Ahh, so beautiful and safe-sounding. It gives a great feeling of being in the sanctity of a castle, away from the monsters. It also works very ironicly in the monster-ruled castles, of course.love 2:32 to end especially
This videos are scary and out of place.. well not exactly out of place.. but i would like to see more dragon quest, and less europian actors and castles.
@mirrorpiece How are they scary? It's just a prop put in as a filler for the song. Every band or musician you can think of does it if they have televised songs.
I'm so glad they made this, and am wondering what they intended for the project of recording this. Perhaps they were just showing off that video games can contain art too. This was before the internet was very popular.
@brodiger The Introduction to the piece sounds almost identical to the first few measures of Rondo from Purcell's Abdelazar suite save for a few things. I'd chalk it up to coincidence, but seeing as DQII's Chateau Ladutorm is basically Bach's Air in C Major, it wouldn't surprise me if Sugiyama used it as his influence for this theme, which is totally fine. I love them both anyway.

Video games can be works of art.....if quality is put in to them, such as with the case of okami.
Anyone that disagrees is just closed minded and unwilling to accept new ideas.
Art is in the eye of the viewer, more opinion than anything.

The fact that this was written for a video game and written so WELL gives it this feeling that Baroque has been revived for this suite.
Koichi Sugiyama did HAVE to write it well, it was just going to be reduced down to 8-bit. I just like it.

I'm pretty sure Sugiyama is a fan of Purcell...

A lot of his castle themes have this quality. This one in particular, but all of them are amazing pieces.
