This is the "Fatal Fight" theme against E.S Levi from Xenosaga III. Enjoy! I do not own Xenosaga or any of its music and characters. All content in the Xenosaga series belongs stricly to Monolith Soft.
"AS A WARRIOR.... AND AS A MAN ! I WILL LEAVE MY MARK UPON THE WORLD ! " This fantastic quote really convinced me on how much Margulis was an absolutely fantastic character, and how much he didn't deserved what happened to him in the 3rd episode. At the end, it was a real tragedy.
This song captured the sadness of Margulis as well as his warrior's heart. He fought to the end even if all he had was his pride, his last duel with Jin.
I was thinking the same thing. Even though he realized his life's work had all been a delusion and he knew he would lose to Jin he fought on out of honor. Very much a Japanese Bushido philosophy.
Best boss fight in the game. Fatal fight has always been my favorite song ever since i first listened to it, it basically what got me into the series, and hearing this more emotional and sad version while margulis is kicking my ass in his final battle is a priceless experience
The last fight against Margulis is the coolest and most climatic fight of the game. I loved it how Margulis lost everything and was completely betrayed. But he still laughed at his fate and confronted the only one suited for ending his life and capable of understanding him for this final fight. No need to say that I immediately fell in love with this song. It suits the epicness of this battle just fine and is probably my favourite piece of bgm in any game. R.I.P. Margulis and Jin.
Oh God. I remember tearing up when this music started playing at this fight. Margulis is an antagonist, but you can't help but feel sad for him at what happens after.
I remember when I was began the fight I was all fired up, and we were going at it... ...and then my mind registered this song at around 50 seconds in... ...and I had to put my controller down and just LISTEN. I was that stunned, that breathless. It's got to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Thank you for the upload :D
I remembered hearing this song when I bought Xenosaga episode 1 reloaded and they give you the extra DVD which has trailer for episode 2 and it's playing this song (the original one) I was like watch that trailer around a thousand times because of this beautiful song. I still kept the DVD'S. Thank GOD.
This or the bonus track Jr. Theme from XS2 was probably my favorite music from the entire series... or maybe even Albedo's Theme from XS1... it was epic too... this whole series was epic to the extreme.
Such an amazing game, this song is freaking awesome! That fight against Margulis was one of the most epic moments in all JRPGs for me, seeing Jin go all out against him. Xenosaga 3 was too damn good man.
This song has that feel of a person getting in one of those epic one-on-one duels that take epic proportions, and you just just end up not caring who wins the fight anymore.
And yet at the same time, addictive. At this point in the game I pretty much gave myself up for masochism and kept continously fighting him, with various strategic alterations until eventually I succeeded. Der Wille Zur Macht, indeed.
Vessels of anima.. played such a little role in Episodes I and II with two having a little more importance. But III made them.... plot items and had some really good boss battles revolving around them
It's a huge shame this song is only in one fight during the whole game, if I recall, because it is a fantastic battle song. Not quite as upbeat as the Episode II mix, but there's a huge amount of emotion, it being the final battle between Jin and Margulis. The techno feel of the original wouldn't have quite been as fitting.
We need Xenosaga remakes..... if only just so that we can here this piece of music again, without spending hundreds of dollars (I don't own a PS2 or PS3, or the games :( ).
That fucking E.S fight with margulis ..was the most painful fight I gone through..it was exciting and damn long heheh its been a long time since I've heard this one ..good memories..
wow. i never knew that about the development. Thats so sad, but understandable. I kinda appreciate this game more because of what they DID accomplish with what they had.
Best fight in Ep. III for me, wonderfully frantic and challenging. It often takes sheer luck just to get by E.S Levi's overpowered attacks. UZUUUUUUUUUUUUKI!!!!
May god bless yuki kajiuras voice and vocal skills. My only regret is not playing the xenosaga games. Heres to an HD collection one day. Or i could just play them on emulator.
Lyrics (what they sound like to me): "Your balsamic, garlic, garlic, hey!" "Come slowly, hey two tay hee, yay! The test of Mia! Call me Ed, hey two tay hee, yay me! The best of Mia! Alanliyamo Mia!"
If the developers had any sense, they would continue this series. I may have been like 3 when it came out, but I still think they're a hell of a lot better than most games these days.
(I know this is years old but I still want to clarify) Originally there were suppose to be 6 games but only 3 mainline titles were released. After the first game the other 2 weren’t doing well in terms of sales. They were also made by MonolithSoft who at the time was owned by Bandai Namco but they were bought out by Nintendo and the rights to Xenosaga were kept by Bandai Namco (a similar situation that occurred with Xenogears and Square Enix). It’s not that the developers didn’t want to make another one but it’s just that due to copyright they can’t since Bandai owns the rights and not Nintendo. Tho I wouldn’t count Xenosaga out just yet as unlike Square Enix, Bandai Namco has let the team at Monolith use the Xenosaga characters KOS-MOS and T-elos in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 as cameos.
@@N120Xeno what’s even sadder is that episodes 1 and 2 were originally supposed to be episode 1, and episode 3 was going to be the start of episode 2. so we got only a fourth of the final story…
This version of the music is even better than the original song in my opinion, because it's like a mix of the 'epic feeling' of the original music plus the 'sign of a ending coming soon' because this is the last time they fight against each other, amazing soundtrack.
Yes, especially later. Jin and Shion's problems should have been explored further. Same with Jin and Pellegri's cryptic relationship. Margulis and Pellegri, on their end, went from fairly complex and identifiable characters in Episode I to generic villains in II and III.
They have sense but developers aren't always the ones in the reins. Namco canned the project and then Nintendo bought Monolith Soft. This led to a staff restructuring and theproject was completely rebooted with Xenoblade and X being the new "Xeno" entries and both being entirely self-contained.
Indeed. Shion was just completely pointless to everything, except for the fatKOS-MOS had a hard-on for protecting her. Then they made her into the cause of everything and blah blah blah, it was so forced at that point. I was sad we didn't even get a peak of why Margulis, Pellegri and Jin's friendship died, or why Pellegri dumped Jin for Margulis. Or heck, why Margulis killed Jin's grandfather.
@LeonardLayten Thats why you learn to charge. Free HP up and temp DEF up for that turn. Also, if you pay attention to the elemental attributes of attacks, you can equip accessories that can help defend against that attack. Non elemental one hit kills are pretty scarce in that game
I liked this song so much that when I got to this fight, I just put the controller down and listened, probably about 15 minutes, then thoroughly beat the Shi- out of Margulis.
"balsamic dressing yeah got it yet. Bushine enter in to it yeaaaah you can taste the meat. then let me eat the rest of it. yum yum balsamic on me!" what the lyrics sound like to me LOL
I know, but they still shouldn't have stopped Xenosaga after three games. Plus, the way they set up the ending makes you think it will be continued. I wanna know what happens to KOS-MOS!
