#BlueDragon #Eternity #Reaction
As how I learned of this track from the joke game Charles Barkley Shut Up & Jam Gaiden, and was listed in the game files as "Jesus Christ That Guy from Deep Purple Sang this" .
But seriously, Ian Gillan & Nobuo Umematsu, what a wild combo for your standard boss music.
I remember it more as Vinceborg's theme than for Blue Dragon.
I've never played Blue Dragon, sadly - it seems good though, got them Chrono vibes... But I went to this song because I knew it was the one in Barkley. A billion megajoules of b-ball energy radiated into my hands and forced me to click it.
If the lead singer sounds familiar, he is Ian Gillian of Deep Purple, one of the bands that helped inspire Nobuo Uematsu's style! I'd encourage anyone to go back and listen to Highway Star, and you'll instantly recognize the identical screams in both songs.
jesus christ the guy from deep purple sang this
Blue dragon was my ff7 as a kid, and my god it’s too good, it holds up super well and it’s very pretty looking
Ikr it’s my favorite game of all time
This game is what got me into jrpgs
@@theoriginalfluff5317 ikr its the first one i played and i instantly loved it and its what got me into the jrpg and even basic rpgs in general
I'm so happy you covered this song! This song is absolute madness in the best way possible! Deep Purple's Ian Gillian screaming his brains out and Nobuo Uematsu just SLAYING on that keyboard.
SO glad to see some appreciation for this track. I remember my buddy and i would chuckle and joke about how corny the Vocals were, but all jokes aside it really got your blood pumping during a boss fight.
Oh ya. Regardless how corny or over the top the singing can get. This song is hype and gets you ready to fight.
For anyone who hasn’t ever played Blue Dragon, Eternity is boss battle music. With all its energy it really does fit in with the feel of those battles. Been a long time since I played the game, but I still listen to Eternity regularly. It’s not a song you’d want to forget.
Also worth noting, this soundtrack was composed by Nobuo Uematsu. The game itself was created by Hironobu Sakaguchi, who was also the creator of Final Fantasy. This and Lost Odyssey were both created by his own game studio, Mistwalker.
and all the art is drawn by Akira Toriyama, the maker of dragonball.
Man this game has some fun songs.
Blue Dragon is best known for being the debut game of Mistwalker, the studio Hironobu Sakaguchi founded after leaving Square. It's a fun game that suffered from having the kind of expectations that come with being the first work from the father of Final Fantasy after going independent so it got more criticism than it probably deserved over how traditional a JRPG it was. Lost Odyssey came out a year later from the same studio and very much overshadowed it by being the next gen looking epic people were expecting.
Both of them suffered from being Xbox exclusives though, the market in Japan was and still is totally dominated by Nintendo and Sony.
And now Sakaguchi is playing XIV. He says it feels like a junior high reunion.
"Man this game has some fun songs."
What I wouldn't give to find a version of In Search of the Ruins longer than 2 minutes. It's such a catchy tune.
Also, I LOVED Lost Odyssey I even dare say it's the last great Final Fantasy game. It's sad to hear that Mystwalker has no desire to remaster it. But I really wish they would port it to PC.
I remember seeing this game several times in the store but never thinking that much of it when I owned my 360. Damn I missed out.
Thanks for the video, I found it quite enjoyable! I remember playing Blue Dragon when I was younger, tracking down all of the super difficult optional bosses and feeling so in the zone jamming out to this song while fighting them. The song alone is likely a huge contributor to it being my favorite game of all time, just so much nostalgia.
Dude that was sick, I was like "Wtf it's Judas Priest!" as soon as it started! LOL. Gotta look up this game and its OST now!
I don't recall ever seeing or hearing about this game but if this is how the music for it is I'm interested now. Takes me back to growing up listening to this style and I love the energy.
I preferred it over ff7 personally, deep leveling system, turn based, big set pieces, good story, fun characters oooh gotta play it again
since you reacted to this song, you should probably react to the final boss theme called "The seal is broken". It basically mixes gregorian style music with metal. An absolute banger
Our raid lead in FFXIV would suddenly start playing this to get us hype for whatever we were doing that night. Special song for me :D
I remember being a kid and never being able to get past the first boss "Flamboyant Dinoram" and would have to rely on my Sister beating it..
But this fucking song always stuck with me and I listen to it frequently from time to time.
If the art style looks familiar that would be because Blue Dragon had character designs done by Akira Toriyama of Dragonball fame
God, I love this game. It's definitely one of the more obscure 360 games and anime series. My husband and I would jam out to this song anytime it played during my Nth playthrough. Shoutout to whoever recommended this track for a reaction. 👍
This is easily a very underrated RPG. It's pathetically easy on normal mode, but pleasantly challenging on hard. The soundtrack is top-tier as well. My personal favourites of this game are Cave/Cavern. They are 2 songs, but the latter one is basically a slightly faster version with some amazing guitar play added to it.
"patheticly easy" *looks at final boss*
@@crowcoregames1785 The only boss that wasn't a complete joke on normal was the final boss. My first playthrough was on the hard mode though. I can say that I absolutely loved it. But it is pretty much a jump from very easy to very hard, that's how big the difference is. Well, maybe just 'hard' once you get past the first disc or so.
I'm not sure if you can still get the free Super Hard mode DLC these days (includes hard mode and a harder difficulty, but that latter one can only be beaten with an NG+ because the enemies are simply far too strong).
@@thenonexistinghero probibly not but the 2nd shark fight is also hard imo
@@crowcoregames1785 I forget exactly since it was quite a while ago for me. But I do recall beating just about every boss in 2-3 turns on the normal mode save for the final one. There might have been a boss that gave me slightly more trouble than pathetically easy, but I'm pretty sure every boss other than the final one was a pushover for me.
I am really experienced with JRPG's though and have beaten quite a few hard ones (and ones on the hard difficulty). Something like Final Fantasy Crisis Core was not really meant to be played on the hard mode from a fresh new game, but I still did it and beat it because it was possible. I suppose a few bosses may prove to be slightly challenging for someone who isn't as apt and experienced at these types of games.
@@thenonexistinghero trust me when i say the 2nd shark fight is a pain
Nobody uematsu the composer of most final fantasy games worked on the music in blue dragon, he's probably the keyboardist in this song, it certainly sounds like him.
The way I learned about this song was from facing Vinceborg from Barkley Shut Up & Jam Gaiden
Song mentioned in this video!
Iron Maiden - Prowler
(Shoutout Nobuo)

Another top tier JRPG's of the golden X360 era, damm the feels. I miss those Mistwalker games
blue dragon. what a ride that game was.
blue dragon is also an older anime, not just this game. I didnt know the name of the song, but once i saw you were doing a blue dragon song i just knew it would be *this* one.
I'm sure enough people have by now said enough on this game to give you an idea of Blue Dragon as a game. It is a JRPG exclusive to XBox (released originally on the 360, and available to play on newer consoles via backwards compatibility. The work of a GOD TEIR dream team consisting of:
Hironobu Sakaguchi (creator of Final Fantasy)
Akira Toriyama (just the guy that made a little known manga called Dragon Ball... Idk if anyone knows about that, someone might have heard about it, maybe...)
and Nobuo Uematsu (legendary composer for Final Fantasy.)
This is actually the the boss battle theme, so in game, this music actually loops from that end solo transitioning us back into the first verse, and you do not get that end in game, that is essentially soundtrack exclusive.
The vocalist of the song is Deep Purple frontman, Ian Gillan. The band of which being a huge inspiration for Uematsu as a composure. So having such a legendary singer supplying the vocals made this boss theme on such an epic level.
When I first heard this song, I was over at a friend's house and he was playing this on his 360. He got to the first boss (of which I didn't realize he was that early in the game at the time) and when heard the opening of this theme, my jaw dropped to the floor... I knew I HAD to have this game. The day I bought this game, I was singing this song somewhat quietly going into GameStop, and quietly to myself on the way home. This song is THE high point in this game imo. The game is pretty good, story is ok, battles are good. I don't feel like giving a more in depth review right now, but if there is in interest, it's been a few years since my last playthrough, but I think I can muster up a good enough summarization of my personal experience with this game.
I have a little nephew who very recently took interest in the game. He's still a little too early for the first battle. I'm looking forward to seeing him react to this boss theme when it starts.
Blue Dragon was a thing I tried to get into so hard. I tried the game and forced myself through it despite not enjoying it much at all, I watched the anime when the dub first aired then watched all of it in the subbed version. Then I went back to finish the game to force my way into trying to like it until the end with no luck. This song remains as the only thing from the game I remember liking from the game and is still on my usual driving and grinding playlists.
I completely forgot about this track 🤣 loved this game
thank you for the early upload 🙏
when i played this for the first time i thought they got Jack Black to sing this song because the energy of the singer is so similar to his style.
Love this game. I remember when this track began blasting during a boss fight, I lost my goddamn mind! It was so unexpected, because everything else had been what about you expect from Nubuo Uematsu.
It's been so long since I've heard this song
i am mad to this day that i cannot get this on PC, i got all the way to the third disk 10 years ago then my Xbox broke.
this song is the Boss music that plays on every major boss fight. Blue Dragon has a few hidden tracks that blew me away when i was 13. the mecha robo march theme, Eternity and some of the Ruins themes absolutely made me stop just to listen.
there is an anime of the same name, with a completely different storyline. having that Akira Toriyama look for it's character's eyes, like Dragon ball and Dragon quest.
Would be nice if it could get a rerelease of some kind.
Back compat on Xbox, it usually sits at like $5, go get it
sutch a shame they never ported it but may i sugest a emulator
Seeing videos like this helps me belief that this game is still alive.
This game has my favorite final boss song imo. The Seal is Broken > Everything. It's a fun game but couldn't match the hype of the legends working on it.
I love this game very much and I recommend playing it
One of my favorite games ever, I got this game and Kung Fu Panda/Lego Indiana Jones w my 360.
I know I'm not a patreon but I would like to make a small recommendation too. Been loving your videos soo much but I'm just a friendly lurker :P. Song: Granblue Fantasy OST 2 - 05. vs Tiamat Magna (Omega)
That's coming already :D
ah blue dragon a underrated gem of a weird rpg game
Damn there's a lot of cool music out there huh?
Loved this game as a kid I also sucked at it
Jesus Christ the guy from deep purple sang this. And yes typing this into youtube brings ya to the song.,
The vocalist is Ian Gillain in this, i like to believe that this was him and his friends just screwing around and having a good time in the studio. though I'm probably wrong xD
This game was my childhood
Goddammit Vinceborg...
Best track
Man Blue Dragon is THAT game you buy a Xbox 360 for 😍 and i am here playing Awakened Shadow for Nintendo DS XD
Blue Dragon is great. There was also a TCG based on it that was fun as well but unfortunately it didn't last.
This was the only recommended song? How do you recommend the soundtrack to Blue Dragon and don't even mention the Seal is Broken? That's one of Nobuo's bests, on par with One Winged Angel, The Extreme, Dancing Mad, and Howl of the Departed! Maybe they just wanted for you to listen to this one first?
Did you play this game dude? Listen to Cavern and the alternate version. This game has amazing music courtesy of Nobuo!
I thought I knew the game but the moment I saw it, it went to "Nope, definitely don't!"
Somehow I was expecting something cute-sy, but I was completely wrong, okay :D An amazing track, though!
From what i've heard from my friend who played the game, this is the only track that sounds like this.
I know people online also really like "The Seal is Broken".
You know that you should never judge a book by its cover 🧐.
Jesse have you already listened to Sonic or Shin Megami Tensei music? If not can you react to some?
Absolutely some persona 4 or 5 would be my choice
Both are coming :D
(I did sonic my first week of reactions)
This was kinda cheesy, in a really, cool, really fun way. But yeah, it also keeps reminding me of Tenacious D's music and for some reason I can totally picture Jack Black just doing to town on his guitar with this town.
haaaa, yea i see that
It was a show before they made the game
The video game was first
Josuke.
I don't think I know what Blue Dragon is, I thought it was a jrpg. And now I'm very confused.
It is a jrpg, turn based, party focused, magick, great all around
More like Deep Purple Dragon.
