Best VGM 14 - Wild Arms - Port Town Theme

[XerxusExanju]

Lol, that blue rat thing must have been the inspiration for pikachu.

[zak832]

@XerxusExanju Pikachu came first.

[XerxusExanju]

@zak832 Seriously? My bad then... Wild Arms is a big Pokemon rip off!

[trickykid3000]

this is the america trying to imitate japan games. lol they did a pretty good job

[Seasune]

@trickykid3000 Wild Arms is a JRPG, not an American one.

[trickykid3000]

@Seasune wtf, your right....im sure i read somewhere that this was americas response to the jrpg craz, oh well

[IndigoVideoPal]

@Seasune Japan was so good they made a guy think it was an american game. BWUAHAAHAHA!

[captainCNB]

I'm a huge fan of wild arms and the whole series...1 and 2 are by far the best though... p.s come look at my page for cool hip hop music recorded my be, witta twist of anime in 'em....

[adambagel]

Would it be stealing if you got a song from an old game soundtrack? It doesn't seem like it..

[MrAmg128]

@adambagel It wouldn't be stealing because there is no copyright or credit.

[pkthunder5]

@FalkorrOfNSider2 Yeah, same here. It reminds me of Dark Cloud and I get the kick when i hear it, yet i have never heard of this game before. I think this calls for some Emulator justice and check this out.

[FalkorrOfNSider2]

This... this reminds me of Dark Cloud music. So very, very much. I'm getting a nostalgia kick from something i've never heard before, how is this possible?

[JiuClaw22]

wild arms is the 5th grade music that i could imagine and dream about my fantasies too.  as dorky as that sounds i was just a kid wanting to be happy.... ahh be good friends :)

[LedKenji666]

what kind of flute is used?

[kingkarson]

KING K WUZ HERE 2011

[trickykid3000]

Is there a piano rendition of this? If not there should be!!!

[203ltachl203]

i am glad i bought this off psn. even though it feels wierd playing this after beating the 2nd one which is also great, i still love it.

[NeonGlowification]

@203ltachl203 dude.. we are in the SAME EXACT place. I feel you man. Haha this and part two are DEFINITELY the best of the series!

[operazanotaijin]

Brings back memories of better days.

[contrageehard]

I've never played the game either, but it has a really unique feel that other games like ff9 and bof4 seem to also share in some of their songs.

[shadowstray1]

@kuyaPpanda cuz all people want these days r crappy first person shooters not theres anything wrong em....just.......sigh

[RadicalEdwardBK]

Don't hate me, but I believe this song's title is 'Marsh Where The Migrant Birds Gather' -- I love the Wild ARMs OST, it's just epicness~ ^_^

[Thandran]

I've never played this game... yet I'm feel nostalgia.

Wow.

[RadicalEdwardBK]

@Thandran Dood, if you can get your hands on it, you GOTTA play it, it's EPIC~!!! :3

[johnpc831]

I remember this game as the game I bought to tide me over until Final Fantasy VII was released. The game was good, but the soundtrack was completely amazing!

[krissyhansen]

SO NOSTALGIC! I'm going to play this again right now! Just finished Valkyrie Profile. lol

[UltraaNova]

This is amazing, I've never played Wild Arms, actually I did but it was like 10 years ago. The soundtrack is totally great so it will be my lead to playing the game :D

[Sanimangas]

WOAH The art is the same as Escaflowne!!!

[tholzak]

I can see the Indian street bands playing this...

[Deibodese]

I never played this one, but I remember walking around Clyde's hometown in the third game, planting bombs to the beat.

[tribble608]

Wow, this soundtrack really IS awesome.

[danxiie]

i wish i could make music like this T_T so nostalgic! I want to buy the ost cd

[Rowain]

shame the rest of the series got progressively worse. they don't game music like this anymore.

[xMoJox]

The first time I EVER played Wild Arms was when I downloaded off the PSN store. What a great choice that was!

[MSaint]

Yay I'm the 67,000th viewer.

[Pianoninja924]

VGMs....Who ever you are, you have excellent taste in video game music! I feel like we're totally on the same page of what makes good and memorable video game music. I think I'll be referring to you for suggestions for video game piano arrangements. :)

[dtdshow]

I have been going through @SupraDarky lists of game music and only played a couple of them like Chrono Cross, Zelda, and Yoshi's Island. Some of the Final Fantasies. But ever time I come across a game I never heard of, I read the comments. Now, I am really starting to think maybe I should buy some of these games just to experience the thrills.

[Ultimateunit34]

This music was the best when I first played it at my Uncle's house as a kid visiting familys and friends. Now, few years... I have thought of trying to get the original Wild Arms playstation game since I really haven't beat it. Lol

This song touch my heart as I close my eyes visauling of flying around the world in peace. (Left hand thumb up.)

[pachacho]

This is one of the best games i've ever played...and the soundtrack is just amazing

I love this game

[jmo1link]

The PS1 days were truly a golden age for JRPGs. :)

[Bolt892]

@jmo1link try snes and you're right.

[jmo1link]

@Bolt892 The snes gave them a great start, with titles like Chrono Trigger, FF2, Lufia, and the list just goes on.

[MrThomVD]

@jmo1link SNES was the best.

[lilamah]

@MrThomVD That's been one of the biggest gaming controversies for a very long time.

How about we make a compromise and just go with the 90's? ;)

[MrThomVD]

@lilamah I agree. PS1 RPGs are fantastic too. FF9 is tied with Chrono Trigger and FF6 for my all time favorite RPG.

[AngelusDubs]

love port town theme <3 i have a question....do you have the music which can be heard when your on the "press the button to start" screen after the intro of the game? ._. its not on the OST ;_;

[ThanatosDW]

This song really touched my heart ... it feels good :)

[RonCrafton1989]

I have Wild Wrms 1 on PSN and Wild Arms 3 for PS2 I have overlooked this series for a while and I decided to give it a chance and see what its about I feel bad I didnt get into it sooner I had always heared about just didnt buy it. As a man who likes RPGS I should be ashamed T-T

[Koroigetsuga87]

music to my ears

[TalesOfGod]

If anyone here likes the music and has a psp or ps3 buy the game for only $5.99 off of playstation network, you won't regret it. XD (Also hacking your psp will cause it to break, I had experience with this before T_T so I reccomend buying it).

[SuperMario811]

Ha! Port Town! They should have called Port Town in F-Zero "New Port Town"! LOL Wild Arms is such an overlooked game. I wish more people would appreciate it....

[gaminggoddess85]

I have so many memories of Wild Arms... both good and bad. A good memory was that it was the game that got me into RPGs when I was but a budding gamer at the tender age of 12... and a bad memory was the %*&#@!$ De La Metallica dungeon. I was stuck in that place for YEARS before GameFAQs came along =.=

[chapacoka]

@gaminggoddess85 Ah De La Metallica...how I hate you so. I was surprised anyone could figure it out with no help whatsoever.

[gaminggoddess85]

@chapacoka I know right! Seriously! Even today I still can't figure out the puzzle on my own, and I've beaten the game like 5 times ~_~ I wonder if Altercode: F still has that puzzle?

[chapacoka]

@gaminggoddess85 It does unfortunately though I'm too lazy to check if its exactly the same...the one in Altercode: F is just as annoying especially if you do this one part wrong. Best advice: Multiple saves and save often. Devoted an entire memory card to that one dungeon.

[chapacoka]

@gaminggoddess85 That is if you decide to do it blind using no help from GameFAQs

[XXXXNanoXXXxxx]

OOOO shit amazing fucking song LOL

[godallahjesusify]

God I haven't played this shit in like, like, 9, 10 years? Well I have no time now to play, I'm a busy adult. Man I miss getting all stoned and full of pizza and playing this.. And I think that one windy sandy hill is based on the town I live in now.

[N00bkeek]

Really heavy heavy dark cloud feeling on this track

[DraconianSilenced]

@N00bkeek I got the exact same vibe xD

[azulichigo]

Who composed this piece?

[Elyon]

@azulichigo It was composed by Music Goddess Michiko Naruke. She's been responsible for most of the series' music, at least until the last two games.

[Viikinki666]

@Elyon She didnt compose 5 at all, which is fine since the game was sucky anyway. But agreed she is definetly the Goddess of Music!

[Xpanderulz]

i wish this song can be extended :D

[vinijdc]

Wild Arms is one of the most amazing games i've ever played. The songs are awesome. Port Town Theme + Town Theme are the best in my opinion.

[weglarz]

@vinijdc Don't forget the intro theme... amazing.

[bushwhacker2k]

Man I wanna play Wild Arms now, I only played it for about an hour around 10-12 years ago :D

[XXXXNanoXXXxxx]

@bushwhacker2k y dont u get this game again then lol?

also get a PSP, HACK IT and play ALL the ps1 games u miss out !!!!!

[yamina123]

Wild Arms is such a great game with awsome music.

I could listen to this for houres ^^

[WannabeG00D]

wow this is really good music O.o

[nastynate3163]

And this song has been stuck in my head since I made my previous comment...XD

[nastynate3163]

I literally haven't played in this game in 11 years, and yet I was able to hum along to the whole song. Weird O_o

[zenjiros]

@nastynate3163 You were able to hum along to the whole song after not hearing it for 11 years because, back in the era when Wild Arms came out, composers still crafted music that was so good, it would stick with you for the rest of your life. I am sad to say that these days, music like this is rarely created.....

[2Cents]

Seriously...thank you for posting. This was the most haunting melody of the game, so much so that I'm still humming it some 15 years later. Thanks again.

[SuperNintendoCrew21]

I still have the Dire Dire Docks theme in my head and I haven't heard it since I was 4, 9 years ago.

[zenjiros]

@2Cents Me too 2Cents! I first heard this song in the late summer of '97, and still hum it to this day! Music that is so good that it will have you still humming it 15 years later is exceedingly rare these days..... It makes me sad....

[TalesOfGod]

I think i saw this game in a store nearby two weeks ago :O *gets in car and drives 175 Km per hour*

[ElTrain61]

All of the town themes were good, but this was definitely my favorite.

[Xpanderulz]

thanks for sharing , i love wild arms very much, Those brings memories :D

Feel happy to heard this music

[tharob]

loved this game. i bought it a few days after it came out. i remember the guy in the store telling me that he heard that it sucked. boy was he wrong.

[BLBDart]

That always happens to me. The guy always says the game I'm buying sucks.

I don't understand why.

[wolfguard7]

LOL, curse you guy in a store, curse yoouuu!! ;)

[restlys]

nice try salesmanship

[SlamDancinMoogle]

This is why I never read reviews, I never listen to anyone's opinion, and I get a game simply because my gut tells me it's going to kick ass. it's what made me pick up earthbound, it's what made me buy this, and it's what made me check out parasite eve.

Gut's always right :P

[Haishao]

@SlamDancinMoogle If Earthbound and Parasite Eve is where your gut takes you, you should listen to it for the rest of your life.

[zenjiros]

@SlamDancinMoogle Amen to that.... My gut used to always steer me towards the Squaresoft titles of old.... It does so no longer. By the way ---- I love your username!

[Haishao]

@tharob When I was a little kid, I went to buy an SNES game (Mechwarrior) and Mr. Behind-The-Counter guy dissuaded me by telling me it was too hard, and it sucked anyway. I tried and loved it at a friend's, and subsequently became a huge Armored Core fan later. Can you believe, something like 17 years later, I still remember and resent him? If someone had convinced me the same of Wild ARMs, I firmly believe I would have missed out on an irreplaceable part of my childhood.

[DarkJDL]

yeah, everyday people are not reliabe gaming sources. expecially when they don't know what you like.

[zenjiros]

@Haishao Well said Haishao!

[jubjub321]

@tharob he probably wanted the game for himself hahah

[JohnnyLeyenda]

@tharob

Happened the same to my brother when he got it.

[awesomegamevids]

@tharob Unfortunately, a lot of douchebags work in game stores. It's gotten better over the years, but you still get em occasionally.

[gunslingerfry]

@tharob Wild Arms 3 was kinda disappointing though... I finished WA2 and I think 1 as well but could not get into 3.

[TifaLuva]

I use to just enter this town and let the game run just to listen to this music ;D

[fradanses]

@TifaLuva i did the same!!!!

[zenjiros]

@TifaLuva I know exactly what you mean. I have posted on other video game soundtrack video pages on YouTube what I am about to say now: When a song in a game is so good that it causes you to stop just to enjoy the music, and makes you return to the part of the game where the music plays just so you can listen to that song again, you just know that music is something special. I miss the days when such music could be found in many games.... They truly do not make game music like they used to.

[gmrpg2]

WA1 best by FAR!!!! 2 is second.

[DarkJDL]

this game was sooooo goood. I recommend it to anyone who likes rpg

[SwordSaint892]

God, Wild Arms 1 music was SO GOOD.

[bushwhacker2k]

Before Best VGMs I've never heard this before (I think) but it has SUCH a nostalgic feeling...

[SupraDarky]

Yep, Wild Arms has a pretty magical soundtrack.

[DavyMacaroni]

Thanks to Michiko Naruke, she's a great musician.

[Whatever4690]

Crap i remember this game,and all the tunes.

So many games played,so much of crap like this filling my mind.

Wonder how much hardrive space the human brain has.

[halfway01]

so nostalgic !!!!

[YiYaEmperor]

The Charakters look like from Escaflowne^^ Hitomi (left), Van (right), Allen (back)!

[toddrocks]

Dont ruin it like that.....

[CyborgBoy17]

just awesome

[POOPtard69]

This makes my head hurt

[Kuganurio]

then don't listen to it -_-

[bushwhacker2k]

ARGH Wild Arms has good music!

[bushwhacker2k]

God, sometimes it's hard to believe such music exists.

[FunkyKarim93]

Man, where can i dowload this ? I searched everywhere but i didn't find it.

Gotta help me please.

[yoshikid360]

You can download the Youtube MP3 Converter. Search it on Google. :]

[FunkyKarim93]

I don't want that crappy quality.

I already know the Youtube MP3 Converter.

[DarkSilverCraig]

you're still looking for this? I think I can send it to you

[FunkyKarim93]

Thanks, SupraDarky sent me a link for download the track ;)

[DarkSilverCraig]

Uploading it, I'll send it to you in a phew minutes.

[FunkyKarim93]

I told you, SupraDarky already sent it to me. Thanks for your help and sorry for the poor english.

[DarkSilverCraig]

hauhauhau XD sorry me, it was me who didn't read well XD i feel idiotic now XD well Its not like if I killed someone, so there's no problem, just lets not tell anyone 'bout this (?)

[Sielunrauha]

Game Music Hall might have it but you have to register to be able to download. You should check that out.

[BeelTheBub]

Galbadia Hotel

Google it.

[NotTooWellKnown]

The only turnoff you can give for this game is the graphics, which while I wasn't expecting much since this was basically a PS release game, were just awful to look at.

But once you move past that you have a solid story with a balanced battle system.

[KarlTheStampede]

i thought they were good

the 3d battle sequences and the battle camera really made the action fun to watch

[kenshinro7]

This game is highly underrated. This was the second rpg I owned before the great FF7. I think what happened was FF7 over shined wildarms because they both came out one after the other, wildarms was first then ff7. But I beat wildarms several times still one of my favorite rpgs along with ff7.

[guitarist1609]

What a game this was...

[bushwhacker2k]

Yey

[Meishali]

This...

Just make me wanna turn my Playstation one on.

[gurshu12]

Haven't heard THIS in awhile.

Ah, memories...

[DavidSmith5050]

Despite being outdated, the music was orchastrated in the beginning scenes.

I condsider it to have best music of the series.

Furthermore, having beaten 1, 2 and 3, I'd say they died a bit in the epic department after the original.

[ZAR3M]

great game ever!

just sadly i only got the first release

i've heard stories that wild arms 3 is the best one... i must have 'em all!!!

[rya494]

The first Wild Arms? Exceedingly great.

The second? Truly masterful.

The third? Pretty good.

The fourth? Saddens me how crappy it is.

[shenloken2]

Oh Wild Arms...how tragically overlooked you are. ;_;

[Nigrantis]

You got that right ...

[ClassicVGM]

Haven't heard this is quite awhile. Great stuff!

[jagx234]

The music alone makes the Wild Arms series my favorite. Let alone the awesome stories. Oldie but still one of the best, imho.

[RukiYakutoshi16]

Aw Man! You miss the "Courage" it is the best sound too.

[liamthelion182]

I've been looking for this for the longest time, I knew there was another town theme...

[Anitube]

Second Wild Arms song I see on your list, and the music is good to boot! I have a copy, I don't know where it came from but it's in my collection somehow and I might pick it up now. Thanks!

[emalanchuk2008]

After listening to 1, these sound very similar, with the flute and similar pacing and beats. But I really like the synchronized flutes.

[Hyperfighter3]

Love the music from this game! Oh wow, I really have to check this game out.. Oh, wait, I don't own a PSX... Maybe if I find a PS3 with backwardscombpility?

[Shakiethebiggun]

all ps3s play psx games. just the newr ones wont play PS2 games

[chianara]

The style of drawing of that cover reminds me of the anime 'Vison Of Escaflowne'. Maybe it is the same illustrator.

[gasto5]

Amazing music, name of the composer, please?

[8thConcerto]

Michiko Naruke.

[gasto5]

thanks

[chucabravp]

this song has been replaying itself over and over in my head in an infinite loop for over 2 weeks now. i've tried listening to other catchy songs but nothing helps, it keeps comming back..all day! and just when the flutes fade out and i think it might be over.. the bassline kicks in, doom doo-doo doom doo-doo doom. don't get me wrong, its a very nice song, but for gods sake go away!!

[OttoManic]

ROFL! =)

[kurojin97]

lol!! I heard THAT!!!

[theluigiteam543]

Oh no, now it'll be stuck in MY head too...

[rweecky86]

toon too tototoooo tooo totoooo toootoooo toototooto

amazing, Wild ARMs forever

[olliejay22]

been lookin for this theme for a hot minute now!!!

[Toomnyusernae]

. . . . I'm gonna have to listen to all the tracks now, thanks a bundle_^)

[distr0ia]

hell yes

what a simple catchy bassline won't do

[SolonWise]

I love theses songs from the old good games. Actually, i used the most of Wild Arms songs on my RPG Maker XP game. It fits perfectly.

[cupofcustard]

A man after my own heart!

Personally I prefer using music from Fallout 1&2

[Calamaistr]

the fucking best town-theme in the history of gaming.

[iluvjumblies]

This sounds almost identical to 01. It's not bad, it's just... too similar.

[krazzzzzzi]

In 01 i am searching the new beginning, in this i have found it! now what do i do with it?

[mrgrimviking]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah love this ditty!

[hyperknees91]

Hmm this art reminds me of vision of escaflowne art.

Big noses/similar faces, maybe it's just me though.

[kakuism]

Its weird, but they don't look like that at all. I'm guessing thats just some weird OST cover art... but yeah. Even in the opening they don't look like that.

[kralle333]

Reminds of a song from Rune factory for the DS

[zolo1243]

he looks cute, nonetheless.

[Tricksterknight]

Lets hear it for Milama Village!

[Kickflip91]

oh i love wild arms.

can somebody help me? i kept stuck in that dark library after the purple headed boy lost his arm...how am i gonna do this?

[AnimeFan19]

best game ever plan an simple <3

[Shotgunnova]

<3 <3 <3
