Baten Kaitos OST - Violent Storm

[@AWACSRAYMOND]

Man, Sakuraba's work is so restrained when he only has synthesized instruments, but when he has the resources, he's a genius to behold!

[@EnragedSephiroth]

Motoi Sakuraba is pretty much Dream Theater for video games.

[@thefgcsensei4482]

100% support this comment. also listen to Guilty Gear Strive OST since it has a lot of DT influences on show

[@justaguy12345]

The beginning sounded a like Final Fantasy battle song. =p I love Motoi Sakuraba. His work is AMAZING. The drums and guitar in his songs along with the chord progressions are just fantastic.

[@Doppia_A]

I want a Baten Kaitos remake :(

[@mielthesquid6536]

I don't think it will ever happen but a remaster or a port on modern system would be already super great.

[@Kryptnyt]

They just need to clean up the spoken audio and the game is perfect

[@jaxxh6529]

nintendo switch..... please?!!!!! hahahahahahaha

[@5oul5trike]

guess what xd

[@pixel_stream8245]

Boy oh boy, do we have some exciting rumors for you

[@Darkjamac04]

the electric guitar was what really blew me away makes you wonder what goes through Motoi Sakuraba's head when he makes these amazing songs

[@ThePokeRalls]

The man is well known to be a legend in video game orchestrating.

[@ElectTheMusic]

It's time

[@Spooky_Sunday]

Imagine Dream Theater would play this! Awesome!

[@Shyningfade]

This entire soundtrack is so... so... *Kreygasm*

[@Dingus_Mcbingused]

This is the song you play when you slay gods

[@oxygendestroyer334]

1:45 - 2:00 sounds so goddamn badass

[@Crimsomnia]

Damn nice those Gamma Ray riffs 👍

[@TheSchoolyD]

So this guy composed Dark Souls music?! Are you shitting me?! Where is my epic symphonic metal boss music FROM?!

[@xviinaichi3793]

LOL??

[@Edokin89]

Both Baten Kaitos games are my top favorite RPG. They both have great battles and epic battle music. :D

[@METROIDKILLERX]

It is :P That's 3 guitars we got playin' there.

[@Garm_Legend]

coolest final boss theme

[@ChaosInsanist]

Absolute MADNESS! No, this is not madness... This... Is... KALAS! Such an amazing track.

[@andrescarrerocardenas9477]

my favorite keyboard player :D

[@MarthandIke92]

The beginning is epic!

[@WorldWalker128]

Have at thee, oh Darkness, Valshan Valara!*(*Until my heart stops) I love this song. It gets me hyped up.

[@HiroCascade]

The Decisive Battle. Close though. ^^ This and that are good songs!

[@TophDaGreat]

One day this theme will be in smash and it will be glorious.

[@JdSpoof]

Any Baten Kaitos character in Smash has been my dream

[@IoannisChatzikyriakos]

At least there's the valedictory elegy

[@dracolosseshineykadentheki2610]

AQUA BURST AQUA BURST AQUA BURST AQUA BURST AQUA BURST

[@Ashogo]

oh damn, it actually does sound like that! That's awesome!

[@vikenlugaid]

Best final boss theme ever

[@SMgoodner]

Oh my god I love this game.

[@superaleksibros]

Epic!

[@brentonwright2594]

Love this game and its soundtracks! :-)

[@Rellik165]

Indeed. The man also composed Dark souls.

[@Awesomeisme7000]

Just me or does this sound sort of like a Guilty Gear song?

[@OccuredJakub12]

It totally sounds straight outta XX. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the composers from GG worked on this.

[@ShadyPerson99]

Reminds me of Meet Again from guilty gear XX

[@Oag1992]

sakuraba is an unstoppable force

[@vitinho298]

Had a eargasm from 2:00 - 2:15

[@granis1233]

still in awe at how the music for this game was

[@Resulli]

I've never heard a better final boss theme than this. It's absolutely amazing and just pumps you up.

[@haskinmom]

The beginning is super g00d

[@HiroCascade]

I tried getting my friends to play this (just a few days ago) and they thought it was too complicated. >.>

[@Dingus_Mcbingused]

tbh i thought these games were complicated too but after playing it and talking to that kid by the well i had the game figured out

[@arterialshadow]

I agree, I would love another Baten Kaitos, too many people didn't get to see the game, if they remade it, or came out with another one I know it will go big.

[@warlyte]

This song appeals to the passion of the Fire elemental. Elementals really appeal to me, just so everyone knows.

[@Tom12345678987654321]

Begin is so epic ! :o

[@Archerr12]

I didnt play Baten Kaitos much (finished it anyway :D) But I so much loved those OST that now I feel like any new J-RPG OST is a copy... Can hear some things that are the same *.* Anyway, Love it. Keep on going you japanese geniuses :D

[@JoeSakana]

gotta love the jazz organ solo at 2:00

[@bastouche34]

@RadikTheReaper1 yes its used in tales of* ans ACS game. i think is a mix.

[@kapalottyt9901]

That musical note and rhythm is a similarity to Vega's background theme also known as "Crimson" from Street Fighter Alpha & ZERO 3 0:00

[@onxgamer]

And is similarity to Final Fantasy 6 boss theme

[@Xienis]

@FunnyLilCat Baten Kaitos 3 for the Wii is a no brainer, think about the possibilities of using the Wii mote to grab cards and use them in battle.

[@MrStrifeDP]

I read somewhere that they tried to do that muffling sound on purpose; since you're a "Guardian Spirit", it's supposed to emphasize that you're viewing them from another dimension. Or something.

[@CinemaZebra]

I NEED THIS CD.

[@starcraftfan1000]

the boss fights in this game.. so fucking epic

[@aim120C]

that solo at 2;15... wow

[@unknownone3232]

Lets see who's worthy....MALPERCIO!! god damn i love this battle xD

[@FlashMaster20000]

but my ears are dancing

[@Finhelm]

Lack of personality? What i couldn't find less in this game was personality in the characters. Entrancing story, full of twists and plots, and very human characters, as well as rocking soundtracks... It rules, yes

[@yurimessias11]

Some parts sound like Castlevania + Kill the king (Rainbow), awesome

[@5oul5trike]

just in time

[@joannett88]

Take this!... Huh!... Kyaahh!!... Is that all you got!?

[@BioticsGaming]

AQUA BURST! AQUA BURST! CHRONOS BLOW~! LIGHT FLARE~~!

[@mytube25988]

Awesome epic battle. Malpercio really was a pain if you don't use strong combos. That damn enchanted blade of his healed him so much.

[@ModelOz]

@XharchianValor This. So much this. Sakuraba really only shines nowadays when he utilizes orchestral or heavy rock stuff. His synthesizer stuff pales in comparison.

[@AirahsELL]

They're making another Golden Sun, so they could probably do something else with Baten Kaitos.

[@CinemaZebra]

Yup.

[@deoxxys]

lol resident evil voie acting. "TAKE A LOOK AT THIS!" "What is this?" "STOP, Dont open the door!!!"

[@BioticsGaming]

Melodia:YES! (Orgasms)

[@McBehrer]

I beat this boss, but it was such a fluke it was rediculous. Everyone was dead but Xelha, and she was close. The only attack I had was a Fire lvl 1, And I used it and somehow won... And only on my second try, too! ahh, Nostalgia... i love it...

[@TheCrimsonPower]

@Xolotl8 you need to obtain the "Shampoo" card after 2 weeks (in real-time) of gameplay, it will become the "Splended Hair" card, which will unlock all of the music tracks. I know, it sux D:

[@W0lfb0y13]

i want to replay the game, but my bro took my gamecube along with my games i rlly liked the story of this game series

[@princetrunks06]

both were good, but if you play this one first, origins' feels more fun because you can see the younger versions of many characters. Both have crazy plot twists. Especially this one.

[@davidsoundremixer.7861]

Someday i see the live of this máster piece. Someday.....

[@bastouche34]

hey... the music of baten kaitos was used in ACS game.

[@tarkeke]

@tirihashi you can turn of the voices in the options lol

[@princetrunks06]

i was comparing the kalas twist to the marno twist actually. I think the one concerning kalas was really unexpected.

[@ShinseiWarujima]

I'm gunning for either Kalas, Sagi, Guilo or Verus-Wiseman. Or have Sagi's Final Smash having Verus-Wiseman pwning the screen.

[@Littleattack]

golden sun is where its at

[@TheCrimsonPower]

@Xolotl8 I know, the game doesn't take near 2 weeks to complete, & If you wait early in the game the time will screw up your magnus. D:

[@tarkeke]

@WorldWalker128 how? I mean, what is it in eternal wings that didn't make sense? just curious =)

[@PencilShavings]

is there anywhere i can download the full album cause every where its one song at a time

[@Darkjamac04]

Malpercio was a bitch! Even though I was struggling the whole time, I still had to bang my head to this song!

[@Nejove]

Well I don't know how likely we are to see a Baten Kaitos for the Wii, but what I will say is that for whatever reason Eternal Sonata vaguely reminded me of Baten Kaitos. I guess their soundtracks are pretty similar sounding if nothing else. Given this game's soundtrack is on par with a game about a freaking classical composer, that's obviously a compliment.

[@MathewHaswell]

Have you bought the collection for Switch?

[@DeviDoesNothing]

why does the beginning sound like The Decisive Battle - Final Fantasy VI

[@McBehrer]

GAAAAAH!!! I can't think of where this plays! where was it...

[@themnems5387]

Final boss?

[@TheCrimsonPower]

@Xolotl8 I'll have to check it out, I'd love to complete 100% of the game someday :D

[@Rellik165]

Sakuraba did Star Ocean as well? He's been around.

[@3of19]

I rarely had problems with BK's combat system, but maybe that was because I had been playing CCGs for years at that time so was used to deck building.

[@ModelOz]

@tarkeke Don't even get me started on Eternal Sonata's music, which I somehow forgot about. The music in that game is SEXY. Proof that Sakuraba needs to do orchestral more often.

[@TheCrimsonPower]

@Xolotl8 that's a good idea, lol, I have the Strategy Guide, & I've only learned 2 combos xD

[@eastsidehomie3]

This song should be in the next smash bros

[@negljbreakergaming]

+eastsidehomie3 Kalas should be in the next smash bros

[@kalastv1740]

+Particlepants or not...

[@titolegros6267]

+Kalas TV or totally the fuck yes

[@Dingus_Mcbingused]

Yes and hopefully baten kaitos will receive the noteriety it so deserves to get the 3rd game made like with shulk and xenoblade chronicles@@negljbreakergaming

[@CitrusTsunami]

These characters should be in Smash Bros!

[@lucca5367]

The intro of the song reminds me of FF6 and a bit rest of the song gives me huge SMT vibes.

[@JMTheScientist]

I have just realized that maybe this theme borrows some notes of the intro from Final Fantasy VI Boss Battle Theme. Nonetheless, both are amazing!

[@MotorGoblin]

Rainbow influence is clear here.

[@ZPokemonfanA]

Holy shit, this music is so insanely epic! Screw Kalas, Xelha, Gibari and all those other guys, let me in there, give me cards so I can kick that god of destruction ass all the way to Mira and back!

[@CynicalGamingBlogTerry309]

But you are the guardian spirit, you get all the best cards (spirit magnus). You're basically the most uber character in the game.

[@ZPokemonfanA]

brainjuice654 Maybe, but it's more fun to actually kick his ass then to just sit back and watch.

[@harbingerofboom6489]

ZPokemonfanA Helll YEAHH!!

[@thedarkflowkiller]

Hey everyone. I'm currently working of a nice guitar cover of Violent Storm. Hope I'll finish it soon. Cheers

[@lordedbob]

Lol, I used an all attack magnus deck. It works really well against everything :D

[@tusarkhanx]

this theme just make want to kick the players out and jump myself into the game screen to fight with malpercio all by myself.sakuraba is the best!

[@LuluTeala]

This song sounds like an FF song and an SMT song had a baby

[@MaxUltimata]

@devilhunter369 Both soundtracks were composed by Motoi Sakuraba. As good as his soundtracks are, they have a bad habit of sounding similar to one another.

[@MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

What about 'Ruler of the nine skies'?

[@DevilSoma]

@szlatyka to me is like a mix ("festival of servant" from castlevania SOTN - "Beat the Angel" from Tales of Symphonia- "Decisive Battle" from FFV)I

[@szeltovivarsydroxan9944]

If I didn't know I would've guessed that's some Falcom game's music lol

[@Macdaddy487]

this sounds like a Guilty Gear track =O

[@thecheeto]

At the start, it sounds like the boss theme from Final Fantasy 3/6.

[@jaxxh6529]

pleas bring this game and origins to the #nintendo switch

[@ZPokemonfanA]

WISH GRANTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ModelOz]

@Kohdok WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRR!?

[@Rhenan66]

was the intro a reference to ffvi's boss theme?

[@TheElegantShadow]

Sounds like Guilty Gear music.

[@Tom12345678987654321]

Need a guitar tab of the intro ;o
