[Top 100 RPG Battle Themes] #6 - Shadow Hearts

The Top 10!

Game - Shadow Hearts: Covenant
Song - Astaroth ~ Battle with the Fallen Angel
Composer - Yasunori Mitsuda

Notes: Mitsuda pulled out all the stops for this piece and it shows. Stunning, with a beautiful mix of time signatures and changing drums beats really make this piece wonderful.

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.

Holy procreating shit, it's Shadow Hearts Covenant making it's entrance on the sixth spot, just prior to the top 5 with one of it's camler songs to boot.

That's... a surprise, to say the least.

[tomenaki]

Why is it a surprise? Just because a battle song is calmer does not make it any less amazing.

I actually think the fact that this IS a "calmer" song is what makes it so amazing. It is epic and yet not "GRAWR!!!! I AM EPIC PHEAR ME!!!!"

Yasunori at his best, in this.

Wow...this sounds absolutely beautiful.

......This is a battle theme?

[AjiraCtelin1993]

@tomenaki I didn't think a 'calm' epicness even existed until just now.

[MrCyberSiren]

@Crazetex well, you might want another copy, cuz the best is yet to come (gamplaywise)

[Puremage91694]

@Crazetex um..... about that.....

[Crazetex]

One of the best final boss tracks ever.

Yes, he was the final boss. There was no second disk.

[TrulySilentLie]

@KayneArcheron I totally agree, the shadow hearts legacy will live on, to bad it is so underrated.

[KayneArcheron]

I wish more people had played the Shadow Hearts games... one of my favorites of all time besides the Chrono games, Final Fantasy 6, Odin Sphere, and Lost Odyssey
