Just as amazing as the soundtrack was to Ori and the Blind Forest, Gareth Coker has done it once more with the soundtrack to Ori and the Will of the Wisps!
These tracks are beautiful and whisk you away to the Ori universe. If you are a fan of the series and the music from the first one, then you certainly will want to pick up this soundtrack as well! I constantly have this on repeat! I actually just completed this game today and listening to this soundtrack, these tracks still all the emotion within me as they did when I was playing the amazing game!

If you like games with jazz and classical/orchestral music, this is your album. Its a great soundtrack, with beautiful melodies and relaxing moments...

Fantastic Soundtrack. While it dosn't have that much tracks for an official game soundtrack... it does make up for it on the tracks length. I mean if you played the game, I shouldn't have had to tell you how amazing the music is.
The first disk is the regular soundtrack.... but when you get to the second and third disks it has different variations of the same track, even in a different language for some.
I wish I could put in to words how amazing this soundtrack is. Unfortunately, anything I write here won't do this game or the OST any lick of service. I highly suggest this soundtrack to anyone that enjoys video game music and anyone that has played this game. You do not need to have played the game to enjoy the soundtrack, but it will certainly add more meaning to some of the tracks. Especially so if you've played the first installment of the Nier series.
Persona 3' has one of the best soundtracks every put to a video game. The combination of rock, hip-hop, electronic, and jazz -- with the simply perfect touch of cinematic orchestral moments thrown in -- is irresistible. While the tracks on the CD do rely on quite a bit of looping, I never found it to be an issue in the game and subsequent listening experiences haven't ruined the love I have for this soundtrack: one of the best out there.
This CD only contains the new music added in the FES edition of Persona 3, there was still some good stuff to be found. Namely the Opening Trailer song, which is pretty good. There is also the boss music for the final boss in The Answer, which is eerily enjoyable.
All of the Final Fantasy games have good soundtracks. Final Fantasy IX's soundtrack is probably the most catchy of them all though, with some VERY melodic upbeat and catchy pieces here. "Jesters of the Moon" will have you humming in no time, "The Village of Dali" theme is very peaceful, and "Vamo Alla Flamenco" is such a catchy piece with the spanish guitar added effect. It sets you in the lighthearted, fun mood that the game has.
This soundtrack comes with every piece from the game, all of the town, dungeon, world map and battle themes from the game. The first reviewer was says it leaves a lot of the songs out, it doesn't. If your into fun, and sometimes peaceful themes from anything, not necessarily just Video Games in general than you will love this group of cool theme music from this great game.
One of the reasons why the video game Chrono Trigger was a success happened because Yasunori Mitsuda did a spectacular work on its soundtrack. Just like Nobuo Uematsu, who did at least nine collaborations like "Light of Silence" (Track 17, CD 1), "Those without the Will to Live" (Track 4, CD 2) and "Primeval Mountain" (Track 18, CD 2), and Noriko Matsueda on "Boss Battle 1", which was also arranged by Nobuo Uematsu.
Even though the music may be synthesized in MIDI format, it'll still capture your attention even if you havent played the game before. All of the songs on the OSV version are in the original synthesized forms with multiple orchestra instruments.
Thanks to those three composers, but most of all to Yasunori Mitsuda, the game happens to get a diversity of excellent tracks which correspond to each of the time periods visited by the characters (Middle Ages, Future, Dark Ages, Prehistorical Times) and crucial scenes of the story.
Junya Nakano is one of the most underrated composers out there. Until Final Fantasy X, he was a relative unknown in the game music industry. Amid loads of great talent at Square, his music was often lost in the mix. Yet during that time he composed a vastly different RPG score in Dew Prism. Although it may not sound like your typical RPG soundtrack, it does have quite a bit of appeal. Much of the music is mellow and laid-back, but there are a few tracks that pop out demand your attention. I haven't played the game, but I can just picture the lush and vibrant forest imagery while listening to this music.
Dew Prism's soundtrack is separated onto two CDs, Rue's Disc and Mint's Disc. As such, most of the music is character specific and is represented on each character's disc respectively. Generally, the overall tone differs greatly on each: Mint's is upbeat and cheerful while Rue's is mellower, and at times sharp and stirring. However, the differing styles work well. If you're in a happier mood you may want to listen to Mint's Disc. Looking for something more laid-back, Rue's will do fine. Both have their high points as well as the expected filler tracks, but overall Dew Prism contains a nice selection of music.
As mentioned before, Rue's Disc is a bit more subdued, but there a few upbeat tunes that truly stand out. "Passing Through the Forest" is one of the best pieces on the album, and fits in well with the game's foresty atmosphere. "Fancy Mel" is a fun piece with it's cheerful melody chirping away throughout. And then there's "Sad Prima Doll," "Reminiscence," and "A Chance Meeting" which are all very calming with their soothing melodies.
On the other hand is Mint's disc which is filled with up-beat, catchy tunes that perfectly captures the character's free-spirited nature. Of the two discs I enjoy this one more. There are so many excellent pieces here it's hard to pick favorites. "Underground Ruins" is AWESOME, my favorite track on the CD. I love how Nakano takes an upbeat melody and mixes it with a slower, soothing base harmony resulting in something almost magical. "Rodo ~Impetuous Soul~," "Village," and "Maya's Theme" are all excellently composed as well. Finally, I must mention "Finale ~Mint~" which is a jazzed-up version of the Dew Prism main theme. I love this piece, and found it to be a fresh and invigorating inclusion on the album.
If you're looking for something different, Dew Prism is a great choice. Filled with a wonderful mixture of ambient and highly enjoyable melodious tracks, unless you're turned off by slower music, you can't go wrong with this one. With its mellow, soothing tone, Dew Prism is great to listen to in the background while doing work or while just chilling out.!
As if the game Okami itself weren't epic enough, the music that accompanies it is majestic!
Each disc is packed-full with fabulous instrumental tracks that inspire and wow me every time I listen to them. Some tracks send shivers down my body because they are so well-done. [Reset], both the instrumental and vocal versions, is an amazing addition to the CD collection - beautiful in every aspect.
I definitely recommend this collection of music to those who are fans of Okami, Japanese music/orchestra, etc. It's worth every penny!
