(Secret of Mana composer) PS1 Soukaigi OST Fully Remastered 2023 / 双界儀 サウンドトラック Squaresoft / Yuke's
This is a very notable soundtrack for the high budget and effort that went into it while being powered by the musical talents of Hiroki Kikuta who was given full control and quite a large budget to work with.
Unfortunately the game itself was ambitious beyond the capability of the gameplay and graphics to tie it all together, because the control is a bit sluggish as if you were playing a Resident Evil style game with tank controls, and the music is such a high level of performance that it is almost impossible to match the epic level with PS1 graphics. It may have been better to use pre-rendered backgrounds with a more traditional RPG style, but it was evident they wanted to experiment with 3D gameplay and enable the player to control multiple characters.
Composer: Hiroki Kikuta 菊田裕樹 (Secret of Mana, Trials of Mana, Soukaigi, Koudelka)
