A collection of my favorite videogame music. Note that most of them are from games I played so I might miss some great ones from games I never played.
Playstation
Xenogears (1998)
Shevat, The Wind is Calling
Yasunori Mitsuda
This is the hold music you hear when you call heaven
Check out my cover of this ☺
Def gotta play through this game again and actually take the time as an Adult to understand the storyline!
I can see how this inspired the World Tree theme from Xenoblade 2.
I use this as a ringtone!
Xenogears=my favorite game of all time At first some plot elements are thrown to the player in a confusing way, but it all makes sense in the end. Xenogears is a story spanning several millennia that involves four different incarnations of the Contact and the Antitype, heroes that actually have flaws and feel human, heartwrenching drama scenes, villains that are just heroes in disguise, visuals that most people criticize but I like more than those of FF7, an absolutely awesome OST, lots of character development not only for Fei, but also for other important characters like Elly, Citan, Bart and even the "big bads" Ramsus, Grahf and Krelian and a heartwrenching ending which is neither happy nor sad (Fei saved Elly and the world, but the destruction of the Zohar prevented Gears and technology from working, so the world is now in a state almost as bleak as how it would have been if Deus had succeeded in absorbing all humans), and I wish that Square Enix made a Xenogears HD remaster for the PS4 with a new battle system, improved visuals and all the cut content being an actual part of the game instead of being explained to us in a 30-minute cutscene or completely omitted, even at the cost of having three discs (The El-Regrs for example: I loved Elly so much and I wish I could play as her in her Omnigear)! I'm so sad Italian JRPG fans have never seen this masterpiece of a game coming to their country and I wish Square Enix could make another story like this one for FF16, or perhaps rename FF16 the Xenogears HD remaster so that Italian FF fans may play it. Please, Square, remember what you once were and give me a Xenogears HD remaster!
Too bad there will never be more of Xeno-anything. Company politics and other factors ensure. Same with the fact that there isn't enough money to be found in a remake now, and especially not in a remaster.
I'm italian and thankfully I played and loved Xenogears a lot!
At its core Xenogears is a love story of two souls reincarnating over many millennia and finally finding their way to each other for real this time. And it’s so ahead of its time.
kinda mix from music box melody and aromatherapy meditation song for sure.. :D :D ,...
Shala Intro :)
Holy crap it kind of does remind me of Schala's theme!
*glass breaking*
Masterpiece.
I love this guy's music (in Xenoblade too)
Wait what Yasunori Mitsuda composed the music for Xenogears?! I had no clue!
That guy works magic within any system he works in.
You... must be the new... welcome :)
Yasunori Mitsuda is a beast in composing music
Yeah, his soundtracks are my favorite. Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross are my favorites.
OMG; when I first heard this I was In dreamland. The best tune I ever heard In any game; then again Xenogears gets my vote for the best game ever created.
I think I'm gonna have to agree with you on that. I've played all the Xeno-games since and while they're good, Xenogears was legendary for me....right up there with Final Fantasy 6 and 7.
Same here
true
I love how they did this. It's a journey to travel up the Tower, but when you get there it's really just this break that you can take for a few minutes to decompress from the story.
+Kevin Nicklen you need it too. I was a wreck after trying to get up that tower.
@Norman Bellamy missing those damn leaps of faith...
Didn't you have to face Seibzehn? That was a pretty tough battle IIRC...
Never had the chance to play this one. Going to buy it. Music - to me - is like a mix of FF and Mystical Ninja (N64).
+187onaPigeon You will not be disappointed; everything about Xenogears is phenomenal 187.
Hope you had a chance to buy the game already. The game is one of the best.
I believe this is the town you come to after going up a really annoying tower in your Gears. Very nice piece of music to be greeted to after that ordeal.
+Dewani90 let me correct you, the gear that you're talking about is Seibzehn and the gear is actually sentinent. There is a consciousness in him and thus no cockpit. Maria is his friend, and they stay together. Seibzehn is the only gear that actually is self aware.
@***** Achtzen I will give you,because he was the prototype to Seibzehn but Weltall does not. It responds only to the contact. Why do you respond to me in such a confident manner when you're wrong? I don't get it.
@***** But Weltall only responded when Id activated in Fei, ergo Id "Called" out to Weltall. It wasn't vice versa.
What can i say about this piece simple smoothing.
when a song almost brings tearrs to your eyes...you know its great!...
Just finished this game for the 4th time since 1998.....Wow this was so surreal.
Why can't every YouTube comment section be this civilized?
Xenogears fans are a classy, intellectual bunch
If you came here to listen to the Xenogear's OST, you are definitely a cut above the typical Youtube viewer :p
This theme always felt so much like something Motoi Sakuraba would make.
Yasunori Mitsuda
I'm well aware of the composer, I was just saying the style of this track in particular always felt more in the style Sakuraba used for the Tales series
Idk this screams Chrono to me
Woah there, pardner. That's WAY to philosophical for a youtube video. We came here to get DUMBER, not smarter!
Mitsuda definitely has a unique sense of bass, in one of the previous videos you even mentioned "Mitsuda-bass" which is the best way to describe it. Been wondering if the bass he uses is fretless.
Yeah, it's like Secret of the Forest with Schala's Theme's metallic sound and rondo-style.
Between this and Chrono Trigger or FF6... Best Rpg ever made!! and the music in this game is this beyond words and trascends time man...endless classic that we can come back to listen to years later and it will still be great!!!
Probably my favorite track from the game, and that's sayin alot
jesus I've been through a metric fuckton of your videos and I swear you have my exact taste in video games / video game music as myself eternal brofist for you, sir
The beginning sounds almost exactly like Schala's Theme!!
Funny that this reminds me of those days around 97 or 98 when I was in high school and online, roleplaying on the AOL chatrooms in "Rhydin." I had all my random video game music that I had managed to download in various places (hard to do back then) and I would cycle through them as I played. This was a top favorite.
beautiful track for a beautifully orchestrated game. gotta love Xenogears.
OMG xenogears had such good music...and it was such a long game so u could enjoy the music that much longer
Oh my god, memories. haha
@Sayeth0Di0Puppeth That remix is so nice. I play the guitar, and so I was like "ahhh!"
This song and the world map song are my favorite two songs of Xenogears. I remember playing this game as a kid and finally making it to shevat and was amazed! The desert village song at the beginning of the game was awesome too!
Ah, I love this tune~ I first heard the melody from this really good OCRemix of the song... It's called Echoes. I really need to play this game. >.<
@zak832 This is way better imo
Xenogears has got an AMAZING soundtrack, one of the best ever.
Do you ever worry about running out of songs?
SupraDarky Can't believe you're only now getting to this one ^^ Awww, I can't be mad at you lol
Awww, one of my favs from the game! This game has a most epic soundtrack! I absolutely LOVED this song! Couldn't stay in the area that it played for long, because the music actually puts me to sleep. That's why I put on one of my relaxation CDs!
It's either Xenogears or Xenosaga. Both masterpieces for some obvious reasons.^^
Xenogears has so many memorable pieces, this definitely being one of them!
THANK SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS I LOVE THIS TUNE!!! I play this tune on the piano alot and I really love the melody. The instruments Yasunori Mitsuda chose for this music is really cool too keeping it not only easy to listen to but original than anything else heard in Xenoogears. I never leave this tune out of my Ipod either :D
can't stop whistling on this track lol
yasunori mitsuda is freakin brilliant!
The beginning reminds me a little of Schala's theme on Chrono Trigger. Very relaxing. I've never played this game, but am a fan of Mitsuda's work.
@SupraDarky Yes, and did you notice how those high notes correspond to the words "to the end of the world" from the vocal ending theme of Xenogears? :)
this game is in my backlog. will either play this or chrono cross after finishing up FF9
OmnipotentO i hope you already played it! xD
Thanks to your list, I picked this game up about a month ago. Loved it and the music played no small part in me loving it.
@Masz52 * "though I don't think" is what I meant to say
Perhaps I'll play this someday. Perhaps. Xenoblade looks interesting though I don't it's supposed to be related to this is it? I also played Xenosaga when I was younger and liked it but I'm not sure how I'd feel about it these days. And I didn't like Episode II.
Same here, best town ever. Plus it has a jukebox with the other songs, what's not to like?
My favorite town theme right there. :)
A lovely theme for an epic game. I've been listening to the soundtrack (that I bought soon after the game's release) so I felt like adding another track from this game. The bass in this song always reminded me of Mitsuda's Secret of the Forest from CT. The flute melody is also really nice, almost emotional when it hits those high notes.
