  • why do people compare every music with nobue uematsu? yeah i like him but i love other composers too like mitsuda san,kenji ito, motoi sakuraba.they've got their own unique style that can't be compared with others.......grrrrrrr

  • Man, this song totally rips off Violin Phase by Steve Reich. But I have to say, the way it does so is totally awesome :)

  • Your video is popular on Honiara

  • this is one of my favorite boss battle themes. theres something different about the instruments and composition that Yasunori uses here. i can't find any other soundtrack like this -- very different from Uematsu's style no doubt. can anyone recommend more like this? too much music to go thru.

  • I think this game would have been much better if it wasn't associated with Xenogears. I don't know, I guess Xenogears gave me much higher expectations of Xenosaga.

  • Amazing song to an utter underwhelming and disappointing game. You have to suffer through 2 average games to get to an amazing finale in 3, but the music is worth it in all the games.

    REMAKE XENOGEARS!!!

  • @jasonthecanadian Well, I can't speak for 2 and 3, but 1 definitely was more than just "average".

  • @Gridiron992 No it isn't. The game as a whole is not a good experience. The soundtrack deserved a better game.

  • @jasonthecanadian

    you can't judge a game with only your view

    everyone has their own opinion about a game

    I think this was a good game except for number 2

  • @jasonthecanadian really? A good battle system, an amazing story( and don't hate it for it's unanswered questions... the rest of the series answers most of them), and an awesome villain... I think one is a better game than just "average"

  • This boss was fucking HARD.

    I got really used to hearing this theme.

  • I'm playing this game soon. I am now officially excited, as this is a total change of pace from most RPG battle themes.

  • The violin theme is from "Violin Phase" by Steve Reich. So this can be taken as a variation of that theme.

  • Xenosaga surpasses most if not all Final Fantasy games in so many aspects. One of them being the story. Which upsets me because everyone is now about Final Fantasy or FPS games and games like Baten Kaitos or Xenosaga will probably never see a release.

  • Xenosaga I- the only one i've gotten around to beating.Thus, the nostalgia is hitting me, hard. If only i hadn't lost my memory card....

    A great final boss theme and fitting one as well, if you get the boss's name's reference.

  • Amazing song.

  • I cant get this game to work, and i've bought it three times! :(

  • @TelenStar are you serious ? that really sucks, xenosaga is a sick game, i loved it the day it came out and even to this year its still my best game.

  • @totosakiyamcha yeah, I found out why. For some reason my console cannot read this game. Idk if it has to do with being a Slim model or not. It works on a standard size PS2 console that i tested it on.

  • @TelenStar Well the game is a bit older , and that really sucks , and its funny cuz it worked on my slim model along time ago... hmmm.... it happened with my first game when i finished all 3 of them, for some reason i could't get the first one to work and it made me mad!

  • @TelenStar try again...the game is worth it. Good luck.

  • I so want to learn how to play this on piano can anyone tell me where I can find the notes?

  • Absolutely epic final boss theme

  • this is really the most beautiful boss theme, I've ever heard O____O

  • After having to hear the exact same battle music throughout the ENTIRE game this song was a real treat. It was like the makers of the game were saying "thanks for sticking it through to the end, here's some special music!"

  • what system was this for

  • @vla1ne it's for playstation 2.

  • I simply LOVE...holy-ish battle themes.

    this is epic as hell.

  • I remember this boss! It only took me about a couple

    of minutes to beat it (thanks to Erde Kaiser)

  • i need help i love xeno saga bt i cant find the second one

  • OH MY GOD THAT BOSS WAS SO HARD. in any case this music is awesome and it fit the boss perfectly :)

    they REAAAALLLLY need to make an episode 4.

  • @ColbyFry Before they can do that, they need to buy the rights for Xenogears off SquareEnix (Monolithsoft split off from Squaresoft when they canceled the Xeno-series.) since Xenogeas is technically the 5th part in the story line and they would have to tie in and interact with it if they made an episode 4.

  • @42jemini ahh, i haven't played xenogears before (i know, i'm a failure), so i wouldnt know.

  • @42jemini xenogears has nothing to do with xenosga

  • @McScreamo It takes place several decades, or even centuries later. As such, the main characters are totally different. Also, due to Xenogears being owned by Square, the names of the characters and figures who are able to live for ever are all changed. But it is definitely the same universe.

  • This piece of music reminds me a lot of Chrono Cross. Especially the violin.

  • The Final Battle music is 100% Perfect!

    It contains the essence of slow heart bounding!

    Well, My heart slows down when i get into Final Battle and forgot to save. :p

    Xenosaga rocks, Nuff said.

  • I forgot about how EPIC this battle theme was!

    My Crew for this battle Ziggy, Kos mos and Shion.

  • You know when I got to the last boss, I honestly wouldn't have been surprised if it was just the normal battle theme, and I wasn't trying to get my hopes too high or anything.

    But man when I heard this, it was like a huge gush of refreshing, fresh air. What a great track.

  • Could listen to this for hours thanks for the upload.

  • That opening is sooooo epic...

  • i agree with sulu6 :D

  • Well,i haven't played this game,but i love this theme.

    It says "Well,this is the last boss. Friends,give your best!"

  • :O Amazing

  • It's funny, I had this song stuck in my head for MONTHS and I had no idea where it came from...till I looked this up. Xenosaga's music MUST be that damn good. ^_^

  • You know, the fact that the game used one battle track throughout the entire game used to bother me. And then I got to the final boss, and this one blew me away.

    Absolutely love this track :)

  • Ahh.. Yasunori Mitsuda.. that's the Man

  • :o wow.. iv never played the games of this series but the music sure does sound kick ass

  • i have never played this rpg, but this sounds great. maybe i should give it a try.

  • @secroit You should definitely try this series out :) It's amazing.

  • Every battle song of this games is beatiful. Maybe the best feature of Xenosaga

  • I don't get why people hate on xeno2 so much! I LOVED that game! (I still haven't beat xeno 1, damn blue testament :<, I'm under leveled LOL) But I absolutely ADORED xeno 2! I liked the long cut scenes, all the albedo (*drools*) etc. Albedo is FUCKED up! xD xD xD Any game with a psycho villain is awesome :3... however, when I saw the famed robo-pedophile scene in xeno 1, I cracked up sooo bad! :D God Albedo, you're fucking awesome ^^

  • this song is beautiful. :3

  • STILL LISTENIN TO THIS FO LIKE 2 YEARS!

  • The bast battle song in the game!..... out of 2 battle songs lol. At least they were both very well composed. :p

  • I didn't like how they changed Shion and KOS-MOS's voices in part 2. Shion was just bad, KOS-MOS was ok but at least they changed the voices back in part 3. The vocal changes I thought were a good fit were for Chaos and MOMO. the latter especially, her voice in part one was very annoying.

  • I actually thought Shion's new voice was pretty nice. I loved how she said "OPEN! ETHER CIRCUITS!"

    I don't think you can really judge the voice actress for KOS MOS in Episode 2, because she never really had anything like lots of dialogue or important scenes to work with. KOS MOS got the least amount of lines in Episode 2.

  • You do raise a good point about Shion. I was was only dissapointed because her voice in part 2 was one I'd heard before. KOS-MOS's voice was fine with me. It just seemed odd that they changed it and then bothered to change it back.

  • I like both, but I suppose both worked well for the character. As for Kos Mos, i would have liked for her to... actually have any interesting dialogue before I passed judgement on her.

    Though Bridget Hoffman is an amazing voice actress.

  • @CinnabonChan its circut not circuts

  • Nah, in Episode One she's saying circuit, but in Two she really sounds like she's saying circuits. At least to me.

  • most epic final Battle music.

    I like tracks that begin "silent",just like here with that violin at the beginning :3

  • really refreshing! i love that track

  • kos-mos voice is off in xenosaga 2. notice shion now has the bratz chloe voice in xenosaga 2

  • you think thats bad look at jr's voice in 3 *shudders*

  • his voice is awesome

  • me and my friend have given this video aome pretty high views! LIKE 100 EACH!

  • the best rpg of all time is undoubtedly xenogears sorry guys but this music is epic

  • how did u record this? its comming out of all the speakers, not just 1. please answer this. i wood really like to kno how u did such an AWESOM job doin it. wow. lov it. im putting it on a cd! as xenosagakosmos123 said, u cant just leave kosmos out there to defend her self. it is just wrong. i am 1 of those people who if her roll modle walked up to her wood scream with delight. if kosmos did that, i wood scream till she shut me up. thats how much i lov her. u should to. dont u? awesome!!!!!!!!!!

  • it was an old method of High quality sound. It doesn't work on youtube anymore...

  • i wish it did. its so awesome! i refuse to listen 2 this song  if its not like this! can u record some scenes from xenosaga? like KOS-MOS vs T-elos?

  • I just bought the game and so far i love it

  • good... good

  • Xenosaga kicks ass! I think theres isn't enough Xenosaga on this list!

  • THANK YOU. This is one of my favorite Xeno songs. Definitely my favorite boss music, excepting possibly Grahf. This song is so unique and epic...it doesn't really fit the final boss of the game, which was like a mid boss in comparison to the bosses in Xenosaga III.

  • Yes, but it's still a wonderful sing. ^ ^

  • Comment removed

  • Xenosaga cant help it's music is so kick-ass, lol.

  • As much as Xenosagas aren't my favorite games..you have to admit that the 2 composer did an awesome job on the soundtracks

  • there making more because its a saga. plus, U CANT JUST LLEAVE KOSMOS OUT THERE IN SPACE WITH ONE ARM AND ONE LEG TO DEFEND HER SELF!!!! THATS JUST WRONG!!!!!!!!

  • Xenosaga the only RPG to come close to the quality of Final Fantasy maybe even exceed it. It's a shame there is only 3 games. This song is awesome.

  • couldnt agree more... I hope they are making a new game with the same style (future & fantasy) in the next gen console

  • What? A shame there are only 3 games? They were three AMAZING games and you really can't say that there as many Final Fantasy games that were as amazing especially for storyline. None (including and especially FFVII) had as in depth and amazing storylines as the Xenosaga series. These three Xenosaga games are worth their weight more than the entire Final Fantasy series.

  • There was apparently orginally 6 Xenosaga games planned. Also in the UK there is only 1 xenosaga game so it really isnt very popular here so yeah it is a shame. This is an unknown franchise to a lot of people. Also the developers have said thats it for Xenosaga there wont ever be another game so of course it is sad to see such a good franchise end.

  • Final Fantasy VII had a very good storyline!! Are you saying that Xenosaga has a better storyline than VII?? If so, I have to play this game, but don't hate on Final Fantasy VII because it was a very good game

  • FFVII was a fine game. I think most of the hate comes from the fact that the web is inundated with fanboys of the game that can't string together a better argument for it being great than: "FFVII RULZ!!" Of course, there are some legitimate reasons for not liking FFVII as well.

    In any case, the storyline of the Xenosaga games is perhaps more involved that FFVII, but whether it's better depends upon your tastes. I really liked it at least. The music, particularly in the third, is wonderful also.

  • the xenosaga series was very good it definitely is longer than final fantasy VII because of it being three games. I wouldn't compare them though. Xenosaga is definitely a great series and worth a playthrough. Episode 1 and 3 are awesome, 2 is the worst of the three.

  • kos-mos voice is off in xenosaga 2. notice shion now has the bratz chloe voice in xenosaga 2

  • Final Fantasy VII is dead. And we have killed it.

  • Well fucking said.

  • @stphocas actually, not many people like ep 2, but i love that episode....don't say FF series not worth it...TT ^ TT

  • @stphocas This.

    Freaking.

    This.

  • @stphocas their are actually five games Xenogears on the ps1 and xenoblade which is a spiritial sequel on the wii. it was only released in Japan though. I pray to god it comes to America soon.

  • @spazzzh20 Xenoblade is coming to Europe. all we can do is hope it comes here too. but i heard it was

  • @stphocas Although FF is up there in terms of having good storys, they just don't cut it with games like this and Chrono Cross Imo.

  • @stphocas 3 games that had amazing potential... that were not fully realized. The series was meant to be a 6 parter (just like Xenogears was conceptually supposed to be 6 games). The first game is the best one in terms of presentation and story. The second one is what killed the series more or less. It did not meet the expectations of the first game at all, completely falling short. The third game tried to rectify the problem (and it did), but it was completely bittersweet. The sad truth.

  • @stphocas It was always meant to be six games in the "Main" Xenosaga Series but Namco was going through money troubles at the time, Wonder how much more greater the series would have been if they had stayed the course, I wonder.

  • god i loved this game. cherrybomb anyone?

  • Very beautiful as always. I like the percussion in this too, adds a lot to it.

  • Xenosaga Episode 1 is my favorite game and this song is just awesome.

  • i fucked this boss up with erde kaiser...does 9999 damage on everything!

  • I love this song even if I'm stuck with Albedo since 2 months. I don't how u got rid of him

  • Comment removed

  • So did I and I felt like I was cheating.

  • Beauty reincarnated into song form could describe this piece...

  • Ah... I remember this.

  • how did u record this like this? its like its coming out of all the speekers, not just 1. ( dont answer this. well do, just in the coments)

  • I was surprised at this awesome boss music when I just came across it today =O goes to number 1 in my list!

  • I was a little thrown off when I heard this the first time in the game, but it really fits the theme of fighting to save the universe.

  • Pistis Sophia is suppose to represent the holy ghost, the mother of living. It has many names.

  • Thank you

  • ahh yes xenosaga...all 3 were awesome

  • well 2 kinda throw it of withe graphics and music and battles took like 20 minets but still ok game.I like 1 and 3 better

  • 2 definitely took some getting used to, but there were certain things i liked about it. And as always the story was phenomenal. But yes 1 and 3 were better

  • totely i mean if it had better battle music it might have been funer and the thing i liked about it was how you could do duble eather thing but it has its ups and downs

  • This should be higher up the list IMO.

  • +1 for my, probably best battle track EVER *__*

  • Comment removed

  • sophia peitos battle theme right? for the knowledgeable: why is that gnosis called sophia peithos?

  • Oooooooo I know this one! It's something about the Pistis Sophia, written by the Gnostics, right?

  • dont know thats why i was asking xD thanks for that tip though ill do some research

  • Wow, so you have a Top -100 and 100? So there's 200? I just now noticed that. Man, you know a lot of songs... you even have a Top 50 World Map list. My lists are very small compared to yours. I only have a top 25 battle theme list, top 30 boss theme list, and top 15 world map theme list. At least I got some though... lol. This was the last boss theme by the way right? Do you got the normal one somewhere in your list? Because that song is awesome too. ^^

  • Man, I love the fact that it doesn't sound like your average final boss theme. And the guy singing what i think is hallelujah near the beginning makes me feel like im listening to some kind of chant. yasunori mitsuda ftw!

  • Damn dude, where is Legend of Legaia's Songi boss theme, FF 9 Beatrix boss theme? lol

  • Lol the PSX's Xenosaga ftw xD

  • AKA Xenogears...

  • The opening reminded me of the final dungeon from Threads of Fate

  • OMG....I didn't think anyone else remembered that game beside me o.o

  • I did too! lol

  • this song was so much more different than the rest of the game,i listened to it before i even had the game and wondered where it came from, so you i was like o.O when i got to that boss.i thought the end battle theme was great too, i used to dislike leaving the exp screen.

  • i love the Violin thing...

  • what happened with the music from ep 2 and 3? episode 1 had the best :)

  • They changed composers; Yasunori Mitsuda who also did Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger was on the first episode but either left or was kicked out for episodes 2 and 3.

  • Absolutely beautiful. Mitsuda is my favorite vgm composer.

  • MITSUDA IS STILL MY GOD!!!

  • Yep, this is definitely a Mitsuda last boss theme.

  • man, love the song.love the game.

  • you are awsome i love song #33 I am a big fan of xenosaga

  • The normal battle music in the game put me to sleep... This was good. ^_^

  • Gotta love Yasunori Mitsuda, his songs are always epic

    just like Chrono Trigger :D

  • Gotta love the whole orchestral theme.

  • nice song.

  • beautiful damn itttttttttttt perfect!

  • this is... enchanting?

  • I've never played the xenosaga series but this song is awesome!

  • It's almost creepy to me when I played that battle, as it's a heavy, intense battle with a huge and powerful gnosis, but it's backed up by this wafting, smooth melody. It's almost like a counterpoint to the fury going on.

  • Wow you're right, and it was most exciting at the same time considering the battle music in the game had always been the same all the way through then BOOM this. I wasn't dissapointed at all ^_^

  • Yup. There's power in subtlety.

  • I love this theme so much, and the fact that it was the only change in battle theme's made me ten times more happy when I heard it.

  • Gotta love Xenosaga Series. Thanks for the upload.

  • I actually lost to this boss the first time!

    The music's always a treat, so I wouldn't mind fighting it over and over.

  • You must have not had Erde Kaiser. Though using hat robot feels like cheating.

  • I did, but I didn't want to use him. I wanted a challenge.

    I used Jr., KOS-MOS, and MOMO.

  • same XD!

    It just seem right to use them for this fight...

  • Damn brings back memories. I loved that ridiculous epic 30 second cut scene

  • :O I would have definitely put this higher on the list. lol This is an amazing song mixing the piano and violin together to make it amazingly epic. Classic Mitsuda, but so well done.

  • Holy **** its been a while since I've heard this. I was crazy about this game.

  • This is such an epic piece of music! I loved it so much when I first heard it at I didn't want to beat the battle until I heard it all the way through.

  • when the piano started to play, I was like

    "this is the greatest final boss piece i've ever heard in a while, lol"

    & my mouth was dropped too

  • ^^ I know

  • My jaw literally dropped open when this started playing, I didn't hit any commands for several minutes. Considering the song that follows this is also awesome it was an amazing ending.

  • so cool you should make more xenosaga1 videos i own all 3 games

  • oh, man. this was so perfect the first time i heard it. i just couldn't bring myself to kill the final boss when i had the chance...

    the music made me just stop and wait while i got my ass handed to me. oh well. i never actually finished this game, because i got mad when i died at the end and never went back to finish it. it's ok, though, since i just went on to episode 2. this track is just so awesome...

  • I love this song! Great last battle song for a great game!

  • Yeah, This is an awesome game. Too bad the sequels aren't as awesome...:(

  • Xenosaga III in my opinion is actually better than the first, an impressive feat

  • Yeah. III was pretty good, but I didn't like that they abandoned the battle system that they used for two games for an FF-like battle system.

  • Xenosaga III was acceptable. I just wish the game didn't feel so rushed... I loved Xenosaga I's battle system. It should totally be remade with III's graphics. xD;

    And they should just start all over, so we can all forget about Xenosaga II...

    I remember how excited I was to get that game on my birthday, and as soon as I started playing, I was like 'wtf'.

    The shion poster that came with the strategy guide was nice, tho. xD;

  • It is sort of messed up that they abandoned their Xenogears influenced battle system. Though I feel the FF menu style battle system is an improvement over the one from the second, and possibly over the first.
