  • I can see why people would compare this to Final Fantasy because Nobuo Uematsu did a lot of the music. 8D

  • Dude, the part where Cooke and Mack remove Kakanas's and his men's clothes. That is TOO hilarious!

    Jansen: Is that your mother's.  HA! Classic!

  • OH SWEET CELESTIA it sounds like FF1 + FF2 boss themes.

    Id prefer that this one was FF13.

  • @HakoneDrift Sweet Celestia? That's an MLP term. Do you watch it? and are you a brony or a pony?

  • Lost Odyssey is made by Mistwalker, who also made the Final Fantasy series, so its no wonder that the music is a similar style and the gameplay too. Though I only played FF1,2,4,5,6,7 and 13, I can say out of all of them and Lost Odyssey, Lost Odyssey is my favourite, though 6 comes incredibly close.

  • actually grown to really like this theme...

  • stupid cheap ass 2 headed snake thing :P

  • why most people always compare with final fantasy? that is lost odyssey and I'm glad too: D

  • @Lordtamilas

    sakaguchi created both final fantasy and made this game with mistwalker. They also did The last story and blue dragon.

  • This game is better than final fantasy 13 in term of story and gameplay

  • this song is so Final fantasy ;),

  • @mrx2039 in fact it is

  • the whole game had a good story and a very interesting game play that is very new to RPG'S every where and 4 disk span sold me in seconds

  • this game was both fun and fustrating. (more fun than fustrating though), and the music is awesome!!

  • i like it

  • Dat trumpet at the end is so fucking awsome

  • Soooooooooo epic

  • I love this theme

  • Ha ha, now I am definitely digging this, nice piece of music. I'm getting this game in a couple days, so I do look forward to checking this out. I especially like when the pitch changes and adds to the intensity of the fight. Uematsu has composed some great stuff, I feel he should eventually retire with dignity and take a nice, long well deserved vacation from it all in due time.

  • Haven't played the game but I like this song. ^_^

  • @ohaiitsmatt You should just got done playing it :)

  • @soicspeed I will when I finally get a 360 in December. It's in my top 3 must plays for the system right now.

  • @ohaiitsmatt you need to play the game... Not to such the game itself.. but you need to play it for the stories

  • @ohaiitsmatt Truly a phenomenon of a game.

  • @ohaiitsmatt Nobuo Uematsu does that :)

  • This music started playing in my head as soon as I realized that my Spanish final is tonight instead of Wednesday night like I thought it was. GO GO GO!

  • Reminiscent of FF8 IMO. I really liked this game. Just sold it and now I'm sad...

  • Kakanas: "Come back, cowards!!" *smash* "Argh, my hand!!" XD

  • This song actually has the type of melodies Uematsu was composing during his Famicom days(Circa FFI-FFIII, particularly). It actually sounds a LOT like the style he used in FFII. Ultra retro late 80s/early 90s RPG-styled music with full orchestra treatment(or a damn good synth).

  • Perfect

  • wow! that sounds amazing!!!

  • This is just such a celebration of everything Nobuo Uematsu has done in the past decades, as was the rest of the game a celebration of everything JRPG.

    imo Lost Odyssey was his opus magnum.

  • First fight with Kakanas: This guy is annoying. Must kill.

    Second fight with Kakanas: Him again? *shrug*

    Third fight with Kakanas: Kakanas? Again? YESSSSSSSS!!!!! *kicks butt*

    Last fight with Kakanas: AAGH WHAT'S HE DOING I CAN'T KILL HIM OW THAT HURT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! *dies*

    I bloody love Numara

  • Aaaaah that insane trompet! I LUV IT!

  • the first turn based JRPG I played. For me it was a totally new and incredible experience.

  • @turgore You chose a good starting point. Lost Odyssey is definitely one of the top JRPGs to hit the market in the PS3/360 generation.

  • this game had one of the best story lines in a game i have ever played And this game should have been part of the ff series for sure!

  • Reminds me of some Disney musics.

  • @Ninjaspyman You should hear some of Uematsu's older tunes. They had more of a Disney-feel. Particularly the final boss theme from FFII. 

  • Love the music in this game and the humor,

    Jansen: "Oohh its so cold. *to Seth* Hey! Turn around!"

  • A Wild Mighty Enemy Appears! 

  • I get goosebumps throughout the whole song. It's that amazing.

  • DAMN YOU GONGORA!!!!!

  • I loved this game, but I never beat it :( I could NEVER get passed this part where I was on a train or something, and was fighting some... ice guy, I can't remember, it was so long ago.

    But I basically had to play as the 4 people I didn't level up or anything, and that was freaking annoying.

  • @Shoji91 That's the fight where your only front line fighter is the little boy, who was a mix melee/caster. Essentially not who you wanted to have to rely on for survivability. Its one of the harder fights in the game.

  • I listen to this to get pumped for my A-level math exam

  • What an amazing track! Definitely one of the best orchestral tracks I've heard in any entertainment medium. Lost Odyssey FTW.

  • 1:45 is my favorite part of the track.

  • 2 people couldn't beat Kakanas.

  • Rpgs or story-heavy games always have the sickest soundtracks.

  • your breath is so bad IT WILTS THE FLOWERS!!!!!!!  best line ever :P

  • @mackenzy123 When did that happen?

  • @jelloegg seriously ..........at the end of disk 1 well near it

  • This is one of the very few boss tracks in any Square Enix game that made me think "Oh shit! I'm in for one hell of a battle here."

    Nobuo Uematsu at his "usual" best...

  • @YinYang19 It's not Square-Enix, it's Mistwalker; aka the best from Squaresoft.

  • @Purpleisawesome93

    So it is.

    My apologies, might as well be Square-Enix though, since Nobuo did a lot of this music, I think?

  • @YinYang19 I guess, at least he can still work his magic :D

  • uematsu at his best :) so awesome =)

  • I love how everyone is saying this game sucked. Maybe you fools forgot it was Hironobu fucking SAKAGUCHI who made this? Seriously, no one wants to you stupid posts about how this game is "archaic." Fighting on the internet is retarded. Case in point: STFU and listen to music

  • 1 person was just being a dick.

  • All people ever do is complain, if it isn't the story, it's the battle system, not that, then it's the the popularity (sigh)

    I swear, so many people have so little appreciation.

  • this video just makes me mad to think that the person who uploaded the who ost took them down recently WHYYYY DX

  • Lost Odyssey 2... PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­ASE!

  • Who is the man in the picture? He looks like Kaim, but Kaim doesn't carry a staff.

  • This game was the reason i bought a 360. And while it was good, the gameplay hurt, it was probably...6/10 at best. And while the previews look good, the unreal graphic engine really failed at some parts of this game.

    While a good game, I think ff13, Valkyria Chronicles, Resonance of Fate are superior -- Even if LO's OST beats them out, it's gameplay isn't that much fun, sadly.

  • @IdeonFukkatsu You truly rate FF13 higher than LO? I... my brain hurts.

  • @Broshmosh Lost odyssey was super rushed, they made use of the unreal engine instead of writing their own, and as a result, we suffered the ring system which is a tired combat mechanic that has become very cliche. I am NOT saying it's a bad game by any means, but the gameplay hurt badly compared to FF13 which was a lot more fun imo. Best part of lost odyssey was 1000 years of dreams.

  • @IdeonFukkatsu well lost odyssey could have been a little faster but still it's battle mechanics crush final fantasy 13's overly compact battle system, ff13 is bacically the devil may cry equivelent of final fantasy with repetitive and long boss fights

  • @IdeonFukkatsu i'd rather play this than any sega game and ff 13 is not even close to topping this

  • @brainjuice654 The combat system is archaic here. They just copied last remnant's trigger hit sequence. They used unreal engine for christ's sake. The beginning of Lost Odyssey looks phenomenal, but once you clear that there's all kinds of graphical errors all through the game. Not that it isn't a great game; but it was rushed and it's obvious. Also Sheena Easton's song ruined any chance this game had at getting 10/10 score for ost.

  • @IdeonFukkatsu traditional battle systems are the best and always will be and vocals don't count as ost for all i care at least it doesn't have leona lewis >.< ff13 is one of the worst rpg's of this generation with it's long and repetitive bosses it's stupid compact commands. seriously i have more fun playing final fantasy 2 than 13 because it has way more character customization and it's the total opposite of linear and the classic turned based battle system. the atb bar idea in 13 sucked.

  • @brainjuice654 This game didn't sell well. The gameplay is tedious. And the pacing is bad. Kaim's amnesia was revealed so prematurely that the story was laid bare 10 hours into the gameplay.

    But the real travesty was the gameplay. It was absolutely repetetive. And the mage characters who wore staffs: there was no point in even upgrading their weapon. Look at shin megami tensei games for how "traditional" style battles can be fun.

  • @IdeonFukkatsu i'm not disagreeing with your opinion i'm just saying that final fantasy 13 is crap and traditional battles r the best

  • Why didn't the just call It a FF game? It has the same creator and music composer.

  • @Nanertot Because it isn't Final Fantasy, doesn't have any Final Fantasy elements in it that don't just classify as generic RPG elements, and because Final Fantasy was a Squaresoft/Square-Enix game, to name a few reasons.

  • This is dope . Sounds like old 80's music horror-calamity music.

  • The REAL FF13.

  • @nubergutin true... ff13 suckz hard :(

  • @nubergutin As far as I'm concerned this was Final Fantasy X, The Last Story is set to be XI.

    Square-Enix dropped the ball years ago.

  • @nubergutin you got it!

  • @nubergutin or the real FF11.

  • @SamFisherCell FF11 suits. 10 was the last real FF

  • @nubergutin Indeed, I've been saying that since I beat it.

  • @nubergutin or 12

  • lol...my friend came over and said, Oh is that tht new FF13 game.

  • @silvertigrex I'm the biggest FF fanboy on the face of the earth and I say this in all honesty. Lost Odyssey shits all over FF13.

  • @kinneas

    does that mean that you love FF 1-10 and absolutely despise the rest? In that case... You beat me as a FF-fan. I'm all about Sakaguchi & Uematsu.

  • @Guccikebab 12 was pretty decent as well wasn't a huge fan of the combat system. 10-2 was shit tbh. I even played 11 on PC (Shite!) lol

  • @silvertigrex I hope you punched him/her hard after that.

    

  • @silvertigrex Well it's story telling and gameplay can easily make it pass as one.

  • @nubergutin

    Ahh I can't decide I enjoyed both of them to death, damn you beautiful colourful graphics, both over the top action and music XD

  • @nubergutin Hi

    I haven't played the FF games.

    Do you think this is better than the new FF games? My friend likes Odyssey over FF13. Do you agree? I look forward to play the Final Fantasy games. Which ones do you prefer?

  • @dondondokken it is better than 12 and 13 yes. the newer FF are by far crappier than the older ones. but this game is better than some of the other ffs, yes. i will agree with your friend on that. but theirs a few ff i had more fun playing than this one, just cause i was able to get into the storyline much more than this.

    imo 10, 9, or 4 would be a good choice if you plan to get into ff (imo at least). but a must would prob have to be 7 since its the game they are probably most famous for.

  • @dondondokken Don't play any of the 3D ones. Just play I-Vi.

  • this is amazing great.....:)

  • I honestly can hardly remember the main plot of this game, other than the fact that it involved immortals - but I definitely remember the soundtrack!

  • compossitor?

  • @Elshi3400 compossitor?

  • @lastblade3 :)

  • @Septimuspain lawlz. :D

  • Wow, I just realized that Lost Odyssey reminds me a little of the Shadow of the Colossus OST.

  • That trumpet trill at the turnaround is really jarring. I don't think it fits with the intense tone of this song.

  • Great game.

  • @phrozr It isnt that hard, just take out the two Magic Energy Units then it can't do its big attacks or absorb your HP. Dont be scared of using spells, use ground/grounda. Get Cooke to use Zephyr every 2 or 3 turns and you cant lose! (I couldnt beat it either but then i used this strategy!) BTW, Best game ever!!! It has everything you want in a game. Guns, magic, swords, massive storyline (I still havent finished it!) Awsome Music and graphics! My favourite bit has got to have been Obsidian Mack

  • The Kakanas' Tank boss is one of the hardest.

  • 1 person couldn't beat the second boss

  • 0:01-3:01 is the best part

  • This game was really good. But I couldn't finish it. It wasn't too hard. It wasn't boring. I didn't get stuck on a puzzle. The battles were WAY too long. I mean, the fights weren't bad, but seriously, the showing of the surroundings every single time got SO annoying, and eventually, I quit because of them. =/

  • @knowwhoiamyet hmm well thats too bad for you :/

  • Comment removed

  • I FREKIN LOVE THIS SONG :D

  • megamazing

  • Comment removed

  • Please, this got to be in the top 50

  • Despite the amazing orchestra work, this sounds totally old school. You can easily translate this into a 16- or 8-bit soundtrack in your mind. Given the nature of the game, I bet this was totally intentional. Awesome, as always, Nobuo Uematsu.

  • anyone here ever play Dynasty Warriors?

  • Whered you get this picture?

  • I judge rpgs by their music because lets face it, your gonna hear the battle theme a shitload of times. I can only force myself to be patient with the rpg if its normal battle theme is awesome, as well as the standard shit hitting the fan music. Getting attacked by enemy soldiers and being chased by a tank is very shit hitting the fan and I loved every moment of it because of this song.

  • And ofcourse one total moron disliked one of the greatest soundtracks ever made for a fantasy game =="

  • OMG IT JAWS!!! IN THE SKY!

    AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

  • @MEGAGUY21 If you mean the ostinato: Jaws is a minor second (half-tone), while this has a minor third (three half-tones).

  • Uematsu just has to touch something to make it 9999999999999999 times better. if he came back he'd be able to make FFXIII's soundtrack better than any other one. he's. just. that. fucking. good.

  • I like when it goes dun dun dun.

  • DAMMMMMIIIIIIIT i fucking miss this game. why did i get rid of my 360?

  • @lastblade3 How could you?!?!

  • I swear is 2010 and this is my favorite game this gen. I have a ps3 and i only play this in my firend house. I love this game better than all my ps3 game.

  • NOTHING BEATS UEMATSU's MUSIC . PERIOD!!!! :D

  • THIS made bosses fun... battles still took long as hell, but this made it worthwhile.

  • love this theme best track in the game

  • I bought a 360 only for this game!. I'm currently at disc 4, a masterpiece so far.

  • I wonder if Uematsu is the God of music in disguise?

    I mean, is there a OST which he has made that sucks?

  • why do i love this song so much

  • 2:40 damn...... TRUMPET WINSSSSSS!

  • Personally, I thinh this track is ment to represent an army, charging foward to battle.

    (Like what happens when the track is first played)

  • Lovin' it (:

  • Wow...If I were to pursue music, Nobuo would be one of my inspirations.

  • Nobuo Uematsu is the MAN

  • the last minute of this song is absolutely epic !

  • Nobuo Uematsu, the MAN, did this OST :)

  • @RocmanRaz i know.... never asked for it, but uh yeah... weird comment :P

  • Nobuo Uematsu is the Composer. He is the guy behind all the Final Fantasy titles

  • @RocmanRaz dude, why don't you get it ? I KNOW that he is the composer and i KNOW that he composed the FF soundtracks. i knew it from the beginning, stop making those weird fucking answers.

    ... gosh.

  • Weird answer ;)

  • Actually while he is behind many of the FF soundtracks, he did not compose all the games. I... THINK that FF4 was an example where he did not compose the soundtrack.

  • @RockXIII LOL, thats funny.  You are right and wrong. He composed teh ORIGINAL soundtrack for the SNES Final Fantasy 4. When they did the Nintendo DS remake, it was composed by Junya Nakano and Kenichiro Fukui

  • @RockXIII Actually...I should not say "Composed by Junya Nakano and Kenichiro Fukui" it was "remastered" by them

  • @RocmanRaz So I have them to blame for messing up Zeromus' theme. They did good with every other track, but man, it moves at a snails pace compared to the SNES or GBA versions.

  • Not all of them, Sadly... :(

  • wrong. ff13 he did not do.

  • @GRH235 I know, he quit working for Square-Enix a while ago. I believe his reasoning was he did not like the direction that the company was going in. I could be wrong about the reasoning though.

  • Port to PS3 please :D

    I really want to play this if only because it has Uematsu, but I'm not buying a 360 just for this one game.

    This is one of Uematsu's greatest boss themes!

  • @bo49107

    That they should do.

    One of the reasons that The FF series has suffered so much in it's latest installments is because neither Sakaguchi or Uematsu were part of the project.

  • @bo49107 I wish they would, I have both systems and this is an incredible game. I just finished FFXIII and LO easily compares to it.

  • @bo49107 xbox 360 is better than ps3 so why don't just buy a xbox 360 ^^ it has better games too in my opinion

  • @bo49107 The game is epic in many ways, especially if you are a fan of old school japaneese RPGs.

  • @bo49107 I got it for this and Blue dragon, its so worth it!

  • @bo49107 Well, I don't think that'd happen. Sakaguchi and Uematsu are both pretty disillusioned with Sony's underhanded business practices. As Uematsu once said, he'd prefer to be in the business of making dreams, as opposed to making money.

  • @bo49107

    dude...buy a 360...the music is just the cherry on the cake...the game is awesome! :)

  • @bo49107 i bought it just to play this...it was worth every penny

  • @bo49107 I was also forced to buy a 360. I highly recommend that you do that too, you won't regret it. The epicness of this game equals that of a FF7. Once you play it, the memories will stay with you until your death.

  • @bo49107 You have no choice. Just like PS3 users can't get Mass Effect (but they can get Mass Effect 2) because Microsoft owns the intellectual property.

    Your best bet would be to buy a used 360 for cheap (what I did) or hope he makes a sequel (doubt it) or just get The Last Story for Wii when it comes out (cause thats looking awesome too)

  • @bo49107 oh i would my new favorite rpg a masterpiece :)

  • UGH.

    Port this to PC already!

  • Am I the only one who see's some striking similarities in the melody which almost sounds like Battle with the Four Fiends by Nobuo Uematsu? I would see it fits perfectly as a boss theme, as it has that same boss bass line you hear in most FF games if you listen carefully. One of my favourites :)

  • @Vasiothe Well you do know that MIstwalker, the guys that made this game, came from the original FF team that split from SquareEnix and left. Its why this game has so many similarities to the FF series

  • Comment removed

  • LOL you're a fucking retard dude. This song SCREAMS urgency and impending danger. Dont critique music ever again.

  • Oh and not only does this music scream urgency, It's not the only boss theme in the game. It's used for maybe 1/3 of the boss battles in the game.

    You'd know this had you actually played the game which apparently, you havent making your opinion all the more invalid and even more so ignorant.

    Congrats dipshit.

  • i;ve owned this game from the day it was launched. there was no need to be so insulting. i was merely stating my personal opinion. when i compare this boss theme to other works Nobuo Uematsu it ( to me) really DOES lack the since of urgency that would normally be found in his other works, i'm not saying it's entirely absent. there was no need to be so insulting.

  • welcome to the internet pal, If you're not being insulted, chances are you aren't expressing your opinion.

    Personally, I completely disagree with the idea that this track doesnt have that feeling of "Urgency or impending danger" as you claim. LO easily is nobous best work in recent memory, saying it isnt is ignorant.

    Im 20 btw.

  • that is your opinion, and i respect that. on another note, i never actually said this was bad, just because i said it lacks a since of danger doesn't mean i think it's bad. take a look at my original post. i DID say this was everything i expected from nobou, pure greatness. this track is actually one of my favs that i listen to all the time as i surf the net

  • @raded293

    20 and yet so childish in your behavior...

    CONGRATS!!! You're my Internet tough guy of the week!

  • @n1bigdaddy

    Welcome to the internet pal. This isn't some polite little christian message board.

    Get over yourself and realize that "Maturity" doesnt exist on the internet.

  • Well I am not christian so i wouldn't know how they interact on their message boards.

    I don't like people like you that present their opinion as fact...

    Maturity on the Internet certainly does exist!

    although I think we both agree it is unneeded on some sites.

    I personally feel that you are heavily socially and emonially unstable if you think it's a prerequsite to be an asshole on the internet
