Awesome Music / Wild ARMs

Wild ARMs has some popular songs, but the series as a whole is known for having a really fine soundtrack.

---

• Wild ARMs. Michiko Naruke's amazing compositions are frequently cited as one of the best aspects of the series.
  • On the softer side, there's the intro, Into the Wilderness, and Rudy's theme.
  • There are also several amazing boss themes, including Zed, Boomerang Flash, and Janus.
  • This arrangement of the Port Town theme is just amazing.
  • Wild ARMs has the best Inn fanfare. EVER.
  • Lone Bird in the Shire, aka Michiko Naruke's "The Ecstasy of Gold", arrange version. Walking/running all over the world map feeling like the Man With no Name gives off a ton of badass vibes.
• Wild ARMs 2:
  • The game has one of the best standard boss themes.
  • The intro, You'll Never Be Alone. A remix was used for the final battle, Lord Blazer, which combines Theme Music Power-Up with Moment of Awesome with this trope with The Power of Friendship with And This Is for....
  • Meanwhile, the overseas version replaced the Japanese vocals with an awesome trumpet solo, which some fans actually like more than the original.
  • While most of the game's dungeon themes are pretty good, Heimdal Gazzo is one of the best in the series. Heroic and empowering, it makes the dungeon of the same name one to remember.
• Wild Arms Alter Code: F, the Playstation 2 Remake of the original game, has a whole new OST with some remixed songs from the first game and some original songs. Some examples are the peaceful Adlehyde Castle Town, the happy Rows of Houses, and the ridiculously catchy Puzzle
  • If we're going the talk about Boomerang Flash, we should probably also mention his theme from the Updated Re-release, War Demon. Which plays now during ALL of his battles. And is awesome.
• Wild ARMs 3 has more awesome tunes, particularly "FATE Breaker" and "Flying in the Mists of the Storm", though there are several dozen tracks that would easily fit this category. The ending theme, Wings, has cemented its place as the best ending song of any game, ever (only the one used in the US, though; the Japanese version is nowhere near as powerful, and the version in the US game is not available on any soundtrack; it has to be ripped from the game OST.)

• Wild ARMs 4:
  • "Gun Blaze" is an incredible normal battle theme that captures the Wild Western spirit of the games — and parts of it are also taken from the main theme of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
  • Buried City is an interesting song that slowly builds up and adds new instruments as it goes on.

• Wild ARMs 5:
  • "On the Day The Shovel Was Named Invincible" (aka Dean's theme), possibly the catchiest, most toe-tapping tune of any game, ever. Also, the battle theme, "When the Heart Ignites", is one of the best "normal" battle tunes anywhere.
  • Justice To Believe. Nothing like kicking the final boss' ass to the tune of a Hot-Blooded Nana Mizuki sung Theme Music Power-Up.
  • "Terrible Monster Attacking Crew!", possibly the most badass "normal boss battle" theme in the series.
  • At The Frozen Depths of Heart is a great battle tune.
