History AwesomeMusic / PhantasyStar

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwxKHST_I68&t=41m19s music for the penultimate dungeon]], [[spoiler: Lashute]], is sheer, unadulterated horror, with its pounding two-note bassline and viciously sinister organ melody. And it's ''awesome.''

* Of course, the game has its own original music, too: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDGHM3D6DGM "Behind the Circut"]], [[spoiler: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61IAHniwWWw Her Last Breath]]]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOpWbH7Xvew A Terrible Sight]], and more.
* [[https://youtu.be/IvszxdJNvtE Laughter]]. Truly a shame that it was only used twice in the entire game - when you fight [[spoiler: Zio]] and later [[spoiler: the reincarnated Lashiec]].

''PhantasyStar Online'' has its share of epic music. Some examples of musical awesome include:

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbRORnX_MQk Phantasy (Title Screen)]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iG54z3etak Death Place]] (which is used as boss music)
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axXRSxZPBk0 Mystery]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjDQvHBQpKs De Rol Le's theme]]

* The same could be said for "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwxKHST_I68&=10m16s Maia's Abduction]]", which kicked off the entire adventure in the first place. Never let it be said that 16-bit sound hardware is incapable of conveying a character's bubbling, seething rage and hatred born of age-old wars.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwxKHST_I68&t=31m50s Searren ~Type 386~]], which plays when Wren Transforms into the GlobalAirship or Aqua skimmer, is as energetic and adventurous as a tune that plays when you have the freedom to fly over the world or sail across the water should be.

Though PSO Episode III wasn't as well received, it continues the series' trend with memorable tracks.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YI_IGFBOTHE "IDOLA" The Strange Fruits]] continues the trend of awesome final boss music, to the point where it received a remix in Phantasy Star Online 2.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kreOzTnf_0 Ravum Aedes Sacra, the boss theme for Leukon Knight.]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iG54z3etak Death Place]] (which is used as boss music), [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axXRSxZPBk0 Mystery]], and perhaps the most awesome of this game's awesome music would be this piece, called [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sX85w0_5_M Rise or Fall]]. Final boss music? No, that's the basic battle music in PSII!

* Also [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K-GmmMh0-A Cybernetic Carnival]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyNH5qT9A2A Thray]], and the Landeel's theme.

* ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarIII'' picked up the gauntlet thrown down by its predecessor in the awesome music department.
*** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwxKHST_I68&t=41m19s music for the penultimate dungeon]], [[spoiler: Lashute]], is sheer, unadulterated horror, with its pounding two-note bassline and viciously sinister organ melody. And it's ''awesome.''
*** The same could be said for "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwxKHST_I68&=10m16s Maia's Abduction]]", which kicked off the entire adventure in the first place. Never let it be said that 16-bit sound hardware is incapable of conveying a character's bubbling, seething rage and hatred born of age-old wars.
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwxKHST_I68&t=31m50s Searren ~Type 386~]], which plays when Wren Transforms into the GlobalAirship or Aqua skimmer, is as energetic and adventurous as a tune that plays when you have the freedom to fly over the world or sail across the water should be.
*** The overworld theme starts out [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwxKHST_I68&t=14m43s simple,]] but becomes more awesome with each new party member. First the melody is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwxKHST_I68&t=16m30s doubled,]] then accompanied by [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwxKHST_I68&t=18m19s an ostinato figure,]] then [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwxKHST_I68&t=20m8s a countermelody]] is added on top of that, and finally the track is completed with some [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwxKHST_I68&t=21m57s percussion]].
** And there's more of the same in ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarIV'':
*** The remixes of the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNfpkLg9oOQ Dungeon]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0swWIeiHWP4 themes]] from the first game.
*** Of course, the game has its own original music, too: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDGHM3D6DGM "Behind the Circut"]], [[spoiler: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61IAHniwWWw Her Last Breath]]]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOpWbH7Xvew A Terrible Sight]], and more.
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFgpWnamW_M Laughter]]. Truly a shame that it was only used twice in the entire game - when you fight [[spoiler: Zio]] and later [[spoiler: the reincarnated Lashiec]].
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIOxeLblCAI Requiem for Lutz]] was sad and haunting and conveyed the feeling of thousands of years of history and melancholy in the Espers' Mansion to a tee. It's also interestingly reminiscent of the ''Phantasy Star III'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZt33h6j-fY main theme]].
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aek-0HtdVuQ This piece]], which tends to play as the theme of female party members who have a connection to the Algo system's past has a similar feel, invoking feelings of sadness for the lost history of a bygone age.
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r4Ms3eE-k0 The Age of Fables]], another track that was sadly only used twice, will give you goosebumps. ''Especially'' if you hear it in its in-game context - that of the truth being revealed, the final piece of the puzzle falling into place and completing the series' epic story at last.
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3V3lQwbCME Organic Beat]] deserves special mention, both for being objectively awesome, and also for how it is used in the story. This is the music that plays the first time you enter the fort of the game's first BigBad, which is the moment in the game you realize you're up against something far older and more frightening than you at this point are prepared for. Pretty soon, shit gets real, and this is the music that lead up to it.
*** Likewise, the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrwYDqNd7ZE Black Blood]] which plays on your first encounter with BigBad Zio.
*** And how about the music for the opening sequence: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx4GGtb5Qzw Made. Of. Pure. Win.]]
*** Also [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K-GmmMh0-A Cybernetic Carnival]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyNH5qT9A2A Thray]], and the Landeel's theme.
