Very smooth and reminiscent of the more jazz oriented Sora no Kiseki tracks. It's nice to go back to your roots!

[@theheartgold101streamarchi2]

Koguchi really is the rising star of the Falcom Sound Team, and I hope to hear more of his work in the future.

[@lilylolz2244]

I like it,its a more chill battle theme than previous games,but it still has that first game in the arc vibe,simmilar to fc.

[@hunterballew7698]

Honestly the more I listen to this, the more I like it. I’m digging the calmer, cozier vibes.

[@desmabr]

Always had a soft spot for the more comfy battle music. May not be the best, but I bet I could go the entire game without getting sick of it.

[@れっどりばー]

今までのシリーズとはまた違う雰囲気のBGMで好き

[@FrogofWarRS]

This song is really beginning to grow on me. The more I listen to it here and in gameplay footage, the more I really start to vibe with it. Really excited to experience this myself whenever Kuro comes west!

[@asdlgvfrbadkhjaseygf]

@@QuanLovesGaming unfortunately not all of the NPC dialogue is translated but all of the main quests and side quests i heard are

[@bradyotter9109]

I honestly loved this when I first heard it. I definitely opened up to easy-going battle themes especially hearing the main battle themes from trails in the sky and xenoblade 2 torna the golden country.

[@kingdomhearts2326]

フィールドバトルからコマンドバトルに切り換えた時のBGMの繋がり方がとても良かった

[@lin_lin_lin]

ah, this feels so nostalgic and comfy. i dig battle themes that go this vibe instead of too much intensity. kinda funny how this version has a slightly more intense percussion than the "action version", lol. guess it's something in the gameplay i gotta experience to understand. still a very enjoyable track :)

[@luigonzalo6571]

if you like this garbage, play atelier series.

[@marrlethefirst]

I think it's exactly because "command" is slower/less intense that they went with this more active version, to compensate for the lack of "action".

[@awes5893]

The "real" battle is still command mode imo, action mode seems to be a mob cleaner and a way to get an advantage (like the back and assault attacks we could do in earlier games). Makes sense for it to have more punch in it.

[@NFUN0]

@@luigonzalo6571 This, but unironically. Much more consistent place to find bangers than modern Falcom

[@waypastlame]

@@NFUN0 and with Blue Reflection 2 on the horizon, I suspect we'll be getting our dose of Gust kino to the nth degree

[@superblanco444]

Honestly I dig this battle theme

[@bobxstar]

This theme is nice cuz it starts right away. In previous games you got a super long build up and the battle already ends before the drop.

[@meohmy5]

This is my biggest problem with Cold Steel 2 and 4's battle themes, they're great on their own but with how short battles can be you barely ever get to hear the main parts of the themes

[@di-gun5791]

That's because this theme played in the middle of the fight if you stun the enemies first

[@RiaVII]

i already feeling nostalgic hearing this after i beat the game 😔

[@TainoMoya]

as long as the beginning is great the track is perfect for battles. and this beginning is indeed that

[@SkolcStrife]

I played the demo and I totally love this track!! And actually playing the game makes you understand why the command mode version is "stronger" than the action mode version. It's perfect.

[@batchest7377]

it gives the vibes that only trails in the sky FC has

[@KyunaCookies]

1:48 cool down gives me the vibes

[@etchyasketch2851]

I thought I hated it when the teaser came out. But while playing the game it really clicked for me. First games battle theme, not overly dire. Still just your friendly neighborhood spriggan taking odd jobs. Not to mention the Boss themes have the intense music to spare.

[@Mohamed-tp7pg]

can't wait to play it translated

[@Aewo]

I like the direction the Koguchi is going in, I think I sort of understand what he's trying to do in terms of buildup. It's not heaven to my ears, but I like it and hope that Koguchi takes pride in making music and improving.

[@waypastlame]

It's been stuck in my head all day send help

[@tiago4826]

i'm itching to learn more about the new Orbment system, it's looking so dope!

[@canadianbacon3846]

kinda feels like the action and command theme should be flipped based on their intensity, but honestly considering ill be in command style more often, I can dig it

[@QuanLovesGaming]

I didn't like it before I played. After playing I love it.

[@henrysmarthy286]

This song really reminds me of Crosscode. Not a lot of punch but I really like it.

[@germanshoe191]

Crosscode's music was mainly inspired by Zwei's soundtrack, which was primarily composed by Takeshita (especially the battle music). Koguchi was inspired to compose music from listening to Overdosing Heavenly Bliss, and notes Takeshita as one of his biggest influences, so it makes sense.

[@henrysmarthy286]

@@germanshoe191 Really that's so cool, I never knew that before.

[@McCaroni_Sup]

@@henrysmarthy286 Seems like koguchi has potential to become Takeshita's spiritual successor. Might help offset the imbalance caused by Unisuga leaving.

[@masterrean4799]

This is much better action ver.

[@maximinoe7307]

Weaker than wind up yesterday but still pretty solid battle theme

[@OmegaMetroid93]

I don't dislike it, and in fact the longer it goes on, the more I like it. But I feel like it's lacking some punch or impact.

[@Gallereon]

Much better than the action version. Still kinda middling when compared to some other battle themes in the series, though.

[@ninnaskcils1171]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DesMondesBlut]

I prefer this over the action version. The Trails in the Sky vibes are very unmistakably. The guitar gives it a nice touch. A bit too comfy for a battle track in my books, but I don't dislike it.

[@McCaroni_Sup]

This is one of those themes that is a lot better when you actually experience it in the game. When I listened to it outside the game, it lowkey disappointed me a bit. But when I first heard it after I got the Switch demo, it just clicked and I actually thought it was a banger lol.

[@ammarz3055]

I guess we were due for a weaker battle theme sooner or later....

[@Mzgty_Jc]

This definitely doesn't hit like the Hajimari themes did, but I do think this song has similar charm to Sophisticated fight back in sky FC, even though it's definitely not my top battle theme, I personally really like it

[@pinksoda9714]

@@Mzgty_Jc Yeah it's super nostalgic, Sophisticated Fight vibes indeed.

[@d343-y]

@@Mzgty_Jc Spot on.

[@NEdgyman]

It's weaker than most of the battle themes in the series so far but it's just impossible to hate. It still has a lot of energy and soul. Kind of sad after Hajimari gave us the best set of battle themes the series has seen though.

[@luigonzalo6571]

How wrong you are.

[@NEdgyman]

@@luigonzalo6571 you think it's bad?

[@d343-y]

​@@NEdgyman Maybe it's because you're proclaiming that Hajimari has the best set of battle themes?

[@NEdgyman]

@@d343-y I didn't really think that was controversial. Like a Whirlwind is breathtaking. Lloyd's theme didn't make me shit my pants but it definitely carries on that Crossbell feeling. Wind Up Yesterday is flawed but it's really memorable. Maybe some individual songs like Burning Throb or Get Over the Barrier could be better, but no other game has 3 great themes.

[@muhammadzulfikarramadhan1652]

Well, you're not wrong, but still good. Every first game on Kiseki will have a theme song like this, i suppose.

The atrocity committed by the audio engineer for this track makes hajimari zero break battle look trivial in comparison

[@MaskedKingDavid]

Goodness, I don't like the arrangement here, think I dislike the way nearly every instrument sounds. And yes, it's still weaker than Wind-up if you ask me.

[@d343-y]

I really can't make a definite judgement on this track due to how much the audio engineer fked it up

[@MaskedKingDavid]

@@d343-y What do you mean by that?

@@d343-y For real. Both versions of this song sound like trash. This is not Falcom quality sound engeneering.

@@roadhouseplaysgames4832 That's not what I meant. The track itself is fine even though it's certainly not the best.
