The lyrics are the Final Fantasy creator inventing cosmic horror rap. "Feeling, believing through eternity A heart that will not die nor fade Twisted and distorted it overflows Clouding redder, ever darker Far beyond, it continues to live A body trembling in sense of loss Until only the sound of defeat Remains to be crushed between its teeth Enduring the marks of fleeting time Ever unbearable as they accrue That there was never an answer Has long become so clear to you Faith in what drops remained in my hands bore foolish atonement, pointless condolence Surely only to pass me by, all of it gone, nothing to remain All is born from the void, in the end to be consumed by black Not even knowing that is their fate, unable to grasp that is the end Sensing death and seeing it near, running lost to scramble ahead Sensing life and seeing it near, living so hard to arrive at death Scared, cold, tired, and torrid; this heart, this body, all of it Digging, screaming, bludgeoning, leaping, crushing away into dust Something is left inside of me even though it should not be In a place they could not enter yet that is where they remain Where I should be seeing nothing my eyes catch impossible sight I believed something could last and so resulted this illusion It draws away and fades so fast, the lingering silence terrifies What's left is a flowing wound that grows, stabbing deeper into me It hurts in ways I don't understand to degrees I cannot take I've clawed until my nails are bare; my fingers split and pooling blood All is born from the void, in the end to be consumed by black Not even knowing that is their fate, unable to grasp that is the end All is born from the void, in the end to be consumed by black I'm sure I've dodged the thought as well, refusing to see how it ends Grasp in bloody embrace"
To fully explain the lyrics in a single sentence: "Knowledge is power, and power corrupts. There were simply some things man was not supposed to know."
And still ppl would rather have more Persona, Legend of heroes and Dragon Quest over something like Lost Odyssey... My mind is blown by the people in this world we live in.
I beat it too! I bought this game initially because I saw it in GameStation for £5! Best fiver I spent on a game I knew zero about before! They showed in a gaming mag that number 2 of this game was in the work but, obviously very sadly it just didn't happen. 😔
It gave me chills when this theme was played after Toot lost his clash against the violet servant in Gambler's Delight. Thankfully, it lead to one of the best finishes among all Arcadum's campaigns.
Today I finished this game for the first time. The truth is that I do not understand how it is not a more recognized game. It is very good, with an excellent story, really challenging fights, endearing characters and a soundtrack that will resonate in your head for a long time. I want Lost Odyssey 2, Microsoft.
I think with Lost Odyssey it's really the case of simply don't having a well established name to carry it. It's not really fair but that's how it works. Part of me thinks that if this game had come out three years later, when everyone was dissapointed with FF13 and fed up Square Enix, this game might have gained a lot more popularity. Being exclusive to a console that, despite having quite a good amount of awesome JRPGs, wasn't exactly the first choice for fans of the JRPG genre. But no matter the reasons, it is a shame that this game flew under the radar so hard. I first played it in 2013 and this game reminded me so much of what I used to love about JRPGs but without relying solely on nostalgia.. To me, this will always be the true Final Fantasy 13.
@@D-Nova The sad fact is it did have great established names on the game, but people care more about the company name then the people who make it. This game was panned for being a FF rip off on releases even though most the people no the project created FF 1 through 9 :/
The biggest reason for it being so underrated is the fact that it was an Xbox 360 exclusive, and this console wasn't very popular with JRPG fans. Most people would expect the PS3 would have all the great JRPGs.
Games are unique in that they can draw from any number of sources for musical inspiration and even contain a large variety of types of different musics, carrying different moods that are then attempted to be conveyed to you throughout the game. This variety and diversity is crucial to making you feel like they think you should feel for the experience.
This song is perfect, specially for a final boss, it has everything, sounds epic, like gregorian chant, it has rock, electronic, weird lenguage and it never stops, the first time i listen it when i faced gongora was awesome.
@@StormClaws7 This was played in Gambler's Delight - When Toot lost the clash against the Violet Reflection which allowed it to summon a blade of absolute nothingness and granted it the ability to cause violet death to the next person in their party that it was going to kill.
This is probably the best RPG nobody has ever heard of these days. It's insane how little attention this game got and still gets. It's literally barely mentioned even in people's top 100s. Its story and music definitely rank very highly.
I like how the song incorporates part of Gongoras theme near the end. Let’s you know he’s no longer the quiet schemer and is ready to let you feel the full extent of his power.
I just got done with fighting the final boss for the first time ever. I finally got to finish this game after about 10 years of not being able to play it. I wish I was able to sooner...This game is so goddamn great.
People want to say Dancing Mad is Uematsu’s masterpiece. And that’s fine. But this song is haunting in the first half and straight up trolling you in the second half. I love every second of it
This will forever be the GREATEST final boss fight music EVER. Legit thinking of buying this game just to experience the moment of sheer terror this song brought when facing the boss. Just chills!
Is that video of the one guy with only a guitar playing this song still on RUclips? That video was great. I think Sakaguchi just lets Uematsu do whatever the hell he wants at this point. That explains this track and Eternity over in Blue Dragon.

The end is upon us... the Herald approaches... nothing will survive unless our heroes can push IT back. Soon we face oblivion, but HOPE is not so easily extinguished... For Kalkatesh! For Verum! FOR THE LIVING WORLD!!!! Good luck heroes. And thank you Arcadum for making such a great world and a wonderful story. Your games have given me and doubtlessly many others inspiration, joy, and hope. Thank you.
This game teach you a lot about the value of death and life. I really enjoyed reading Kaim memories, they are pretty well written and the background sound effects and music always fit.

Running into the duo Eldritch Guardians made me wanna quit Darkest Dungeon. My pride, and joy survival party got completely wiped out, in only a couple turns.
I still remember my favorite scene in this game Seth; If this is all it takes to wear you out we're in trouble... Jansen; Well I don't wear out in bed! XD
I just finished this game, this is the real FF13. Absolutely stunning game, I can't believe it's 7 years old when it's so much better than current JRPGs.
So true! To me, Lost Odyssey is like a combination of all the things, I've been missing from newer Final Fantasy games. Awesome music, powerful looking spells and interesting characters. Also, I like the lack of palette-swapped enemies. Sure, there are some but at least you're not fighting the same five or six monsters over and over again, only with different color schemes. Why FFX had to reintroduce that trend is beyond me.
Clesarie Ever heard of the Tales series? It's really good though the most recent entry was terribly underwhelming. Next one comes out early next year and it's called Tales of Berseria. There's also FFXV coming out though we'll have to see whether it's any good or not =P
cloud50006 My stance on tales is that the old 2d games are better and that once you've played one 3d tales you've played them all. The series peaked at Vesperia.
Played it in my series X for the first time, honestly one of my favorite JRPGs now, however the final cutscene lost all audio, so I just played this during the final fight
I just came back to this game after a year and beat it a couple days ago. I'm really glad I got bored enough to come back to it. I should've beaten it sooner. It may not have all the bells and whistles of the current final fantasy, but it's a really good game with a great story. Too bad it's probably gonna be one of the most underrated rpgs in recent years. Maybe one of the most underrated ever.
uematsu pure genius,same combination opera-metal with a new sort of japanese rap but I see that more like a mantra recitation that works perfectly with the whole song.You can find the lyrics in dog ear records
Now to comment on the song itself, I love the rap that begins to take place at 3:23, somehow it is cryptic and adds to the mood of the theme. It's pretty nuts to say the least, I gotta hand it to Uematsu in that regard, he really went all out with this theme. It's that rap though, it's cryptic as hell, I am certain it's in Japanese, but the guy just did a great job of actually adding to the atmosphere with the driving guitar, to me that's the best part of this awesome theme.
Epic song, I stood there doing nothing for a bit during this fight just to listen to the song. And I'll be honest, I was such a fangirl for Kaim for a while haha that's why I was annoyed with Sarah for a while XD But now I'm happy for them, both are great characters, especially Kaim. He changed so much throughout the game, I loved it all. And ya know...I hated Jansen or a while, but now I'm sooo glad he was there
I would have to agree with you on that one my friend. I like where it starts and the chanting in japanese. I actually think that the chants are saying "Where times exsist death watches from afar" I read that up somewhere. but if someone would like to correct me please do
@RetroGameKid I was, as well, apprehensive about playing the game at first. I played for the hell of it, I stayed for the pure awesomeness. (You can hear this if you let the title screen idle for a few.)

Helo, i beat this game today. After have all the party together i made some secondary quest, get the anti element and anti status skills, +10 skills slots, visit the tower of enlightment and i go out with level 70 and fucking evaporate Gongara's ass... That wasnt even legal and i enjoy it sooo much. I really love when a RPG let me do this.
@MrExplodingBurrito True. But there's no shing megai tensei game on next gen consoles. And I was dissapointed with the Catherine Demo, the gameplay felt like a 10 bucks downlodable PSN titule, not a 60 bucks retail game.
@snievanBB1 i might mess it up since im an amature... but i think he says "Time dwells in the path of darkness lead all away from light" over and over again
The lyrics are the Final Fantasy creator inventing cosmic horror rap.
"Feeling, believing through eternity
A heart that will not die nor fade
Twisted and distorted it overflows
Clouding redder, ever darker
Far beyond, it continues to live
A body trembling in sense of loss
Until only the sound of defeat
Remains to be crushed between its teeth
Enduring the marks of fleeting time
Ever unbearable as they accrue
That there was never an answer
Has long become so clear to you
Faith in what drops remained in my hands bore foolish atonement, pointless condolence
Surely only to pass me by, all of it gone, nothing to remain
All is born from the void, in the end to be consumed by black
Not even knowing that is their fate, unable to grasp that is the end
Sensing death and seeing it near, running lost to scramble ahead
Sensing life and seeing it near, living so hard to arrive at death
Scared, cold, tired, and torrid; this heart, this body, all of it
Digging, screaming, bludgeoning, leaping, crushing away into dust
Something is left inside of me even though it should not be
In a place they could not enter yet that is where they remain
Where I should be seeing nothing my eyes catch impossible sight
I believed something could last and so resulted this illusion
It draws away and fades so fast, the lingering silence terrifies
What's left is a flowing wound that grows, stabbing deeper into me
It hurts in ways I don't understand to degrees I cannot take
I've clawed until my nails are bare; my fingers split and pooling blood
All is born from the void, in the end to be consumed by black
Not even knowing that is their fate, unable to grasp that is the end
All is born from the void, in the end to be consumed by black
I'm sure I've dodged the thought as well, refusing to see how it ends
Grasp in bloody embrace"
To fully explain the lyrics in a single sentence:
"Knowledge is power, and power corrupts. There were simply some things man was not supposed to know."
Holy shit
The time for mercy has passed........
It was more like; "I'm sorry... (the Scythe tears through all reality around it) ... BUT THE TIME FOR MERCY HAS PASSED.
Cut the T posing Iron Pipe into two Ls.
And now a harrowing wind begins to blow...
Just beat this game today. It's criminally underrated. Easily one of the best JRPGs I've ever played.
Totally agree with you :-)
The stories of the prison mate going blind and the poor sick girl at the inn will haunt me forever.

Because Uematsu was all "Fuck subtlety, lets put some guitar riffs with that chanting! Them fans love that shit!"
The Herald calls...
Tfw when Lord Death gets serious.
death's scythe sharpens
Death does not miss
That rap/chant in the middle, plus the choir and epic shreddage and drumming equals musical awesomeness and uniqueness I've never heard anywhere else.
It's a chant, and it's in Japanese. The lyrics for it are available online.
We need a lost odyssey 2
Damn, this ost was Uematsu showing just how great he is.
This song is perfect, specially for a final boss, it has everything, sounds epic, like gregorian chant, it has rock, electronic, weird lenguage and it never stops, the first time i listen it when i faced gongora was awesome.
I admit, got scared when this started playing in the finale of Steel And Silence

The very beginning of this song is the same exact chord progression as the World of Ruin from FF6. Interesting stuff.
I love how ominous yet godly this theme is.
We need a sequel of this legendary game! This theme slapped hard when I 1st heard it in the final battle!

I can't tell you how long I've tried to find the lyrics to this dang theme, now its just a matter of figuring it out into english aahahahaha
Kinda simple, really. All you had to do was to google "Howl of the departed lyrics" And there it is. Found the English lyrics at some forum, no guarantee it's accurate.
trust and feel eternally
the mind that cannot die, cannot disappear
distorted and distorted it overflows
redder and darker it clouds
far far away I live on
trembling at the loss
I crunch only the sound of defeat
in the very end
enduring every passing moment
I pile them up with difficulty
you know that to this
there will be no answer
believing the moisture left in that hand, a foolish atonement, a useless condolence
surely [I] will go past everything, without leaving anything [behind]
all is born from the void, in the end everything is shrouded in black
without ever knowing such thing, without ever becoming aware of such thing
feeling death, gazing at death, [I] run away and arrive at the lost end
[I] feel because [I am] alive, [I] gaze because [I am] alive I live on and on until [my] death
a fearful cold dull and hot mind body and everything else
pulls cries strikes jumping up and down it crushes everything into pieces
inside me something remains but there is no way that could be but it’s still there
though no one tries to get inside there is still someone remaining there
though there is no way anything could be seen something can be seen there’s no way
[I] believe that there is no way it could be gone so [it’s] an illusion
it draws me in so it disappears so it’s too quiet as to make [me] afraid
the prickling pain drifts away, [and I] wait and wait trembling then it stabs
somehow somehow it hurts it hurts so much that [I] can’t endure anymore
my nails come off my fingers break the blood creates a pool as it runs down
all is born from the void, in the end everything is shrouded in black
without ever knowing such thing, without ever becoming aware of such thing
all is born from the void, in the end everything is shrouded in black
perhaps I was avoiding from becoming aware of such thing
[with this] bloodied [hand] I clasp it
Kaim Argonar Thanks Kaim.

the last verse is so fast I can't keep up
The end is upon us... the Herald approaches... nothing will survive unless our heroes can push IT back. Soon we face oblivion, but HOPE is not so easily extinguished... For Kalkatesh! For Verum! FOR THE LIVING WORLD!!!!
Good luck heroes. And thank you Arcadum for making such a great world and a wonderful story. Your games have given me and doubtlessly many others inspiration, joy, and hope. Thank you.
2023 and this song atill echoes in my head
truly the most epic villain theme ever!!!
period
This game teach you a lot about the value of death and life. I really enjoyed reading Kaim memories, they are pretty well written and the background sound effects and music always fit.
HAW, HAW, HAW, HAW, HAW, HAAAAAAAWWWW
Goddammit it's the Tidus Choir.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW
Interesting, I didn't know that Demon's Souls Tower Knight Theme has a sister
And it was awesome

Sounds like the theme of an eldritch abomination.
Running into the duo Eldritch Guardians made me wanna quit Darkest Dungeon. My pride, and joy survival party got completely wiped out, in only a couple turns.
I mean .. it kind of is... The imortals are essentially eldritch especially gongoras mastery of time that he gained
I still remember my favorite scene in this game
Seth; If this is all it takes to wear you out we're in trouble...
Jansen; Well I don't wear out in bed!
XD
Caim: * inner thoughts* both of you are idiots.
Finished today. A master piece. Best game I played this year 🥰
TidusLaugh_slowmix.mp3
now on xbox one!!!!
sounds like dream theater, crazy good music. Interesting textures as well
The chorus at the start are chanting the Dark World theme!(from FFVI)
Also at 3:22 it is FF7 Boss Battle theme, it's clear as day in the background.
One of the BEST game ever played on my live, sadly underrated, and I LOVE this final Boss theme
This theme is perfect when you are in final exams
I just finished this game, this is the real FF13.
Absolutely stunning game, I can't believe it's 7 years old when it's so much better than current JRPGs.
So true!
To me, Lost Odyssey is like a combination of all the things, I've been missing from newer Final Fantasy games.
Awesome music, powerful looking spells and interesting characters.
Also, I like the lack of palette-swapped enemies. Sure, there are some but at least you're not fighting the same five or six monsters over and over again, only with different color schemes.
Why FFX had to reintroduce that trend is beyond me.
I think FFX did it so it would be easier to see which character countered that specific enemy.
WHat current jrpgs? Jrpgs have be relgated down to cliches and tropes. No series jrpgs anymore. Just high school boob groping bs.
Clesarie Ever heard of the Tales series? It's really good though the most recent entry was terribly underwhelming. Next one comes out early next year and it's called Tales of Berseria. There's also FFXV coming out though we'll have to see whether it's any good or not =P
cloud50006 My stance on tales is that the old 2d games are better and that once you've played one 3d tales you've played them all. The series peaked at Vesperia.
Played it in my series X for the first time, honestly one of my favorite JRPGs now, however the final cutscene lost all audio, so I just played this during the final fight
I just came back to this game after a year and beat it a couple days ago. I'm really glad I got bored enough to come back to it. I should've beaten it sooner.
It may not have all the bells and whistles of the current final fantasy, but it's a really good game with a great story.
Too bad it's probably gonna be one of the most underrated rpgs in recent years. Maybe one of the most underrated ever.
That chanting...
uematsu pure genius,same combination opera-metal with a new sort of japanese rap but I see that more like a mantra recitation that works perfectly with the whole song.You can find the lyrics in dog ear records
I miss those clowns
this, is one of my all time if not my all time favorite boss battle theme EVER, its brilliant.
Now to comment on the song itself, I love the rap that begins to take place at 3:23, somehow it is cryptic and adds to the mood of the theme. It's pretty nuts to say the least, I gotta hand it to Uematsu in that regard, he really went all out with this theme. It's that rap though, it's cryptic as hell, I am certain it's in Japanese, but the guy just did a great job of actually adding to the atmosphere with the driving guitar, to me that's the best part of this awesome theme.
I applaud you Uematsu. SO NICE to see that RPGs can still occasionally produce quality final battle tracks.
Thanks for responding to my comment from 3 months ago. Now I can listen to epic music again ;D
Bro, I need a hour long version of this!
When you do. You will cry, scream, laugh, and have some of the best epic times of your life
I bought this game the day it came out and cannot praise it enough. Its a damn shame its only on xbox. Theres so much to the story its unreal.
epic music, especially when the japanese guy came in, was amazing and fit the awsome battle so well ;)
When mom gets home and you forgot to take the chicken out.

OOOHOOOHAAA! IIIIIEEEHIIIIII IIIIIEEEHIIIIII AAAHOOOIIIIIII! AAAHAAAHOOOO AAAHAAAHOOO EEEEHAAAHOOO!
(More epic guitar)
Epic song, I stood there doing nothing for a bit during this fight just to listen to the song. And I'll be honest, I was such a fangirl for Kaim for a while haha that's why I was annoyed with Sarah for a while XD But now I'm happy for them, both are great characters, especially Kaim. He changed so much throughout the game, I loved it all. And ya know...I hated Jansen or a while, but now I'm sooo glad he was there
Such an epic song right? I LOVE it!
When you are first against Daigo "The Beast" Umehara.
This game was excellent, I love 13 but I loved this game so much more!!!
At 1:00, that's Nobou sneaking in from FF7.
1:00 - 4:56 my favorite part. The other part is still good though.
1:00 wait this is song sounds like dance of death (last story) I finished this game last night and noticed it
salty nipple fwiend Same company and composer. You even hear part of dancing mad in this
all hail to the master of good music nobuo uematsu
2:45 100% legit dancing mad
Still sad this game never got on PC, it would be fun if it did.
It's pretty close to being playable in Xenia. Sadly, the music is one of the things that's currently broken.
Nobuo always goes off with final boss tracks
I would have to agree with you on that one my friend. I like where it starts and the chanting in japanese. I actually think that the chants are saying "Where times exsist death watches from afar" I read that up somewhere. but if someone would like to correct me please do
@RetroGameKid
I was, as well, apprehensive about playing the game at first. I played for the hell of it, I stayed for the pure awesomeness.
(You can hear this if you let the title screen idle for a few.)
in case you were wondering what the demonic-sounding voice near the loop is saying?

-------------------------
Feeling, believing through eternity
A heart that will not die nor fade
Twisted and distorted it overflows
Clouding redder, ever darker
Far beyond, it continues to live
A body trembling in sense of loss
Until only the sound of defeat
Remains to be crushed between its teeth
Enduring the marks of fleeting time
Ever unbearable as they accrue
That there was never an answer
Has long become so clear to you
Faith in what drops remained in my hands bore foolish atonement, pointless condolence
Surely only to pass me by, all of it gone, nothing to remain
All is born from the void, in the end to be consumed by black
Not even knowing that is their fate, unable to grasp that is the end
Sensing death and seeing it near, running lost to scramble ahead
Sensing life and seeing it near, living so hard to arrive at death
Scared, cold, tired, and torrid; this heart, this body, all of it
Digging, screaming, bludgeoning, leaping, crushing away into dust
Something is left inside of me even though it should not be
In a place they could not enter yet that is where they remain
Where I should be seeing nothing my eyes catch impossible sight
I believed something could last and so resulted this illusion
It draws away and fades so fast, the lingering silence terrifies
What's left is a flowing wound that grows, stabbing deeper into me
It hurts in ways I don't understand to degrees I cannot take
I've clawed until my nails are bare; my fingers split and pooling blood
All is born from the void, in the end to be consumed by black
Not even knowing that is their fate, unable to grasp that is the end
All is born from the void, in the end to be consumed by black
I'm sure I've dodged the thought as well, refusing to see how it ends
Grasp in bloody embrace
holy shit.

Heia, Heia, Heia, Heia, Heia! *crazy guy starts singing as in a scary ritual*
OH yes. i know exactly what you mean. This is truly an epic piece from an epic game
I was shivering in excitement for the whole lenght of the fight thanks to this awesome ost.....hail to Uematsu.
first time i heard this when i got to gongora i had a awesomegasm
years later, I still believe this is one of the best JRPG games out there, without a match.
How can something be "one of the" and yet be unmatched? If it's "one of the", that means there are other ones that match it.
śmieć Well there are those with opinions after all
He wasn't ragging on your opinion. It's just that "one of the best" and "without a match" doesn't really stick together :p
this needs to be compatible for xbox one! ive got a copy of this just waiting to be played
and so it became such, literally picked up a copy for cheap right before New Years
3:09 GAWD WHEN THE BEAT DROPS!
Yeah, Kaim got the number one RPG character in GameInformer magezines =D
The beginning sounds exactly like when you first get into the world of ruin in FF6
2:45 has some GIGANTIC Dancing Mad vibes
Helo, i beat this game today. After have all the party together i made some secondary quest, get the anti element and anti status skills, +10 skills slots, visit the tower of enlightment and i go out with level 70 and fucking evaporate Gongara's ass... That wasnt even legal and i enjoy it sooo much.
I really love when a RPG let me do this.
Well haven't played this game but now i'm going to buy it right away.
@MrExplodingBurrito
True. But there's no shing megai tensei game on next gen consoles.
And I was dissapointed with the Catherine Demo, the gameplay felt like a 10 bucks downlodable PSN titule, not a 60 bucks retail game.
my favorite j-rpg ever. kaim's memories are some of the best stories i have ever read.
@snievanBB1 i might mess it up since im an amature... but i think he says "Time dwells in the path of darkness lead all away from light" over and over again
I would kill to get a remaster of this game
This music is tight and also sweet
Still a banger!
