So this area is exclusive to the story quest? It doesn't have a Free Field?

Awesome music

EDIT: Also, the new area theme sounds like they mixed the PSO "style" and PSP2i "style" of score and ran with it.

I really can't describe it any better than that.

Theodore's theme feels like it has a sort of Sonic Riders vibe to it. Then again, I still can't put my finger of what it reminds me of.

[Naizuya Tatzubani]

Oh my god. Someone got the Angel theme. Whoever did, I'm giving you my shop ticket.

[The Walrus]

Oh wow this music is great. I hope they keep this up for future stuff.

[Shinamori]

Did anyone get Luther's battle theme?

I'm going to be super honest. I majored in Music Education back in university so I'm pretty finely in-tune with music as an artistry...and it's not that I don't like the music posted...

...but it really doesn't sound all that different from the stuff we already have. In particular, the area theme just sounds like a different tune, but still more of the same instrument and default instrumental sounds effects as the rest of the area themes.

The Falz theme is unique but it just feels as though it was composed purposefully intimidating, and the part where the keyboard-quality operatic male voice comes in just makes it sound cheesey. All in all not really super impressive...just kind of harsh like I'm being beat over the head with an orchestra.

The third track definitely starts off unique but it ensues in to typical fashion after a minute or so...I encourage the little bit of creativity shown here though.

Overall, I don't find PSO2 music to be bad, so much as pretty samey across the board. I hardly ever listen to it as is, but there was a reason I turned it off in the first place...it just got repetitious and it doesn't keep me "in the zone" while killing stuff.
