Goddamn it, I play through XIII, and get mad, and swear I will never get XIII-2, and then here I fucking am again. I remember this song halfway through playing, and wish the first XIII had tracks like this.
Sounds like a Mizuta song was arranged by Hamauzu. It has a strong, memorable Mizuta-like core melody but the arrangement is far beyond his past work and obviously smacks of Hamauzu.
@teddiesage I hope your right, but based on what was shown at e3 and the battle theme wasn't this, then either this is a scene where shit gets crazy, or it's doing a particular boss/type of boss. Still, if this were the theme, I'd love to battle to it.
@totlmstr Wait, bro. You forgot a bassist. But I guess Sazh would fit, considering the fact that he's the only black character in the game next to his sun.
@totlmstr But only black people can play bass. Nah, Vanille would be more like a vocalist, or something. Too perky for a background role like the bass.
Also, yes it was, but at the same time Mass Destruction was cheesy as fuck, you have to admit.
@Fly2theSora What's wrong with Jazz? Have you been part of Square to make a Final Fantasy game? What do you know about "Final Fantasy" music? You're saying it like saying noone is allowed to branch out and try different styles. Seriously. Open your mind a little.
@KneeNAR played other final fantasies than just 13. this does not hold the standar of a final fantasy track, its holds the standar of a good jazz track. and in most cases, you dont want the latter one here.
Whoa, holy shit. They cracked out the talent for XIII-2! Then again, they didn't hype this one up for six years and then rush developing on a new engine.
@ProjectDecade You mean flaws? Bugs are issues with the code of the game that causes it to do unexpected things. The design of the game was intentional and the same design concepts are seen in tons of games, so you can't call linearity a bug.
That violin work was absolutely beautiful! Truly marvelous!! GREAT SONG! Electric was great too! Well the music certainly has a better and if i might add, better feel to it (personal opinion) Now lets just hope the GamePlay feel the same!!!!!
@nor3paint I agree - Objectively this is great! I mean sure one-winged angel was of epic proportions - however it doesn't mean that another composer can have a chance to spread their wings a bit.
This is called Run. :D
