Motoi Sakuraba

I first heard Star Ocean 2 (while I was playing the game) and I remember quite a few tracks being memorable, however I thought the score (at the time) was 'immature' I didn't like his style back then.

Then I heard Star Ocean 3 (when I downloaded the soundtrack) - I listened to a few tracks and didn't listen to it again for two years until I played the game.

It was then when Baten Kaitos and Tales of Symphonia OSTs came out. I thought Tales of Symphonia had terrible sound quality so disregarded it. Then I gave Baten Kaitos a good listen then LOVED the style, though I had to play Star Ocean 3 and Tales of Symphonia to appreciate the music, they are now some of my top soundtracks

There isn't one track of Sakuraba's I do not like, though I want to play Valkyrie Profile as I find it difficult to listen to its soundtrack (though I like the Arrange Album) - I think that's the only way I could appreciate that OST.

Baten Kaitos Battle themes rule! SO2 & 3, ToS rules - Everything rules! (or rocks)

He one of my top fav composers - *chants Motoi*

Jam it back in, in the dark.
