Joe Franlin Agrred, Ancient Cave is absolutely amazing and the sole reason I started playing Dark Cloud/Dark Cloud 2 (Chronicle). Pity I never finished either though, but have Ebayed both for next week. Anyway, Lufia 2, gawd I wish it would get a DECENT remake in the modern era, with everything kept the same just with a shit load more additions (and make Arek a superboss since....like everyone wants to know what that dude's goal is). And Arek is my name....so....by everyone I mean me more than anyone else. >_>

Well I suppose that does explain some of Erim's back and forward behavior. But regardless, it still wouldn't be the first time "god" has been beaten in a game lol. I thought a translation of one of the other Lufia games did confirm that Arek (called something else, I can't remember what, but still referred to as "Absolute") was the god of the Sinistrals, so god of gods so to speak. Anyway, I'd still like to know more about him than the regular 4 it shows, with the occasional line drop from Daos or Erim about Arek.

I was driving to work with my bike while hearing this. When the song finished, i won the Tour de France.

Best Boss Fight Theme ever. You just thought: okay! Bring it on! The whole Story (and Soundtrack) of this Game is a masterpiece.

There's this feeling of trepidation when you hear this theme play on your first-ever playthrough - you just know this is going to be a tough fight, especially since the one just introduced himself as "Gades, Sinistral of Destruction". Most will fall, and that's okay. But when you prepare enough, and with your currently-miniscule strength you find victory? That is the most satisfying feeling - which is only accentuated upon when afterward, Maxim holds a new sword above his head and a text box appears claiming "You obtained Gades' Blade"

Es sensacional

Every now and then I come back to this. Just to say that it is still probably my favorite game of all time :b

I was around 10-12 years old when I started playing this game and had 0 knowledge about music. Didn't realize that this was in fact a sick metal music. All I knew was this song sent chills down my spine when I first fought Gades. I knew it wasn't a normal boss fight. Oh the drama.....

When I first heard this I was what, ten? I remember exactly where I was when I ran into Gades. I'll never forget that feeling of "Oh... shit. I'm going to die."

Did anyone ever level grind enough (not very hard on New Game+ with the 4x exp multiplier) to be able to beat Gades the first time you face him at Gordovan West Tower? Sure, he just goes "Ah, now see my true power!" and wipes you out in a cutscene anyway, but you get an IMMENSE amount of exp and gold and the Gades Blade, which will be the most powerful weapon you can get for Guy or Dekar for most of the rest of the game (especially with its devastating 'Octo Strike' IP tech). Plus it's simply one of the tensest and most awesome battles you'll ever play! A lot of effort, but worth it!

But damn it's satisfying to do just once.

So dope! Love the energy they could make with such limited systems (with our view from nowadays).

Rented Lufia 2 from the video store and finished it 25 years ago. The songs still get me hard.

This music made these battles so intense. The music and the sound worked so well together, it turned into something you can only experience. Though on later plays through the game, this music more signified how badass I was, and how bad I was about to stomp them. :D

Both of them worked together at one point. Yasunori Shiono was composing at a company called Wolfteam early in his career. Yasunori Mitsuda actually took his co-op placement at Wolfteam around the same time. Actually, at Wolfteam, Yasunori Shiono functioned more as a programmer/sound effect engineer than a composer, and Yasunori Mitsuda started off as a sound engineer/sound effect programmer at Square. Wolfteam is better known for the birthplace of the Tales RPG series and its also the first place Motoi Sakuraba was employed as a video game music composer.

In college, I played music from FF and Chrono Trigger and stuff for a bunch of my music teachers, and they were all like, "Whoa, that's so cool! I didn't know video games had such awesome music!" Best. Teachers. EVER.

One of the greatest super nintendo boss battle themes. When you hear this theme it makes you feel like your fighting something greater then a boss, you feel like your fighting a destructive force beyond your understanding.

I love how much hard rock is in this theme! Dayum!

this song remember me of the goods times when i descovered this game.i played on the next day and was very good.this game is amazing,exelent and one of the best games i has been played!=D thanks for the recordations!=D ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ i miss you. i completed this game four times^^^^^^ =D '-' this game is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I have a few remixes of this great tune but really, nothing beats the original version.

Damn, why are all the good RPG OSTs made by the Y names? We have Yasunori Shiono for this game, Yasunori Mitsuda for the Chrono games, and Yasunori Nishiki for the Octopath Traveler games, and we have Yoko Shimomura for countless RPG games; most notably Kingdom Hearts and the Mario RPG games.

I always imagine something huge is coming out of the ground whenever I hear this theme.

Remember the time when you played that game until that song. ♪ It was the best time I ever had. I will always remember when I played that game and finally could listen to this epic song. I've learned it to play on my keyboard, and that's when I decided to go to the music school, where they've put me into the third class, because I've learned to play with that song before. ♪

Everyone here NEEDS to check out the Zircon remix. It is easily one of the greatest remixes ever, hands down.

Dat Drum ascension at 0:50 and onwards is just priceless!

SNES OST is really incredible.

Lufia 2 is easily in the top ten for best musical themes.

I was playing Castlevania music on a piano in high school when a friend of mine walked up and commented on how beautiful the piece was. When I told her what it was from, she scoffed and told me to play some real music. Dat feel when you punched a girl.

men, this is a perfect music for the final bosses, sometimes i was just leave the controller and hear that for a long time, so i suffer to kill the boss but i never got mad when someone of the 4 owned me.

One of the best RPGs ever made (both 1 and 2 are amazing), but in 2 you have the epic music like this.
