Every time I used to turned on the Sega CD I would listen to this song in its entirety, getting all pumped up to continue my saga. What a great game. Best one ive played IMO.
You wrote this 7 years ago and here I am 30 years on watching this on youtube and finding your comment! I played this intro too evetime I loaded up the game, when I neared last 3rd of the game this title brought tears when I loaded it up! What a classic, my first RPG and my favourite!
@@goosethemighty you wrote this 1 month ago and here I am at 40, agreeing with you both. This classic little gem is timeless.
@@goosethemighty my thoughts too! I'll be coming back to this one my whole life
Same!
Love this game
I will never get tired of this song. Along with Night Trap and the Sonic CD theme. Somehow, for some reason Sega CD games had absolute bangers for theme songs.
I played this game on Sega CD. When I was young, I thought it was awesome.
The singer slayed the hell out of this song. 0:36 That “ON THROUGH THE NIIIIIGHT~!” Gave me chills.
She bloody kills it. The whole damn is unabashedly cheesy, and I live for it.
"FIGHTING THROUGH THE DARKNESS..." 🔥😭🔥
Why aren't JRPG intros like this anymore! Freakin' Awesome!
Sadly cuz the 80s are gone, these games will never be the same.
The emotion from this song made me wanna be a hero the whole game, that feeling is gone from today's games. Today's are mostly blah, I'm a hero I guess....
"80s"
Anyways the duality of man and shit like that
I recorded that song on my little micro tape recorder and would play it on my way to school to keep me focused. Loved it so much!
I loved this game too. I agree, the best anime intros were on the Sega CD and TG16.
Still my favorite RPG ever. I remember waking up and wrapping up in a blanket on my bed playing this as a kid, just spending my Christamas break grinding on it and my friends and I getting excited little by little. Yup, time to emulate!
Love the game too, loved part 2 slightly more though.
This and Phantasy Star were my reason to hurry up and get home from school QUICKLY everyday! :)
Watching & listening to this in 2022, the Sega CD version still holds up amazingly well today😊
I own the both on Sega CD, and PS1 and have Silver Star Harmony on PSP. Trust me you can never get enough Lunar this is one of my favorite series along with the old Final Fantasy, Phantasy Star, and Y's.
About to play Ys and Phantasy Star for the first time. I know it's crazy I missed them as a rpg fan but I was too wrapped into all the other titles
Recently got this game for Sega CD again. Ah, the memories!
On another note, don't you love how Kyle is holding his sword at the very end of this? CLASSY
ahhh how dragonmaster dyne would love that his legend lives on!
Still have both Lunars. Glad I kept them. Classic goodness.
DON'T EVER SELL THEM. THEY ARE GOLD!
The first time I listened to this song was the special soundtrack CD that came with Lunar Silver Star Story on Playstation. I didn't know this was the US song from the Sega CD version. I always found it better than the newer song.
Still gives me the feels decades later😻😢
I know, right?
Bought that game back in the days just because of the intro :D
I still have this beautiful game on my sega cd ready to go!
My 1st JRPG and my favorite video game of ALL TIME. This changed my life
When all the land is peaceful and there is no real threat to us at last.
Then comes the time for love two hearts colliding into one great hymn.
But there are winds foreboding and there is a dark storm that soon will pass.
Kiss me my love then go the time for valor has returned again.
On through the night. Keep marching on.
Fighting through the darkness all is evil still we must press on.
Friendship forged in battle watch your backs now take heed!
Come back to me.
Fighting through the darkness all is evil still we must press on.
Flying toward the power that enslaves us yet we are not done.
Racing toward the climax of the battle to return to love.
Valiant 'gainst the power evil forces take heed!
Was looking for some footage for a review... stayed for the music. Love this song.
+DariaPlays Me too :) It's great
DariaPlaysRPGs
Heh. Fancy seeing you here. This is the first RPG I played. I love this opening.
8-bitBishop I've only played the PSOne version but I can't get enough of the SCD music. Thanks for the notification now I can watch this clip a few more times. :P
DariaPlaysRPGs
Yeah the music is fantastic. I remember when the psone version came out. I was so excited. I popped that sucker in and was quickly dissatisfied.
I strongly recommend the original. It has charm and character to it that the psone version lacks.
Hey daria
The game of my life. I hope to play through one more time before I'm gone
I can't believe i've never bothered looking this up before. This is so much better than the PS1 version
It's such an awesome classic! A hidden gem.
galan0 how?
galan0 its definitely more upbeat and i LOVE IT
funny guy
The game is better on sega cd
Damn his brings back memories. Probably one of the few shining moments of the Sega CD
I agree. This and the sequel.
+Prince Raw D Nah, lots of cool stuff for Sega CD.
Popful Mail, Vay, Dark Wizard, the ever immortal Snatcher, Sonic CD, Rise of the Dragon, Mansion of Hidden Souls, Panic, Silpheed, The Terminator, tons of good games on it, just nobody ever played them. It was a great system if you knew what to look for.
+Sonny Fernandez Agreed! Sega CD has some great gems, especially those you mentioned.
+Sonny Fernandez Don't forget keio flying squadron
+Ryan Wheeling That's one I never played but always wanted to! I'd get it, but it's going for 1,000,000,000 dollars on ebay....
this is the best jrpg of all time period. this opening is fire even the phone is fantastic too. but story and characters made this adventure wholesome. too bad we didn't get a part 3
Sweet Althena, this intro takes me back. Wonderful game. Played through it so many times back in the day.
Me and my brothers got this and other games along with a Sega CD from a cousin of ours. Another cousin insisted I saw Luna before she gets hijacked by plot; dunno why.
Couldn't get past the Water Dragon in Meribia Sewers for the longest time, so I'd keep starting over; lather, rinse, repeat. Must've been in my early teens when I finally beat the dragon and played through the rest of the game during summer. I'd stay with my grandparents, God rest their souls, while Dad was working and Mom and my brothers were at the Boy Scout Camp in Guajataca, Puerto Rico. Best summer of my life by far.
So many parts were a pain in the a%$, but having a strategy guide made the blows less painful. Got stuck for the longest time with the Dragon Angels at the Goddess Tower. Figured out I needed Dragon Quake to kill them ASAP. The final battles against Xenobia and Magic Emperor were a bit of a letdown, but ok, nonetheless. On one playthrough I maxed out everybody levels all the way to 99.
I looked at that pic at the game manual which showed Ghaleon fighting the Black Dragon with Alex and co. Spoiler alert: he was the bad guy all along, no way to keep him. Even wrote to Working Designs about it; their reply must still be somewhere around my house.
Ghaleon and Xanatos from Gargoyles are the two 90s fictional villains that left a lasting impression on me. John Truitt is a fricking legend in human form. I understand he's a busy man and retired from voice acting, but it'd mean the world to me to hear his Ghaleon voice in newer media, unlikely as it might seem.
This game and Sewer Shark was all I needed 😂😂
Great now I’m emotional 🥲
I loveedd this intro, it gets you PUMPED roflll
This was my favorite game for Sega CD when I was a kid
Thanks for your site I've been using it for 3 years now it opened my eyes on a lot of great games that came out before I was even born and I really really appreciate what you have done 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
+598gh You're welcome :) I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed it
Oh the memories. This was one of my favorite JRPGs back in the day.
Really took me back, thanks for putting this up.
Wow. Talk about memory lane here. I remember how horrible the Gen 1 Sega CD was. It blew a fuse on me 2 times and cost 60-80 bucks to get it fixed both times! What a crock. But games like Lunar 1 & 2 made it SO worth it :-)
+PretzelDude Lol yikes! That's awful. Yeah Sega CD had some really good games.
Thanks for posting this! This was one of my favorite game themes, ever! lol
Wow! So many great memories of this game. I remember watching this intro a lot. :-) I know you uploaded this 12 years ago, but thank you for doing it. :-)
This is such a great song for getting pumped up. Makes me feel like a kid again.
Agreed :) Great song
Best opening
Talk about nostalgia. I used to love this game back in the day. Still do.
BADASS. The Complete intro is beautiful, but this is another level.
This is the kind of cheesyness you could only find in the 90's. Best ten years of my life.
Hehe, the opening in the PS1 version isn’t much better to be honest. 😋
Sega CD and 3do were reviled by gamers who never owned one. Those who did own them though fondly remember gems like this game
I remember you from ED. Are you still there?
+Luis Joestar Yep, lurk a bit.
This was the best RPG I ever played, and I've played a lot. When Eternal Blue came out, I didn't just beg my dad to get it for me... I explained how no other game had ever made me fall in love before. Of course, there's one bad memory attached: when you go to the bar and the girl is singing there, and the recording of her comes on (the good singer, not the bad one who sings the same song) some hooligan kids from next door heard it and started singing it back mockingly through my window.
I still loved it, and next time a song game on, I just turned it up.
They were just jealous.
because in the middle of 2022 it still sounds so cool. I like it when he says very strongly: throbbing
oh man, definitely better than the psx opening(I almost wish I owned this version just because of that but then again the graphics of psx look a little better....)
Agreed :)
Yeah this is so awesome! I miss intros like this!
fav intro for sure!! amazing song!
This was mind-blowing in 1992/1993.
1:24 flying towards the power that enslaves us lol cue for me to go to work 😂
I fell in love with this song when i pled this game for the first time a few days ago on my new sega cd.
When i wad a kid this was peak gaming
Still love getting Alex up in levels to four hits per round! Can still hear it: smack, smack, smack, crack!
Holy crap. This is like my all time favorite game on PS, but I never saw this before.
i love the song.... must have on the sega/mega cd
Banger of a song
Woooo this shit kept me running the mile in 6th grade!
this song has me "racing to the climax"
The cheese just ads to the 90s-ness. This song reeks of that smell of that one Blockbuster, you know what it is.
I agree! It was very well made.
Been listening to this song for 2 months shy of 30 years and just hear me out.... Try playing this at playback speed x0.75. What a jam! I feel the tempo is too fast for the American vocals but didn't try that until today.
Wish I still had my Sega Genesis CDX, the all in one unit. Games like this and Lunar Eternal Blue made it worth owning one.
I agree! They're excellent games
Love it!
I love it too!
When I bought this game for the PS1 (having never played the Sega CD original) and heard this song on the included soundtrack, I thought this was sung by Xenobia during some evil forces montage FMV sequence lol!
wow way more 80s even though its from the 90s lol
Me too! I loved it
Man, this song inspired one of my most fun to rp characters for Fantasy Hero.
Having only played the Ps1 version, I’d only heard this on the soundtrack they included. I didn’t know that it was the opening song.
One of my favorite games of ALL TIME!
+Greg Morse It's the best!
+FantasyAnime My disc somehow always froze at the black dragon if I remember correctly. I had to turn the system on its side to continue on lol.
+Greg Morse Lol really? Bizarre
lol my favorite game of all time sonic cd! Sega CD has really good games tbh
best intro song to almost anything.
Wow, call my crazy but this sounds absolutely kick butt. Any idea why they changed it in the PSX version?
And you can do it again via Sega CD emulation on your computer! :) The link in this video's description has emulators and the game for download.
Woah i never knew this song was for the sega OP! thats insane and i jsut liked it when i heard it from the CD LMAO
This and Shining Force are only JRPG's I have ever played.
..first time hearing this..i'm so use to the PS1 opening, but this one is cool too
Always like this opening more than the Complete opening.
@amitrius17: Awesome! Thanks
Got a Genesis for my Christmas when I was 13 and wanted a Sega CD but never did get one. I got a PlayStation which more than made up for it
man havn't heard this in like 8 years and knew the 80% of the song :> hehe.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu... yes!
+Kevin Dombrowski Heeeeell... yes!
I agree :)
Little totally awesome touches like redoing the opening in english are why I will always miss working designs. Between this, lunar 2, Popful Mail, Sol Feace, and sonic cd, I am fully convinced that the Sega CD was designed to blow the user's mind in 1992. There was nothing else even really like it, and it's games were largely solid compared the the Turbografx cd based offering. Beyond Ys, those seemed mostly hit or miss in my opinion. Especially when compared to the sega cd and it's killer titles. 😊
The first true friend i ever made owned this game when we were in elementary school. While I had played FF1, this is the game I learned what a RPG was and never strayed from the genre since. The disk had a scratch on it, which didn't bother us until the fight with the Black Dragon. During the fight the music would end and instead of repeating it just died. When the dragon would be defeated, the group would just dance in place and it wouldn't exit out of the battle, thus not being able to continue with the story. After trying and trying to get beyond I decided to just keep playing where I could for shits and giggles. Eventually I leveled the group enough and thought to try the black dragon again. I was able to defeat it before the music ended and the battle concluded as any normal battle would, i was ecstatic, i was finally able to continue on and eventually beat the game.
I bought the system and game from said friend. At some point a different friend spilled soda on the console and it stopped working, so without thinking I threw it away. I still have the case, booklet and strategy guide, but the CD is chilling in a landfill, never to be seen again, probably my greatest regret to date (privileged, I know). Will never forget this game and the amazing sense of awe it struck within me
Sorry for the life story... kinda drunk and got diarrhea mouth 😆
@@Reid_Me That is an awesome story! I figured out when the music ended during a long battle, I'd pick up the system at the corner and drop it lightly and that would usually get it going again!
1:30 .. How I KNEW I was straight growing up. True story.
I think the Lunar SSSC soundtrack lists this track as "Take Heed".
By far the best version of this game. Too bad it's the PlayStation one that gets re-released
one of the greatest RPGs ever blows FF out of the water
@epiem You can download it from my site :) Check out the link in this video's description
0:58 They missed one of them in this sequence... for obvious reasons now that you think of it.
I like this way better than the PSX version's opening.
How does this video have any down likes..?
Also, this game is total awesomeness.
1:33 anyone else convinced that she ran out of air?! Bahah!
This is way better then the complete opening song. Why they changed it from this banger I'll never know.
I played silver star story on playstation but i never knew there was a sega version. Dope! I think the playstation version was a bit better on the intro but both are great.
Even the 2nd game Lunar 2 eternal blue was amazing as well
best intro ever? close to it, if nothing else.
They couldve at least put this in the Playstation version. This is badass.
I will stick with In your dreams and Far away
ohh I miss this game so much. They just don't make em like they used to!
Awesome RPG. Almost feels like I'm watching Saint Seiya or some late 80s anime lol.
HEY!! HEY!!
