[Top 100 Countdown] Hundred Best RPG Battle Themes #71 Star Ocean 3

[alkarioma]

why is this game so damn hard! ugh!

[InhumanBeatdown]

Ahhh the memories... Spent nearly 300 hours on this game. Still could not beat Freya on 4D though =/. The goal I'll never achieve in my life...

[shiroineko13]

Lovely~ Maria~

[armyofshadows]

This one is freaking addictive.

[L1ghtn1ngPwn4g3]

Man, this game PWNS lol. I was so excited when i finally beat it (i stopped in first level cuz i got stuck, couple levels later, but winning made it all worth it) :D

[XxBeatexX]

SO3 i sthe one i prefer of the serie exept for this battle thame , just worring theme

[L0neWoIfXIII]

For some reason, this theme reminds me of Baten Kaitos...

[kleptokitteh]

i never got into this star ocean is was good but wasn't much of a fan of it. i played the 1st and 2nd star ocean on the psp and TLH on the 360 for some reason i love TLH because they went back to the older areas from the first and second one and also the character designs i guess but this one was well, i liked it but i hated the beginning find the pass code on the walls XP ugh drove me nuts

[SolMrBadGuy]

This should have been at the top :O

in my opinion all of Motoi Sakubura's should have been at the top, but this is your list . Great list by the way!

[imsingingintheshower]

sounds almost identical to Golden Sun!

WTF!?! who composed this?

all i have to say is either the composer sin't very creative, or he needs to get his own music.

[LaLaHorizon]

The composer is the same as the composer for the music of Golden Sun and Tales of Symphonia

[asuma78]

@imsingingintheshower It's the same composer

[policegking]

Sounds like a Remix of Tales of Symphonia and Golden Sun. I never played the Star Ocean Series, but I have to say, the music is pretty cool!^^

[twistomaniac]

It gets so ridiculous in that one temple with the rolling 3-d octogon things. haha

[Baumaud]

one of the best rpgs ever made. period.

[remixofdestiny]

HELL YEAH This is my first Star Ocean game and I totally fell in love with it

[Pr0udDragon]

Motoi Sakuraba definitely has a music style of his own. This song is just as awesome as any of his others, even if it does have a similar sound to Felix's Battle Theme (Golden Sun: The Lost Age) or The True Mirror (Baten Kaitos). Thanks for uploading this!

5 Stars ;)

[ameldia]

this was a great rpg.

[angeliclayerfan]

what is the theme in the cutscene before the battle with luther starts

[chatmaster19170]

lmao! when this starts side kick,domination door!

side kick,domination door!,side kick,domination door!

[ShippoK]

Best RPG game ever (But thats what I think). Great theme song to, made looking through all the items I had more exciting. Idle team, Fayt, Roger and Nel/Mirage.

[Nogren]

Welp, time to go kick gods ass again...

[TearGrande]

And this playing while you do so:P

"Scatter Beam, Scatter Beam, Dust-to-Dust*Scatter Beam*, Scatter Beam. Magnetic Feild, Your Better Off Dead Now*Energy Burst*"

Maria is so awesome her beuaty is broken:D

[takerukari]

*laughs* thats is so true with all the shouting while this battle them goes on.

[bakahaseo]

OMG I THOUGH I WAS SO ORIGINAL LOL.

[TearGrande]

:D Which form are you Mr. Terror of death XD I have .Hack G.U Volume 1 and 2, beat the God Eater, and you are NOT a baka:D

[beastman93FZero]

It sounds almost exactly like Tales of Symphonia's battle theme to me.

[bravefencermushashi]

lol me too

[Xiaounlimited]

Same composer

[haroro22]

Sounds very familiar to most of Motoi Sakuraba's games (see: Eternal Sonata and Baten Kaitos.)

[dannysimion]

Star Ocean...a captivating game on one side with one of the most irritating battle systems I played....frustrating and yet it had a good battle theme BGM to balance it back to good favors.

[Syethatkilla]

I know this music, and I haven't played SO3.. I think they may have a very similar track in SO4.

[lunchboxboy]

omg..i got so sick of this music. it's not that good...reminds me of sonic or something...

[Rabyte]

LOL the moment the track started playing I knew it was composed by the same guy responsible for the Baten Kaitos music. Great style :)

[EscapeTheFateEthan]

Fayt , Cliff, and Albel >~>;; POWERHOUSE..just get Fayt to learn the healing arts and there you go

[Imuzaki91]

I gave always albel healing.

he is not so slow like fayt ;P

[EscapeTheFateEthan]

haha i did that too, it works well. but usually i play as Albel xD

[EddyGein]

Fayt, Cliff, Maria.

Maria with a super-powered gun could own anything. I remember getting the no damage trophy from the final boss with her.

[MediaUser]

the dub was so terrible it really ruined this game

[juicemastur]

fayt,rodger,and i forget who else

rodger was awesome

[Danomaru]

My team was Roger, Peppita, and Sophia or Adray. AND THEY OWND EVERYTHING THAT MOVED.

[Bramude]

nice song to choose

[smasher502]

my team was always fayt, maria, and albel

[Zelkiiro]

My team was Fayt, Sophia, and Peppita.

...What?!

[smasher502]

well mines better xD

[timonczesq]

Mine was the main character, the blonde-haired guy, and the red-haired chick. What were their names?

[smasher502]

Fayt, Cliff, and Nel lol

[timonczesq]

Oh, yeah - that's right ^^' Thanks :-)

[smasher502]

xD your welcome lol

[GuhBukSan]

what what

[MirageBloodrain]

Fayt,Albel,Roger :D

they rocked all over the place :D

[Bolanos912]

Fayt, Clif,Nel or Fayt,Clif,Maria or Fayt Clif and Albel :D

[TODhaseo]

SHOTGUN BLAST!

[Zelkiiro]

I preferred Air Raid. >_>

[UkeUkeMakinLove]

Same Motoi, Same Style, Same Instruments XD

Tales For The BLOODY WIN!

Everyone, Try playing Tales Of The Abyss, It's my favorite game of all times.

[Nilieus]

they discontinued tales of the abyss i cant find it anywhere DDDDDX...

[UkeUkeMakinLove]

Online shopping sites

[sephiroth068]

hmm the beginning of this song sounds vaguely similar to that of Golden Sun 1's battle theme

[Keeryen]

Excellent choice!

[grm88]

looking at the screenshot in the video... Fayt looks like he has down syndrome D=

[EvilJamJar]

Omfg... I got stuck in that maze place! OMFG I COULDN'T FIND THE DOOR! So I stopped... sigh...

[xEeveeilx]

Yes!! I love this song!! ^o^

I miss this game so much...

[SkoomaADDICT]

People cry because they think Motoi's music all sounds the same.

Id like to see them make these songs.

Each one suits each game and has completely different keys.

He uses the same style for Tales games and a different style for Star Ocean, Valkyrie and Baten Kaitos themes.

Hail Sakuraba!!!!!!!!

[bohemianjoe]

Shame this game sucks. I had a much better game in my head before I bought this crap. Skies of Arcadia with space ships. Holy shit I'm gonna write this down!

[silverbird6]

real lack of pics, the game had WAY more action than this

rating is ok but i would've expected a differnt battle theme than the one used in the video.

[F4talZephyr]

This song should be so much higher on the list...

[Lonusuke]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang...i <3 this theme...too sick  XD

[Zadok83]

One of the best RPGs ever!

[kwazistar]

I totally forgot how this song sounded like. Now that I heard of it, it reminds me of Golden Sun music @_@

[tomenaki]

One of my favorite Sakuraba battle themes. My only issue is that they all begin to sound the same after a while lol. Nice choice.

[SusakeKes]

Motoi Sakuraba ROCKS!

[gunswordvan]

Love this theme and the game!

Super Blaire and Lenneth are very evil though! .\__/.

[Gehn5]

Motoi Sakuraba is a busy fellow...

[magicaltails]

by far one of the best battle themes of any rpg game great job with the rank the game itself however was rediculously long and difficult omg it took me 2 months to complete D=

[kitethefallenangel]

Let me ask: Which is better in terms of storyline? Star Ocean 3 or Rogue Galaxy?

[PKUltimaga]

SO3...defenitly

[strawhead278]

Easily Star Ocean 3. Rouge Galaxy's ending is crap where the story it SO3 is brilliant

[FinSepi]

I gotta say what I think about this Theme: IT CONTAINS EVERYTHING WHAT MUSIC HAS TO HAVE IN BATTLE. Well, that's my opinion and I love this song <3

[grandmasattack]

This song sounds like a cross between Baten Kaitos battle theme and Golden Sun boss theme. Great song. I can't wait to try the game.

[DratVanity]

I can really hear the Baten Kaitos theme in it!

[grandmasattack]

Can you hear the Golden Sun in it too? Around the 25 second mark it sounds similar to the Boss theme. More like the Super Smash Bros Brawl version though.

[Sieg999]

Well, that's Sakuraba's style.

It'll never get old :3

[shuyin131]

SO4 battle theme is complete crap compared to this one

[PKUltimaga]

Their both Awesome!!! >=( and thats that

[Superduck779]

My brother originally bought this game, but I liked it much better than he did so I'm pretty far in it, farther than he ever did. I like pretty much everything about this game, but I wish they allowed 4 people in the party at a time. Anyways, awesome game and music.

[EternalShadowheart]

This battle theme was so awesome, and i loved Star Ocean 3 so much, so happy SO4 is comming to xbox 360 =).

woot 1st comment

[lordofdaedra]

I know :-) they completely bitched Sony with that move, and with bringing FFXIII to 360, too.

[XTheGuvX]

Bah, fine, put SO4 on 360, I need one of those things anyway despite the insanely high temperature of my room. That being said though, I hope SE and Tri-Ace has a soul and are willing to treat the people that bought a PS3 and would rather NOT buy a 360 with SO4. And I personally believe they would be retarded not to do so, but I could be wrong, but due to my increasingly smaller count, I will not bother going into details on why I feel like it would be idiotic for them to not release it to PS3

[Xiaoven]

Well, The Last Remnant is coming out on PS3 sometime in 2009.
