God I hope they bring the PSP remake to modern platforms but allow us to switch between the original and arranged soundtracks. The remake's boss battle theme and battle themes in general do not hold a candle to this. Seriously, you just want to wail on some bad guys when this is cranking in the background. The other one just makes you want to sleep.

[@CatManThree]

Problem is that the PSP version's ost is set up very differently. It has way less tracks and lacks nuances the original had (specifically the battle music seamlessly looping and ending at any time, as well as the portion of the boss theme that only plays before you start the fight).

[@DesertRainReads]

@@CatManThree so true, ha ha, it literally pales in comparison to the original in so many ways it isn't funny. Meguro-san might be an awesome composer but that was a massive black mark on his record. The battle songs just sucked shit. Still, would love for a modern port of this game with the original soundtrack in as an option.
