  • the best ever and ever... so deep, masterpiece in entertainment history, non only a game, but an experience.

  • ahhhh fuck!!!!! i loved this game but got stuck early!!! had a problem with jumping on those mountain cliff thingys close to the beggining of the game.....every gameplay i watched had no problem with it it was just me. I seriously almost cried cuz i once i started playing i got hooked and uggghh i cant even think about it.

  • i'v been a fan of final fantasy since the early 90s and i'd love to see alot of them remastered with better CG but i learned about this gem of a game a few years ago and i can honestly say this game needs to be remade first and foremost. i know they made the xenosaga games but they didnt have a great as impact as this game did....if this was remade it would sale big simply because every thing about it was great....the caracters, the battles, the story was epic.

  • I could say dat xenogears final fantasy 7 chronotrigger/cross were the best games on ps1

  • @DarkXLaharl and ironicly all made by square soft :)

  • @DarkXLaharl u forget final fantasy tactics!!

  • @DarkXLaharl Don't forget Final Fantasy Tactics.

  • This is peaceful,smooth,great fantasy song

    makes me think of being in a magic forest dancing,or even better in a paradise

  • Hmm....the PlayStation was my first console growing up, yet I've never played this, is it any good? Can it match Tomba, Lunar, or Megaman X 4 in overall fun?

  • @TheUltimateCrash1990 Xenogears is what you could call a classic. It's not the same as Lunar or Megaman and I never heard of Tomba, but long story short, its definitely a good investment if you wish to purchase and play this game. Make no mistake about that!

  • Video games used to be a thing of magic and fantasy and new worlds. Now they're just.... I don't even know what they are now.

  • @XularusXIII its commerialism, it takes over anything that has the potential to be popular with the masses. Games are now the in thing, people lose weight thanks to them, relieve stress and pretty much everything but have a meaningful experience through them as an art form.

    Games must now cater to all folkgroups, mainstream and hardcore and must not offend a single soul, thus alot of the focus goes from music and pacing and storytelling and more to bang for your buck, gimmicks etc.

  • One of the most known legends among all RPGs and it definitely deserves that title!

  • The GOD OF ALL RPG GAMES!!!!

  • :3 this reminds me of being little and playing the Xenogears demo that came with the FF8 demo.

  • holy shit I haven't heard this in years it feels so good

  • This brings me so much tears....in my late teens I loved this game soooo much...even girls like me find this game sooo beautiful and amazing.

  • I finally got this game at a reasonable price, and am playing through for the first time and the music alone makes me feel this will be well worth it. Plus, I'm studying psychology and heard there are elements of Jung and Freud's theories in the storyline so I have a slight chub in sheer anticipation.

  • This tune /melody can make any heart dance.

  • @PantheraAtrox

    yes sister , means alot :'(

  • @IBroLLyISePhIrOtH, understood.

    

  • I was looking for 13 years, thanks for uploading comrade, means a lot, way too for me, my family RIP, miss them so much, 1998: (

  • Xenogears remake anyone?? I reckon that would sell more than that fucking FFVII remake......I would still buy it though xD

  • my manly tears are running down my cheeks right now..

  • This song make me shed manly tears whenever I listen to it.

  • Finally bought the soundtrack at Comic-Con after being a big fan of the game since its initial release. Probably my favorite song here, wow.

  • That was.. kind of boring ^^

  • Anyone who likes this song should check out katethegreat's interpretation. It's amazing!

  • feel free to check out my "cover" for this track. you can find it as a video-reply to this video, or just look for "rpgmusictribute bonds of sea and fire" and you'll find it. hope you enjoy :) thanks

  • I was only able to experence such a awsome RPG by using an emulator, and im saddend that the company cut the budget short on disk 2. they would have made a shit load of money, If only I had known about this title sooner :(

  • KING K WUZ HERE 2011

  • i listen to this song every night i go to sleep..

  • Played this game when I was eight years old. Played through several times as a child growing up, grasping more and more of the deep philosophy as I grew older. Very much treasured the characters and a story that forced you to think about ethics and metaphysics.

    Thank you, Tetsuya Takahashi.

    Pay attention in school, kiddie.

  • @Scarecrow2004 Hey just trying to help you pass next time you try for a GED.

  • @TheOneTrueAnthemis

    I already graduated and went to college smart ass. It's not like you ever made a mistake in writing something right? Even the best writers make grammar errors one in a while.

  • @Scarecrow2004 In a format where you were unable to stop and review your text before it was entered, I would agree with you. Unfortunately, this is a format where you can stop and review your text before it is entered. Given the circumstances, I don't think the best writers would make a mistake. In fact, I don't think that most college students would even make that mistake, which I feel throws your claim of being a college educated person into question.

  • Atleast our childhood/teenage life was saved by games like these, memories we can cherish for years to come, i pity tennage/child gamers of today ruined by dudebro culture

  • Man, what happened to Square? I used to love them soooo much in my childhood. :(

  • I dont know why people are even mentioning Square Enix. This Game is the Cult Classic of the Golden Age of Gaming!!

    

  • yeah, squaresoft was poisoned by enix

  • You know a good song when it needs nothing else. I've heard this more than I've played the game. It stands alone. Absolutely beautiful.

  • just give me a great turn-based rpg with a phenomenal story anyday, what's with all these action rpg hybrids nowadays?

  • @wunderbeast New generation has a much shorter attention span and lacks intuition that the majority of the older generations had when playing a new game. It's a shame for sure.

  • @wunderbeast Yes! I bought Super Paper Mario thinking it'd be like the GCN version I'd loved so much. It's crap in comparison. I ended up getting the original on virtual console instead. It's head and shoulders above the Wii version.

  • @gunslingerfry yeah i had to sell super paper mario cuz i got bored with it. the n64 version was great but the 1000 year old door is my personal favorite for sure!

  • the layelectone perfected this song :)

  • is it me or this sounds like that song in oblivion :P

  • @ChrisDC1992 lol i sorta hear it LOL HAHA

  • #1 PS game of all time. I miss you sqauresoft and enix.... :'(

  • @jetser24

    It's kinda sad... video game music can be as good as movie soundtracks (it all depends on the composer's talent, really). I remember someone saying that he played Rose of May (from FF9) before his teachers at a conservatory. At first, the teachers were all "It's beautiful." and then this person told them it was from a video game and all of sudden, the teachers began to retract. Some people are clearly fixated on not recognizing VG's artistic value for some dumb reason.

  • @RadicalDreamer17 Those teachers need some lessons. I was taking piano lessons early this year, one day I brought some sheet music with me so my teacher could play it for me and give me some tips for playing. I told him it was from a videogame (SH2 - Theme of Laura), he played it horribly on purpose, saying that it didn't make sense and was not what "real" musicians should play. Needless to say I asked for a teacher change, and then send him a link to VideoGames Live.

  • memory overloaded!

  • I don't think a game soundtrack will ever surpass Xenogears...never, not even something from Mitsudas own hands....

  • @Millahtime I really love Xenogears soundtrack, but I have to say that Chrono Trigger' soundtrack is up to par.

  • I love this song just the way it is. To me it is perfect no need for lyrics/words. ~_~ Must go play Xenogears again.

  • This tune keeps my demons at bay....it keeps my dark side from wanting to lash out and reminding me that there is great beauty in humanity....connecting....belo­nging....harmony...

  • @korrbarrett You should check out "Myth". It's a CD that came out in 2009/2010 and features a fantastic version of the most known Xenogears songs - played by an orchestra.

  • Comment removed

  • @Xerosch Sounds interesting but was unable to locate any music track by that name.

  • @korrbarrett Just search for "xenogears myth bonds" on YouTube and you'll get right to the orchestra version ;)

  • Never heard of this game yet again enjoyed the music.

  • way before Squaresoft ever joined Enix, this was it :).

  • You can't always count on SE for good games but you can count on them for top-notch music. This is the way it has always been and the way it will always be.

  • @jetser24 Haha, yea.. "Oh that's so beatiful, what's it from!?" . "Final Fantasy 10" . 'Oh...I didn't like it that much..."

  • id used his chi blast on 5 people

  • i feel like this tune was in chrono cross too

  • so beautiful, i love 0:45 to 1:26 the most...

  • SO apparently this melody came to Mitsuda during a dream.

  • ah memories... i wonder hows fei doin. lol

  • Can't even describe the feeling this song brings about. It's kind of nostalgia...but on the other hand, it just feels like my youth in general. Spent more time listening to it outside of the game than in. Absolutely beautiful.

  • ahh reminds me of when i was tuning up the gears and almost never wanted to stop

  • always shivering when i hear this. just epic in every tone!

  • Yggdrasil for the win.

  • i think i like kate the great 19's version better

  • its funny because i only bought xenogears this year, and i am HUGE on video game music. I was instantly captivated by the music in this game when i heard this....i hadn't realized that yasunori mitsuda was the composer, who composed chrono trigger, still my favorite soundtrack in any game, but this game's music, and even the game itself, are just so incredible that i wish i had the privilege to play it when it first came out.

  • @theleast100seconds

    A game TELLS you it's awesome if it's price at the game store is STILL 60 bucks after 3 years. Too bad the greatest hits came out for it, the value would be MUCH higher than it is now. (Up side is more people had gotten to play this masterpiece of a game.)

    The soundtrack is my favorite soundtrack ever for game music. (Hell, even more than most movie scores, sans Hans Zimmer's works.)

  • OMG this is sooo nostalgic. I can't portray the feeling.......................­.......

    ohmmmmmmmmmm ohmmmmmmmm

  • Xenogears has some of the best music (of all music) I have ever heard. It is also the best game I have ever played.

  • What's more incredibly fascinating is how he was inspired and wrote this song, among many other epic songs of his legacy.

    He'd fall asleep in his chair at the studio with everything running, and a melody would come to him in his dreams.

    I'd say it really gives indication as to why those songs always sound so surreal and dreamlike. :D

  • @SigmaSymmetry

    SO true. I used to just sit there and listen to each theme that rolled up in-game for hours at a time because the song were so incredible. I remember the first time I heard the battle theme and the creepy whispering. Sent shivers up my spine I was so blown away.

  • I loved this game back in the day. It is sad my copy of it broke.

  • @lordquasar its coming to PSN within this few weeks. :)

  • @Astroranagun SERIOUSLY??????????????????

  • I used to just let the joystick down and listen to this music non stop while playing the game :) Yasunori Mitsuda is a real genius.

  • This song is so beautiful! And katethegreat19's version is beautiful too ^.^

  • Anybody that's know anything about this game knows it's one of the best!!!!! I still have my original copy I refuse to sell.

  • Yasunori Mitsuda, I have the soundtrack and Orchestra versions on cd , I bought in 2001

  • the best history on a rpg game ever

  • Anyone else see (yes hear ofc :P ) the similarity to golden sun in this?

  • This reminds me of Schala's Theme quite a bit.

  • Never heard this or played the game, but it's gorgeous. There's so much emotion in it. At the same time it seems to have a sense of urgency. Love it!

  • Xenogears, Chrono Cross, FFVI, that's where it's at for me.

  • Square Enix...the kings of rpgs.

  • Squaresoft was the king of RPG... Square enix is not

    don't tell me it's the same cause it's not you know what i'm saying

  • @Newsted25 don't forget they did lose the Xeno story to namco

  • @Newsted25 its not that Square Enix doesnt make only bad games but I know where youre comming from. The games made by Square alone beat the ones Square Enix made

  • @Newsted25

    Amen.

  • @Newsted25 sigh, so much of my youth wasted away on Square games. I guess I have square-enix to thank for not wasting my adulthood, sadly. 

  • I totally agree with you on this. Sqauresoft was king, enix ruined so much.

  • @Newsted25 Amen...

    

  • whats wrong with the gaming companies these days, how come theres no good rpgs like this anymore?

  • try Lost Odyssey for the 360, it is not on XG's level (which is very hard anyway) but nonetheless a nice RPG, where you can see the developers put some heart in it.

  • thx ill take note of that.

  • This game is my numero uno.

    Has been since I beat it way back when and I doubt will ever come down from the top of list. FFVI is a close second.

  • I remember hearing this somewhere....

    was this game packed as a demo with Parasite Eve?

  • Yes.

  • stand tall and shake the heavens. thus.

  • i cant help but think:

    Sonoyo lomi lo

    Kaya shaka lu

    Kiya ba mali malo

    Ehdra maki e

    Sulu haiteh

    Graiya mi eshi eshi e

  • Ehvi liu ma dra u Prehshti ka u Toteh saju Kimi va lei lei lu Olo dragu olo dragu Aveh No luneh vali usa Nevu usa mali Noleh sulu baleh sulu baleh Aveh No lu nehvali usa Nevu usa mali malo... lyrics by katethegreat19
  • ok that fine wow kate the great wrote words to this song she did not however write this song this was done by the genius yasunori mitsuda and music is harder than lyrics buddy alot harder

  • whats troll fav food?

  • Fair enough, but the lyrics above is nonsense anyway (it was a language made-up by her to sound good). So, what made her version memorable actually is the gorgeous arrangement (aka. "music") that is at least on par with Mitsuda's.

  • sorry dude the first person to write this song was yasunori and wow someone came up with a good arrangement of the song if you already have that song to go off it wouldnt be as hard as writing the song in the first place and no her version isnt even close an arrangement of an original song will never be as good because its not the original and ive heard her song and it does not rival this song even a little

  • A good arrangement, especially one that takes the original to a different direction, is actually pretty hard to write. I never said that her arrangement is close in style with Mitsuda, but rather close in quality.

    "will never be as good because its not the original" does not make any sense. Case and point, Bob Dylan's vs Jimi Hendrix's vs Bear McCreary's "All Along the Watchtower."

  • If you listen to her version, you'll notice its a very well done arrangement. Not just tacked in lyrics but a completely performed version of the music.

  • I've never played Xenogears. Always wanted too. This tears it. I'm getting it

  • WHAT?!?!?!?! 2d Sprites in 3d environment games are SO THE BEST!

  • I agree. It's a style that's not really used anymore, too. I've played all the old Square PS1 RPGs but this one. Just never had the time

  • my proposition to you if you have a pc download PSX emulator write me a postcard i copy you my version in to .iso and send over :)

  • One of the best RPGs on the PSOne for sure. Probably one of the most underrated in my mind. It isn't a polished as something like Chrono Trigger but it is epic! The battle system is also awesome!

  • dude you will love the game its the best rpg

  • the first game to make me baw ;_;

    I'll never forget it it's my all time favorite

  • Godly in its simplicity

  • best gme evr.....

  • I first heard this song back in 1998 when was 16 now i am 26 just brings back memories of the old days of gaming.

  • I know what you mean I wish I was that young kid again....

  • Goosebumps..

  • 5 star + fav + share

  • I don't mean to advertise, but

    katethegreat19's version is absolutely a must-see. It should be down in the Related Videos. This is an awesome song! Love it!

  • @wkunzelman1 YOU ALWAYS ADVERTISE THAT DAMN VIDEO

  • @MrCaduceo Lol. XD

  • @wkunzelman1 thank you for letting us know that awesome version

  • This track almost makes me cry, pure nostalgia kicking in ...

  • amen lol

  • Wow I played this game when I was 15 years old, now I'm 24 and I still remember how great this game was and still is, memories are a beautiful thing ;') "A world without music like this is like a world without oxygen"..........XENOGEARS FOREVER.

  • Heh, just about the same deal with me actually. I got the game for my 16th birthday, at 25, I'm gearing up for my (at least once) annual Xenogears playthrough, a tradition I've held ever since that fateful day I received it, 9 years ago.

    The soundtrack is outright enchanting, let alone, just about every other aspect of the game as well. This is one of (if not THE) the very best RPGs ever made. I love it through and through.

  • Simply goosebumps... This journey (i just can't call it "game") changed my life.

  • I have this song in my mp3 collection. Man, it's such beautiful theme.

  • Damn. The Playstation was a god among RPG game systems...i need to play this game again ASAP! effin college.

  • Xenogears has one the best soundtracks ever I dare say. And the songs are so much better when you've played the game as well, adds alot of atmosphere you wouldn't think of if you never played the game. The game is a true masterpiece.

  • indeed.. it's because they're done by the great game BGM composer Yasunori Mitsuda.. and I look forward to RPGs w/ bgms composed by him^^

  • Supradarky, you should add "Awakening" to the list... one of the best tunes of this game...

  • If not the best

    This tune is just pure greatness

  • dont compare xenosaga to xenogears cause xenogears is one of the best rpg game there is u know and has one of the best music in rpg so dont ever compare xenosaga

  • Xenogears is just overall one of the best games ever created. Everything about it I loved.

  • Very emotional and beautiful...Xenogears had one of the best storylines ever in a game IMO...

  • xenogears had one of the best everything in a game XD

  • Xenogears is the best! this song is one of my favourite! ^_^d

  • this song has so much emotion...

  • one of the most epicist songs on the planet<33333

  • Xenogears. _THE_ best game ever created

  • High Quality version, please))

  • this song is like a new beginning. it sounds so innocent. it is a blade of grass that will never dry out surrounded by a desert.

  • Wow. Thats a very good description my friend

  • This game is one of the best of all time

  • I really like this music. For some reason it sounds perfect for a forest dungeon.

  • The Xenogears Creid version of this is even more amazing.

  • I really need to play Xenogears

  • ^^ play Xenosaga before or after for the full story

  • Xenosaga was made by Namco...eff that game.

  • lol???

  • it was meant to be a reply to another comment....oops.

  • you speak truth brotha and yes kurosawa is god

  • it doesnt matter because it had the PEOPLE from xenogears working on it. The company name doesnt mean shit.

  • Except that the Saga games were stupid as all hell.

  • So ar you. You can't even seem to write a complete sentence.
