FIGHTING OF THE SPIRIT（ARRANGE VERSION）Sakuraba Motoi

Tales of Phantasia – Fighting of The Spirit Arranged

The first title in the Tales series, Tales of Phantasia, was released in 1995.

It’s the very first step in the history of a hugely popular RPG series that would go on to see many releases, and it was a Super Famicom title.

Throughout the series, bands and singers have been brought in for the theme songs, creating dramatic presentations.

But it’s not just that—the in-game BGM is also highly acclaimed.

The first game’s battle track, “FIGHTING OF THE SPIRIT,” is a piece that delivers a strong sense of presence.

Nine Thou (Grant Mohrman Superstars Remix)Styles of Beyond

Nine Thou (Grant Mohrman Superstars Remix)

It’s a downer, heavy, and insanely cool hip-hop track.

It’s a song by Styles of Beyond, a group from Los Angeles, and it was used as background music in the racing game Need for Speed: Most Wanted.

I say “racing game,” but unlike typical ones, the main mission is to evade the police, and the world feels like a pretty lawless zone.

This track perfectly matches that gritty setup and fires you up with a “Let’s do this!” vibe.

Battle! Team Aqua / Team MagmaMasuda Junichi

[Pokemon ORAS] Battle! Team Magma / Team Aqua

The battle theme for the opposing forces, Team Aqua and Team Magma—the enemy factions in the Pokémon series remakes Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

With this level of immersion, you’d absolutely think it’s a boss theme! But surprisingly, it’s actually the BGM for regular characters.

The musical worldbuilding is incredibly deep—you can feel the passion poured into this work.

The arrangements, which are based on battle themes from past entries, are unbelievably cool.

Listening to it might just make you want to set off on another adventure!

Yell “Dead Cell”Hibino Norihiko

Metal Gear Solid Sound: 'Yell Dead Cell'

Metal Gear Solid 2, released for the PlayStation 2 in 2011.

It’s a popular title known for its engaging story and exhilarating combat, and the battle BGM for the section known as the “Plant Chapter” is “Yell “Dead Cell.”” Many of you might recall the tension of hiding in those cardboard boxes and the sweaty palms from gripping the controller.

You can almost hear that sound that signals the enemy’s attack is about to begin.
