defeating the Krakens in Magicant feels so accomplishing because this time you didn't have the captians vital help of throwing his slipper, making you feel more powerful then before

[@RickyRiceB]

While everyone seems to like 0:47 (for a good reason it rocks), 0:25 always stuck out for me because of how the energy of the song seems to suddenly slow down. And it’s at the right portion of most fights that I begin to realize that I may be in for a stressful and long fight. Given how most of the enemies that use this theme are meant to be major roadblock enemies.

[@sexercat]

I will tell you an anecdote. I put on a music playlist while playing minecraft. And the fact is that I forgot that I added a mod that added leviathan monsters to the seas. Just by chance of fate, when I was attacked by one of those leviathans while I was swimming. This music started playing on my list. I beat him but I stayed half a heart. It was epic.

i've never actually beaten earthbound before, but i've tried to play it many times. i've been attempting another playthrough recently and i finally got past threed for the first time and this is one of the only battle themes i haven't heard once from this game and i was so caught off guard by the intro. i had to like take a minute to listen to this entire song before i kept playing. this is definitely my favorote battle theme so far from this game. i think mother 3's ost will always be my personal favorite but this entire series has such great music. this is probably my favorite snes ost though.

[@IAm-zo1bo]

I like earthbound's ost more, felt more memorable.

[@JuhusOnY]

this is such a wholesome comment

[@coronaradiata3065]

The only time I played through it was with cheats, because my Wii's SD card ate my saves halfway through the game. Really need to finish the game legit one of these days.

[@drakejoshofficialyoutubech5569]

Yeah man I feel that. For me, I probably would've never finished the game if I didn't abuse the suspend point feature that NSO has. The respawn points after getting a game over can be so brutal. And it also sucks that you respawn without any PP meaning that you can't even fast travel after respawning. Though to the game's credit, this is the only glaring flaw that I notice, which is really good for an SNES game. I'd honestly go as far to say that this is hands down the best SNES game in the year 2023, just in terms of how well it holds up.

[@Zombot_1000]

this is truly one of the games of all time.

[@randln1_0]

probably my favorite battle theme in the entire game

[@Lemchi217]

This song is my second favorite battle theme, nothing will beat Franky in my opinion

Bafflingly, this plays during the 6th and 7th Sanctuary Guardians, Thunder and Storm and Electro Specter.

[@sermicha5324]

I’m thinking the parts at 1:04 and 1:12 are what inspired the Mother 3 tracks that are variations of other battle themes but with the occasional parts to throw off your rhythm

[@splurgyreal]

No, through out the entire game, they do shit like that quite frequently. It’s only that mother 3 actually started using this as a feature.

[@534wiseoldwolf]

There is something special about this track. It has something about it that makes it more than the sum of its parts. I cannot describe it, but every time I listen to it, I am mesmerized by the way it sounds and the way it progresses.

[@Kyumifun]

It's so alien-esque while still keeping some of that sea vibe, "something energed from the water". The situation is intense. Though you're well aware how absurd the situation is. You just encountered a kraken for hell's sake! But you know you can fight it, you're strong. You HAVE to fight it, even the captain did, although you didn't notice... It gets quite ethereal in 0:25 it's so beautiful i keep coming back to this song just for that part. It reminds me of the goal of the journey. Of home. Of all the places Ness and the team have been to so far. They fight to save those places.

[@mboe_youtube]

I think the most interesting bit is the modulation on that main synth is done by brute force: The low pass filter effect is done by having several permutations of the same synth sample (every so slightly bassier), then playing them in sequence.
