I remember playing this game way back in 2003 I have no idea about JRPG or RPG in general man I didn't know that I started my JRPG journey with this legendary game now hearing it again brings so much memories and nostalgia
Of course the insparation is ecstasy of gold and this is an incredible choice. It fits perfectly the game and the 'western" ambiance of the beginning of the game.
@@MarxasThomas Yes Media Vision/Sony got the rights to use the soundtrack for the game and remixed it accordingly. It can be seen in other tracks such as the main theme relating to Fistful of Dollars.
No doubt man. I was listening to a guys podcast on his top 50 RPGs and this was 43 and the music took over in my mind as being the best. Sadly I never played Wild Arms but it's better late then never 😂
It's not ripped off, it's actually a remixed version of the theme. They got the rights to do it. Sadly Ennio Morricone passed away today. A true legend.
Damn man............. i remember going over my neighbors house when I was a child listening to this legendary OST. I miss you Josh and Daniel. I hope you guys are good wherever you are.
The moment I walked out of the first town as Rudy and heard L'estasi Del'oro I was sold on this game hook, line, and sinker! This soundtrack was amazing.
Heard this elsewhere. I was humming along and it felt nostalgic to me. I've never played this game. Then I read the Ecstasy of Gold comments and it clicked. That's why it felt familiar.
PLEASE tell me someone else can hear "Ecstasy of gold" in this... I mean... besides the hard rock and the drums... I listened to them side by side and.... there are minor differences but they remind me so much of each other!
A lot of people heard Ecstasy of Gold first then this theme, but for me this is the first time I have ever exposed to Ennio Morricone. Then I watch The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of course :)
Is someone on gaming halls playing a game that has a gold styled theme and when you win big in the free spins this melody comea up? This got me back to listening to this awesome soundtrack 😊
After all these years I'm surprised nobody realized that this music is a remixed version of an old Clint East Wood movie called the Good the Bad and the Ugly.
@SinJackal Naruke was a big fan of spaghetti western music, and it IS a bit different after the main theme. I think this is a great tribute to the original song. The music in this game very much reminds me of Alundra. That game rocked, too.
@MiKEY83091 Yep, that's exactly what I was referring to. At the time I made that old comment, there were a few comments about how "Wild Arms ripped off Metalica", so I thought that was ironic since Metalica ripped off the Clint Eastwood movie's soundtrack for that song.
Yeah, plenty of people were saying that, but great "caring" shouldn't be assumed from a mere 2 sentence reply from a year ago. It doesn't really matter if you agree. Whether or not someone feels they're overrated is just their opinion, I have mine and you have yours. We don't need to agree with eachother or anyone else for our opinions to feel validated. And yes, Wild Arms did also "rip off" the song. Not from Metalica, but from the original guy who Metalica ripped it off from as well.
Metallica enters the stage to Morricone's "Ecstasy of Gold" at all of their concerts. Because of this, they were asked to compose a cover version of the song for the "We Love Ennio Morricone" compilation. There is simply no ripping off happening.
Little nods to great spaghetti westerns like this are what made Wild Arms 1 great, and set it apart from the shit sandwich that the franchise became. L'estasi del'oro as the world map theme? Fucking awesome.
@Visualundeath It was barely rearranged. The tune was almost the exact same only played with different instruments, and then added stuff around it to make a more interesting track. You don't understand why I even made that comment. People were posting here claiming that Wild Arms soundtrack ripped off Metalica, which it clearly did not. They were dumb enough to think Metalica invented the tune, hence my comment.
Metallica recorded the studio version of The Ecstasy because they were asked to partake on a tribute album to Ennio. Furthermore, Hetfield cites that The Good, The Bad is one of his favorite movies as well as Clint Eastwood being one of his favorite actors. They also sampled the song as an intro since the 1980s Showing appreciation towards something you like doesn't constitute as ripping off. I'd wager that those 9 people that "agree" with you didn't know that as well as yourself.
And I seriously doubt the game devs for Wild Arms have even heard of the Metallica song, because the Wild Arms one sounds nothing like that at all. Rather, it sounds very close to the Clint Eastwood one, which was the obvious inspiration for the song on this video.
I believe ecstasy of gold was originally from The Good The Bad and The Ugly. . It was most definitely sampled for the making of this theme. Metallica made their own cover of the song because GBU was one of the band member's favorite movie. watch?v=NOKhQ8ObQ7E
@Visualundeath In other words, they used the tune of that song as a base to create a song specifically based on that other song. You can use euphemisms for it and label it as whatever you want, but you can't deny that the metallica song was specifically based on that other song. I'm not ashamed to say Wild Arms ripped off the Clint Eastwood movie. They did. What I'm saying is, it's pathetic that ignorant kids think they ripped off Metalica who in fact ripped off the Clint Eastwood movie.
Doesn't matter. To begin with, my comment was directed at people who claimed that the developers of this game ripped off Metalica. Hence my comment about the idiots who made said comments. The fact remains that the song was created well before Metalica ripped it off/made a tribute to it (whatever makes you feel better) I also don't really care about how many people like my comments, but I guess it's too bad that it bothers you that so many people liked my comment and didn't like any of yours.
@Visualundeath See as how I have the top rated comment, I'm not worried about how many people agree or don't agree with me since obviously most agree. Feel free to continue your Metalica white knighting. The fact remains that they ripped off the Clint Eastwood tune, and Wild Arms did as well. The Wild Arms tune is not based upon the Metalica song whatsoever, which is my entire point. So all your commenting is completely pointless seeing as how the truth is fairly obvious.
You mean the same bands that do it because they are fans of the work and pay honor to it? The same bands that introduce more people to a classic work that deserves to be exposed to as many generations as possible? I personally love it when people fail at being wiseguys since it's hilarious how they lack any type of logic or facts. Not a fan of said band either by the way. Still funny though :P

Of course the insparation is ecstasy of gold and this is an incredible choice. It fits perfectly the game and the 'western" ambiance of the beginning of the game.
When you get a chance go watch an old movie called the Good the Bad and the Ugly starring Clint East Wood. This music is basically from that movie.
I just heard that song and tought, is this...?
The true Western RPG...
RIP Ennio Morricone; a legend
His was truly michiko’s influence.

@@psyche1295 even more interesting, Wild Arms 1's release in Japan coincided with the 30th anniversary release of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
@@GiordanDiodato That's awesome!
@@psyche1295wonderfull ost
The best RPG map theme ever.. I remenber playing this game when i was 12 and this music sent a shiver down my spine
same thing happens reading this (plus i got a bon*** :D)
100% the best one.
No doubt man. I was listening to a guys podcast on his top 50 RPGs and this was 43 and the music took over in my mind as being the best. Sadly I never played Wild Arms but it's better late then never 😂
Pure golden ecstasy! ;)
REST IN PEACE Ennio Morricone
not at all inspired by ecstasy of gold
That's what makes it even bigger.
Who cares as long as it integrates the game perfectly
It's not ripped off, it's actually a remixed version of the theme. They got the rights to do it. Sadly Ennio Morricone passed away today. A true legend.
@@psyche1295 damn.... Sad day....
What a good homage

Because it is the same just redone for this series
This is truly incredible! I wanna get this game now, I love this!
A lot of people heard Ecstasy of Gold first then this theme, but for me this is the first time I have ever exposed to Ennio Morricone. Then I watch The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of course :)
Michiko Morricone ❤
Thank you Reckful for showing me this video all those years ago.
Byron ❤️
Ennio Morricone - Ecstasy of Gold (The Good, the Bad, the Ugly) rulez!
Call it what you want, I enjoyed this theme back then and still do.
Is someone on gaming halls playing a game that has a gold styled theme and when you win big in the free spins this melody comea up? This got me back to listening to this awesome soundtrack 😊
This theme brings me so many good memories, thanks for upload !!!🔥
hm, this sounds familiar. :)
Same for me.
Wild Arms FTW!
Reminds me a lot of Ennio Morricone music. Great stuff
Too many memories? One can have no such thing.
a song that i still humbling up until now eventhough me already 30y.o hahahaha
After all these years I'm surprised nobody realized that this music is a remixed version of an old Clint East Wood movie called the Good the Bad and the Ugly.
Adro esta musica !!! Me lembra os velhos tempos
Digital Foundry´s video about the PlayStation Classic brought me here!

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Ecstasy of Gold

As a kid hearing this song was just a regular song then watching the good the bad and the ugly now I see.
I have only played Wild Arms 1 and 2 but I know those are the classics.
Metallica enters the stage to Morricone's "Ecstasy of Gold" at all of their concerts. Because of this, they were asked to compose a cover version of the song for the "We Love Ennio Morricone" compilation. There is simply no ripping off happening.
Man where have I heard this song before hmmm I wonder...
Little nods to great spaghetti westerns like this are what made Wild Arms 1 great, and set it apart from the shit sandwich that the franchise became. L'estasi del'oro as the world map theme? Fucking awesome.
Best ringtone EVER ! Try it out :D
I remember I asked my mom to buy this game to hold me over until FF7 came out. I actually enjoyed it. Never played the sequels though
You should play the sequel the music is also gold
@Visualundeath It was barely rearranged. The tune was almost the exact same only played with different instruments, and then added stuff around it to make a more interesting track.

It's a homage to EoG, a song by Ennio Morricone, who Metallica loved. Hence the link to the song.

The guy in the brown jacket's face reminds me of Christopher Lloyd.
Yeah i just watched that Breaking Bad video and the memory of this song was torturing me xD
This was used in the last 2 Space levels in But Too for the Saturn wtf
So I just seen a modelo beer commercial and knew this song was familiar af lol
the wild west!!!!
Thé only game you go to map for pleasure

Who's here after Jump Half

@acaserogue01 Eh, I beg to differ. The newer Wild Arms are still good. They're just not as Western Focused. They still have the theme though.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

jay z - blueprint 2 Sample
Hmm, I seem to sense a bit to many similarities with a score composed by that of a certain Ennio Morricone.
@acaserogue01
I still see wild arms as one of the more entertaining rpgs upto five(skipped 4). Maybe it got a bit easy.
Wer ist wegen GLP hier?
Ich xD
IIIICH

haha isso xD
It kind of sounds like the good the bad and the ugly theme
Yeah Ecstacy of Gold is definitely in this, and Metallica didn't write Ecstacy of Gold
The good the bad and the ugly.

Copied from Ennio Morricone!

Don't you just love it when newbs give credit for a song from nearly 40 years ago to some overrated rock band that clearly ripped it off?
