[Top 100 Countdown] Hundred Best RPG Battle Themes #4 Romancing Saga Minstrel Song

[paco3ds]

sounds like circus du solei amazing song

[DarqueMinato]

39 LP? Lawl

[JudauVidan]

When I was about half way through your playlist I was thinking "I can't believe I haven't heard any romancing saga songs yet"

[UltraPenguinx3]

eww. sorry >w>..

[mayorde18]

nice music :D

[XINKAI]

i love that latin feel they put into this song.

Oh shit, i didnt know it was romancing saga!

[NarutoFanBoyie]

that voice ruined it!

[arisblaze]

@NarutoFanBoyie Or used a different voice...

[darkceo]

it has ring from cirque du solei

[4nt4r4s14ir]

Em, i think it's a kind of Flamenco, a music genre who have their beginnings in Spain, greatly influenced by the ethnic and culture of Andalucía and gitans there... So, in some way it's Spanish music. now with globalization seems that cultural differences slowly disappear...

without going afar, i'm speaking english... and i'm from Argentina...

That's the best from this theme in particular. in some way it change the concept of Battle Music.

[ArcturosMengsk]

Wauw this is sweet, I might need to buy this game!

[Isrieri]

Woah. Surprise! Most of the music on this list was all sweeping and epic-like. But this is a VERY welcome change! I can see why its up so high.

[viewtifulzfo]

Hm...

I believe this was actually composed by Kenji Ito, who composed the original Romancing SaGa's soundtrack in addition to the remake.

Tsuyoshi Sekito did guitar on some tracks, but. I can tell it's Kenji Ito mostly from the guitar - he composes with it.

Anyway, I would at least put Ito up there, just in case.

[baseballrebel08]

@viewtifulzfo I believe this song was one of the few Sekito actually composed on his own, after reading a bit on it on Square's music site. Most of what he did was arranging (as I understand it "Written Invitation to Death" was Ito's only self-arranged battle theme for MS), but I'm pretty sure this song was Sekito's own.

[finalstan]

Oh my... I was left speachless, this tune is incredible.

[bms71488]

YES YES YES i was wondering why i hadnt seen this yet! lol

[weglarz]

awesome song, is the game any good?

[runescapenerdlol]

I have this game and when I first heard this song I was like "Wow, this song is incredible." The best I've ever heard in a video game. I better check out the top 3 'cause I'm surpised this one didn't make it there.

[ArisShadows]

Asia didn't start anything, it was western culture who were the ones who pushed the RPG genre with Dungeons and Dragons.

[Ultimateum23]

Yes yes western culture can do no wrong. Ignorant dipstick.

[saezuri89]

Yup but without asia u guys would stick b stuck wit Dungeons n Dragons!!! XD

[saezuri89]

Still* lol

[Joker43ify]

then again asia started the rpg genre and WOW is for nerds god

[AkumaUchitoru]

Weird music for the game... I was wondering if this game is good. I like Final Fantasy Legend III in the series anyway, though somehow it feels like it's much different than this...

This song seems like a real-life Spanish song.

[Nedoxu]

yeah, that's why I don't like it... yet it's somehow catchy in the game itself... I'm contradicting myself, I know... but the rest of the soundtrack has nothing in common, it completely throws you off... when I first heard it, I thought it was a joke battle and ALMOST got my arse handed to me.

[Nedoxu]

It's not Spanish... I asked a bilingual friend to translate... I think it's Latin... there's a "pirate" theme that seems to be in Latin in this game..... I could be wrong of course.

[Contrarocker]

good list, but I'm surprised that not one track from Legend of Dragoon made it into the list

[supersmashdylan]

was twewy to late to be on this list?

[ameldia]

oh i like this. (also been looking for it for months xD)

[5k47h3]

This is amazing...I LOVE the Spanish theme, especially when it has such a strong drive behind it.

It really puts you in the mood if it's used the right way, like it was for this battle.

[ozzyblazer16]

You have some good songs on this

but i must say some aren't that good

and should have been replaced by others

and the countdown doesn't flow in any order

[cdoi85]

Mexican music??????? LOL

Its CLASSIC GUITAR SOUNDS mixed with latin and spanish tunes but not exactly mexicans...

PD: too much topics

[mvang01]

lol mexican music hahahaha

[polyphemus30]

Nicovideo fucking ruined this song for me.

[cfroi08]

this is better then fight to the death im ticked man

[nazra7]

Wow, Mexican music is OK but isn't my favorite genre. (I like many genres of music) But this track is one of the best I've ever heard in any RPG. I enjoyed listening to it. Wish there was more, haha.

P.S: The people look funny... :P

[GameManiac3]

This song is so fucking sexy and the guitar on this is so fucking amazing. I think I'm in love o.O

[blandia]

Spanish music!!!! Whooooop!!! Arribaaaa muchachooo!!!!

...o.o'' Sry, i got carried away, but FUCK THE WORLD,I HAVE GREEN HAIR!, i lov this composition =D

10 of 5 because it is THAT awesome. Fave!

[champions0rta]

everyone that says this game is garbage or this theme is crappy is WRONG! this battle theme goes along just perfect with the boss,minion scorn!!give the game a try and you will love it.

[OmnileoneS]

Sounds like Zero from the Belkan War.

[yuukisama2001]

Nice song. Tsuyoshi Sekito is another fav of mine. Too bad there were no BFM (Brave Fencer Musashi) battle themes on the list as it was one of his first big works.

[TagIradle]

Interesting... Sounds like an opening? [haven't played the game so I wouldn't know]

[Meria1972]

It's a boss fight w/an evil mage.

[sinsuns]

Very good choice i loved this game and the music too <3

[gabefox]

I remember the guy who said:

"fuck you this music sucks it should be #99999"

It was the funniest comment ever! lol.

But yeah, good song! =D

[GraceFuLAttk]

WHY IS THIS 4

[lazzermusen]

wtf

[Crimsonz789543]

oh god now i want this game so hard!!!!!!!! for with platform is it??

[xeroaxlvx]

PS2

[lightskinboi06]

Wow, different battle theme than what I'm used to hearing! Good pick on this one!

[Zerph21]

Whoa! I loved this!

[deadlywizard234]

good pick. I thought only the good music came out of final fantasy games until you introduced me to this list.

[lostryder]

u repeated this already..i forget where but this song is on the list twice

[mangekouitachi]

Disco baby feel it xD

[eltuzo466]

Omg!! who let the Mariachis Out!!??

[MaidenIreland]

This is brilliant!

[ElwoodWithMachinegun]

-Finally- some Romancing Saga. Still no Romancing Saga "Beat Them Up!" , or Four Nobles. This song is still bad ass.

[Skateateer]

wow I like this.. very good

for those ignorant idiotic prick-less comments dissing this

shut the fuck up and enjoy the awesomeness of it

[Zelkiiro]

This song wins hard. :O

[ruesius]

ITS OVER 9000!!

[lolliepartington]

this is gr8 !!!

[gabefox]

It is very rare. Lol.

[espio99]

Great music! Too bad saga games suck when they've got such a top notch OST

[Sigloxx]

Awesome soundtrack!

[dragonslayerEMP]

i didn't see the ff7 boss theme anywhere =[

[TheTrendSetter89]

that's because it's not a good composition by comparison

[dbkai75]

@TheTrendSetter89 IT IS YOUR TOP so I guess you have right to say FF7 bodd theme is not a good composition by comparison..

But still, it miss so much ost from Romancing saga 3 and Saga frontier. I guess you did'nt listen them enough(or played them..) I just look for 60 of your 100's ost, but I am pretty much sure I will not find some of the best Romancing Saga battle theme(4 nobles, Last battle from RS3, Battle 3, 4, Last battle coon.. from Saga Frontier..)

Anyway, still a good list..

[gabefox]

it´s like 49th or something. Still, most of the songs you hear after that are actually better. This is the poster´s selection though.

I still think that all these songs are great!

This song is so 80s. Lol =D

[keyblademaker]

wow only 3 more to go, the anticipation is killing me, i liked the top 10 so far, i wonder if the last 3 will be in comparison to their rankings
