I liked how Last Hope just seemed to try and revisit as much from the past entries in the series as possible by showing, well, their past. Hearing this, and the cheery, dopey village music that played throughout SO1... magical.
I replaced the music On Valkyrie Profile 2 :Slimeria, with this, (battle) and when i went to use soul purification, i nearly sh** myself...... epic wasn't even enough to describe it. For achieve is perfect for VP2 in some way..... O.o
to me theme "for achieve" from the original SNES game sounds more battle. this doesn't mean of course new one is anyhow worse. it's all just about first impressions which are always the strongest as we know ^_^
This sounds very much like Sakuraba's style in Eternal Sonata, which also contains a great number of fantastic battle themes.
He has a peculiar way of giving the flute an unusually prominent part and having the strings carry his typical progressive rock repetitive riffs. He also tends to use low brass and basses in replacement of a drumset, accented with timpani and cymbal rolls. It's clearly rock music converted to orchestral and not exactly classical, but that gives it a distinct sound.
Very nice cover of a catchy song from a classic game =D
I've a trance mix of the theme, I tried to upload it as a video response to this one but for some reason it isn't showing up... If you'd like to hear it, it's in my channel under 'Hardbeat Acolyte - Trance'
@ReloadPsi Star ocean 3 had a lot of references. Really, it had. They were just hidden, in bookshelves, small talks or other kind of info. But you should see the references to star ocean 1, 2 and Blue Sphere
@TenchiHawkwing I played it all, even got the battle trophy for beating the last boss at level 1. I'd prefer the Star Ocean I & II good ol' button masher and 4's was pretty cool too If I wanted a strategy game I'd play Fire Emblem or FFT.
That's because 3 had... THAT plot twist. Probably my least favourite plot twist of all time. Ever. I thought it was even worse than "it was all a dream" and I never expected to say that.
No, its not the music youd expect for a battle, Blood on the keys is a good battle song, dont get me wrong, its a good song but its morre suited for overworld music.
hmmm... i see why it fits, i mean theres not much danger on roak as there is on the other planets, but still there are other parts that this could be used for, the coliseum, wen ur on the bunny and others
The only problem I have is that Squeenix USA thought it fit to spell poor Roddick's name in such a way that Beavis and Butthead would have a field day with.
"Heheh, heheh, whoa, hey Butthead! The pink-hair chick! She just said rod! Hehehehehehehe!"
Hilarious! **LOL** I could imagine it going down, though switch the dialogue around a little, but either way, I could definitely imagine it going down either way. Great job.
This battle theme music only available when you are in battle with regular enemies, which is in Planet Roak. But of course, this is an updated version of Star Ocean: First Departure battle theme music.
Maybe I should do that this weekend, I have some good headphones and I should also try it out with my surround sound at max, while the parents are out of town.
It also plays during your trip. What I mean is... You know the part where you can ride the bunny? It plays there too, but at a slower pace. When you go into battle this song plays. This song is a classic!
