Sora no Kiseki the 3rd OST - Castle of Illusions (Phantasmagoria)

[@rachaeluponen1862]

I love it when the dungeon music is so powerful that it overrides the regular battle music. It's almost always worth it.

[@xiahouduin]

One of my favorite tropes

"See you, space priestboy"

That moment when you realize 2 out of 3 of the final bosses have to be beaten without Richard.

[@d3ly746]

hope we see him again in kuro

[@optimaltt6070]

It's easier than you think. Agate and Joshua are godly in their own right too. Schera is a great backup to any of those(her ability to accelerate turn order is busted), and Tita/Kloe make any team unkillable gods. Richard's fine, but he's a tad overrated, especially on higher difficulties.

[@Maderr4]

@@optimaltt6070 and then there is Josette..

[@coralieboucher7736]

@@optimaltt6070 Well, I respect your opinion of course, but I find difficult to see How Richard could be overrated, when his delays were just absurdly low. For God's sake, even on Nightmare, Richard have more hits than most bosses (I don't say "For god's sake" agressively agaisnt you, I prefer to be clear, I mean't "That's just ridiculous that he can be that fast....") Of course, Like you said, Joshua and Agate have really good arguments too, but not on Richard's Level (For me at least) Joshua with Phantom Raid and a transfer from SC can Spam S Craft with a group of large enough, without the need to wait, which is Busted but in 3rd, Most of the hardest fights are with too few ennemies to try this strategy. Agate is practically assured to use a S-craft every of his turns and he have great life bar and Strengh. But when you're as fast as Richard (and strong too since he's really strong statistically speaking), It's supreme both offensively and defensively, because every richard's Turn, Kevin can regain CP with the Belts (Richard can have a Headband and a belt), making really spammable. I hope you will not take badly my comment and that it's clear enough. Sorry for the errors, I'm not natively English :/

@@Maderr4 Poor Josette has nothing going for her, and Anelace would've been in the same boat if it wasn't for Jinu being an op weapon only she can use.

[@yfxxiii]

There's just this special thing when, after the entire game has had you going back and forth between area music and battle music, the final dungeon's music persists through the battles. It really makes you feel like there's no stopping now, and between that and the chest messages you get something really special.

[@Matt-kd7xm]

I started crying when i see "Until next time, see ya." What a great game.

[@HardToFindGoodNames]

Those chest messages...

[@Jardrin]

HardToFindGoodNames They really give that nice extra push towards the finish!... for the most part

[@IidosGamingDen]

I was surprised when all the chest messages were actually cheering me on, instead of berating me for taking their contents. xD Even they wanted me to win!

[@dansegful]

HardToFindGoodNames the one being grateful for being part of the Trails project really made me cry of emotion

[@AdrianGrave]

I missed this detail, damn it... such a cute detail, haha.

[@moreOddThanNess]

Xseed really cared to add those chest messages to the entire Sky trillogy. Not looking forward to Nisa doing the least effort joby with the series from now on.

[@ClawsNGloves]

This track really gives the epic finale vibe to the Sora no Kiseki series for me.

[@xiahouduin]

I guessed right and chose Joshua and Estelle with Ries and Kevin. It just felt right.

[@Kaebuki]

@Tráng Đinh Công And the squire! Don't forget her.

[@FirstLast-mn4re]

Yeah, both of the main duos together just felt right.

[@brunohenriqueazevedoborges5490]

Is there a special event that happens if so that? I'm on that exact dungeon and chose my parties differently.

[@FirstLast-mn4re]

@@brunohenriqueazevedoborges5490 it doesn't matter as far as I know, the ending cutscenes should all be the same. I just think it is thematically the most fitting team for the final boss.

[@judesagpang6357]

My choice is Kevin, Ries, Richard, and Renne. I still don't know why. hahaha

[@orochifluffy]

Peak trails music. Peak jrpg music. This game is a masterpiece.

[@Corrderio]

Easily my favorite final dungeon track in any game I've played.

[@d3ly746]

Hollow light of the sealed land & SC final dungeon theme would like to have a word with you

[@TheShayaChannel]

This and Phantasmal Blaze are the purest embodiments of reward for your commitment. The latter especially if you really know your Trails in the Sky lore.

"Time to settle this" - the track.

[@ShubhamGupta-ir2gn]

This area had the best chest quotes in the trilogy.

[@theswagatron]

when the final dungeon music knows its good enough to be its own battle theme. so fucking sick

[@jaisysymuri7462]

Best dungeon OST

[@starbit5065]

3rd's final dungeon may not have been as long as the final dungeons of the first two games, but it was definitely the most exciting one for me. The music, the fact that every party member is used, and even the chest quotes all being words of encouragement. It all comes together as one big last hurrah before finally finishing the masterpiece that is the Liberl trilogy.

[@musse4925]

Best final dungeon of the trilogy

[@FirstLast-mn4re]

Those chests made me start tearing up. This trilogy was great.

[@SomeoneSmol]

@@FirstLast-mn4re same. The whole time for three games they laugh about you, then in the depths they go silent only to come back and motivate you for the finale of the Finales

this final dunegon is one of the most soul-lifting experiences ive ever had in a game. pure art.

[@GfigtherGO]

[@pianissimo7121]

[@SrChoppers]

The only other JRPG series that can compete with Trails in the dungeon music department is Phantasy Star. Fantastic track that, combined those chest messages, made me feel nostalgic and "uncharacteristically emotional" ( like Olivier said in the ending ) about the Trails trilogy even before actually clearing the game. Here's hoping that Zero & Ao no Kiseki, as well as the Cold Steel series, will be just as good.

[@Playcool18]

Perfect song IMO for the last dungeon of the series.

[@patricioandres1032]

love this song and the last dungeon when a fight w all ur characters i remember FF6 final dungeon.

[@Eccual]

I really want to see Kevin in the new games

[@salviraa7382]

Same, man, same. He's one of the strongest character imo, and I adore his personality dearly. It's also interesting to see all the chaos from church folks' perspective. I also miss Ries.

[@ignacywinski192]

One of the best final duengons in all of ganing. On par with Suicide Misson in Mass Effect II and Fortress of Regrets from Torment.

[@Trails3rdFanboy]

Those two dont even come close kiddo lmao

[@roswellblackrose]

This place was a bit of a *nightmare* for me. I didn't bother training all the characters up. I only made quartz and equipment for 5-6 characters at max. And then I find out I need to use them all in the final dungeon. It was funny bringing all my level 105 characters when Kevin, Renne, Alan, and Olivier were my only characters at level 135 at that point. And with no good quartz or equipment either xD

[@mackennajones24]

That sucks, I also had a bunch of underleveled characters, but I solved it by going into the abyss over and over again with different party members until everyone was at least level 130 or higher. Kevin and Ries were level 137 and everyone else was between 130 and 136 before I finally went into the Phantasmagoria. I also farmed mira by finishing the all the doors and repeating the quiz door and a bunch of sepith from grinding so I could upgrade weapons, armor and orbment. I'm on the second path now, can't wait to finish this game and see the ending~

[@AAhmou]

Since I had most of the characters leveled up to at the very least level 22 during chapter 6... It took me 3 separate trips to the abyss to level up them rightly.

[@ninototo1]

same but it's no big deal. just train a bit in the final dungeon and you're good to go. I actually really liked those 9999 exp every time :p

[@roswellblackrose]

poro poro The 9999 exp helped. But the exp wasn't the problem. It was the sepith I had to grind for good quartz!! I had to settle for lower quality quartz in the end, because I was hated grinding, especially so close to the ned.

[@waypointb]

It doesn't end up mattering much. You get a chance to refit quartz before each party does anything, the trash is easy to blow away with an ambush, and it drops TONS of sepith. Each team gets enough to roll mostly gems by the end of their wing, and the next one can immediately equip the hand-me-downs.

[@cyberxspeed]

This dungeon music absolutely SLAPS! Still the best even after playing Daybreak.

[@WilsonTRB]

Best theme ever!!!!

[@pokeboi5438]

Perfection

[@MuffinOrama]

The CHEST MESSAGES in this dungeon made me tear up lol. Really did feel like you were at the last push of a long 3 game journey.

[@midnafan132]

This final dungeons theme reminds me so much of the Origami Castle theme from Paper Mario Origami King. With the game's main theme in it, the theme being used for battles, and the intense feeling it gives. So much of Trails' soundtrack reminds me of other game soundtracks in their style. And I love it.

[@davidcook9875]

so damn good

[@MrRhYH]

This one is so damn good, but people dont know

[@fonfabre29]

you have 16 characters, you thought you're gonna be separated for a while, so you organize them in random way. TURNS OUT THAT WAS YOUR FINAL PARTY ORGANIZE. with each 4 of them facing their final battle. guess what my 'main gate' party is beside kevin & ries ? :(

[@Jardrin]

Dion Chesar I personally had Mueller and Anelace with Kevin.... Was supposed to have Kloe instead of Mueller, but just like you. didn't realize that was the last time you organize the party, lol.

[@fonfabre29]

i had josette & zin lmao

[@Jardrin]

Dion Chesar .. Zin is okay, but Josette?... huh. Did it work out? xD

[@shirosaki97]

I went and prepped up Tita and Schera for my Kevin & Ries team, I always like to give some relevence to each final boss fight I have, like how I made sure I had specific characters facing off against the Enforcers in SC were those who had personal stories tied to them and whatnot. Not being able to do that due to me not having too good of an idea on what each final boss was (except Kevin's, which had no obvious tie in to anyone) I simply chose the party members you played with first in both FC and Third respectively, thank fuck I did too, Orbal Gear Tita saved my arse in that final fight.
