Golden Sun Music: Saturos Battle Theme

Golden Sun music [extended] heard when fighting Saturos and Menardi (nameless at the time) in Vale and when fighting Saturos solo in the Mercury Lighthouse.

[@cjmaverick_]

For the antagonist of the game, he sure had a heroic sounding theme. EDIT: Just so we’re clear, antagonist does not always mean “villain” Antagonist is simply the opposing force to the protagonist (Isaac & co). Never did I utter the word “villain”.

[@kirbogames9664]

foreshadowing

[@yalta5060]

True,,

[@seanbrangan2969]

He was a hero to the people of Prox.

[@averagefanenjoyer8696]

They were still evil and barbaric. Like when they attacked a bunch of scholars and scientists outside the venus lighthouse for basically no reason other than they happened to be near it

[@j255173]

If you played the sequel then you really understood saturos and menardi had a reason for their “villainy” :(

[@olukz2529]

Geez....the fact that this piece of beautiful music was composed on the limited hardware of the Gameboy Advance is impressive... But what really blows my mind is the fact that this single song contains three different time signatures (6/8, 5/4 and 4/4)!!! You wouldn't even notice unless you paid close attention! Motoi Sakuraba is a GENIUS!!!

[@musouka23]

I had no idea about the time signatures I don't read music. but he was onto something when he composed these musics. they are pretty amazing for what they were heard on. probably one of the best things to come from the gba.

[@Loundre3]

The funny thing is that the audio engine, that was used by Golden Sun used exacly what the GBA was natively capable of (8bit sample playback output, 32768Hz), with interpolation (i think it was linear). Golden Sun:Lost Age broke the record, with double the playback frequency (64kHz), which was easily to notice. That Sakuraba... He broke the GBA's limits like an boss. Thats why i like him, he's an boss like most game composers.

[@DarkDruid7]

Loundre3 You seem to know some technicals about game audio. Can you point me to any resources where you learned about playback output, interpolation, etc.?

[@Loundre3]

Sorry for the late reply. I checked again, and Golden Sun actually uses 24kHZ, not 32kHZ. Golden Sun Lost Age uses 32kHZ. Excuse me for spreading misinformation. And DarkDruid7, i found most of the resources for game audio for the GBA here: forum.gbadev.org/viewforum.php?f=10&sid=b36bca613ab5c01bf7f0566ed9982ee6

[@DarkDruid7]

Loundre3 Neat. Thanks for the resource.

[@supertimp01]

Ahhhh, Saturos... the kind of boss where the game put the enemy at a disadvantage and it still was punishing if you weren’t prepared enough. Games these days are too nice.

[@OmegaVideoGameGod]

Believe it or not they still make a lot of games like this, they're just underrated or untranslated.

[@MrUltrashark]

@@OmegaVideoGameGod for example?

[@slashermaster28]

@@MrUltrashark I'd say probably the best modern example is Octopath Traveler. Even the easiest bosses in this game can take 10-20 minutes to defeat. As for unlicensed works, every Super Robot Wars game can be unrelenting at times, especially when a boss has a map-based attack. Really requires you to plan ahead for their turns. As far as other examples go, most are indie titles that pay homage of classic RPGs and go out of their way to recapture that type of challenge. Even Dragon Quest, while not as challenging as it used to be, still requires quite a lot of grinding when compared to most of today's titles.

The fact that all of you people saying that Ivan and mia kept getting knocked out is literally making me question my existence no offense. In every playthrough I have ever done, Mia and especially Ivan never got knocked out whatsoever. Yep. Not even the Deadbeard fight. Although, due to Menardi's hax she always targets Ivan with her 1 shot attack called Death size. But that only happens at rare times, but still don't know why specifically Ivan :P

[@Faceless_time_traveler]

@@boltzypajarillaga8862 you don't need to question your existence .you just play the game differently . It's not a linear RPG , meaning you could explore chunks of the game you were never intended to at the time . When I battled Saturos on my first playthrough I was severely underleveled because I went there before I fought the tree boss . Also , at the time I equipped each character with their own djinn element and only learned later that combining elements and wisely using summons can make or break your battles. If you use them right , any character can be a healer or a tank ... That's something I really *really* love about this game and gave me an entirely new appreciation for it . So ... Yeah . With how flexible the battle system and the world map is , don't be surprised to see people complain or narrate their experience . Instead , I would be happy to hear you share what made your Ivan so powerful . I know for sure you're telling the truth ... Because I'm playing the game now and both Ivan and Mia can be as resilient as Garret and Isaac because I equipped them with the right djinn element combination and cautiously used their summons

[@morganaensland1105]

Hahahahaha poor Mia, but yeah, she does take more damage from Saturos, and Ivan is just squishi overall. Still, I do protect them well, more so Mia since she is the healer of the party. But yeah a couple of buffs to elemental resistance can make that easier :D

The final boss of Golden Sun is not Saturos and Menardi, Fusion Dragon, Deadbeard, Doom Dragon or Dullahan. The final boss of golden sun is getting Sunshine the blacksmith to cooperate.

[@goldsmith8502]

+Yamishi Ikeda Uh.... What? That's pretty easy to do.

[@YamishiMizuandDracus]

He always gives me every item but the one I want. It's like the game is psychic or something. If you've played Monster Hunter you're familiar with the urban myth of the desire sensor. It's things like this that almost tempt me to believe such a thing could exist. Seriously, on a recent playthrough I RNG abused for like 8 orihalcons, since I wanted a Xylion armor for my Garet ronin build. I saved directly in front of Sunshine and repeatedly went through all 8 and reset after they were all gone. 50+ tries later, not a single Xylion armor. I ended up with like 3 Excaliburs before I finally got one. Then I tried the same thing with Mythril clothes. More than 100 mythril silver later, nada. Then much later on I brought him more mythril just for shop completion, and he literally gives me 5 clothes in a row. I wanted to throw my DSi across the room in frustration.

I forgot how much I hated this boss battle until yesterday. He's literally the 2nd or 3rd boss in the game, depending if you do the stuff with the trees first, which I recommend you do because you get Venus and Jupiter Djinn from there. My strategy is to give both Venus Djinn to Mia so she gets Cure well, have Garet and Ivan focus on dealing damage, and have Issac attack when he's not using Ply. Recommend level is 10 or higher. Saturos will not mess around he's still one of the hardest early boss fights I've ever faced. I mean, even playing it on the switch, he almost one shot Ivan on the very first turn, Saturos is brutal. Also, one more piece of advice don't save at the top of the lighthouse save before you get to the top, so if you feel under leveled or need more stuff, you can level up and get healing items... not that they will help, because you'll need to rely on cure well, and if you don't have cure well, then level up until you get it.

[@Fishpks]

Motoi Sakuraba. He is the composer of Golden Sun, Tales Series, Valkyrie Profile, Shining Force, and more. There's a reason why all these games sound similar.

[@EddieR42]

i really wish they would continue the series with gs4 gs3 was such a cliff hanger at the end! awesome theme on another note i remember the first time fighting saturos at the Mercury light house as a kid then flipping shit once i beat him cause he was hard to beat for me at the time..

[@musouka23]

CerebrumDisciple Cheers to that! I just want closure, ya know? But from the looks of it now,we'll never get that. :(

[@Wurmo]

CerebrumDisciple I don't know if they will make a 4th one. The sales weren't bad, but only moderate. They sold more Mario golf games than golden sun 3. Probably because they waited 7 years and so many hardcore fans had moved on.

[@musouka23]

You could be right about that.

[@ArkaicoRI]

+Wurmo Also, GS3 was a totally shitload. Poor argument (and even poorest storyline), not-as-good music, uncharismatic characters (and too many of them), "invented" map, and plenty of logical fails... Only good thing i saw there where some puzzles. I would not buy GS4, yet i loved GS 1&2, and bough the 3 of them. I also know many friends who thinks more or less like I do, and many fans said that to Camelot, so they might just think it's not wroth even trying GS4.

[@fishofgold6553]

Fuck that defeatist, negative, cynical attitude. Not continuing the franchise would be the worst disgrace to it and the fans. There's so much potential storyline and gameplay for GS4 that not manipulatiing it would be worse tgan all of tge flaws of DD.

[@real_Furryratchet]

Motoi Sakuraba created a legend with this theme

[@Kyujib]

Now that you mention it, you're right. Lol. I had completely forgotten about that battle.

[@MidBoss666]

To anyone who likes thus thene, I highly recommend the remix titled "Fire and Flames" on ocremix.

[@Kurokun01]

ALL HAIL THE HOLY MOTOI SAKURABAAAAAAAAA HE GAVE US THIS EPICASS MUSIC

[@GaliMercury]

God, I love this theme. And this from the guy who brought us Earnest Evans, was it? AND the score for the Dark Souls series! Jeez. Motoi, you brilliant fellow.

[@musouka23]

Yep, Motoi composed Earnest Evans and Dark Souls. =)

[@GaliMercury]

:DDDDDDD *proceeds to explode from happiness*

[@Agadyne]

Don't forget Star Ocean and the Tales of Series.

[@Wrendy2k7]

[@crist-roayt]

@@estebanoyonondo3868 yo literal acabo de derrotarlo , esta es la primera vez que juego Golden Sun y no wey...COMBATAZO , para empezar mi equipo es de nivel 12 y tiene equipamiento...bueno , al principio fui con todo a Issac le dije que usara a su Djinn para atacar , Ivan uso psinergia de plasma , Nia psinergia de Hielo y Garet psinergia volcán , le hizo mucho daño con eso y luego el usa bola de fuego y le quita un tercio de vida a todo el equipo , después yo Le dije a Issac y a nia que se curen a Garet que Invoque su Djinn para aumentar el ataque del equipo y a Iván que use psinergia plasma otra vez , de hay en adelante estuve atento a que mi equipo no perdiera más de ma mitad de su vida , en caso de estar a mas de la mitad atacaba con ese personaje y si no , lo curaba , y así fui varios turnos hasta que...uso Erupción y hay mamá a ivan se lo bajo de 1 sólo ataque y eso que estaba a toda la vida , a Nia la dejó bien jodida y a garet le hizo daño pero no taaanto , con ese ataque prácticamente acababa conmigo menos mal que no lo usaba tan seguido porque si no GG , después de eso seguí luchando sin Iván ya que no tenía como revivirlo y jugando con cabeza cada movimiento que hacía acabe ganando pero a sido de lejos el enemigo más fuerte que e tenido en el juego , para colmo Alex dice después que le gane porque sus ataques estaban debilitados😂

[@estebanoyonondo3868]

@@crist-roayt yo también le gané a saturos ( primero aumentar el ataque con gran impacto luego la defensa con resistir, después ATACAR con todo, ataques normales, mágicos, ataques especiales de los artefactos y por último invocaciones: NEREIDA y más y fin).

[@SchnookumsTheNightFury]

this is music to my ears, literally my adorable dragon ears have never heard anything so beautiful

[@urbanberndtsson]

The great tragedy with Golden Sun is that Saturos and Menardi acted like villains with a "evil plan" and all that, but in the second game you find out they were trying to save the world... Damn i felt bad about that :/ I mean, you more or less murdered would-be heroes...

[@musouka23]

So misunderstood, but what epic battle music!

[@urbanberndtsson]

Amen to that.

[@MrSentinel07]

Well, I agree that they were misunderstood, but in my opinion, it's their fault that they went about it in a way that made them seem villainous. I mean, the things they did to Isaac, Garet, Jenna, and the others. So, I just don't think it's something to beat yourself with.

[@asuasuasu]

You just gave me the biggest spoiler ever. Sadist. ;-;

[@TheSecularMinority]

Urban Berndtsson True, but I think they mostly wanted to just save their village, saving the world happened to be a positive side effect. Don't forget they kidnapped Felix, his parents and Isaac's dad, and held them hostage. Kidnapped Jenna and Kraden, left Garret and Isaac to die in sol sanctum. Tried to kill Isaac and Garret again. Knocked over some people that were turned into trees at bilbin barricade (because they are such dicks!). Kidnapped Sheba. Left a trail of death and destruction between Suhalla, Suhalla gate, Venus lighthouse (guards died), through Lalivero. Tried to kill Isaac and the gang (again). Only to fight to the death, all without trying to explain why they were doing what they were doing. Though they did try to reason with the Vale elders about their plight, but we all know how stubborn old people can be.

[@LeeM-ip1jy]

This fight and music, signifies that the characters are no longer children..

Motoi Sakuraba ought to win the youtube music awards.

[@rockstur1252]
