After listening to the SFC version, and this version, for me this version is the better one. The pizzicato pluckings between 1:07 - 1:18 really add a nice touch that was absent in the original.
@Kaediths Actually, your thoughts are right. This does first play at the haunted mansion. Actually, it's a castle. But it IS a pretty dang good song.
I can see why this is hailed as the best DQ game, having played this one the last, i feel it haa capped the series off for me in the best way possible.
@Dasten I finished with Dragon Quest 6. It was the worst gaming expierence i ever had. I hated the game so much, which is really weird because i am a HUGE dragon quest fan.
The snes version sounds more orchestral, even though in both versions "synths" are used. And this version lacks power, it's too smooth and monotone...
I was actually doubtful that DQ5 would be better than DQ4 when I first started the game with my DS, but this song and the haunted castle made me gave this game a chance... and the rest was history. X3
You're right but I personally prefer the Symphonic Suite version of this to the Symphonic Suite Monsters in the Dungeon. Both are very good compositions nonetheless. ^_^
I Love this song but the Orchestra version is really good as this version But every time i hear this song it's Like Koichi Sugiyama feels sad and scared
except that every two seconds you hear the "duhdedadudedah......" and a monster shows up :/

I swear this theme was practically made for that haunted mansion, which I think is the first place it plays. It fits it so well

Favorite dungeon theme ever, better than any FF dungeon theme.
Except for Crystal tower in 3 ;)

The original melody was much better, had something nostalgic in it... and the sound was less electronic than this..

how so ?
if anything this would be the version to have a sound be less "electronic" than the snes version.

Extremely good dungeon song and probably one of the best, but Monsters In The Dungeon beats it in my opinion.

I sense the sorrow and sadness in the castle from this song.

Loved this song when i first heard it as kid Hero and Bianca explored the haunted mansion, it just gives those dungeons a important feel
