I was 7 when this came out and it was one of the first games, along with Final Fantasy IV, that really showed me how serious and artistic video games could be. It was one of the first that I was able to get through by myself as well and I still love it 25 years later! The music is so good.
I was 1, many years later i found the rom in my brother's computer, it was the first game i've finished. i'd love to own the cartridge even thou i don't own an Snes.
Man this game was pretty deep, especially when I was a kid. They talk about death, sadness and loneliness and combined with the great soundtrack was haunting. Such a great game.
Then you play The Illusion of Gaia and realize the futility of life or rather, the futility of the future of mankind, grow depressed until you discovered you most loved one and strive to see them again. I'm too drunk for this, sorry.
Leo's Laboratory. That song commanded attention whenever it played. I remember playing this and wife asking me to please try and get through that area as quickly as possible so it would stop.
This game embodies how I think a video game should play. You start with a very simple gameplay style that is easy to grasp, then you unlock more as you play. This game took it to such an extreme that it made unlocking each new aspect of the game exciting. Even if it was some random character, I was all over them trying to figure out the puzzle behind them.
I played this game all night to stay up for a brain scan at the Mayo clinic in Rochester Minnesota. I will never forget it! Listening to this soundtrack is so nastalgic. It was such a difficult time in my life when I was young, and this game was such a perfect parallel to my life. I took my life about six months later at 17 years old. I went into another dimesion within myself as my brain dies, experiencing a replicate universe within the brain, in time dialation. It is actually still the year 1994, but light still plays out it's quantum course. Soon my brain will cease being able to simulate this existence. I will then be reconnected with the original universe I came from. If somehow someone saves me as I lay there dead, then when I come back I will know of the entire future up till now.
I don't know why but I never tire of this soundtrack, it is still a classic to this day. "Lonely Town" and "The Depths of the Sea of Saint Elle's" were always two of my favorite tracks, but then again the upbeat "Bewitching Space" is also excellent.
If anybody has any game soundtrack (song or full album) they can't get on here (or can't find as a full album) feel free to leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.
I mean, funnily enough, they are part of the same "series". Actraiser, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma, and Actraiser II are all connected. I don't remember the "timeline" of sorts, save that Soul Blazer comes directly before Illusion of Gaia, but it's been a while.
Zelda, EarthBound, Final Fantasy...best console ever, best music ever!!! You should check out the overworld themes from The 7th Saga. It's really good.
One of the earliest greatest rpgs. Quintet and Enix did amazing work. This soundtrack stays with me to this day. I dedicate this post to a dear friend that I unfortunately haven't seen in years and he unfortunately passed away in his sleep and his roommate found him. I couldn't imagine come across that😢. RIP Draknar Everhate, Aaron Mayfield. Til next time. PS thanks for letting me borrow FF3, I didn't get to complete it but that will change; also wise decision not letting me borrow Chrono Trigger. That game is an absolute masterpiece!
Ohhhh mannnnn... this was my game back in the day. Nobody around me knew about this game (before the internet took traction). @51:15 the first time i heard the track after completing the game, I immediately fell in love with it; and Lisa's image on the screen. It was simple but beautiful yet so sad and full of yearning. It's a master piece. XD
I feel the same way! I’ve made all my friends and even my wife play it. I remember being a kid and sitting down drawing maps and passing the controller back and forth with my brother, trying to find all the gems(?) to get infinite magic. It was so fun to not have online help back then. I still play every game the same way.
And that beauty and yearning you describe at the end. I felt that same way. I was almost sad more than happy that I had beat the game. Feel the same way each time I beat it to this day. The best games always make me feel that way. That’s how I know which games are my favorite
Man I loved this game, I remember I got it because not much else worth a look to me was coming out anytime soon and I ended up enjoying this so much it's in my top 10 SNES. The soundtrack made the game that much cooler to me, thanks for posting this. Brought back lots of memories
Damn, they must have brought in Flea for some of these bass lines... 21:38. In all seriousness though, great game, great soundtrack, thanks for uploading!
LMAO seriously, a lot of the basslines in this sound like something Flea would play. But yeah the Lostside music DEFINITELY sounds like a typical Flea bassline. Takekawa must have been a Chili Peppers fan.
I was in primary school around age 9 I had a copy of this game that was Japanese ( not sure exactly ) through sheer repetition I learned how to save and actually beat the game eventually .
Also, I will never forget beating the game and listening to the credit track. I went back about 20 years later and beat the game again in full this time. I never originally found the weapon hidden in the town, although I remember looking for it when I beat the game the first time, and I always felt like I never truly fullfilled my destiny in the game, lol.
I got super mario world and link to the past with my system but this game holds a piece of nostalgia as well. Amazing game that still holds up. I recommend playing it.
6:15 was always my Favo one. I even just turned on the SNES in the old days. And just let the music play while doing homework or so Ahh. good old times.
I haven't played this game since I was a kid. I loved that music, it was setting you up to undertake a great adventure. I'm going to play it again someday and relive the GLORY!
If you feel like playing it there's a really good and easy to use site called 'vimm' that has pretty much every SNES game as well as the emulator. The emulator is really easy to use and if you have an Xbox or Playstation controller you just need to plug the charger into your computer and you can use it to play SNES games
Yo, someone seriously needs to take a look at Leo's Laboratory, because that song is absolutely cracked. Different time signatures, different keys, intense syncopation. It's so creative. So good.
This game is a part of the Actraiser series among a couple other games. The MC is basically another "angel" sent down by the Master to save humanity. IMO this game's music is most similar to Chrono Trigger's, which came out later.
40:43 Love this one! I remember watching my brother play this, while I was drawing my little. This track had inspired this evil character of mine, he was created in a black hole. ^_^
I really like solitary island, its a fun track. I love the drum break when it loops. I'm gonna try to do a rock cover of it, even though nobody knows it.
Okay, so when I used to play SoulBlazer back in the day, sometimes when I turned the game on and the gigantic logo was scrolling across the screen, the music sounded like it was skipping. The opening percussion tripped over itself. It didn't happen every time, just sometimes. There was nothing wrong with the cartridge, and that was the only glitch I ever experienced. Anybody know what might have caused this?
Mine does it too, lol. Maybe the code is *just barely* fast enough to run on the SNES or something. Maybe when it heats up a little, the SNES loses a CPU cycle or two and we get some skipping? I dunno. I wondered about it, too. X'D
Just saw that RUclips marks the songs in the timebar, pretty neat! Now they should fix the copyright claim system. :) (In the mean time... KOIBITOOOOOOOOOO...).
Here listening to this awesome soundtrack after the announcement of Actraiser being revived and hoping this game AND the sequels get brought back with it now that SE remember Enix had some amazing shit before the merger.
Has anyone documented the main theme variation?? I dont know how to triger it but sometimes the into song begins slower and without the drums, it kind of builds up some additional epicness
My first game on super nes... And i finished it in Japanese please! An awesome game with an incredible soundtrack... Enix made good adventure game zelda like at this time! The next game "Gaia" was amazing too!
I was about 11. I had soul blade ( I think it was called) non English version. Finished the damn thing by matching symbols inches text. Took ages just to learn how to save.
Just when I thought I became an agnostic, all I need to hear is 3:07 and I'm kneeling to a God I never knew, yet they were so ingrained into my brain i must worship. I suppose this is spirituality without religion. No church has called to me like this song, and for this, I must listen deeply to understand The Master.

Such an underrated video game!
It's basically hidden gem status 💎
6:24 the one that touches my heart, love it ❤️
Same!
RIP Turbo
It's a variation on the town development theme from ActRaiser, as is 16:14.
Yes, TheMcLay ❤️😊
Sounds like dragon quest.
I was 7 when this came out and it was one of the first games, along with Final Fantasy IV, that really showed me how serious and artistic video games could be. It was one of the first that I was able to get through by myself as well and I still love it 25 years later! The music is so good.
I was also 7. It was the first game I ever actually beat, because I loved it so much. I still have my cartridge, though my SNES is LOOOONG gone.
I was 1, many years later i found the rom in my brother's computer, it was the first game i've finished. i'd love to own the cartridge even thou i don't own an Snes.
I still find myself sitting down and playing through it once in a while when I'm bored, amazingly it still hasn't got old even after all these years.
Came out when I was 6, just played it on my snes a few weeks ago which is why I'm pulling up the soundtrack on youtube lol. FF4 was a great game too.
Same this is my all time favorite SNES game . I'm looking for it so I can binge play it for a couple of days, and beat it again .
Why is the soundtrack so haunting? Especially the 6:23 one? Played it my childhood and could never forget it.
One of my all time fav games, i replay it even more than ALTTP.
Man this game was pretty deep, especially when I was a kid. They talk about death, sadness and loneliness and combined with the great soundtrack was haunting. Such a great game.

In the third Game of the Series "Terranigma" the Story about life is wonderfull * _ *
"If a man kills one person, he is considered a murderer. If a man kills 100, he is considered a hero."
-Magridd
I remember this was my first game that I emulate ( my sister bring a CD with the emulator and some game, I was so amaze) ❤️
I agree! Great comment. I was so serious when I played this with my neighbour at 6 years old :)
Leo's Laboratory. That song commanded attention whenever it played. I remember playing this and wife asking me to please try and get through that area as quickly as possible so it would stop.
08:10 damn I love that bass line
amen bruh, was looking for someone to cover slapping his bass. Didn't find it :(
@@magicseahorse still waiting
Find it yet? @@Cyberfoxxy
was always a fav of mine too, it hits so good

Any new stock pics that could male me a lot of money, coming up?
One of my favorite SNES games of all time.

Must've been a decade since i last heard "Lonely town" but man i loved this song as a kid :)
If anybody has any game soundtrack (song or full album) they can't get on here (or can't find as a full album) feel free to leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.
SimCity Cities of Future?
the good old days of gaming ,when companies put real effort into making good games
6:23 - This is the song I came here to hear. And it's just now hitting me that this sounds like it came straight out of Actraiser. Whoa.
Both games use the same instrument samples
I mean, funnily enough, they are part of the same "series". Actraiser, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma, and Actraiser II are all connected. I don't remember the "timeline" of sorts, save that Soul Blazer comes directly before Illusion of Gaia, but it's been a while.
SNES is my record player! Soul Blazer, Brain Lord, Illusion of Gaia, Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, etc.
Zelda, EarthBound, Final Fantasy...best console ever, best music ever!!!
You should check out the overworld themes from The 7th Saga. It's really good.
Terranigma!
natraan lagoon ost was the best!
7th saga & actraiser
Castlevania IV
One of my all time faves on the system. Such an overlooked, underrated gem! And the sound track is soooo good.
One of the earliest greatest rpgs. Quintet and Enix did amazing work. This soundtrack stays with me to this day. I dedicate this post to a dear friend that I unfortunately haven't seen in years and he unfortunately passed away in his sleep and his roommate found him. I couldn't imagine come across that😢.

Just stopping by 9 years after this was uploaded to remind people this game and soundtrack are still awesome. 😎
i miss how simple this game was and how you could talk to literally everything haha
God Damn I love this soundtrack haha. I remember being a kid and making my own drum parts for every song. Now I play a few of these songs in my band!
Ohhhh mannnnn... this was my game back in the day. Nobody around me knew about this game (before the internet took traction). @51:15 the first time i heard the track after completing the game, I immediately fell in love with it; and Lisa's image on the screen.

The slap bass in this is too good.

Incredible sound theses days...
Loved the game..
Played it directly after "mystic quest"...
The sound was very special and cool...
Hey, me too! Mystic Quest is the first videogame I ever beat, and Soul Blazer was the second! Kindred spirits, you and I.
This precious world
I played it as a child a lot of times.
This music is so saved in my memorys
Damn, they must have brought in Flea for some of these bass lines... 21:38.
In all seriousness though, great game, great soundtrack, thanks for uploading!
LMAO seriously, a lot of the basslines in this sound like something Flea would play. But yeah the Lostside music DEFINITELY sounds like a typical Flea bassline. Takekawa must have been a Chili Peppers fan.
Never knew there was a vocals track. Thanks for uploading these.
i told my wife this soundtrack reminds me of her, now she won't stop dancing to it...
especially the mines theme
i still have this game for my snes and this music takes me back. Thumbs up for memories.
I was in primary school around age 9
I had a copy of this game that was Japanese ( not sure exactly ) through sheer repetition I learned how to save and actually beat the game eventually .
Oh man. Thanks for the upload.
No problem, glad you enjoyed :)
11:23 My favourite :,) (from the game). I LOVE A Night without a Lover
Also, I will never forget beating the game and listening to the credit track. I went back about 20 years later and beat the game again in full this time. I never originally found the weapon hidden in the town, although I remember looking for it when I beat the game the first time, and I always felt like I never truly fullfilled my destiny in the game, lol.
I was expecting the intro song's drum beat to glitch in and out like my old copy would.
Playing this game as a kid definately got me ready for WoW lol. The sheer joy of simply being able to interact with every creature around.
Utterly sick drum fill at 31:16 after the buildup
I skipped school to play this game and find all the secrets
i never played this game before, but i love the soundtrack! it reminds me of castlevania 4's! which just so happens to be epic
I carry Into The Dream with me in my memories.
Childhood memories right there.
So wish they would release this game in the eshop along with illusion of gaia. Crystalis for the NES would be fricken awesome to play again.
And the third Game of the Series : Terranigma
10/10 would play all of these games again.
The Soul Blazer trilogy on the Switch please!
I got super mario world and link to the past with my system but this game holds a piece of nostalgia as well. Amazing game that still holds up. I recommend playing it.
Funkiest OST in the history of videogames.
6:15 was always my Favo one. I even just turned on the SNES in the old days. And just let the music play while doing homework or so Ahh. good old times.
A Night Without a Lover always makes me feel so nostalgic. It's my favorite from the track.
I never played this as kid but I wish I did I feel like it's one I missed out on as a kid. What a great soundtrack though!
Funky, quirky, rocky and so much more...
36:03 sound like Mr Oizo !!!
i think this game was better then some of the games of today !
Peaceful Days is to be our Worldhymn when the Evil is Dead, erased and killed worldwide. ❤
Such a cool game and soundtrack that I keep playing this while I'm working at home. Lol
Can't remember how many times i've played this game. Some of the best music.
Grooviest soundtrack known to man.
Soul Blazer is such an awesome game!!!
Kind of similar to the OST of Fire Emblem 4. Great games both :'D
+Luthea your right the soul blazer ost does have a fire emblem 4 ost vibe i agree ^_^
Oh My Childhood
In my dreams I can fly.
I haven't played this game since I was a kid. I loved that music, it was setting you up to undertake a great adventure. I'm going to play it again someday and relive the GLORY!

@@skullkid325 Does it work on MacBook Air?
@@skullkid325 Alright I was able to figure it out. Thank you so much
@@tomasarana6695 No problem man, have a blast
51:09 Beatiful
I used to fall asleep with my snes on listening to 'into the dream' on loop back in the day. Now that I know the song name it is super fitting!
I remember play testing this game so many years ago. The gameplay was great, but the soundtrack...couldn't rate it high enough!
thanks
Ah, Soul Blazer - snes music you can have coitus to without ever missing a beat. Especially tracks 4 and 9, trust me on this...
And track 14!
32:20 my faverite
Mine too.
and 3:07 the shrine sounds like dracula was a good guy lol
and 3:10 the shrine
Hidden Gem , both music and gameplay. Highly recommend
This soundtrack is Disco as hell! Love it!
Yo, someone seriously needs to take a look at Leo's Laboratory, because that song is absolutely cracked. Different time signatures, different keys, intense syncopation. It's so creative. So good.
11:25 does it for me, I love its hauntingly beautiful melody. 43:39 goes great as a boss battle theme
One of the game i play a lot on rainy days back then
One of the best games ever made, easily.
8:10 This track is also known as Underground Castle on KH Insider.
This game had a good mix of instrumental music and funk.
Blazer released Slapping Bass
This game is a part of the Actraiser series among a couple other games. The MC is basically another "angel" sent down by the Master to save humanity.
IMO this game's music is most similar to Chrono Trigger's, which came out later.
24:03 favorite song on this ost. 40:43 heard this about 3 kajillion times grinding
21:38 this song actually sounds like it is meant for a soccer game
40:43 Love this one! I remember watching my brother play this, while I was drawing my little. This track had inspired this evil character of mine, he was created in a black hole. ^_^
Nice Sound Track
I really like solitary island, its a fun track. I love the drum break when it loops. I'm gonna try to do a rock cover of it, even though nobody knows it.
I know it !
I love this ost
Ok no one is gonna talk about the bass huh?
One day someone’s going to mine the games from this era - this one included - and make some amazing hip-hop.
Only 3K views? Am I the only one viewing it? I come here everyday ;)
***** Ya, this is one of those timeless games. Amazing soundtrack, play experience and story-telling :)
you still there bro ?
The "Linda H shot on iPhone Song" reminds me of some Songs from Soul Blazer. 😄
10 years looking for this song... ;-; 6:23
Okay, so when I used to play SoulBlazer back in the day, sometimes when I turned the game on and the gigantic logo was scrolling across the screen, the music sounded like it was skipping. The opening percussion tripped over itself. It didn't happen every time, just sometimes. There was nothing wrong with the cartridge, and that was the only glitch I ever experienced. Anybody know what might have caused this?
Mine does it too, lol. Maybe the code is *just barely* fast enough to run on the SNES or something. Maybe when it heats up a little, the SNES loses a CPU cycle or two and we get some skipping? I dunno. I wondered about it, too. X'D
Just saw that RUclips marks the songs in the timebar, pretty neat! Now they should fix the copyright claim system. :)
(In the mean time... KOIBITOOOOOOOOOO...).
One of my favorite games from my favorite videogame company. I'm sure you can see this is where I got the idea for codename here on RUclips!
Here listening to this awesome soundtrack after the announcement of Actraiser being revived and hoping this game AND the sequels get brought back with it now that SE remember Enix had some amazing shit before the merger.
Never got to play this. Heard it's great. Never got to finish Illusion of Gaia either. Maybe one day. . .
I still like this game but it cant be helped ... each time u swing your sword its sounds like Maggie Simpsons pacifier ... * thx for upload ^^ *
Has anyone documented the main theme variation?? I dont know how to triger it but sometimes the into song begins slower and without the drums, it kind of builds up some additional epicness
I l ove this music! ♥
My first game on super nes... And i finished it in Japanese please!
An awesome game with an incredible soundtrack...
Enix made good adventure game zelda like at this time!
The next game "Gaia" was amazing too!
Davie504 needs to notice this soundtrack. Good heavens the slap and funk in it.
The Mines fuckin' thumps
The Mines
I was about 11. I had soul blade ( I think it was called) non English version. Finished the damn thing by matching symbols inches text. Took ages just to learn how to save.
Just when I thought I became an agnostic, all I need to hear is 3:07 and I'm kneeling to a God I never knew, yet they were so ingrained into my brain i must worship. I suppose this is spirituality without religion. No church has called to me like this song, and for this, I must listen deeply to understand The Master.
this is what happens when u go off ur meds
God is all around us. God is in everything we see, and you don't have to be a Christian to believe. This game reminds me of that.
