Play! A Video Game Symphony -Guild Wars-

[RoarOfVictory]

Just love the Nightfall one. Epic.

[TheRutabagaDance]

I love the factions music gives me goosebumps

[Mathays]

Let's say that I was blown away. Easily best song in these Play! songs. Can't wait for Guild Wars 2 and what Jeremy Soule has to offer. He's a genius.

[Aetosaur]

This reminds me of my adventures in Elona, as Nightfall was my first of the series.

[Zalafina]

I CANNOT wait for Guild Wars 2! Bring on the Charr!

[powerhousejp]

For Ascalon and the Wall! o/

Yep, this pretty much recaps the last four years of my life. 'twas a good life.

[Semi9Productions]

HOLY SHIT THE INTRO SENT FUCKING CHILLS THROUGH MY BODY.

God, I miss Guild Wars. Will always be the best MMO i've even played. I'll never forget my experiences playing it. Thanks for this.

[tanissith]

nightfall theme, so heroic 

[RickTheSnake90]

this is so awesome that i could cry.

[themozartmo]

The Canthan part is so beautiful. (weeping noises are heard in the background)

[Mathgeek1350]

looks like 3 people don't appreciate games

[GeoAzn756]

Cantha is my favorite continent of the game! I can't wait for Winds of Change!!!

[ThirdSOG]

@1:27 is awesome!

[Verithiell]

I wish I could go to the concert.....

[Phenylbutanol]

What the hell happened to the EotN track?

[MithranArkanere]

Performing a videogame symphony, and not bringing up anything from Jeremy Soule would be madness!

And not including Guild War's soundtrack specifically would be blasphemy!

The original tracks sound way better than this, though. I got them all! Totally worth the cash!

[Xenus87]

A M A Z I N G

[NeverMind2991]

AAAAAAAAAAAAH MY DEATH SONG I CAN BELIVE IT I AM

ALIVE

WITH

DR.EDWARD RICHTOFEN

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHA

THANKS RICHTOFEN

[Hydrocarbonateable]

I had no idea there was a CD. Thank you for letting us know! :) I definitely support buying. Glad to hear another out there does too. <3

[Eternityshield]

Each movement makes me feel like I am back in that world. Guildwars was my first MMO and I wish I could go back... Thank you for this music so much.

[Commodore4life]

I went GW free for a year now. Listening to this made me almost relapse, and install this soul-robbing, life-crushing masterpiece again. -.-

[Reyrocksall]

My choir is singing with them.

[thugugbob]

Awesome except the Eye of the North Section.... something happened to it...

[sunset261]

whoa what happened with eye of the north? It's way down tempo, and too much percussion.

[8r4do]

@sunset261 yeah, like a college football marching band sort of influence

[KNDReaper]

@sunset261 Think it was because it was the last of the songs, they already set a tempo with those, and didnt want to change it.

[Challenger117]

Not a guild wars fan but this song makes me want to do great things. Matters not whether good or evil, but only that they shall be great. 

[BombUndertaker]

in the eye of the north theme, too much drums

[xSwExRalle]

Jeremy Soule is the best video-game music composer through time.

[svelle37]

@xSwExRalle he and jason hayes, they both really have it.

[Askarion]

gw1 was the best game so far, gw2 will be the best game so far

[AnyaSilva]

view my five years as a guild wars player to hear this, this music is precisely these fragments, each of the opening of the game, tell it all, they are all afternoon in the fires of the old and devastated Ascalon, invading forge and visiting Rago, evenings spent around the Kurzick forests, venturing into the torment, fighting the great destroyer:)

who has been playing all this time and has lived all changes from the advent will understand me:) i love this !

[ampdgmr]

@AnyaSilva I remember getting prophecies the first week it came out, traveling through Ascalon with bros, questan, missionan, killan .... tear.. at least I can relive that through GW2, hopefully.

[morrowindarcherman]

lol, theres a high ordinator in the background, win

[onagaganondorf]

This is part of what marks the difference between "fame full games" and this that is art in videogames

[TehVamphunter]

this is pure awsomeness. after playing the game for 2 years, this brings back memories...

[runevirage]

Eye of the North part stretched on a bit long.

[hichez50]

in GWEN they played the notes with to much marcato. It Should have been a lengthy marcato. Also need a louder baritone sound on the original GW theme

In the factions theme I remember a lot more percussion. It could have been where hey were performing it could have drowned up some of the percussion.

in nightfall theme it was clear as ever. drumset=bad.

I like the original one. I could say more but not enough space. lol

I still like it but the arrangement's is not the best.

[Dracogc]

wow that fantastic 5/5

[rakeria]

....is it just me or is that Kohan 2 and not guildwars?

[RockofMattle]

Only Awesome....

<3<3<3

[KyokoKeashir]

EPIC <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

[BSHVN2006]

All very nice, though they altered the GWEN theme a bit too much for my likings.

[TheWW2Dude]

The solo violinist should have practiced the opening a little more.

1:28

[Daco65]

euhm, the original factions theme sounds kinda "fucked up" too (can't find the real english word here D: )

[Gyrbun]

It's called glissando, and Factions' intro just starts with that technique. I think you should try to be more careful when expressing yourself, as this isn't the easiest part to play and this violinist does it quite perfectly. If you don't like it, you should say just that.

[TheWW2Dude]

I can can express myself however I want and I shouldn't have someone as anal as you seem to be, breathing down my neck.

When you compare the original solo and this solo (and you can find the original piece on youtube) you can understand why I said "a little".

He had a problem hitting the higher notes, that all. Nowhere did I say that I didn't like it at all. All I did was point out that one high note. Dammit people, I see no reason to flame me for this.

[ExtraSpicy121]

everyone should start playing this game its a classic and it feels so good

[brego129]

Hmm...I think I like the original versions of these songs much better. These ones are just less epic and generally suck. Plus it sounds like a marching band is playing the Nightfall and GWEN themes rather than an actual orchestra. Sucks. Way to trash my memories of these songs.

[starwarsguy9]

I wouldn't be so harsh, the Play versions I do agree aren't as good as the originals, but they don't "trash my memories of these songs".

The Play versions are great, but I just dislike the use of instruments at some times, like how in the Oblivion soundtrack they went crazy with all the choral stuff.

[DominatorMatrix]

Proph is start

1:30 is canthan

2:35 is Nightfall

4:00 is Eye of The North

[joun1nkakash1]

@DominatorMatrix

No, 1:30 is Factions.

[Tyotyo999]

@joun1nkakash1

Learn your Guild Wars! Cantha is the continent in which Factions takes place... :D
