I had the biggest smile on my face when this song first started playing because it has such an old-school classic Uematsu sound to it. I remember I called my wife in from the other room and cranked the volume up, even though I'm in an apartment. So when that guitar kicked in the first time it was super loud, fully unexpected and scared me half to death. Great times.
Not sure why the song is design this way but it make for some funny moment, I remember hen I discover this I was still in my parent's home, I took a break on the World Map to take a coffee, my dad (he was playing the game to, but he didn't know either about the guitar part) and I were discussing in the kitchen and suddenly the guitar kicks in and we were both like "The fuck is this ?" XD
Lost Odyssey really is one of the best and most underrated games put there. Beautiful world building, ost, story, and just everything about the game is just so gorgeous and more people need to play it. As for the gameplay, it's a turn based jrpg, made by the OG creators of Final Fantasy. I just adore everything about this game
Uematsu understands perfectly the musical context he has to add to a scene. This song is just playing in the world map menu. Not many would write such a touching melody for a freaking travel menu. Because it usually is of no big importance. But in the case of Lost Odyssey, featuring an immortal who kept travelling the world over the course of a thousand years, more often than not suffering from his aimlessness and the endless cycles of war and tragedy he encounters....it is really important to set a proper mood, even for the simplest of journeys. Fantastic work from him, as always.
One of the amazing songs I'd forgotten about right up until I heard that flute. Best world song since Eternal Wind. Also, dat Uematsu guitar addition...chef's kiss.
Real happy to see this song here and that you enjoyed it so much! Lost Odyssey is an rpg made by the studio, Mistwalker which was founded by Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of Final Fantasy. Between that and Nobuo Uematsu composing, it basically feels like a Final Fantasy by another name. There are even some little references. I've always loved the main part of the song and was completely caught off guard and uncertain about the guitar part at first, but now I just love the whole thing.
Amazing song, my favourite from "Lost Odyssey", reminds me a bit "Terra's Theme" from Final Fantasy VI, maybe because of flute, another very catchy song, I love especially that old version from SNES, I think you could like it. ;) Two more beautiful and memorable songs from "Final Fantasy" are "Zanarkand" from FFX and "The Place I'll Return to Someday" from FFIX, these more theme/main songs, but amazing. And all three songs I mentioned are by Nobuo Uematsu.
I will never forget the first time I heard the whole song in its entirety. I went to the map screen and left the game there to go get some food and as I came back to the room the guitar just started shredding and I was amazed at what I was hearing. Most of the time you are on this screen for no longer than 20 seconds so there was never going to be a time where I would have heard the entire song unless it was by accident
Microsoft needs to pay Mistwalker Studios so much money to make a sequel to this. I didn't play this until the xbox one was already out. Played through the backwards compatibility in about 2016. But THIS was the true ff13 for me. I love ff13 but THIS is where FF should have gone in the 360 era. And it makes sense considering the father of FF was the director along with Nobuo Uematsu composing. What an incredible game this was as someone who missed that feeling of older FF games.
I never really noticed how awesome that tune was until I let the game run while looking something up in the walkthrough I was using. When the guitar kicked in, it was literally another Metal Gear Rising moment for me.
I didn't like the 'major' one that followed either, which is The Last Story. The gameplay was okay, but it being unbalanced made a lot of the mechanics useless. If you're struggling for a bit, there's a way to easily grind levels very quickly allowing you to power through gimmick sections that would otherwise require strategy. In fact, it would be harder to stay on-level in that game even on the hard mode. Doesn't help that the story surrounding the main couple is complete trash and is easily among the worst romance stories in gaming.

A great thing about this theme is the music influences from traditional music of the Andes mountains. If you want to listen to music like this, look into Chilean and Peruvian Andean folklore music. A band that combines that music with 70's progressive rock was the Chilean band, Los Jaivas. There's surely others, but I can recommend that one.
The story/characters overal are really good too. The villain and final showdown are sadly the weakest parts, but the ending is still good despite that. The game's an amazing Final Fantasy game in all but its name.
Hi there Uncle Jesse! Back on my feet and all better from sickness. You just listened to my favourite map music track of any game ever. Lost Odissey is such a gem of a game, that only released on Xbox 360 and it is considered, by many rpg fans, as one of the bests non Final Fantasy games made by Sakaguchi-san with an amazing score made by Uematsu-san. So, once again, some more music sugestions for you: - Epsylon Range - Lost Odissey; - A Mighty Enemy Appears- Lost Odissey; - Saman, Town of Merchants - Lost Odissey; - Battle with the Demons- Lost Odissey: - Dark Saint - Lost Odissey; - Main Theme - Lost Odissey. You said you wanted more from this game, so there you go. Man, I wish more people could have played this game. It is so good on so many levels, especialy how the game deals with mortality and the passage of time. Cheers, stay safe and happy VGMs to us all
Lost Odyssy is probably one of the most impressive rpgs I've played. Its not even the combat or grapics for the time but the story and the massive amount of history created for the characters. Kaim's memories are amoung the most heart wrenching short stories about love survival forgivness and tragedy. I think at least 3 made me cry and they have such a beautiful way of presenting them. If you dont want to journey through the game definately find some videos or such about the stories. They will tear your heart and mend it at the same time.
Oh, if you want to hear the theme actually sung, we may have good news, the main theme of the game (just called "Main Theme") that is at the end of the OST, is actually sung (and it's pretty divine).
Lost Odyssey is traditional turn based JRPG made with same feeling, style and love as Final Fantasies 7-9. It tells a story of Kaim, man who was cursed(?) with eternal life. At the start of the game he is already 10 000 years old. Through the game you go and gather his memories all around the world, at the same time the player starts slowly to understand why Kaim is so distant to others. He had learned that in his Neverending Journey everyone around him will die and so he struggles to find meaning for his existence. Lost Odyssey is really beautiful game released for Xbox360 in 2007.
I like a good flute in a song, but something that I like more is actually the Oboe. Something about it's unique sound that strikes me. A good example is River of Souls from Turok 2.
By far the best jrpg I ever played. Soundtrack amazing, story legitimately interesting, characters compelling, gameplay fun and rewarding. To me this was the 360 game to own, all four discs of it haha. Thank god they BC it on Xbox one
A song that also comes from this game is called Roar of the Departed Souls. It is an absolutely mind blowing piece of music that has just about everything you could ask for in a arrangement.
All music in this game was composed and produced by Nobuo Uematsu, so I get what you mean when you're talking about good melodies. One of Uematsu's greatest strengths is the melody itself. I'll also throw it out there that there are 2 other people who also worked on the music of the game: Satoshi Henmi and Hiroyuki Nakayama. Uematsu composed everything but Henmi and Nakayama arranged everything in the end. Unfortunately, we'll never know who arranged which track since the OST booklet doesn't specify it.
@@thenonexistinghero Ok look...this goes to both of you: I don't know why this is such a popular thing to do among FF fans, but why do we have to insist that X game is "the true X FF"? Pretty much anything made by Square or anyone to do with original FF immediately gets this treatment and it's just so silly to measure a game's quality by if it's a Final Fantasy or not or to keep labelling things as one
@@leftymu It's an FF game in all but its name. Mechanically/gameplay, story, design, music, etc. And FFXI is an MMO and isn't really a main FF game. As such, this fights right in there between X and XII as the real FFXI.
The game where disillusioned FF fans went to after the FFXIII debacle. "The true FFXIII" Also, about "memorable melodies", I find that Square(soft and Enix) composers (those who are still working or the former employees) are the best at those. Uematsu, Mitsuda, Hamauzu, Shimomura, Fukui, Sekito, Mizuta, Tanioka, even Soule are extremely good at it.
Excuse me new here would you reacr to The last remnant Out of control battle theme and maybe even listen to the other soundtracks all of them are rock and roll and I love it

Ah yes, the MAP SCREEN music for one of my favorite games.
THE MAP SCREEN.
*THIS IS THE MAP SCREEN*.
Lost Odyssey really is one of the best and most underrated games put there. Beautiful world building, ost, story, and just everything about the game is just so gorgeous and more people need to play it.
As for the gameplay, it's a turn based jrpg, made by the OG creators of Final Fantasy. I just adore everything about this game
I had so much fun with this game. I wish there was a sequel/another game in this universe
@@Tarknaal I just wish they would make the game available on more platforms. even just a direct port
The Thousand Years of Dreams deserve their own shout out... and the music again, for good measure.
Uematsu understands perfectly the musical context he has to add to a scene.

One of the amazing songs I'd forgotten about right up until I heard that flute. Best world song since Eternal Wind. Also, dat Uematsu guitar addition...chef's kiss.
The flute is actually a leitmotif used throughout Lost Odyssey. It's also the theme song.
There would be a lot of moments I would just sit on the world map to jam to this song while playing Lost Odyssey. It's just so good! Lol
I've never realised until just now how much happiness it brings me, seeing someone enjoying and appreciating something that I love.
I love how once again, 'less is more' has come up for a Uematsu track. A truly masterful composer
Goosebumbs every single time this song man this song
I've always been of the opinion that Lost Odyssey doesn't get enough praise.
Agreed, it's most likely because it was a jrpg xbox exclusive, which is odd

Lost Odyssey has an amazing soundtrack. Blue Dragon as well from the same developer & composer.
I love how you say Blue Dragon like they aren't literally known as the grandfathers of Final Fantasy and it's music.
The only game ever where i look at my map for the music. This is genuinely one of the best game songs ever composed.
Classic jrpg, modern.
"Dark saint also is a great song
This game is the most emotional story i have ever seen back in the days

And it makes sense considering the father of FF was the director along with Nobuo Uematsu composing. What an incredible game this was as someone who missed that feeling of older FF games.
I think it's worth mentioning, Lost Odyssey is primarily Nobuo Uematsu
Huh? Isn't it all Uematsu?
I never really noticed how awesome that tune was until I let the game run while looking something up in the walkthrough I was using. When the guitar kicked in, it was literally another Metal Gear Rising moment for me.
Wow, Lost Odyssey...this is a game I havent seen in a long time...Sakaguchi's last large scale JRPG

Lost Odyssey was part of my childhood, but I never knew about the part at 2:13 o.o

I need to play this game
You will not be disappointed when you get to it. It's just so amazing and criminally underrated
Best way* ... CZcams not letting me edit my post in mobile

It sounds like a Peruvian song, a song from Los Andes.

I remember playing this for the first time and getting to that first memory (the one with the little girl). Early 20s me broke down at the end of it.
Oh, if you want to hear the theme actually sung, we may have good news, the main theme of the game (just called "Main Theme") that is at the end of the OST, is actually sung (and it's pretty divine).
Lost Odyssey reaction plus you bring up Buckethead? Finding this channel was definitely a w.
It's been such a long time since I played this game I'd completely forgotten how good the music is.

One of my favourite jrpg of all time :)
oh my God I've been waiting for this one

I have this one song in a playlist on spotify by itself and just loop it 😅
Also love your videos I respect people who love music seen your kingdom hearts music videos love them
i want him to hear howl of the departed
I did on this channel!
You really should listen to Lost Odyssey's battle theme "The Gun Barrel of Battle". It also is incredible!
Also one more thing like lost odyssey music listen to the arena battle theme rock and electronic love it
Wait till you hear the main theme if you haven't heard it yet. Leitmotif!
Another great track from this game is "Howl of the departed". Just know it's as weird as drift from guilty gear
check my channel ;)
Nice pokemon bgm i love it
Simplest way to explain Lost Odyssey is Final Fantasy XIII but GOOD lol.
I'd say it's the real FFXI.
@@thenonexistinghero Ok look...this goes to both of you: I don't know why this is such a popular thing to do among FF fans, but why do we have to insist that X game is "the true X FF"?

Funny that they went to this after FFXIII since this came out 2 years before FF13 did.
Don't forget Kikuta, of Secret of Mana fame.
Excuse me new here would you reacr to The last remnant Out of control battle theme and maybe even listen to the other soundtracks all of them are rock and roll and I love it
Btw the Game is an rpg about immortals sooo jeah XD
I remember lost odyssey, I loved the game but never finished it because it kept killing my xbox 360. i red ringed 3 xbox with this game.
It's BC on x1 and series consoles if you have those or ever plan to get one in the future
