Different track playing at Falz Arms fight

[Mysterious-G]

When my party entered a Falz Arm battle rather late yesterday, both of us noticed that another track was playing for the fight.
At first I figured it might have been the version of the track right before the arms are defeated, however, while being reminiscent of it, it just sounded too different.

No recording was done since the fight did not last long as I stated, so my word will have to do. Did anyone else experience this?

[Zyrusticae]

You wouldn't happen to be referring to this version, would you?

yes the first battle of the arms is different from the next battle of the arms... the next battle adds a pso1 style theme of the pure dark falz music I believe it is.

No, it is a remixed version of the track. It sounds completely different to the normal track; you would realise if you got the other version.

I've had it once too. My recording software wasn't up though so I couldn't show you.

[SwordOkami]

I encountered this shift in the themes too! So, I wasn't going crazy...

There are 4 different versions of the Falz Arms theme. Generally you'll just get version one, but it can be:

Version 1 (http://nicotter.net/watch/sm19567601)
Version 2 (http://nicotter.net/watch/sm19664997)
Version 3 (http://nicotter.net/watch/sm19567689)
Version 4 (http://nicotter.net/watch/sm19565242)

Didn't know there was 4 versions, I thought there were only 2. o:
Actually, I never heard version 2 and 3, only 1 and 4. If I'm not mistaken, version 1 plays at the beginning, while version 4 plays when the 80% message starts appearing.

Oh, ohhhhhhh, so that's the trigger for the Falz musics. o.o

There are also 40% and 60% intervals, but we always past them so they're never heard, although I did hear it once.

[Zyrusticae]

Wow, I've never heard version 2 or 3 either. Huh.

Interesting.

Version 2 in particular sounds nothing at all like the other versions...

[gravityvx]

I heard 2 earlier this morning, I thought I was just tired...guess not. lol

[Ezodagrom]

Oh, version 3, I had a feeling I heard it before, but I didn't know where. I just remembered it now, it was in a part of the early December update trailer, starting at 1:06:

Reading the descriptions of each version;

Version 1 plays in the 0%-39% defeat rate, version 2 plays in the 40%-59% defeat rate, version 3 plays in the 60%-79% defeat rate while version 4 plays after 80%.

So it will be rather rare you'll hear 2 and 3 since we always get 80% in the first 5 minutes...

[Angry_Ryudo]

Ver. 3 seems to be the one in Falz preview video. Nice! :D

EDIT: Ezodagrom is a ninja :3

#3 is the most epic theme for me.

[Yunfa]

Granted it was 6am, I KNEW I WASNT BEING DELUSIONAL AND HEARD A DIFFERENT SOUND TRACK~~~ HURRRRRRRRRrrrr

[Resanoca]

So that was version 2 I heard that one time. At the time, I figured songs got all jumbled up.

[Syklo]

So the one that really baffled me was version 3...

version 2 sounds awesome!

But can someone upload these to youtube? nicotter isn't nice to my browser (always freezes at a point) :(

THANK YOU SO MUCH! :3

[Mysterious-G]

Thanks Z-O, that solves the mystery! :) (Heard track 2 for the record.) I am glad I brought up something not only I wasn't aware off before.

It's kind of a shame, though; track 1 and 4 sound quite similar in the first place, while track 2 and 3 really sound different from the others. Too bad we hardly ever will get to hear them.
