VG Soundtrack of the Day 050: Secret of Mana


Known as Seiken Densetsu 2 in Japan, Secret of Mana was originally going to be a game for the scrapped SNES CD add-on. The game would have had CD quality audio but when Secret of Mana was bought back down to SNES levels, naturally CD audio fell through. This wasn't a negative, however. Even without CD sound quality, composer Hiroki Kikuta wrote an extremely compelling musical score and for a lot of fans, the PS4 soundtrack from the 2018 remake doesn't come close to surpassing the original SNES 1993 soundtrack. There are a myriad of outstanding songs to love from Secret of Mana. Pure Night, Dark Star, A Bell is Tolling, Angel's Fear, Now Flightless Wings; there is not a single sub par song on this entire soundtrack. If this is your first time hearing this soundtrack, I am super jelly. I'd love to be able to hear this for he first time again.
