Another JRPG: "let's go beat the final boss and save the world" Trails of Cold Steel: "let's go save the school festival so we can perform our band in front of our parents and beat the final boss before 00.00 AM"
I like how it took them until CS4 to do a save the world plot. Before then it was mostly "oh shit, this supernatural phenomenon is gonna fuck up our economy/political situation, better stop it" Even CS4 is literally just "we have to stop the bad guy who wants to end the world because if we don't Zemurian WW1 will happen."
Steel golems, actually. But yeah, this dungeon really went hard with its enemies. To say nothing of some of the enemies in the third part of the dungeon. More headless knights and cryptids all over the place...
I'm not even to this dungeon, yet I can't stop listening to this. I hope the final dungeon itself is epic as well. UPDATE: Can confirm, final dungeon is epic as well.
I've never heard that one before, looked it up and I like it a lot, too. Falcom truly never disappoints in dungeon themes, especially late game ones. Waiting for Cold Steel 2 to release on PC so I can play it haha, never had a PS3 or VITA, so I haven't had a chance to play it til now. Btw, on note of the music, I think Phantasmal Blaze might have been the very first Cold Steel arc music that I ever heard, back when I was not familiar with the series at all. I forget when or where I first heard it...may have been in a fan game or some random video.
Iido's Gaming Den I was able to experience this game through Vita, thankfully. I got into a lot of Falcom stuff through PSP, since a hefty amount of their games are on that handheld! The Place Where Souls Gather from Ys Seven is also a pretty amazing dungeon theme. I think Ys Seven is probably one of the best in the series, next to Ys 6. Haven't gotten to play 8 yet.
The part where it changes from 4/4 into 3/4, and then does a chromatic key change? God, yes. It was so unexpected the first time, I literally stopped in my tracks and just listened until it was over.
Been two months since I finished ToCS 1, and about 3 weeks since completed ToCS 2, both for the first time. I'm still humming/whistling, and listening to the OSTs all this time on. I have never, ever, in my near 36 years of life heard such an awesome game soundtrack. Such a beautiful and interesting use of violin against the rock guitar.
I like all of the Trails franchise OST, but this one and Great Power resound so much in me. Maybe because it's the beginning of a growing journey for the Class Vll, where they'll become strong enough to not be looked down on and go toe to toe with some of the most powerful individuals in the series. I grew up with the Trails series, but Class Vll feels much more personal because I felt I'm having the same journey as them. My favorite franchise of all time. If you happen to stop upon this comment and OST by pure coincidence, take my advice and play this awesome series. Cheers.
Totally agree with this. The first two entries in the Cold Steel series were my gateway into Falcom games as a whole, and while there are still a few flaws with the Erebonia arc, I still consider it to be a journey worth experiencing. It's pretty telling that, upon finally reaching a certain moment in the Fragments chapter of Cold Steel 4 after *years* of wanting to finally see the journey through to the very end, I genuinely burst into tears upon seeing all of Rean's friends come to his aid when he truly needed it most. That whole 'power of friendship' may be one of the most cliché things in existence, but as Vita said way back in the first game, clichés are clichés for a _damn_ good reason.
This song is perfect. It's as though all of the time, hard work, and experiences you've had with all the characters and the world they live in have led to this very moment. You've come so far. Emotions are running high, your heart is beating fast, but you're more determined then ever. This is it. This is the final dungeon. Class VII, all of you, let's do this!
This final dungeon was really fun but man those dragons really were nasty at first.....and the big ass golems had me shook at first too haha the music just inspired me to push on however.
I really felt it when this thing started playing. I knew this was it. The 'electronic metal' fusion is so cool. Only the Falcom music team can create stuff like this.
The one and only time I could really enjoy using Crow in my party to it's fullest. He's so badass and never let me down when something need to get thrashed!
I love Crow. I was with everyone in Class VII with wanting to bring him back. Not sure how that'd go with him being you know who and all that, but I wanted it to happen.
Reminder that Crow managed to fend off Rean, Laura and Fie 3 on 1. So him passing the test with only a bit of help from Vita would be hardly an stretch. Based on Fie's evaluation of his abilities, he's almost as good as Sara.
I usually attribute this piece of music to Emma, starting out as a sub par mage at the beginning of the game to absolutely wrecking enemies at the end of it
Absolutamente increíble la banda sonora de estos juegos, poderosa, enérgica, emotiva, delicada cuando toca. Un 10 , solo los mejores FF y Persona 4/5 están a este nivel.

Is it just me or is this track a remix of one of the tracks from ao? The scene at the start of the final chapter where the merkabahs are flying towards the barrier
no, the ost that plays when merkabah flies towards the barrier (tree) is "a light illuminating the depths - super arranged". Even though the instrument-choice of this ost and the one that you mentioned are similar, the melody and composers are different.
Did you ever notice how the words "trials" and "trails" are spelled with the same letters only differing with the positioning on the letters i & a??? So if you swapped the letters in Trails of Cold Steel, it would say Trials of Cold Steel!
I wished he had a spinoff (same for gaius). They have these cool backstories (becoming a dominion in gaius's case) yet we don't get to actually see it on camera.
Too bad but Alisa IS the main ship. Only reason Emma is forced as part of the final dungeon of the first game is because that was her Job. She was supposed to lead Rean to Valimar (she did a piss poor job at it though). Emma has her own storyline independent of Rean afterwards (it all revolves around her relationship to Vita and her clan).
Wow. I'll be honest, I've seen this game on a stream and it looked pretty generic and bland... but damn the soundtrack is absolutely amazing. Gives me Valkyrie Profile's vibes at times. It's like progressive video game music.
This game is definitely nowhere near generic in fact it's one of the GREATEST jrpg series out there, I HIGHLY recommend you play it. The game is just as amazing as the music. This is coming from someone who got into the series last year
That's what I thought before I start..then I play the first one and instantly become one of the fans..top tier JRPG story , characters ,and worldbuilding.. The generic appearances did not even bother me after two or chapters , the character was well-fleshed..not of that one sided stereotype apply here
the characters and story can be a bit generic but the world building and the way the characters plot intertwine is actually world class among both jrpgs and wrpgs.
That's what one would think. When you look at the Trails series display pictures you're like, oh more generic anime games. Then you actually play them and the combat is super fun and music super memorable. And at the end of each game you're just shocked by the cliffhangers so you need to play the next lol
Well, offensive art is hard to get worth by, especially when you can get 2-3 attacks by the time the caster shot one arts. Also they cant unbalance, physical damage can.
Just reached one of the final major dungeons in cold steel 3 and it made me return to this simply to admire how vastly superior it was to what 3 is doing with music. This theme destroys the music from 3 in epicness as well as the fact that it plays through battles. If anything, the battle theme in 3s dungeon is better than the dungeon theme and should have played throughout the whole thing. I still think this is one of the best final dungeon themes in jrpg history.
Based on what you said that the dungeon theme and battle theme are different, I think I know which dungeon theme you're referring to and if I'm correct, yeah I can agree with you.
@@sandwich0903 the penultimate dungeon. The final dungeon did handle music the way I like, but it was definitely nowhere near as epic as Cold Steel 1. Thank god the plot was as insane if not more so than the first games ending, that's saved it for me lol.
Yeah, a trial for Rean to become one of the key figures in the story of Cold Steel, that was conquered before by another key figure, and whose boss is the shadow of another key figure in the story, means absolutely nothing in the story. That checks out.
I'll be honest: I was legit disappointed this served as both the dungeon and battle theme for this place, I was expecting something like what they did in FC and SC where they took a boss theme and turned it into the new normal battle theme. Oh well, it's a pretty good track nonetheless, I just feel like it doesn't work as a battle theme.
haha super opposite for me. especially enjoyed how the tempo and sense of urgency were never interrupted by transitions into different tracks or anything throughout the dungeon
FWIW I prefer Hollow Light of the Sealed Land, but this kind of uninterrupted final dungeon theme works great too. It's just a bit too similar to other Jindo trance-rock tracks though (like Ancient Land from Memories in Celceta).
For me, it's a little like "Don't Speak Her Name!" and "Id Purpose" In Fire Emblem Awakening. In Fire Emblem, having "Don't Speak Her Name!" carries the weight of what happened in the story. It's obviously a little different because of the events in the story, but the way the music is used feels the same. I believe in the second game in the epilogue in the final dungeon, the music is interrupted to a battle theme, and it's a different feeling than having the uninterrupted music.
Lol uninturrupted is better than inturrupted. This is coming from someone who has finished all trails games (Zero and Ao included with full dp) except for CS2
@@vojtis1731 I love the Crossbell games. That's kind of my point. Saving the school festival is a tad less interesting than literally anything to do with being magic cops, or the political situation with Crossbell.

You know you're in a final dungeon when there's huge dragons and stone golems as regular enemies.

Have you heard Cold Steel 2's?
Honestly, it's even better!
I have, yeah! I think both themes are great in their own way.
Certainly :)
Reverie Corridor is amazing as well even if I'm not a big fan of that dungeon's design or its placement in the story!

Haven't gotten to play 8 yet.
This is one of the best final dungeon themes in any jrpg, and the fact that it plays through battles intensifies the atmosphere.
Excuse me what
@@d343-y Yes, you're excused? For what I'm not sure.
i'm quite surprised when i enter this dungeon, the beat kicks in nicely

For many hundred years
This stage was always set

So now we dive into the depths of old
To meet our final test

But together, I know that there's nothing
We cannot overcome

And faced some mighty foes

But we still have far to go
Now let's take a stand
For our school and for our band
And then grasp a tomorrow for our land
We have felled a thousand beasts

Grasp a tomorrow for our land
VERSE 2 - 1:47

And into Reverie
The Ashen power calls
So now we must stand tall
Break through our own limits
And overcome the trials, one and all

I wonder how could Crow past the trial alone. Maybe Vita gave him a hand but not much.
Who says Ordine's trial was the same as Valimar's?
but that makes no sense though since it was literally stated that qrow did it alone with no one to back him up
I wished he had a spinoff (same for gaius). They have these cool backstories (becoming a dominion in gaius's case) yet we don't get to actually see it on camera.
巨イナル影ノ領域に相応しい名曲。
Haa... what would you do without Jindo ?
reminds me of F1 codemaster song
😍
The game won't let you remove the true heroine from the party in this dungeon. LOL.
Shes essentially as much of a main character as rean tbh, and why I think the game shouldn't push alisa and the main ship
As much of a main character as Rean? Emma got by far the least character development and focus of the starting 9 students in the first game.
Emma was more or less working in the background for most of the first game. Seems like she gets a lot of her development in the second game.
I agree completely, even though I did prefer Elliot and Alisa as my healers. Alisa being a CP Battery sure helps lol
Too bad but Alisa IS the main ship. Only reason Emma is forced as part of the final dungeon of the first game is because that was her Job. She was supposed to lead Rean to Valimar (she did a piss poor job at it though). Emma has her own storyline independent of Rean afterwards (it all revolves around her relationship to Vita and her clan).
Is it just me or the rock parts have Dynasty Warriors vibes in them?

just an update after finishing ALL trails games (incl CS4). My point still stands.
I'd much rather be dealing with the situation in Crossbell than trying to save the school festival. Shitty school-anime game...
Play the Crossbell games then
@@vojtis1731 I love the Crossbell games. That's kind of my point. Saving the school festival is a tad less interesting than literally anything to do with being magic cops, or the political situation with Crossbell.
Don't tell me you're doing the same to Persona series
@@Andreas32300 Never played Persona, but if they'd done the same shitty writing and worthless cardboard trope characters, I'd have the same criticism.
But hey, in the end they face the terrorist and noble faction. It's not just the school festival :( there is a reason why CS is a saga.
