I like the US opening better because of that last shot of Marina at the well. I also prefer that song over this song.
But that being said, this opening shows a lot of characters that don't get an appearance in the US opening, so ehhh... I guess I think they're both flawed.
though some of the dialog seemed downright ridiculous in the english translation especialy Liz and Ards lines. i blame morons who dont know how to translate properly. still a kickass game though
No, Japanese vr. is better. Its the fucken original to begin with. The americunts just took off the vocal for whatever reason. They probably managed to reach the conclusion that the song was somehow racist or anti-americunt, typical.
@atsusamuno nah they took it out because the japanese can't sing worth a damn, nothing worse then a wild west styled song with some opera type japanse lyrics over it.
@sitrukpc1 hes prolly racist, or too clueless as to how wonderful most japanese singers' voices are. although i have to say that i prefer the non-lyric version, cuz the singing IS kinda bad >.< (im an asian that usually prefers jap originals, and i say it)
@911KNIGHT *smacks fist into hand* that must be it! I must be racist...and sorry there are no japanese with good voices singing in japanese...Maybe english or another language but instantly once they start singing in japanese it ruins it completely.
i never played the first, but i heard it was good to, as you say, the 3 and after i always heard they were shit, i just watch video of them, and it seems that way lol
god.. it pains me the instrumentals (excluding the voice) are what made the opening themes so grand and just made me oh my god and get all giddy inside and say i want to play this game all day .thats how all openings should be
they need to give the gamer a sense of "wow im so happy to play this game" or just invoke good feelings. you might say the opening theme may not be that important
but i feel it sort of is, good opening themese leave an impression
The whole reason this song was good, was because of the great saxophone (well it sounds like a sax) segments. The vocals in this version completely overlap and replace those segments making this whole melody completely and utterly like every other average Japanese pop song out there.
I don't remember really what the American version of this opening was like, but I do remember that it flowed much better than this one. It's the music, it doesn't feel like it matches up with the images that accompany it, which is surprising as usually the Japanese are great at that sort of stuff.
Maybe the lyrics make all the difference then... Like I said it's been a long time since I saw it. All I remember is that it made the impression of "hey this sounds pretty good," and this is just...blah.

@sitrukpc1 simply stating an opinion.
But as 911knight said I must be racist because I dislike japanese singing.

also malach the american edit has the solo
and yes
also as i was saying
the opening should be good
but the gameplay is more important
usually if the opening of a game is great the game is great cause the developers put a lot of effort in the game

Ok, I retract my earlier statement. Both the english and japanese edits of this song have versions with the long sax segments taken out.

Yeah, the saxophone part in the middle was the best part.
