@ShakinJamacian looks like your wish is coming true.
@do0rkn0b Nope – it’s true! Look it up online.
“Ogre Battle”, “Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together)”, “The March Of The Black Queen”, are all songs by Queen. The Rhyan Sea is based off of another Queen song titled “The Seven Seas of Rhye”.
@brightonrock74 highly doubt that.
@Anthmasta yeah, both games had the same composer, Hitoshi Sakimoto.
He also did the Final Fantasy XII OST
Soundtrack reminds me of final fantasy tactics. any relation?
damn great music for 1993. Even way back in the early/mid 90s when I was ten years old I knew the music in this game was great.
@ShakinJamacian You really want square to take a shit on this series like it’s recently taken a shit on every other thing else that’s ever been good? You want your Ogre Battle filled with ATB bars, half of the development money spent on graphics and CG movies, spikey-haired anime cliches, and an angsty main character with amnesia who saves the world from a gender-confused villian who will probably have a great music theme but very little actual character development?
One of my favorite themes at 7:07. It’s too bad we didn’t see a revival of Wall of Defense in Ogre Battle 64.
LIBERATION!
LUCKY!
This…. This is the greatest song EVER. OF ALL TIME!
FUCK YEAH
What is the song at 1:36? It is awesome!
I have played this game many times (I even own the rare SNES version) and I love it.
But someone please tell me the name of that song! Thanks!
one of the best is at 2:14 great vibe and atmosphere
3:12 best track in game, bar-none
OB64 looked absolutely gorgeous, but was far too easy. Still a pretty fun game, though.
I had the strategy guide for this game, got all 10 endings and played the shit out of it, I would say this is my favorite game of all time
FINALLY this game came to the PAL virtual console. Been waiting for this one for a long time
Awesome music too ^_^
It is indeed. The makers of the game were huge fans of Queen.
Very good, then; thank you.
YES! My favorite song from the series. I couldn’t find a remix of it in ogre battle 64 tho
That’s just the way this author does his videos, he uses some gameplay as the background instead of a static image.
I never knew that — thanks. What I was actually referring to, though, was the apparent misplacement of the songs; rather than just a few songs that should have come at various stages, it sounds like every one of the game’s tracks was being played throughout the demo.
The SNES had a unique reverbaration crystal that made a lot of very unique sounds and soundtracks which was difficult to then replicate on other systems. I remember early SNES emulators even had a very hard to duplicating it.
Wow — the original SNES version. But the music seems way off from the Playstation remake — it almost sounds like the songs were being cycled through, separately from the in-game track. But thanks for putting this up.
The creator of the Ogre Battle series was a huge fan of Queen, hence the name.
