History AwesomeMusic / Xenogears

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsBwAb4ysGQ "One Who Bares Fangs at God"]] can ONLY be heard during the AntiClimaxBoss fight with [[spoiler:Urobolus/Miang]] even though it's one of the best songs in the game. Which serves to redouble on the final battle's [[SubvertedTrope subversive]] principle -- both the battle and the accompanying music are anything but the standard FinalBoss fare, for dramatic purpose.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBriJWTZctI Gathering Stars in the Night Sky]]" is sappy, but instantly endearing.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvRKi5wSos0 Flight]] since whenever that music plays, you know a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome is gonna happen. Even more awesome: It is the first (and currently only) ''Xenogears'' track to be featured on ''VideoGame/TheatrhythmFinalFantasy''.
** Flight's softer and more emotional remix, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-NIKFQlLcU Gathering Stars in the Night Sky]], is more subtle and every bit as good.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIzmMizFVE0 "Small Two of Pieces"]], the [[NarmCharm wonderfully cheesy]] PowerBallad that closes out the game. The Orchestral version of "Small Two of Pieces" is even more heartwrenching, especially when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c2KKPBii9o edited into the ending FMV.]] Its unreleased sister piece, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48DS6T2NJMQ Stars of Tears]]", is noteworthy as well, as is its in-game instrumental version, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5WOyV4RaT4 Sentiment]]".

* "Bonds of Sea and Fire" is truly beautiful.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BQ6PeyzxDk Shevat -The Wind Is Calling-]]. Simply beautiful.

** And those who enjoy epic boss music should definitely check out "Awakening".

* Id's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miOizLxOD4E "The One Who is Torn Apart."]] It can only be described as haunting.

* Most of the soundtrack, but especially [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIzmMizFVE0 "Small Two of Pieces"]] and "Creid." The Orchestral version of Small Two of Pieces is even more heartwrenching, especially when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c2KKPBii9o edited into the ending FMV.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dKpeTEBYIA The One Who Bares Fangs At God]], easily one of the best examples of beyond EPIC Final Boss Music.

Even if you've never even seen the opening movie, you can tell just by listening to it that something inexplicable and unearthly is going on.

* Are we forgetting [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9kl4gmcIbw "Grahf, Emperor of Darkness"]]? When this comes on, it's obvious that either a boss is about to get a powerup or ''you are about to have your ass kicked.''

** VGM remixer Star Salzman has melded "Omen" and "Dazil: City of Burning Sands" into a dark, powerful masterwork known as "Pillar of Salt." Listen to it here: http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01225/
