I&#8217;m looking at 35 complete ones right now which accounts for nearly 4Gb of music.  And while I&#8217;ve heard countless renditions of <b>A Premonition &#8211; Styx-<\/b>, sometimes ~Styx~, others =Styx=, I always have heart to listen to one more.  And how does this one stand up to the original <b>Ys III<\/b>?  To <b>Ys: The Oath In Felghana<\/b>?  Quite remarkably, actually.<\/p>\n<p>The track hearkens back to a different time, as do all the tracks.  And while there are 2-3 iffy ones (I can usually skip <b>Feena<\/b> and in this case <b>Casnan, The Frontier Town<\/b>), others are incredibly strong.  The metal rendition of <b>Last Decisive Battle<\/b> sits among my favorite <b>Ys<\/b> tracks and the calm power of <b>The Depth Napishtim<\/b> gives this a well-rounded polish.  This entire soundtrack is great and I love the new twists on a mix of old classics.  From <b>The Dawn Of Ys<\/b> to <b>Crimson Wings<\/b>, for any <b>Ys<\/b> music fan, I highly recommend this one.  It shines through 4Gb of similar tracks and stands shoulder-to-shoulder to my favorites from yesterdecade, a word I just made up, but sounded cool in my head.  This OST rocks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m still a sucker for a good Ys OST and after all these years, I&#8217;ve gone back to sort out my collection of soundtracks.
