Taking suggestions for VGM Vibes 4 ~ Castles & Palaces

Good morning, day, evening.
Based on your votes not too long ago, you guys n' gals decided the next themed video for VGM Vibes 4 is Castles & Palaces!

I ask in your assistance in letting me know which Castle-like songs I've done on the channel already, that would help me quite a bit. (Or a game I've played)

***** ---------> Otherwise, I will ONLY take suggestions from the wait list. <---------- *****
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nEDRoQNmepYS1TLsC7vTdr6mhuR3mkJc5FkFi3FxWgc/edit#gid=0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a few days, there will be another post everyone can vote on.

A reminder, songs don't necessarily have to belong to a "castle stage" but have the feel of one.
Think examples like royalty, big hall, regal, magnificent, horns, gothic etc.

-edit
it's also okay to suggest a castle stage that doesn't sound like the vibe either.

Had to join in and suggest Yoshi’s Island - Castle/Fortress theme. This one is as good or better than Super Mario Worlds… Also Bowser’s Castle in the Mario Kart 8 DLC is a quality banger. Dr Wily has too many great ones.

Venusian Bacon

Are you still taking requests? If so, I've had an epiphany. There are many different iterations of Holy Orders Ky Kiske's theme from guilty gear. But the best one might be Holy Orders Be Just or Be Dead from Guilty Gear XX and it's mostly because of the stage they fight in which is a palace and/or Castle.

Gabriel Medina

what other than Valestein Castle from Ys oh and palace of destruction also from Ys

DJ Tambor

I would suggest Pandora's Palace from Deltarune (Toby Fox's) and All That Remains from Skullgirls <3

Fabian Landeros

I suggest "Touhou 11 - SA - Satori Maiden ~ 3rd Eye" requested by SolidBullet066 Satori Komeiji is the mistress of the Palace of the Earth Spirits, a mansion located in the center what used to be Hell (now Former Hell). It features stained glass windows and a western gothic aesthetic.

In terms of palace stages there is Deku Palace from The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask. Also, in case you didn't see the thread below the Kingdom hearts suggestion, there is two versions of Lord of the Castle in the list. The original from Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories and the KHIII version. Lord of the Castle is for a third final boss phase added into the PS2 remake of the GBA game Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories. As mentioned in the thread, the themes for the other the two phases are also on the list: Graceful Assassin and Scythe of Petals (in that order). All these themes (except in KHIII) take place on the final 13th floor of an ominous, bewitching castle of illusions called Castle Oblivion.

Definitely Guardia castle.

Antis

I was thinking of suggesting Invitation of a Crazed Moon myself, but then I realized it was more just because I love the song, not because I think it's particularly castle-vibe. Awake from CotM definitely fits better, I would say.

Antis

The Last Remnant - The City of Heroes FFXIV - Solid both are on the waiting list

Nhon

Oh that one is definitely Iconic. I was also gonna recommend the castle theme from New super mario bros for the DS, as that one is also crazy big its bananas how many views it has on youtube haha

Gundham

Makes me wonder if the Castle Theme of Super Mario World on the SNES should also be recomended then. It is probably one of the most iconic Castle Themes in all of the Super Mario games

Arjan Zweers

Ultimate Bowser? That's a final boss battle theme. I get why you added it because of the instrument used in it, but that song fits more in a final battle vibes list

Arjan Zweers

Out of all the soundtracks on the list you have yet to cover, these that I know of fit the theme: - Mario Kart 8: Bowser's Castle - Castlevania Portrait of Ruin: Invitation of a Crazed Moon - Castlevania Circle of the Moon: Awake - Super Mario 64: Inside Peach's Castle - The Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild: Hyrule Castle (I would combine this with A Link to the Past version as the BotW version borrows heavily from this one One other Castlevania song not on the list but I would highly recommend is Top Floor from Aria of Sorrow and it's remix from the Lament of Innocence soundtrack "Holy Cross Obsessed by the Moon"

Arjan Zweers

My suggestion for this theme is Final Fantasy XIV - Tower of Babil (Garlemald Express) It is the palace of the Emperor, transformed to host obscene monsters. Quite a bop, & a bit of a leitmotif, though I don't believe you've heard the original piece it borrows from yet.

Anicad

One from a request that I think may spark a desire to listen to the others as well: Jazz Jackrabbit 2 - Medieval Jam While not carrying the grandiose energy you'd expect from a castle theme, it does have a certain medieval feel to it that makes it fit right in.

Damien Bongers

Please consider the "Castle Theme", from "New Super Mario Bros" for the Wii! Definitely one of the best castle themes I've heard, and I remember it getting stuck in my head as a kid. One of those songs that felt so intense and out of nowhere for a mario wii game. Also, I love your vids Jesse! Huge ff9 fan here so I've seen that playthrough more than once haha. 👏

Gundham

I'd suggest Kingdom Valley from Sonic 06. The poster child of 06 and one of my fav aesthetics for a stage ever.

mayonnaise

So I’ve got one you might find interesting. Ancient Walls from Ace Combat 5. Mission set piece is a castle and you and your squadron provide close air support. I’ll let you draw themes and tone from the song. https://youtu.be/-N_qNSk3P4M?feature=shared

RogueMonk

Super Ultra Violet from Devil May Cry definitely has crazy gothic organs and takes place in a castle. Its a boss battle against a dark knight that turns out to be Vergil.

AzureDragon202死

Mario Kart 8 deluxe - Bowser's Castle

Brace_Q

Hyrule Castle from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. You've done the BOTW version so I'm not sure if this counts Guardia or Tyranno Castle from Chrono Trigger Inside Peach's Castle from Super Mario 64

SirSlush

Waiting List: Super Mario 64 - Ultimate Bowser TLoZ: Breath of the Wild - Hyrule Castle Songs you have listened to: Pretty much anything from Symphony of the Night, however I'd personally pick Wood Carving Partita, it's got the most snooty castle vibe out of the bunch. Kirby Air Ride - Checker Knights, for the fun of it Shadowlord.

Magnyus Gentyl

It's definitely not GBA because Lord of the Castle is not in original CoM. As I recall, on GBA Marluxia only had 2 forms and the second form used Scythe of Petals. Re:CoM added a phase 3 with Lord of the Castle

ALeafOnTheWind42

The song definitely has grandiose, regal vibe like a castle lord might haveAn earlier version of Lord of the Castle is also on the list. The list doesn't specify if its the first OST version or the PS3 HD I.5 Remix version. I doubt its the the original GBA version. Also on the list are earlier battle themes from same game of the same boss charecter. Graceful Assassin and Scythe of Petals (in that order.) Just listening to these for a few seconds I hear gothic vibe. They do take place in a castle.

AzureDragon202死

One of the most fitting castle themes is from Stronghold. Its called Castle Jam and is super fittingly named. Very medieval

Guardies

Temple theme from Zelda 2 and super smash bros melee would be my choice. Despite their English names, the Japanese names refer to them as palaces

Wild Star

Gotta include Cid's Theme/Lindblum castle from ff9, that was *screaming* regal

witchtimez

My only suggestion for ya. Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection - Snow Castle. Quite the hella bop for Devil Jin

PuddinHun_11

You've done Zelda: A Link Between Worlds - Lorule Castle Theme However it's also a backwards rendition of the original Hyrule Castle Theme, which is also a fantastic castle theme. Lorule is sort of an alternate Hyrule Castle in a backwards dimension. One of the newer renditions of the Hyrule Castle theme is in Breath of the Wild which is on the list, but the original was in A Link to the Past

Ellie Boyle

Let's see... FFXIV - Solid is on the list. That feels really caste-ly to me!

Visorelle

The Jin Brother's theme from Fatal Fury 3, Fatal Fury 3 Arrange - No.1 from Pandora's Box "Encounter" Fatal Fury 3 Arrange - No.2 from Pandora's Box "Mist" other Characters' music with royalty, big hall, regal, magnificent: Fatal Fury 3 Arrange - Kiss Me Fatal Fury 3 Arrange - Floating on a Harp and Piano Fantasy for Yvonne Lelord Fatal Fury 3 Arrange - Thunderous Waves Good'Ol' SNK's Music was the Banger, both OST(Digitalized In-game Music) and AST(Performed by Actual Musicians and instruments)

Uboneo

Someone already mentioned White Palace from Hollow Knight to which you already reacted, and I must say it's a pretty solid one. Otherwise there is also Agnus Castle (day) from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 that figures on your wait list

Al Tefkat

ID Purpose from fire emblem awakening is sublime and a perfect example of that gothic royal feel And one you’ve already listened to is Twilight of the Gods from fire emblem echoes you even said it sounds “royal” in your reaction 🏰

Chef Pig

I haven't played in a while so I don't remember if the battle takes place in a castle, but You May Call Me Father from Bayonetta really has that grand fantasy vibe to it that could fit in with a castle theming.

Soopakoopa64

I suggest Molten Mine from Sonic and the Black Knight

RCDaniel

definitly Lindblum Castle from FF9, if that has not castle vibes, then nothing will. Also, i suggest you listened to KH1 olympus colosseum. Not sure if this on list, but KH is quite a thing here. KH1 og force besides lol

Shinrasensei

Ocean Palace or Tyran Castle from Chrono Trigger. As for something you've reacted to already, I'd say White Palace from Hollow Knight.

Xanudo

Was about to suggest Crumbling Castle until I remembered you’re an Ape Escape fan! “Hang Castle” from Sonic Heroes is an EXTREMELY unique piece with a lot of emphasis put on the spooky aspect of the Castle stage.

Sese

pandora castle from deltarune chapter 2 is really awesome, if you didnt know deltarune is the succesor to undertale

Gufei_ppp

"Kirby Triple Deluxe - Beautiful Prison" is most gothic like song in Kirby game in my know.

icoriha

From the request list, two songs pop up to me as far as the vibe goes. I'd like to nominate: Golden Sun — Venus Lighthouse Legend of Mana — Earth Painting

Antis

Origami Castle from Paper Mario: The Origami King would be awesome. It's on the darker, ominous side, but also carries that intimidating regal feel.

Berserker88

Ru'Lude Gardens from FFXI is one you've heard.

mushimerry

Some reason it doesn't have a name according to YouTube. Just says Final Battle theme of Bison, even though bison's ex theme hasn't changed in ex1 and ex3

Gabriel Medina

Gabriel Medina

For things you have heard, but it would be subject to your interpretation: Hikari, the Warrior from Octopath 2 is something I could see giving an eastern castle vibe. I may be reading some knowledge of who Hikari is into that so you may well not feel the same

ALeafOnTheWind42

name?

Jnn

Idk if you played it, but Hercules' World in Kingdom Hearts 1.

Gabriel Medina

The final battle theme from street fighter ex 3 always makes me think of ancient roman palace.

Gabriel Medina

I was going to suggest Castlevania - Bloody Tears. But you've not reacted to that one yet. So out of what you have reacted to already, FF VIII - The Castle is an obvious one.

SPiTFirE

Valestein Castle from Ys would be a good pick considering you've done it on the channel already. And it slaps pretty hard lol 😆

Degapal gamer

I mean there's no way you won't include Super Mario World's castle theme it's like THE castle theme.

Aquarius Knight

I assume you'll include Castlevania in some way or other, probably something from SotN, I just wanna remind you that you have reacted to Abandoned Castle from Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. Worth considering, IMO.

Antis

I would love to see Bowser's Dream from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. It's a very dark and brooding theme that, as the title suggests, takes place in a castle area inside of Bowser's dream. It doesn't sound anything like a traditional Mario theme but it's awesome for that.

mayonayo64

Hm, when thinking about royalty and magnificent, rather than strictly a typical castle, the song "Omori - World's End Valentine" definitely comes to mind

Yoshi

Lorule Castle Theme - TLoZ A Link Between Worlds, suuuuper old request lol

Tieval

Hyrule Castle theme from Breath of the Wild is GOAT tier. Alternative is the Baron Castle theme from Final Fantasy IV, which also has an FF14 remix

Richard Welch

For suggestions on the list, I'm going with Lord of the Castle from Kingdom Hearts (I know the KH3 version is on the list at the very least). I will preface by saying that the vibe itself isn't as strongly there, but I'm going with it because the name obviously fits. But if you want to limit the options on the poll, feel free to leave it out

ALeafOnTheWind42

The one that immediately springs to mind is Hyrule Castle from The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past. It is a strong motif used in many subsequent games.

Christopher French

I'll plug one of my own requests - In the Halls of the Usurper from Shovel Knight
