Star Ocean 4 vs Final Fantasy XIII

[Mirage]

Are you saying SO4 doesn't have a good soundtrack?

This song is probably my favorite in the whole soundtrack. It's so haunting and unique for a boss battle theme. XIII's boss themes are very typical and uninspired by comparison.


Some other great tracks:

SO4 had some good tracks, but most of them are pretty dull compared to other sakuraba music. I wasn't very impressed. An "epic" orchestral version of for achieve certainly doesn't cut it, and generic choral chanting with a couple of instruments doesn't either. Brilliant Rose is the only one out of the ones you linked to that I actually enjoy listening to.

FF13 however, delivers good tracks like there was a conveyor belt in place. FF13-2, for all it flaws, added even more good tracks to the mix, although it also reused a lot of the best FF13 tracks.
