Best VGM 203 - Eternal Sonata - Leap the Precipice (Battle)

[uMeowe]

I actually just finished this game over the weekend and this just popped up in my suggested songs.

[BetaWolf47]

This does sound really similar to The Valedictory Elegy. Not that that's a bad thing...

[RPGShean]

1:25 holy shit

[moonchild3131]

Stay out of my way!

TERRA EXCERTA!!

[DarkJokerOfAmuro]

@moonchild3131

Externa dude Externa

[moonchild3131]

@DarkJokerOfAmuro oh it's been a while since I played (I can't find my copy :-C )

[BluecaliburZero]

You dare to turn your sword to me?

Fucking love frederic :D

[papucci]

I love this song but it would have been much better if performed by an orchestra.

[randomn3ssx]

Believe what you see and die.

PHANTOM PAIN!

[LeonGroff2777]

@randomn3ssx Triumphant victory! The hoofbeats of the brutal horde approach! LEGION FULMINANTE!

[wingedavarice]

Marked By The Hatred And Envy Of The Dead, PHANTOM WAVE!

[elliotroks121]

had it on autoplay and then i heard this :')

[rickicker]

"SKY FIRE!! Last chance to apologize!"

Beat is an adorable little badass. XD

[jb08045]

SHADE COMET!

[LanternKnight]

Burn away to nothing...

SUN SLASH!

[FeelFail]

Shadow Silhouetto! :D

[jahmyire66]

dont get ubuntu.makes u wanna kill yourself

[8Kazuja8]

@jahmyire66 Ubuntu is awesome, but hard to setup. Also, many drivers have no Linux-version, so you also need to do some detours to install some things. Nevertheless, for some people(including me), it's very useful: It's way faster than windows, has multiple desktops, a software center where you can get everything and some pretty useful software.

Windows is useable out of the box.

Ubuntu needs effort and care, but rewards you with neat functions/performance.

[jahmyire66]

i hate this stupid operating system ubuntu.cant even enjoy good music

[kimonji]

Too bad battles don't last this long in game to hear the whole song. I'd be kinda dead if I delay the fights just to hear it all.

[Adrien06200LoL]

DIAMENT !!!!!! THIS GAME IS OVER

[eddylugia]

ONE M00:00RE TIME!

[MythXT]

Fuck yeah Unreleased Baten Kaitos III Battle Theme !

[mikewill9511]

This is great but Kingdom Hearts has the best soundtracks. T.T so beautiful.

[Wander94]

@mikewill9511 Have you heard the Nier soundtrack? One of the most beautiful OST music ever.

[OgnarPliskin]

When I hear this song I always think of Beat and his gun.

pa-chew pa-chew pa-chew pa-chew pa-chew pa-chew pa-chew pa-chew

[1337rox]

I was put off playing this game a couple years back because of the dungeons (How is it physically possible for a pirate ship to have four floors?) I popped it back into my xbox the other day and remembered why i got it.

[seeibe]

Oh, and also, while I was taught to hate classical music in school, being forced to listen to it, this game makes me feel fascination for it again.

[DarkJokerOfAmuro]

@seeibe

what the hell kind of sick school teaches to hate Classical Music???

[seeibe]

I love the music and style of this game. The story you probably only like if you like anime(typically emo). The gameplay pales a bit in comparison, since it's just a plain old JRPG with an innovative combat system, but you can't have everything. :)

[Tanyu22]

shitty game is shitty.

[Rheinmetall1]

I din't like the game, but I love the battle theme!

[TheProgrammingMaster]

Some parts of this song reminds me a bit of Baten Kaitos

[W3bba]

@TheProgrammingMaster if by some you mean the whole song then yes :P

[LanaGame]

Sakuraba likes to recycle huh? :P

[ExaExcellion]

@LanaGame A friend of mine called this: "The epitome of Sakuraba. If you mix every idea he ever had and put it together this (awesome) piece is what you get." XD

[LanaGame]

@ExaExcellion Good one!! XD

[OrangecolaGT]

I remember hearing this for the first time on vip.aerisia (an application that has a huge playlist of video game music), and it's been one of my favorites ever since.

[legendaryhero123]

1:32

[hirokaski]

really needs to be on the 3ds this game i saw and loved it even the wii

[ImpossibleItIsNot7]

@topdod Aw Well Aren't You A Whiny Inattentive Little B1tch? Hahaha

[diegola69]

I've never played this game, why the f*ck do i know this song.

rly nice song btw

[sean1997102]

did sakuraba do tales of vesperia too?

cause this sounds a lot to familliar

[Ratatosk77]

@sean1997102 Yeah, Golden Sun, All of the Tales of Games, Star Ocean.

[LolMahBig]

Phantom Pain!

[Kaiserzel]

SUN BLADE! EARTH HEAL!

[gunslingerfry]

A great game and a great battle theme.

[paulunga]

Baten Kaitos battle theme, awesome!

...wait. That's not Baten Kaitos at all!

[SirKefka]

@paulunga That's the first thing I said when I heard this! Same composer.

[bakaelrohir]

@paulunga It's Sakuraba. So it can be Baten Kaitos, any Star Ocean or Valkyrie Profile, or Tales of the Abyss (the anime...), and it's okay. ^^

[tecaltabiano]

Sakuraba sometimes sucks....

......BIG TIME.....

....but on a few cases...

HE MAKES SOME F*CKING EPIC MUSIC!!!

KUDOS

[PoisonMatch]

I WANT ETERNAL SONATA 2 !!!!!!!!

[Xorcrupt]

Crash Cymbals seem pretty weak.

Still a cool tune though. :)

[leryan]

Burn away to nothing HEAT BLADE

[reaperofthedamned07]

@leryan There is power within my memories! LISTEN! PEEEYOU GRA-VAY.

[SamFisherCell]

When I play a new game for over 2 hours straight, it means I like it a lot.

[BigWillTheThrill]

One thing I can say about Eternal Sonata, it had some of the best music I have heard in an RPG.

[ngicbaav2]

1:57 - 2:02 is epic!!

[shayne6393]

Does this sound like a song from Tales of the Abyss to anyone else? I searched for a while and couldn't find anything?

[kaoskastle]

@shayne6393 Both soundtracks were composed by the same guy, so that's not too surprising.

[tinyraptor]

This song reminds me of Baten Kaitos

[MjauProductions]

My power shall become a shining beacon, that will bestow healing upon your broken wings, Spirit's Pathway!

Though I do play with the Japanese voices but I can't remember the Japanese quote on the top of my head ;(

Now if you excuse me I gotta go complete Eternal Sonata on New Game+ ... again ;)

[Gohauld]

"Believe what you see and die! Phantom Pain!"

[7bladeschnieder]

this song reminds me so much of the Tales games

[ImpossibleItIsNot7]

@GalacticGuard Eh You Probably Played The Xbox360 Version Quite Unfortunatly The PS3 Version Like Many Other Popular RPG Style Games Has Much More Expansive Content Ranging From Additional Bosses To New Story Parts Items Amongst Other Unfair Advantages As Such I Highly Reccomend The PlayStation3 Version To That Of The 360 Version If You've Already Cleared The Game And Do Not Own A PS3 Then Simply Watch The Story Parts (Reccomended) In A Walkthrough Form Using Youtube Or Other Sites ^^

[topdod]

@ImpossibleItIsNot7

Stop capitalising every word for fucks sake.

It makes reading that wall of text harder than it needs to be and people will just stop reading it, I know I did.

[Ritsuioko23]

I remember when my friend introduced me to this game and I fell in love with it immediately! However I wish we could play it with 3 people but nobody else seemed to like it... This game is so underrated and it's awesome.

[Vampirechao]

Applaudissment sonique!

[chocolat6666]

Phantom Pain!

[Smedium5]

Rapid Shooter!

[Gogetax111]

Orzeł Biały!

[rpgmaster947]

[MurderPlague]

Piu Grave!!! XD

[gaki899]

Sounds a lot like Baten Kaitos Im guessing it's the same music composer.

[Xlolita89X]

@gaki899 Same composer and in fact same song, just with some differences. Look up Baiten Kaitos the True Mirror. :) Love it nonetheless!

[lilmikehokage]

@gaki899 it is. Something about music like this just makes rpg's so grand and epicxD

[enetickk]

Ive never heard of or played this game but the music i have to say is Incredible

[dreamofpassion]

@enetickk It is for both PS3 and Xbox360 I have it for PS3 and absolutely love it. The game itself is revolved around music and is about Frederick Chopin, a famous composer. They use some of his compositions in the game too.

[argarggra]

Currently playing this game, but also have a lot of studying to do for the finals, the awesome soundtrack will have to suffice until I can once again emerge into this beautiful RPGsu

[Plasmon19]

Hey Catherine, Remember this?lol

[NotSoNinjaBeaver]

ive never played this game because i dont hav an xbox but this music is god dam AMAZING

[gustavelechat]

@NotSoNinjaBeaver The game's not only on Xbox 360, it can also be found on PS3. For proof, i played it on PS3 cause i don't have an xbox me neither. Hope that helps!

[NotSoNinjaBeaver]

@gustavelechat sadly i dont a have a ps3 either xD would it happen to be on pc?

[gustavelechat]

@NotSoNinjaBeaver nope, unfortunately :(

[PinkedWitchArche]

0:05 to 0:07

Theme of Battle , Tales of Destiny 2

[thelken]

Damn this is amazing. Goosebump city.

[Tofusensei1976]

Uno de los juegos más adictivos para mi PS3 que tuve el honor de jugar y acabar. Esta melodía te pone en verdad fuego en el pecho.

[sodapop513]

Despite being way over 2 years old, I'm still utterly amazed at the graphics of this game. This song brings it all back. Eternal Sonata was amazing...

but the ending made no sense. 

[MetroidCommando]

Best RPG ever. I'm not kidding. Something has finally beaten Chrono Trigger.

[masterplusmargarita]

You'd think a game named after a type of music would have an excellent soundtrack.

It does.

[lawrawrous]

anyone hating this game has problems.

[Merlin705]

Best. Song. In. Game. End of.

[sonic06isawesome]

@Merlin705

More like...ever.

[Merlin705]

@sonic06isawesome Yeah, but that would be counted as sad, discriminating all other music out there xP

[halo3boy1]

Do I make your eyes spin?

[HmongHeroo]

lol just heard this game last year sad bc it ws great but still hasn't finished has a great story line lol i find it like finalfantasy like the l'cie brands

[Hemlocke3]

I don't really like the story as much as the music and the battles. They are better than the story, then again what is better than this music!

[EphemeralDreamX]

Brilliant piece!

[Stellarcirclefive]

I was never able to beat this game. This is pretty much how it went down:

Me- "Okay Count Waltz I'm gonna beat you musically inspired ass into oblivion!"

Waltz- "O rly?

Me- "Uhhhh...yeah."

Waltz- "........APOCOLYPSE FALL!!!!"

Me-"HOLY FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU-"

*Game Over*

However, I did manage to have Marche destroy his Dragon with a single Super Nova, it was sexy to watch :)

[GalacticGuard]

@Stellarcirclefive Waltz wasn't that hard, was he? Just level a bit more with the characters you want to fight him with (Allegretto, Jazz and Falsetto were my kick-ass team), give them some good equipment (for example, I gave Jazz something so he would move a lot faster) and you're bound to win. You should definetly ry to, because the end of this game is very beautiful :)

[GalacticGuard]

This is such a beautiful game, really... Yes, there are some minor points that could be improved, but the overal experience just blows them all away. It's got beautiful anime graphics, great characters, an entertaining battle-system that improves itself when making progress, and the best music I've ever heard in a game before. You can feel that there's been put so much love and effort into this game by Tri-Cresendo. I will love his game forever and in my opinion, it's the best game ever made! :)

[home227]

@GalacticGuard you took the words right out of my mouth dude

[nevfx]

@GalacticGuard Amen to that. 

[reaperofthedamned07]

@GalacticGuard I showed my friend's girlfriend this game - suffice to say if she got an Xbox 360, I'd get a copy of this as long as my friend got her Black Ops... lol.

[luneth34]

@GalacticGuard well i do agree: YES I LOVE THIS GAME. however the few things they need fixing... aren't few, there are a lot they could improve on: one such example being dungeon exploration; i can't tell you howmany times that if i got lost, i was screwed for a month or so

[ecyor0]

@luneth34 Well, that and the confusing metaphysical metaphor ending.... Evangelion, you have a LOT to answer for... >_<

[luneth34]

@ecyor0 lol true dat brodah/sistah XD

[MetroidCommando]

@luneth34 Oh, yeah. Fort Fermata gave me nightmares, I swear.

[luneth34]

@MetroidCommando agreed :|

[LuffyDumpkins]

@MetroidCommando I know right! I was like "Damn, do they call it Fort Fermata because you spend too long there trying to figure out where to go?" XD

[wingedavarice]

@luneth34 i played through nastier dungeons, but what made me itchy was the "team lvl" and the ending. the enemies were repetitive, and i wish you could recruit the human bosses. the charactor designs were to nice to die.

[luneth34]

@wingedavarice lols either way, just gotta enjoy the game right? XD

[ToSDerek]

Get ready to enter the boundries of nothingness...

VOID EDGE!

[ToSDerek]

The 3 people who disliked this are the opposites of Allegretto,Beat,and Polka and must be destroyed.Sun Slash style.Thumbs up if you agree.

[OgnarPliskin]

How about we go a round?

[Fridge10102]

Three people overdid the mineral powder

[Cosomut]

I only got this game the other day and I gotta say after only an hour of gameplay I love it. It's a very nicely done RPG, the battle system is interesting and the music is incredible. As a hardcore RPGer I gotta say it's a nice addition to my collection.

The three who dislike this are obviously idiots who cannot appreciate artestry in gaming and probably only follow trends. The dumbasses.

[chibanteEcatia]

@Cosomut yeah yeah im an hardcore rpg too, i do love rpgs. but this game gets really boring man.. the story all of it is great the battles too the music is so awsome but the story gets so boring :S

[ragrappy00]

This battle music reminds me of Baten Kaitos of course they were made by the same people so both underrated games

[tarkeke]

@ragrappy00 it's the same composer. motoi Sakuraba

[Bloodyidit]

if the game is about a extremley talented real life pianist, it better have some damn good music.

holy hell did they come through.

the gameplay is fun too.

[RedrixCroW]

E.S.'s godlike.

[Zweixhander]

I Love Eternal Sonata and this is 1 of my favorite songs on that game! xD

[NeloAngeloNero]

@Zweixhander Hi You Smell Good :D do you like chocolate?...Did you say chocolate 0_o? I want to get this game now its all because of you nooooooo your going to make me poor damn you cat german man I am going to kirby hadoken you (>*-*)> < ) g2g ttyl bye btw Bromance ;)

[Zweixhander]

[NeloAngeloNero]

@Zweixhander Hi :D This song gets me pumped up for SSF4 thats Right mr.Zwei I will hadoken you and yeah keep it classy plus I haven't seen you on PSN latey get your butt online.

[NeloAngeloNero]

@Zweixhander Hi :D This song gets me pumped up for SSF4 thats Right mr.Zwei I will hadoken you and yeah keep it classy plus I haven't seen you on PSN get your butt online.

[RedGhost0]

I so wish I had been playing piano when my cousin was living with me. He had this game and an Xbox 360. Now I shall never know the true worth of this awesome game. Curse adolescent ignorance!

[TheCaveman16]

I love how every song made by tri-cresendo sounds exactly the same, lol

[LanaGame]

Sakuraba sure recycles a lot @_@ the opening reminds me of Baten Kaitos.

But I still love this theme :)

[Vcc2cc]

@LanaGame I played Baten Kaitos back in the day, and yea this battle music sounds very similar to ES's. Still good tho.

[Genowhirl66]

such an awesome game with sweet spells. I mean have you ever heard of Legion Fulminate in any other RPG? no

[MattAlchemy]

Same music composer as Baten Kaitos I'm guessing, right? If so then I must get this game!

[evilizetheknight]

you already have this one on the playlist !!!

[Darkfoxdemonx]

truthfully, unbalanced is my favorite battle music, but this is in my top 5 :3

this is probably one of the best games in the world! if anyone listening hasn't played it yet, BUY IT! all teh music is so pretty, yet EPIC!

[rpggame16]

This song is so beautiful and epic that I could listen to it forever!

[DXSvlex]

The best song of the game.

Even if it frequently appears, this BGM is so... Magistral.

[bexiboobah]

You better beg for mercy from this one! SACRED STRIKE!!!!

[IMCRYSTALMAN]

My power shell be a shinning beacon, what will bestow healing upon your broken wings!

SPIRITS PATHWAY!

[AxelTheTerminator]

A neverending Vibration, in Eternal Silence....

PIU GRAVE!

[Jasou2]

BLOODY PLUME- did you see the feathers?

[Prince1560]

[Vf5rules1]

Man. This almost sounds like the True Mirror from Baten Kaitos Origins.

[genissage4u]

Bloody Plum!

[Scholey1989]

I have given this a great deal of thought....and this...can be considered....my answer!!!

[StephKatie12]

Orange Glow~ :D

[manofaluminum9000]

This reminds me too much of the true mirror and valedictory elegy for me to like it.
