About this Countdown:

Regarding the music chosen in this list: In the case that a theme appears in multiple games, I chose the version I preferred; All the music in this list is represented as it is heard in the game (no arrangements); Music from action RPGs are included at my discretion (as in, what I consider to be either an action RPG or an action/adventure game avid RPG players are likely to play and/or enjoy for the same or similar reasons they would any other RPG).

Fanboys/girls are bound to flip a $hit when this list is complete, but please don't personally e-mail me your own incensed fanboy/girl diatribes and opinions on this countdown

Yeah, I love this theme. In general, Episode III felt like the best and most complete game in the series.

[trewerd]

Especially since it has an in-game encyclopedia about the whole story.

[armyofshadows]

The battles against T-elos. Epic.

[monticrystal]

This boss theme sounds like a remix of the boss theme on Xenogears!

[SBaby]

Yes. Obi Wan has taught her well.

[yuukisama2001]

Hard to believe this is Yuki Kajiura. When it starts it's hard to tell, but once you get in smooths itself out you can hear it. I was very surprised to when I heard she was involved with the series' soundtrack.

[billyez]

This song right here? Yeah, it beats the HECK out of "Battle" in Xenosaga I. I say that as someone who used to think Mitsuda was the best thing ever - THIS is how you make an intense battle theme.

[spacesex101]

I love this song... ah the memories!Back when I was still discovering the truth about the Xenosaga story! Happy days...

[Suprem900masta]

fatal fight oft margulis was great, also. I'm still going, hoping that you've included the theme on your list
