I thought Motoi Sakuraba's work in Tales of Symphonia and Tales of the Abyss was pretty damn good... Star Ocean : Till the End of Time... not so much.... the music didn't quite sound as good as SO1 or SO2... since he did good with Tales of the Abyss I suspect he's gone back to the good days... or SO3 was just one of those projects he was drunk on or something...

I haven't tried out the recent tales games lately (however, I'm sure he never fails to make the music great in the tales series). But Sakuraba was getting lame at the start of SO3. Some songs was such a huge turn off that I couldn't complete SO3 at that one time. VP2's music was just disappointing. It was nothing like part 1. Why do you think they give the ability to change theme songs during a battle? ;p What's with all that damn piano and jazz? Sorry fans who like all that jazz but he's just reaching that peak (or so I thought since I like the music in IU site). Can't blame the guy since he's always doing so much for every other game. They say that story comes first than graphics. Well I'm sort of in for the story and the music. The graphics I can care less as long as they can execute a great battle system whether its 2d or 3d.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
