A hideous fruit, disgracing itself.

between the recent baten kaitos remaster collection & the star ocean 2 remake next month, we're back in the golden age of motoi sakuraba rpg scores~
while i often feel his style gets oversaturated pretty easily it's such a nostalgic feeling revisiting both games' osts!!
i'm just waiting for an eternal sonata remaster now ...
Motoi Sakuraba: because my OST needs a lot of rock and synth keyboards in it.
I’m glad the SO2 remake lets you play with the original score; the arrange feels like it’s missing a certain essential Sakurabism.
yeah! i felt the same way. the orchestration feels so smoothed over, whereas the original has so much hardware reverb & high end sparkle that really makes it feel like star ocean
bless baten kaitos, both the game and the score... weirdo card battle rpg is an essential path to my heart. and there's some of sakuraba's best work in there too. "chaotic dance" really grew on me over the years as a beautiful little oddity. looking forward to picking up the remaster myself
YES, i remember i was playing the game in my family living room when i got to the first giacomo fight & everyone was like lmao what is that and i didn't know how to answer at the time
now i know: an incredible track lmao
