I would always spend about a minute there just making Benjamin dance back and forth in the tiny space you have there just so I could rock out to this theme. It's SO awesome.

Very much the same. As I would be returning to my quest, I'd be wondering "what was that place?", "why does it have such grand music?", and "is that the final dungeon? Because that music sounds like final dungeon music." I played FF4 at the same time/age as a kid, and watching my mum going through the Lunar Underground in FF4 and thinking how the music there had the same air of finality (a concept I was too young to grasp at 10 years old).

My motivational Theme for traveling to the GYM.

The SNES "distortion guitar" sound kicks ASS. Made me a metalhead before I was even 9.

As I heard this music for the first time, I could envision He-man raising his sword up and shouting his war cry as he ran toward Skeletor's hordes. And I just sat there for the longest time just listening.

Truly a great game. It doesn't require you to do so much planning, time wasting, or strategy. BUT the soundtrack will keep you coming back for more! One of the BEST total soundtracks ever put together for a game. These old school RPGs are a lot like the first Conan movie. Not much in the way of dialogue and the music tells the story. This is something modern RPGs tend to lack. I'm looking at you Final Hallway XIII.

what I find interesting about this song is that because they use a rock/metal soundfont for the original version, I actually greatly prefer it to remixes done on electric guitar

Happy New Year 2024 Captainabrik, thank you for all the excellent OST content over the years. Cheers as the legacy lives on.

I always went to this zone just to listen to the music. You knew you were getting close to the end when you heard this, shit's getting serious!

It’s a tight, simple, light-hearted RPG with excellent execution. In my opinion, this game is nearly flawless. I absolutely love it and have replayed it about a bazillion times.

This is about as good as your gonna get on the SNES. They didnt have CD audio or anything back then

Classic SNES "metal-as-fuck" music!

It's times like this that I wish i owned this game..

Sound track artists today should really take a look at this game for inspiration for today's RPGs. In my opinion, very few can compete with the complete soundtrack of Mystic Quest.

Definitely not, it was composed by Ryuji Sasai and Yasuhiro Kawakami, and you can tell there were two composers as well. For example, the town theme and the battle themes have styles so different they couldn't be the same composer.

Dem gitaur rifts. Oh yeah!

At 0:09, I always fight the urge to shout "ARE YOU READY".

Uematsu's earlier work was his best but I think after a while, he just started recycling the same riffs and segments to create his newer works... its all starting to sound the same. I agree though, this game has one of my favorite soundtracks.

this game is hated but we can all agree the music is great.
