Music So Awesome It Makes The Yozis Cry

OPs and EDs

• Alter Bridge - Metalingus [OP #1]

Yeah, yeah, I know. Still, it's rocktacular, it's got the perfect lyrics for awesome, and it gets the blood pumping. The fact that WWE's own Edge happens to use it also doesn't factor in at all. Even though I like him. Yes, I like wrasslin'. G'way.

• Yngwie Malmsteen - Rising Force [OP #2]

THE LIGHTNING STRIKES, CRACKING THE NIGHT! I'M NOT THE SAME ANYMORE, NO! THUNDER AND SPARK, IN THE HEART OF THE DARK! I FEEL A RISING FORCE! Yngwie is the goddamn man, and this song gave this campaign its name.

• Muse - Butterflies and Hurricanes [OP #3]

You've got to be the best. You've got to change the world, and use this chance to be heard. YOUR TIME IS NOW.

• Coldplay - Speed of Sound [ED #1]

I always imagined this being the song playing in the ED, where Rio's [SPOILER] is [SPOILER]ing along across the ocean, and you just get this long pan-and-zoom of the group chilling at the fore of the ship, looking Resolute and Serious.

• Apartment 26 - Resolve [ED #2]

This one is the odd ED sequence one. Y'know, weird colors, symbolism, naked bodies, stuff like that. Mebbe... I dunno, First Age and Second Age incarnations floating next to one another? Tiffa doesn't like this one, though. ;_;

• Bush feat. Apocalyptica - Letting The Cables Sleep [ED #3]

Hrm. Nice and lazy and quasi-depressing. Maybe group walk-through-Creation dealie? Bah, dunno.

BATTLE!

• Apocalyptica - No Education [Standard Battle #1]

It's Apocalyptica. Only total heathens can't like this. Are you a heathen? Thought not!

• Apocalyptica - Quutamo [vs. The Inauspicious Signs]

... who are the Signs? That would be telling.

• Apocalyptica - Somewhere About Nothing [Major Battle #1]

Lovelovelove Apoc. This was the first song of theirs I discovered, and I've not looked back since.

• Badmarsh and Shri - Sitar Ritual [Unusual Battle]

Reserved mostly for odd situations that aren't quite lethal and/or direct. Social combat, maybe?

• Blind Guardian - Theater of Pain (Orchestral Version) [Destined Battle]

Reserved for serious plothook fights and perhaps those other five Solars wandering around...

• Bond - Libertango [vs. The Fair Folk]

Another excellent group, and a damn awesome song that fits the whole 'it's beautiful and freaky KILL IT' vibe of a faeriefight.

• Dargaard - Dark Horizons [vs. The Yozi]

Is apparently a song about being lost at sea in a terrible storm. Only this thing sounds kinda dire and sinister. Me likey.

• In Flames - Dialogue with the Stars [vs. The Sidereals]

There's bound to be a Siddy out there with a bone to pick eventually.

• In Flames - Whoracle [vs. ????]

[NOT UNLOCKED!]

• Muse - Apocalypse Please [Critical Battle]

Because sometimes it's either win or... bad shit happens.

• Nine Inch Nails - Getting Smaller [vs. Heroic Mortals]

Because this song just SCREAMS 'I got upstaged by the goddamn Exalted!' with sound and fury.

• Nine Inch Nails - The Collector [vs. Raksha Nobles]

I have this net. It drags behind me. It picks up feelings for me to feed upon.

• Persuader - Godfather [vs. ????]

[NOT UNLOCKED!]

• Rage - End of Eternity [vs. The Abyssals]

Actually not a doom-and-gloom song! It fits more with the Abyssal's true goals...

• Thrice - Under A Killing Moon [vs. The Lunars]

Yes, I'm gonna use the Lunars. No, they're not going to suck.

• Twelve Girls Band - Yangguan [Battle In The Realm]

Is mellow for battle, but has that nice Asian bend that makes it perfect for Realm combat. In my view, anyway.

• Yasunori Mitsuda - Confrontation [Battle In Sea and Sky]

... yes, it's the Chrono Cross guy. No, this isn't from a game. He made a CD. It's nice stuff.

• Yuki Kajiura - Canta Per Me [vs. Secret Boss Matra]

This'll take a little explaining. Matra was the super-plotpoint busty farmgirl from my almost-finished D&D game Weaver's Song. There have been a couple of Weaver's Song references in Rising Force (like the Scalded Dog), so I took the 'joke' a step further. Then again, Matra MAY be in Creation...

Location, Location, Location!

• Angelzoom - Fairyland [Rakshastan]

Angelzoom's nice, even if they did a cover of Crawling. This is a nice lyric-fits song, too.

• Apocalyptica - Ruska [The North]

You want bleak-sounding? There you go! Imagine icicles on your nose now!

• Bond - Oceanic [The West]

... and off to flowing and smooth, which the West usually is...

• Bond - Sahara [The South]

... and move to more dramatic and Mideastern-y for the South! Yay Bond twofer.

• Koko Komine - Reincarnation [The Nameless Circle's Tomb]

You HAVE to have this playing while reading that log. You simply have to.

• Twelve Girls Band - Life On Clouds [Yu-Shan]

You know they're gonna go visit the Gods eventually.

• Twelve Girls Band - Tang Court Ensemble [The Imperial City]

I got a comment from Will about how all the Realm music so far is asian in flavor. Unintentional, but I might keep it that way.

• Vanessa-Mae - City Theme [????]

[NOT UNLOCKED!]

• Vanessa-Mae - Warm Air [The East]

Nice and calm and soothing, unlike the actual East. :P

• Yasunori Mitsuda - Rhythm of Red [Solace]

Solace's theme! Yay Solace!
