The Final Fantasy XIII trilogy will forever hold a special place in my heart.

"Do you remember the song of the ocean waves" Yes, Origa :(

never understood the dislike for the game, this game was magical. The music, Landscaping, Storyline, characters. I do admit the fighting took ages, especially certain stages taking long to complete but! That's how Final Fantasy was and should be. The series were always a 3 CD type of game, full of storylines and such. The coming age of PCs kind of killed that wonder of course.

I used to be a nerdy teen and listen to this song 10 years ago in high school when FF13-2 just came out. I loved it so much but the song fell into oblivion. Sure, sometimes we remember old songs that we were used to listen, but not this time. This song stayed quiet in my mind for a decade without doing the least effort to show up in a way or another. Yesterday I was scrolling through Apple Music looking for old games tracks and stumbled upon the FF13-2 OST, remembering that I was used to listen some of its tracks but forgot which ones. ‘New Bodhum’ I read. A familiar name. I press Play, the song starts and it slithers into my mind, bringing up memories of a much younger and naive self of me. Such is the Serendipity, or Sartre’s madeleine.

Origa had the voice of an angel. Rest in Peace.

Ahh yes... the music I used to listen when I had a soul full of dreams and energy. I wanna go back to that so bad.

I loved Origa's voice in the Ghost in The Shell opening song. When I heard her voice in this game, I got chills!

U'll be missed Origa! Amazing voice and music!!

I just started playing Lightning Returns and this song came up in the wild lands. Beautiful song! R.I.P Origa. It won't be long till I join you up there.

R.I.P. Origa. She will always be remembered.

This is perfect for waking up early in the morning in a hut on the beach in a small island with lots of people and children playing without a care in the world as the Suns hot and rising in the sky with the beautifully clear blue ocean and untouched jungle behind with the ocean breeze drifting over the beach and through the trees.

I remember playing this game when I was younger and being amazed by the graphics and music

Her voice was super ethereal, this game had such an amazing soundtrack and heavenly singing. This is probably some of the prettiest game music I've ever heard.

10 hours version please and I will rave all night. Also, RIP Origa. I'm her compatriot. Unfortunately not many people know about her here :(

Do you remember a touch of the wind on you? Softer than whispers of angel that falls in love Do you remember the sound of the ocean waves? Breaking alone time after time, ah Believing in magic can make you strong Tell everyone that this is a place where you belong Everything looks shiny in the sun A day in your life Close your eyes to find yourself In wonderful world Ah, everything feels like your fantasy A night in your life Close your eyes to find yourself In mystic timeline Make you strong Tell everyone that this is the place where you belong Do you remember a touch of the wind on you? Softer than whispers of angel that falls in love Do you remember the sound of the ocean waves? Breaking alone time after time, ah Believing in magic can make you strong Tell everyone that this is the place where you belong Everything looks shiny in the sun A day in your life Close your eyes to find yourself In wonderful world Ah, everything feels like your fantasy A night in your life Close your eyes to find yourself In mystic timeline Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Mitsuto Suzuki New Bodhum lyrics © Square Enix Co Ltd (japan)

I would really rank this game's soundtrack among the series' best - alongside VIII and IX. I really felt on some ethereal journey through time.

I've been replaying 13-2 recently and this music is as amazing as ever

God tier soundtrack. I have been listening to it on repeat.

This was made by Mitsuto Suzuki. He also worked on FF7R, and made tracks such as the songs of the dance session (Stand Up, Funk with Me, Sync or Swim, and Vibe Valentino) and Collapsed Expressway.

ORIGA's death was the first one I ever cried over, and I had an aunt die on my 10th birthday

Oh my god she's dead?! No.....may she rest in heaven. Origa, thank you for your work. You won't be forgotten for me. Magnificent soundtrack, among my favorites.

Descansa en paz Origa. Gracias por darme tanta paz con tu voz.❤️

I still remember the sound of the ocean waves.

Hope Square Enix makes an HD remake of Final Fantasy XIII series. My number 1 favorite final fantasy videogame series of all.

this is my peace

One of the first things I do when a new final fantasy is coming out is try and listen to the ost. So when I heard heard that Origa had a track on it, I got excited as hell, and LOVED this song... And I'm just figuring out like 10 minutes ago that she passed away last year... 😢 RIP

Ugh, I love both songs, but the aggressive mix more ❤️ the crossover is amazing!

This is easily one of my Top 10 FF songs, if not one of my Top 10 personal favorite songs. Thank you Origa and SE

Do you remember the sound of the ocean waves?

R.I.P Origa :(

Rest in peace Origa...

I love this song so much it’s at the very bottom of my favorite list and I came back to listen and omg I’m legit teary eyed 💕

Anyone just listen and imagine lighting’s story completely differently?

Ive still got my collectors box for this game :) (Ps3)

RIP Origa

NOOOOOOOO R.I.P. ORIGAAAAA

just discovered that she's the same signer that sing inner universe from ghost in the shell

That Deep Trance beat tho.

Rip Origa

9 years ago? It’s really been that long?

Everything is shiny in the sun ♥️

Hi i am new player on this game now i playing this l want to say this game is very good very good story and character is beautiful and i love to use serah is beautiful girl and serah is a strong girl to to save noel .

this was when i knew i'd love 13-2

love the jazzy drumming

i spent an hour in bodhum just to hear this and my fav part, 1:43-3:30 :P

I really need to get a newer console so I can get these games. All my friends just will not shut up about how good the trilogy is.

As a fan of Ghost In The Shell..First time i listen to song... i know its Origa 👍

This is probably my favorite song of the FF13 franchise. It captures the youthful spirit of NORA and the seaside feel of New Bodhum perfectly. My only qualm is that you only get to hear the aggressive for a few seconds.

I was SUPER impressed at how they placed the mix towards the end of the 'New Bodhum' so that the transition into the remix IS PERFECT!!!! I actually found it too perfect and had to check my ipod to figure out what they had done - sneaky ^^ but awesome!

My song when the day becomes perfect:)

This song is a FUCKING masterpiece!

This is fucking gorgeous!

Dunno why everyone is mixed about the soundtrack, this is gorgeous!

RIP Origa :(

I love this song. I always listen to it while running or riding my bike through the forest preserve =]

The thing I love of this song, is that if it wasn't from this game and it was just released on it's own on TV it would fucking blow up because of how summer'y it feels and just puts you in that awesome mood if you're not in it already, don't you guys agree?

Best song to start the 2017" >.

the agressive version sounds like something that would be placed in modern Tekken OST, the tone fits perfecly ;p

One of my favorite. Relaxing music... In this OST, got more vocal music. Something new... and I think is a good move for FF music.

I completely adore these two songs

You get a sub good sir 👍🎶

Yes, it is Origa, the vocalist for songs like Inner Universe.

Free on gamepass, damn the soundtrack fire AF.

After hearing this in Lightning Returns I thought it sounded like Origa singing. So glad I was actually right :)

The tracks with normal and combat versions are the best, and most of the tracks with lyrics are really good.

The best song in the game!

My favorite part about this game was the beginning, when you're running around the area... I'd always set the camera over the little pier and ocean and just let this track play o_o

Omg love this song!!!! This sounds like origa!!! origa is a amazing singer,love ghost in the shell

Been looking for this song for over 10 years

The art above makes it look like Caius Ballad has one really long leg and one really short leg... (Caius is the one on the left with the giant sword, incase you didn't know...)

On a beautiful day this some adds to it. Great music this is. I honestly think people who truely are talented at singing and song making have moves to Video games. I have not heard a song as good as this in a while. Video games have resurrected my want to listen to music. Thank you FF 13-2!

This soundtrack is so good!

This song always seems to make me in a better mood.

My favorite track of this FF

i remeber of just wanering in the this zone jsut for listening the music

I would be on island and would have the camera facing the distant skies .. that plus hearing this is so beautiful

Perfect island music

if you think about it and wacth it closely the first place you start at is like destiny islands! :)

I have finally found you!!!

I could totally dance to the last part. I SWEAR I would kiss the DJ who played it. XD

Ghost in The Shell Stand Alone Complex vibes

@TheTux94 It's actually both tracks together. The Aggressive Mix version starts around the 4:50 mark.

Definitely recognized this singer when I heard her. I loved her work in Ghost in the Shell. :)

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line needs to add a feature where these tracks from XIII-2 that have both "Normal" and "Aggressive" mixes are incorporated into one song. Play this track in a FMS and it starts off Normal but then when you get into battle it transitions into Aggressive mix and back to Normal when the enemy is gone. Phantasy Star Online was able to do something like that over 20 years ago so no reason why it couldn't be done in Theatrhythm.

magnifique!!! ☼

This song sounds so nostalgic...........even though this game came out this year

I kind of wish they didn't switch the music in battle and just let the aggressive mix play. It kind of makes more sense. Otherwise why even have it?

NICE ONE ! THANKS !

If Utopia ever needed a theme song💯🖤.

This is my All time favorite final fantasy game I have not played a ff game that beats it yet love it .love the music in the game too:D

Yeah you tend to murder any monster in New Bodhum by looking at it the wrong way.

Why is there ads on this vid like it's a typical 10min vid. Music dont have ads.

Fantastic... Nothing more to say.

Origa is the woman who also song GITS Opening theme song!

FUCKING LOVE ORIGA!!! THANK YOU

Sounds amazing on a beach :)

If u count the tracks used from FF13 aswell then this is one seriously buff soundtrack, so many gems in there

Bro when that BEAT DROP DOE!!!

nice mix
