Just For Fun: Your Favorite Music Track!

[Altiea]

"The best part about Sonic games are the music.

You've probably heard this a lot. By no coincidence, Hideyaki Kobayashi does the music for both the Sonic series and the post-tetraology Phantasy Star games. And we definitely got some damn good themes in PSO2.


What's your favorite music track in PSO2?

[Gwyndolin]

I love Borderless and Dark Falz Loser's Theme!

[yoshiblue]

Pretty hard call. Its a toss up between Biol "Grounded" Meduna and Quartz Dragon for boss themes. Partly because Meduna reminds me of Onimusha and Quartz reminds me of Star Fox Assault. Its also a toss up between Tokyo Night and Floating Facility. I like the jazz solo and calmness when nothing is going on, but I also like the overall vibes of Facility's theme. If I really have to pick though,

Boss: Biol "Grounded" Meduna (https://youtu.be/tq4NZJ_8rBg?t=1m56s)
Field: Floating Facility

[TheAstarion]

Mine's a tie between the Profound Darkness's entire soundtrack (except for Idola: Strange Fruits which imho is overrated and takes up far too much of the fight compared to Ooze and the PD Whole New World), the unused TD Failure track that was used in some previews (and I currently have set as my wake-up alarm), and this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f5vYM9GgiY) music disc (which is from some other game I assume?).

Tokyo Battle Music - Day version (well i even have a 28 min version mixing the battle + boss theme in my YT channel :P) That's really my number 1 music so far, but honestly i never have only 1 music at 1st place xD, i would put the Shop area/Salon music there too and Falz Loser and Angel music too, and UQ Lillipa and training quest music, so that's like 6 xD

[Anduril]

Probably Dio Hunar's theme and Borderless.

[Kondibon]

I'm glad I'm not the the only person who likes the earth music.



Field: Floating FacilityWe are in accord. \o/

[Great Pan]

Realization and Borderless are the only good tracks, the rest are meh.

Okay, I can't limit myself to just one for each category.

For area themes:

Tokyo (Day). It fits the area nicely: familiar, yet strange and otherworldly at the same time due to how bizarre the Phantoms are even compared to PSO's monsters.
Las Vegas (Night, Exploration). The lyrics for the nighttime version are silly but the instrumental is just a blast to listen to. 10/10, would kill clowns on a skyscraper with a hentai bat to it.
Las Vegas (Day, Riding Quest). The daytime version feels more complete with Runblebee and it better suits the feel of Riding Quests than the night version. I guess I'm biased since I played Sonic Riders.
Seabed. A lovely orchestral theme for a downright beautiful area.
Kuron. The music becoming more intense as you travel up the mountain is a nice touch.


For bosses...:

It's a shame that the Profound Darkness' first phase is cleared so quickly, because the Ooze remix played in that phase is the best music to come out of that fight. It feels like the best parts of Elder and Blu Ringahda's themes put together to remix a classic.
Mother (Emergency Code: Chase). Even the pre-battle music is just a joy to listen to. And then the chase starts and the electric guitars kick in... It's hard not to smile when listening to it. (It would be even harder if I got better at dodging laser grids.)
Biol Meduna (Floating). It feels very unique compared to the other, more intense themes, like you're about to engage in a murderous dance with the boss.
Blu Ringahda. This one's just so grand and energetic. It starts with a loud, pounding orchestra, then gets some electronic accompaniment for Phase 2. Kinda reminds me of Navras by Juno Reactor in that respect.
Falz Arms (All phases, but especially the super-tense 60-80% phase). I thought Ooze doesn't get enough time to play these days, but HOLY SHIT this set of songs got screwed over by the power creep. Cycling through three remixes of a theme as you get closer to your goal is just an awesome idea, and so are each of the remixes.


As for music that doesn't fall under either of those categories... I like Maneuvers of Mother Cluster, I guess. A suitable theme for a mysterious anime space cult. And the later mission themes of Challenge Mode are pretty exciting too (4 and 5.)

[Ahri]

Vs Theodore is great song :)

[XykeVayaris]

Every rendition of "Whole new world" The very first one played in the first opening would be the most memorable to me

[Layete]

It's hard to pick just one, but if I had to go with an absolute favorite, it'd be...

Mining Defense Wave 4 music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oGrSjgP73g)

My other favorites are:

1. Falz Arms theme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRvUUkJc-0s)
2. Vs Theodore (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54QgVQu-6FU)
3. Ruins area battle theme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBpDVEw6TKU)
4. Profound Darkness' A Whole New World (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YOQoY-Qmes)
5. Oracle Field BGM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJNVHj-R6ao)
6. Falz Hunar battle theme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCjXGqhXvfI)

[sonisei]

The phase transitions makes this a winner.

[Zephyrion]

I guess Quartz Dragon, and pretty much every Double-related theme (special mention for Double's inner universe, forever absent while having both one of the best sceneries and tracks in the game)

[TheFanaticViper]

I guess Quartz Dragon, and pretty much every Double-related theme (special mention for Double's inner universe, forever absent while having both one of the best sceneries and tracks in the game)

Totally agree about Double's inner universe, music and stage are AMAZING
I dream about a new kind of abduction in the stage

[loafhero]

Falz Hunar's theme: Back in EP1, this song really gave me that "You're fucked now!" vibes, completely selling Falz Hunar as a legitimately intimidating threat. The beginning part of the music still continues to get me hyped.


IDOLA the Strange Fruits (Profound Darkness's 2n'd phase): I love the alien-like feeling from this theme


Esca Falz Mother (Chase): The guitar riffs are really nice to listen to.


Shironia: The song is so energetic that I feel motivated to find a different area for new enemies to spawn just to listen to the guitar part.


Mining Base Demise: Every wave theme is just so awesome to listen to.


Viel/Dio Hunar theme: Best part about this theme is that even without Story context, the theme still manages to convey a beautiful but tragic feel to it.


This theme (https://youtu.be/FlWIlnKi828?list=PL4B8FDDF64970707E) that plays during EP1, 2, and 3's Story every time something bittersweet happens.


Quna's EP4 Credits song: Aside from Eri Kitamura actually staying in character when singing this song, its a pretty nice song to listen to on a regular basis.

Oh yeah, that awesome song. Power creep really did a number on that one. Actually, even more so than with Falz Arms. And it may be the only time the low HP tune is used for an enemy.

Oh yeah, forgot about Mother's theme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UytvRyHPMI)! Quite a nice (albeit kinda bizarre and distorted-sounding) remix of Xion's theme.

[NightlightPro]

No order:

ESCA Falz Mother ride/chase music
Las Vegas - Neon Nights
Tokyo BGM Zero-G battle ???
Coast music (battle mode)
TD4

This, the first time I reached him while abducted gave me some serious goosebumps. Also dying afterwards because the game wasn't a complete cakewalk back then and I didn't have 145* +1089048109578 like I do now.

Other than that the magatsu themes and big vardha's theme are great as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE_R3ffk6uE
