Cosmic Fantasy: Bouken Shounen Yuu (PCECD - 1990) game intro and menus

From what I can find, this is one of the first 3 RPGs ever released on CD, and is the first game in the 4 game (or 5 if you count the 2 parts of Cosmic Fantasy 4 as separate games) series. It did get a port to Mega CD in Japan as part of Cosmic Fantasy Stories, which also has the 2nd Cosmic Fantasy game, Bouken Shounen Van, on it. Up until the Cosmic Fantasy Collection released in 2024 on Nintendo Switch, this game had never gotten a release outside of Japan.
This will cover the various menus and show the game's intro with the full song that plays at the title screen. Captions need to be turned on for the machine translations. Since this is played on an actual PC Engine, there are much longer load times than you'll find on other videos of the game played via emulators.

0:53 - Title Screen
5:44 - Intro
9:02 & 22:43 - New Game/Continue menu
12:18 - Select button menu
14:34 - Button I menu
20:22 & 21:19 - Battle menu
23:52 - PC Engine internal memory menu ("Full Initialization" formats the RAM and will need to be done if the system is left unplugged for an extended period of time and the capacitor that maintains the save files has fully discharged. If you've left the console unplugged for a long time and there are no save files, it would be a good idea to initialize the RAM to be safe. This particular game will lock up during the intro sequence if this is the case.)

Translations are machine translations (turn on captions for translations). I used the Bing and Google translators as well as https://nihongodera.com/tools/kana-converter for word by word translations.
Captions also include my commentary on things that happen, like when the game freezes up.
