FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 OST - Plains of Eternity (Archylte Steppe Theme)

[TheHydecka]

For a girly song from a girly video game (which yes, I beat) This... is pretty damn good. Of course I would never admit liking this song irl.

[ARRGxbrandonx]

@TheHydecka i would gladly admit liking this song irl lol, theres no reason to hide what you actually like, my friends and family all know that i like music like this and that i like games like fnial fantasy xD

[ARRGxbrandonx]

@ARRGxbrandonx final*

[HolographicSpace]

@TheHydecka It's because you're a pussy.

[SerahFarron1000]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blindambition]

This song grows on you. The soundtrack is indeed different but still well composed.

[nydcat]

Everything's better with bacon, including this song.

[ThePancakeChef]

Huge FF fan, and even when I do love the music from Nobuo I have to say they did a pretty good job making music for this FF. I like the uptempo pop themes.

[MyraSlokov]

Wow... this doesn't feel like Final Fantasy at all. Nobuo Uematsu would have never made something this bad.

[momygirl99]

@MyraSlokov Sweetie, just because this has a pop feeling doesn't mean it's "not Final Fantasy" anymore. They did a terrific job with the music.

Only reason this game has lots of pop music with vocals is because it fits the style of the plot and characters. Think about it. Now be a mature person and don't give us this complaint that it's "not Final Fantasy anymore."

[davem1992ftw]

@MyraSlokov oh fuck off, go play your precious VII

[SecraLas]

@MyraSlokov What do you mean, "feel like Final Fantasy"? Every Final Fantasy game creates a new universe, and a new feel. It's supposed to be different.

If it made the soundtrack similar to the other Final Fantasy's style, it'd defeat the purpose of the series in the first place.

And frankly, this is a good song. :L

[miszbreesz54]

@MyraSlokov What exactly is a Final Fantasy "feeling"?

[UAEalmarri]

@miszbreesz54 he means VII :P

[malfurio]

Need an Extended version

[dudeiamthedude]

@malfurio HAS and Extended version

[SurvivorCire]

Whats the main track of this game

[soralifestory]

@SurvivorCire its wish check it ou its good its also on mychannel

[bambibethy18]

@SurvivorCire Serah's theme again lol

[Solar000Knigth]

Caius be ballin'

[lederping]

This is so great, but the vocals kind of ruin it D:

[fmababridged]

Does anyone else subconciously hear that thunderbolt sound effect that spawns the Long Gui at the start of this track?

[SuperGamertard]

probably my fave ff13-2 song :D

[HikaruFilms]

@SuperGamertard mine too

[KinevAsaic]

In FF's 1-9, Square always did their soundtracks as "All For One", with everyone depending on Nobuo. But now, it looks like SE has switched to "Diversity". It's a nice paradigm shift IMO.

[lozfanatikk]

@KinevAsaic Exactly!!! omg, open minded people exists thank you! I believe that this diversity is the magic and beauty that characterize XIII and XIII-2

[TheHydecka]

This isn't exactly my genre of music but there's no doubt it was done very well.

[Sociologamer]

@ZephyrFate Yeah, I like that. When your Mog Clock comes on, whatever background music is playing gets tweaked or remixed. I liked running around avoiding things here because the voice drops out and a violin starts playing the melody. :D Still wish this BGM would override the regular music during battle though, at least in this one area.

[SteaIthIess]

I got a free poster with my game. Apparently, Lightning is supposed to be skydiving towards Caius in this picture (which is cut off).

[samuraispiritsx]

@SteaIthIess yes, if you played the demo that image is the splash image for the ps3 version. :D

[No13Machine]

Get ready for killer cacti.

[Ushinawa95]

my favorite song in the game :)

[cloud0168]

serah does die but she doesnt have to because there are 8 different endings to the game

[PicclesAreGross]

@cloud0168 those 8 endings were paradox endings so they didnt have anything to do with the actual storyline,but the ending when sarah dies is the actual ending.

[ifrit1780]

@PicclesAreGross Aw man! Spoilers!!

[satsumi]

i could listen to this all day. I pretty much camped my self here the first time I got to this in game for like 30 min.

[sirwinsalot]

...so am i the only 1 seeing caius in the background getting his....groove on?

[temiooful]

@sirwinsalot nah its everyone even one guy said he would flip a table if dis song was a battle theme

[sirwinsalot]

@temiooful oh lol

[KingMasterReview]

l Iove this song! Its pieceful :)

[glenburg89]

Caius dancing to this song is like the best inside joke.

Caius Voice:...*Gasp* I LOVE THIS SONG!

Caius Voice: Our prayyyyers meet no matter whhheeere we're goingggg...

[BtwIOweU1]

when i listen to this song, i imagine myself walking through a beautiful city, flying cars, hollowgram displays everywhere,,i also can imagine having a floating itembox lol

[Uchitoru90RPG]

I LOVE THIS THEME!!!! the other day while i was there lvling up b4 i fought that dragon monster i would just sing along to this!!!

[gwalie]

So relaxing and soothing. Listening this while doing my homework. :)

[kfkintara5]

When I hear this song I imagine this:

Caius: * flying towards Noel/Serah *

Serah: Noel, Caius is coming!

Noel: * pulls his sword out * Let's do this!

* music plays/ Caius flys overhead Noel/Serah *

Noel: What the-- Where does he think he's going!?

Serah: Is it just me or is Caius dancing?

Caius: * tapping feet to the beat/ snapping fingers * We can fight after this song.

Can't help but crack up when I'm playing now with this song playing in the background. OTL lol

[roseanime1]

just heard this song in the game and i loved it and had to find it! <3 one of the best songs in the game so far O.o

[Lucas4Manga]

Oh my gosh, one of the best songs in FFXIII-2. I loved it as soon as I heard it. :3 Caius must've been fist pumping to this song. I can imagine it...

Caius: Warrior goddess, we trade moves now!

Lightning: Save it for later!

~This song plays in the background~

XD Thanks so much SE for making this awesome song!!! I wish I could use it for my FF character... X3

[TheRyanskl1]

Does anyone know the song being played in this area while its raining? its more soothing and similar to the fxiii crystarium part. i cant seem to find it

[SuperBattleFranky]

@TheRyanskl1 Gapra Whitewood. A re-used track from FFXIII

[TheRyanskl1]

@SuperBattleFranky Cool thanx

[Thewasteofwords]

if life had a theme THIS WOULD BE IT

[HaleyTheSeer]

oh lol,then I wasn't imagining things, that's a start

[HaleyTheSeer]

Noel: It's time to do this Serah

Serah: Noel why do you have a bloody nose?

Noel: -sees caisus then imagines the horse onstomping serah-

Caisus: Get your groove on!

[thehorrocruxes]

is one hot wonder lol

[eacyeacyeacy777]

i like the base its cool

[HaleyTheSeer]

Does anyone think that noel and serah make a good pair

[mumble1321]

@HaleyTheSeer I was thinking the same thing too lol

[wweworldwrestling]

@HaleyTheSeer No. Serah x Snow, always.

[JaredDrake]

@wweworldwrestling Sadly, I'm with Haley on this one. Noel x Serah is absolutely perfect. Well, that or Yeul x Noel.

[wweworldwrestling]

@JaredDrake Yeul x Noel are more fitting. Besides Serah aren't available, she's engaged! So unless Snow dies I don't think Serah will ever see Noel as more than a friend.

[RachetRiolu]

@wweworldwrestling ... Snow did die. But so did Serah, so Noel can't be with her anyway.

[wweworldwrestling]

@RachetRiolu Thanks a lot for the spoilers /:

[squirrelking207]

This video was uploaded on my birthday :o

[heronoki]

I hope they have a sexy rave with this....because if it's a battle theme, I'm gonna flip a damn table.

[Ttadmer]

@heronoki No worries, it's not a battle theme, it's an area theme that is heard in the Plains of Eternity (Archletyte Steppe)

[ShadowYuri09]

I hope the lyrics aren't taken out of the english version of this

[kaii456]

Caius= moves like Jagger

[KishXoXoGirlGamer]

i am so in love with this song, i have it on my phone and i listen to it when i am in the bus ^_^! best ff13-2, the others are BLAH n_n

[TheDragonpaul22]

@KishXoXoGirlGamer I agree with you =D

[QuestimElite]

i need a instrumental version asap!

[EphemeralDreamX]

@QuestimElite Srsly I really want it D_D

[ryuoif122]

This could be actually good road trip music

[0STdude]

Composed By : Naoshi Mizuta Vocals : Joelle Mixed By : GOH HOTODA

I'm uploading the full version of this OST.. should be up within 15 mins

[asaki718]

@0STdude: You mean Joelle who was a part of Sound Horizon's Marchen!? That'd be pretty cool!

[SonOfYoungwood]

what is this filth?

[kingstreet13]

aHH I wish this was longer :)

[TheGreatKoala]

oh dear lord

[d1jal]

got more bass than super bass lol

[Bruskieify]

The voice is okay but does anyone else think this would be a much better dungeon song without the singing? (assuming the Archylte Steppes are a dungeon again.)

[sephirothsdemise]

@Bruskieify I definitely agree, but mainly since I typically don't like video-game songs with singing (at least in-game). There are certainly exceptions, such as Nier, which might be because the words are indecipherable and don't distract from the rest of the song and game.

[770megaman]

@sephirothsdemise neither does ff13-2 it goes good with it

[drahtseilakt]

Squareenix keeps on sucking mainstream-dicks.

[Sanbonita1]

@drahtseilakt Get the fuck off. >_>

[FoodandLiquorr]

gotta futuristic feel to it .



[RayLightning66]

OMG i LOVE IT !! <3

[Sociologamer]

Music like this makes me hope that there isn't an abrupt transition to a battle theme. How much fun would it be to blast a Behemoth to kingdom come with this playing in the background? :D STAGGER.

[ZephyrFate]

@Sociologamer There's an aggressive mix of this that plays when you encounter enemies that eases you into a battle.

[moogleking]

I love the bass in this song

[Baleoce]

Awesome track. I love that synth and the chord progression from 00:45

[lonephoenix08]

@Baleoce OH YES! Awesomeness! I love the part 1:18, the bridges chords are AWESOMENESS!!! ^v^<3^w^

[teddiesage]

This one makes me want to dance with the hands in the air... DAMMIT!

[tyhonda47]

@jeffplaysska Love Nujabes. (:

[SicSlaver]

His pants needs to be bigger!

[triforced1]

-insert retarded comment here-

[LORDZERO777]

as a hip hop artist myself......a rap remix would RUIN this......its perfect the way it is

[f17coolplane]

Did you change the title from "Archylte" to "Eternal" steppe or has that always been there and am I a moron?

[KingWhoShallReturn]

@f17coolplane The full soundtrack was just released today. That's the full title :)

[Music1222]

Awful game, and I haven't even played it yet! AXE!

[KangaroosReviews]

@Music1222 That maybe true but fuck you.

[ZarsasCostumes]

@Music1222 the ppl who are listening to this, are the ppl who LOVE this game., go bash it somewhere else!

[UltimaChaos29]

Why has it changed from Archylte Steppe to Eternal Steppe?

[heyjeySigma]

@UltimaChaos29 thats what im wondering too...

[sakuraban96]

@UltimaChaos29 Cuz it's the official name of the song.

[Ricochet1495]

lol Caius in the background is totally getting his groove on.

[glenburg89]

@Ricochet1495

Lmao, I can totally see him fist pumping.

[yaoimaniac929]

gyaahhhhh i cant stop listening to it! hurry up january!

[MsFinalfantasyXiii]

I can't wait for this game

[Splicer0111]

cant wait for the 31st of jan! i got crystal edition paid off!!! Ima rage this ost

[Zagi814]

i'm gonna jam this song the week of its release, this is gonna be my sunleth watercape theme for XIII's release.......its time to paradigm shift from 2011 to 2012 already!! lol

[heyjeySigma]

@Zagi814 you should check out sunleth watercape's theme for FF13-2 it sounds even better than the first one! not kidding you

[zaxckee]

@FinalHeart6 Noel and Serah are time travelling in FFXIII-2, so it fits

[FinalHeart6]

I miss the more orchestral themes, unless we go onto the future to the A Step. Then it'd make more sense

[Exist64]

"Awesome track made by Naoshi Mizuta! Party in Lightning's house anyone? :D" XD

[TheMassiveMayhem]

@Exist64 Lightning would be a cool bitch to party with.

[Exist64]

@TheMassiveMayhem you really seem to be respectless, puberal dumbass.

[TheMassiveMayhem]

@Exist64 Why would you say that? I have no disrespect towards anyone. You misunderstood.

[Exist64]

@TheMassiveMayhem so you respect me? XD man, what im saying is, that lightning isnt supposed to be the kind of women you should talk about like this.

[Exist64]

the archylte steppe theme in FF13 was so much better D:

[TheGuardianCore]

The various music types fit the situations. I like that.

The rap battle, Snow's rock theme, Hope's sad delicate them, this robust beat.

It all matches the surroundings, like a color palette.

[hazard04]

I can't wait for this game to come out! I'm gonna get it on day one.

[RPGgamerVII]

the moar electronic these soundtracks get the better

[theshawngorton]

@romans1001 Pfft, country is boring and rap is shissa.

[Epheremy]

Why just not putting the old one? I really hope they're joking -.-

[davem1992ftw]

12 ppl are butthurt FFVII fanboys

[KangaroosReviews]

How about we all stop fucking opinionating and enjoy the fucking song.

Fuck.

[TheBelmonthunter]

FFXIII theme was a way better

[TheBelmonthunter]

@TheBelmonthunter cuz he is from gran pulse

[bkkapo93g]

@romans1001 Its not the costume, It's the costume on a girl like that. She's very petite an young looking almost to a preteen degree. To put something like that on her an have this character saving the world or whatever in that outfit is a little inappropriate don't ya think? Im jus sayin. Ivy is a grown ass woman with sex appeal an feminine demeanor. Her persona embraces that type of look. But certainly not Serah, it jus seems wrong to me idk why Square did that "/

[romans1001]

@bkkapo93g You have a point I think she should dress more youthful and las vegas style. Are you going to buy this game in the future cause I doubt I will based off the game play.

[bkkapo93g]

@romans1001 Yeah of course I'm buying it, Im actually going to preorder it like I did with FFXIII. It seems like a little detour from FFXIII but Im a diehard FF fan ever since FF8 so ill support it an plus Im interested in where the story goes an what relations Square Enix claims it has with FF Versus XIII (which Im also interested in getting). I still bought FFX-2 even though it seemed (and kinda was) way too girly, but overall was a good game to me.

[KUSILE]

ugh why does that guy have Fang's eidolon

[shirayuki75]

I can't wait to travel here then.

[RoXante314]

sounds good

[YuzukiEba]

OHHHHHH OWWWNNED

[MsSilvia135]

What is this song called, which is playing in this theme? Is it one of Charice´s songs?

[romans1001]

I like this type music compared to country and rap. Country is so boring and rap is mostly vulgar and nonsense to me

[ShadowYuri09]

@romans1001 I totally agree with you!

[Harleybear09]

@romans1001 Do not say that, this music has nothing to do with rap or country. And everyone has different reasons to like some songs. Don't narrow your likes in music. Makes it boring :D

[VVBlastFuryVV]

@romans1001 True. Basically all rappers rap about today is sex and girls. Can't they have something epic? Special? Instead of just repeating the process?

[MasterNinja1250]

@VVBlastFuryVV not girls, prostitutes. remember that. Old school rap is alot better imo. Hip Hop is dead.

[VVBlastFuryVV]

@MasterNinja1250 Ah, right, prostitutes xD. I agree, old school rap was way better than it is now.

[IcedEarthaholic]

@VVBlastFuryVV well, alot of the mainstream rappers do rap about sex, cars and women I agree, not all of them do, Eminem actually doesn't alot of the time hence why I respect him. Other than that, I agree. For me, I'd love a remix of this song featuring a rap verse or two. It's aweosme as is, but come on, a fusion with a couple rap verses that actually fit would put this one over the top!

[VVBlastFuryVV]

@IcedEarthaholic Yeah. I'd wish for that too xD.

[IcedEarthaholic]

@VVBlastFuryVV for sure, and I'd probably want no other than either Eminem or a newcomer that is actually pretty good, B.O.B. to do the verses if a rap remix were made.

[VVBlastFuryVV]

@IcedEarthaholic Oh, B.O.B.? That dude? Yeah atleast he doesn't talk about sex and hoes and such.

[Music1222]

@IcedEarthaholic No rap remix will be made of this CHEESY song.

[IcedEarthaholic]

@Music1222 you're most likely right sadly, unless it turns out to be a fan based remix.

[MasterNinja1250]

@romans1001 yes your so right. Music from Japan (all genres) usually tend to have a very good rythym, sense of style, and deep meaning in the lyrics. Music in the western world however, isn't the same as it used to be.

[heyjeySigma]

@romans1001 what is this genre of music called? pop i guess? pls correct me if im wrong.

[Matak12]

@romans1001 country rips this crap up man this is so gay

[Reloading26]

@Matak12 LOL FAIL

[romans1001]

@Matak12 I don't think so because this music has no gender or organs. It is sung by a female anyway.

[Myuubey]

@romans1001 This OST is amazing but please please stop comparing apples to oranges

[SamHeald]

@romans1001 Those are two very ignorant generalizations. If seems you have not ventured anywhere beyond the radio.

[romans1001]

@SamHeald I'm getting a lot replies from my top comment interesting.

[tyhonda47]

@SamHeald I agree with your comment. It looks he only listened to that mainstream rap crap they play on they radio that degrade women and brag about money, jewelry, etc.

[Dark2Cloud5]

@tyhonda47 Mainstream Rap is barely like that anymore. At least at this present moment

[tyhonda47]

@Dark2Cloud5 A majority of it is. Just looking at the music videos make me sick to my stomach. So disgraceful. I'm not saying hip hop as a whole is like that. There are many mainstream hip hop artists that don't promote that kind of stuff. Not to mention how underrated Underground Hip Hop is.

[jeffplaysska]

@tyhonda47 NUJABES!!!

[famas246]

9 people are homeless people due to CoD

[Yomonachi]

Wow....this is the Archylte Steppe. It's not boring as **** anymore
