It's been posted quite a few times already.

Thanks for sharing though. :)

Oops sorry then - I'm afraid there's just too much coverage/chat/hype around PSO2 for me to keep up :P

[Rizen]

Nothing wrong with being excited. Just be sure to check the sticky and any threads that may have something to do with what you are making a topic of.

.....Oh...My....God... Badass Title Screen Theme Alert o.o!

[Sord]

Well, it at least has a dedicated thread to it now. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for bullet-point info database stickies, but because there's so much info, talking about all those things at once in a single thread just feels disorganized as hell. I still use the info thread heavily for double checking info and the like, but I don't like trying to start a conversation in it.

Anyways, I'm likin the music. It feels very reminiscent of PSO, has that same sort of sci-fi exploratory ambiance in it. I'm taking it as a good sign for the soundtrack. I just hope to god we don't get any of that terrible rock music PSU had. Hated that crap.

Oh geez. This is just... to bad for my ears...

Sounds EXACTLY like ep3 to me, which is good.

Still, for the title theme, I wish they would have used something more calm.

Almost sounds like 3 different pieces strung together in a fashion to PSUv1's (underrated due to people only listening to the first 20 seconds) title screen overture.

But I approve of it and of its thrown in PSO synth pads and space whale noises! So far all BGM signs are positive!

The hunt for a recurring melody/motif within the PSO2 soundtrack begins now..

It sounds like a PSO song, but it doesn't share the same catchy composition as most of the PSO songs. I dont think there are too many PSO Ep.III songs that I didn't like. But honestly, this is just the menu music. There's really nothing to base this off of. It's NOT ANNOYING and its NOT BAD, and thats all it needs to be. For a menu track, anyway. PSU's music consistantly sounded obnoxious to me. I really dont know what it was.




The real story? Wait until we hear some level tunes. They say the songs transition in this game like in PSO. I'm hoping that means they have 2 different BGMs that complement eachother and transition correctly. (Like in PSO, where each transition is actually seamless and not just a fade-in/fade-out.) This definitely has the PSO quality to it, though. The music shown in the first trailer was quite catchy as well. And im going to have to admit, i was no real fan of most of PSO Ep.I's BGMs. I liked Idola the Holy, Dragon, Vol Opt, and the Ruins the most. The other tracks sounded great though. Ep.II is where shit got real, though. And Episode III was just....best quality game OST ever composed, IMO. It just consistently had great tracks.



What this DOES prove, however, is that they're taking the quality of the music seriously in this game. Thank. God. Finally.

I've listened to this on loop for about 10 times now.

I'm hoping to hit 50. ;)

I'm also waiting to hear where the first trailer music(s) will make an appearance. I was kind of impressed that the initial minute of the very first trailer seemed like a throwback to Phantasy Star IV's opening sequence (drama music over SEGA logo et al).

Maybe it's hoping for a bit too much from the current team, but seeing as PSO took a lot of musical bits and pieces from the prior PS games, I can't help but wonder if the same thing will happen here.

With any luck they'll still be using ADX as the have in previous Phantasy Star Online and Universe games. If you don't know how this technology works, take a look at this link (http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=ja&tl=en&twu=1&u=http://www.cri-mw.co.jp/product/lineup/audio/criadx/details.html&usg=ALkJrhjNJdsk1_NwGZMpqc5pPqd8Xjtq_w)

Thank you! :D I was wondering what was up with that video...

[BlackCosmic]

Thank you so much you wonderful person.

[Angelo]

Thanks very much for the link!

Unfortunately, I'm not all that impressed. The few examples of music for PSO2 shown so far are relatively unremarkable in my book.

[kyuuketsuki]

Thanks for the link, I for one love the music (although Mediafire blows...)

[Shinji Kazuya]

One of the things I love the most in games is the soundtrack! I always love Phantasy Star music from Online to Portable 2 Infinity!

Can't wait to hear the whole Phantasy Star Online 2 soundtrack!
