Ephemeral Fantasia - Song Exhibition: "Impression"
This is clipped from an early PlayStation 2 RPG known as "Ephemeral Fantasia". It was an RPG made by KONAMI. Technologically, and Graphically the game was not very good. Most of the people who played the game were drawn to it simply by its Anime-style Box Art. At that time, this was more than enough reason to buy a game.
The game's graphical prowess makes it feel like an early "Sega Dreamcast" game. It does have a few minigames--the most prominent of which is an altered version of "Guitar Freaks" (another KONAMI franchise), in which the main character must play his guitar to accomplish a few quests.
The basic storyline is that you are a young Thief and traveling Musician by the name of "Mouse". Your partner is a 300+ year old enchanted talking guitar by the name of "Pattimo". One day, by invitation of King Xelpherpolis, you take a journey to the mysterious island of Pandule. Upon meeting with the king, Mouse finds out why the king has summoned him. Mouse is to compose a musical piece to be played at the King's upcoming wedding to the gorgeous Princess Loreille. Afterwards, Mouse takes a tour of the island with the beautiful Castle Guard, Rummy. Five days pass. Mouse plays the song he has composed. But notices that everyone has frozen in time. King Xelpherpolis' true intentions were to simply add more "loyal subjects" to his kingdom. Mouse is helpless to stop him and time rewinds backwards by five days to when Mouse first arrived. With Pattimo's help, Mouse recovers his memory and sets out to help free others from the spell of time.
The game itself isn't "great". The only redeeming quality it has though is a decent-sounding instrumental soundtrack.
The song being played in the video is called "Impression". Like much of the soundtrack, the majority (however not all) of the tunes focus around the same basic melody that is more or less the "Anthem" of the game.
