#27 - A Bell is Tolling (Ice Palace) - Secret of Mana

The most atmospheric song in the game (aside from the Pure Lands theme). Starts off slow but picks up.

Also loved this song from Secret of Mana, along with the Snow area theme, the battle w/ Thanatos & the snow area w/ the wolves.

Having the urge to play again :D.

All great songs :).

This game had the most mystifying, howling, enchanting and just straight hard beats I have ever heard in any game. It is my favorite game ever

This theme captures the mood of the palace to a so eloquently. I fucking love this game.

SECRET OF MANA = BEST GAME EVAR

@papakrunk The amount of passion and inspiration and creativity poured into this game is amazing. 15 years later, and in many respects it has yet to be outdone.

This song WHACKED me!

@OrcishSlacker Damn, over a year? That's dedication. =D

[OrcishSlacker]

Ho-ly Shit... I'm having serious flashbacks to my teenaged years listening to the opening... You know how a few bars of a certain song can cause you to have flashbacks to memories you my have otherwise never visited again? This song is triggering that, in a good way. This game was an epic conquest for me; over a year of waiting for some idiot to return it to the rental place, then playing it. Pure bliss. I can only imagine what this music would have been like if it stayed a CD-ROM game.

This is the one thing I don't get. Why is the awesomely uber-epically calming, and still very disturbing - because of giving so incredibly much the opposite feeling that the vicious and deadly beasts you meet while hearing this give you - Pure Land Theme not in your countdown?

You even mention it being more atmospheric than tolling bell in the video description.

PS: I also don't get Yearnings of the wind's bad score o.O

This was the first RPG I ever played as well as the first Square game.

The first screencap is the best. Not because the Girl and the Boy both have Swords somehow, but because Sprite just Falcon Punched a turtle.
