History AwesomeMusic / TalesSeries

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-AoP3NOja0 Meaning of Birth]] from ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'', which is an orchestral remix of their already awesome opening theme [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqYN5gHDn0k Karma]].

*** The theme for the first part of the final battle, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCZtf3hKPBM Time To Raise The Cross.]]

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj8I_wl0xXk At the time of Farewell.]]

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF_T1FplLCk Fighting of the Spirit]]. That's all.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzgppdyeG0w&hd=1 Be Absentminded]]

*** And don't forget both Sakuraba's arranged [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uozey7q7fjI version]] and S.S.H.'s [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbrKFoj-lRw remix]] version of it.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atadtF0Ycdo Decisive]], the Dhaos battle music and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tYg-gVMulg&fmt=18 remix]] from ''Eternia''. It's awesome enough to make you say '''[[LargeHam INDIG]][[Narm/VideoGames NAY]][[LargeHam SHUN]]'''!
*** No doubt it's awesome, though it kinda overshadows the other three Dhaos themes are pretty much equally as awesome. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCvRrSgXBhE Conclusion]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_ROYSx18yY Who Is Good Or Evil?]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gKT4ndpCps I Miss You]]
** There's also [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9VJFJ1l1WY&fmt=18 Threatening Sky]], which was used for [[SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfAwesome Cless and Arche's aerial battle to save Midgard]].

*** Same with the regular boss music. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqciyfasHYE&fmt=18 Overcome Difficulties]]

** And you can't forget [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy83wRrFNg0&hd=1 Fatalize]].
*** No, you can't forget it; that's why Radiant Mythology 2 has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwmMjMKh5E8 this awesome version of it]]. Heck, even SoulCalibur Legends has an [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEYZw2EJHPA epic remix of it]].

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQCjm7ZOEbk Kratos's theme]] is really catchy. There's also the alternate version of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUVttp4TlxE&fmt=18 Zelos's' theme.]]

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzWutUND1cU&fmt=18 Like A Glint of Light]], the Tethe'alla battle theme.

** Don't you ''dare'' forget [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdXmlD_p9lM&feature=related Full Force]].
* The sequel, ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld'', gives us the truly amazing final battle theme [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqJgRFdbGYM&fmt=18 "The Wilderness of Sadness"]], which really isn't done justice by [=YouTube=] quality.
** It also has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UbBagJNZ4I&feature=related With Courage]], the standard boss battle theme. An incredible piece.
** As well as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obk8b9Scwvw I'll Go]], the battle music for the Colosseum [[spoiler:and the Ginnungagap]]. It's certainly good enough to rival [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmUuo_l8dMg&fmt=18 Keen-Edged Blade]].

** Or [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWSCdxQOxXI&fmt=18 Richter's theme]].

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-AoP3NOja0&fmt=18 Meaning of Birth]] from ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'', which is an orchestral remix of their already awesome opening theme [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqYN5gHDn0k Karma]].
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CnUeGzeZk0&hd=1 Finish the Promise]], an epic final boss theme that actually works in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzlYsDpYvfY Grand Fonic Hymn]] (a tune you'll hear frequently in battles if you use Tear, and an important storyline thing as well), making it all kinds of awesome.
*** Don't forget the theme for the first part of the final battle, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCZtf3hKPBM Time To Raise The Cross]]
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlfCIBZy4Yw The Edge of a Decision,]] the second normal battle theme of the game, which has a pretty dang awesome [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-6BiQLA_LM&fmt=18 remix/arrangement.]]
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm0_dHJZmNc&fmt=18 Awkward Justice]], the boss music used when fighting the Six God-Generals.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj8I_wl0xXk&fmt=18 At the time of Farewell.]]
** And then even some more ambient non-battle themes, like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXhoa62K7Vw&fmt=18 Mt. Roneal]].
** ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQk1a3BykHU&fmt=18 Sheaf of Soul]]'', which also has a piano version [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoU5xkX3Ios&fmt=18 here]].
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-N4wwYv5ag&fmt=18 Happiness in my Hand]], which has TWO other versions, one an [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNvJdpelCiU&fmt=18 arrangement with a bit more background to it]], and the other [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-m96rRhu14&fmt=18 a piano version]].

** ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgSpUf2R5Go&fmt=18 Crimson Pride]]''!

** ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DasKfnqF3qM&list=PL0D36EDE027BF1FC9 Everlasting Fight]]'', the cameo battle theme. Bare its Fangs, Inferia Battle, Dona Nobis Pacem, and Take Up the Cross. Four of the best battle themes mentioned on this page. Combined into one. And remixed for maximum '''awesome'''.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxrLjWJYfv8&list=PL0D36EDE027BF1FC9 The Arrow Was Shot]]. It's only the first battle theme of the game. Heck, there's even an [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RUSzE4b5GU 8-bit version]] in ''VS''.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MChYuSUDnhI&list=PL0D36EDE027BF1FC9 Time For Farewell]] is a song fitting for the major BossBattle it plays in.

** While less awesome than the above two, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoiCVlUjUkU Midboss 1]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWGAg_KbpNo Inferia Battle]] are still rather nice. But there's also the very awesome [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2FNXEGd7kY Ability Test]], notably used in the cameo battle, and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jgdknzc1bg Eternal Mind]], which also played [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4rxIaty4zM&fmt=18 during the cameo battle]] of ''Abyss''.
** The ''Tales of Versus'' version of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOLWsvJ1xKE&fmt=18 Inferia Battle]] is just awesome. Same goes for the ''Radiant Mythology 2'' versions of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8GZ4he3jGc&fmt=18 Celestia Battle]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GguEgBiKsrU&fmt=18 Ability Test]]
** As well as this version of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mOXlx-NR0k&fmt=18 Eternal Mind]]

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Acj4DXay4e0&fmt=18 Ras' Theme]]. A {{Badass}} theme for a badass character.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Es6Ic8cR9E&fmt=18 Rem's Theme]], a mysterious theme fitting for your first battle against a Governing Craymel. There's also [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XrupMzfCHI&fmt=18 Crisis]] which doubles as the song for OSHI-moments and Shadow's Theme.
** Since we're mentioning OhCrap moments, let's go ahead and add [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ug93Kg6G78U&fmt=18 Hurry!]] which basically plays whenever Crisis isn't playing.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddQhGRXoACE&fmt=18 Encounter]] basically just says, "Hey this guy is important, prepare for a boss battle."

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMahE7pwTjM&fmt=18 Bare Its Fangs]], the battle theme, and its [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jBcLRXc91E&fmt=18 remix]].
*** Even that song got two awesome remixes in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unnA5GWeKIw&fmt=18 Ambush]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEP2gyD7SAI&fmt=18 Surprise Attack]]. The boss music is also awesome. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J65i-J4zWoM&fmt=18 Nightmare]] and its [=TODR=] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVZZ2m2mh3c&fmt=18 version.]]

** Let's add in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CPQL30cgcg main theme]] of the game, shall we? As well, let's add in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90ayqrtGwG4 Common Destiny.]]
** And yet another great theme: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOjCXmbhsEU&fmt=18 Decent]] Into [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk2mULzdvVs&fmt=18 Vice]] is underrated. Same goes with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwlJmYyvcis&fmt=18 Betrayal]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La-4cWbBfzA&fmt=18 Perfidious Act]]

** Let's not forget the sequel's first battle theme, aptly named ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHMrbZ03NBc Theme of Battle]], another great piece by Motoi Sakuraba. Then... there's also Barbatos' {{Leitmotif}} [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHglMq4PZIk Coup de Grace]], as another proof that he's just that damn awesome for a villain.

** Let's not forget the final battle themes. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUKTzwiYVy8&fmt=18 Wheel Of Fortune]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-DNGQuoYpY&fmt=18 ~Last Judgment~]]

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmISQ4Cj180&fmt=18 Short Circuit]] is one of the best tracks in the game.

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' has quite a few pieces as well. For the obligatory DuelBoss battle, we have [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5btglEfiOs8&fmt=18 "Fury Sparks."]] Then there's the final boss theme, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzuP7S57-oY "When Determination Strikes,"]], which is remixed a couple of times for each of the final boss's [[SequentialBoss new]] [[OneWingedAngel forms]]. On the non-battle side, there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inSEpnvr9j4 "Chance for a Big Reversal,"]] which plays during many a CrowningMomentOfAwesome, and of course the game's obligatory AnimeThemeSong, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65DtPZLeBzs Kane wo Narashite]] for Japan and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCsNVud0tUM "Ring a Bell"]] for everyone else, both by BONNIE PINK.

** Don't forget [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsFbJShjbZA Break The Sword To Pieces]].
** From the VideoGameRemake, we get [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1QZ9S0i69c New Day, New Life]]

* ''Every battle theme'' from ''VideoGame/TalesOfRebirth''. Here's a specific example: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m1Oq1J3wPs&fmt=18 The Trial]] which plays whenever you fight one of the Sacred Beasts.
** There's also [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj5SjMWtMu8&fmt=18 The Edge Of An Oath]], the theme that plays when you battle [[BestBossEver Milhaust]]
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hC0_WcSzZ8&fmt=18 Scutum Fang]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svoqJlhFzH8&fmt=18 Scutum Decisive Battle]]. The battle themes of the Four Stars.

** ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siXFqy15W1s&fmt=18 The Look of That Day,]]'' the credits music. You must feel something when you watch it. If there is no pulling at the heartstrings; if the pictures don't get to you, and if the piano doesn't get to you, and if the events that happened don't get to you, there is something wrong with you. Or maybe you're just Jade. (Who still felt ''something'' after all was said and done.)

** ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxH5zaTQHzk Everlasting Fight]]'', the cameo battle theme. Bare its Fangs, Inferia Battle, Dona Nobis Pacem, and Take Up the Cross. Four of the best battle themes mentioned on this page. Combined into one. And remixed for maximum '''awesome'''.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1SFaPaaamI&fmt=18 The Arrow Was Shot]]. It's only the first battle theme of the game. Heck, there's even an [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RUSzE4b5GU 8-bit version]] in ''VS''.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjUJHOgy2B8&fmt=18 Oracle - Coercion]] which plays the first time you fight Asch.

* For ''VideoGame/TalesOfEternia'' you have alot of good tracks as well. One of this editor's' favorites being [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDY6G1R5gEI Mintche]]. So calm and scerene...

** It also has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dZWZw8NOwY&fmt=18 With Courage]], the standard boss battle theme. An incredible piece.
** As well as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR9Skl3p1Eg&fmt=18 I'll Go]], the battle music for the Colosseum [[spoiler:and the Ginnungagap]]. It's certainly good enough to rival [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmUuo_l8dMg&fmt=18 Keen-Edged Blade]].
** The suitably ominous [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STVoanoTj-E&fmt=18 Person Who Conceives Frenzy]], used as [[spoiler: Alice, Decus, and Brute]]'s battle theme.

** The regular battle music [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxubeX1VMME The More That I Try]]. It could easily pass for boss music in any other RPG. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVYOYJRy6c4 Hervest in Sanctuary]] is also a great song.

** Even [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJKeuxjZenA Battle Artist]], the normal battle theme, is really good and catchy.

*** The same can be said about the main theme song of the game, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iIBjNzo9pA good night]] by Every Little Thing.
* ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheTempest'' more than likely isn't a fan favorite TalesSeries game, but come on now, it has some awesome music. Try out [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyUFLvt2hwA Sincerity Solemn]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jjNp1z5MbA Encounter]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrkiSSUgGeI Confrontation]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C27hprbYA6M Difficult Situation]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IUtnqgp7n0 As For Me, National/I Am The State]], and it's theme [[http://www.veoh.com/watch/v16566583SfyMgsJm VS]]

** Symphonia also had an amazing {{Leitmotif}} for pretty much every major character. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ9DbHaza0s Presea]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtIqc4fntKc Sheena]] in particular had awesome themes. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PMJdDZMhoQ Zelos]]' theme is also great, but only if [[YourMileageMayVary you're into that sort of thing]].

** The themes you hear in the Aeropolis ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CzeUMqmkXA Aerial City]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OJHHPF_aiI Concrete]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8d2kMd19CM Hidden Sorrow]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG_VZvSmyBY Scholar]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFUYu1FIvWo Botanical Garden]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IALzbyIdHT0 Attack!]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5dmDM6jJ5s Dead or Alive]]) are fitting for their respective areas ([[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]]).

*** Not to mention the songs played at the end of the game, namely [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX1HGzqQzUs Harmony]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwoNBXNhzN8 Revival]], and of course [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYUAs4Qp_qU Ending Staff Roll]].

** Not to mention [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaZCIUpOLng Dry Trail]]. It gives you the feeling that you are on a epic journey with friends.

** Let's not forget the suitably ominous [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STVoanoTj-E&fmt=18 Person Who Conceives Frenzy]], used as [[spoiler: Alice, Decus, and Brute]]'s battle theme.

** Lets not forget the regular battle music [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxubeX1VMME The More That I Try]]. It could easily pass for boss music in any other RPG. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVYOYJRy6c4 Hervest in Sanctuary]] is also a great song.

** Let's not forget songs such as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQIv7b1TIDA Celestia Battle]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRdPFn2ZPhs Midboss 2]].

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfLegendia'', despite being the red-headed stepchild of the series, had some pretty damn fine tracks in its own right. Such tracks include the hauntingly beautiful [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQn8EVX6TIs Legendary Sourceror]], the super awesome military theme [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fir6zvf7YPE March]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuyCy3HIr4g The Birds Chirp I Sing]],[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlWvhskTRVU To Deliver the Feelings]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eogOtGX24Hc Walter's theme]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU1C5O8cWAU the theme for important boss fights]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxPaoROk9XI the theme of the final dungeon]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB5In73K-Ko the theme of the last boss]], which I qualify as an infinity plus one remix.

* Why has noone mentioned ''every battle theme'' from ''VideoGame/TalesOfRebirth''?
** Here's a more specific example. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m1Oq1J3wPs&fmt=18 The Trial]] which plays whenever you fight one of the Sacred Beasts.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWipsezugak&fmt=18 The Edge of a Decision,]] the second normal battle theme of the game, which has a pretty dang awesome [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-6BiQLA_LM&fmt=18 remix/arrangement.]]

** And [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7nujgtZcxA Before the Demise]]. And [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCaxagbOvQc Follow the Nightingale]]. And [[http://vimeo.com/38379281 say goodbye & good day]]. And [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8CCvrX-Hn0 Releasing the Sword from Here On]]. And...pretty much everything else in that game, really.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrDp8tWZ9sQ&fmt=18 Decisive]], the Dhaos battle music and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tYg-gVMulg&fmt=18 remix]] from ''Eternia''. It's awesome enough to make you say '''[[LargeHam INDIG]][[Narm/VideoGames NAY]][[LargeHam SHUN]]'''!
*** No doubt it's awesome, though it kinda overshadows the other three Dhaos themes are pretty much equally as awesome. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGMHB_Dw0DA Conclusion]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBWoyDSWfuc Who Is Good Or Evil?]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs2kJu-8FdU I Miss You]]

*** And don't forget both Sakuraba's arranged [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uozey7q7fjI version]] and S.S.H.'s [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC3HEJvDTwg remix]] version of it.

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ7FW4lzR5s Fighting of the Spirit]]. That's all.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Esv6U2dCqc0 A Vow of Unity]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xff-I5zD7bI The Villain's Conspiracy and the Mechanical Tower deserve a mention.

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheTempest'' more than likely isn't a fan favorite TalesSeries game, but come on now, it has some awesome music. Try out [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyUFLvt2hwA Sincerity Solemn]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jjNp1z5MbA Encounter]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrkiSSUgGeI Confrontation]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C27hprbYA6M Difficult Situation]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IUtnqgp7n0 As For Me, National/I Am The State]]

** The main theme of the game: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuJBkmDW2bQ&fmt=18 Flying]] by Garnet Crow.

** Let's add in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtjFeFaWAkQ&fmt=18 main theme]] of the game, shall we? As well, let's add in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90ayqrtGwG4 Common Destiny.]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmISQ4Cj180&fmt=18 Short Circuit]] is one of the best tracks in the game.

** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxtPCpPUCdw version]] used in ''[[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia Symphonia]]'' also kicks ass.

***
* Symphonia has the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQDKmsIGO2E Decision]] version of the Last Battle. Not to mention [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upDySvovAYA the arranged version]].

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' has quite a few pieces as well. For the obligatory DuelBoss battle, we have [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5btglEfiOs8&fmt=18 "Fury Sparks."]] Then there's the final boss theme, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzuP7S57-oY "When Determination Strikes,"]], which is remixed a couple of times for each of the final boss's [[SequentialBoss new]] [[OneWingedAngel forms]]. On the non-battle side, there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inSEpnvr9j4 "Chance for a Big Reversal,"]] which plays during many a CrowningMomentOfAwesome, and of course the game's obligatory AnimeThemeSong, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNEcSv6k0sM "Ring a Bell"]] by Bonnie Pink.

* The sequel gives us the truly amazing final battle theme [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqJgRFdbGYM&fmt=18 "The Wilderness of Sadness"]], which really isn't done justice by [=YouTube=] quality.

* ''Tales Of The Tempest'' more than likely isn't a fan favorite TalesSeries game, but come on now, it has some awesome music.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmemz-nYXOU Mamoritai ~White Wishes~]] gets a special mention for not only being beautiful, but for being one of the few ''Tales'' games where the lyrics really suit the theme of the game, and not just [[AnimeThemeSong pure promotion's sake]]. It gets a depressing remix titled, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiEQdjsY3SM Unspoken Feelings]], which plays at some of the most touching moments of the game.

** The opening theme, ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3SA9LuqQgA Yume Wa Owaranai]]'' (''The Dream Will Never Die''). Crowning Music of Awesome indeed because it's not only catchy, but it makes Tales of Phantasia the first game ever on the SNES to have a '''title theme with vocals!''', making it double as the SNES' CrowningMomentOfAwesome!

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzXKiwaomCU Break Through with the Sword]] from Tales of Innocence.
** And [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7nujgtZcxA Before the Demise]]. And [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiIel4_FnjY Follow the Nightingale]]. And [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8CCvrX-Hn0 Releasing the Sword from Here On]]. And...pretty much everything else in that game, really.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLTeDFahSZ4 Refreshing Atmosphere]] is pretty much the Graces version of Vesperia's "Serenade of the Morning Star", in terms of beauty and tranquility.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk8MaVo5VpI&fmt=18 Finish the Promise]], an epic final boss theme that actually works in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzlYsDpYvfY Grand Fonic Hymn]] (a tune you'll hear frequently in battles if you use Tear, and an important storyline thing as well), making it all kinds of awesome.

* ''TalesOfGraces'' also has ass-kicking tracks, particularly the amazing Windol-region battle theme, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoVytcyviSU (Sword) Drawing! Grind!]], as well as the adorably-awesome kid's version, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W05thQyb1Rc Grasp it with All Your Might]], which is played during the prologue.

* ''TalesOfPhantasia'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ7FW4lzR5s Fighting of the Spirit]]. That's all.
** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxtPCpPUCdw version]] used in ''[[TalesOfSymphonia Symphonia]]'' also kicks ass.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-AoP3NOja0&fmt=18 Meaning of Birth]] from ''TalesOfTheAbyss'', which is an orchestral remix of their already awesome opening theme [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqYN5gHDn0k Karma]].

*** And then Motoi Sakuraba got a cameo in the ''TalesOfDestiny'' remake, performing an epic [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytrveWpzKTo piano version]].

* For ''TalesOfEternia'' you have alot of good tracks as well. One of this editor's' favorites being [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDY6G1R5gEI Mintche]]. So calm and scerene...

* ''TalesOfDestiny'' had [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6KHlMvpjzU Leon's battle theme]] and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcw1h0gPxSM final boss theme]]. Both of the songs received [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFu8e5PjwWw awesome]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VXe-fgJO-M remixes]] in the enhanced remake.

* ''TalesOfLegendia'', despite being the red-headed stepchild of the series, had some pretty damn fine tracks in its own right. Such tracks include the hauntingly beautiful [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQn8EVX6TIs Legendary Sourceror]], the super awesome military theme [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fir6zvf7YPE March]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuyCy3HIr4g The Birds Chirp I Sing]],[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlWvhskTRVU To Deliver the Feelings]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eogOtGX24Hc Walter's theme]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU1C5O8cWAU the theme for important boss fights]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxPaoROk9XI the theme of the final dungeon]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB5In73K-Ko the theme of the last boss]], which I qualify as an infinity plus one remix.

* Sakuraba came back for ''TalesOfHearts'', and of course the results rock. A kind {{GameFAQs}}er has [[http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=B1DE204E31042192 archived]] the battle themes.
* ''TalesOfVesperia'' has quite a few pieces as well. For the obligatory DuelBoss battle, we have [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5btglEfiOs8&fmt=18 "Fury Sparks."]] Then there's the final boss theme, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzuP7S57-oY "When Determination Strikes,"]], which is remixed a couple of times for each of the final boss's [[SequentialBoss new]] [[OneWingedAngel forms]]. On the non-battle side, there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inSEpnvr9j4 "Chance for a Big Reversal,"]] which plays during many a CrowningMomentOfAwesome, and of course the game's obligatory AnimeThemeSong, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNEcSv6k0sM "Ring a Bell"]] by Bonnie Pink.

* Why has noone mentioned ''every battle theme'' from ''TalesOfRebirth''?
