Final Fantasy XIII-2: Lightnings Battle Theme

[bbam2007]

Every time I hear this theme whenever I'm going into a battle, apart of me is like, "Mustn't kill the enemy too quickly! This theme is TOO epic!!! Damn you, Noel & Serah! Too powerful!!!" lol

[Calcifer222]

the best song of the game

[GCrimsonAngel]

Love this Game and Music...

[hegotaspare]

0:52 The guitars are awesome! Love that part.

[Skyragansal]

Anyone know the title from the somg where you re in the portals?

[balefire20]

this is why other contries are beating us

[IanThunderbolt]

I like how in game, the song doesn't stop and go into the victory theme, by the time I finish the battle it's its in the epic part and act like a victory theme in itself.

[Kane917]

Noel and Serah's voices combine while falling over Noel's home land "We're gonna save the future!" I tear at that scene.

[nuniruro1515]

Shit, this made me wanna buy this.

[NANOFORGE]

Noel "Is it over"

Lightning "Gonna get worse"

[Phisixdude]

The beginning part with with the trumpet sounds, sounds a bit a part from the Chrono Trigger boss 1 music.

[XangelofdeathX07]

Knight of the Goddess BITCH !

Thundaga !

[FantasygirlIX]

@XangelofdeathX07 lolololo, :']

[FantasygirlIX]

soo awesome!!omgomg! :D

[IndraVII]

The bass groove (I think it's a cello) gives me a massive boner

[terran236]

@IndraVII yea hamauzu is very technical, groovy and jazzy as opposed to nobuo's more simple poppy yet very accessible style.

[IndraVII]

@terran236 You couldn't have said it better.

[IndraVII]

Uematsu or not, Hamauzu blows me away every time.

And he's definitely better than the other 2 composers for this ost!

[irelandcool1]

@IndraVII He got it from working with Uematsu allot

[IndraVII]

@irelandcool1 I bet! Uemastu has AMAZING bass work. Both of these artists are huge inspirations to me.

[Kirbyluver2]

Just found out about this game, and so far from the soundtrack that i've heard, i HAVE to get this game. Looks incredible!

[MrExerionz]

Odin!!!

[ViralZen]

Im thinking about getting this....but after ffxiii disappointment and seeing how ffx - ffx-2 went, im not sure...thumbs me up if i should get it

[KURAI1591]

@ViralZen You should, they fixed all the crap they messed up in FFXIII

[Bulconmark3]

@ViralZen you should get it, I hated FXIII because of the battle/exploration/level up system, and because if they changed a couple of small things it could have been great. They fixed almost all of those, and the battle system is more smooth, the graphics are a little better, you are free to return to areas throughout the entire game and roam, and you the class and leveling system doesn't limit you.

[viet411]

To be honest, this piece has to be one of the better pieces in the score.

[TheBuffaloafer]

@viet411 Yeah, I was disappointed in the soundtrack too. A lot of the songs were just too poppy or had shitty lyrics about changing the world all the time.

[viet411]

@TheBuffaloafer I still want this game though, just not sure if it's worth 65$ for....I mean, I loved FFXIII. It wasn't the best FF game, but it still had the magic, and the music was superb. Just this game, not entirely sure if it's actually worth spilling the cash over when there are tons of other games to get. Still, I do want the soundtrack for this track... :/

[ThundagaFTW]

@viet411 I bought it used for 40$, and it was/is worth that and more.

[ledzelda9]

is it wrong to think lightning is sexy

[jelloboy922]

@ledzelda9 nope. not at all.

[NERIFES88]

@ledzelda9 nope. not at all

[KillerBee572]

This almost makes me wanna get the game..almost.

[theflameboy18]

@KillerBee572 dudee u better this game is gona be epic your crazy if you dont especially if you call yourself a final fantasy fan if a new one comes out you gota get it

[KillerBee572]

@theflameboy18 WEll to be honest with ya, the only reason i don't actually want the game is because of the way the first one ended. Without fang, vanille, i just can't play this one. I might if i know what happened to snow, sazh and hope. tell me that. And i'll consider.

[theflameboy18]

@KillerBee572 they are still there you didnt see the trialers with them in it? snow is still there sazh is still there he just shows up later and hope is alot older but it doesnt make sense to noto get a game just because they took out some characters and besides who knows they might show up at some point even after what happened at the end of 13

[Stradivarius8457]

My God, I never thought I would be able to enjoy Final Fantasy music again after Uematsu left, but this new guy is producing some stellar stuff.

[ZxxeBx]

Sounds like Resident Evil 2 theme!!

[camilacachito2929]

why just 1:12 D: is too short!!! Y U NO LONGER!!! ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

[hegotaspare]

Yay! Blinded by Light remix.

[MrExerionz]

0:26 - 0:39

that part..make me feels like "i will done on something successfully that i dreamed for long time ago"

[TheEgotisticDelirium]

God, this is awesome. It's like Blinded by Light Part 2. :bd

[TheMeezProductions]

@TheEgotisticDelirium I wonder what it would be like if we put the two songs together, playing exactly one after the other. Perhaps overlapping a little. A great remix for Light I'd say!

[TheEgotisticDelirium]

@TheMeezProductions Great idea, man. If they did something like that and made it the main battle theme, then I'd look forward to every battle. :bd

[BloodyNaruto360]

@TheEgotisticDelirium lol it is sorta its a fucking beast right

[Personaforever]

This is like porn battle music...

[Brine49]

beautiful

[mackenzy123]

dose this sound like nobou uematsu's workings or is it just me

[levintine777]

is this really boss battle theme?? to me, its more like normal battle n i wish it is so that i could hear it over n over again

[samyam1984]

Masashi Hamazu, Uematsu Nodua, Shoji Meguro, MEguro Masashi, these people are currently the best composers I know of in Japanese gaming Industry.

This song is a worthy succession to Blinded By Light in FFXIII.

Seems like there is more story to the song now.

[DudethatyelledMurloc]

@samyam1984 Nobuo....not Nodua wtf?

[samyam1984]

@DudethatyelledMurloc Sorry!! It was a Typo... Everyone knows who I meant ;)

[Exist64]

meh, this doesnt sound that intensive : / nice but not exciting : /

[Baleoce]

I would love to get the opportunity to ask Masashi Hamauzu what his composition process is. He's knocked it out of the park with FF XIII & XIII-2. So much respect for this guy.

[lukefonfabre26]

I managed to learn this and record it on my yamaha motif. ill be posting it anytime. Check it out :)

[TriggerHappy530]

one of the best in game music of all times

[Th3r4piST]

0:38 is my fav part :D

[Omegamanuel]

0:48

Starts the climax of the song :)

[iiixySaTnAfLaNiF]

With the Godess of Death's power infused into her, Lightning ought to be the most kick-butt character in the whole trilogy!

[Residentevil31313]

ODIN!

[solidpat221]

I think this is the overall battle music for normal battles. It just has that kinda feel to it.

[romans1001]

I some concerns if this game is going to be good or not but this theme is soo epic.

[Quietus767]

This is Lightning VS Chaos Bahamut, where you are riding on Odin. I soo wanna play this game.

And the two dislikers need to hop off Nobuo Uematsu's dick.

[Shinatsu]

0:26 - 0:39...my goodness that buildup is EPIC!!

[solidpat221]

@Shinatsu Try the whole 10 minutes of the game. The start to this game is amazing, 13-2 magnifies how an RPG should start. Just straight up action from the get-go. Oh and this theme being in it does justice to that beginning.

[urbanaaron56]

@Shinatsu i agree with you %100!!!!

[FantasygirlIX]

@Shinatsu i keep repeating it over and over again! its soo awesome!

[darkcloud1695]

this song sounds good i can not wait to get this game

[MoonishDesire]

I knew this was Lightning's theme from the start. If it isn't then I'm smashing my PS3 on the ground, TV and all.

[SilviaGTR1]

Great music, just love it

[humrH2360]

Final Fantasy's music had I felt other RPGs didn't have. They were able to instill that feeling of passion while keeping in theme with the rest of the soundtrack.

[haramer95]

Around 0:39 ish, does that part remind you of that other part in the original final fantasy xiii's lightning's theme near the middle?

[RinoaLionstar]

@haramer95 It's always been the instrument used to express her character. :)

[Manciuin86]

for me is the simple battle theme...

[supergennininfinity]

To help explain what I know, this plays when you fight against a chaos version of the Eidolin Bahaumut (not sure what that's all about). It's an event where Lightning rides Odin and fights while in motion I guess you could say. I was watching the demo presented at e3 when Square presented Lightning's battle. Crazy stuff happens when your battling and all of a sudden you chase it up a building and do a bunch of action commands. If this game is like the last one, it might have a huge ost, so...

[supergennininfinity]

@supergennininfinity ...it might be possible that Lightning has to fight all of the Eidolins at some point and there's battle music for each one. Also, it's highly possible (at least I hope it is) that it will do what it did in the first one and switch between the 2 sets of characters (where it's at one point Serah and Noel, then it's Lightning and some other guy, or if it counts Odin) until the end where you can play as whoever you want. My hope is all of the places, and I do mean ALL of the..

[supergennininfinity]

@supergennininfinity ..places, or at the very least most of them, your able to go back to at some point. Even though most areas were just a straight line, I actually wanted to go back to those areas later and admire the graphics, but I couldn't. This is especially important since the whole idea of this game is that your able to explore a huge area, I mean, your given the ability to jump for crying out loud. Wow, I just relized that I just typed a lot. Ah well, I hope I got my pointacrossatleast.

[KingdomSieger]

@firewishes lol no

[FreeRunful]

i really like the violin piece

[pokepizza]

@kseromore i see what you did there lol

[kseromore]

reminds me charlies angels. correct me if i am random

[scribble71891]

I could definitely hear blinded by light in this song.

[zacjar12]

@scribble71891 ORLY



[RileyTheCharmedOnes]

I love this !!!!!!

[claire1909]

This is going to be like the second Blinded by Light. I'm going to be singing this all week in the shower...

[AtelierLucid]

@claire1909 You can sing hamauzu's song? That's new... I thought they're too complicated to sing by a single mouth.

[claire1909]

@AtelierLucid Just the main melody. The violin parts~

[weaknaruto]

After hearing this...I've decided. I want this game 9999x more!

[Anime0pEds]

guys wanna hear the battle theme head over to gamespot's ps3 page of FF13-2 and see track down atlas gameplay

[UltraPenguinx3]

soo beautiful.. :'3

[ZhaoYun1239]

one person became cie'th so they missed the like button :)

[Badham94]

I wish this was the battle theme. O_o Although I'll probably like the electric guitar one, this just feels better for a Final Fantasy game.

[RileyTheCharmedOnes]

I'll expect the complete version !!

Final Fantasy XIII series music are TOTALLY Epic !!!

[jsh020]

@RileyTheCharmedOnes this proboly is the complete version but it will loop,

[shane9999100]

@jsh020 Yep. People who heard this in game at E3 said that it just loops right back into the beginning at the end. That loop point is missing from this version, though, it'd be somewhere around 1:05 in the in game version.

[RileyTheCharmedOnes]

I love this battle theme (?).

More passion !!!

More action feel !!!

[oniseifer05]

oh shit son, it's Blinded By Light ver. 2.0! this game, to me, is shaping up to be quite the sequel. better than X-2 ever dreamed to be, even though i beat it 100% lol

[LocoPuFf2342]

This game Looks Disgusting... but ill play anyway

[LocoPuFf2342]

: ) they did sucha guud job. I LOVED 13's battle theme



[bpmmaniacraul]

i like this more than serah's and noel's theme because it has the FF touch, but I FUCKING REALLY MISS THE FANFARE T_____________________________­______T

[ali773n]

this song makes me feel like im in an adventure... i wanna be a an adventurer T.T  Lightning is soooooo lucky.

[ali773n]

this song makes me feel like im in an adventure... i wanna be a ravager

[Onlymaybe7]

This is a really good battle theme.

[thepsynergist]

This sucks because it wasn't made by Nobou Umematsu. But as a song by itself, its good. I just miss Nobou making FF songs.

[RadicalRhys297]

@thepsynergist It sucks but its good... great logic ¬__¬

[thepsynergist]

@RadicalRhys297 It makes sense if you read more into it. As a regular song its all right, but if Uematsu made the battle theme, it would have sounded better.

[RadicalRhys297]

@thepsynergist It doesn't matter who made it, what matters is how the piece actually sounds, and in this case its a very good piece.

[1BadAssArchAngelvs14]

@thepsynergist but i think uematsu does not work with vilolins so this theme would suck worse but you just have opinion..

[Erghest]

@thepsynergist Uematsu isn't that great, honestly. there are much better composers out there, like masashi hamauzu (composed this, along with saga frontier 2 and a few other games), hitoshi sakimoto (final fantasy tactics, odin sphere, numerous others), kenji ito (saga frontier 1, romancing saga), etc

[jsh020]

@Erghest their all good, its just Uematsu gets a ridiculous amount of love cause he did all the old games music, he also did 7 if im not mistaken, i personally prefer masashi hamauzu, final fantasy X i think still to this day is the best ost ever made and ye si do know that Uematsu did co work with him on it but still masashi was the main perosn working on it

[Dasten]

@Erghest Glad someone has the good taste to know of Masashi Hamauzu. SaGa Frontier II is perhaps the best soundtrack to any square game made. Have a virtual handshake *extends hand*

[lonephoenix08]

@Dasten *Accepts hand shake!* I won't leave ya hanging! Lol! And yes, his music is awesome, I like both Uematsu's and Hamauzu's! Especially when the strings are in a MODERN FEEL YEAHHH!!! ^v^<3^w^

[Kamikadze333666]

@thepsynergist Thankfully, Uematsu-sensei made the FFXIV soundtrack) But I really like this song and the battle theme for Noel and Serah (kinda wished for the japanese dub on the E3 instead of a crappy english one, but oh well... you take what you can get)

[OmnomTheDevourer]

@thepsynergist I don't see why everyone always makes such a big eal about him. I think he stopped being good after VI's soundtrack. It was good to see some new music in X.

[jdc421]

@OmnomTheDevourer yeah. final fantasy 7 and 8's soundtracks fail on every level. and et was the greatest game for the atari.

[Kamikadze333666]

Sort of reminds me of Sigma Harmonics... Probably because of violins =3

[Kironic102]

I love how its a remix of blinde by light not like in FFX-2, i just love this one i cant wait to fight to this

[Lilukachan]

is the composer the same?

[XxNejiHyugaxX]

@Lilukachan Yep! Masashi Hamauzu!

[Lilukachan]

@XxNejiHyugaxX Yaaaay!

[Franz3747]

Epic boss battle theme is Epic
