I'll never forget the day I first heard the guitar section of this song-- I had the world map open and went to the kitchen to make myself a sandwich; This bit started up and I dropped my fuckin unfinished sandwich, stopped, and listened for the whole duration of the segment. I couldn't freaking believe what I was hearing. What an absolute fucking masterpiece.
Pretty much the exact same thing that happened to me except I received a phone call and then had to excuse myself when this kicked in because it totally distracted me. :-D
I think you captured the exact intent of the piece. It really does tie in beautifully with 1000 Years of Dreams, immersing you in all the lives and travels Kaim has lead. Imagine going from ye olden days to post-industrial revolution. It would probably be the most lonely and hopeless feeling, knowing that no matter what you do, time pushes relentlessly forward - taking everyone but you with it.
bro, i never let this song play for more than 30 seconds, one day i went away and came back with guitars blasting i was like WTF MUSIC IS THIS?!!?! and stayed on the map screen on purpose after that.
@@tcmcjebus6606"Don't Forget Me Now, Ya Hear!" Made me sob like a child. And now, thinking on it years later, it goes all the way to Kaine's theme in NieR Automata.
+JM Cooper Could never play that game through. Can't stand the accents. The aesthetic of the game doesn't do it for me that much anyway and the accents just make it worse. Lost Odyssey, on the other hand, fills in every aesthetic need I could ever... well... need. Plus the gameplay is terrific turn-based combat, which I GREATLY prefer over the more action-y combat of Xenoblade. The story is also more interesting. But it's all subjective. I'm sure Xenoblade Chronicles is great if you prefer that gameplay and aesthetic. It did seem a bit hard when I tried it, but that's probably just because I wasn't going to take the time to grind it out to make progress. Didn't really care for the game.
This game is beautiful from top to bottom. Art in the truest sense of the word. But like many great works of art, it's sadly underappreciated. Same goes for Eternal Sonata.

THIS IS THE MUSIC THE GODS LISTEN TOO, this is the fucking map music?! HE DIDNT NEED TO GO THIS HARD BUT I LOVE THAT HE DID. Nobou Uematsu you are an actual god of music making
This plays in my head when I travel long distances, such as going out of state, and the guitar version when I left the country, (I went to England, Norway and Japan) It lived in my head, rent free ever since.
No song sums up Lost Odyssey better than this... I wish this game could be re-released on modern systems and PC, more people need to play this masterpiece of an RPG. One of the best games ever made.
Yes but no 😅, I fell into a infinite loop during the last battle where all my party members were possessed. So I was unable to continue (And I didnt want to reset the fight). Anyway it was at the very end so I watched the ending on YT. I loved it ❤
No sequels, please. Not every game needs a continuation. This one ended right where it needed to and didn't overstay its welcome. Spiritual successor? Sure. Sequel? Fuck no.
@@Lucifronz Unless thay do like Final Fantasy and any sequels have no connection eachother beyond a few common elements and mechanics and maybe some recurring monsters. Bit I'd prefer a spiritual successor as well.

A beautiful an artistic tune. Love this tune. It's like a journey to a beautiful forest or mountain to another part of the world. A journey to a thousand miles. A journey to a thousand miles begins with the first step. I love the switch to the rock beat as well, that was cool =-D
@@kennyloh7519 I agree for Ni No Kuni and Dragon Quest XI, but they still don't made game like this anymore. Now they prefer a shitty action rpg combat style like FFXV. Edit: It's not that I don't like action rpg (I adore the Ys serie), but the problem is they transform a cult turn based Jrpg serie who exist since 1987 in a action rpg.
Amazing world map theme, I loved this game back when I played it so many years ago. Another great map theme of a game that is not well known: Freedom Planet 2 - the Bakunawa map theme.
I wonder if I'm alive Breathe slowly Open your eyes Can you hear me? Look at what's in front of you An endless journey Our end What do you see? What do you feel? Were we ever really alive? You know this is the right choice Let's switch off together Let's float to no more Goodbye to everything
How I wish for a steam version of this game. I had it in xbox 360, but sadly the console died years ago. All I can do is wait for a release that never comes. Sad.
The only part I deeply disliked about the game was that one side story about the village where people tended to die young for an unknown reason, and this had been going on for a really long time, and the protagonist discovers the reason for it (an easily fixable problem) but deliberately decides not to tell them because the inordinate number of deaths by younger people had become part of their culture or something. Maybe it's just me, but that kind of story just irks me to no end. Even if it's a piece of fiction, I find such a decision to be absolutely detestable, inhumane and abhorrent, especially when it's depicted as being "the right choice" and "morally correct" somehow. It's absolutely not morally correct! It's morally reprehensible. Those people absolutely deserved to know why so many of them were dying way too young. Doesn't matter how much it had became part of their "culture". Allowing people to die from an easily fixable problem is just abhorrent. That really left a bad taste in my mouth in an otherwise excellent game. Especially since it was not depicted as a mistake or negative trait of the main character, but instead it was depicted as a noble act. Absolutely reprehensible. That story could have just been left out.
i felt the same way too at first but I don't think it's completely detestable or irrelevant to the overall theming of the game. The more I sat with it, the more it challenged my way of thinking which is what I respect it for. In a way the novel was putting more a focus on the fact that though they lived short lives, they were content and lived/viewed death in such a positive way. If Kaim was to introduce what was really affecting them, then the possibility of seeing their culture/livelihood being affected could also skew and the change the way they view death. Hell, it would've put a heavy burden on many of the villagers with the cruel fact that they fed their young the water. Yes he would've "saved" them from his perspective, but the novel is pretty clear on that the villagers were happy and content with death, unlike many of the other stories which treated death as a such a cruel thing. Even though they lived much shorter lives and they knew it, I liked the idea of it. It reminds me of tribes that exist today that we leave alone because of how we don't want to tamper too much to their way of living. As it brings the burden of what comes with helping them. Like the villagers would be forced to move to an entirely different location because the area they were in was dangerous for them, meaning they would have to leave their homes and find another source of clean water along with the burden of what they've been doing for so many years. The classic "ignorance is bliss" I do think certain things of the novel could've been changed when it came to it's atmosphere, maybe it's too happy and optimistic over a very complex topic which is what really affected me. But I don't think the whole "allowing people to die from an easily fixable problem" is true. Because in a sense it wasn't easily fixable there were heavy consequences if Kaim decided to tell them as I stated above. The reason you view a longer life as something precious is because you live in the modern world. Where human's are made to live longer than we were ever meant to be. In a way, that way of thinking could also be selfish because you're self projecting of what you think is right onto a group of ppl who already have their own form of living. That's what makes it the most challenging novel out of all them imo. The fact that it stuck hard with me makes me feel that it's inclusion was the correct one in the end and it still hits with the themes of how death can be viewed in many different perspectives, that just because a life is short doesn't really quite make it a tragic one if they lived contently.

Precisely. Well said.
How to make players stay on the map screen for much longer than would be necessary? Compose a map music that's as epic as this one.
I do exactly that. Haha
