I’d like to make a quick statement regarding the orchestrated soundtracks for DQ7 and DQ8. For those who live in America, the orchestrated soundtracks are NOT supported in the NA release of DQ8, however it has a brand new midi sound track as the PS2 release. As for DQ7 I believe this is also true but I am not too sure as I don’t own the game. It was a bummer for me when I learned the hard way. Please look into these before purchasing or modding the games!

Actually, the first one is the Japanese PS2 version and the second one is the Japanese 3DS version. The original Japanese PS2 version had a sequenced soundtrack. The US localization updated it with an orchestral version of the score. Sugiyama appeared to regret this choice, since when DQVIII got ported to the 3DS, he redid the orchestral arrangements for the Japanese version, while the overseas versions got a new synth-based soundtrack based on the orchestral arrangements, presumably made out of spite. Because of this, the game has four different versions of its soundtrack.

I'm so used to listening to the 10 disc set (I'm not even sure what it's called at the top of my head and I can't read Japanese lol) of the fully orchestrated tracks of virtually all of the main themes from DQ1 through DQ9, that my brain automatically assumed it was the track from the ps2 english version of dq8 that I have played numerous times.

My god the original Japanese PS2 DQ8 battle theme is unlistenably bad, and sadly the orchestrated version in the American release is terribly recorded which makes it not much better. The American 3DS version has a new MIDI soundtrack which, while still not great, I'd say is better than both, at least for the battle theme. Also, they weren't included in this video but the PS1 release of DQ4 and the PS2 release of DQ5 have probably the best sounding music in the whole franchise.
