"I am still in a state of disbelief at the very sudden news of Toriyama's passing.

The history of Dragon Quest has been with Mr. Toriyama's character designs. Mr. Toriyama and the late Mr. Sugiyama were longtime friends of mine who worked on Dragon Quest.

"Dear *(Hero's Name)* , If you are reading this letter, it must mean I'm no longer by your side. You probably know already, but the reason I've been travelling is to search for my beloved wife, Mada, who fell into the hands of evil. My wife, your mother, had some mysterious powers. I don't really understand it, but it seems these powers are coveted by those in the dark world of Nadiria. It's my belief that she was carried off there because of her powers. Dear *(Hero's Name)* ! You must continue my search for the legendary hero! It seems that the only one who can enter Nadiria and rescue Mada from the clutches of evil... is he who can make use of the Zenithian Equipment: the legendary hero. I travelled all the world and managed to locate the Zenithian Sword... But still I've been unable to locate the legendary hero. *(Hero's Name)* , my son. You must gather the remaining pieces of the Zenithian Equipment, find the legendary hero, and save dear Mada! I have faith in you, son. I know you can do this." ~from Pankraz' Letter, 'Dragon Quest 5'
Not to mention the moment that King Carnelian finds his daughter Jade in Yggdrasil during the Act 3 of the game. Not to mention the Luminary receiving the (Super) Sword of Light.
@@pizzatime1901 Sounded pretty fuggen good for that tiny little soundchip they had to work with. PS2's full symphonic rendition is obviously gonna be better lol
Even for a song called "make me feel sad" there's still moments of hope in this song. Relates to real life at times you just want to be sad or give up and let the darkness of the world takeover, but hope still finds a way to you. Whether that be a change in circumstances or even listening to your favourite song. Life still brings hope.
This isn't a hopeless feeling sad, nor is it a depressing sad but more or less a happy feeling sad. And because of that, this is probably my favorite sad theme in the game
Man, this really hit hard on me every time it played. Rab’s side story, Irwin’s speech… All of those scenes were beautiful alongside this magical music. And although it may sound less depressing than other songs in the OST, this is the only song that made me tear up. It’s just… beautiful. And yes, it made me feel sad.

RIP Akira Toriyama (1955-2024)
Song of an old man who has lost almost everything but keeps fighting.
Petros-san...😭
This is why Rab is my favorite character. He's such a strong person.

~from Pankraz' Letter, 'Dragon Quest 5'
Luca, Abel, some weird germany name that i don't remember, Five, these are his official names.
@@papupilinudo9170,
Personally, I went for Luca, but hey, whatever name goes depends on the player himself or herself!
@@papupilinudo9170 it's easier to just call him Madason
@@logantheking4598,
Funny thing, that's what he went by in his cameo in a remake of 'Dragon Quest 6'... He has no other role whatsoever in that game.
The name of Pankraz in french is Petros
When you free King Irwin and this plays...gets dusty in here.
Yeah that’s the scene I always associate with this music. Haven’t played the older DQ games yet.
This piece originally plays in every scene regarding your parents in DQ5. It's very fitting that it's used for your parents and grandpa in DQ11.
I don’t remember it much in 5 probably cuz I played the DS version and the music quality was really bad for most songs
Not to mention the moment that King Carnelian finds his daughter Jade in Yggdrasil during the Act 3 of the game.
Not to mention the Luminary receiving the (Super) Sword of Light.
@@pizzatime1901 what are u talking about sure the ps2 version has the better ost but the ds is still great
@@pizzatime1901 Sounded pretty fuggen good for that tiny little soundchip they had to work with. PS2's full symphonic rendition is obviously gonna be better lol
The scene where the hero frees his father is absolutely my favorite scene.

Rab’s side story is still the best.
Agreed
And it’s not even close, can’t wait for the Xbox version to come out
Facts. I cried during that shit.
honestly that side story actually made me cry lol
@@Ghostface711 all the stuff with the luminary’s parents was really sad
I hadn’t heard of Sugiyama’s passing ‘til I came here to listen to this beautiful music. It seems fitting to have found out this way…
“Light and dark are not two sides of the same coin! The light of the luminary is a gift - a gift that will cleanse the world of evil!” DQXI
My favourite line in the whole game.
Rest in peace, Koichi Sugiyama.
Thanks for your songs 😭😭
This isn't a hopeless feeling sad, nor is it a depressing sad but more or less a happy feeling sad. And because of that, this is probably my favorite sad theme in the game
I'm sad that I went here to comment RIP Sugiyama years ago, and now it's RIP Akira Toriyama now. :(
Man, this really hit hard on me every time it played. Rab’s side story, Irwin’s speech… All of those scenes were beautiful alongside this magical music.
And although it may sound less depressing than other songs in the OST, this is the only song that made me tear up. It’s just… beautiful. And yes, it made me feel sad.
Farewell, Sugiyama-san. Your talent as a composer was beyond words. May you rest in perfect peace.
Finally I found it
"Goodbye my dear eleanor"
RIP Koichi Sugiyama…your music helped start an entire new genre and created one of the best gaming franchises of all time. May you find rest
I just lost my grandma and this is the song that popped in my head.
RIP Koichi Sugiyama. You wrote some of the best video game music of all time.
0:38 and 1:38
These are the best parts of the song. Change my mind
actually prefer the beginning
your mind is too far gone to accept our cure. Truly, this song is a fitting piece for you.
Uhh the best parts of this song is from 0:00 to 4:26. Wtf are u smoking
@@GreatGrandmasterWang i can't argue with this
the best game I ever seen . thank you .
Rest In Peace, Koichi Sugiyama.
"This 'ere is your parents' grave, laddie."
Make me feel sad? After seeing Rab’s struggles, I’d say mission accomplished.
This one make me cry in DQV and now in DQXI ...... :'(
Rest in Peace Sugiyama-sensei.
RIP Koichi Sugiyama.
Recently replayed the game again, every time Rabs story makes me burst into tears
Rab is def top 3 charcaters in dq11
Having this play along with gaining Hendriks new armor from the jasper fight that side quest will remain my favorite in the whole game
Well, the song definitely does its job ;-;
Goodbye, Sugiyama. You may not have been the best person in life, but you were one hell of a composer. May you find peace.
Thank you Koichi Sugiyama for everything and you give us beautiful music
Pankraz! I wish I could have been stronger for you.
Goodbye, Toriyama.
Title checks out. Toriyama o7
I’ve been a DQ fan for years and I never had an idea the song was called this
Get in there Rab!
❤️💎
🎼🎶😄
😭😭
wait guys don’t forget dragon quest V
🔥🌧🌈🌊🌬⛵
este temazo lo voy a escuchar en mi boda
Thank you Koichi Sugiyama for writing nice music. If you get reincarnated try not to deny Japanese war crimes and genocide.
Hell is hot for the composer but at least he made beautiful music.
