Fave VGM #076: "Howl of the Departed" ~ Nobuo Uematsu

Here's another exceptional song from the great Nobuo Uematsu. This time it's from the RPG "Lost Odyssey". This song really riles me up whenever I hear it. I love the ominous choir intro and the transition to the hard rock.

loved this song so fucking much and i actually got a negative comment just ofor saying it was my favorite VGM

[StakeJade]

Yeah, I saw that. Probably because you said that it was the "map song".

"Howl of the Departed" is probably my favorite RPG final boss theme... next to "One-Winged Angel" of course.

i meant to change it earlier but i have been busy =D and i do like the real map song as well.

[StakeJade]

Me too! :)

It's #57 of my VGM picks.

This is an awesome song, and i love the game!

[StakeJade]

I love it too. It's one of my favorites on the XBOX 360! To me... it even rivals Final Fantasy X in terms of characters and story.

Such an epic song and yet I only just found out about it.Seems like a lot of people don't know it exists, on a side note, I like FF for Black Mage, but I hate it for inventing fireaga!What a lazy ass way to name a spell!Now those types of spell names are everywhere!It's like God of War and it's quicktime events!A succesful game and invented a terrible feature.Hate quicktime events, I got enough quicktime event in mercenaries 2 to last me an entire lifetime.

@HatmasterM Consider yourself ashamed.

[HatmasterM]

Wow... I've got to say, Uematsu has yet again outdone himself. I've never even heard of this game, though.

This is the most amazingly intense final boss scene I've ever heard. 8'D

Necron's theme can't even come CLOSE TO THIS.

I'm so in love.

Excellent!

[SoulYume]

Yes, so close yet so far eh?
