Unisuga's S-Craft: Grand Orchestral Masterpiece has been activated from the beyond! (grants epic boost to all players going through this phase). We miss you Unisuga, thanks for leaving behind this masterfully done ost
Quite poetic that he ascended with Valimar and the Divine Knights, then returned in Reverie with Valimar to help Rean then returning back at the higher plane.
Webmaster-sama, my beloved! You can FEEL Cold Steel III/IV vibes all over the place... Also, the quality of the composition, the realism of the instruments, the build up, he's just so good ;_;
Even what's seemingly an old reject is this good, easily a highlight on the OST... Says something about Unisuga... This piece feels like a gift, honestly. It's a blessing that it wound up in Kai so that we can all hear and enjoy it now.
Just finished the game 10 days ago, got my 100% Platinum Trophy 3 days ago. Times listened to this track: 4747728164637. What a STAGGERING finale. The last 20% of the game, in general, just kept bringing the twists, turns, lore drops, betrayals...absolutely peak fiction. And this track (along with the final dungeon theme) just elevates the experience so much!
The fact that this was scrapped from Cold Steel III just shows that they decided to change the final battle at some point, because this music is incredible, it's both epic and tragic, and I can clearly see if fitting on the final boss of CS3 IF it was centered more on the corruption of the Divine Beast instead of it already corrupted.
@@advmx3 To be fair, it being a reject from around CS3's time is still just speculation. I've seen decent points made in favor of it being from then, and in favor of being a piece made for Kai... I lean towards the former myself (partially out of pessimism, to disclose that bias lol), but I can see both sides... Probably won't be any further big evidence either way unless we get another leak incident, or maybe until the next Falcom game; (maybe also the OST release for Kai, but that's a big "maybe.")
Most emotional final boss theme in the series. This fight isn't one you're supposed to enjoy. Your opponent isn't one who's satisfying to beat up. You're just doing this because you must. And you know regret will follow.
This right here feels like they took the best parts of CS3 and CS4 music, asked Soken to collab for the song, and then added in their own trails charm to it. I can’t wait to experience this masterpiece in its context in a couple years.
Rare modern Falcom sound direction win. This old leftover perfectly fits the tragedy and shock of “everything has gone horribly wrong and my friend(s) have been deceiving me”
Magnificent song, couldn't expect anything less from him. The best to ever do it. I've missed his stand out percussion so much, and the violin is just impeccable due to his unmatched proficiency with vsts, it could very well be mistaken for a real violin. How anyone at Falcom thought that Unisuga was better delegated to another department is insane, even his unused music remains unmatched by anyone else in the vgm industry. There will never be talent like him again Also why did they not use this for the final boss in CS3? This would have fit extremely well instead of just reusing one way to the netherworld
If they had done a different sort of boss battle at the end of CS3, by showing the Divine beast's illusion of his true self then, slowly corroding realtime until the full effect of the curse is shown I can see this track making that whole situation insanely good. CS3 is one of the best games Falcom ever put around, even if the battle animations overal lacks finesse if compared to the new engine :)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY KING I ABSOLUTELY FUCKING KNEEL FOR YOU 🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎 (SPOILERS!!!) When this first played, I was like "No way... no fucking way Unisuga came back to compose the final boss theme...". Now, it may be a leftover, but it's still fucking hype. When the chanting kicks in, it was like an ascension into heaven. This whole battle was just fucking insane, Kincaid turning into the White Grendel, Emilia being shot down by the Sept-Terrion of Time after Roy thinking they won, Van 1v1ing him... It was peak fiction, and this track just adds so much to that. I think this is my favourite final battle in the entire Kiseki series. I'm also so glad I pegged this as Unisuga when I first played, without knowing he had a battle theme, it made the realisation significantly more powerful, and in turn made this battle and unforgettable moment in gaming for me. Just absolutely fantastic. Even with this track being less sophisticated than Unisuga's usual, it's still easily one of the best tracks in the game, a testament to his phenomenal skill. I legitimately don't think there is a composer in the world that matches Unisuga's skill when it comes to sound quality and polish; I have not heard one composers who eclipses him in that aspect, or even comes close for that matter. It's just insane that we had this king for so long, and even if he never composes again, his music will always go down in history as amongst the best the VGM music industry- no, the music industry in general, has to offer. Now, to kneel more for the king! 🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎🧎
Even supposing this is just a reject track from 2017, hearing it in this context gives it a whole new meaning. It sounds like a desperate, pained, yet impassioned plea to not be left behind and forgotten about. It's big, bold and polished in the production aspect, yet the melody is seemingly just an outline for a more fleshed-out version. It can't fully articulate itself and somehow that makes it sound even more moving.
this could've been CS3 final boss ost, so it fits, the ancient guardian of the earth septerrion who has tanked the curse for who knows how long until it couldn't anymore and turned out to be a huge monster
The Kiseki series helped me a lot at one time in my life. After Reverie and Kuro 2, I thought the series didn't know where it wanted to go, Kuro 2 wasn't really good. I found that there was a drop in quality from Sen after Ao no Kiseki, and that the Calvard arc was quite boring, it was unclear where they wanted to go. But Kai changed everything. The route system was good, the Kevin route is amazing, the Rean route is pretty useless but the fan service is good. the game answers a lot of questions from the beginning of the series and creates new ones. And the final has arrived. Who hoped for a final like this? For me, the series is at its peak again since the last chapter of Ao no Kiseki, the plot twist with the character (I won't spoil who for those who haven't played the game) is impossible to guess. The staging is completely crazy, the cinematic, the OST, everything was perfect. Thank you Falcom
They managed to recontextualize the series once more (since Azure) with the twist that paints the previous arcs in a much better light than before. Usually, that's not an easy feat to recontextualize established lore and make previous arcs that more better. It tends to be the other way around, unfortunately with these long form of narratives.
This man not just carry Ys series ,now he carry Trails too. What a legend .I heard this theme is denied theme that Falcom don't want ,now they put for this game .Falcom kinda weird sometimes .
"Falcom kinda weird sometimes ." Odds are because it was too much of a final boss theme and already had one for the relevent game. So not because bad, but because unneeded
It just goes to show how much of a talent Unisuga is, that Falcom are apparently still repurposing his unused tracks. You could easily mistake this for an unused track from Nier Automata, it has that same dramatic feeling and vocals reminiscent of Keiichi Okabe’s work. The percussion and VST strings here are just amazing too.
It must say something for me as a person that I'm willing to trudge through dozens - 100+ actually now - of crap Singa tracks just for the chance to hear Unisuga. One. More. Time. I refuse to spoil myself on this, not any more than knowing that it's waiting for me at the end. If this piece is really as good as all the comments are making it out to be, it deserves to be enjoyed in-game. Thank you, Unisuga. You're the greatest to ever have done it. We miss you, king.
I wish Jindo would arrange this into a more spectacular masterpiece. Of course, Unisuga's superb ability to forge epic music like this is already breathtaking, but I hope one day it will happen.
This sounds like Nier Song of the ancients/weight of the world vibes. Def catchy. I hope western release comes soon, I really wanna play this already T.T
WAITED AND WAITED, UNISUGA... FOR TWO-HUNDRED LONG YEARS. THIS TIME, YOU WILL BE MY COMPOSER NOT MITSUO SINGA. AGREE, AND I WILL DELIVER FALCOM SOUND TEAM JDK FROM DEATH.
Loved the game, started a bit slow and took a while but the ending was a nice payoff with so many things going on. Great OST compared to Crimson Sin II
I'm sure this is a CS3/4 Unisuga leftover. But definitely still a fresh song. The orchestral sound is top notch in this one! The percussion's similar to Phantasmal Blaze, though he used Action Strikes in this one. The mixing on the percussion sounds a bit unfinished, but oh well. Beggars can't be choosers. I'm curious what's the deal with the choir, did Unisuga put that in or Sonoda. If Unisuga, could be placeholder for Jindo choir like Azure Arbitrator, basically a way of saying insert lyrics here. If Sonoda, he might try to make it more epic. And I've heard him mashing random Latin syllables together before (Malicious Fiend), this might be right up his alley.
@@GuyNumbers People said there are unused or rejected songs he composed for CS3/CS4 and then used or remixed on Calvard Arc games (Kuro and Kai). He is still credited on the song pretending he is freelancer song composer or something.
@@veeshadow Hehe. Sounds about right. Sad he can't throw us a bone once in a blue moon. I wonder, if he threw in something in the next game with completely different VSTs, will we recognize it's him?
@@GuyNumbers Well, he still did Ys X and Reverie, and he changed a few VSTs which do sound diffrent. Like switching out his Yamaha Motif ES piano (which Koguchi still stick to for some reason) to Addictive Keys and Prominy V-Metal to Heavier7Strings for electric guitars. So there's substantial factors in his sound that marks his eras. (Pretty sure he used Friedlander Violin here, he swapped out to Joshua Bell by Reverie.) Hell you could also tell which of his songs' are older than Ys VIII by watching our for Yamaha Motif orchestral instruments. And you can tell if it's even older than Azure if the guitars, bass, and drums sound like their from the Motif, and not his high quality libraries. Which makes me wonder, is someone going to try to use his older leftovers in the future? I'd laugh my ass off if they put anyone's 2000's era leftover next game, especially if it features a cheesy Roland preset.
@@marcelpradipta7444 he was using both joshua bell and friedlander at the same time. desert after tears/like a whirlwind/aprilis use friedlander, while new life/end of saga use joshua bell. i'm not sure how much of the motif es he actually used past like, 2010... he was already using garritan stradivari violin and prominy LPC from the beginning in the mid 2000s.
@@jamessparrow7569 it would be great that if it's used rather than reusing "One-Way to the Netherworld" but this particular composition is in context and aged like wine 🧎
@@SenseiMasterShikikan-sama Wine couldn't even contain the music itself, for me. It's way more valuable than wine. Btw, I don't drink wine, so I may not know how it feels to compare music with wine. Haha
Unused track from Sen3 it seems. For some reason this banger was scrapped and they only decided to add it now. I THINK I KNOW the reason it was chosen, I didn't see a lot of spoilers, but if the final Boss is the person I think it is, this song actually fits. It's a desperate song, about someone or something who's slowly being corrupted and desperately wanting to be free but bound by the shackles of a curse they can't get rid of alone. Frankly it fits the Divine Beast corrupted in CS3 so well, it's a wonder why it was scrapped. But it also fits the final boss of Kai if it's who I think it is.
@@advmx3Falcom has a lot of scrapped songs and it’s very rare that like 5 managed to come out from that jail and be put in later trails games or other falcom series
??????????????????????????????? AIN'T NO FUCKING WAY. I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS WHAT THE FUCK I think this is the first time I shed tears listening to music since playing Zwei 2 last year and what do you know it's the same guy making me cry. definitely sounds like a leftover though
Even if this isn't as finished or interesting compared to what he can do nowadays (and many of his other orchestral songs historically in general) Just hearing his beautiful signature violin again.. just hearing his percussion again.. just hearing his knack for fast-paced orchestral music again... just hearing his punctual, purposeful, emotive transitions again.. Still my favourite composer and creative mind for anything in general - ever since I got into Trails, Ys and Falcom in 2021. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, I CAN'T STOP CRYING. If he ever makes music again pray he gets per-track credits and the recognition he deserves 🥲. Wish the best for him as usual.
Well, we know Unisuga doesn't do new music for Falcom anymore so it's pretty easy to conclude that anything you hear from him post Reverie has to be a previously rejected track. You just have to be able to recognize that this is Unisuga's work, which isn't too difficult if you're familiar with his style. It's also reminiscent of One-Way to the Netherworld from CS3 and quality wise it's definitely so it's easy to place the origin of Kai's final boss theme in that period. We also have a rough idea of how many unused tracks could potentially be gathering dust in Falcom's proverbial closets thanks to leaks of their internal archival system for tracks their composers produced. That's getting into the weeds though.
Because it doesnt make sense for unisuga to compose only 1 music while 40% goes to bingus, hes not composing music for falcom anymore, i wish im wrong but nothing new come from him since reverie
@@sazhenmari A low input doesn’t mean that this isn’t new. It just means that it isn’t his main job. I think he composes 1-2 tracks per year for fun while doing his sysadmin job.
@@sazhenmari there is precedent for him doing so. he only composed 2 actual songs during Ys SEVEN (2/4 were leftovers). I think more likely this is a leftover just based on the general instrumentation and composition, though.
@@YourVinished That makes this music more precious, given that he might have used more time to compose for a dramatic climax IMO. It makes me wonder what it would take to work as a music composer in the real world.
the choir effects are very reminiscent of something like Bipolar Nightmare from Automata, but the attention to detail is more characteristic of the orchestral boss music from Cold Steel. (me taking the Try Not to Reference the Composer challenge)
Haven't even played Kuro 2, but I will say this: IT seems they want to finish the series ASAP, because if by the end of Hajimari we had 70% done or something like that and suddenly we're 90% done with Kai, it feels they want to finish this series way too soon, if that's the case expect the story to be as meh as possible for now on xD

The Kiseki series helped me a lot at one time in my life.
After Reverie and Kuro 2, I thought the series didn't know where it wanted to go, Kuro 2 wasn't really good. I found that there was a drop in quality from Sen after Ao no Kiseki, and that the Calvard arc was quite boring, it was unclear where they wanted to go.
But Kai changed everything.
The route system was good, the Kevin route is amazing, the Rean route is pretty useless but the fan service is good. the game answers a lot of questions from the beginning of the series and creates new ones.
And the final has arrived.
Who hoped for a final like this?

insane call tbh. a few of us were leaning towards vocalisa originally, but rhodope seems to be the right library
it is rhodope hahaha
Loved the game, started a bit slow and took a while but the ending was a nice payoff with so many things going on. Great OST compared to Crimson Sin II
ニーアっぽさがあるw
😭😭😭😭
I'm sure this is a CS3/4 Unisuga leftover. But definitely still a fresh song. The orchestral sound is top notch in this one! The percussion's similar to Phantasmal Blaze, though he used Action Strikes in this one. The mixing on the percussion sounds a bit unfinished, but oh well. Beggars can't be choosers.
I'm curious what's the deal with the choir, did Unisuga put that in or Sonoda. If Unisuga, could be placeholder for Jindo choir like Azure Arbitrator, basically a way of saying insert lyrics here. If Sonoda, he might try to make it more epic. And I've heard him mashing random Latin syllables together before (Malicious Fiend), this might be right up his alley.
What does cs3/cs4 leftover even mean at this point. Those were some of the last games that he fully composed for 💀
@@GuyNumbers People said there are unused or rejected songs he composed for CS3/CS4 and then used or remixed on Calvard Arc games (Kuro and Kai). He is still credited on the song pretending he is freelancer song composer or something.
@@veeshadow Hehe. Sounds about right. Sad he can't throw us a bone once in a blue moon. I wonder, if he threw in something in the next game with completely different VSTs, will we recognize it's him?
@@GuyNumbers Well, he still did Ys X and Reverie, and he changed a few VSTs which do sound diffrent. Like switching out his Yamaha Motif ES piano (which Koguchi still stick to for some reason) to Addictive Keys and Prominy V-Metal to Heavier7Strings for electric guitars. So there's substantial factors in his sound that marks his eras. (Pretty sure he used Friedlander Violin here, he swapped out to Joshua Bell by Reverie.)
Hell you could also tell which of his songs' are older than Ys VIII by watching our for Yamaha Motif orchestral instruments. And you can tell if it's even older than Azure if the guitars, bass, and drums sound like their from the Motif, and not his high quality libraries.
Which makes me wonder, is someone going to try to use his older leftovers in the future? I'd laugh my ass off if they put anyone's 2000's era leftover next game, especially if it features a cheesy Roland preset.
@@marcelpradipta7444 he was using both joshua bell and friedlander at the same time. desert after tears/like a whirlwind/aprilis use friedlander, while new life/end of saga use joshua bell. i'm not sure how much of the motif es he actually used past like, 2010... he was already using garritan stradivari violin and prominy LPC from the beginning in the mid 2000s.
It gave me a feeling of the Japanese version of "The Amazing Race" theme song.
Feels like a mix of FF13 and Nier tracks.
Imagine if this song gets a super arrange version with a real choir...
"Composed by Mitsuo Singa 💀💀💀💀"
@@SenseiMasterShikikan-sama Never
Btw, would it be fascinating or inappropriate had this music been released in 2017?
@@jamessparrow7569 it would be great that if it's used rather than reusing "One-Way to the Netherworld" but this particular composition is in context and aged like wine 🧎
@@SenseiMasterShikikan-sama Wine couldn't even contain the music itself, for me. It's way more valuable than wine. Btw, I don't drink wine, so I may not know how it feels to compare music with wine. Haha
CS3 did not provide music for the last battle.
It is very likely that this music is a legacy that was originally supposed to be used in CS3.
I love it but, to be honest this is more suitated for dungeon don't you think it literally has leitmof of end of saga from sen 4 minus the orchestra.
Yeah, probably an unused track from Sen III/IV. Still better than the vast majority of this game's OST. I cried so hard.
Unused track from Sen3 it seems. For some reason this banger was scrapped and they only decided to add it now.
I THINK I KNOW the reason it was chosen, I didn't see a lot of spoilers, but if the final Boss is the person I think it is, this song actually fits. It's a desperate song, about someone or something who's slowly being corrupted and desperately wanting to be free but bound by the shackles of a curse they can't get rid of alone.
Frankly it fits the Divine Beast corrupted in CS3 so well, it's a wonder why it was scrapped. But it also fits the final boss of Kai if it's who I think it is.
@@advmx3Falcom has a lot of scrapped songs and it’s very rare that like 5 managed to come out from that jail and be put in later trails games or other falcom series
Where is the motif, I don't hear a single one :(
@@kentstopme Just shows how goated he is

..............................
???????????????????????????????
AIN'T NO FUCKING WAY. I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS WHAT THE FUCK
I think this is the first time I shed tears listening to music since playing Zwei 2 last year
and what do you know it's the same guy making me cry. definitely sounds like a leftover though
(also semi-relatedly - Sonoda final boss with a motif again when??)
Even if this isn't as finished or interesting compared to what he can do nowadays (and many of his other orchestral songs historically in general)
Just hearing his beautiful signature violin again.. just hearing his percussion again.. just hearing his knack for fast-paced orchestral music again... just hearing his punctual, purposeful, emotive transitions again..
Still my favourite composer and creative mind for anything in general - ever since I got into Trails, Ys and Falcom in 2021.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, I CAN'T STOP CRYING.
If he ever makes music again pray he gets per-track credits and the recognition he deserves 🥲. Wish the best for him as usual.
This gives me nier vibes
Btw, how do you guys get to know whether this song is a reject or not in the first place?
Well, we know Unisuga doesn't do new music for Falcom anymore so it's pretty easy to conclude that anything you hear from him post Reverie has to be a previously rejected track. You just have to be able to recognize that this is Unisuga's work, which isn't too difficult if you're familiar with his style. It's also reminiscent of One-Way to the Netherworld from CS3 and quality wise it's definitely so it's easy to place the origin of Kai's final boss theme in that period. We also have a rough idea of how many unused tracks could potentially be gathering dust in Falcom's proverbial closets thanks to leaks of their internal archival system for tracks their composers produced. That's getting into the weeds though.
Because it doesnt make sense for unisuga to compose only 1 music while 40% goes to bingus, hes not composing music for falcom anymore, i wish im wrong but nothing new come from him since reverie
@@sazhenmari A low input doesn’t mean that this isn’t new. It just means that it isn’t his main job. I think he composes 1-2 tracks per year for fun while doing his sysadmin job.
@@sazhenmari there is precedent for him doing so. he only composed 2 actual songs during Ys SEVEN (2/4 were leftovers). I think more likely this is a leftover just based on the general instrumentation and composition, though.
@@YourVinished That makes this music more precious, given that he might have used more time to compose for a dramatic climax IMO. It makes me wonder what it would take to work as a music composer in the real world.
雖然最後Staff的確有看到宇仁菅的名字，但當初還真沒意識到這可能是他的曲子🤣。只可惜艾蜜莉亞這場基本上沒難度

What in the NieR Automata is this
I don't hate also I don't like it too because it doesn't sound like Trails music ,it more like Final Fantasy or NieR music to me .
the violin is very much trails music
the choir effects are very reminiscent of something like Bipolar Nightmare from Automata, but the attention to detail is more characteristic of the orchestral boss music from Cold Steel.
(me taking the Try Not to Reference the Composer challenge)
far better than nier and ff for my own opinion😂😂
@@theo-y5s8j I agree. Nier has some good music, and the choir does remind you a bit of it, but this is far better than most music there. I won't lie.
I hope unisuga never comes back
Keep yourself safe lil bro
I guess you mean yourself to this vid? If that the case then yeah.
That Singa motif makes Singa king
Good music but for the worst plot entire series .I thought CS4 bad but can't even hold the candle with this one
suuure buddy
Haven't even played Kuro 2, but I will say this: IT seems they want to finish the series ASAP, because if by the end of Hajimari we had 70% done or something like that and suddenly we're 90% done with Kai, it feels they want to finish this series way too soon, if that's the case expect the story to be as meh as possible for now on xD
@@advmx3 nope, Kondo lied like always, np way is this series 90% done when we still have Kai 2 and more games.
@@advmx3 surely you don't play the game yet so I don't want to spoil more but it reverse what you said here ,they don't want to end this series .
@@kentstopmeno later he just changed to maybe 80~85% please update your information

Maybe you describe yourself rather than the music.
