Considering NieR composer Keiichi Okabe wrote the theme song and did the Gilgamesh (Big Bridge) arrangement, there is already reason to hope for an excellent appetizer. However, quantity does not dictate quality, and a shorter work can have a strong impact. Seriously, 26 minutes? That’s nothing compared to everything else. The key disparity between the Gladiolus disc and all the others is obvious: look at the disc times. In turn, I am impressed with the musicians who worked on Episode Ignis! But we will get there, eventually. I imagine Ignis would be proud of my metaphor. Some readers will know of my fondness for food metaphors in music reviews, but let me assure you, this is the first time I’ve come up with one so interesting, that it will be worth reading, if only to understand what exactly is going on with this massive collection of music.Īnd so, here it is: FFXV OST Vol.2 is a four-course meal … with leftovers to take home.
