Grandia 3 Music: Xorn/Final Battle (Great Assize)

[eternalBboy1]

xorn disliked this song after his defeat....smh

[josephtheomniscient]

I WILL DESTROY ALL LOOOOOOVE! LMAO!

[Achille12345]

All hail to the most "EMO" Final Boss ever made!!

"Kneel before his evil emoness"

[Johny2662]

@Achille12345 yeah cuz' he lost his girlfriend and doesn't feel love should exist anymore, huh?

[TheRadical]

This song represents the game well.

First half, great. Second half: What the hell were they thinking?

[MZD79]

@TheRadical I'll repeat what another poster said. The first part represents Xorn's darkness, 2nd half represents overcoming the darkness. Although everyone has different musical tastes, even different tastes in games so not everyone will like any one game (not even Super Mario Bros or Pacman xD)

[USHIRAPEDRO20]

who needs a special boss with XORN near????!!!

[Sharku008]

the first was because i got careless during a surrounding and the 2nd was against one of the thongs in the last hallway of the final place

[Sharku008]

i amazed myself by dieing only 2 times during my first playthrough and none during a single boss fight including emelious and xorn

[Brice855464]

Attention Everyone who wants this game. There was only 100 thousand copies sold in the US. They do NOT sell this anymore, nor do they make it.

[buttafly72]

The dark part means Xorn's darkness and the happy part means Yuki and his team wining over the darkness. I like the final boss theme,one of my favs. It has a meaning for each part in the song. Every clever if you ask me. :)

[ShikibuSan]

@buttafly72 That's only clever if the happy part comes on when you're actually winning and not when Xorn is kicking your ass.

[buttafly72]

@ShikibuSan lol your right about that. xD

[s3odi511]

i love this game

[hootllum]

ALL LIVING THINGS MUST PARISH!

[IndalecioCeleste]

You've heard of Koudelka then, right? I don't have that one.

[thewerecactus]

great ass size? i'll say.

[dobadobadooo]

I liked Alfina...

[RoarOfRa]

Kind of like this song, even if it doesn't seem to fit the idea of "final boss", though I guess this just isn't what I'm used to. As an aside, from what I have seen, Alfina is COMPLETELY UNLIKABLE. I've checked with other people, and apparently NO ONE likes her.

[IndalecioCeleste]

GAPING...PLOT...HOLES. That sums this whole game up. Geez, it's like they crapped it out before actually thinking the whole game through. I borrowed this from a friend and beat it. Battle system was great, I just wish they would take the time to make a good deep storyline with characters I can actually get attached to, all while creating a game that has more than just the main storyline.

[Zenjin000]

@IndalecioCeleste

I dont mean to be rude but, are you serious? Game Makers these days realized "most" RPG Fans dont care about deep engaging plot. Its all about shiny graphics, girly men, and easy to execute (and obtain) awesome attacks.

Dont believe me? Look at some of the most popular RPG's of this era: Final Fantasy XIII, Kingdom Hearts II, Eternal Sonata. One is not like the others. One HAS A PLOT.

We are a sad minority of RPG fans. Good RPGs still exist though (if you can believe it).

[IndalecioCeleste]

@Zenjin000 I meant that there were no sidequests. That's what I meant about the main storyline.  And all three of those games had a plot, albeit Eternal Sonata was the only one that had a GOOD plot.

[Zenjin000]

@IndalecioCeleste

Thats what I was getting at. Good plot is very hard to find these days. As are decent sidequests. Last game(s) I can remember that had decent sidequests was.... Tales of Symphonia, Vesperia, Abyss, ect....?

And there were a FEW sidequests in Grandia III, but not particularly engaging ones. Like the whole deal with the kid detective (like i said, not all that engaging).

Its always good to find another REASONABLE and intelligent RPG player like you, it really REALLY is.

[IndalecioCeleste]

@Zenjin000 Try the Shadow Hearts games, they're hard to find but they're some of the best RPGs out there by far.

[Zenjin000]

@IndalecioCeleste

Played em', loved em'. Actually, I got each of them right after they came out (with the exception of the third one.... still lookin' for that one). They were frickin' amazing, gotta say. I liked the second one the best so far.

[Ghengis1221]

@IndalecioCeleste The plot of Eternal Sonata might've been good, but the way it turned out in the end was confusing and complete balls.

[IndalecioCeleste]

@Ghengis1221 At least the girl lived.  That's all I cared about.

[KaiserVadin]

The final boss music was ruined by the boss not shutting the F UP !

[CitanKainUzuki]

@KaiserVadin

"ALL LOVE MUST BE DESTROYED!"

"ALL IS MEANINGLESS before MEEE!\!!"

I'm sorry, you were saying? :p

[BlueElectrona]

Still love Grandia II the most I have beaten it on Dreamcast and PS2 XD I will always be a Geohound!

[BurningFireFlower360]

man i hated when Xorn created the vortex thing (damn i forget what it's called) and i would get everyone out of it...then Ulf would end up randomly running back into it...i mean "COME ON!!! WTF?!" and then he dies...SERIOUSLY!!!! but god damn i remember beating it and i was screaming at the top of my lungs for about an hour, running around the house "OH MY GOD I BEAT XORN, I BEAT XORN!!! YATAAAAHH!!!!"

[DWZ55]

1:15-1:40 best part of the song

[Mazukot]

Grandia 1 was a fantastic game hands down. But I don't see why people are comparing Grandia 1,2, and 3. They're completely different games. That's as if you're comparing final fantasy 1 to 7. Grandia 3 I found to be extremely charming with fantastic scenery.

[Serieth]

Dude, You Played Grandia 1 and Still Enjoyed 3? I Envy To Have Ignorance Of Predecessors, Grandia 1 Wasn't About "We'll Try EPICZ For Great Eye Candies!" Grandia 1 Is Up There With Miyazaki And Disney

[Mazukot]

I agree, but keep this is mind. Now, Grandia, the game the first. It was a good game with a charming story line. But the premise of Grandia and the story in the big picture, well it's a little generic and bland. Though it executed beautifully. Grandia 3 for me just felt nice, almost like a surprise though not the best. It had the the same primes of the plot, with the same archetype as Justin. I thought the game was a lot of fun, alone it's graphics were quit good for PlayStation 2.

[BurningFireFlower360]

I played them both and I love both of them! The storyline for 1 and 3 were relatively the same. Two people fell in love and both the main characters had a dream and so on and so forth. I haven't played the second one yet, so I'm not sure if it compares to the others, but I found both games extremely entertaining and I can't say that one was better than the other besides the graphics. Grandia 3 had beautiful graphics, but Grandia 1 had a certain feel to it that made it special as well. ^_^

[smashlover9]

grandia 2 is awsome you have to play it

[BurningFireFlower360]

yeah i know i REALLY want to get it!!

[fiercezero]

Maybe why...

They have the same name

They have a protagonist with a pilot'goggles

They have equals system battle

They have an story about love and humanity

They have very much humours thing

[Mazukot]

Lol.

Now you're narrowing down all Japanese rpg's.

[Omegashrimp9]

The intro is great. The dark and emotional tone is kind of destroyed by the extremely uplifting chorus though.

[KaiserVadin]

No it was destroy by the final boss not shuting the " **** " up !

[shenmuemasta]

You know, the way this music builds up remind me of the Persona 4 final battle music.

[pakman903]

grandia 2 way better

[Serieth]

the final battle theme was better than the game itself IMO

[HYDEGaaraSand26]

can someone find me the sheet for the piano please D:

[Tarazed1]

sounds like Beethoven wrote the intro/first bit

[ryudooo]

while i say it's a good one, but it's not as awesome as Grandia 2 final battle's music

[hotwhire]

1:46 sounded like the db gt theme

[anavampirica666]

I don't like the happy part. It doesnt fit into the song. They should've done separate songs, one sad and one happy.

[1337Mugen]

The song represents overcoming darkness I think. The serious part represents the darkness, the happy part represents overcoming it.

[Runeless]

I totally agree. This final battle theme really tells a story--its so obvious. I think it works well, never heard anything quite like it in a video game.

[Azurescar]

hmm...you never know =/ i just find it odd after the seriousness of the song, it ends up all happy..i mean i could get killed by xorn during the happy part....it will seem as if they are celebrating my death..P.S xorn looks like a giant omnipotent ink stain XD

[TheRadical]

XD Nice.

[TalesofMe101]

@Azurescar i know that was the hardest boss I played in my life. I had to go back to levels, train, get all of my sp bakc by perfect battles, then fight this dude.

[0a170]

@TalesofMe101

ya dude was tough . but the gameplay was so satisfying

[TalesofMe101]

1:44-2:20, I remember Alfina dying when Xorn said "all living this must perish."

Alfina:*Screams*

Yuki: C'mon!

[1337Mugen]

Am I the only one who likes the entire song? o.O

[Zpothu]

i love the happy part too. i don't understand anyone not liking the whole thing

[Merhawk102]

Some people don't like the happy-sounding part, because they feel as if it ruins the darkish feel of the song.

[ShikibuSan]

Well, I think the song is pretty, but I just like more upbeat battle songs in general.

[CitanKainUzuki]

No you aren't.

[Azurescar]

i like 1:20-1:35 after that....nah

[putango526]

first minute was badass but the other part complete bullshit.

[TheRadical]

Agreed.

[radxguy]

fitting boss battle song....Xorn was easy...I mean compareed to Emelious and the enemies in the hall way right before ou fought Xorn....

[Runeless]

Yeah those guys in the hall before zorn were shit hard lol

[CitanKainUzuki]

I had no problem with Emilious. Xorn, however....>.>

[BronxDragon]

this music didnt hype me up at all when i got to the final boss -.- i was expecting alot to since this is grandia and they are known for bad ass battle music

[Runeless]

Yeah the final battle theme wasn't overly intense, but on the other hand I find it to be dramatic still...It kinda tells a story--the part in the middle (about 1:45) is uplifting and encouraging... like you can tell the characters are trying to pull together to overcome this threat to the world.

[NessAndLucied]

Why is there a Gatorade symbol in the coner?? 0_o

[Zpothu]

subliminal advertising

[Runeless]

Yes, I liked this final battle theme too. I thought the piano made it very dramatic versus the synth-y kinda music used in the rest of the game.

[thelunadivider]

i luv this song from grandia 3

xorn was easy though

[Tsumefan2]

its not zorn its xorn

[Omegashrimp9]

I like the song besides the happy, inspirational part.
