Best VGM 625 - Wild Arms - Migrant Bird of the Wilderness (Rudy's Theme / Overworld)

[shrapnullify]

haha man i had this minimized on the playlist and hearing this the first thing that came to mind was "what there was a video game of the good the bad and the ugly?"

[JiuClaw22]

clint eastwood wood be proud :)

[CCTV9]

A fantasy-western with some steampunk elements...and this OST captures it perfectly. 

[kopite711]

darky my friend keep em comin this 'is' music! 

[Lunarvx22]

This doesn't sound like Ecstasy of Gold, this IS Ecstasy of Gold.

[AkimboNinjaPWN]

I have to watch the good the bad and the ugly after this...

[adam99x2004]

parts of it sounds like Metallica's Call of the Ktulu.

[kelt0888]

best music ever. This song brings back so many memories when i used to play this game many years ago. They dont make RPgs like they used to. They are all based on graphics now instead of story line. I wish i could go back to this

[GodsImmortalGauntlet]

Plagiarism.. sad to say it.. but it's true. I think this is more of a homage than a original track.

[daguerrero]

@GodsImmortalGauntlet Its a homage all the OST sound like Western-Movies

[RyodanDragonica]

@GodsImmortalGauntlet You know there's a huge difference between plagiarism and a hommage, do you?

[YinYang19]

Wow, I have even more respect for this game and the Michiko Naruke for using one of the most epic western musical scores and making a version of it for Wild Arms... I honestly never noticed it until a few years ago...

Long live Ennio Morricone!

[Gulciane]

It is a music of ennio morricone, it is not the original

[Mayakanai65]

My brother started playing this game the other day. Whenever I watched him, I would whistle along with this tune. Its such a good world map theme!

[Pvtbrex]

almost would say that it's a rendition of EoG, but it is completely different, and does have a way different feel to it. Both are excellent tracks IMO. Love the part where it climaxes with the horn. :)

[AkumaUchitoru]

I don't get how this is Rudy's theme. What about Hope or All alone in the World? :(

[eniben4]

Wild Arms soundtrack was inspired by Morricone without a doubt. He is truly one of the greatest film composers ever.

[ProBlackbird]

Now this song bring back memories

[Zantetsudex]

Holy crap the ecstasy of gold. I so need to play this one.

[pelletier1986]

hahaha I guess everyone thinks the same when hearing that song! (was about to post that it's the same as Morricone's famous track...)

[mACKs94]

I agree.

I saw the good the bad and the ugly much later than I played Wild Arms and when I heard Ecstasy of Gold, I only thought: WTF?!

[SebVettel18]

definetly a homage to Ecstasy of Gold

[nastynate3163]

The Ecstasy of Gold FTW

[Spyderguy186]

True

[SymphonyX4Ever]

Oh Man i Love this VGM... Great Supra :D

[Baghnal]

I LOVE the Wild Arms songs^^

Wish I could play WA 2 and 3 too! :(

But I only have got the first. And that one was awesome^^

[raigntk]

way to short.

i vote for a re-upload of this played through twice

[AnduinX]

@raigntk

youtube(dot)com/v/DSOvrM20tMA&­loop=1

Endless loop - enjoy.

[AnduinX]

There's no space between & and loop=1, I had to put a space there to post it. Remove the space and it'll loop endlessly :P

[raigntk]

@AnduinX doesnt work for me.

[Tyrulaan]

You probably didn't notice the "watch?v=..." is taken out and replaced with /v/. Type the the link exactly!

[BygPhattyPlus]

Yeah, the original Wild Arms had such nice music...

[eishikibahamut]

Way too similaar to ecstasy of gold it's almost shameless

[tttc]

@eishikibahamut Holy shit. Yeah. XD

[PRChingon]

I remember when I use to play this I'd just sit on the world map just to listen to this. Its obviously inspired by Ennio Morricone's music which I am also a fan of.

[dahalomastafriend]

Is it just me or does 0:08 - 0:17 have the same melody as the chorus singing in Jay-Z - Blueprint 2?

[Boyce18]

One of the best soundtracks of the PS era! With red book audio for the game, this soundtrack was incredible.

[LightFykki]

What a good choise of music. Nice on Supra!

[Krissdafish]

After hearing all these great WA tracks from this list i kind of want to try it out...

[Vestor28]

Loved this game so much, if I ever see it at a market I will straight up purchase it :D

[lolnameless]

this is sooo familiar to "ecstasy of gold"

[hagelbraker]

624 VGM's later...

[Grakesch]

yeah, like the other songs of WildArms I like this choice of yours for this List of "Best VGM".

It's a rare and almost unique soundtrack I suppose.

[Triaglon]

I wanted to play just to hear that.

[koolkillarz]

Wow it sounds so much like the Ecstasy of Gold

[broncovols]

Classic!!!

[Yoshi92]

this game series has awesome music, i will surely play it someday. :)

[Sephiko]

I've been through that whole comparison thing before.

Also, the first time I heard this was in Alter Code F.

[VGKing]

Sounds really old school. Kinda makes me want to finish half the games I'm playing so Wild Arms has a chance. Also, when are you going to post the other overworld music for this game? There were two, right?

[MauricXe]

this song is pretty gewd

[puklop]

Well I reckon...

[Stall0wnized]

instantly reminded me of the Metallica intro music at concerts ;) -> ecstasy of gold

[bregowine]

Indeed... totally inspired by Morricone's Ecstasy of Gold , but a great result though.

[XoxCheer247]

nice VGM Supra!

[tattswein]

Played this game recently, really awsome music. but the combatsystem is horrible outdated now so it wasn't really an enjoyable experience for me.

[TuxedoRay]

prob cause the game is reaching 13 years old, so thats to b expected. Well, theres always FF. :)

[Tigerphenox]

DQ is better

[GarlyleWilds]

You may want to consider trying Alter Code F instead. It's basically an updated remake of the game, using the standards created through WA2 and WA3. There's a lot of new stuff that helps the game feel even more strategic and in-depth, and it doesn't feel so old anymore, even if there's still no voice acting.

[gmrpg2]

not as good though. There isnt any equipment and the game seems less fun in general. I am for the old one 100% over that version. The music is also much better in the original, it keeps the classic feel of wild arms and takes less of a remix approach. Of course there had to be remixes on the remake though hahaha.

[GarlyleWilds]

Equipment didn't really do much in the first place, and instead you have the whole skill equipping system. And... I generally prefer ACF's music, but honestly both soundtracks are pretty awesome.

[Tyrulaan]

Never played this game - but the music is pretty awesome. :)

[Valna77]

western music owns

[TheRealVordox]

@Valna77 The very epicenter of Western Music. :P

Who hasn't heard about Good Bad and the Ugly, without actually never seen them? XD

[Valna77]

*nods*

[SupraDarky]

Ecstasy of Gold by Morricone (from the classic movie "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly") was obviously the direct inspiration for this track. :P

[FlamingRuby]

I've compared this to the real song, and I can see why.

[Senjan]

@SupraDarky Obviously. This track is extremly familiar with that one!

[Katana991]

@SupraDarky Not that it's a bad thing, right? I think this song and "ecstacy for Gold" are both excellent. :)

[awesomegamevids]

@SupraDarky I thought the same thing "Holy crap this sounds just like The Good, The Bad and The Ugly"

[jimbolimbo369]

@SupraDarky

That is exactly what I thought of the second this track started. And here I thought I was going to be all smart and talk about ennio morricone and classic movies, and everyone was going to be all impressed and comment about how smart and cultured I am, hahahaha
