I couldn't enjoy that song until I got it out of my head, took like a month and a half

[@conorneligan7694]

Yeah the meme completely ruined it for me lmao. Similarly, I can't watch the XC1 cutscenes without thinking of Theaggyu's YTPs. The early Colony 9 scenes and the bit at Meyneth Shrine especially have been destroyed lmao.

[@chocobo8841]

I realized I forgot Incoming and Counterattack. Sorry about it! At least Monolith Soft isn't stingy about their soundtracks so they're easily available on KZbin.

[@Felixr2]

Counterattack isn't a battle theme though, it's only played in cutscenes.

[@ZealGames]

shame. That's the big one. Ut you're right about that. Easy find

[@Sunray625]

@@Felixr2 it used in some battles I am pretty sure but in the type of battles where you just can't lose so it might as well be a cutscene lol

[@asavage3907]

@@Sunray625 I checked the two battles I know where you can't lose no matter what. SPOILERS At the end of chapter 3 where you unlock Mythra and the end of Chapter 7 when you unlock Pneuma are the two battles where I'm pretty sure you can never die. I both of these, Counterattack plays in the cutscene, but the moment gameplay starts it switches to You Will Recall Our Names

Most of the battles are upbeat and rough, but then 'The power of Jin' hits with a more melancholy, smooth note, which just portrays him perfectly.

[@haveagoodday7021]

It's fittingly somber for how tragic his character is. Defeating him doesn't feel triumpant, but it feels like you're ending his misery.

I like how Zeke, Jin, and Amalthus got to be the portraits for their personal themes. It's also see that Akhos gets to stand in for the rest of Torna, and Poppi QT gets Rosa's theme, which is clever.
