It was alright. The music sucks though.

The worst jarpig battle theme of all time

this, great OST
But >>10805636 is right ironically the basic battle theme is the worst song in the game by far and you hear it for like 50% of your playtime

I hate the art. I hate the soundtrack. I hate the gameplay. Story is convoluted and stupid. It really has nothing going for it and I cannot fathom why anyone likes it. It's genuinely slow and boring.

Terrible game.

It’s one of those games we troll newfags into playing by pretending it’s an underrated gem. Other examples include:

-Secret of Mana
-Xenogears
-Nights

It's perplexing that anybody ever let that become the norm. How hard is it to just write six basic battle themes for your 50-hour game instead of one, and then parcel them out to various locations, times of day, phases of world destruction, etc.? Or assign them to types of enemy group: a robot group gets the techy-sounding battle tune, a bunch of wild animals gets the primitive-sounding tune, human soldiers get the martial-sounding tune, etc. Or just rotate through them in order, or pick one per battle at random. It was fine in Dragon Quest 1 times but this game has more than 60 tunes I think - just replace a few of those, how hard is that?

I guess Japanese people just love a formula sometimes, and can't bear to deviate from it. I don't know.

Also, once the first JRPG was published that didn't restart out-of-battle music from its beginning every time a battle ended, ZERO other JRPGs should ever have existed that let battles restart the music like that. There is no excuse.

Also, OP has bad taste in music.

Gale is a masterpiece. The way the deliberately erratic rhythm conveys the unease of fighting is peerless.

Nah that was the best part of the game. That is one things JRPG do very right.

The music is literally the best thing about that game, what the fuck are you talking about.

All I can find in YouTube for the FATE music all has some faggot rapsinging over it about his love for fries and tendies so I'll have to link from Zophar instead:

The music is, next to the graphics, the only things that dont suck.
