue Team has a remake called Rescue Team DX on the switch, which youve reacted to songs from before. Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon is the newest non-remake game. It came out on the Nintendo 3DS (a bespoke console that came out after the DS but before the Switch). Fire Island Volcano is a dungeon theme that takes place in a volcano, yeah. And its a banger at that.
Pokémon mystery dungeon music is so good and the “Dark matter” theme is probably top 10 of my favorite Pokémon themes, the games are so unique compared to the regular Pokémon games and will always have a special place in my heart
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is the kind of game that'll blindside you with the emotional core that hides behind its cutesy, kid-friendly aesthetic. Never *too* dark or scary, but it knows how to subvert expectations to leave a strong impression. Without going into specifics, "Run Away, Fugitives" plays during the immediate follow-through of exactly such a moment. The game's tone is fun and cheery... until it's suddenly not. Kid me was definitely startled and taken aback by that moment.
@@laggalot1012 I just finished the first rescue team again after many years a couple of days ago. I've shed a tear at the ending again. And I'm 30 years old. Those games really know how to get to you.
"Run Away, Fugitives" was composed by Arata Iiyoshi, later arranged by Keisuke Ito for the DX remake on the Switch! =) I don't know for sure, but it's likely that Keisuke Ito composed the Fire Island Volcano theme! =D
YEAHHHH Fire Island Volcano! It's one of my all time favorite VGM tracks EVER! The rhythm just never stops filling you with excitement and adrenaline, and that 30 second buildup of an intro is SO GOOD of a leadup into such a BANGER of a song! Fire Island Volcano actually has a sister song I was hoping you would listem back to back with it, as "Showdown with a Volcanic Entei!" is the end boss theme of this dungeon and shares many similar instruments and vibes.
The Pokemon Mystery Dungeon spinoff series is great! You play as a human turned into a Pokemon by mysterious means (the mechanism varies every game) who swiftly meets a partner Pokemon aka the other central main character, and together you end up forming a team to aid the Pokemon of a nearby community via rescues and exploration into Mystery Dungeons, which are basically semi randomised locations filled with enemy 'wild' Pokemon, items and other cool things (think how Hades did it's various layers of the underworld but have it being turn based instead of hack and slash). The games are a LOT more story focused than the main line Pokemon games, with both the player character and the partner pokemon having well defined personalities and goals, and well. Each game has a different vibe, but they all tend to hit HARD with the feels and (aside from PMD: Red/Blue) they tend to lean towards cosmic horror as well. Basically they're kinda like G rated Persona games staring Pokemon and I highly recommend them~ XD My personal fav is 'Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky' since the base plot is amazing, the partner especially adorable and this particular version (unlike Explorers of Darkness/Time) has bonus episodes where the player can play as some of the side characters and learn more about them, but Super Pokemon Mystery Dungeon isn't too far behind it what with it's incredible music even by PMD standards, plot twists that builds upon prior twists in the series and a lot of quality of life features when it comes to recruiting Pokemon and tracking one's progression (also I really loved it's particular flavor of cosmic horror and how they used it
Pokemon mystery dungeon will always have a special place in my heart for it's OSTs as these soundtracks were the first time I had ever realized what a leitmotif was (and also cried on just a leitmotif alone). Despite the fact that I was (and still am) very tone-deaf.
The fugitive arc. Because of a liar taking advantage of an old legend and the colective panic of others, most of everyone who trusted you turned against you and believing your mere existance is causing a world disaster, now you and your partner, who never stops believing in you, are being hunted down as something that must be destroyed, and your chasers won't stop until getting rid of you for good. Is the first time in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series where you feel hopeless, where the warmth of your home turned into a coldness that forces you to be on the run, probably forever. Is quite sad and for most people an experience like that would make someone lose trust on the world, but the protagonist is strong and knows the others are scared and missinformed, but the only thing you can do as long your head has a price because of a baseless lie is to run.
YESSS! Pokémon Mystery Dungeon! This series has so many banger themes, hopefully you can react to more! Fire Island Volcano left me speechless during my first playthrough, it's that good!
Yea!!! Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon is my one of my favorite soundtracks from a game... ever :) If you like the harmony and rhythm in the volcano theme, there's a whole 100-song soundtrack it belongs to and it's got lotssss of fun stuff like the track you listened to here! The Partner's theme, Reverse Mountain, and Dark Matter phase 2 definitely belong in a VGM standards collection imo
Mystery dungeon(MD) is a game genre akin to dungeon crawler, originally a Dragon Quest(DQ) spinoff; later got its own base series and still other games have made a mystery dungeon spinoff. so far i remember the og DQ, shiren, pkmn(7 games), and etrian oddyssey. pkmn i know its super story oriented. shiren seems hardmode and grindy
PMD series has some of my absolute favorite tracks from the Pokémon series overall. I should do a replay of those games and also finally get around to Super Mystery Dungeon. :Vb
Mystery dungeon is pretty fun! You play as the pokemon and explore dungeons and untamed wilderness. Has a good bit of story tension for a Pokemon game too.
9:45 a Nintendo DS had power comparable to a Nintendo 64 but a bit better. To show this off they remade Super Mario 64 for the DS and it looked a bit better. A Nintendo 3DS then had power comparable to a GameCube but also a bit better. The New 3DS model was further enhanced and was able to play the first Xenoblade Chronicles with Shulk and company which you played (was the version I first played). It was a bit of a stripped down version of the original Wii Version but it worked, I had my fun with it. For the 3DS there where also remakes of Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask and they look way way better. The New 3DS model also had a smaller second stick to move the camera so it was a easy way to play all these 3D games just on a smaller scale and portable. Also also it has 3D in the name because it can do that, you can play the games on it on 3D like you would watch a 3D movie in cinema, but you don’t need and 3D glasses for it. The console had a slider on the side to slide 3D on and off how you like it anytime. You just look at it and it works… may cause headaches if you are not used to it though, but that didn’t happen often to me. In a Mario game for example you were unable to see a path in a level without using the 3D feature cause you could then see how the platforms worked. Oh yeah and the 3DS was able to play DS games. DS game cardridges where squares and 3DS ones the same size but had a little extra bump at the top so they couldn’t be put in a normal DS. That’s probably also how they will handle Switch 2. The current Switch cardridges can be put in Switch 2 but the new Switch 2 exclusive games will probably have some extra bump or so on it, so we can’t put them in Switch 1.
Its a series and “explorers of sky” is commonly the most popular one in the series… prob why its a few hundred dollars now to buy a real copy. Its a very long game with tons of actual emotional plot and amazing music and story telling. Would 100% suggest you watch a playthrough or try the game
Mystery Dungeon was a beautiful experience and the music is a big part of that ❤ Also just wondering if you've listened to more Yugioh Master Duel? I highly reccommend "Complete Theme #4" th-cam.com/video/Vk38XLBB1lY/w-d-xo.html

I think dark matter is my 2nd favorite song ever, and not even from nostalgia since I only played it last year. Absolute peak
fire island peakcano
this game have sooo many celtic dungeon musics
Never did I ever think I'd see you react to fire island volcano. This is fantastic 😭😭😭

Those games really know how to get to you.
Run Away Fugitives has a new version in Rescue Team DX that's worth listening to, as well as a sequel piece called Escape Through the Snow.
There's a motif in Run Away, Fugitive. It's the final boss theme. Specifically Defy the Legends.
how did i never notice this? thats so awesome
I was just thinking about Fire Island Volcano and how little love I see it get for how much I love the song. Super glad to see it show up here!

MORE MYSTERY DUNGEON YESSS
The Pokémon mystery dungeon games have these amazing ost's that punch waaaay up.
Kid Icarus Uprising is a notable 3ds game youve done
Pokemon mystery dungeon will always have a special place in my heart for it's OSTs as these soundtracks were the first time I had ever realized what a leitmotif was (and also cried on just a leitmotif alone). Despite the fact that I was (and still am) very tone-deaf.
Pokémon mystery dungeon is one of my favourite series of all time, all of the ost's are great too
We can see that with your PP haha

I like the touch of the gift bows on ur mic lol 🎄
YESSS! Pokémon Mystery Dungeon!
This series has so many banger themes, hopefully you can react to more!
Fire Island Volcano left me speechless during my first playthrough, it's that good!
PMD series always succeeds on matching atmosphere with their music.
If you've ever heard Gladion's Theme from Pokemon Sun & Moon, you'd hear Run Away Fugitives in it... Gladion is a run away fugitive afterall
holy christmas this music is so emotional i physically felt my body react in grief
Mystery Dungeonnnnnnnnn, the osts for these games are superb! Always great to see your reactions to Pokemon in general 😊
pokemon mystery dungeon my beloved
Yea!!! Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon is my one of my favorite soundtracks from a game... ever :)
If you like the harmony and rhythm in the volcano theme, there's a whole 100-song soundtrack it belongs to and it's got lotssss of fun stuff like the track you listened to here!

Run Away, Fugitives makes me cry every time I listen to it, so many memories..

Its interesting these game has a different composer than the main line games..maybe cause its a spinoff game
Mystery dungeon is pretty fun! You play as the pokemon and explore dungeons and untamed wilderness. Has a good bit of story tension for a Pokemon game too.
I like the Mystery dungeon saga MORE than the mainline games is THAT GOOD
I actually think I like the Mystery Dungeon games more than the mainline games
God I love the Mystery Dungeon series

3DS , you have done zinnia theme
Yooo this is a great doublet of songs. Absolutely nothing to do with each other but both great songs
I love you so much, bro
Mystery Dungeon was a beautiful experience and the music is a big part of that ❤ Also just wondering if you've listened to more Yugioh Master Duel? I highly reccommend "Complete Theme #4" th-cam.com/video/Vk38XLBB1lY/w-d-xo.html
Big arms from Sonic Generations 3DS is a 3DS track you did
Oh and since it's a rogue-like, like Hades, you might very well enjoy your time if you wanna play PMD 1, 2, DX or Super PMD some day. =D
Not quite roguelike
You find stuff
But it's more like actually looting rather than an item specifically for a dungeon
