Info

Revisited this one for the first time in quite a while due to it being a contemporaneous work by Ochiai with Planet Laika, and it’s better than I remember! Some strong contributions from all four composers. Leans pretty heavily on mallet percussion and glassy synths for that authentic ’90s fantasy JRPG flavor, which is cool because both of those are great.

The soundtrack release is missing a bit over 20 tracks from the game. The CD has all of what I’d consider the highlights so I don’t think tracking down the PSF set is super vital, but there are a few cool unreleased tracks there too, like PACK_TIT_0001 and PACK22_0000.
