  • My reaction to this before playing the games:

    Meh, I've heard sadder.

    My reaction to this after playing the games:

    ;_;

  • 3:10 best part <3333 i loved this game so much.. it was sad at the same time but i still loved it <3 its sad how kosmos always got hit trying to protect shion.. how shion has a sad life..

  • i want to get this game. All three of them

  • What makes this song great? SPOILERS**

    80%+ of the universe's population dies, and so did 3 of your allies and we are left with one more task to save the universe before its end........ sadly this is were it all ends and we'll never know Xenosaga's intended finale. =(

  • @pallafox I still believe in Xenosaga IV. I have to.

  • @CidGuerreiro1234 agree the story was not done yet i hope so that they keep the last part with a good ending and i think last part that kos mos is not death yet

    she was floating in space to a planet and shion looks for earth its for me not a real good ending we only can pray and hope they finest it

  • @CidGuerreiro1234 i would like to but namko doesn't acknowledge it as one of their games anymore

  • There are songs much sadder than this one. Even on the opening (Ican't stand sad openings *SHUT IT OFF!!* XD). I see this one more like calm than sad. Like...bittersweet...I guess?

  • Where is Mother 1,2 or 3?

  • I loved KOSMOS' English voice for this one. I thought the actress that voiced her did a good job. Sure, one might say, "well, she voiced a robot...not hard to sound robotic..." But still! I felt she did a good job!

    Plus, I liked how the characters came out in this one. They looked their worst in part 2, in my opinion. xD

  • Kosmos' never ending hotness made me have umpteen million boners.

  • You missed forever rachel

    =/

  • I just broke up with my girlfriend a couple hours ago. Although I never played the game, this song helps me remember the good times we had.

  • It's certainly a melancholy song. I love all the versions of Hepatica, but there's something beautifully redeeming in this song. So although I might consider it a candidate for most beautiful song of all time, I can't help but smile through the tears this song brings. It's a song of sadness and hope (to me), which are maybe perfect opposites, so I can't think of this song as the saddest of all time. :)

  • No Aeris theme? =(

  • @triguntrigun What happens to cause this song is way more sadder than Aeris, and far more deeper.

  • I love Mitsuda sound!

  • @lunafairy07

    Xenosaga Episode II and III are composed by Yuki Kajiura, not Mitsuda.

  • @Xijn

    Sorry,I was wrong.

  • iv heard sadder songs than that.

  • AH this song is so amazing <3

  • somewho at 3:06 - 3:11 sound like a song from soulcalibur

  • T-T XENOSAGA!!!!! WHY? -_-

  • Damn it still pisses me off to this day I haven't been able to find Xenosaga II and III :/

  • @Jason9811 try amazon. You'll be amazed at the shit you can find.

  • Great.. now I want to play Xenosaga..

  • Great.. now I want to play Xenosaga?

  • i really wish Xenosaga was released in australia...(my trilogy game somehow broke and i can't play them again TT-TT)

    it's still one of the best games i've played...

  • This is such an amazing and sad game all at once. I really wish the creators would have extended the game to its original 6, but sadly, they ended with 3.

    Xenosaga is definately second to the most amazing games I've played and I have it ranked as my top favorite video game of all time. (Right behind my number one, Square Enix :D )

  • It's even more sad for me since I know what happens in this scene of the game. </3

  • Excuse me, but I think that THE SADDEST song in the RPG is:

    "Be Absentimed" in Tales of Phantasia. Trust me, the saddest theme you'll find.

  • Man i can not find that song, where can it?

  • @BAL00s Find a Xenosaga OST torrent. Or try Bluelaguna. You can download RPG soundtracks there. Id first find a torrent, BL is as bit tedious.

  • @shadowbender thx

  • Excuse me, but I think THE SADDEST theme in the RPG story is "Be Absentimed" played in the game "Tales of Phantasia", the first 'Tales of'.

    Sounds a little old but the theme it's so fucking sad...

  • FFX - To Zanarkand

    FFXI - Memoro de la Stono

    Where are these? :/

  • @nicknicksiren

    to zanarkand is really sad xD thats why i love it :) and the game

  • @nicknicksiren To Zanarkand is a good theme, and has emotion in it, but Kokoro from XS1 is much more full of emotion, and Pain from XS1 as well, even more emotion. Don't get me wrong, Nobuo is still my favorite composer for VG music, but Yuki Kajura is a close close second, and with XS and .hack under her belt... you can't deny her brilliance

  • Jin :(

  • I wish this game was out in England... as well as the first, we only have to second game over here... how does that make sense again?

  • @AVALANCHEMAD really? talk about getting the short end of the stick...

  • @AVALANCHEMAD I had no idea the UK got screwed over like that. =(

  • @AVALANCHEMAD And the second game was probably the worst of the three.

  • @AVALANCHEMAD Marketing...

  • @AVALANCHEMAD The second game including the DVD to the first. I'm glad we got the second game. It sold poorly here. Imagine if that happened with the first! No Albedo, Nigredo and Rubedo storyline! Count what you have xP

  • @AVALANCHEMAD You guys got the worst of the 3. =(

  • @AVALANCHEMAD You could always order the American version online? Ebay perhaps?

  • @TheSecretLight Will not work on my ps2 in England, something about region locking on the system to prevent that.

  • @AVALANCHEMAD Whhhhhhhaaaaa? That's ridiculous.. o__O; Maybe it's because it's so bloody or religiously questionable I guess... I mean not a lot of Christians liked the fact that Kos Mos was called the partner of the Messiah Yeshua. I found it a but shocking myself but I didn't see it putting down the religion in question I mean Jesus was one of the good guys. Oh well. Lol. I think people don't like the idea of Jesus being a person with a wife of his own. Lol.

  • @AVALANCHEMAD I feel your pain, fellow UK resident.

  • I have to say that Pain from Xenosaga 1 should have made top 10 because it was freaking sad the first time when you think you're gonna lose KOS-MOS. Before there was a XS2 with her on the cover and all of course.

  • I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-3

  • KOS MOS: Goodnight. I cried so hard that I woke up with a cold the next morning.

  • There are only 2 songs that have ever made me cry, the ending them to "Folklore" and then this one, which made me cry like a little baby! That may also be cause Jin was my favorite character ever... but yeah. As a side note, Xenosaga III is also the first game to ever make me cry, ever! XD

  • Whoever disliked this, has no soul.

  • @NachoVPMusic damn gingers

  • Epic 

  • Fail, even Inori - REQUIEM from Trinity blood is sadder than this. On my scale of ten it rank at a low 2-3. And I have songs that rank as high as 7-8 in my cycling playlist...

  • Sorry, but this list is a fail without FFX.

  • Guys, and life is a life. Leave the dead alone regardless of what life span it has and enjoy the music of this wonderful game!(IMO)

  • ok, but where is Valkyrie Profile - Behave Irrationally theme ?

  • @megaten84

    ... and ff7 The Great Warrior ? (seto)

  • I do not see Farewell to Sue on this list. Your chart is rendered void.

  • I DON'T KNOW ABOUT HAMSTERS, BUT MY BELOVED PURVIS (my pet rat) DIED IN AN UNFORTUNATE ESCAPE ATTEMPT. 12 YEAR OLD ME WAS EPIC SAD, AND THIS AMAZING MUSIC WOULD HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATE FOR THE BURIAL. STOP GIVING @Riaquaza CRAP ABOUT THE HAMSTER. THANK YOU.

  • Hamster doesn't deserve this song.

  • The only game that had me tearing up. Holy shit I will jizz and burst into tears of joy if an episode 4 is ever announced D:

  • I've never played this game ,but this is a really beautifully emotional piece.

  • Oh! This music + Jin Uzuki scene at the end of X3 = Massive tear-jerker. :)

  • 11 people have no heart, and no soul...And therefore were killed along with Jin :(

  • @UltimateTibu Or maybe there are 11 dislikes because the game was spoiled for them when they were reading the comments.

    Poor saps.

  • @dontknow511  <_< either way you're gonna find out what happens to him just by watching this so does it really matter? ._.

  • It feels like a person is quite arrogant when he complains about hamster, while many people are dying every day during to not being able to eat. Even though I do understand the pain of loosing a pet, surely, you should keep such info to facebook, etc.

    Anyhow, I would agree that this piece of music is quite good, better than the rest, but it's not sad. I feel a lot of hope in this piece, rather than sadness - it might just be me though. Haha :D

  • @marland00 Keep such info to facebook? This is Youtube, not exactly a church.

  • I would tell any one go download or buys this soundtrack & unrelease tracks.

  • the name of this music [hepatica # 3 Blieve in you] truely great. it touches you where it maters

  • This is a beautiful piece. I'm at a loss find words to properly describe.

  • I heard Xenosaga VI will not come out idk why but i heard that they stop at three.

    Maybe beacuse they didn't have enough moeny or something o.o

  • @zidaners Then why in the world did Namco buy the copyrights from Squaresoft? This is so disappointing, I really love the whole game, perfect character/mecha/backgrounds, high quality animation, heart-touching music...And this is my very fav kind of tragic storylines ever.

  • @Sorrrow1984 its because of sales. apparently it did not sell to expectations so they stopped at three. pissed me off cause its truly a great series thats underrated.

  • @jvadude88 This is sad..I really wanted to see the remake of Xenogears on PS2 =(

  • @Sorrrow1984 me too but it wont happen unfortunately. apparently episode 3 only sold 100k ouch even though it was well received by critics and gamers alike. goes to show if an rpg that does not FF in the title or square enix on the box it will be overlooked. xenosaga was suppose to expand six episodes xenogears being episode 7 the last one. since there is tie ins. the least they could do is write novels of the remaining episodes. and i wonder if shion has any relation to citan uziki in xenogears

  • @jvadude88 the best games are always underated :(

  • I dont remember when this song is played in the game

    but dammit I cry when listening to this

    this song is pure magic!

  • too bad the story is messed up due to copyright issues with square soft

  • sniff..

    very emotional.. yet so beautiful..

  • Saddest themes ? What the fuck ?! Beautifulest :ok:

  • @gaarlyy The saddest themes are usually the most beautiful of all the music for that reason.

  • you know, they could at least write the last 3 games as books, i would totally buy and read them all day long!!

  • This is one of my favorite games of all time. A game's OST is very important to me, and this one couldn't go wrong. This song, like many parts of the game, made me cry many times over. The ending was quite possibly the saddest I've seen in an RPG. Crisis Core has nothing on this one!

  • @RyuuUkigo Hell, I'd go as far as saying Aerith has nothing on this one.

  • @RyuuUkigo Nahhh id say crisis core wins in terms of a sad ending.Xenosaga 3 just didnt cut it but the song did tho ^_^

  • cool! so Yuki Kajiura also makes music for videogames? i love all her work =)

  • @xxepicaxx

    All of the former members of the Xenosaga design team are all working on other projects. The chances of them even considering making the second half are slim to none. Besides, if they did, chances are, they would have a different design team and it would be nothing like the first 3 games :P

  • This makes me want to go play a console rpg again =)

  • This is too beautiful.

  • Sad? NO. Beautiful? HELL YEAH >:D

  • What game is this?

  • Gameplay was good in this game. Too bad the ending was terrible. It felt like they just wanted to force drama into an ending and failed at it.

  • i thought it would definitely be Tales of Symphonia - Ozette Theme

  • @McScreamo That's also a really good song but most people don't know enough about Tales of Symphonia even though it is awesome.

  • @TalesOfGod Tales of Symphonia is best selling game tales of all time....compared to games like Terranima...its hardly obscure at all.

  • @goldman77700 True...but Tales Of isn't really a popular series. There also aren't going to be many localized games anymore because Namco pushed all their debt on Tales of studio.

    Then again, Terranigma is a very old game but still has great music.

  • @TalesOfGod Very true, sometimes I wonder just how many games(particularly rpgs) we don't get to see ever leave Japan.

  • in my opinion at 1st place: Terranigma - Resurection

  • Doesn't feel very sad on it's own but I'm sure the event tied to it makes this a sad song

  • Love this song, but it takes forever to end lol. It has like 4 parts where you think it's about to end only for it to start up again

  • @Armmer2006 hate to say it but I'm pretty sure episode 3 is the end. A shame because the series was soooo beautiful.

  • Wow, I've never even played this, and this has got me sad.

    Yuki Kajiura is the composer that did the music for .hack//SIGN too, right? Fuck, she is good.

  • @Elusareth Yeah she is, her music makes the game even better

  • @Elusareth Wow, your right I forgot that she also did something else I listened to recently.

  • This music changes things, i represent this music with vibrating strings in string theory, to represent certain particles. Loop quantum theories might say otherwise.

  • I hate when sad emotions are brought out. Since this does just that better than any other song, does it make sense to say this is my least favorite song because its the best?

  • would never have thought monolith would have made this game ??? am i correct in believing that its the same company that went on to make the games F.E.A.R and condemmed???

  • @bluesilverworks No, the team behind F.E.A.R is the american based company named 'Monolith Productions', and the team behind the Xenosaga series is 'Monolith Soft', which is japanese.

  • @Shiruvan93 ahhhh course course thank you am i right in assumiong monolith soft is the company square liquidated and so became square soft because i know they done it with enix gaming hence square enix

  • @bluesilverworks Monolith was, and as far as I know, still is it's own company. But I don't believe Monolith has sold themselves to anyone. And it was Namco that did these games, not Square/Enix which proves further that Square/Enix is good, but not the best.

  • At 12.10am 27th September 2010. Ellie, my beloved hamster died. she was suffering great pain for the past few days and was losing a lot of weight. We thought she was getting better, but she was still shaking from pain and from the cold. before her death my mother comforted her, cleaned her up and fed her. Ellie managed to stop shaking, but her eyes opened and closed. mother put her in her cage but she died moments later. R.I.P Ellie, the greatest hamster in the world...we all miss you dearly..

  • @Riaquaza I really feel sorry for you I hope you and your mother keep your happy memories with your hamster and dont go buying another hamster.Trust me it will only make u feel worse.

  • @Riaquaza great wording man you almost made me cry for a hamster and i know how it feels when your pet dies it hurts a little since something that has been with you all that time you get so attached that it feels that a piece of you was taken away that day.

  • A combo of a piano and a violin really makes the saddest music its so awesome.

  • This was really the saddest one on this top ten good going. 5/5

  • @Riaquaza ITs a fucking Hamster... They have a lifespan of 3-5 years,

  • @Riaquaza  What does that have to do with this song, really?

  • @TurkishHegemony remain polite and show some respect!

  • @TurkishHegemony Wow, what a nice person.

  • @TurkishHegemony

    Troll ^

  • @Riaquaza I've had 9 hamsters since I was little, and it is hard to watch them go. But I always just remind myself that they are only short-term friends. Never easy to let an animal go, even a lil' hammy!

  • Beautiful!

  • i used to think that some forms of greater beauty were impossible to see, or express. this proves me wrong :D

  • I never played the game, but this piece is very touching. I wish I knew if I could buy this sound track. It really is beautiful

  • There may not be a Xenosaga Ep. 4 however that doesn't mean it wont come out under a new name. Just cause this game was the end of the Xeno(saga) trilogy doesn't mean its the end of the Xeno series. Xenogears was episode 5 of the series. The next game in the series might have the title Xenogears, since it would have to take place on the same planet as the original Xenogears. It will most likely be about the events leading up to the original game, if it ever does come out.

  • This was the definitive choice. However, I am genuinely surprised that "People imprisoned by destiny" from Chrono Cross was not on this list.

  • @cravingradishes Several of Chrono Cross songs could've been on top imo. But I think those violins really got me in this particular song.

  • Xenogears = the superior game.  if square wants to truly dominate the gaming market, they MUST remake that game.

  • Beautiful......soaring cello :)

  • This song made me cry. I remember watching the ending scenes over and over again...

  • anybody know the fight when u battle against the guy with the sword?

  • @ballin302008 fatal fight

    

  • masterpiece of a game it rivals final fantasy X easily

  • @nejijuan1 Not hard to rival any FF from 10 on sir...

  • @EddyVitkauskasXband dude 10 was easily one of the best rpgs ever...so this one is still not better but its up there

  • @nejijuan1 Just my opinion. 10 was the beginning of the end for Square. Actually when it became SquareEnix was the beginning of the end.

  • @EddyVitkauskasXband frankly 7,8,9 are over rated personally i like 12-13 best out of all the final fantasies then again im a sci-fi junkie i never been into the whole knights,castles and dragons type thing so take that how you will

  • @MasakanSolaris That doesn't make any sense. FF7 is pure sci-fi. FF12 is Fantasy.

  • @gorboy I'll explain 12 was sci-fi in the sense that they had all that crazy technology it was obvious they borrowed a lot from star wars.I consider 12 to be sci-fi cause of the level of technology in the game.

    Now both 7 and 8 had a more modern feel to i, nothing truly futuristic,not that that's a problem i like that setting too. I wanted to like 7 and 8 i really did,but the combat was boring,and the characters annoyed me.The only character in 7 i like is the one everyone seems to hate. Yuffie.

  • @MasakanSolaris Can't stand 13 at all. Ick. My fav's will always be 4, 6, 7, 9. One of the main things that sucked about 13 (and I didn't even bother playing it. Just watched it all) is the fact that there are so many versions of classic enemies that look robotic... That and how the ending is just like a 7 rip off. Thats what you get when Sakaguchi and Uematsu aren't involved in their legacy.

  • @EddyVitkauskasXband are you gonna act like a nostalgically blind fan brat or are you gonna listen to rational thought for once in ya life?!

    Don't judge a game unless you beaten it for yourself i hate 7 but at least I beat the dam thing.

    Its crazy to compare FF anyway cause they are all different you wanna know what all FF have in common? The title that's it!

    If it wasn't called FF no one would have a bitch fit over 12 or 13 and dont pull that they wouldnt sell as well excuse out your ass ok?

  • @MasakanSolaris Call me a fan brat if you will... but FF is not FF without Nobuo Uematsu being the sound architecht. I'm sure I'm not alone in just that point of view by itself. I dunno. I guess it does depend on the person, but I for one, don't believe there has been a real FF since 9. You mean to tell me you weren't absolutely disappointed when you got the airship in 10 and it was just a list of places and no flying? Come on... The voice acting in 13 and general story just irk me.

  • @EddyVitkauskasXband Personally i didn't get into ff until 10.

    But you did get one thing right. It does depend on the person.I for one don't allow such insignificant trivialities ruin my gaming experience. If i like a game,I like a game. It's not that hard to comprehend.

    Frankly Uematsu's music tends to bore me and if i hear one winged angel one more time I'm gonna throw up!

    Hamauzu's sounds more interesting I'll say that.

    also just admit it you hate voice acting in 10 and 12 too dontcha?

  • @MasakanSolaris Yep. Voice acting started in 10 and has been bad since... Wow! You started in with 10? You're probably not going to do this, but you should really go back and get 6 & 7 under your belt... Advent Children is probably the farewell of FF. The voice acting in that wasn't half bad and it's an epic cg achievement. You have seen that right?

  • @EddyVitkauskasXband let me rephrase that i didn't start liking FF until 10 the only one i liked before that was 6 don't ask me why there was just something awesome about 6 plus the boss music was one of the few tracks uematsu made that i like.

    and to tell you the truth advent children is what kinda cemented my hatred for FF7 or at least cloud,tifa and pretty boy longsword

    if they weren't trying to make cloud emo in the game they sure as hell made him emo in AC

  • @MasakanSolaris Touche... In the game Cloud lost his mind and I loved that! The whole shock being so great he had to be pushed around in a wheelchair. I suppose they did make him a bit emo. I also can't stand the OWA theme. I personally also found that 6 was the one that had the biggest impact on me as well, and had a far better score. It just sucked you in and whisked you away, and that never seemed to happen again. It almost did with 7, but not quite. Dunno what the future holds for FF...

  • @EddyVitkauskasXband I got an idea if you cant think of the newer games as ff games then why not think of them as games with final fantasy in the title.

    That's essentially what they are anyway.

    If you really cant think of them as ff games then just think of them as separate games.

  • @MasakanSolaris Oh I do... Just really seperate ; )

  • @EddyVitkauskasXband well yea no one can be mad with your opinion..cause everyone has one liek some ppl think FF7 is the best some ppl hate it...i personally love FFX and FFXIII and all the kingdom heart games square enix did..so yea...

  • @nejijuan1 Oh I loved Kingdom Hearts, but you have to remember that the first KH came out while it was still Squaresoft. When 2 came it was a disappointment for me in alot of ways. I don't have high hopes for 3 ever even being made.

  • @EddyVitkauskasXband dude the story was better in the first kingdom hearts anyone can see that and more challenging but the 2nd one had way beter battle system and mini games and graphics and so on admit that dude

  • @nejijuan1 I dunno about better graphics... It seemed like the graphics were stretched more vertically and squished inward horizontally like the old film Buckaroo Banzai... I can say this though... The music in both games is awesome!!!! All of the best epic games, with the exception of KH2 came out under Squaresoft... Xenogears, Vagrants story, tactics, FF 1- 9...

  • @EddyVitkauskasXband yea yea i love ssoft...but squarenix is holding its own ground..they still making games for a reason squaresoft isnt around...its liek an evolved form of soft i think...plus enix still gots tetsuya nomura nobou uematsu an sakaguchi what more do you want in a game ??those guys are the best videogame makers ever in my opinion

  • @nejijuan1 Absolutely, but in my opinion this has nothing o FF6 and FF7

  • Beaitiful.

  • If i had the funds i would buy the series and continue to make it, god i wish i was rich cause all they want to do now adays is make tons of FPS games :( we rpg'ers are a dying breed.

  • @cic346 I agree, I don't have much hope invested in FF because it was games like these that made the RPG genre and nowadays that isn't very popular anymore. Now games just focus on shoot' em ups that shouldn't really be considered RPG's.

  • they should make episode IV. the game should be divided into two scenearios. one with jin(been healed by chaos), KOSMOS, and chaos trying to survive in the lost jerusalem. while shion and the others trying to find lost jerusalem, finding obstacles and battles along the way..........i know i may sound stupid but HEY!! i want episode IV SO BAD!!!

  • @youhamburger your right that is a stupid idea.

    but heres one they should make a lost episode of xenosaga telling us what happend between episode 2 and 3

    just who the hell is grimoire?

  • @MasakanSolaris

    They did, it's a flash called Xenosaga 2-3 : A missing year.

  • @youhamburger Hey I also want a xenosaga 4 soo bad too. Xenosaga 3 was a amazing game for the ps2. My opinion best Ps2 rpg game of all time! My 2nd favorite RPG game but not better then xenogears well whats better then that? anyone !! LOL .

  • Hear this songï»
