Strive against the Dark may sound quite weird when listening to it for the first time. And finally, after a cute interlude, the track comes gloriously to its end. Brass and strings suddenly burst out as if someone yelled "Chaaaarge!!!" and after a few seconds, electronic guitar finally complete this awesome show of power. Intensity and beauty increase as military drums slightly come back. Every time I hear this part of the track, it gives me gooseflesh.
Then come the synthetic choir and strings playing a kind of "theme of hope". Try to avoid this one.Ī Light to Lead the Way is wisely named for it is the tune which enlightens the album! This variation over the Shining Force III Main Theme starts immediately with an intense brass opening. The problem here is that there is no thread: the whole track sounds like a rock concert solo, but does not fit RPG music. Music needs time to create an atmosphere, and this medley juggles with different styles without letting one of them dominate the others.įorce: To Arms! : This track is all about the "bad side" of Sakuraba's work: chaotic action music. In my opinion, each theme is too short to be fully enjoyable. If you want to have a quick overview of the OST, this track is what you need. Sakuraba's favourite instruments are mixed to create a grand piece of music which sums up the overall atmosphere of the game: synth guitar and brass lead the epic parts flute and digital choirs lead the quiet ones. Shining Force III Medley is the first track of the album. The whole album turned out to be very interesting that's why I think it deserves a review. Personally, I don't know much about this Saturn RPG, but its arranged soundtrack immediately attracted me after I heard one of the opening themes on a radio.
