"A Peaceful Place" opens with this gentle calm that immediately tells you home base is safe. "Kick About!!" brings the action energy, upbeat and scrappy like a fight you're barely winning. Then "from Pavane for a Dead Princess" borrows from Ravel with this aching classical beauty that stops the whole game in its tracks.
"The Spider Spins His Final Web" is wonderfully ominous, tension building through restraint rather than volume. The vocal tracks at the end, especially "MistyRain 七月の雨," add this J-pop layer that grounds everything back in its visual novel roots.
For anyone who wants RPG music that knows when to punch and when to just sit quietly with you.
