Wild ARMs (PS) - Filgaia Overworld

[Senshiboi99]

I miss this game alot

[CleverDjembe]

The truth is:

This is 99% Ennio Morricone's Ecstasy of Gold.

[TheNattak]

If I were to ever embark on an epic adventure across the world, this would be my song.

[Darklordangel]

Dude, has anyone noted the similar sounds between this song and "Ecstasy for Gold" from The Good The Bad and The Ugly? Seriously! Go listen and start humming this alongside it! It's eerie! Considering this came out afterwards, maybe the game designers took it to give it the Western feel. =)

[JBhag21]

@Darklordangel ...you're a little late to the party I see. Lol.

[Darklordangel]

@JBhag21 Not so much late as just in time for something new. To myself. =)

[aerik9]

@Darklordangel Yeah, it's damn near the same song. I thought the same thing when I heard it. :D

[Darklordangel]

@aerik9 Psh, late to the party, people are still noting the similar sounds in numerous things. I was really shocked. XP

[maximilianoacdc]

eleole

[MarCasters]

Haha, It's kind of reminiscent of Ennio Morricone's Ecstasy of Gold :L

[machidason]

sounds like metallica enter the sand men the beggining but faster

[ArmaniDemon]

I wish I'd never grown up.

[z3roo0]

wow, i've never even heard of this game, and i find this song and other songs of this game epic!

[livinglitch]

@z3roo0 Its on the psn for 5 or 10. Do yourself a favor and get it.

[nightmare445]

@z3roo0 Dude, you have to play this game, it's epic !

[Raikomaru]

When all is said and done, only The Good, The Bad and The Damsel can save Filgaia from those who would further doom it.

[decurser]

@Raikomaru the bad? you mean jack? dude wasn't bad, he was a knight!

[Perkyguy]

@decurser he was bit of an arrogant ass sometimes. he wanted to kill Zed after his monster form fight

[Acelif]

Oh god, trying to find that moving dungeon in the desert! AAAAHHHHHHHHHH

[StephensStuff]

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly! Ecstasy of Gold....the fact the game has a remix is too Subtle!!!

[vegeta9473]

Oh how many hours I spent playing this game. Truly epic. Anyone remember laying down at night and the tune still going through your head? Lol. Well I do.

[dreamyblueangeleyes]

The Good (Blondie)-Cecilia. The Bad (Angel Eyes)-Jack. The Ugly (Tuco)-Rudy.

Cecilia-$200,000 dollars alot of money,we're gonna have to earn it. (jack loses in this epic duel). Cecilia-you see in this world there's two kinds of people my friend,those with loaded spells and those who dig,you dig. (Rudy hanging from a noose). Cecilia-well now this seems like old times,4 for you,and 4,4 for me. (Cecilia shoots!!). Rudy-HEY BLOND!!!, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE?!!!, JUST A DIRTY SON OF A B---- !!!!.

[1313Mordid]

I grew up in a smaller town that was close to some mountains and canyons. I remember me and my two close friends playing this game after school during the week, then going exploring in the mountains during the weekend. We all wanted to have adventures like they did in the games. Memories....

[Dasten]

I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU ALL.

.....I apologise for that false outburst that has been bought on no doubt by extreme excitement over hearing this legendary tune again.

[KitsuneWarrior17]

Best overworld theme ever.

[L3ONARDO07]

This is actually a rearrangement of a song called "Ecstasy Of Gold" by Ennio Morricone. It really is a beautiful song.

[ZombieHouseFresnoCA]

@L3ONARDO07 haha bad ass. Good call leonardo...good call!

[L3ONARDO07]

@ZombieHouseFresnoCA - some people don't know that... i'm just saying, you know xD

[gradius55]

i nearly flunked out of college because of this game and final fantasy 7.

[JayceMearesShit]

Oh God!!! Days of adventure as a child would fill your head when you played this back then!!!

Lol sorry if that doesn't make sense, I'm SUPER baked atm... But yeah, This game was SO amazing, mindblowing. HONESTLY, I have played MANY games, old and new, and even the great staples of these systems, (mario, pokemon, zelda, these are all respected highly for their originality when they came out), and even THEY aren't ANYWHERE as good as Wild Arms.

[greenmonster88]

FUCKKKKKKK! I MISS THESE DAYSSSSS :(

[JiuClaw22]

@greenmonster88 i miss them as well green monster

[thedragonb0y]

You almost wonder why games today can't do things like this anymore?

It's like a glorious generation that has past away and been replace with an endless void of posers using reference material by copy and paste techniques on each other. :'[

[pachacho]

i cant believe how nostalgic this music gets me..

[Seyeklopz]

Taken from The Ecstasy of Gold and another similar theme by Ennicio Morricone from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

[KageMinowara]

@Seyeklopz Good lord, your right! It is. Though I suppose one could call it a tribute or some such.

[JiuClaw22]

This right here always made me think of running from the law with a bounty on my head and was still going to save the day like Clint Eastwood :)

[gaminggoddess85]

Rudy Roughnight: my first video game crush :3

[Lithey]

This is really one legend of a game. Brings back memories of the good old days when me and my mate from school used to sit on my bed on a Saturday, playing this, Breath of Fire III and Final Fantasy VII whilst eating cola fizz balls! Good times!

[Sielunrauha]

@Lithey

That's a pretty cool arrangement of excellent games you got there mister!

[wowgek7]

@Lithey the best ps1 game I ever played part 2 was ok but the other parts werent even close as fun as the original

[ZombieHouseFresnoCA]

@Lithey whats a cola fizz ball? is that illegal!? sounds good! \m/

[Lithey]

@ZombieHouseFresnoCA They're little round, fizzy cola sweets. I think they must also have some awesome in there too since they were indeed, just that!

[thetubeaccount]

@Lithey ah yes, the Golden Age of the RPG

[PsychoSky]

L'estasi dell'oro

[Atma505]

Awesome! I loved this as a kid and I love it now.

[TheMadness323]

easily one of the most underrated RPGs ever....gotta love ARMS....

[XxRelmxX]

it came near FF7, hard fight...

but I love it really much ! And the musics are epic !

[TheMadness323]

@XxRelmxX

I am playing it now again...this time with the (near) infinite item glitch LoL....Im already at the end...

[trantorfilms]

sisi es el ectasy of gold!!! temazo!!!

[TheLobsterWrestler]

I have the remake and the original, and I must say, even despite the weird graphics in battle and all that, the original will always be a classic.

[tsduv21]

I have the remake. Still crave for the original.

[Midgarelite]

they sell the original on PSN for 5.99 if you did not know...

[tsduv21]

I don't have a PS3.

[iatemyhands]

i just beat it on my psp...it was a great game and worth getting...

[Midgarelite]

:) heh good to hear i beat the original and is playin the remake ps2 one and seen all the changes and what is the same, and its cool cuz you get the same story but in told in a diffrent way.

[iatemyhands]

yea...i also heard thats you can play with more different characters other than the main 3?? is that true??

[Midgarelite]

@iatemyhands ya, hope I dont spoil this for you, but you can play as Jane, The Dr woman janes butler guy, and thats who I got so far... so migh be more not sure..

[iatemyhands]

nah its all good...i know i wont get a chance to play it...but thats awesome that you get a chance to play with just those 3...

[WildWestSushi]

remix of Ecstasy of Gold so cool)))

WA the best

[nero91]

I only played the demo, my first demo ever.

I had no idea what to do, lol. But this song stuck in my head forever. I still remember how you had to help that guy with the chicken in the beginning, then you go in some cave and get pwnd.

[tsduv21]

Not if you're good you don't. ;)

[Noodleiscool]

sounds like a rip off to me

[InterstellarSandbox]

Ecstasy of Gold.... ?

[TheJinxrr]

As I recall, this song was purposely written to sound like Ecstasy. An homage, I s'pose? It fit the theme of the game really well.

[InterstellarSandbox]

Yeah, it's not the exact song, there are some changes. I guess this is why I found it so familiar when I heard it on Metallica's S&M album.

[Squall8Ball]

god i miss this fucking game! dear god it has been so long since i played this game, yet i can remember all of the characters names!

[ThEdUdEzRo]

Man I want Wild Arms, too. Someone better start to make a remake or something.

[jmo1link]

A remake was made for PS2 years back, called Alter Code F

[44ch1m]

alter code f is a remake of this game

[alexzkaiser]

hh, it sounds like a happier version of Ecstasy of Gold XD

I never played WA, but he music sounds amazing

i MUST get this game

[garymaster42]

It's definitely worth getting. It's a great game with a lot of features that aren't in a lot of other RPGs. Especially for it's time, it was a great game.

[sevaryn11]

It better sound like that -- it was explicitly based on Ecstasy of Gold.

I liked the Alter Code F rendition of this song better, but this one still has a special place in my heart.

[c4pric0rn]

My first thougt too. :D

[alexzkaiser]

damn i always wanted to play the wild arms series, are they good?

[Coupleof]

Wild Arms 1 is gold.

Wild Arms 2 is silver.

Wild Arms 3 is bronze.

Wild Arms 4 silver.

Wild Arms 5 is half silver half gold.

[Nocturnal9986]

Wila arms 1 is platinum.

[Aquamaryann]

yay for japanese fantasy - western X3

[conquery]

memories OMFG!!!!

[ramzadel]

If you go into Sony's Home Guitar Hero space and watch the beginning of the Metallica video you hear the beginning of this overworld theme being sung by a girl, its really weird

[axemranger]

It's called The Ecstasy of Gold. Look it up. -.-

[ramzadel]

Why are you giving me that face? I just said it sounded like it.

[deepblue2]

This song is based on Ecstasy of Gold which was originally composed by Ennio Morricone. This is a tribute basically.

[deepblue2]

Oh, and you should watch The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Totally rocks.

[Luxai]

Let's all hum along :D

[LostMind1989]

i whistle it instead... quite often and not ashamed to say that in the shower too =D

[motherofhundreds]

Yeah hehe.. the only kind of music I whistle too is VG-music..anywhere.

I play covers, so it helps me get used to them more that way. ;)

[bmx3r101]

wow lol i posted my previous comment and read the rest of the comments

[bmx3r101]

man this game brings back soo many memories, its my all time favorite!

i noticed something too, if you watch the good the bad and the ugly, when tuco is running around the graves they play a song thats exactly like this, check it out

[kurojin97]

even jay-z bit this theme on a song on his blueprint 2 disc 2 the curse....track 7 or 8 or something....

[Tricksterknight]

you are so right, it is like a sped up version of it. either way its still epic.

[44ch1m]

of course the good, the bad and the ugly came first. the song is called ecstasy of gold and is a fantastically composed piece.

[DavyMacaroni]

Oh! So that's why my mom was always telling me that she somewhat heard that song somewhere else, everytime I was traveling on the world map!

[FatalShadowTsu]

<3 this overworld theme.

[Katana991]

I love this and the track it was loosely based on, ecstacy for gold.

[deepblue2]

It wasn't loosely based on it, it was actually inspired by it.

[shadowslider11]

One of the best over world themes ever...

[TheSeventhOrder]

I agree! ^_^

None of the Final Fantasy games can stand up to this games' overworld theme (even though most of them are pretty good too)! 'w'

[shadowslider11]

The best overworld themes are from golden sun.

[kentokae]

I love the Wild Arm Series. Western Themed games are the rarest of the bunch and add to that, most of them are not very popular.

[zolo1243]

it's amazing that no one spelled "ecstasy" right.

we should have an "ecstasy" spelling bee.

anyways, this song rules.

[RangFlash]

Sounds like "The Ecstacy of Gold"

[Katana991]

It does, but this one sounds a lot better, not that I'm saying that the other one is bad, this one just sounds a lot epic.

[RangFlash]

I agree kinda. The melody is easier to hear in this one, although the 60's one is the original.

[zolo1243]

so, if this song is actually a remix, then wouldn't the ACF version be a remix of a remix?

[RangFlash]

Haha, I guess so.

[LostMind1989]

great lovely memories thank you. i want it louder but my volume is max.. if i got to chose 1 thing to hear b4 going deaf, it would b this song

[Shotgunnova]

Oh my god, this is a total rework of "Ecstacy of Gold" from The Good The Bad and The Ugly. Not that I mind -- excellent material to use as an overworld theme, and one any western aficionado would know. G'dang, I need to get this game ASAP.

[AnimeFan19]

THANKS SOO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THESE!! i LUV THIS GAME SOOO MUCH!!! <3

[Iroseth]

Love this tune ;) and it reminds me of one of metallicas cover ;)

Lovley game!

[makaimuraR]

Metallicas cover.. the original tune that this songs recalls is "Extasy of Gold" from Ennio Morricone, not that shitty cover from a shitty band
