Melodic and Emotional JRPG Music Medley [Part 1] - Great for Studying and Relaxing (High Quality)

[@FollowNRBH]

As an unemployed, unmotivated, college drop-out who has fallen out on the wayside in life, thanks for this. Helps me edit my shallow resume much easier. Very fitting that "Royal Castle" from Legend of Dragoon is playing as I type this. Ah those were much simpler and carefree times!

[@user-nq5wb1cz5e]

FollowNRBH in what are you working right now? Have you think about other way of studying?

[@stanislav.mazurik]

It's quite rare for me to write a comment on any social platform. But listening to this beautiful music of those carefree times and reading your message just pushed me to wish you good luck and have an amazing, happy life!

[@rustyyoung7980]

Good luck, buddy! I really appreciate you posting this comment! :)I I'm pushing 30 in 3 weeks and feeling the same way. Glad we could/can share these experiences together and I wish the best for you, maybe we could link up, lol. shoot me a message or something. I hope things are going well for you at the moment. Much love, -R.

[@robr135]

It doesn't matter what you do in life if you can't find happiness in the small things, no amount of money, luxuries, or career will make you happy. I am in my 30's and my life has been one big clusterf*** but I always find beautiful things to surround myself with whether it is music like this, reading books, or waking up and watching a sunrise every now and then. Life is not so bad and can be enjoyable with very little.

[@kirestus]

you sort out your situation from last year yet?

[@SomeDewd]

Ambient, classical, smooth jazz, but none of them calm me as much as JRPG music does. I blame FF9s sappy love story when I was 10yrs old. The music and text from ff9 put something in me that still lingers it seems.

[@DrKteaches]

FF9 is truly a classic :)

[@olgac.p.7875]

Here I am, working diligently on my project when Terra's Theme at 31:25 comes on and now I just can't focus anymore. So good.

[@aaronpitts6491]

Does liking this theme make me a terraist?

[@cryptidslover1000]

I do listen to this while studying but the music is very emotional. It makes me imagine me and my "friends" exploring the world together. Unfortunately, I'm in a very lonely time with no friends atm. But music like this is a nice break from reality.

[@sharpshooterv]

Terra's Theme = automatic like :D

[@selenopheria]

"Reminiscence" came up second and I just...closed my eyes. My sister and I never finished the game and to this day I don't know where the story went, but the music stuck with me

[@joonpak]

Well dude wtf why don't you pick up the remake and finish the game! I have never played it and plan on it! Cheers to you and your sister.

[@selenopheria]

@@joonpak We had reasons! That was twenty years ago, the game would go missing, the PS2 died, I couldn't fight for shit, she couldn't make it past Miguel... I do plan to get the remake and try it again, maybe I'll get the hang of those stinking spells.

[@joonpak]

@@selenopheria don’t know who Miguel is bro, I’ve never played it! I actually stopped playing games right after FFVII- my best memories were with FF4, 6, and Chrono Trigger! But slowly, as a grownass man

[@joonpak]

@@selenopheria I’ve been going back to play the ones I missed. I finally just played and beat FFX- it was pretty good!

[@selenopheria]

@@joonpak Oooh, I was assuming you played it. Miguel is a fiendishly hard boss and he keeps kicking her ass. There's so many excellent games that came out in the 20 years since you quit. (My favorite is the "Tales of" series.)

[@stardusty]

This is literally one of the best, most nostalgic playlists I have ever heard. Good job. On a sidenote, Chrono Cross has the best soundtrack ever.

[@SP-ww8hv]

I wish i could say that... every song so is pure gold... But Chrono Cross definitely had a wild sound track, so different from all the other greats of its era.

[@ThePixelDreams]

The dual versions of the same songs for home / another world really do add to the world building of the game.

[@bagaco6993]

100% agree :)

[@sephiroth21347]

Theres an undescribable amount of excitement when I hear a Legend of Dragoon song find its way in

[@oscararaque831]

What an amazing childhood.

[@tfmcder]

No matter how many times I hear it, To Zanarkand always hits the hardest. Cheers to everyone having flashbacks to the simpler and usually happier times.

[@djstona5284]

Nah.. That would be the great worrior.. or setos theme !

[@Lexentale]

You know it's great when it starts with something from FF5.

[@apocalypseang9579]

These are the games that I grew up with and what motivated me to try and work at the game industry. I'm glad I grew up together with these masterpiece.

[@Xamracress]

I love how it starts off with Final Fantasy 5's "My Home, Sweet Home."

[@justjay25]

Brings back memories listening to these. They don't make RPGs like they use to.

[@DrKteaches]

Indeed, it's a shame.

[@dannyboi7877]

Trails of cold steel my man. Look it up.

[@christopherchilton1955]

JRPGs are dead. WRPGs took over. We may not have Final Fantasy VII's anymore, but we've got Witcher 3's. Thank God. Still, I will always miss the classics. Still so many feels.

[@toxiconflict]

@@christopherchilton1955 WRPGs suck.

[@HopefulLass]

@@dannyboi7877 That and the whole Kiseki Series are easily some of the best RPG's, nay, games I've ever played. There is something to be said about the olden days and the "golden age of RPG", but you just have to look and gems are still present nowadays, and they'll end up becoming the nostalgia of a whole new generation.

[@ZenStarwalker]

almost all of these made me who I am today!! I owe my life to these composers and game writers!

[@DrKteaches]

Yup, feel ya man.

[@franciscolozano3801]

Oh man... Gaur Plains is soooooo chill... the kind of piece that makes you want to get into the game right away one more time!

[@voltz.supreme]

Fell asleep then woke up with chills as this was playing: 1:32:19 Someday the Dream will End - Final Fantasy X So good! Great playlist.

[@rafaelbernal6822]

This is the best inspiration boost that every fantasy writer should listen!

[@DrKteaches]

+Rafael Bernal Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@charitabletrader1581]

Agreed, in fact, I am writing my book to it right now!

[@westlax34]

As a med student who studies 6 plus hours a day, thank you

[@DrKteaches]

+westlax34 You're welcome.

[@lkc9394]

I second that! thanks so much! I liked that you added some bravely default stuff in as well, its one of my favorite games

[@robertgause-wills2491]

westlax34 I am right their with you. M1 here at SIU. What med school do you attend?

[@jessicasirois9793]

law school here also listening to this great mix while reading million of pages :)

[@KibatsuMusic]

Only 6 hours? :)

[@trueborn25]

Developing an old school RPG in an indie studio and this really helps the coding monotony go easier... Love these games and their music!!

[@houssineaitali9800]

This playlist is the best thing that ever happened to humanity

[@mrfm10]

As I finish my last requirement for my postgraduate degree, thank you for compiling these nostalgic tracks from my favorite RPGs. Approaching my 30th too, so I pretty much grew up playing these awesome games! Thanks again!

[@Riknos]

Can I just say thank you for mixing the songs across the games up - as much as I love a game's soundtrack I don't want to listen to an entire game soundtrack before moving onto the next!

[@Tmathh]

that FFX song fucks me up everytime

[@smeltdipper2000]

Uematsu is truely a genius, his creations are some of the most enjoyable sounds to listen to and you have have done me a great favor by putting together a number of them in one video so i thank you kind sir.

No need to thank me, glad you enjoyed it!

[@minh-huyho7632]

[@jamesgrey13]

You're right! These are great for studying... You can learn alot about what makes a great melody from studying these songs!

[@nimazsheik5152]

This is such a perfect mix, what really captures me is the Chrono Cross soundtrack. I'm going to play this game solely for that beautiful soundtrack by maestro Yasunori Mitsuda 💖

[@maxxiedivine666]

100% agree. I wish they would remaster the game so I could play it newer systems. Totally underrated game.

@@maxxiedivine666 They did it.

This compilation is like, the only thing that can get me to start working on assignments and be productive.

[@Aisenheim]

Damn Chrono Cross soundtrack is still a masterpieces even after so many years since I finish it....

[@tommyzorera]

And yet it has the worst battle theme in JRPG history. What a shame.

[@kruks]

@@tommyzorera - Hah, not sure I quite agree with worst, but Chrono Cross is a game where I can't often stomach playing the whole OST, despite the highs being so damn high. Despite the many highs, some songs on the OST I just do not want to listen to.

This is what I've been looking for. After searching through hundreds maybe even a thousand different VGM/RPG music lists, I've found the perfect one. All my favorites in one location. Well done.

[@christoffergray]

Been coding all morning to this.. thank you for the killer playlist 💪

[@quexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx4030]

Omg Royal Castle from Legend of Dragoon, so good.

[@DrKteaches]

Absolutely :)

[@viranisco]

It's sad that this game is so underrated :(

[@humantacos9800]

@@viranisco It sold well, and reviewed well. It wasn't underrated. It didn't hold the test of time for many reasons. The forgettable plot, outdated graphics, mostly generic soundtrack, and vanilla characters are definitely a factor.

[@nursecompa5476]

Listening to this while making maps in Doom really helps my creativity break out while I used to be stuck trying to figure out what to make. Thank you.

[@krazyq00]

I went back to school after 10 years. This has been my go-to. So many amazing memories, almost makes me want to stop studying and playing all these games. I really wish they would start releasing these types of games again, they were just legendary

[@martinbirr]

Chrono Cross and FF8 rocking the house here. And of course the other songs as well. Its just obvious how much soul and work were put into the 2 examples..

[@ktaztrofk9923]

Cried at Arni Village. Like a sense of coming home to a place thought long lost ...

[@Skillz990]

The best song for last. My favorite. But then again, Chrono Cross in my opinion had the most emotional/feeling soundtrack I've ever listened to from any video game. Hell, not even just amongst video games, in general. Yasunori Mitsuda really did the game justice. Great playlist. This is helping me breeze through studying for finals coming up next week. Liked + Subbed.

[@DrKteaches]

+Skillz990 Yeah I agree, Mitsuda really composed some masterpieces in Chrono Cross. I love his minimalist approach to his pieces. I'm glad you find the playlist enjoyable and good luck on your finals.
