Welcome to Gaia! ::

Featuring:
-Motoi Sakuraba
-Shinji Tamura
AND
-Motoo Fujiwara

Guess who the new guy is? He's actually part of Bump of Chicken! That's freakin' awesome that they actually helped with about 12 tracks of the OST. (If you go to Play-Asia, Fujiwara has a CD from Abyss with 12 songs, one that he probably wrote/had the most influence on.)

As for some of the ones he did, some are pretty obvious, "Karma" for one, and of course, "The Meaning of Birth", since it is a remix of Karma. However, all 3 final boss themes (Time to Take Up the Cross, A Place in the Sun and Finish the Promise) all are linked to him.

Sakuraba better watch out, this guy's pretty good.

Then of course, Sakuraba and Tamura's bizzare rock for a lot of the OST is awesome too.

Tracks such as, "Final Chapter", "The Arrow Was Shot" and "Awkward Justice".

I don't have Abyss yet, but I'm going to get it, VERY SOON. So this is a topic for the Abyss music, because it owns. (And of which, I'm going to delete a lot of files soon... I'm getting the official Abyss OST!)

...and it's a last attempt to keep this sub-forum going, XD.

I actually have the OST, so yay for me. As far as the translation for Karma... I read the first verse and it seemed like another love song... which doesn't make real sense considering that when it plays in different arrangements during the game it relates to

Then again, I only read the first verse.

DON'T ANYONE EDIT THIS POST!!

I'll post the rest later when I get up to those points. Some of the stuff is whited out to prevent spoiling some parts of the game.

Blue laguna and it's over-excessive pop-ups scare me.

Galbadia Hotel is bigger over 500 I beleave

Galbadia Hotel takes forever to load for me.

The OSTs are awesome. 70$ is totally worth it. <3 -Has bought it a few weeks ago- There was even a little booklet with character introductions in it. ^^

And this is the link to Blue Laguna, if anyone is interested. 3nodding

I did like all the Karma remixes and A few of the map themes.

Beside's that I think ToD2 had the best dungeon theme..followed by Phantasia and Symphonia.

I heart the Desian base theme.
