TERRA BATTLE
Ah, Terra Battle. A lovely, but sadly mobile game. While I don’t love it as much as I love Mistwalker’s previous games, I still play it quite a lot and listen to its soundtrack. A few years after version 2 of the gamerip, which included new music by Kenji Ito, Yoko Shimomura and Yasunori Mitsuda, I present version 3, which comes with 42 new tracks, including two vocal themes, music by Hitoshi Sakimoto (of FFXII fame) and Keiichi Okabe (NieR), an unused track by Kenji Ito, and much more.
Terra Battle 2 was also released recently, with another lovely soundtrack by Nobuo Uematsu which I spent a lot of time and effort to rip. Check it out here (Thread 219725)!
AUDIO QUALITY
On the game’s server, most of this music was encoded as MP3 with a 128kbps bitrate and 48kHz sample rate. The actual music, however, is 32kHz, and the game seems to save the files on your device as 96kbps 32kHz MP3 files. In order to maintain the best possible quality, I made sure to get the files directly from the server and not re-encode them as 128kbps as I did with the first rip, but save them as relatively high-quality VBR files. In some tracks, the quality is much better – they are almost losslessly encoded. Can you find out which? 🙂
I did not include the high-quality music from the iTunes EP, which you can find here:

BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD
As you may have noticed, I have nothing but respect and admiration for Mistwalker. It is my favorite game studio at the moment, and I want to support them any way I can. That’s why I posted this soundtrack, hoping that music this good would definitely get more people to play their game. Just a reminder: TERRA BATTLE is now available on Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mistwalkercorp.guardians&hl=en) and the App Store (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/terra-battle/id888628623)!
If you download this, please support Mistwalker by downloading the game!
And who knows, you might even like the game and keep playing it! In fact, if you take your time to look at it, it’s pretty likely that you will! 😀

I think there should be an automatic system on these forums. If MP3s are lower than 256 kbps, then your topic is deleted. MP3s that are as low as 128 kbps should be cause for imprisonment for the murdering of our ears.

This music is, as LSK said above, indeed in its original quality. For better quality, I guess we’ll have to wait for Mistwalker to make the official soundtrack available online.
Using 128 kbps MP3s is a very logical decision though. As a developer, when your Android game downloads its data dynamically before starting a level, you usually can’t afford much better quality than that. Besides, have you listened to the music? It doesn’t sound bad at all. It’s partly due to the decision the developers made to save their audio as joint stereo in order to improve the quality. 🙂
128? Why even bother?
Can’t anyone enjoy great music without looking at the numbers?
If this can provide some comfort, a 128kbps joint stereo MP3 is in most cases better quality than a 160kbps normal stereo one. It’s usually close to the quality you’d expect from 192kbps.
Besides, nobody that I know of has complained about the music quality in FFX HD, while that game used 192kbps (also joint stereo) MP3s. And that was on the PS3! You can expect these kinds of things from a mobile game, but not from a PS3 game. So why didn’t people complain?
Now I’m complaining about it.
Why didn’t you just do blu-ray rips like the others?
Still, it’s disheartening to see how logic doesn’t often come into play, nowadays, in regards to piracy:
– Look at this particular case: You don’t own this game? At the time of this post, you aren’t supposed/entitled to enjoy its music, since it isn’t available anywhere else.
– You don’t own a goddamn CD? Then, even a lossy-to-lossy transcode is still a lot more than what you deserve to have. Folks seem to forget that even lossy files are, in most cases, sourced off the actual CD.
Doing so will help Mistwalker, Uematsu-san and yourself, because at 2 million downloads we get a console version. Hironobu Sakaguchi has said that the console version wouldn’t be a port but something new entirely, placing the strategic element of Terra Battle in a 3D world. This will definitely require new music, so do everyone a favor and start preparing your smartphones and tablets for Thursday! 😀
Anyway, the new battle song with the 100k download starter is in the game now. I’ll upload it here so you don’t have to go digging through the game files again. Taken straight from the game without a loop

After listening through your rip, I found that you’re missing 3 files. A song and 2 jingles

For some reason I can’t get the new track link to work. Is anyone else having any issues? The page loads fine but when I click download it just sticks on "starting" and never starts. I tried importing it to my mega acct and it moved over there just fine, but still wont download. Ive tried Chrome/IE on 2 separate PCs to try to rule out issues on my end with no luck. The other link works just fine though. Odd. Thanks for uploading them though!
EDIT: In the time it took me to write this post it seems to have fixed itself. Even more odd!

You’re welcome! As for your question, the game downloads all of its assets from a server. You can find its base address hard-coded in a DLL file somewhere. It uses that base address and appends something like "/data/android/BGM/BGM01.bin" to it to get a URL for every asset it needs. The game is made with Unity, so with that in mind you should be able to find a program that decrypts the *.bin files exactly like the game does, before it stores the decrypted data in the OBB cache you extracted. The *.bin files also contain the loop data. 🙂
As expected, the first "new" track by Uematsu was included in the game from the beginning. It’s track 8 – "Braving the Battle" in my rip, and the song I didn’t include is just a segment of the main theme, so it’s a duplicate. The jingles are a nice find though! I’ll search for them on the server a bit before adding them to my rip, as your files seem to be of lower quality (96kbps and 32kHz). Strange. I wonder if the game actually scales the music quality down even further after downloading, as the files on the server are in 128kbps and 48kHz.
Also, I have to admit I’m a bit let down that Mistwalker decided that a "wordwide" release meant a release in Japan, the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, France, and Spain. They didn’t even say anything about that beforehand. I’m sure it will be released in my country in the future but I just don’t understand why they didn’t release it everywhere at the same time.

Ah, good to know, thanks! I was kind of wondering why the new battle song sounded familiar to me, I already ripped it and forgot about it.
That also explains why my files were lower quality, I didn’t know there was any way of finding their server.
One more question, you mention a DLL file with the address. Is that a dll file in the game’s apk or somewhere else on the system?

I don’t really like making that info public, so I’ve sent you a PM with it. 🙂
On another note, I haven’t been able to find the jingles yet on the server. Perhaps they’re stored among the sound files in the apk. I’ll take a look as soon as I have time.
128? Why even bother?
Unless you have enhanced hearing, most humans cannot detect the difference between 128 and 320. That’s not an opinion, it’s a fact.
People just THINK because it’s bigger that it’s better. That isn’t always the case. Just saying.
It’s music for a mobile game. Are you expecting FLAC? Cause if you are, that’s kinda silly.
@Bar, did you rip this from the Android or iOS version of the game? And thanks too!

You’re welcome! 🙂 I ripped this from the Android version of the game, although I checked the iOS version as well. It uses exactly the same assets.
You’re right that people can hear the difference between 128kbps and 320kbps, but I have to agree with TL that a lot of people would think it’s better if I had just saved the files as 320kbps.
It’s 650k at the moment, so it seems to be slowing down a little. I’m pretty sure it would speed up again if they released it in the other countries though. Maybe they’re waiting for downloads to slow down more to release it to the rest of the world, giving them more time to complete the download starter features.
😀
That kik notification is killing me.
Same Q here: after 900k downloads there is an official release somewhere?
BTW: thanks Bar for publicising this to us 😀

Lol…
Maybe if you’re using Fisher Price speakers you can’t tell the difference.
I know the game is on course for 1.8mil downloads, but it is still typically unreleased in most countries. I don’t get how they’re bringing attention this way. I had to manually install the .apk from an external source in order to be able to play it as it’s not on my google play.
Hope they port this to PC at some point, the game has potential.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
There you go.

This is the looped version. Properly re-tagged/re-named where necessary (but kept all of Bar’s custom titles). Included the extra jingles from apples23’s post.
Note: If Bar requests it, I will remove my link.
the new music by Kenji Ito, Yoko Shimomura and Yasunori Mitsuda – including an old arrangement that I managed to grab from the server before it was replaced
live versions of the Terra Battle music from the AROUNDERS -TERRA BATTLE- concert in Japan
music from The Last Story, to be used in an upcoming TLS-themed event (I love Mistwalker for this)
the jingles that I somehow missed in version 1 – thanks again for pointing that out to me, apples23!

Also: Thanks for reuploading that, CroiX-SaN! My MEGA account got deleted (even though the only files that got flagged were perfectly legal) so that’s why all my uploads disappeared. 🙂
I’d like to prevent something like this from happening again without having to upload everything to 10 sites every time I post something, so if it’s not too much trouble, could anyone mirror this new version too? I’d be very grateful!
Just checking in to see when you might be able to get your hand on the new tracks added since your last update, primarily:
-High Sky (new main menu theme)
-Mobius Final Fantasy music set
Big thanks, again!
