[@fenris-prime4921]

Figured I'd give my opinion on the new tracks. Pseudo Fight, Eternal Fire, Collision of our Swords, and Soar are absolutely amazing. Hell, I might like Soar even more than the original Fly. Pray Me -Revive-, With Vengeance, Pledge of Demon and Sounds Storm are pretty good songs. Yeah, I kinda wish they just made Ishin remixes of those osts, but it's still good hearing them again. However, one thing that bugs me is the use of Town Bully. I mean, seriously? A regular combat theme for a boss tune? Town Bully doesn't even have anything to do with Akiyama or Ryuji. I really wish they just kept Rhapsody of Chivalry. Other than that, I am pretty happy with how the OST for Ishin Kiwami turned out. I was really worried that they'd replace Assassination of Bodhisattva with a remix of Two Dragons. Or worse, just flat out reuse Two Dragons. So, I am glad that those we're the only songs/fights replaced. I mean Before the Sasanqua Falls is really good, but it was also reused like hell back in the original Ishin.

[@kaz101]

I agree about wishing they made remixes of Pledge of Demon and With Vengeance. Idk why they made brand new remixes for Nagakura and Hijikata, when those fights are basically just sparring matches. But then they couldn't make new remixes for Ito and Takeda. Very strange, but it was still pretty cool to hear their Yakuza 0 tracks again I guess

[@jlcblue21]

Once I started playing I was a bit upset when I heard they didn't remix 2 dragons until I got to the boss fight and realized how wrong I was to be upset about it. Assassination of bodshivatta is a great song

Well a fan remixed the song so we got that at least not officially but listen to this. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWTMinqJaZaWgqs

[@kaz101]

@@okmate it is fitting, but i don't like the fact that they used it. Feels very weird. RGG usually reused assets appropriately, but I didn't like it this time. Especially because I'm pretty sure this fight had its own unique soundtrack in the original, so there was no reason to replace it.

[@lyricsghost2547]

I'm satisfied with most of the soundtrack. Assassination of Bodhisattva wasn't replaced in favor of a Two Dragons remix and the new songs are amazing. My mayor complains are Town Bully replacing Rhapsody of Chivalry (why? it doesn't make any sense) and that Pray Me Revive, Pledge of Demon and With Vengeance didn't get the Ishin treatment with traditional instruments. Don't take me wrong, I love them all to my core but they are out of place. This is not 0 nor Yakuza 1/Kiwami. Some shamizen and taiko drums and less techno would have helped, I know RGG composers have the talent to make them work into the song and amaze us. My personal take on the names given the context of the game (any suggestions are welcomed): Pray me in Ashes (Yoshida Toshimaro) With Iron Breathing Vengeance (Takeda Kanryusai) Pledge of Ancient Demon (Ito Kashitaro)

[@longphan7656]
