Monotonous but still very good !!!

The soundtrack for Final Fantasy XIII seems a listen at first monotonous, that is a lot of tracks
listen to quite the same.
Masashi Hamauzu sets for a bit too often a the piano or the violin.
Masashi Hamauzu also made the soundtrack for Dirge of Cerberus, who knows the OST, immediately recognizes that some tracks really so
listen like DoC, so rub.
The music is Fronlastig and that's what the soundtrack is very different from others.
That is the music is composed more for the cutscenes as for the actual gameplay.
However, the OST has a lot of nice pieces as Blinded By Light (Battle Theme), Prelude to FFXIII or the Chocobo theme that is truly unique advised.
Most of the pieces are very beautiful to listen.
Especially friends of the OST of Xen part will have joy because Masashi Hamauzu participated also in this, Fans
Some tracks have potential with which from the Xen part assozieieren.
Even the packaging is so far the highest quality of all the OST to her was of FF, very robust stylish.
But achtetb it to run the originals of Square Enix (SQEX) and not Miya Records (MICA), Mica are the fakes from Taiwan.
So respect, on Amazon you get the SQEX, but also in America Caiman or MusicJP that sell well on Amazon.

Have fun with the music.
your Schlömi !!
