RIP Ennio Morricone; a legend

The true Western RPG...

Pure golden ecstasy! ;)

The best RPG map theme ever.. I remenber playing this game when i was 12 and this music sent a shiver down my spine

REST IN PEACE Ennio Morricone

Of course the insparation is ecstasy of gold and this is an incredible choice. It fits perfectly the game and the 'western" ambiance of the beginning of the game.

I remember playing this game way back in 2003 I have no idea about JRPG or RPG in general man I didn't know that I started my JRPG journey with this legendary game now hearing it again brings so much memories and nostalgia

The moment I walked out of the first town as Rudy and heard L'estasi Del'oro I was sold on this game hook, line, and sinker! This soundtrack was amazing.

Damn man............. i remember going over my neighbors house when I was a child listening to this legendary OST. I miss you Josh and Daniel. I hope you guys are good wherever you are.

This song brings back so many great memories. Loved this game so much.

not at all inspired by ecstasy of gold

Heard this elsewhere. I was humming along and it felt nostalgic to me. I've never played this game. Then I read the Ecstasy of Gold comments and it clicked. That's why it felt familiar.

PLEASE tell me someone else can hear "Ecstasy of gold" in this... I mean... besides the hard rock and the drums... I listened to them side by side and.... there are minor differences but they remind me so much of each other!

Is someone on gaming halls playing a game that has a gold styled theme and when you win big in the free spins this melody comea up? This got me back to listening to this awesome soundtrack 😊

A lot of people heard Ecstasy of Gold first then this theme, but for me this is the first time I have ever exposed to Ennio Morricone. Then I watch The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of course :)

Ennio Morricone - Ecstasy of Gold (The Good, the Bad, the Ugly) rulez!

hm, this sounds familiar. :)

This theme brings me so many good memories, thanks for upload !!!🔥

This is truly incredible! I wanna get this game now, I love this!

Call it what you want, I enjoyed this theme back then and still do.

Reminds me a lot of Ennio Morricone music. Great stuff

Thank you Reckful for showing me this video all those years ago.

Michiko Morricone ❤

Wild Arms FTW!

After all these years I'm surprised nobody realized that this music is a remixed version of an old Clint East Wood movie called the Good the Bad and the Ugly.

Too many memories? One can have no such thing.

a song that i still humbling up until now eventhough me already 30y.o hahahaha

You are the BEST! Best Game - Best uploader... :-)

Modelos beer brought me here

damn this really takes ya back

The Ecstacy of Gold - Ennio Morricone The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

it sounds a lot like a specific soundtrack from the good the bad and the ugly,at least for me

A trilha sonora desse jogo toca o coração muito linda.

Digital Foundry´s video about the PlayStation Classic brought me here!

eher 'stark inspiriert von' : ) und das sehr schön umgesetzt. ich liebe es.

Adro esta musica !!! Me lembra os velhos tempos

Man where have I heard this song before hmmm I wonder...

Memories.

2023.. Still on my mind..

Ecstasy of Gold

T.T my childhood!

Wette voll viele hier wegen Glp

I have only played Wild Arms 1 and 2 but I know those are the classics.

Best ringtone EVER ! Try it out :D

As a kid hearing this song was just a regular song then watching the good the bad and the ugly now I see.

ReckFul PogChamp

@SinJackal Naruke was a big fan of spaghetti western music, and it IS a bit different after the main theme. I think this is a great tribute to the original song. The music in this game very much reminds me of Alundra. That game rocked, too.

Ein hoch auf Twitter

Metallica enters the stage to Morricone's "Ecstasy of Gold" at all of their concerts. Because of this, they were asked to compose a cover version of the song for the "We Love Ennio Morricone" compilation. There is simply no ripping off happening.

GermanLetsPlay's Wecker!

The guy in the brown jacket's face reminds me of Christopher Lloyd.

Little nods to great spaghetti westerns like this are what made Wild Arms 1 great, and set it apart from the shit sandwich that the franchise became. L'estasi del'oro as the world map theme? Fucking awesome.

Yeah, plenty of people were saying that, but great "caring" shouldn't be assumed from a mere 2 sentence reply from a year ago. It doesn't really matter if you agree. Whether or not someone feels they're overrated is just their opinion, I have mine and you have yours. We don't need to agree with eachother or anyone else for our opinions to feel validated. And yes, Wild Arms did also "rip off" the song. Not from Metalica, but from the original guy who Metalica ripped it off from as well.

So I just seen a modelo beer commercial and knew this song was familiar af lol

10/10

I take myself back, with PSXFin and Wild Arms roms.

I remember I asked my mom to buy this game to hold me over until FF7 came out. I actually enjoyed it. Never played the sequels though

Dschörmis Wecker :D GLP ftw

It's a homage to EoG, a song by Ennio Morricone, who Metallica loved. Hence the link to the song.

Ecstasy of Gold = World Map Theme at 0.5 Speed. World Map Theme = Ecstasy of Gold at 1.5 Speed.

This was used in the last 2 Space levels in But Too for the Saturn wtf

@glp bist der beste brudii

Yeah i just watched that Breaking Bad video and the memory of this song was torturing me xD

Metallica recorded the studio version of The Ecstasy because they were asked to partake on a tribute album to Ennio. Furthermore, Hetfield cites that The Good, The Bad is one of his favorite movies as well as Clint Eastwood being one of his favorite actors. They also sampled the song as an intro since the 1980s Showing appreciation towards something you like doesn't constitute as ripping off. I'd wager that those 9 people that "agree" with you didn't know that as well as yourself.

@MiKEY83091 Yep, that's exactly what I was referring to. At the time I made that old comment, there were a few comments about how "Wild Arms ripped off Metalica", so I thought that was ironic since Metalica ripped off the Clint Eastwood movie's soundtrack for that song.

And I seriously doubt the game devs for Wild Arms have even heard of the Metallica song, because the Wild Arms one sounds nothing like that at all. Rather, it sounds very close to the Clint Eastwood one, which was the obvious inspiration for the song on this video.

I believe ecstasy of gold was originally from The Good The Bad and The Ugly. . It was most definitely sampled for the making of this theme. Metallica made their own cover of the song because GBU was one of the band member's favorite movie. watch?v=NOKhQ8ObQ7E

Thé only game you go to map for pleasure

@Visualundeath It was barely rearranged. The tune was almost the exact same only played with different instruments, and then added stuff around it to make a more interesting track. You don't understand why I even made that comment. People were posting here claiming that Wild Arms soundtrack ripped off Metalica, which it clearly did not. They were dumb enough to think Metalica invented the tune, hence my comment.

Who's here after Jump Half

Hab ich auch beim ersten anhoeren gedacht. Wobei ich doch zuerst an das Metallica Live Intro denken musste (was ja der Song ist xD)

the wild west!!!!

@acaserogue01 I still see wild arms as one of the more entertaining rpgs upto five(skipped 4). Maybe it got a bit easy.

Mr Meeea brought me here...

@acaserogue01 Eh, I beg to differ. The newer Wild Arms are still good. They're just not as Western Focused. They still have the theme though.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

GLP!

@Visualundeath In other words, they used the tune of that song as a base to create a song specifically based on that other song. You can use euphemisms for it and label it as whatever you want, but you can't deny that the metallica song was specifically based on that other song. I'm not ashamed to say Wild Arms ripped off the Clint Eastwood movie. They did. What I'm saying is, it's pathetic that ignorant kids think they ripped off Metalica who in fact ripped off the Clint Eastwood movie.

Doesn't matter. To begin with, my comment was directed at people who claimed that the developers of this game ripped off Metalica. Hence my comment about the idiots who made said comments. The fact remains that the song was created well before Metalica ripped it off/made a tribute to it (whatever makes you feel better) I also don't really care about how many people like my comments, but I guess it's too bad that it bothers you that so many people liked my comment and didn't like any of yours.

Hmm, I seem to sense a bit to many similarities with a score composed by that of a certain Ennio Morricone.

#GermanLetsPlayARMEE😂❤✋

Yeah Ecstacy of Gold is definitely in this, and Metallica didn't write Ecstacy of Gold

This track was used way to often in RPG Maker trash.

The good the bad and the ugly.

vllt. ist es ja andersherum ^^

Wer ist wegen GLP hier?

wie einfach richtig viele wegen glp hier sind :D

Englisches video ect und du schreibst deutsch.....gg

Glp♡♥

@Visualundeath Try actually reading my comments and improve your comprehension of what I said. Then you will understand what my point was.

You mean the same bands that do it because they are fans of the work and pay honor to it? The same bands that introduce more people to a classic work that deserves to be exposed to as many generations as possible? I personally love it when people fail at being wiseguys since it's hilarious how they lack any type of logic or facts. Not a fan of said band either by the way. Still funny though :P

@Visualundeath See as how I have the top rated comment, I'm not worried about how many people agree or don't agree with me since obviously most agree. Feel free to continue your Metalica white knighting. The fact remains that they ripped off the Clint Eastwood tune, and Wild Arms did as well. The Wild Arms tune is not based upon the Metalica song whatsoever, which is my entire point. So all your commenting is completely pointless seeing as how the truth is fairly obvious.

#GLPFTW :3 ♡

Copied from Ennio Morricone!

Don't you just love it when newbs give credit for a song from nearly 40 years ago to some overrated rock band that clearly ripped it off?

yet a game that is 2d and haves birds eye view look with really shit 3d ramdom battles haves more sole then ff13

lol What a shameless ripoff!

GLP!
