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.
Wii
Pandora's Tower (2011)
Final Boss
Yuichi Hirose & Takayuki Kobara
Ah, memories of the "Big 3" Nintendo titles that needed to be localized! Xenoblade, Last Story, Pandora's Tower.
StevenTravelCaptainRogers I played all three of them!
Elena's the best. Still, what color will her hair turn when she's old? Even more gray?
Franz Liszt's Liebestraum <3
Song inspired from the famous pianist and composer Franz Liszt's Liebestraum (Love Dream)
Yeah, the only minor complain I have about the bosses is that you only use the chain against them...not that's really bad, but the combat moves with the sword, knives and scythe are stylish and tricky, and I would've loved to use them against the bosses...
Because we all enjoy having to run around waiting to bump into some 20 ft tall monster we SOMEHOW didn't see just a second ago, and having to repeat that over and again until we can buy powerful enough items to compensate for our total lack of willingness of leaning how to play.
like your soul.
NO! THAT CLICHE HAS BEEN DONE TO DEATH! WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER FUCKING GAME THAT DOES THAT! besides, it's and action game no fuck it's not going to have random encounters, dumbass.
you are so fucking stupid it is actually physically hurting me. it's called a choir, and a good one at that. it doesn't have to be be really lyrics, just vocals. please never breed ever.
I reeaaaaaaaaaaally hope this song makes Smash Bros.. maybe in a Fire emblem stage?
I just beat the game. Gotta say...That was the most badass fight in a long while; coupled with this theme, and it's glorious! Xenoblade and Last Story were fun games, but I tended to overlevel and it was too easy. This game, being more of an action game, had a more satisfying boss fight, imo.
A lot of Pandora's Tower's aesthetic and musical themes reminded me of Bayonetta, and between the fight itself and this music, Zeron reminded me a lot of Jubileus.
I love how this game uses classical music in its soundtrack. It's always so grandiose and sets the mood perfectly.
It has been one year now and I am hoping you have seen the boss by then... did the final boss meet your expectations?
It should be here by April 16th. ...don't spoil yourself by listening to the final boss theme! >_<
When will this game hit the States?
it is really epic
vocal and instrumental music for bosses are epic
Liebesträume, Noccturno III by Liszt.
Hm, this sounds ten times better in the game itself. I'm actually a bit disappointed listening to the song itself.
This song is grand and carries sadness within.
Square didn't make thus game Ganbarion made it.
@jemaoca1 Yes they are just as epic if not better than Pandoras Tower's. Xenoblade and Last Story in general have allot more to offer than PT but i feel like Aeron and Elena are much more interesting characters because of their situation and their bond, beautifull game!
the boss was definitely enjoyable. Music fit well and the story was emotional a great addition along with xenoblade and the last story for my wii :).
I thought this music fit the final boss perfectly. This whole game is grotesque, but it asks the question of whether one can see past the veil of the monster into the humanity inside. The whole game does this, from the monster design (shoving human faces at you at every opportunity), to the backstory behind the Masters of the 13 towers, to of course the relationship between Aeron and Elena. This music captures that theme pretty damn well, in my opinion, while still being exciting as all hell.
Surely you heard the singing.
It is true that the music fits the game's environment and anbience very well. My concern is that there are several sections in this piece that could have been a lot better, thus "not worthy" of being used along with the Liebestraum theme (which is a masterpiece indeed).
Could have been better better I guess. Liszt would be ashamed :(
The boss was quite enjoyable :)
@baschfire Seriously! i mean look at star wars episode 1 and duel of fates (thats what its called right) made that fight 5 times mmore awesome
@Baghnal It depends. I think this song is really epic and grand, it just has a different mood than One-Winged Angel. What really makes the difference are the circumstances when it's played.
@Evilriku13 It's a "contrast", it's used pretty often when you want to make something grotesque.
@SoopahUltraTV You sir have very excellent intentions.
@baschfire final boss of ffxiii
I think square had to push this game's release back because of the failure that is Final Fantasy 14 online. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
@SupraDarky this game will come to america 2012 and to europe too.i wanna play it^^
@SoopahUltraTV Nintendo Legos would be the most badass thing ever.
@mattias313 Yes, I'm aware of that. Stop bragging. lol
@SoopahUltraTV No one is really clamoring for that game. It was also released in 2005 on the PS2... it's a port.
@GameBeatenakaKevinS we're getting all of them here in europe.
I just watched a gameplay video. This should be released in North America.
I'm surprised at how Nintendo doesn't localize these type of things.
@SoopahUltraTV It looks worse, this looks like it would belong on the PS1. The gameplay looks really stupid it's not an RPG.
@SoopahUltraTV Everything about this game.
@NetConsole Yeah, so I actually am hoping it'll stay an Europe exclusive. I mean, the last one we got was Freshly Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland which is a great game but not exactly what you hope for.
@seany018 now your just making me confused man!
By the way, the choir is singing "Lieberstraum".
Epic choirs are the best cliche ever
Pretty much everything Atlus has made on the DS never made it to Europe and adding to that, here's a lot more over the years: Tales of: Destiny, Destiny 2, Legendia, the Abyss. Xenogears, Xenosaga 1 & 3, Suikoden 3, FF IV took 15 years, FF VI took 13 years, Chrono Trigger took 14 years, Mario RPG took 12 years, etc etc etc. When games don't get localiced to EU, Nobody cares. When games don't get localiced to American areas, then there is an uproar.
Well, looks like I guessed right! :)
after all the rpgs i missed out on on snes and psx, here's what i think. IN YOUR FACE!! PS: sorry for that, i actually feel sorry for americans.. a tiny bit at least.
Hmm... Not bad, but I don't think it's a good battle theme. A boss battle theme should be more... Powerfull.... Epic... Just like in FF7
@seany018 at least you don't live in Europe ._.
@seany018 They're clearly not.
This game looks awful. Give a random encounter RPG in this generation please!
Try Pokemon.
@SoopahUltraTV Pandora's Tower looks awful.
@SoopahUltraTV Odds are they'll just send in Luigi to rescue him and pummel the hell out of you. With a waste disposal unit and a Game Boy only.
VGM # 987, and here's another game that everyone wants Nintendo Of America to localize/release. I feel you could keep doing that right up until 1000.
I'm imagining one hell of a boss to match this theme.
is it true that this is a first party game?
@DratVanity If they don't release any, they don't sell at all. Refusing to offer your product to a market that has specifically asked you for it is not a good way to boost sales of that product.
omg dota2 trailer is so awesome
@Serin9X Because ordinarily they don't sell well enough. Simply business.
@SupraDarky I love the soundtrack posts you've made for this and Xenoblade. It really makes me wonder why Nintendo is so vehemently opposed to giving the US solid JRPGs for the Wii. It makes no sense
@PrincipleButtsavich Fortunately, XSEED has expressed interest in localizing Earth Seeker. The game is pretty much all but guaranteed to come to America unless it inexplicably bombs in Japan.
The Last Story, Xenoblade, Pandora's Tower, Earth Seeker, Fatal Frame, Tales of Graces and Disaster: Day Of Crysis. A bunch of games that need to came out here!
This is...different. As samey as the modern generation of games tends to feel, I guess that's a good thing all by itself.
I'm only gonna get Last Story. The other games just don't really appeal to me.
This doesn't sound like most final boss songs. And I mean that as a good thing! This was great!!
I gotta say, vocal boss themes are the best ever. Nothin is as powerful as a full choir IMO
A good compilation of classical music, I see. I especially liked the part with Liszt's Liebestraum chant starting from 0:39. Although, the rest of the theme is equally beautiful. (Spellchecked on Liszt. xD)
Nice Music ;) nathie
And here's the 3rd and final game people are trying to convince Nintendo of America to bring here. The soundtrack has a lot of chants/vocals in it, like this final boss theme. This one grew on me, fighting against the final boss with this playing must be pretty epic.
