Everybody's talking about how epic the music when played on Rean vs Crow or other battles, but the time in CSII when Lloyd & Rixia confront Rean & Altina on the geofront is great too!!! The moment when the music started, followed by Rean threatening both heroes to back down, then Lloyd and Rixia answered by activating their combat link which shocked both Rean and Altina. One fight that seems to be one-sided now become equal... and then, battle man, you gotta admit that scene is epic as f
@@BagelEagle37 I wouldn't say Lloyd stands no chance. Spoiler alert for trails to Azure: Lloyd beats Arios, a divine blade in a fight, and the SSS have been shown nearly beat the steel maiden near the end of Azure. Lloyd has a ton of feats under his belt too.
Unisuga's best song, no contest. Everything is exquisite and refined to an exceptional degree. From the composition, arrangement, usage in-game, and its impactfulness, I consider this to be one of the very, _VERY_ few songs that has absolutely no flaws. Impeccable work.
butler3251 exactly lol. I know some people say this is specifically Crow’s theme which I can understand why they say that but I believe it’s really Rean and Crow’s theme.
The part around 2:00 hitting while you're carrying the princess out, dodging every attack coming your way. Ah. It perfectly captures that feeling of "finally moving forward after being stuck for so long." *chef's kiss*
Crow is probably my favorite “traitor” character of all time. He’s not brainwashed or looking to take over the world he just wanted to avenge the person he looked up to. Even then he still looks after Rean despite being on separate sides, such an awesome character.
Yeah, I feel like persona 5 crow's just got robbie especially in the third semester as his voice actor and crazed personality, but overall, I think I lean more on this crow being better
@@names-are-for-friends SPOILER ALERT In 3 he wasn't himself( he was a different person altogether) and in 4 hes helping out Rean saving the world not to mention that hes already dead so he might as well do it hes got nothing to lose anymore.
@@pauloandrade925 SPOILER ALERT: In Cold Steel 2 and 4, Crow was just looking for a place to die - something he was called out on by Rean and Stark. First at the infernal castle, then at the Rivalry.
Amazing... Wonderful... So perfect in every way... I don't know what to comment. All the emotion packed into this gem of a track is easily seen. It's a remix of the most emotional song from the last game, made into what is in my eyes the crowned jewel of the first two games. I cannot believe how out-of-the-park Falcom hit this one. It sounds so perfect, conveys what it needs to perfectly, and is used so perfectly in every instance. I am so so so in awe and emotion... Falcom × (Piano + Violin + Synthesizer) = WHOA...
I love when you let the battle screen sit and it rotates around the character waiting for you to make your next move. This theme was great to just sit for a few minutes and listen to, just like that :)
For sure, its a great combo, rotating battles and the a lot of the great themes. I also like to time my S-Breaks during my favorite parts of the song lol.
Last I checked the most popular video on this channel, it was Ys8's Sunshine Coastline. Now it's Blue Destination. Trails series has come a long way but still got more to breakthrough
Crow and rean charging each other on the pantagruel during the first intermission with the music in sync(for me atleast lol) as it kicks off was such a bad ass use of music and getting me in the mood lol
Or maybe he's just named Crow because of the animal (Student-Crow's S-Craft is named Cross Raven after all) "The crow is a totem animal associated with the mysteries of life and magic. The power of this totem bird is to provide the perspective and the means to support your goals and aspirations. A sign of luck, it is also associated with the archetype of the crook and deception" Mysteries? Someone that has a goal and do everything to attain it? A Crook? Seems like our good ol' Crow to me But that would be a really subtle reference if they tought about that too, more subtle than a certain friend of Crow... --'
Not even gonna lie, I legit cried my eyes out, when Crow was killed in 2. It brought all those memories, when this played in the battle against Siegfried in 3
I discovered this game in 2018, but one of my best friends discovered it this past couple of weeks. Today, I spent 10 and a half hours in a VC with him as he went all the way from the Imperial Villa to the very end of the game. We had lunch and dinner together (I had buffalo wings for the former and assorted junk foods for the latter), discussed topic after topic, and just took the last arc of this incredible game in. We felt every emotion in existence; we smiled, laughed, cried, got angry, irritated, were confused and befuddled, pensive, and exhausted. It was amazing, it was trying, and it was fun as hell. It’s going to make an indelible and precious memory. This song seems like the most fitting place to put it. What a game, what a day, what a friend.
goggles789 Well, it depends on which game you’re talking about and what you look for in a game. For the Trails games, I find the world building to be incredible with the layers it creates over the course of the games. I’ll be the first to say to story of each individual game is nothing you’ve not seen before, but the games have established an interesting world in which these things happen. Trails, at least in my view, has always had an incredibly engaging minutiae underneath the big, overstated plot lines so many of these games have. The games use a cohesive idea of how society works in this world they’ve created to inform how these plots play out and the ramifications of world-news tier events (like the Orbal Shutdown Phenomenon in Sky SC or the coup d'état of the Erebonian chancellor against the royal family/nobility in this game). As you peel back the layers of the countries, organizations like the Septian Church, Bracer Guild, or Jaegers, and the kind of issues that even the common people are thinking about as events unfold (every NPC has something new to say at every story beat, no matter how silly or inconsequential), you really get a sense of how this world operates. It makes sense, it’s cohesive, and the way major, RPG-typical events are handled socially and diplomatically is consistent. The world has developed from the Dark Ages to basic-computers-and-cell-phones era tech in the span of 50 years, and that’s causing social chaos, with old aristocracies of large kingdoms and empires now having small nation-states and wealthy civilian enterprises that could seriously threaten them if they wanted to. There are things that happen far back in the lore which have no bearing on current events, but they’re there because it informs something about the world and how organizations relate to each other and how the social and political climate has shifted over time. Okay, I need to stop myself, because this is turning into a video script. To consolidate all that, the world these games take place in is an interesting one, and that makes what would usually be stock plots more engaging when they happen there. And I actually find the gameplay to be quite fun; the first Sky has rough edges to be sure, but it improves quickly from there and gets to being quite enjoyable for me.
@@WalkerSunriseChannel It was around the second half of Sora no Kiseki FC that I slowly got hooked into the Kiseki series.

Ima wa Muri Nano Please, please don't spoil anything, especially anything that happens later in the story than where this song is heard? Something like that is bound to worsen it for many people. :-)
“Okay, we’ve talked long enough. Let’s go. I won’t let _anyone_ interfere! This is going to be our *final battle!* “ “That’s _exactly_ how I want it to be! We’ll fight until we can fight no more… until our strength runs dry and our *SOULS BURN OUT!* “
I know nothing about this series but at the very moment I heard this OST I was drawn to it. I'll probably play it in the future solely for this soundtrack. I'd still be expecting good gameplay though.
Replayed CS2 recently and god damn is Arcane Gale so busted. Say you have a level 5 Force master quartz on him and you 1-shot 5 enemies with the first strike of Arcane Gale, that's 100 CP restored. But Arcane Gales second strike *counts as killing each enemy a second time* so you get ANOTHER 100 CP. Rean bean the lean craft machine.
@@isekaimaster224 In CS2 and 3, Arcane Gale surpasses every craft that Rean has in Spirit Unificiation and almost every enemy can be one shoted by this craft
I fully agree. That felt amazing! :D I love how the beginning sounds like The Decisive Collision, except with a feeling of hope and triumph rather than "oh man, why are we doing this?" like in the original. It's so good.
Yeah, totally agree. For once, being able to stand toe-to-toe and overwhelm Ouroboros was very, very nice. The scene afterwards was just gratuitous awesomeness for me.
And just shows how OP Rean will be once he masters his power AND the Eight Leaves swordsmanship. I have to smirk when people keep playing the argument that Laura can win against Rean when the game itself even shows an event where Rean actually fights an all-out Sara and fights her to a draw, WITHOUT his Ogre power. To say nothing of the fact he toyed with the heroes of the Crossbell arc.
***** Rean tends to hold himself back. He could have overwhelmed Duvalie and driven back PhantomThief B, to say nothing of Xeno, Leonidas and ALtina. The only one who could have stopped him on that ship was McBurn.. And the Finale is not exactly the best way of determining Rean's ability to beat them, especially since every single time they were saved because they had an important battle that they couldn't take on a half-tank,not because it was impossible for them to win (Mcburn fight excluded), so it's more like Rean (and Sara) never went-full power until his fight with Vita and Crow, who he defeated handily. Let's point out Sara wasn't doing so hot either and she's supposed to be the best Bracer in Erebonia.
Being honest, this song is perfect for a traitor theme, whatever is you or the enemy "Sorry, we've got orders" Or "I tought we could talk... But it seems you did not apreciated any of our conversations... Right? (Pulls a gun) Not a single one of them..."
Josh Li I disagree. Eventhough FC had it's plot finished, it opened things for SC whereas Sen1 just cut the plot so that they could do better in Sen2. Honestly I just wanted to finish there so that we get hyped for sen3
There's a big difference in tone, but when you think about it, the first arc was really two games plus an extra third game. The trails of cold steel arc is 4 games, so in reality only at the end of CS II would it be equivalent to the end of FC.
Thank you Unisuga for your hard work through out Sky to Cold Steel, know that the fine work you've did will never be forgotten, godspeed you damn king.
@@JRPGforlife Yeah, unfortunately so. He went on to his future endeavors by himself, such a loss for Falcom man, this guy was one of the best composers at Falcom, imo the Shoji Meguro of Falcom, made some of the most iconic songs in many series's, well, farewell, Unisuga, and thanks for everything.
I’ll be honest Tokyo Xanadu was the game that got me into this series. It wasn’t even for reasons like story, I just loved the soundtrack, all of them which lead me to spend 200 hours on the game.
Thanks for reminding me I've to keep playing it lol. I've too many games to play... and yet I spend my free time watching my gf go through Trails for the first time lol
You guys are geniuses, up there right with Uematsu Nobuo. I've had a playlist of Trails of cold steel music playing for the past 6 weeks or so, And I still find it to be absolutely amazing. Trails of cold steel has amazing characters, story, gameplay and sidequests. But for me, It's really the Music that ties it all together. I will never get tired of theses songs.
I agree 100%. JRPGs for me are all about the music. Yes, they can have amazing characters but the music is what makes every moment 10 times better and turns em into powerful memories that last forever. I still remember almost everything that happened in these games and I've terrible memory usually lol. I listen to the soundtracks daily so maybe that's what helps me. But either way, Trails is goated
I heard this song on my old LG phone as a ringtone. So I thought I chked this out to see what it was. This song is actually good including the story!!!!!! I’m impressed!!!!!!! :)

今まで相手が格上だと勝てるかわからない感じだったリィンが、お前らなんか余裕みたいな感じでアルフィンを安心させるの良いよね。
終わってしまうことの寂しさを
ゲーム中で体現してみせたＢＧＭは
ファルコム作品でもなかなか無いんじゃないかな。
他2曲(The Dicisive Collision等)とセットで、閃のメインテーマだと思う(´・ω・`)
I wasn't ready to hear this in Cold Steel 3, but I had the biggest smile on my face
Oméga Laix please add spoiler alert next time...
@@RussianZombie98 i'm afraid its on you to avoid spoilers.
May i suggest you don't go near anything tangentially related to the thing you wish to avoid spoilers for,instead of expecting people to do it for you.
@@MrXMysteriousX tcos 3 english wasnt even 2 months old come on now.. who expects to be spoiled in tcos 2 vids? omega laix can go fuck himself tho
@@Death91ist SPOILER ALERT FOR CS2:
To be fair, this doesn't always play when you fight Crow, it also plays when Rean and Altina fight Llyod and Rixia in CS2.
@@RussianZombie98 spoilers for what, Azure Siegfried who was literally named and shown in all promotional info for this game? AZURE Siegfried lmao, whose identity is as mysterious as Baron bleublanc.
I can never get enough of listening to this ost tbh it's so catchy 👍
There are some things that can only be said with a clash of blades....
...even if you are using guns.
Interesting...
falcom company never disappointed me with their great music
then bees came
You never fail Falcom :)
Laxxus 07 they fail, we must waiting 20 years for Western release and normal language
Recent OST are not as good as old ones. But yeah some of recent ones are still good enough.
If they did, they would be called Failcom.
bro if they play this in the northern war anime im going to lose it
Teehee
@@ihatemilo i am deeply disappointed
Eight Leaves, One Blade School, intermediate level... I, Rean Schwarzer, will be your opponent!
Eight leaves, One Blade School is prone to lose wife....
he large probably will also lose his loved one. causing him to be the final enemy in the whole trails series. seeing his growth and powerlevel right now, its not a joke anymore.especially after the recent event.
You mean....crow?
Rean of course. Right now he is just so powerful especially after he gained full McBurn form.
Ima wa Muri Nano Please, please don't spoil anything, especially anything that happens later in the story than where this song is heard? Something like that is bound to worsen it for many people. :-)
I was here before it got a million views. Pretty sure to have contributed to at least 1 000 of them.
basically: Rean Vs Crow theme
Easily one of the top themes of the whole series
2:47 and everything after makes me emotional 😢
Bangers!!!That ost showing how emotions work in the end of the way.
“Okay, we’ve talked long enough. Let’s go. I won’t let _anyone_ interfere! This is going to be our *final battle!* “
“That’s _exactly_ how I want it to be! We’ll fight until we can fight no more… until our strength runs dry and our *SOULS BURN OUT!* “
It was so corny that everyone tease him for saying that haha
@@nogisonoko5409 It was corny by japanese usual cringe standards which says something haha
They’re so gay I love it lmao
I know nothing about this series but at the very moment I heard this OST I was drawn to it. I'll probably play it in the future solely for this soundtrack. I'd still be expecting good gameplay though.
It's excellent you Will enjoy It.
This deserves more than 1.5M views , should be more !
Another one of those osts that just lives rent free in my head
“There’s something all of us are sure about. But it’d be pointless to say it to you. Isn’t that right?”
“Yeah, i have no past.”
2:47 melts my heart
Crazy how this is the most-viewed Falcom-related English video on TH-cam! Waiting for it to reach 3M!
Me: "Gale is the perfect sword technique, it cannot possibly be improved"
Rean Schwarzer after Spirit Unification: "Arcane Gale!"
Replayed CS2 recently and god damn is Arcane Gale so busted. Say you have a level 5 Force master quartz on him and you 1-shot 5 enemies with the first strike of Arcane Gale, that's 100 CP restored. But Arcane Gales second strike *counts as killing each enemy a second time* so you get ANOTHER 100 CP. Rean bean the lean craft machine.
Gale in CS3, with brave and monolith, both true gladiators acc and SU made Rean strong as hell
More like
Rean Schwarzer after someone hurts Elise: "Arcane gale!" (Yes, I was referring to the side quest)
"What is Arcane Gale?", Fatal Helix is far more superior
@@isekaimaster224 In CS2 and 3, Arcane Gale surpasses every craft that Rean has in Spirit Unificiation and almost every enemy can be one shoted by this craft
and old wound opened up again, thank you cold steel 3
I got a fresh gash when I got to the ending of CS3. I was speechless.
@@paleface171 When Crow regained his memories, or Rean being engulfed by the Great Twilight?
@@fierytigergaming8112 (SPOILERS)
The latter and when the Courageous was blown up.
Finished Cold Steel 2 battle between Rean and Crow theme just hit different one of my personal favorite. 💓💞💓
閃の軌跡IIで初めてこの曲を聴いて以来、何年でも何回でも聴いてる曲の一つです。
2010年にファルコムさんのゲームに出会い、イースはフェルガナの誓いから空の軌跡はFCからPSPからもう買い続けてます！
それ位個人的にはファンのメーカーです。
The scene where this first plays...
After being shown up by the baddies for so long...
*Feels good to be the OP one for once*
I fully agree. That felt amazing! :D
I love how the beginning sounds like The Decisive Collision, except with a feeling of hope and triumph rather than "oh man, why are we doing this?" like in the original. It's so good.
Please stand back, Your Highness...
Yeah, totally agree. For once, being able to stand toe-to-toe and overwhelm Ouroboros was very, very nice. The scene afterwards was just gratuitous awesomeness for me.
And just shows how OP Rean will be once he masters his power AND the Eight Leaves swordsmanship. I have to smirk when people keep playing the argument that Laura can win against Rean when the game itself even shows an event where Rean actually fights an all-out Sara and fights her to a draw, WITHOUT his Ogre power. To say nothing of the fact he toyed with the heroes of the Crossbell arc.
***** Rean tends to hold himself back. He could have overwhelmed Duvalie and driven back PhantomThief B, to say nothing of Xeno, Leonidas and ALtina. The only one who could have stopped him on that ship was McBurn.. And the Finale is not exactly the best way of determining Rean's ability to beat them, especially since every single time they were saved because they had an important battle that they couldn't take on a half-tank,not because it was impossible for them to win (Mcburn fight excluded), so it's more like Rean (and Sara) never went-full power until his fight with Vita and Crow, who he defeated handily. Let's point out Sara wasn't doing so hot either and she's supposed to be the best Bracer in Erebonia.
Being honest, this song is perfect for a traitor theme, whatever is you or the enemy
"Sorry, we've got orders"
Or
"I tought we could talk... But it seems you did not apreciated any of our conversations... Right? (Pulls a gun) Not a single one of them..."
this is theyre theme Crow and Rean they have a beautiful bond between them love it so much and with this OST makes it more better
Enemies became true friends and true rivals
Dat Lloyd & Rixia Fight though.
And damn talk about brutal.
Blue Destination...kinda fit that its with Ao no Kiseki (Trails of Blue) mc too.
Josh Li I disagree. Eventhough FC had it's plot finished, it opened things for SC whereas Sen1 just cut the plot so that they could do better in Sen2. Honestly I just wanted to finish there so that we get hyped for sen3
There's a big difference in tone, but when you think about it, the first arc was really two games plus an extra third game. The trails of cold steel arc is 4 games, so in reality only at the end of CS II would it be equivalent to the end of FC.
dansegful Idk if I’d say FC’s plot was finished considering the gigantic cliffhanger at the end lmao
Stoked for Sen no Kiseki 4 >:D
Crow is technically Leonhardt in ToCS, but more chill, like to joke and seemingly more easygoing dude
This Song Gives Me Hope For The Future!!
2 million views. huge
congratulations for you're 1million views!!
The road alongside the trail into Azure, headed to the same Blue Destination.
Thank you Unisuga for your hard work through out Sky to Cold Steel, know that the fine work you've did will never be forgotten, godspeed you damn king.
What happened did he leave Falcom?
@@JRPGforlife Unfortunately, yes.
@@McCaroni_Sup Wow really? Do you know the reason why?
@@JRPGforlife No I do not. Though I do have my theories as to the likely reason.
@@JRPGforlife Yeah, unfortunately so. He went on to his future endeavors by himself, such a loss for Falcom man, this guy was one of the best composers at Falcom, imo the Shoji Meguro of Falcom, made some of the most iconic songs in many series's, well, farewell, Unisuga, and thanks for everything.
You finally have the power! Now make your dreams come true!!!
I’ll be honest Tokyo Xanadu was the game that got me into this series. It wasn’t even for reasons like story, I just loved the soundtrack, all of them which lead me to spend 200 hours on the game.
Damn I love TX, but I didn't believe people started with it. Good on you OP.
Thanks for reminding me I've to keep playing it lol. I've too many games to play... and yet I spend my free time watching my gf go through Trails for the first time lol
"Today's the day that mask of yours finally comes off! What's with this 'Siegfried' crap? Do you think it sounds cool? Well, Crow!?"
文句なしの神BGM！！
イントロで涙腺崩壊する曲
You guys are geniuses, up there right with Uematsu Nobuo. I've had a playlist of Trails of cold steel music playing for the past 6 weeks or so, And I still find it to be absolutely amazing. Trails of cold steel has amazing characters, story, gameplay and sidequests. But for me, It's really the Music that ties it all together. I will never get tired of theses songs.
Almost 3 years and still listen to their song almost everyday
Thanks to Unigoated
I agree 100%. JRPGs for me are all about the music. Yes, they can have amazing characters but the music is what makes every moment 10 times better and turns em into powerful memories that last forever. I still remember almost everything that happened in these games and I've terrible memory usually lol. I listen to the soundtracks daily so maybe that's what helps me. But either way, Trails is goated
ive been hearing this song for a while and i want to get into the series just because of it 😂
Sky time.
1편 막바지에서 브금은 너무 가슴이 미어지기만 했다면 뭔가 이 브금은 서로 칼을 겨눠야하는 이 상황이 슬프긴하지만 하염없이 ㅇㅅㄲ같았던 주인공의 멘탈이 성장해 해야만 하는 싸움의 비장미가 느껴짐
あぁ＾〜いいっすね〜
Perfectly encapsulates "so close yet so far away".
I heard this song on my old LG phone as a ringtone. So I thought I chked this out to see what it was. This song is actually good including the story!!!!!! I’m impressed!!!!!!! :)
Song that never gets old:
궤적 시리즈 통틀어서 이 곡이 최고. 곡의 서사까지 알고 듣는다면 전율 그자체.
Falcom really has some of the best game music
Have you heard “the night goes on” for Kuro no Kiseki? 😩So good when the saxophone comes in. And “rise of the Grendel.”
