Best VGM 226 - Shadow Hearts Covenant - The Fate

[SperMSoldieR103]

Up until 1:30 reminds me of the whole Electric Tears album by Buckethead.

[Abubuface]

Wow, this is very surprising. After 3 years, 30K+ views, and 20K+ subscribers...

...nobody noticed that Supra put the wrong title in the video description for this? -_-

Too distracted by the amazing music, I suppose.

[gunslingerfry]

Friggin beautiful song.

[LordMyoo]

Truly a masterpiece of a melody! 2:50 made my heart cry out in joy!

[Ghorzach]

fucking earrape woman at around 2:10

[FFXfan88]

This is one of my favorite songs from the game. So awesome.

[vanidence]

I really always loved this piece SO MUCH! The music in SH:C is so awesome. <3

[Zuckiel]

From 2:00 to 2:50, it may well be the most brilliant musical score ever created for a video game. It's just so thrilling, intense...

[Zexion678]

A truly masterful piece of music.

[maxerAA]

I'm a violin player, and I really wish there was sheet music for that epic solo.

[seraph1831]

shadow hearts is an own world

with love , hate, stories and feeling

[OldManShane]

This music is absolutely beautiful, like every other part of this game.

[Yue268]

I loved playing this series, so much suffering, good guys so desperate to change the world turn evil. I'm so glad I played it, I played mostly FF series. Is SH 3 good? I'm kinda ....skeptical after playing the demo.

[alrodri24]

@Yue268 i've just won the SH2, wich is the best one, SH3 is really good, but not as good as the 2. characters are nice, fights are awesome, funny scenes, really great, but SH2 is just perfect.

[DarkPaladin24]

kato was one sad person, i feel really bad for him

[sanrok2]

Gotta love the mad violin solo :D

[Ganall]

The song and cutscene fit together perfectly. Especially when the song picks up while Kato summons the Ark of Yamato.

[Rafaelanimes1983]

Best game and best soundtrack EVER!

[ShadowBaofu]

Now this is beautiful. I actually felt sorry for Kato here, he was a great example of an anti-villain.

I never would've imagined that he would end up the main villain in the second game, let alone reappear from the first game.

[baseballrebel08]

I'm waiting on this game to arrive in the mail (eBay); but I'm already really loving this song. The emotional outburst about 2 minutes in is incredible, especially that violin. Then that solo is very unique, particularly for VGM.

[TheRealVordox]

@baseballrebel08 Were you dissapointed or did you love it?

[baseballrebel08]

@TheRealVordox Loved it. One of the best PS2 RPGs I've played, and I've played a lot of 'em. Definitely worth the buy.

[cielshadow17]

best game I ever played! Man I love this song meant that things just got majorly serious!! great scene

[lolaalamal]

this is the best epic game i`ve ever played! it's really touching and sad and emotional ! its just so beautiful!

[Idolores]

It really is. I love Shadow Hearts series more than any other RPG for that reason.

[gridergirl]

i really like this song.

it lets you know that the time for playing is over. TIME TO GET SERIOUS!

and who would've thought that Col. Kawashima's naive subordinate from the first game would be the main villain in THIS game?!

[WiedeDaniel]

One of the most epic games of all time ... when this song came, i was just stunned ... couldn't move or think anymore, i was just stunned ... one of the greatest moments in the game!! ...

[Vordox85]

I agree.

The humour, the seriousness, the pain, the pleasure, the fun, the sad...

This game had it all, and in a very fine woven way.

:(

[WiedeDaniel]

but the success wasn't there, although it should be there ...

i just love it ...

[Vordox85]

"BUY THIS GAMEEEEE!" all over TV Promos etc etc

"Masterpieces here...Oh..ello...anyone there?"

A sad fate to games...

[sushiplaza]

This is what you can call

"COLLABORATION AT ITS FINEST"

[Chrissers88]

Truly stunning! This game is a masterpiece certainly my second favourite game of all time (no joke)

[gott957]

same here :) well, actually it's nr. 3 but it's on a level of awesomeness where it really doesn't matter anymore

[gott957]

by far the best rpg IMO. when i finished the game i was sad and i could have cried if i wanted... too bad there is no 3rd game with the same story :(

and this theme perfectly represents the sadness i felt at certain moments in the game. it's really touching

[bobbylespion]

I truly cried during hours! I'd never imagined it could end this way! so beautiful and so sad!

[EngelchenColette]

shadow hearts is so a beautiful and sad game :'(

[madamminalost]

I LOVE 2:01 It just quietly builds to there.

[darkmidna]

SupraDarky, do you play any instruments? :-)

[ShadowHeartForever]

ohh that's so beautiful and with the scene from the game it's pure amazing ^^

I love this theme

[lopytube]

the start sounds like some tv show theme.cant think

[1argeth1]

I've never played in any of Shadow Hearts but this song is great, especially intro.

[darkmidna]

OH LORD THIS IS SO GOOD! And the violin fits perfectly in!!

[drvagrant]

When did this play again?

[KayneArcheron]

I believe it was when Kato raised the Bell of Time or w/e it was called to send the entire world back into the past

[Warrior54]

All 3 Shadow Hearts games can be found on Ebay.

[karmierez]

What a great song for a great game it's defintely the best in the serias and MUCH better then the third one..... hu, hearing those songs make me wanna go back to those days I first played those games

[Boyce18]

I've played Shadow Hearts 1 and 2. Really surprised at the quality of those games. Yuri rules! I heard Mitsuda composed a couple of songs from those game, my favorite being ALICE!

This one is really nice, and I remember that song playing.

[Herskaa]

ahh shadow hearts... a massively great series. still need to play the first one

[CleverDjembe]

Chill song, I definitely hear Yamaoka influences eg. violins, guitars, rock song arrangement format and that's cool.

[gott957]

ive been searching for this game for so long

i played the first one and loved it but i couldnt find it anywhere :(

[RogerHuxley45]

This is definitely another game that I need to add to my collection, pretty much the only great RPG on the PS2 I still don't have.

[Warrior54]

Good find. Yoshitaka Hirota's amazing, he should really do more RPG's.

[JegalZero]

I knew you would choose this song. It's a very sad and emotional piece.

[SupraDarky]

An amazing song, playing during a cutscene before entering the last place. The title is very fitting, if you played the game you know why.

[Raiden29o9]

I know what you mean, probably one of the best scenes in the game up there with Amon Vs Ras

Though they all fail to stand up to the mighty MAN FESTIVAL

[azulichigo]

@SupraDarky I never played the game (or previously heard of it), but the title is a little self explanatory -_-
