Xenogears OST - Knight of Fire ~ Boss Battle Theme

[cobbil]

I hate to say it, people. But a remake will NEVER happen. Monolith Soft, the company that made Xenogears left Square mostly because of how they were treated by Square. So Square doesn't have enough rights to remake nor do Monolith Soft. So this amazing game is going to sit in limbo.

[decapattack]

For me, the best RPG of al time. Its hard to choose one best game and, of course the choice comes biased with psychological impressions that made difference for me. I really love Grandia, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Skies of Arcadia and FFXII (yes, althoug the characters arent charismatic the world and the game was incredibly fun - and the music is excellent) but, the rpg that make me feel and think more than all the others was Xenogears.

[nrehc83]

xenogears , xenosaga and xenoblade ,those 3 xeno games are all incomplete game...

with xenosaga being the worst of it

[mregasi]

@nrehc83 I wich ways do you mean?

[xaqua93x]

Finally beat Xenogears. Such an amazing, fantastic, crazy game. While I didn't hate disc 2, I will agree that it wasn't as good as disc one, but it did end on a high note and the final boss was really cool and the ending was really good too. I'm almost sad that I'll never get to experience this game for the first time again =(

[Canute87]

Come on square. Remake this game. Save Disk 2!!!!!

[Pandagod1990]

One of the best boss themes ever.

[xaqua93x]

playing through this game right now for the first time and im at the sewers looking for the murderer. Seriously even if it's an old game, it's still amazing and the graphics aren't outdated either.

[SilentForceX]

@xaqua93x Enjoy it while it lasts...due to budget cuts, the second disk took a huge hit =\

[rpgrocker01]

@SilentForceX Some might say that's the best part of the game. Really, the second disc is unlike anything else in a video game. I'll agree though. I would've liked to have explored another dungeon or two... but the soul of this game is in its narrative, and it really comes out on the second disc.

[SilentForceX]

@rpgrocker01 I haven't met a single person who said disc 2 was the best part of the game. Xenogears' strength was letting you LIVE the story as it happened, being in the shoes of the characters when plot events happened. The soul of the game is the narrative, and the best way to express it is to let the player experience it. The second disk just spoonfeeds you everything in a montage. I wish they'd remake this and give the second disk a better chance.

[LukeFFabre]

@SilentForceX It's all opinion, really. I've met several that thought disk 2 was the best part. Personally, I think both are equal in their style given.

[AxelXGabriel]

@LukeFFabre And what if Disk Two was given jsut as much time and effort as Disk 1 got? If we were offered that, would we want the original Disk 2 back? I sure as hell wouldn't.

[LukeFFabre]

@AxelXGabriel I'd like the option between both.  So nice~

[ltrizzle84]

@SilentForceX Well said

[Cosuin]

@SilentForceX It was contrived and must have resulted from some kind of misplanning of the budget.

[SilentForceX]

@Cosuin It wasn't misplanning of the budget. Xenogears was in development at around the same time Final Fantasy VIII was, and considering FF's established brand name vs a brand new one...they just siphoned all the cash from Xenogears and gave it to FFVIII.

[S1rWakka]

@SilentForceX I have mixed feelings. In Disc 1 the MANY and tedious random battles felt as a disruption and I just wanted them to get on with the story. Disc 2 made up for that, but too much. Here there was no time to process the new information and the lack of visuals made it even more difficult to store it in my memory. It's like a college professor who keeps talking for 2 hours without allowing breaks or interruption.

[SilentForceX]

@S1rWakka Eh, I don't really hold the random encounters against it (except for the jumping bug. Babel tower anyone?) since it's a pretty standard RPG. Heck, it helped lower the time needed to grind deathblows.

[S1rWakka]

@SilentForceX I remember that the battles didn't bother me as much when I first played the game in the 90s. Guess I've gotten more impatient since then...

[tallwhiteninja]

@rpgrocker01 Games are still an interactive medium, though, and disc 2 took out a pretty good deal of the interaction. I'd like to explore the dungeon, rather than be told "hey, your party did this."

Anyway, I badly need to replay this game; it's been years.

[xaqua93x]

@SilentForceX Wow, I just started disc two and I see what you mean by budget cuts. Most of the story telling is done through narratives instead of me getting to actually play through it. It's kind of annoying to tell the truth considering I haven't even gotten to play with emeralda yet....

[SilentForceX]

@xaqua93x I hope you didn't get too attached to the world map, you won't be seeing it for quite some time...

[Hellblazer311]

I am a local MMA fighter and I chose this as my entrance music for a fight. Nobody knew what it was but it was awesome walking into the cage. I lost though :(

[Samperor]

@Hellblazer311 Atleast you try. Losing make you long from your mistake and fight harder. Don't give up!

[Kingzylo]

This sounds so much like FF tactics battle theme.

[Newblish]

"Dont have sex in front gas chamber"

[IcedAtMOsPHEAR]

"Don't let xenosaga go on the PS2" Is what i'm hearing. Just my 2 cents. Anybody else hearing that? In game-marketing for a future game maybe? Need to play xenosaga, shame they only released epsode 2 in the U.K. Cots too damn much to import a NTSC PS2 :(

[ExoditeDragon]

@IcedAtMOsPHEAR You're not missing anything special in the other Xenosaga episodes. They were barely worth the cost in USD.

[DO4M]

All I'm hearing is the numbers 00417 in Spanish... Zero Zero Cuatro Diecisiete

[jrpair77]

Lol

[ECHOzeroooo]

lolz!

[hotdoggy854]

Don't have sex in front of the gas chamber!



[GodzillaDeuce]

@hotdoggy854 fuuuuuuuuuck you just ruined this song for me :'(

[suicidenike23]

is he saying "thomas 6 there is a problem with a gas can"

[Musclespam413]

Square was really good back then, and the same thing with rareware

[Bushido21XX]

God, this music still makes my hairs stand on end. You can't play XG at length without feeling like you're in the presence of the masterpiece.

[KiteNamikaze]

Having sex in a poison gas chamber.

[gokuless]

I MISS SQUARESOFT!

[neilshh]

FANG,FANG, FOOOOOOONG. HURYAAAAAAAH. - When Fei uses a deathblow.

[andy56duky]

@neilshh Total damage 1798

[charlyk79]

que recuerdos con este tema y el maravilloso xenogears, aguante id.

[realworksuks]

I thought it was saying something about calling someone to a certain chamber. Double O six come to the gas chamber.

[milkmanface13]

it sounds like hes saying "total sex going AFK"

[Taranis501]

I thought it was "Twenty cents should go in the gas can."

[HarlemzAmp]

ff7 n xeno go hand n hand im jus sayn

[sininetigu]

i heard: ,,total sex in cola gascan''

[densuo]

0:42 My favorite, just because of this little break.

[MzBUZZKILINGTON]

I play this song in my head when I'm walking to class sometimes. It makes me feel important:)

[kragoon]

Don't Have sex in front of the gas chamber,

Don't Have sex in front of the gas chamber,

Don't Have sex in front of the gas chamber,

Don't Have sex in front of the gas chamber....

[MrDeathnotefan98]

to all those hopeful of another REAL xenogears sequel, its never going to happen unfortunately

[velvelification]

@MrDeathnotefan98 Don't need a sequel.. if there is gonna be, I bet its gonna be short because of limited space anyway

[MrDeathnotefan98]

@velvelification space? it may be shorter then the old one, but really, space isnt an issue, most of the game fitted on one ps1 disc anyway, so they could make it longer, and i wouldent care if they had to use multible discs for it

[velvelification]

@MrDeathnotefan98 ah yes you're right...

but if they really make it i hope it'll be long.... don;t mind the multiple discs... lol it'll never happen xD

[MrDeathnotefan98]

@velvelification yeah, it wont, cus they guy who made it left sqaure and used funds from namco to make another company that made the xenosaga games

[ultris07]

@MrDeathnotefan98 So has anyone figured out if Xenosaga is related to Xenogears yet.

If so is it a Prequel(highly doubt) or Sequel(most likely).

[MrDeathnotefan98]

@ultris07 xenosaga has nothing to do with xenogears, but it was created by the same guy, they do have have a bonus fight with weltall id though, even though he looks nothing like the original but the colour....

[110437]

@ultris07 From what i remember Saga and Gears were intended to be the 2nd and 5th respectively in a series of 6, it was derailed when much of the dev team was replaced much of their work ending with disc 1 in saga 2 from then its mostly the new teams script. Before then were a few links like the zohars, wave existance,possibly young abel and anima vessels. By 3 most links are either fanservice like weltall-id or intended bridges leftover from the original script that seem to be burned in 3s end

[ultris07]

@110437 My main concern for Gears is that they took the dive for FF7 instead of finishing it. To me that proves companies don't take risks which pisses me off I mean finishing a game only 2-3yrs in the making instead of one 8yr in the making dud serious lose of respect right there

[deadpisser88]

@MrDeathnotefan98 So goddamn depressing...

[dissident93]

I hear "Total Section, Total Gascan". hahaha

[Ratonga]

Square died when it merged with Enix.

[MrDeathnotefan98]

@Ratonga i personally dont think its enix's fault though, as both companys made great games, it should work when you think about it, but many of the old devs and such left, not to mention the game industry its self has also impacted standards.

[Kirbyluver2]

@Ratonga

because when two good RPG making companies combine they suddenly become bad. Kingdom hearts is one of the worst series ever released.

[Bulbaboy]

@Ratonga People say that all the time, but it confuses me because Enix made great games before they merged with Square.

I can only assume they killed each other.

[Ratonga]

@Bulbaboy Oh don't get me wrong, I loved Enix too.  They did indeed kill each other.

[locke103]

no sex in front of the gas chamber

[andy56duky]

i think i hear it correctly

"total sentence to the deadly gas chamber" is what im hearing

[HakoneDrift]

Dont spit in front of the gas chamber?

[Ketsui]

A wrinkle in time.

[MSAnemanja2]

i keep hearing total section total PSP 

[Kyaru4]

Anything square-enix makes is amazing. eg starocean.

ps. squaresoft merged with enix. Thats why its square-enix. Just sayin..

[Warriorkiller666]

@Kyaru4 SE didn'T make Star Ocean, Tri-Ace did. Just sayin..

[coldReactive]

@Warriorkiller666 Yeah, SE just published it.

[Warriorkiller666]

@coldReactive I know ;)

[MSAnemanja2]

Sqare rly has balls puting some 1 else but not Nobue Uematsu he is rly good at composing music but hey this ain't bad at all but still.... Nobue (he composed music for every final fantasy game and they all have great sound tracks example FFVII )

[GreilMercenaries]

@MSAnemanja2 Clearly, you have a little brain. Square doesn't "have balls" to put someone else as a composer. Yasunori Mitsuda is actually very well renowned for doing the soundtrack to the Chrono games, as well as this. It's all about personal taste. I prefer Mitsuda personally.

[krzyflipx]

@GreilMercenaries Damn right, MITSUDA ALLLL DAY!!!!!! My favorite composer by far, no disrespect to uematsu he's a favorite as well but there's something about Mitsuda that just is unexplainable. He is truly a genius.

[gcwtf088mz]

Todosix en fotogasque?

Total six and funnel gasket?? .... anyways this theme owns!!

[pingpongman6543]

Total Sentient Mode is Capable is what he legitimately is saying in the song

[pingpongman6543]

Total Six in the Vatican

Total Six in the Vatican

Total Six in the Vatican

Thats what Im hearing in the song lol

[wildgene24]

HA HM HA HA SUA! HA HYAA!

[pingpongman6543]

but seriously what is that guy saying in the song @0:45

[Aymblm]

Oh god, this is named so much like that one "Night of Fire" para-para.

And I thought I was done with that one guy in underwear.

[Solvanderlyn]

Always reminds me of Ramsus.

[gamester512]

@Solvanderlyn Oddly enough this reminds me of the Boss Battle when Fei tries fighting that giant dinosaur-thing with his bare hands to protect Elly before Citan arrives and delivers Weltall and Fei then proceeds to beat the holy hell out of the thing. :D

[pcamp1988]

"Xenosaga on the ps2, Xenosaga on the ps2"

FORESHADOWING

[inarisarp]

lol you guys, the song doesn't say anything, the composer himself confirmed that its just coined(gibberish) words

[crash22spyro]

@inarisarp

Stop Killing our fun.....

[EvaChrono]

@inarisarp We know but we like pretending it says something. It makes it that much fun ;)

[zeonfollower]

Mecha RPG greatest hits!

[Warriorkiller666]

Total sex in front of the PS2 maybe too lol

[yushimazu]

seriously, it really says that  ^^

[Zentesukien]

It says

Xenosaga for the PS2..

Xenosaga for the PS2

[Warriorkiller666]

lol it sound like that!

[davedetrick]

Having sex in the poison gas chamber...

Having sex in the poison gas chamber

That's what I think he keeps saying in this particular piece of music.

[3dwardXP]

@davedetrick

lol i hear it too

[Super0757]

@davedetrick Damn!! your right!!

[hitokirimasamun]

@davedetrick null sheczen funfundviezig

[crash22spyro]

@davedetrick

Yeah, you're right!

[Crazetex]

@davedetrick Love Gas Chamber.

[Thatblack1]

@davedetrick Thanks for that...that is all I hear now.

[Hyper131]

@davedetrick lmao, i was thinking 'maybe he was talking about the beat till i heard 0:45 XD .

[Shinonoiru]

@davedetrick LOL, you are just crazy!!! but with imagination you can be right! you should make some missheard videos!!

[davedetrick]

@Shinonoiru

Hmm... that might be fun.

I just wonder... if they flip the switch while you're in there... and flood the gas...

Will you live long enough to enjoy it?

[Shinonoiru]

@davedetrick i don't think so!

[MrRedneckSuperstar]

@davedetrick When I was young playing this game I used to think it said "Oral sex and Final Fantasy"

[davedetrick]

@MrRedneckSuperstar

Hmm... Talk about something nerds would dream about...

lol!

[HakoneDrift]

@MrRedneckSuperstar Oral sex and Final Fantasy are two good things put together!

[TheDeatharcana]

@MrRedneckSuperstar LMFAO I totally just heard that xD

[Sol4688]

@davedetrick

Whoa. You just wrinkled my brain.

[RadicalDreamer17]

@davedetrick

Sex in the gas chamber... ? Why does this remind me of FF7 (Xeno and FF7 referenced each others in some funny ways so).

[ultris07]

@RadicalDreamer17 I think it sounds more like

Dual sensors part of the music eh

Dual sensors part of the music eh

[ultris07]

@RadicalDreamer17 plus they didn't have any reference between each other. It more so had a connection to Chrono Trigger (Lucca being the first character you see from CT)

[RadicalDreamer17]

@ultris07

I don't understand... You think FF7 and Xeno don't reference each other ? When Cloud is in a coma, he's saying stuff about Xenogears... and Gears has a poster of Tifa in Solaris (and Kato wrote stuff for both Gears and FF7).

Of course, I don't think this song REALLY referenced the gas chamber stuff in Junon... but it just made me think about it, that's all.

Of course, the Trigger references were even more obvious.

[ultris07]

@RadicalDreamer17 It never had any referenced gears I've played FF7 and own it and no where in the game does it reference gears

[RadicalDreamer17]

@ultris07

Well, it does reference Gears. You don't believe me, search for the "FF7 PC - Cloud's babbling" video here on Youtube.

Or play FF7 again.

[MurakamiTenshi]

@RadicalDreamer17 I totally remember seeing Cloud's insanity babbling in my playthrough of FF7 way back when. At first I had no clue why he was saying "Xenogias...is coming" but a year later I get my hands on Xenogears and it hits me that Square was advertising the game in another game :)

[Harkz0r]

@MurakamiTenshi It's 14 years since I first played FFVII and I've only just spotted that reference now, thanks to you making me aware of it... thanks! CLOSURE! D:

[mingiasi]

@RadicalDreamer17 I concur. I was mindblown when Cloud went ,.. xeno ... gias...

[afficial83]

amazing

[shazanter]

This song has so much Final Fantasy Tactics in it... and of course it's just AWESOME!

[DrolKeegEht]

@shazanter PSSSSSST SQUARE MADE XENOGEARS.

JUST SAYIN.

/captainobviousmoment

[dissident93]

@shazanter Actually, it just hit me that this does sound like Hitoshi Sakimoto, thanks dude. haha
