The first time I heard this in the beginning with Fayt waiting for Sophia in that hallway.....it was like magic. I didn't want the song to ever end next thing I know, I walk through a door and it stops playing >.>

[@stargazersdance]

Hope you're still around on this account to read this. But this is exactly how I felt. I'm currently going through the game for the first time, and hearing this song in the beginning of the game after having heard it on KZbin ages ago did shake me up a bit. I was expecting it to be at a very sad scene, but no it was just perfectly placed in the beginning. A song of hope, that doubles as a song of sorrow.

I remember that, too! Possibly the most I've ever been (pleasantly) caught off guard by the music. The first time I played, I actually reloaded or restarted the game (honestly can't remember which) just so I could sit there and listen to the entire thing.

[@servantbyday]

I’m glad we can all gather here and share our similar feelings about this lovely heartfelt song. If I recall, it plays again during the credits for a near full circle.

English translation: On an airplane that is flying gently through the blue sky, the clouds look like white snow from out the window. I'm on my way, flying to where it is you're living now, and my heart keeps on shaking with anxiety. All the seasons and time itself, they and everything are changing. Hey, look, you can see from here, Orion's stars shining on beyond the horizon. Just like a little bird that has forgotten, lost how to fly, I seem to be missing, lost something vital to me. And down into the place of birth that's built up of nothing but pain, the near-pain happiness, it's something like that - that I had found. I hadn't known despair; what it was like until I lost my joy- Came to know such sorrow with your absence. The distance between us is something we don't want to face, so we go on denying our frustration. All the seasons and time itself, I'll chase them and see what happens. Hey, look, you can see from here, the sun rising up, bringing the sky a light coloring. Just like a little bird that has forgotten, lost how to fly, maybe someday, I'll be able to find that something. By the time I came to notice, I was already living there; The near-pain happiness, I'm sure that must be how it is. Just like a little bird that has forgotten, lost how to fly, I seem to be missing; lost something vital to me. And down into the place of birth that's built up of nothing but pain, the near-pain happiness, I had searched for so long... now I have found...

SO3-4 ending is the most beautiful ending about the hope of humanity! Too many ideals behind it! The game intro is also touching...it's about the hope, advance, thrive for success of humanity! Too bad, we forgot how to "fly" like the "bird", we drown in the war of envy and hatred!

[@Typical_Tyeus]

Got this game when I was 10. I'm 19 now. Star Ocean really defined the early stages of my childhood in a way similar to Pokemon or the Tales series. Never ever gonna forget this song in particular.

[@robnyc4life]

Ya those two were the shit too but this game definitely changed my outlook of RPGs and how much they impacted me in some ways more than other video game genres even tho I love others too

[@kptentertainment9723]

I grew up with so many JRPGS that gave me great memories, some of my fondest memories was playing Star Ocean 3 with my uncle when i was in Elementary school, i never realized how long the game was until i played it for myself years later. If FFX-X2 can get an HD Remaster then Star ocean 3 should get one too! Some of my favorite underrated RPGS were Grandia 2, Magnacarta: Tears of blood, Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits and Radiata Stories!

[@ChrisMcNellie]

+TekkenKid Radiata Stories was funny, I never got through the whole thing though.

[@ChrisMcNellie]

Final Fantasy X-2 was not a good game. It was basically alot of fanservice on a home console system.

[@D-Nova]

+TekkenKid This is one of my favorite JRPGs on the PS2. I even got all the Battle Trophies because I just loved this game. The story got a bit weird towards the end but SO3 was still an epic journey.

Orion shines on the horizon Chorus 1 (01:20 - 01:58) Like a little bird that has forgotten how to fly I seem to be missing something Having left that place born out of wounds I discover painful happiness Verse 2 (01:58 - 02:28) Elusive happiness, I didn't know it was ephemeral As we gently averted our eyes To misunderstandings and resentment Bridge/Pre-chorus 2 (02:28 - 02:57) Seasons and time, let us follow after them Hey, look, that pale sky where the sun is rising Chorus 2 (02:57 - 03:28) Like a little bird that has forgotten how to fly Someday I might be able to find that something For I've become aware of that place of wounds Of painful happiness, I'm sure Instrumental + Vocalization (03:28 - 03:42) Final Bridge (03:42 - 04:11) Seasons and time, let us follow after them Hey, look, that pale sky where the sun is rising Final Chorus (04:11 - 05:08) Like a little bird that has forgotten how to fly I seem to be missing something Having left that place born out of wounds Now I realize that painful happiness Replay ♡ (00:01)

When this started playing on that space station I burst out crying. One of the best songs in a jrpg. Who's the composer? The lush string arrangement at the start reminds me of some songs in Final Fantasy XI Seekers of Adoulin and Rhapsodies of Vanadiel, but then the song itself reminds me of something like Kiss me Goodbye from Final Fantasy 12 I woudkny be surprised if there was some connection somewhere. If not...who is this composer ❤️
