The beginning of a series featuring the best music from the Ys series.
Here is "First Step Towards Wars" from Ys I for the Turbografx 16 CD/PC Engine. Composed originally by Yuzo Koshiro, and arranged here by Ryo Yonemitsu. For me, this has always been the ultimate action RPG field music.

Gamemusicfreak, where did you get the artwork for this video from? they're really nice, and I'd like some higher resolution versions of the pics you used in the video, without having to rip them directly from youtube. I was wondering if you could hook me up with a link or something or atleast give me the name of the artwork book you got these from.

Thanks, M3z.

@MEzm3r1z3 Hey, most of the images I used are from the Ys "Material Super Collection" disc that came with the Limited Edition of Ys Eternal (PC). I don't have a reliable PC right now, so unfortunately that's all the help I can offer at the moment.

I'll be getting a new system soon, so I'll keep your message in mind.

there is a tune i remember hearing from this game during a part where you walk into a long hallway-like room and immediately start losing health and die very quickly. is there any chance you could upload that song? i think the level was inside of a tower, right after a fight with a praying mantis boss. sorry I cant be more specific it has been so long.

@dpl8871 Hello! I know the tune, and have it, it's called "Devil's Wind." The song was remade also for Ys Origin. I'll see about getting it up as soon as possible. Including footage from the area in the tower.

Please keep watching, and thanks for your comment!

One of my favorite games. You should check out the CD quality versions of these songs from the anime.

[gamemusicfreak]

I'll probably add those when I get a few more game tracks up.

PC Engine Version No.1!!!

Take notice of when this game actually came out, it was so MUCH better than even n64 music.

Anyone else strangely feel like trying to find some history books after hearing this?

[GeneralMcNuggs]

This would go great with a Rocky montage.

I always wondered why you didn't put Feena's theme first. Unless this song is what got you fully into the game for the first time.

[TechnoDevotee]

reminds me of the Golden Axe Theme

note to self, find and play these games immediately.

hey, would you mind uploading the song that plays in the shops in Ys I? I can't find it anywhere...
