Dragon’s Eye on disc 1 is a good example of this Celtic fusion and is a personal favorite track of mine. Though the instrumentation is mostly synthesized, the composer made effort to utilize a wide variety of instrumentation in many pieces often fusing Eastern and Western instruments and melodies. One trend that seems to be in some RPG soundtracks is the fondness of incorporating Celtic music with more Asian themes. There are fast paced themes, slower more emotional themes, loud themes, soft themes, heroic sounding themes, villainous sounding themes, whimsical themes, everything you’d expect in an RPG musical score. There are your typical battle themes, boss themes, event themes, all that. The music is generally the classical orchestral fare seen in most RPGs. And though the music presented in this 47-track 2 CD OST is quite good, the soundtrack is what I would call a “grower.” When I first listened to it, I wasn’t super thrilled by it, but as I listened to it more and more I grew to enjoy it more and more. One would expect that such an interesting game would have equally interesting music. Soul Nomad appears to flip the script even further and allow you to do bad guy things like pillage towns and steal from people. One interesting thing about many NIS SRPGs is that they put you in the shoes of an anti-hero. Soul Cradle: Sekai wo Kurau Mono is a strategy RPG by NIS that is slated for a Fall 2007 release in the US as Soul Nomad & the World Eaters. NIS has traditionally done this with many of their games.
