Terranigma Music: Underworld

[@CampingMIG]

Much of the soundtrack in this game sounds both sad and hopeful at the same time. Excellent song.

[@242sighting]

It's funny how much RPG music goes for this mood, but this whole series of games definitely specialized in the awareness that our successes can hurt each other. So much melancholy.

[@therealpunchdrunkmonk]

Seriously! To me it sounds like, even though things are bad now, through hard work and perseverance, we can reach the light at the end of the tunnel. There is hope.

[@kman216]

I agree wholeheartedly! Though this melody feels mostly melancholy to me... with hints of hope... Why do i like songs that make me feel sad?

[@rice6809]

I am currently 13 years old and will probably show this game to my friends, those who say the game will be lost in time, it may be but there is always going to be at least one person in each generation that will play it, I'm sure of it.

With the difference, that Enix didnt developed terranigma, its developed by Quintet, so its not "really" a game from the house "enix like chrono trigger IS developed by square.

+MekaShadowlight Alright, thanks!

[@DodgeThisBam]

It never got released in the states for some reason. One of the few instances where it was better to be Australian in the SNES days (We missed out on Super Mario RPG, Secret of mana and CHRONO TRIGGER FFS.)

[@FarnhamTheDrunk1]

@MekaShadowlight actually it is part of a series (Soul Blazer, Illusion Of Gaia, Terranigma - in that order) havent played soul blazer yet, illusion of gaia is awesome (was called illusion of time in europe i think), but terranigma is truly stunning... i highly recommend playing gaia and terranigma....

[@GSVRemix]

If anyone in here hasn't played this yet, do it. Don't even bother finding an actual physical copy, just get a ROM and play it, this game is unbelievably good. It should be noted, however, that it's part of a spiritual trilogy know as the Quintet's Creation Trilogy, starting with Soul Blazer, then Illusion of Gaia (Illusion of Time in PAL, which I think is a better title since the game's plot revolves a lot around the concept of the passage of time) and finally, Terranigma. All three are amazing, but different. Soul Blazer is a lot simpler and straightforward, and because of that I think it's the most fun to play. Illusion of Gaia improved a lot on the character development and story, but made the game more complex and less straightforward. Terranigma basically improved on every single aspect, but also had a nice balance between gameplay and story, where Illusion of Gaia had more story and Soul Blazer had more gameplay overall.

[@ilovegaren5943]

@@GSVRemix can i play it on pc? Is it free? Can u give me a link or tell me what is the site that i can download it from?

[@RestlessWandererOriginal]

Terranigma ist still one of the best RPGs I've ever played, good old times man

[@neoasura]

One of the best Overworld/Underworld themes from the 16-Bit era, I loved this piece..it has a very epic/melancholic feel to it. It's too bad the US never saw this Gem released. I'm glad I found it by emulation in the early 2000s.

[@JJLarge]

Just started my playthrough today, I'm at the 2nd tower and this game is great! Really I can't understand why more people don't talk about it, the story is really intriguing so far, the main character has a great design and personailty, the inventory box is cool, the music is great, the combat is really fun, and the world is so cool

[@WinglessRain]

Parts of the game are extremely difficult, the sidequests are very involved, and the story arguably is too mature for both the medium and the rating. Also unfortunately never had a US release, making it effectively forgotten until the early 2000s with the rise of emulation. Like Soulblazer and Illusion of Gaia, the game's themes are rather heavy, like seeing the people you help get increasingly less happy with their world the more you advance technology. The last quarter of the game has been described by many as emotional, especially the ending.

[@evilstermegaman]

Oh, just you wait... The game has only begun. It will tear your heart apart in the best way possible. Oh, and it'll make you probably replay it, to find out which things you missed through your decisions ;)

[@AlastorNightheart]

Someday this game will be recognized enough for a remaster

[@Thunderhawk51]

No... I have had enough of the remakes and remasters. They do nothing but rape the original product and spit on it. May they rest in peace and never lose their innocence to the corporations of today.

[@Valientlink]

@@Thunderhawk51 Yeah, Terranigma is perfect the way it is. What we need is maybe a translation touchup and North American release on VC or the SNES mini or something. They did it with Secret of Mana 2, they can do it here. As much as I love this translation, it can be really awkward and not make sense at times.

[@Marcusml333]

I have no experience with this game whatsoever, but this music is wonderful and I am glad to have experienced it.

[@Kiet888]

Every second of this track is a masterpiece. My favourite bit is 0:20 to 0:32 because that is when a continent is restored after completing each tower and then you are back to the underworld map, ready to move onto the next one.

[@crazykenny]

I really love the soundtrack of terranigma. Thanks for share this music on KZbin dinges666.

Terranigma really set you in the role of the protagonist. Feelings come out, monsters having to be defeated and the decision which you love more... i could spoiler the people who have'nt played the game yet but anyone who only knew the music and not the game... thats ashamed. Terranigma is a TRUE RollePlay-Game.

I honestly think this is one of the best overworld song ever created. This, and the overworld form For the frog the bell tolls

[@nsixties4380]

this song made me buy this game and this song made me by an SNES and this game opened up a door that inspired me to be ambitious and stretch out of my comfort zone and forget the "classics" and open up my boundaries to great games that failed to make a splash in the world. After all music is a language that can be understood by all languages and may the KZbin algorithm bless this wonderful song to anyone who likes music, and may that person be inspired to make a game that surpasses Terranigma in every way possible, and I will look forward when that game gets released.

[@CFEntertainment1]

One of the best game ever made. Was on a different level back in the 90's. Might play it soon again.

[@tommi3761]

Six years later... How it was re-listening this AT THE END of the game?

[@blara2401]

The first time I heard this song, it spoke to me as beautifully as do one's favorite melodies. These simple samples, this old-school buildup leading to such a melodic wonder. It didn't sound like another overworld theme - it was a theme with personality, not simply depicting the vastness of lands, but also the mixture of nostalgia, distress, and awe of Ark himself. By vibrating, the sound carried these feelings and poured them right into me and even today, I have yet to think of a video game melody that hit me this hard on the first go.

[@Chameleonxx3]

Great description. =D

[@JetWolfEX]

Me too, you described my exact experience better than I ever could. I first heard this theme on youtube when looking into Terranigma, I'd played gaia and found out it had a sequel. After I heard this I had to play this no matter what, but was very letdown to find out there was no western release. There was no translation at the time, so I imported a japanese copy and blindly played through it. I had to have the soundtrack CD too, took years to even find it, it's very in demand due to the quality of this music and very few were printed. I want to own everything related to this game, artbooks, guides, poster ect. The underworld theme is still my favorite piece of music. Look up "Roman Hauser Terranigma" on KZbin, you'll be glad you did

While the overworld sounds so adventurous and free, the underworld sounds very mysterious and heroic but the cool thing of this piece of music is that there is some kind of hollow to it.

Ive looked for remixes for the underworld theme of terranigma... none even closely reaches the epicness of the original

[@Levitz9]

@NeroTheDarklord The SNES had great games because it was so closely competing with the Genesis, resulting in two systems with some of the best games ever made. I'd be daft to deny any of those SNES classics you listed, but Phantasy Star, Gunstar Heroes, Dynamite Headdy, Toejam and Earl, and Ecco the Dolphin were just as awesome.

This game just had everything you could wish for in an (Action-)RPG. A protagonist you can identify yourself with, interesting places to discover, many different other characters you interact with and build a relationship with, true masterpieces of music that wake up the most different emotions in you... This game was pure magic. The creators of this game were gods back when developing this masterpiece. And nowadays games... they will never play in the same league as the older games. Shameful.
