(Former) [Top 100 RPG Battle Themes] #32 - Final Fantasy

Game - Final Fantasy XIII
Song - Saber's Edge
Composer - Masashi Hamauzu

Notes: Somewhat typical Masashi, but I adore the build-up of this song.

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.

This song is sooo boring (just like the game).

Well, it is your list after all though I will never understand how you can place this higher than great themes like Meaning of Birth or Hardcore to the Brain...

@Selgorn

The reason i chose this song is for the build-up and musical phrase length. You cannot tell me the epic crescendo at 2:04 doesn't do anything for you lol. I, obviously, don't consider this song boring.

wow its not even out yet, how'd u get the track then? Excuse my ignorance.

[tomenaki]

I actually got it from a rip of the music from the Demo released with Final Fantasy: Advent Children Complete in Japan.

[evilfuzz86]

really reminiscent to some of FF tactics music

[eggman02]

this game isn't even out yet, and this song has already skyrocketed to the top of my favorite FF battle themes

[Kelthuzarrr]

This soundtrack seems to be stolen from an angel.

[Laviathan05]

[zidane0196]

Final Fantasy XIII is better than Final Fantasy X.

[ImpromptuLeapfrog]

I half expect Wil Knights to make an appearance in FFXIII now.

[BluShadesX]

Truely underrated

[444Frey]

Oh my god... I really overrated Final Fantasy XIII

[canofwin]

imo this game was too easy, and yet too hard still. the main story was so easy i had it beat in 50 hrs(approx) but the final final boss from all those crystal side quests was unreasonably tough. still funny when you have all uber maxed equips and maxed out crystariums and hes hard XD

@chumdit

Believe it or not but I even finished it (but more because of defiance than anything else). The characters are okay (many cliches but okay) and the graphic is great but the rest?

The story is in the end nothing else than "Save the world!" again and is unable to create a spark of tense, the soundtrack is nothing special (sry tomenaki) and the combat system is a joke. Not as simple as many people claim it to be but it is nothing else than just smashing the same buttons over and over.

@Selgorn dude have you even played the game?

or are u just giving in to the unhype of everyone dissing it?

cause imo this game was awesome
