A Blessing to My Ears - Like a Dragon Gaiden Composer Appreciation
2,184While it's honestly a tough call to make, this game is definitely up at the top of the list for one of the greatest soundtracks in this series, and that is 100% thanks to the incredible line up of composers that SEGA gathered to work on this awesome game. I mean, they even got the Radwimps guy.

Composer discographies are on the homepage on my channel too if you're curious.
I know someone did a mod for it but the way I hid the HUD was I went to ui_texlist.bin file in the puid.aston folder in the game files. I then just deleted the battle_hud_judge_texlist bit in the file with HxD but I uhhhh wouldn't recommend it as the game softlocks if you open the upgrades menu or try to start a battle in the coliseum so there's probably a better way to do it but this was what I did :) (and I did a bunch of other stuff too but it's not important).
