And Noah is, in character, a very obvious callback to Fei and his many different incarnations. Insane how after all this time, they never forgot about the story they thought up in 1998
It's been over a year and I remain completely changed by this experience! I'm glad to have been alive to see the journey from Xenogears to Xenoblade and beyond.
To be honest it's a shame that Kametz passed away because of his acting (as Ferdinand, Maruki, Josuke etc) and Engage overall would have been better with him around. Still it is impressive that I like Griss' va as much as Ferdinand's
Teenage me was disappointed that this was the final boss music I was all like "Where is the bombastic over the top epic final boss music?!" As an adult I feel the somber theme, and I know with the overall theme of self sacrifice and loss this theme couldn't fit any better
Majin Tensei II's OST deserves to be held in the same esteem as the very best the SNES has to offer, up there with Chrono Trigger, FFVI, and others of that caliber. It's insane that these sounds are coming from an SNES.
Xeno Saga has a precedent of actually consulting with Bandai Namco, so there is a good chance. However, Xenogears thinks it would be very difficult to get a permit from Square Enix
i heard they were working on a remake trilogy of xenosaga, but for like 6 years on giving us that news, i don't know if they forgot, but i still hope for a remake since i also didn't play those games
Killer song with a heavy influence from XBC1's Zanza the Divine. On a side note, when Alpha vanished into his rift, i got distinct Fog King vibes. Could Alpha have been the Fog King in FC?
honestly, most likely not I can't really get into it without going into heavy spoily territory for Xenosaga but basically the ending of this game links it and Saga together in an insanely significant way, even arguably down to the point of offering an explanation for the annihilation events
@@linuxwizzerd5908Takahashi recently gave an explanation for the black fog for the Aionios Moments art book, and it's not Xenosaga related at all, as far as i know and remember.
@@eduardobustamante4749 I did, and it's interesting. I would've preferred it if the lyrics were not reversed like that so it's easier to follow along. Regardless, I still love these songs for what they have.
Just playing Xenoblade 1-3 isn‘t enough to understand it. Highly recommend playing Xenogears and Xenosaga if you want the full experience that this series has to offer (and maybe play Xenoblade X too)
The algorithm queued this and I suddenly became a beast at work when the chips were down, cheers. Update: Today I learned that editing a comment loved by OP removes the love.
The composer's whole family worked on the design for this one. Metoya viewed it for design, his wife Yuko wrote the lyrics making it Italian, and there nine year old daughter Miu is the vocalist for the song. If this game wasn't underrated (even if I never heard of this game before then ironically enough) this boss theme would probably be one of history's most classics.
While I may have higher ranking boss themes, this story keeps this as one of my absolute favorites. I hope the upcoming switch port brings more eyes to this gem.
This is a really great song, but it would’ve been nice if I hadn’t had to fight the same few bosses on repeat every map for what felt like half the game…
