The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 1 and Kingdom Hearts 2 have my favorites.

Mother Computer from Phoenotopia Awakening and You Are All Bad Guys from A Hat in Time are both up there, but honestly this song is probably at the top lol

Final solaris sonic 2006 his world

A ton of sonic games like the one the guy above me said (I’ll say sonic riders zero gravity as an example). Pokémon MD explorers of time, lots of fire emblem games like fire emblem echoes, fates and 3 houses, Kirbys return to dreamland, and let’s go with Naruto clash of ninja 2 as well. There’s more but these are the first to come to mind

Technically? Highbrow (Star Ocean: Till the End of Time), ALMIGHTY BHUNIVELZE (Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, The Only Good Part of the Game), God Shattering Star (Fire Emblem: Three Houses). In terms of spectacle? EVERY GAME, FRANCHISE OR COMPOSER GAMETAL HAS COVERED, OR THAT KLAGMAR HAS LISTED IN HIS TOP 50 FINAL BOSS THEMES! But if I must be precise, [S] Collide (Homestuck). And Oppa Toby Style, when it gets remixed for Deltarune's Final Chapter, like the cousins of Gamzee and Lil' Cal did for Chapters 1 & 2, respectively. You'll know when you meet them.

Remind me if I'm wrong but 6:11 has this epic buildup right when you defeat the final boss and gives it's final dialogue right?

@@Dairunt1 Unfortunately no, it's not synced like that. (I also haven't played the game since it released, so memories can be fuzzy.) The song is broadly broken down into 3 movements: (using video timestamps) 0:00 - 0:18 - Intro 0:18 - 1:38 - Main loop of mov.1 1:38 - 2:59 - Encore of mov.1 2:59 - 4:11 - Main loop of mov.2 4:12 - 5:59 - Main loop of mov.3 6:00 - Finale - Mov.1 gets an encore in part to establish a seamless loop (because the song is streamed as-is, not real-time synthesized as with MIDI). - Mov.2 and Mov.3 have near-identical endings (approaching 4:11 and 5:59) to enable a clean segue from either back to mov.1. So, the way you hear it in the actual game goes like this: - Phase 1 - 0:00 through 2:59 once, then returns to 1:38 (aka. loop of 1:38 - 2:59) - Phases 2 onward - extends to 4:11 (aka. loop of 1:38 - 4:11) - Final phase - extends to 5:59 (aka. loop of 1:38 - 5:59) The finale is, IIRC, never actually heard in-game.

​​@@Stratelier One thing about Bravely Default is that the true ending is so good, but it's such a chore to get to it that it's not exactly replayable. I'm surprised if someone got the true ending several times and not just the first time.

Fun fact:The original Japanese's name for this song translates directly into english as "The Serpent who would swallow the horizon" or "The Horizon eating serpent" However at the time Nintendo forced all games through their in house translator Treehouse which was STUPID as they barely understood the language and wanted to put in aged memes into everything. resulting in terrible names

@@NameIsDoc That explains why I always remember this song as "Serpent Eating the Horizon", which honestly is a way cooler title and actually makes sense in the context of the final battle.

to this day still my fav soundtrack, followed by octopath and extended xenoblade 2

Naturally, a music god made it, Revo and Linked Horizon are on TOP

I got into it late, but when I bought all of the games last year, I enjoyed them all heavily

@@supernatsu1191 This. Musically speaking, Revo can do no wrong. That man is a fucking legend. Probably my second favorite japanese composer after nobuo uematsu.

@@TheMike0088 My personal favorite will always be Yoko Shimomura, but unsurprisingly, Revo and Nobuo are second and third. (Nobuo is third mostly because there are a couple boring tracks in his otherwise brilliant OSTs; it’s not because he’s a bad composer or something.)

Having *ahem* found the Luxendarc Kikou concert video, its even better played live, if that can even be possible. (also, the voiced versions of the heroes themes are fire)

Seths theme is amazing

What i loved so much about this is that, No one can top REVO; not even REVO. (when making music for BD2 compared to this masterpiece)

even if it means doing that time thing over and over again? I LOVE this track and the feel it gave during that encounter, but that long part be LOOONG.

@@C.hrisis Even if. Yeah that's the main slough area of the game, but that's where you try to make your own fun with it. Maybe play jobs you hadn't before. Try fighting with weapons that aren't as strong. Experiment with items. It helps make the slough a little more entertaining.

i was dying inside to just finish the game during that part of the game.(i already maxed everything out before even reaching chapter 6) but i think what kicked me back to life was the fight vs the one and only legend the adventurer. the biggest factor probably has to be the encounter rate meter. i was against using it at early stages of the game and even maxed it out sometimes. but after chapter 5 that shet was kept at 0% for 90% of the time unless its a new dungeon.

@@C.hrisis The final boss was my motivation to go through that shit. Never again tho.

Honestly nearly every game with any sort of development done with Square ends up having an absolute banger of a soundtrack.

Agreed!

Absolutely agreed

And that's saying a lot, because a ton of RPGs have absolute bangers of OSTs

It was literally an Era of its own, Attack on Titan had just premiered and REVO was the leading man for the OST of THE JRPG of the 3DS two years after (according to NA release.)

Do you have a yt link?

And the rest of Sound Horizon, Revo's other band!

yesssss, that song was the reason I was like "ok, getting the soundtrack now"

What bout wicked flight?

That track is the best track of the game, not even close.

@@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32 too repetetive

Do it do it do it do it it's a masterpiece :0

You're in for a treat.

All depends on how you translate it.

@Hadaron you mean if you translate it wrong. Ground is litteraly objectively wrong.

Oh yes....the slog...dont remind me

Nah, it's the other way around. (for me at least) Nobody outdoes REVO, not even REVO

Audio censor?

@@fgvcosmic6752 If you upload a song with music that someone on YT claims you get several options to deal with it, including one where it trims out the portion with offending audio. Back when I listen to the BD OST on KZfaq I found a few different versions of this song, and all had almost half of it cut out in just such a way (since it only cut out part of the song I doubt they did it on purpose, especially since earlier comments said it wasn't always that way). Which was sad.

The fuck is that?

Through the Fire and the Flames, I'm pretty sure that's just referencing the super fast guitar parts

I think Alex moukala said something in here sounds like dragonforce when he reacted to this song

Understandable, the repeat runs can go pretty fast if you just go for the ending, but you'd likely be really underleveled and possibly missing the last two jobs

Have you played through the false endings? Ouroboros was never a twist villain

@@fgvcosmic6752 I mean yeah I guess "twist" was the wrong word. But he does kind of just show up right at the end like "Ah yes it is me, the Big Bad that has been vaguely hinted at" and he's just...boring. Compared to Airy at least.

@@usamimi-no-majo The whole meta/near-fourth wall break thing they were going for with his abilities and motivations was pretty novel though.

@@gigavoltx8340 True, that's about the only part of him that I liked. Got a good laugh out of me when I saw my own dumbass face in the background of the final phase.

@@usamimi-no-majo But then, what would that Airy Fairy want? She is just a pawn after all.... Her betrayal was kinda cool, altho the fight with Ouroborus was so much better.
