been listening to the tales of xillia soundtrack for vgm playlist reasons and i never really realized how few killer tracks there are here. i don't think there's any song from this game that i'd consider a true standout in the way i would with basically any other tales ost
at the same time, it has a lot of really interesting tracks with a unique jazzy style that don't show up in other tales games. mostly themes for the place you spend the last third of the game in
it's odd. i don't think i can bring myself to say i like this soundtrack because there's like five songs that don't sound like something i've heard a thousand times before. motoi sakuraba write a new song challenge
the one thing that saves xillia's soundtrack is progress by ayumi hamasaki because i think it might actually be my favourite tales theme. even more than ring a bell!
anyway i really need to replay this game for real. haven't played it since it came out
