[Top 100 RPG Battle Themes] #42 - Tales of Vesperia

Game - Tales of Vesperia
Song - The Final Showdown
Composer - Motoi Sakuraba, Hibiki Aoyama

Notes: This song is what Motoi does well, but is controlled by Hibiki Aoyama's influence. I simple love the epic nature of this song. It's Motoi, not sounding like typical Motoi

Welcome to the Top 100 RPG Battle Themes playlist. This is a representation of the 100 best songs spanning my gaming history of RPG's. Some of these games, I haven't played, others I have spent countless hours on, but the music has stuck with me for whatever reason. I have tried my best to not have too many from one game or series.

This list was updated in April 2011.

Nearly all of Motoi's work in Baten Kaitos sounds completely different from his usual tri-Ace fare. Also your list has a total absence of Yuzo Koshiro =/

[tomenaki]

I've never played or really knew of the games he's done when i made this list, so that's why Yuzo isn't here.

[AkagenoAdol]

To say that it doesn't sound like typical Sakuraba fare is almost lying, but that doesn't make this song kick any less ass. I love it!

[tomenaki]

the whole song itself is a very "controlled" version of Motoi's work. As in it's not going crazy with the "guitar" riffs and crazy Synth Organ. I mean, he's a good composer, but sometimes i really want him to do something different, like this. lol

[Terestrasz]

Personally I felt this deserves a little higher but still, top ten...deserving.

[tomenaki]

It's a very good song. The Top 10 is basically songs that are very close to the same rank for me, so it's a great honor for it to be here, at least in my opinion. Glad you like it. :)

I still think that the Flynn fight song should be somewhere on this list, but this song is amazing.

In fact, the whole soundtrack is amazing, though possibly not as catchy as Symphonia, but still!

One of the latest Tales makes it's entrance with quite a large bang in the top 10 list, taking 9th.

Not a bad choice.

[OgnarPliskin]

Only #41?

[restlessZombie92]

@tomenaki yeah, it's great, but not so "freaky" like in the Star Ocean series xD

[cacayomen]

Brave Vesperia= Death to the whole team=(

[G0d0fHope]

Epic piece. :P

[wingsofhope2]

The intensity of this is probably what distracted me from my declining HP... thank you Estelle!

[Klookko]
