[fish4mepl0x]

THIS is the song that gets me pumped for a battle!!

[leingodf8]

Blinding bolts of lighting, Grant my sword the power TO STRIKE DOWN EVIL!

~Best skill initiation ever (the rare occasion it happens)

[oOyurriOo]

この曲カッコいい!

[Darkvega2k7]

This would've been one of my favorites games of all time...if only the second disk never happened....

[mcgrew125]

This is one of my favorite boss themes.

[RickygoesRawrr]

hammer of might is now an attack from the enemies in star ocean 4...

[Enclavefakesoldier]

Oh Dimension door, how you helped me against those Chimera so many times...

[ragnorokh]

@Enclavefakesoldier my most fav skill in the game <3

[Isaac10best]

This is my 2nd favorite game in the world! FF7 has a beat by a few points, but I LOOOOOVEEE this game!

[captainspanky101]

Star Ocean 3 is definitely better than 4 in my opinion. Edge just wines the whole time and cries like a little girl. "ITS ALL MY FAULT!! ITS ALL MY FAULT!! WAAAHHH!!" He seriously needs to learn to just get over it.

[KaiserKingMedia]

i beat the game but theirs still plenty of challenges to d o battle trophy's i liked this so much i got the one for x box star ocen the last hope they need to make this download-able for x box that's how win it it and its ahead of its time for a p2 game

[bash619x]

i love this game

[SpeedyStorm]

We need a Star Ocean collection for PS3. Put First Departure and Second Story (Evolution) and Till The End Of Time on there. Easy money.

[RickygoesRawrr]

@SpeedyStorm

that would be awesome

[Ahluk1]

Not hating on Motoi Sakuraba, but this is one of the many songs he's done that actually doesn't sound like it came from him

[RobochaoXX]

@Ahluk1 Exactly, this sounds like something from Guilty Gear

I was like THIS CAN'T BE HIM

[TenchiHawkwing]

@Ahluk1 Can't see why that could be hateful. Pretty much every composer has a certain style and if you've heard enough of their music you know it came from them.

[Zell445Return]

Love it!

[xXRiekoRuzakiXx]

oh gawd THIS game lawls saw my friends bro playin it

"finally a real~challenge!" a rock or an old man whom you mug?

........ B[ all I could think of was...really?

[AudoiiBees]

This game was so sick haha, I wanna play it again!

Except the voice acting almost made my ears bleed, other than that it was a 10/10 game for me.

[Skydragonknight01]

i remember this theme when you fight that dragon at the end of disc 1 this brings back memories "HAMMER OF MIGHT" cliff will always be the best thing about that game in my heart

[restlessZombie92]

just goddamn epic

this tune is just the best in the game ^-^

[cervantespr]

Scatter Beam --- Laser Blast! Thats it.

[wesker121]

Start Battle!

Fayt: Air...Raid!

Albel: I can't believe it! I won't believe it!

[DarkFrozenDepths]

this was the best theme in so3 in my opinion. this was one bad ass song for a disc ending fight

[talesfreak1432]

i just played tales of the abyss and i JIZZEd. IN, MY PANTS.

[OroCrimson]

I'd always play as fayt and then cliff would steal the last hit and the spotlight from me, so I got really tired of his ending taunts fast.

[Zemlin]

Gust of Wind Dance! ... oh wait...

[HikaruIrving]

<3 MP damage is your best friend <3

[Izzy890]

Battle begin!

"THIS IS GONNA HURT!"

Battle end!

"Oh hey, Cliff leveled up again."

[iisaaaaa]

hehe SCs alwyas remind me of ToS,ToS2 :P

[garrahasfunk]

@iisaaaaa Star Ocean was made to compete against the Tales games

[knowwhoiamyet]

@iisaaaaa Yeah, I noticed that immediately after playing SO4. I still like tales more, as I like a more... past like setting. Though, I love SO4. I haven't played the others, as I don't own a ps2 or anything. =(

[imwiththebaka]

I Died on Purpose to hear this song again. Guess i coulda just paused it xD

[disasterprodigy1]

WOW THIS WAS THE BEST BATTLE IN THE WORLD! V.S. THE HUGE AND MIGHTY CROSSELL!!!!

[neoneo23]

SHOTGUN BLAST!!!!!!

[imawindow]

Side kick! Side kick! Side kick! Side kick! Side kick!

Aiming Device! Aiming Device! Aiming Device! Aiming Device! Aiming Device!

Air slash! Air slash! Air slash! Air slash! Air slash! Air slash!

Loveleh.

First playthrough was with Fayt, Cliff and Nel..now busy with Albel, Maria and Sophia.

Should do one with Roger, Adray and Peppita after that.

[Izzy890]

@imawindow I usually ran Mirage, Sophia, and Maria

[Spappolator9]

yeah +400% with sidekick hahaha

[Dlayer7]

Albel: I'm in the mood for some good clean violence.

Fayt: Dimension.... Door.... *cancel* now you see me... now you dont!

Cliff: Infinity.... Kick *cancel* Acrobat Locus!

Albel: Shockwave swirl *cancel* Dragon Roar!

[4rch1tect]

MAGNETIC FIELDDDD

ENERGY BURST!

[Dante0397]

Great times, I remember the time when I was playing with a friend and a bot, 3 fayts on the battlefield, 3 dimension doors at the same time, *cluck*, guess what, the Image got frozen, no sound, nothing. "Say waaahhhhhtt". Literally, it did happened.

[tubebandito]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOHGOD, its Star Ocean! xD

[ZeroxShadowscape]

Hammer of Might!

Dimension...DOOR!

Aiming Device! Aiming Device! Aiming Device!

Fayt and Cliff: O_O

YOU JUST GOT PWNED! FTW!

[TheWeakHuman]

Demension slash!

[BlitzAce13]

Battle Start!

"Hammer of Might!"

Battle End~

Oh the memories...

[asskicker80]

EPIC WIN! Battle Start!

Mel: "Just keep your cool okay"

Fayt:" ETHERIAL BLAST!"

Battle end~

[iisaaaaa]

@BlitzAce13 hahahaha! yea :D... 

[grindingtheaxe]

@BlitzAce13 somebody hasn't fought Albel 4 or 5 yet.

[Unclefoda]

Hate me those who do not agree, but I feel nostalgic when listening to Nobuo Uematsu musics. He is the guy, for me.

Although I admire and like Ishiwatari.

[remixedstream]

SHOTGUN BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[calvinsora101]

Ethereal...BLAST! I really like the guitar, it's so rockin'.

[Shadocoon]

Agreed.

[MysticRhymes]

you cant go wrong with a guitar based battle song

[L7dreamtheaterfan]

you know, tales and star ocean have the best music EVER. and they use guitars. its a sign

[secretcraznman]

try guilty gear and blazblue's music its way better than this trust me

[L7dreamtheaterfan]

guilty gear does have good music, ill admit that. But no where close to motoi's work. Every one of his songs is amazing.

[secretcraznman]

i suppose...i prefer Daisuke Ishiwatari's compositions because they implement the electric guitar more as the core instrument with great complexity n melody

[L7dreamtheaterfan]

true, his use of guitar is better, but thats because thats the primary focus focus, In motois work, its not as complex, because he is better at implementing big string sections and emaculate chorus's to create fullness. He also like using organs. So his focus is different, Hence why guilty gear has better guitar focused music.

[secretcraznman]

Daisuke uses organ alot as the harmony to the guitar...but both of the composers are good and their music sure fits the games they make it for

[L7dreamtheaterfan]

@secretcraznman I agree completely.

[sonofdeleniel007]

i totally agree there, but there are other games with kickass music. know what i mean? seriously, this is not the only square-enix game with kickass music. trust me.

[L7dreamtheaterfan]

Oh, don't think I don't know that. final fantasy 6, kingdom hearts and star ocean 4 all have some my favorite video game songs

[Unclefoda]

@sonofdeleniel007 Like Guilty Gear and BlazBlue right?

[Biskmatar100]

Lol I remember this song. It was so unique to me at the time cuz I had never ever heard a battle song that used electric guitars up till this time. And also, it's a kickass song to boot.

[Ahluk1]

Isn't this a dungeon theme?? I can't remember because I haven't played it for a couple years now

[Cynicalias]

Naaah its the theme when you fight Crosell that dragon thingy lol, and when you fight Albel :}

[superlarry54]

good game to bad I lacked the intelligence to play it (tried to rush the game never beat it)

[legend007]

258 hours and still only 65% of the battle trophies :P. The fight with Lenneth and Freya were so much fun.

[maverickrx8]

AMAZING GAME RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! my only problem is i cant get my ppl to hit over 10 thousands in one hit.......and my data that had my ppl almost past 100 got corrupted!! epick phayle for me haha but the music on here is awesome!!! including the fight music

[xeno200]

i liked this game alot too was just mad that i couldnt take all my characters with me i wanted nel and albel in my party and didnt know til after i looked at the stratgy guide that you had to choose who got to go with you

[bash619x]

Side kick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! owns all

[ExireHG]

How many times has Sakuraba been on this list? Might as well just get it over with and start bowing to our new god. He is too good.

[Zenjin000]

He is not a God.... but he is fucking awesome! 1:37 - 2:09 Ohhh..... EPIC Guitar Riffs!!!!

[CloudStriiff]

God I love that song *_* Albel theme and Crosell battle theme. Albel pwn maggots *__*

[Kaibas]

I have this song in my MP9 ^^ My favorite PS2 RPG!!!!!!!!!!! the storyline is just impressing!!!!!! I cryied when i finished the Sphere 211, and defeated The Goddes From Valhyrie Profile, Freya!!!!! This i call Epic!!!!!!!!!!!! I ll never forget this moment... Returning... I Loved this song...it plays first time in the Crossel Battle, impressing!!!!!

[Halaitsame]

Sakuraba again. Guitars again. Awesome again.

[LevantineR1]

Spam Side Kick with Berserk active.

Just about any story boss will fail to hit you; well before 4D at the very least. Free speed kill/no damage trophies right there, and that's without any IC.

I really feel the urge to finish my Universe file and get some post game trophies for 4D and more costumes now.

[chatmaster19170]

side kick,domination door! pwnd albel

[Zoten001]

Isn't it Dimension Door????

[maverickrx8]

dimension door owns all....

[darkkonan9]

how about air raid and Dimension Door?(cancel bounus)=D

[imaznfoo]

Side kick > Side Kick > Side Kick > Side Kick = WIN.

[EvilxobX64]

Shot gun.... BLAST!

I feel stronger already!

[LevantineR1]

Hell yeah.

Blade of Fury > Air Raid will always have a special place in my heart.

[thefellow3j]

@imaznfoo Side Kick...

DIMENSION DOOR!

...Side Kick...

[amari17]

@imaznfoo

i swear i thought that was my secret strategy, how the hell did you---- lol

[kirbyman100]

@imaznfoo Best Cheap Combo EVER! XD

[DataHearts]

@imaznfoo i just used divine blade and killed them XD

[lilsed3]

all i can think of is crosells huge self stop the ground and making mini earthquakes lol

[TearGrande]

This plays for Albel more often then Crosell. if you "dual" Albel in Crosell's room this plays and you can fight Albel at almost anypoint in the story after the Crosell fight.

[SeriouslyPissedOff]

I see, I haven't gotten to that point yet.

[TearGrande]

Oh, Have you fought Crosell? FYI Crosell is the name of "The Marquis" (The pronounce it "Markey". "Mar" Like mars or march and "Key" as in a key to a lock.)

[SeriouslyPissedOff]

I'm just about to fight him. I am having a lot of trouble getting his trophy that involves not taking any damage. Not to mention that elf boy from before the lava caves was a pain in the ass..

[TearGrande]

The best way to obtain the "Take no damage" BTs is to control someone fast, like Fayt, and STAY THE F*** AWAY FROM THE BOSS, while letting the AI handle it. yes your parties AI is dumber then a bag of rocks, but they can fight and kill. The Crosell one is simple, but I **THINK** it's only for the 2nd fight, which comes RIGHT after the 1st, worst comes to worst, just stay the F*** away.

[SeriouslyPissedOff]

LOL got it! Thanks for the tips :)

[TearGrande]

Welcome:D Also, most bosses, including the stupid fairy boy called Robin Wind, have a Kill in 1 minute" and a "Take no Damage against" BT, the first boss has a "Kill in 30 seconds" instead>:C Any others with different times five you more time(Final Boss, Final Form give you 5 minutes to kill it for the BT).

[SeriouslyPissedOff]

Its tough getting most of the trophies. I think I have most of the boss ones up until the point I am at but I'm still missing a lot. But I want those costumes so bad!

[TearGrande]

The game has a sound test too:D Apperently...

[remixofdestiny]

lol

[TearGrande]

i think you need like 65% of the BTs to unlock it:P Apperently... I don't have it yet (Curse you 56% for not being 65%>:C)

[josephtheomniscient]

cheap....yet effective

[Enclavefakesoldier]

I forgot what part they play this music!

[SeriouslyPissedOff]

During the fight against Croselle (The Mariquis). He is the giant dragon. Its a fuckin awesome scene.

[TearGrande]

This also plays when you fight Albel 2, Albel 3 and Albel 4, all of which are in the room with Crosell at varying points in the storyline.

[angelcupim]

1:44 on

mega cool

[DjimonMoz]

this game has some of the craziest electric guitar solos I've ever heard

*.*

[WllOwnZAll]

who eles agrees with me that this is PWNS

[Galuldan]

4 1 2 3 is order of story line i believe, unless someone can proove me wrong, haven't played 4 yet but beaten 1-3 on all difficulties on snes psp's and ps2 for SO 3 only of course

[asskicker80]

Star ocean the last hope is considerd to be 1 b/c its a prequil to all of the previous star ocean games....and i have aslo beat all of them on there hardest dififulity but thats what i believe it is becasue it is a prequil shouldnt it go it order? by all means im not saying ur wrong....but i would belive that im correct someone should look into that

[Galuldan]

i checked it and ya its 4 1 2 3, but hell this happens with games

[DriftAnime]

Man i had trouble getting into this game at first. The story was just so long. In the end i ended up giving up dispite the great music. I beat The Second Story many times, always choosing Claude for some reason. SO4 looks promising though, and i know i need to play this through again to really learn the story.

[iAreLoli]

God....So much memories Sidekick,Sidekick,Sidekick,Sid­ekick,Sidekick,

Then BAM dead in 4D some how....O.o...But I eventually bet him =D

[andregilfurt]

Ah, I love this song...

I remember putting Crosell in the dirt so fast. xD

[Zoten001]

That fight was the most fun one in the game, IMO anyway.

[Swepaat]

well duh the best thing about SO 4 is the battles and in this it was kinda the same ....man they need to get up some good plot for SO 5 whenever that comes out

[KytaEternal]

It was announced that SO4 is the last in the series; it's a prequel to all the previous games in the franchise, and is the last in the series.

[Tajem]

OH-HO A REAL FIGHT

[DiscordantRhapsody]

I need to replay this game. I miss inventing new crap.

[AngrySNESnerd]

fayt's air raid puts Crossell into the dirt :<

[Snake15000]

I used to spam that skill during ANY fight.Sadly,Luther kicked me in the nuts.

[patriemi]

the best!

[Elinvonderskog]

mm, I remember this one too :P

[memoriesofrem]

I love all Star Ocean games, so seeing them on this list makes me smile. The Last Hope being on X-box blows though

[Omryu]

lol it actually made my day. POWA TO THE BAWKS!

[Bolanos912]

i like this song :D

[Biskmatar100]

Man, I could never finish this game. It was too long, but it was still good. But the grinding...: I

[Aaron1046]

KIK ass game!!~!

[Keeryen]

I did that. The game was simple. Hoping SO4 will be more challenging.

[MirageBloodrain]

i only crafting after the maingame, before its useless and pointless, you can beat the maingame w/o crafting, but still, i dont played 4D yet (only 156/300 Battle Trophiec) :S

[Aaron1046]

did u do the side quests?

THOSE ARE CHALLENGING!

[Nisao76]

WHAT ? AN ATTACK FROM BEHIND ?!

[Omryu]

I LET MAH GUARD DOWN

[ResistanceForever]

can't wait for Star Ocean: The Last Hope only on Xbox 360 ^_^

[fianle]

It wouldn't surprise alot of people if they announced a version for the ps3 also.

[OnionMan]

There is a new Star Ocean for the PS3 announced

[fianle]

Provide a link to where you got your info please.

[GrayXIII]

Star Ocean, the Last Hope. Look at any game site like Gamespot, gametrailers, ign, etc...it's scheduled to come out Feb. 24th.

[fianle]

Says it's for the xbox360.

[GrayXIII]

my bad, i thought they meant just in general a new one in the series. not the console.

[OnionMan]

I saw a preview for it when I was at EB Games one day.

[GoldenSwordsmen]

Star Ocean 4

Last Hope

[fianle]

Especially since it was announced to be the last one in the series I think.

[LezarthValeth]

one of the best games ever :D

[gunnnerscoutkevin]

This was my all time fav battle of this game plus I just simply love Abel ^_^ and peppitta to lol hopefully there will be a remake of this game

[Nudoru]

Crosell is awesome but I had more fun fighting Albel to this song... probably just because Albel is my favourite though PLUS I just adore his English voice actor!! ^__^

[sebasdiabloo]

completely! though lacking in range and flashiness using double slash was woth it just to hear his quote.

[Morfy]

ow I did that xD, but I played on normal mode not on hard

[kbipp]

Google "Listen to Youtube"

[Morfy]

A shame the battle that comes with this song is pretty easy . . .

[kalasea34]

Motoi sakuraba is the best ;-)

[unionofonion]

this makes me wanna play this game again.

[Godlike0Insanity]

yeah sick game

[shuyin023]

I prefer the other boss battle theme which has rap on it. I think Bitter Dance is the title of that.

[menslady125]

Fayt: Ha! No problem!

Albel: Normally I don't waste my time like this!

[Dibelenx]

This is the BEST!! 3rd on my top 10 list. I really need to pick this game back up. One of the best RPGs ive ever played. Thx for uploading this.

[Flegan777]

I love you Crosell! The king of dragons! =D

[Windclaw]

Thats Bahamut, you twat!

[Flegan777]

Retard, Crosell's the king of dragon in this game. I guess that means you haven't played it. Figures.

[DemonSuke]

Bahamut = King of Dragons, yes.

Crosell= King of Dragons, yes.

They both are, , Flegan that was just mean to call him a retard >.>

[blackfireguyvermtk]

Is composer for Valkyrie Profile is also the composer for Star Ocean? I have been meaning to ask this.

[maniontim]

The battle with Crosell was the single most epic RPG moment ever. Then there was a plot twist, and, yeah. . .

[NeoTStyle]

Most songs in a game get looped like every one minute but this one is almost 3 minutes of awesomeness.

[way2tehdawn]

Duuuuuuuuude!!! Yes! You rock. This is THE best 3D rpg!!

[eldiablosrojo]

I liked SO2 more than SOTET but all of the star ocean games are fecking awesome :B

[skiath90]

DAME i need to get this game again

[TsunadeFTisland11]

And what happened to the prior?

[kenizzyny]

i want this in my game i'm making =P
