Xuse's cult-classic tactical RPG visual novel hybrid got a soundtrack that punches well above its weight for a 2003 Windows release.

"Power politics" brings a colder, more calculating tension that fits the warring factions perfectly. The emotional core is where this soundtrack really shines. "for your heart" is one of those melodies that sticks with you long after the credits roll, and the sadness version strips it down to something almost unbearably tender.
"a gleam of hope" and "Natural garden" offer these brief windows of warmth between all the battlefield anxiety, while "The end of our time" and "Lost Days" hit with real narrative weight. The bookends tell the whole story.
"The Spirit" opens with quiet mystery, and "At the End of This Earth -Ending Theme-" closes everything out with the kind of finality that the Eternity Sword saga deserves. For fans of mid-2000s VN-SRPG crossovers who want music that actually earns its dramatic moments, this one delivers.
