Forums - Microsoft - Star Ocean 4's lack of a soundtrack.

The one from SO4 reminded me of Baten Kaitos' battle theme. o_O Then again, same composer, so I guess that's possible.

Star Ocean 4 has my least favorite soundtrack of all the Star Oceans. Even the remixes from the older games are a little weak...which is amazing because I like Sakuraba's rearrangements on their official Arrange Albums compared to the actual remixes presented in SO4.

But Vesperia is not a good example to use for contrast because it's battle theme is weak and mediocre for a Tales game.

Sakuraba is a JRPG music god but I think they're starting to wear into him. He needs to go back to his SO1/2 style for SO5.

I know your love for the Star Ocean series has clouded your judgement and Sakaraba is a decent enough composer but JRPG music god is kinda overdoing it.  He isn't known for consistently excellent and memorable soundtracks like Nobuo Uematsu and Yasunori Mitsuda are.

 

Are you speaking from experience or are you parroting other people's opinions as fact again?

Yeah, that's what I thought. Sakuraba is a god. Star Ocean, Tales, Baten Kaitos, Smash Bros Brawl, Valkyrie Profile >>>>>>>> You.

I can assure you I have listened to Sakaraba's music enough to form a fair opinion.

 

Uematsu FTW!!!
