Z.O.E.: The 2nd Runner Music- Intro Song/Beyond the Bounds

[@jesustia86]

One of the most underrated games ever. With an unforgettable OST

[@Pridefallen975]

Agreed

[@Elp58Chidori]

Ada: ''Good morning. Ready..for combat?'' Dingo: ''UGH.. MOOOOOOOOOVE!''

[@wannabkain4400]

Can’t tell you how much that still gives me goosebumps with how perfect it was 😅

[@blaze363]

Ttranslation of the "gibberish" part: I hold your heart in the palm of my hand My soul is the branch of a tree, My body is wings, Of the two eyes, destroy the right one with fire The departure of the eastern ship was delayed I can catch up to it with my wings I open and follow the entrance to the Otherworld The entrance you want is opening Chorus

[@ramesc8112]

"Ttranslation of the "gibberish" part:" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

[@gdvelasquez2570]

A reference to Horus eye.....and the Judge of the life in the egytian lore.

[@SilverAMVS]

Been searching for this song for about...5 and a half years now,I believe. About damn time I found it,fantastic song.

[@Arlesmon]

basedking consider that he might not knew about zone of the enders, yet heard this song. I don't know if this is true, but googling won't help you if you don't have clear indications.

[@SilverAMVS]

assholemon Yup,I heard this song a long time ago on some fan-made trailer,could barely even remember the lyrics.Was one hell of a bitch to find;)

[@Arlesmon]

SilverAMVS I know that feel. In my situation it was with a song called fairy fore, back in the days when i watched newgrounds. Years later I finally knew the source of it.

[@sebastiengonzalez6134]

the beginning... i don't know why but it alwas brings me to tears! sooo beautiful!

[@OG509]

It's touching your soul 💕

[@Kanehiei]

"Stars are the witnesses of our existence," has to he the dopest lyric I have ever heard!

[@TheFreakinRican123]

To me Zone of Enders 2 was the ultimate mecha game of all time. These type of games were huge like ten years ago, and are due for a comeback. Hideo Kojima..... PLEASE BRING THE MECHA GENRE BACK TO LIFE!!!!!!

[@FrankOfSerendipity]

Yo are you playing Armored Core 7?

[@TheFreakinRican123]

@@FrankOfSerendipity For you, 100% chief.

[@alastor8091]

​@@TheFreakinRican123what do you think? I'm more of a hard mecha kind of guy. While I love ZOE, the Orbital frames really don't feel machines. The movements are too fluid and natural. AC's arethe perfect mechs to me because they're just inhuman enough.

[@TheFreakinRican123]

@@alastor8091 A totally fair assessment. I love AC since 4. They do well to make their mechas seem plausible. While I feel their series had better representations of high speed, robot action, AC6 is a dream for fans who have waited. I think all I’d ask for is more parts if the combat’s not going to be off the rails like FA. Seems bare bones as if they’re saving their best for DLC. Great game if all else.

[@christiandelrosario22]

Still awesome in 2023

[@Geohound1989]

THE VIOLIN SOLO AT 3:45 IS AWESOME!!!

[@ZeroGDucks]

Never played before, plan to one day. The solo gave me similar vibes to Evangelion's Kokoro yo Genshi ni Modore 😄

[@vgman94]

I got the collection for the demo, but I have to say, these 2 games are amazing. This deserves to be more popular and has a ton of gameplay potential. And this song is so beautiful. Made me cry. :')

[@omaralejandromartinezorteg2139]

It has potential, ironically the main issue is solved, so there isn't much left to tell or do

[@JoJoLux2013]

A really excellent game, good story, superb design, incredible speed and fast gameplay, and THAT music !! So good. I wish we could have a third part to greatly close this excellent mecha story !

[@NoNumbersPl0x]

I really enjoy songs like these that sounds like it's amounting to some epic climax. Kinda feels like an adrenaline rush. Nice song.

[@Jessicarctica]

This song is AMAZING.. LOVE the meaning behind the lyrics. Words can't describe how Gorgeous this song is.

[@VanillaDesu1]

one of kojima's lost treasures

[@trazyntheinfinite9895]

Lost how? Its on steam.

[@VanillaDesu1]

@@trazyntheinfinite9895 kojima + konami is no longer working together in YEARS so he cant work anymore in a ZOE 3

[@LuiBei1994]

Damn it's amazing. A shame none of the other songs in the ost ever get close to this

[@vaimeron]

Yeah, that's what I had typed in the search bar. I'm amazed at least one person actually posted the lyrics. Thanks a lot for doing that.

[@eefreth8717]

I remember the day that I went to buy this masterpiece as yesterday. I feel goosebumps every time I listen this song. I don't know why but it touches really my heart

[@pausastronzo]

it really is beautiful

[@RFire20]

thx for posting this! i love the ZOE music!

[@Nerddeposit]

i have this game sitting next to me, about to go play it when i dust off my ps2 :3

[@oldking7480]

Helicopter song.

[@schwkrls]

Those lyrics have no right to be so beautiful

[@elnacho657]

THEY PLAYED THE DAMN FIDDLE

[@BeowulfCav]

Definitely, when I got my hands on the game after a few years one of the things that popped into my head was this song.

[@FrameRunnerX]

To this day ZOE is still one of my favorite franchise ever.

[@bloodseer03]

open Z.O.E. 3 back up please kojima DX

[@RunkkuRusina]

OR , an actual true HD remake on pc.

[@eddydelo]

man i love how this so is so epic it complimented the OP movie

[@manwhalebird]

This is a great song. I never completed the game an have been looking for it. Then again, there are a shit load of games I still need to finish. Final Fantasy XII, Dirge of Cerberus,.......

[@Lockon9573]

everything about this song is grand. I love it

[@espartacos1]

this was my first game on the ps2 back in the day

[@xX01Sephiroth01Xx]

Zone of the enders is probably one of my favorite PS2 games that ever came to NA.

[@Ali695]

@MrPrototypz hahaha, "Kojima-san doesn't have to make Metal Gear anymore" is a meme that began soon after an interview with Hideo Kojima concerning the pressure he felt to keep making more metal gear games because of demanding fans. He states that he has the vision to create new and more innovative games but metal gear had been holding him back. Fans who were sympathetic then began to spread the word that Kojima-san doesn't have to make Metal Gear anymore.

[@mrdragonnerd]

this game would be the reason id get a ps3 and the only reason, that is unless it comes onto xbox id fucking buy the best edition there was! i absolutly love this game and the story its just too much epic awesome win! =D

[@anubislancer]

Awesome Game and sountrack A++++++++, i still have both games, 2nd Runner is my Fav!!! ...Waiting on the sequel!!!

[@Karuik2]

no matter what anybody says, this game goes unrivaled to this day. it has no equal

[@eiIlenn]

Such a beautiful song, me and my brother were amazed by this beautiful song that we let the opening play again and again for I don't know how many times:D Platinumed this game and it's sad that this is a very underrated game and probably didn't sell well:( Does anyone who the singer is?

[@TiddleDink]

You know what's an overrated underrated game? ZOE 2

[@eiIlenn]

Gt rekt m8 4 evr Even if it's a bit overrated (personally I don't think it's overrated) it still deserved to sell more. I want ZOE 3!!

[@Aykun_]

Abi basinda sanki kuran melodisi var fark ettin mi , acaip cins ya.

this was an awesome game and the music was good too

[@WaveForceful]

I would love a ZOE 3

[@sentinental]

Its on hold till Phantom Pain is finished. Imagine it, next gen systems...

[@WaveForceful]

Yeah, I seriously can't wait to see how well the game plays using the Next gen systems. Naked Jehuty looks insane from all the images I've see

[@W_P_92]

i wonder what it is that makes him tick, ZOE and MG are best game series of all time and Policenauts was fucking brilliant as well Can't wait for his next game

[@papasantos]

for me this has to be the best mecha game of all great story line designs were amazing even graphics and plus you got a soundtrack like this games goes unbeaten

[@th2]

I LOVE THIS SONG!

i placed an order for this game upon hearing this song. good thing i ordered it at a decent price.

[@KyeEnzoden]

Gods, try ordering it now.

[@Raado12]

i wanna play this game again i can't wait anymore when konami wanna release the HD collection >< thx for the muisc :)

[@UGPProductions]

its japanese i think straight from wiki The game's theme song, "Beyond the Bounds," was composed by Maki Kirioka and performed by Maki Kimura. (Lyrics) A remix of the song, titled "Beyond the Bounds (Mitsuto Suzuki 020203 Mix feat.Sana)" is included on the official soundtrack, is played during a music video extra in the PAL and NTSC-J "Special Edition" versions of the game, and appears on Pop'n Music 8.

[@Lilithayama]

Kojima Sensei you're a god!!!

[@KirKanos08]

This song makes me happy! :3

[@Brawler_1337]

It's actually based off of Finnish. I think it's a made-up language that all computers in Orbital Frames speak (with the exception of ADA in Jehuty). BTW this is an awesome song! I want the game!

[@CloudStrifeZX]

"i ´ve been dead once already....i bring it to and end myself" "look the perfect fusion of metatron...the destruction to end all" "STOOOOOP"

[@kiranoTheHermit]

This is fucking awesome!!! and the sequel is going to be EPIC!

[@AbdulRahmanKSA]

when I finished the game, then the cridets came along with this song .. I almost cried :)

[@Rareamos]

Esta serie de videojuegos merece mas secuelas buenisimas, las anteriores son muy buenas y tienen una cancion que hacen reflexionar con la historia que tiene. Es una serie magnifica, deberian pasar la voz para que al menos se conozca, muy bella, interesante y quizas uno de los mas inspiradores de todos los que jugue como con Metal Gear Solid 2.

[@xaviabad1963]

lo mismo digo, uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado, y que ha hecho reflexionar a mas de uno. sin duda esta saga se merece una tercera parte, en mi opinion

[@DeltaKaiNi]

[@athlonz1]

The non-English parts of the lyrics were written using Finnish as reference. It was composed by Maki Kirioka and performed by Maki Kimura. (Wiki)

Great song... My love. Thank you.

[@CJstylez]

After Hideo Kojima made MGS4, I think he was thinking of making the 3rd, PS3 exclusive, Zone of the Enders 3. If you've played MGS4, you'll know what to expect in Zone of the Enders 3. Like all you fans, I'm really excited too. Everybody root Hideo Kojima on for making such great games.

[@nonov2357]

Best high speed action game ever, insanely addictif, and great soundtrack, what else do you want?

[@Jerrel28]

Amen dude,my thoughts exactly.

[@Takeshi_Yamato_103]

@ItsDamnJordan I think the game's been out long enough that it's no longer IN stores. The only place you'd probably be able to find it these days is online.

[@Kingenious]

Glad they announced The third will come out :D

[@th2]

Damn, i love this game, could not stop playing

[@therealcaptainhavok]

cool of you to put up the "possible" lyrics. Thanks. ☺

[@AnubisJehuty]

I want to see this on real life playing!

[@wsk191]

I Loved this game, but since my Ps2 is not working any more and I can´t play it on PC I miss it very much. For me is one of the best arcade-games ever made.

[@blaze363]

The king shares ruin among conspicuously happy people The faithful dog manipulates the fire The desert melts and becomes an ocean Those who are able to cross that ocean return from the journey of sleep I empty my vessel for you The pillar where the language of the afterlife is carved, While supporting Heaven, Cuts and divides the enemy of the sun Chorus

[@Cillranchello]

Yeah, in an interview about the game, the composer stated that the lyrics were a twist on Finnish.

[@Zahtael]

Kick-ass game! But why hasn't anyone uploaded the music that is played when you're trying to save the civillian buildings in Vascillia Colony, just before you wreck that train? I can't find it anywhere...

[@djtremix1]

man i just love this game and this song

I forgot that there's actually a direct link to the lyrics from wikipedia. Its from the ZOE the 2nd runner article page.

[@jonpowell4246]

Dingo: Don't give up! Ada, radiate jehuty's energy and strike it against the core of Auman. Ada: it's too late, impossible, 170 remaining Dingo: if it doesn't work do whatever you please Ada: 160 remaining Dingo: but...DON'T JUST WAIT TO DIE!!! Still gets me every time.

[@thomasnielsen8904]

Oh yes feel the power of jehuty

can barely find this game now in UK no suprises though it is good. there suppose to be bringing 3rd 1 out soon

Z.O.E 3 is becoming less of a possibility but more of a probability. Keep those fingers crossed guys, Jehuty isn't finished just yet...

[@tippership]

it's nice that people who speak finis hcan pick out the sng and deduce it's based off it.. I heard ZOE 3 cold be made..if so, screw metal gear stuff, i want ZOE!!!!!

[@Zectro15Tero]

there are some game stores that still sll them new. I use to go to one called Select and another called M&M Games. the problem is, they over charge, but not more then the fools on ebay.

[@Skriak]

Never, ever, ever, EVER get rid of ZOE2. It's simply as close to the perfect mech game around, and totally worth the £30 it still demands on the interwebs.

Thanks god to give me a HD Collection of this game.
