[Top 100 RPG Battle Themes] #5 - Shadow Hearts

The Top 10!

Game - Shadow Hearts: Covenant
Song - The 3 Karma ~ Decisive Battle
Composer - Yoshitaka Hirota, Yasunori Mitsuda, Kenji Ito

Notes: Three of the four composers of the Shadow Hearts Covenant soundtrack came together and made this masterful piece of work. I don't particularly like Kenji Ito's work, but here, his input has made a stunning piece. Epic.... all I can say is Epic.

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.

I used to hate the part with the static singing...now I love it. X-x Does anyone know what they're saying?

[tomenaki]

I wish i knew... actually for a lot of Shadow Hearts songs i wish i knew what was being said in the background. lol

It's unfortunate that you hate Ito so much.

The SaGa battle themes have always been amazing, even though they're not what people like to call "epic".

[tomenaki]

I liked what i heard of his SaGa works, i just did not know of them or had heard them until recently. Kenji just makes me sad since he did good work back then, but i have yet to hear anything since that has impressed me.

All three Shadow Hearts game, has an epic final battle music!

Someone for the love of all that is holy extend this masterpiece.  I actually WANT someone to beat me to it so I'd know how other people would extend this.

[GodsEaterAldath]

LOVE how they made a secondary character from the previous game a GREAT villian to this one :)

@IReaperr I must know: PLEASE translate it!

[MrCyberSiren]

all i can say... is much better than imbroglio... i think thats how u spell it :P

[IReaperr]

@restlessZombie92 I vid quality is really bad for this song. I have to get out the game and play the boss to translate it. From what i can understand, its a ritual almost like an exorcism.

[restlessZombie92]

@IReaperr would you mind to create a lyrics and translate video for this song, so all of the SH:Covenant fans finally know what this voices are singing?

[Mrs4inchheels]

@Rignite AHH!!!! ~Gets creeps~ I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT UNTIL NOW!! THAT'S SCARY!!!!

[MagnusMKI]

@ameryllw funny that you said that, seeing as the works of HP Lovecraft and the concept of losing one's sanity is one of the key components of Shadow Hearts battle system lol
