"Last Battle Prototype" is a scaled-down version of "Nascent Requiem", lacking the excellent opening and transitional segments from the final version as well as some additional instrumentation. "Fang's Theme") has a fuller sound in OST Plus, but its lead instruments don't have quite as much punch as in the original soundtrack. The backing instrumentation in "Shugeki" (a.k.a. The standout battle theme "Boss Battle Alpha" doesn't have quite as much oomph in the bass spectrum as its final OST version "Saber's Edge", and the piano is mixed less prominently, but a casual fan not listening to the two back to back might be hard-pressed to tell. In general these lose the live orchestral elements from the final versions in favor of the sequenced orchestra used during production, but the sound quality is robust enough that they hold up well. The most significant portion of OST Plus is the "alpha" and "prototype" versions of orchestral tracks from the original soundtrack. Yet when it comes to the question of which album I'd rather spend my time and money on, Original Soundtrack Plus wins out. It includes far less music in all, with the selections present consisting mostly of pre-final instrumentals or altered vocals, and only a couple truly new arrangements. Reviews Less complete and less polished than the regular OST, but with a more palatable selection of music overall.īy all estimation Final Fantasy XIII Original Soundtrack Plus should be an inferior album to the complete four-disc original soundtrack.
