Fun story, I was listening to Shantien’s theme medley one night while I was really tired. As I was dozing off and only half-conscious the phase 4 theme was playing and I swear my mind felt transcendent. Couldn’t agree more with the top pick!
My top 3 best themes in the entire franchise are: 1. Shantien 4th phase. This theme was made by God himself manifested in a human being. 2. Safi'jiiva especially final phase. It always left me speechless. 3. All-mother Narwa. This one hits different because of the monsters' lore and fits perfectly with that specific phase of the game.
I only ever played Tri at my friend's place but Ceadeus' 2nd phase has always been one of my top favourites despite never even seeing the thing in-game. I played most of the PSP titles, Tri just wasn't interesting to me because I couldn't play it with my brother. What always struck me about Ceadeus was that the theme doesn't even feel like a battle, it feels like more like they're singing praise. I always liked that idea. Like some ancient civilization is praying to their god that they may catch enough fish to live off of. It's far more beautiful than most other themes and it has a sense of wonder and awe that I always enjoyed. At the same time, there's subtle elements and moments that give you an eerie feeling, like something powerful is lurking beneath the waves. It's a nice combination of emotions that in my opinion displays the idea of this proto-religious sea god theme incredibly well.
@@HadiaVin This has nothing to do with stupidity. This theme tells a story by itself, it's just as epic as it is tragic, easily the best Monster Hunter theme.
As much as I absolutely ADORE the Amatsu theme (portable 3rd is my favorite game) the shantien's theme is just BEAUTIFUL. And getting zoinked and listening to this immersed me to a point where I felt like I was in the game itself and had the best trip of my life 💥💥
With the focus on the potential return of Amatsu and the Wind/Thunder serpent for Rise, and with Espinas confirming the revival of Frontier in the mainline series, Rise is THE PERFECT time for Shantien, the Heavenly Flying Dragon, to come back. He fits PERFECTLY thematically, more powerful than Amatsu and the Serpents, and we will be blessed with his unparalleled theme once again.
@@General_C exactly one sign is pointing towards amatsu and that’s the placement on the monster list being em58. Everything else we know kinda applies to both
Shantien really needs to be in the main Series. I remember when it released for frontier back in the day and heard it’s final theme for the first time. I was blown away by how good it was!
Capcom has a lot of issues that have earned it the nickname Crapcom, but one thing you must admit... When it comes to the music, they do not disappoint.
I mean, the entirety of the mega man series ost, the marvel vs capcom themes, okami, the mercenaries theme in re6. they really do good work with music.
Nono and kamu orugaron theme it's really good, but the black unknow wyvern it's the best. Because the black wyvern theme it's the representation of his fury
I feel you. I put Crimson Fatalis above it though for the same reason. The vocals in the first phase sound like they are begging him to stop through worship and appeasement (the quiet part with the vocals are beautiful, compliments of Emi Evans), and they fail bringing on the second phase of desperate pleas and cries for salvation against his demonic wrath. It's brilliantly done.
Not only is Shantien best theme music but it’s also the best LOOKING monster out there in my opinion. The look just screams “I’m majestic as fuck and you don’t want to mess with me”.
Wow, Frontier really does have some impressive monsters and themes. I'm not as familiar with the games outside of the mainline, or prior to 4U, so it's really neat. Shantiyen's got one hell of a theme, I'll give it that. Now that Rise/Sunbreak is over, I hope we get to see more of these guys return in future games! Maybe the next game will feature some...? Hard to say, if it is World style, but one can hope! World and Rise gave monsters like Alatreon, Fatalis, and Amatsu the level of spectacle and power they deserved; imagining some of their fellows in stunning HD would be really nice. A few themes I personally have come to enjoy that aren't here are Glavenus, Malzeno, Gore Magala, and Gaismagorm. Can't really argue with this list, though.
I honestly think that Dire Miralis theme's better than Caedus. It's one of those themes that just gives you goosebumps whenever you hear it. It'd be at the same level as Fatalis theme honestly
Shantien 4 is hands down the best, not only is the fight super active and the scenario perfect, you're basically fighting the ruler of the skies in the sky itself, last phase it's him showing you that he doesn't need to be in his territory to be utterly terrifying and the music it's just perfect for the ocassion, it's both a last stand theme and a final boss one bundled with an awesome fight of an incredible monster, if there is 1 monster from frontier that should be in mainline games it's Shantien.
Man, every time I thought ''But what about x, when will that show up?'' it was literally next up. I have a couple picks not on here, a couple tracks from World/Iceborne (Velkhana/Xeno/Safi), Duremudira, and giant enemy crab, but this list is definitely my jam. We have very similar tastes it seems!
Yeeeeeeaaaaaah Ma boi the ceadeus, that fight was fucking unique and the made me feel a weird feeling of nostalgia. Those extra vocals of the song when the fight ends and we see the end of the game is so good dood
I am usually not a fan of people who create "Top themes of [insert videogame here]" since it's very subjective which themes are good and which not. But I wholeheartedly agree with your list. I think a good honourable mention would be Duremudira's theme
Man whenever I fought shantiyen for the first time, that initial slow buildup of drums and the melody finally coming up, just felt AMAZING. Man if only MH made more themes this amazing. Unlike Narwa and Ibushi's, which literally just plays proof of hero in another version. But Shantiyen's theme, THAT is literally what I call boss music. Definitely up there with Zanza's theme. But Zanza is another level of god tier, but that's a different story lmao.
Most of them I never heard or didnt know they exist since I started with World. But damn, this Dire Miralis Theme hits different. It really sounds like the world is ending and you are the one hero saving it from disaster. Makes me sad that I probably will never fight this thing in a new game and hear its theme as like in next-gen game scenario. I probably could play mh3u - but I am a person who has less fun in older games these days just because of how used I am to higher standards now. With like smooth camera/gameplay and at least 60 FPS etc. .. but maybe in somewhat of a mhgu like game as some anniversary or remake with old time classic monsters returning.. a little bit of hope for that, even if its nearly impossible.
Monster Hunter has to be one of the best gaming franchises when it comes to amaizing soundtracks. My personal favourite (without nostalgia) would be Valstrax. But I also adore Nono and Kamus theme from Frontiers. But with nostalgia involved...nothing beats the Main Theme from Monster Hunter Tri...holy shit I get wet every time it plays. - Maybe
Generally, you got most of my personally highly ranked themes. Bit bummed you didn't include the new Sunbreak themes. They're not instantly hyper-energeic like most old-gen themes, but they build up, and are nowhere near as repetitive as some old themes. I feel like Sunbreak's themes (and a few World and Iceborne ones) have a more subtle depth, and are more replayable, since they are structured as a proper orchestra.
Malzeno's theme is great, but most remixes just aren't as good as the OG. Espinas is definitely none of them, but for example Astalos and Shagaru (which are in here)have weaker themes in Sunbreak than before. Rise's remixes are superior to World's though.
@@zodiark_xii Hmm, Teostra and Kushala's World theme beats all other versions as far as I'm concerned. Rise Chameleos' theme is utterly incredible tho.
@@LoncusZhao rise Teo is peak Teo and you can't change my mind. Rise Koosh was also REALLY good. As far as I know, Espinas was more just a touch up on the OG theme rather than a remix.
@@General_C Rise's Teo theme traded power and tempo to be exotic. It's a refurbishment of the original theme, with regional touchups (Arabic for Teostra's manticore motif), but became much weaker in turn. Personally, I couldn't give a damn how foreign the theme sounds if it can't get me excited in the least. It makes no difference to the fight whether it plays or not. It completely shed the low percussion and brass in favor of traditional instruments. Big ass L. Frankly speaking, I don't like Rise Teo at all, even though he's objectively better than in World, partly because the theme is boring as hell. The theme playing in the fight does _nothing._ It accomplishes _nothing,_ and I'd genuinely be fine playing with the sound off. This is hella disappointing, because music is a huge part of what games I like and play. World Teostra and Kushala weren't the best fights (being either too easy or irritating), but I still loved them to hell and back. Why? Because their music was powerful and majestic. Teostra's theme climax makes you feel like you're charging in as Teostra rears back and fully flames up. Kushala's climax feels like bracing against a world-ending storm. They are _masterpieces_ that I've downloaded to phone, and even over a thousands repeats in, it feels just as good as when I listened to them nearly 5 years ago.
@@LoncusZhao That's a hot take for sure. Especially for Daora's theme, the Rise version is a huge step up. And Teostra's theme in World comes not even close to a "masterpiece". Lunastra's theme is definitely superior.
Monster Hunter music blows me away man, even since the first game this series has had some of the best music out there, alongside Final Fantasy, Pokemon and the Phantasy Star Online games. I'll give an honorable shoutout to the absolute chaos of the 2 phase Unknown tracks from frontiers (the flying ones, not the black fox/Mi Ru variant of Unknown which is more epic than chaotic). Crazy themes for an unhinged monster, that thing was NOT playing around.
The beginning of Old Fatalis' theme always unnerves me. So otherworldly, like it shouldn't be there at all yet it is. Good themes all around but Malzeno takes the cake for best theme currently imo, just perfectly fits what it portrays.
White fatalis... You are a God, one that is better If remaining unknown to most of the world, for your power may be enough to split the heavens and bring despair to all that is natural..
me personally here's my top 6, cause I can't pick 5 exact ones I love the most I think 6th would be Glavenus's original theme. POWER. 5th is the OG Forlorn Arena/Tower theme. feels so wild and mysterious and I love it. 4th is between the Coral Highlands large monster music (magically mysterious and alien sounding) and Ceadeus's second phase theme for the same reasons. 3rd is iceborne's raging brachy final phase music. Something else in terms of epic feeling and badassery 2nd goes to Safi'jiva, especially the final phase theme. Gives me shivers whenever I hear it. 1st is easily Kulve Taroth's fury mode theme. This scratches an itch in my brain nothing else comes close to scratching, and she's especially memorable to me as my first giant siege monster other than obviously dire miralis's worse cousin.
My top 3 is personally 1. Proof of a Hero (MH4U version). I don't care if it doesn't belong to a specy 2. Shantien phase 4 3. White Fatalis theme from MH4U. This gave me PTSD. 4. Valstrax (mhgu version) 5. Ceadeus phase 2
I have to be honest and I'm not gonna lie, I agree with your thoughts even though I am still not aware of half the monsters there are . . . I would love to though
Agreed! It's the climax of "my" battle theme, Struggle for Freedom. You can find it here from minute 31 to 36 (there is quite a build-up, this section starts around minute 34): th-cam.com/video/S-opltFjwKU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fZkCWk4sa2c4arCn
I can agree with all of these being on the list (except maybe Mohran), the order I don't really agree with but I don't want to argue about that. I would like to add a few other Frontier themes that aren't very well known. I'll need to re-listen to them because it's been a while since I've heard most of them, but here are some : Varusaburosu Espinas Mi Ru Odibatorasu some of the (numerous) Raviente themes (including violent and berserk)
@@Vayne_Solidor yes! "Regular" MH games have dope themes too (hello Raging Brachy), but man, the average quality of Frontier music is just above the rest.
Really good playlist over all. A bit too favoring the older games IMO. But im also a pretty new convert (late iceborn), so i'll chalk it up to that. I would drop the Magnamalo's theme (especially the chorus part
Oh? You say Astalos' theme is better than any Frontier theme, especially Shantiyen? It's a fitting theme but there isn't much variety or depth. Great theme, but not a masterpiece like many others.
With Frontier, there were around ten Honorable Mentions I had to pick from. Chaotic Magala was one of them, great theme. As for Ukanlos, I don't like some parts of the theme.
@@Vayne_Solidor true, there are so many great songs and you did a great job. I myself have herd lots of Frontier song and there amazing. you did a good job.
I think it fits with how unnatural Fatalis is supposed to be. Its like a creature that crawled out of myth, you even fight it in a ruined castle as opposed the natural and life filled areas of World
Some of them, like Shantiyen or Diorex, most likely would have the same name if they return in the main series. These names are romanized. Others, like Dhisufiroa or Harudomerugu, don't have any "english" names.
Fun story, I was listening to Shantien’s theme medley one night while I was really tired. As I was dozing off and only half-conscious the phase 4 theme was playing and I swear my mind felt transcendent. Couldn’t agree more with the top pick!

Safijivas ire theme and Kulve taroths beginning fury are my favorite along with narwa, valstrax and malzeno.

I think 6th would be Glavenus's original theme. POWER.
5th is the OG Forlorn Arena/Tower theme. feels so wild and mysterious and I love it.
4th is between the Coral Highlands large monster music (magically mysterious and alien sounding) and Ceadeus's second phase theme for the same reasons.
3rd is iceborne's raging brachy final phase music. Something else in terms of epic feeling and badassery
2nd goes to Safi'jiva, especially the final phase theme. Gives me shivers whenever I hear it.
1st is easily Kulve Taroth's fury mode theme. This scratches an itch in my brain nothing else comes close to scratching, and she's especially memorable to me as my first giant siege monster other than obviously dire miralis's worse cousin.

Of course, all of these monsters deserved to be in the list (especially Shantien) but... WHERES INAGAMI MY LOVE?
I like the music narwa the allmother
I have 3 ultimate but I don't have a 3ds yet I miss this game
Rebidiora is my fan favorite then it's Valstrax. Two very epic monsters to fight.
Really good playlist over all. A bit too favoring the older games IMO. But im also a pretty new convert (late iceborn), so i'll chalk it up to that. I would drop the Magnamalo's theme (especially the chorus part
I think Odibaterasu theme deserves a spot here. Massively underrated
Basically EVERY track from Frontier deserves at least a mention.
MIZUTSUNE😍🔵⚪
Play this while cleaning your cat litter. WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS AGAINST THIS MIGHTY DRAGON PALICO LETS GO
Valstrax, Shagaru, Chameleos, Nargacuga and Alatreon are top 5
Ojala Ahtal-ka este en Sunbreak
😢
Hmmmmm personaly i prefer shentien first phase than the last and for me narwa is the best mh theme that just my opinion
Xiangtien ftw!
The fact that the ceadeus theme isn't #1 is a crime lol
Nope, LMAO
You just cannot beat or even compete with the final theme of Shantiyen.
DIRE MIRALIS AT THE TOP !!!!!!!!
No
It’s great but it’s too short
YES
Listen, listen, 19-1 ARE amazing themes. They're just.... not better than Astalos'.
Oh? You say Astalos' theme is better than any Frontier theme, especially Shantiyen? It's a fitting theme but there isn't much variety or depth. Great theme, but not a masterpiece like many others.
Me seeing RIP frontier literally while playing frontier lol
A lot people, including myself, played on official servers which were shut down.
@@Vayne_Solidor I know i imagine it was sad. I never got to play it while the official servers were up but I'm glad I get the chance to now
this is wonderful and well ranked. but... were is Ukanolos?
also chaotic gore magala
oultera from mh stories 2
With Frontier, there were around ten Honorable Mentions I had to pick from. Chaotic Magala was one of them, great theme. As for Ukanlos, I don't like some parts of the theme.
@@Vayne_Solidor true, there are so many great songs and you did a great job. I myself have herd lots of Frontier song and there amazing. you did a good job.
@@trackerdragonmaster2423 Thank you! #1 was definitely the easiest pick. This final phase theme is just divine.
cant complain about these themes but i have to say bazel theme is top tier for me just screams narcicistic asshole
Thank you. Bazel has one of the best theme hands down
Honorable mention goes to Low Rank Taikun Zamuza Phase 1/2/3 and Inagami
Like a lot themes in Frontier, Inagami's is really special. One of many possible Honorable Mentions.
Me waiting for nergigante theme to show up 😮
As if, Nergigante's theme is really underwhelming.
@@Vayne_Solidor The AT Nergigante theme is really good imo
Iceborn fatalis stage 2 is pretty much final fantasy music 😂
I think it fits with how unnatural Fatalis is supposed to be. Its like a creature that crawled out of myth, you even fight it in a ruined castle as opposed the natural and life filled areas of World
@@definitelynotsavathun3859 it look most normal yet is the most powerful being in existence (if you not count frontier)
me atrapaste, esto es musica
What about me? 😢
Are not Monsters from MHF given English name?
Some of them, like Shantiyen or Diorex, most likely would have the same name if they return in the main series. These names are romanized.
Others, like Dhisufiroa or Harudomerugu, don't have any "english" names.
@@Vayne_Solidor thx
Frontier was Japanese-only, so nothing was in English, including the monster names
I'm think Arena Battle Theme from MHXX is good too
And here isn't Proof of a hero MHGU version? It's the most epic in all the series (i mean, imo of course)
0:06
There's your answer.
