It's so bizarre hearing this theme in comparison to the other battle themes in the Sky Trilogy because it's honestly the most memorable battle theme because it represents the youth and low stakes that the Jr. Bracers face throughout the adventure, there's no other battle theme like it
This is probably the most divided battle theme I've ever heard... I also consider it the best battle theme I've ever heard. I understand why some people don't like it. Not every JRPG theme needs to sound like the world is ending...
I like how tight knit the Falcom community is that I can go from seeing you in another comments section with a Randy pfp and have the urge to listen to Trails osts and see you in the comments section lol. Anyways, this particular visit of mine was inspired by watching a Skallagrim video about quarterstaves. I'm sure you know the connection.
This music was perfect for the stage of the game it was in. I especially loved when I heard this song in TC, during Scherazard's memory door flashback. It makes sense since that flashback was 5 years in the past, making it technically one of the earliest points in the game which this song matches so well. Damn good choice of music. It's the little things like this that I really love :)
This song might've been the reason I played through the whole series. I knew immediately from ppl praising the game that this was gonna be a unforgettable ride so I jumped in and then heard this track and it was a wrap from there. 4 months later and I played all the way up to Kuro 2. Amazing games that deserve more love because they are truly *experiences* rather than just games.
Yoo! It happened the same to me, i was just hearing some random game soundtracks and this was on there, caught my attention really fast and now im a really big fan of the series and trails in the sky sc is one of my favs!
I started with Cold Steel but this is still my favorite battle theme. There’s something so nostalgic and satisfying about it. It really worked for where the story was at at the time, just two young kids journeying around Liberl, completely unaware just how messed up Zemuria really is
This music actually firsts pretty nicely for the most of the part, surprisingly enough... Unless you are playing Nightmare... then its more like watching your people getting killed to happy dancing music. LMAO.
My parents played this game many years ago when I was quite young, and ever since this specific song has been stuck in my head. I was never able to find out where it came from though. I just recently turned 17 and finally found it after all these years, its so nice to hear the full thing again. I simply adore this song.
They say the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. This was my first step. I was a skeptic, but I'm so glad I gave these games a chance to work their magic. The slow burn is worth it; I don't regret a second. This game opened up hundreds and hundreds of hours of getting to know great characters of various arcs, a fantastic soundtrack, and building worlds worth protecting. I'm so glad I found this game.
@@KayderimGameplays Just wanted to update you. I bought all three games of this arc and then Zero no Kiseki. The Crossbell arc is my favorite so far. There's just something about being the underdog that's appealing to me. But you were right, the music just keeps getting better and better the more I play these games!
I was in the same place back in 2017, glad to hear others are following behind me! Crossbell arc is hella solid, and Cold Steel takes a bit to really get going but once it does it takes you for a ride.
@@WalkerSunriseChannel I'm playing through CS right now. I'm impressed by how Falcom manages to weave together so many different people and stories, even smaller side characters that I forgot about show up. It's been a really good experience overall.
I like cold steel, it still felt like a trails game by all means, but something was lost after trails in the sky man, Idk how to describe it, some sort of charm was stripped away
Years ago I used to watch tons of anime. I remember always wanting to find new media and new favorites, searching for something that I could truly call my favorite work. I wasn't always satisfied, and after years of limiting myself to anime I realized I should've tried playing some games. I actually never played much, but after playing some JRPGs I found myself really enjoying them. Still, at the time (and still now) I remember really craving for a JRPG with a good love story. While searching around, I've found people talking about Trails in the Sky. I had already heard the name of The Legend of Heroes, more specifically I remember seeing the cover art of Cold Steel 1 and thinking to myself it was the most generic looking thing I've ever seen, thus didn't even consider playing it. After hearing the good reviews about Sky though, I started researching more about the series. It was quite wild to see that this was actually a massive series narrated across 9 games at the time (Sen IV had just released). Still I didn't really understand how the series was structured (I didn't realize the story was actually continuous), but what I understood is that this was probably one of the biggest, most ambitious stories on the planet. So I decided to give it a try, start up Sky FC... And damn I literally just dropped it the moment Scherazard starts explaining the Orbment system. At the time my English was absolutely mid, and I was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of NPCs the game had already even before the first gameplay section began. I decided to drop it. Probably something like an year later my English was much better, and while playing Code Vein I remember the same feeling i felt back then: I wanted to see a good love story in a JRPG. Thus I searched again, once again found people talking about Sky, and finally, on January 2020, I decided to give it a serious try. This time I actually could understand what Scherazard was asking to do, understood the Orbment mechanic, actually went ahead and talked with pretty much all NPCs... By then I've heard a lot of people talking about how fucking great this series was. When I began FC I wondered why was it held in such high regard. Then I actually went ahead with the story, finally going into the Rolent Sewers, starting the first fight with some rats... And then this song started playing. At that moment I fucking knew, this was going to become something legendary, and fuck if it did. From Liberl to Calvard, I have never loved a fictional story this goddamn much, and after Kuro II I can easily call this my absolute favorite piece of media. Thank you Ishibashi, and everyone responsible for creating this masterpiece of a series.
This battle theme is so good because it's the perfect one for Sora no Kiseki FC And it doesn't work in any other JRPG. No other game lacks the sense of urgency of FC, and it's perfect the way it is
This is the best battle theme of all time to me, there's something magical about it that's not been truly recaptured in any further games of the series. That's saying something though, because every trails game after this has a legend tier battle theme.
When i just started this series i don't really like this soundtrack since i'm not used to hearing a relaxing battle theme, but then i started to love it.
This is the Song that introduced me to the Kiseki games and convinced be to try Sky FC so it definitely holds a special place in me. I've since play the Sky Trilogy, Zero, and am currently playing Cold Steel 1 at the time of writing this while I wait for the Geofront translation of Azure. This series is really good and if you're considering giving the series a try I say go for it.
Went back here to listen to this tune. Reminds me of trails' humble beginnings. Battle/boss themes were so chill and pleasant to the ears back then.. nowadays it's all guitar riffs/metal/rock (not that I'm complaining)
@@JRPGforlife Nice I hope you liked the game! If you decided to play the 3rd I just have to say it's such a great game. Really different from FC and SC but still just as good and maybe even better in some aspects. I'm currently playing through Trails of Cold Steel 4 and I'm really glad I decided to play the previous arcs. Anyways enjoy the rest of your Trails journey!
Brings me back to when I first played the series. I think when I got into the first battles and heard this, so different from what you usually hear, that was the first indication that I was getting into something special.
Perfect theme for the most innocent-feeling trails game. Most of SC feels like you have a hole in your heart even when it's happy so a theme like this would never work.
Ill be honest, the first time i play it at 16, i hate the music so much i mute the BGM whenever I'm not in an event fight all the way to final boss. But now I'm just finished replayed it 10 years later, and I'm very surprised how i really enjoy the music and come to think that it really fit the games. And here i thought my taste in music never change much
Probably the most important track for FC honestly, cos when 75% of gameplay will consist of you running into enemies to level up and get from point a to b, you need some damn good music to be playing for them.
Just finished playing Trails 4 and now I'm starting the Trails series from the beginning cause I just bought them all and I've never been in love with a game series as much as Trails (Persona comes very close) and I'm so excited to play through the older games, thanks steam summer sale!
Avoid the comment sections on any OST for this series until you're done with it. I remember when I was going through First Chapter's soundtrack after I beat it, and I encountered spoilers for Second Chapter in some of the comment sections. (One of which ended up being something very late in the game). So just be careful. Honestly, I suggest avoiding the comments altogether until you've finished the whole trilogy.
You are in for a treat! I played the OG last year and it holds up tremendously (on PC.) I don't know how good the remake will be, but they have their work cut out for them if they want to match the brilliance of the OG.
'Your makeup; it's like it was applied by an artist! I mean, technically, it would actually have been applied by a makeup artist, but I mean, a _real_ artist! Not that makeup artist isn't a perfectly valid- look, y-you look nice, alright?'
"Uh oh...the colonel's gonna explode." "CRASHING THE MOBILE HOUSE INTO ART!?" "I do love a good moustache. Not that you should infer anything from that comment."
So fucking classy! I thought this was from a driving game or something! This feels like it should be a Gran Turismo or Mario Kart track! Shoutout to aizon who sent me here from using this as his outro!
@@Abominatrix650it's an rpg from 2004, I just started it a few days ago and I'm not very far in but so far it seems like a really good game. No complaints with characters and story either
I get the feels when I hear this and also, why is the fight sophisticated when I am fighting animals? Why is the fight not sophisticated when fighting sophisticated people?
![Kai no Kiseki [BGM RIP] - Boss Theme 7](/img/1.gif)
It’s crazy this game is suddenly getting a remake, but I needed more excuses to play this again once I complete it
god the announcement made me so happy i came back to listen to this battle theme, it's one of my faves i'm so excited
20 years and yet people still remembers it...
I LITERALLY just finished the original a week ago. It still stands up amazingly well.
I just started playing the game yesterday. Will definitely play the remake as well.
SO GOOD

exactly
This is probably the most divided battle theme I've ever heard... I also consider it the best battle theme I've ever heard. I understand why some people don't like it. Not every JRPG theme needs to sound like the world is ending...
Dw plenty of trails themes later on will sound exactly like the world is ending
@@d3ly746 ...I can now confirm this
This is the best Kiseki battle theme for me, out of the basic ones. The 2nd best is the trails of cold steel 3 one imo
I love this theme, despite always associating it with beating crop munchers with a stick.
I wasn't too keen on this theme at first but the more I played, the more it started really growing on me, and now I love it lol
Kinda hard to believe I'm in an actual fight with such a soothing, upbeat song.
Corrde

Sora no Kiseki trilogy was the absolute peak of the series and I'm glad it's getting a remake.

whenever I see ur pic on a whim I always mistake it for Dudley in Crossbell
The items and skills also functioned like they did in the past which really drove that feeling home.
