Just Persona 5 things

Music (II): Tales battle themes.

Rate this Entry
All right, let's do this. I will be using only one of each game, the one I like the most. Opinions and everything.

Tales of Phantasia - Take up the cross. VS Arrange.

The normal battle theme. While the original is awesome, the Tales of VS arrange takes it up in a more tranceish way. Gives a more desperate feeling.

Tales of Destiny - Lion ~Irony of Fate~. PS2 Remake Arrange

The One Winged Angel of the Tales Series. Honestly it was a toss up between this one and the piano Arrange one but in the end, this one won, though there was no important reason as to why.

Tales of Eternia - Eternal Mind. Abyss Arrange.

A triumphant song that is used against you. Fast paced, with no rest and always on a high note. The best Eternia song.

Tales of Destiny 2 - Coup de Grbce.

NO ITEMS EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER. That's all.

Tales of Symphonia - Beat the Angel

The song that plays against Zelos. A song filled with sorrow and a negative and yet positive feel. There's an arragement on Graces F but it lacks the bells. The bells are important.

Tales of Rebirth - Edge of an Oath

While I have not played Rebirth, this song is awesome if only because it keeps a somber motive while still being triumphant.

Tales of Legendia - Seeking Victory. VS Arrange.


The best legendia song. The boss battle. A song of hardship. The VS arrange adds a lot more epic to an already epic song.

Tales of the Abyss - Meaning of Birth.

The best song of all the tales. Not the song per se, which is good, but because of its context. It's Abyss obligatory duel track but unlike the other Tales, this duel solves the very climax of the story. The other parts are the epilogue. The fact that is an instrumental version of the main theme, Karma, just adds a bit more to it.

Tales of Innocence - Break Through With the Sword. Radiant Mythology Arrange.

Innocence battle theme. And what a battle theme. While the original is good, this one is better by having more instruments. The VS arrange is hit or miss however.

Tales of Vesperia - Fury Sparks.

Another Duel track. Unlike many others, this one is more light but still pretty awesome. Is the battle between two ideals that are held by the best friends. There's an arrange that makes it more Rock-like if that's your thing.

Tales of Hearts - Mysterious Arms Soma. VS Arrange.

The main battle theme. The VS is faster and it has a somber feel but still epic.

Tales of Graces - Grasp it with all your might.


The prologue battle theme. This one is lighter than the other ones and more simple. My opinion will change when I get to play Graces F I'm sure.

Tales of Xillia - 8attle for a Future to Believe In.

The Final boss theme. Again not having played Xillia this is a placeholder. Unlike with Graces this one may not change.

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World/Knight of Ratatosk - The Wilderness of Sadness.

The Final boss theme. Yeah the game sucks. Yeah the plot sucks. Yeah Emil and Marta are hit or miss. Shut up, this song makes up for it.

Next week, another themed recommendation.

    Good choices, but still:

    Tales of Innocence is really hard to choose. After all, it has some pretty good dramatic music in my opinion.

    Coup de Grbce has that touch that really fits Barbatos, but Wheel of Fortune is just a generally better theme, I think.

    Tales of Legendia already has a great soundtrack, so linking all the good ones would be too much work, but I feel like Raging Nerifes really deserves a mention.

    And I am sick of Eternal Mind for some reason. It has probably to do with the fact that most of the battles in the ACS fighting game was on the Eternia coliseum, where that song played, though. >_>;

    Well Irony of Fate is indeed pretty awesome.

    NEVEEEEEEEEER.

    And yeah Innoncence has pretty good music. I honestly don't remember much of Destiny's 2 OST so I went for the safe option. And I didn't want to link all of Legendia's OST. Even though I should.
