Beautiful. If ever I were to sum up a game soundtrack with that one word, SaGa Frontier 2 would be it. This is what a beautiful game score sounds like. The past four SaGa games had been scored by Kenji Ito and SaGa Frontier is a very good soundtrack. However, SaGa Frontier 2 outclasses it by a wide margin and I say that as a big fan of Ito-san's work. SaGa Frontier 2's music is the game that really made me take note of Msashi Hamauzu's work. He would go on to co-compose music for FINAL FANTASY X, write the bulk of FINAL FANTASY XIII's music and would stay on to write music for the XIII sequels. Much as enjoy the FINAL FANTASY XIII soundtracks, SaGa Frontier 2 holds a very special place in my heart. And I'm not talking about from a gameplay perspective. Outside of the first few hours, I couldn't tell you about the story and how far it goes but I could go on and on about this game's marvelous soundtrack. The main theme is present in many tracks and the piano is a very prominent instrument throughout. The Spotify link takes you to a direct soundtrack of the original 3 disc album that spans over 2 hours of music. Clicking on the YouTube link will take you to an extended version of SaGa Frontier 2's music since many tracks only loop once in the original album version. If you're up for for nearly 5 hours of SaGa Frontier 2 music, click the YouTube link.
