Shadow Hearts 2

I'm a bit disappointed with this soundtrack. I don't know the new Yoshi, but Yasunori Mitsuda and Kenji Ito are terrific composers. However, it seems like they collaborated for these songs, rather than each doing pieces of the soundtrack and then working them together thematically. To be honest, it's a bit of a let-down and I hope Mitsuda and Ito strike out on their own soundtracks again soon.

Ito should get on doing an orchestrated version of Saga Frontier, for that matter :p.

I see where your coming from. I do prefer the first soundtrack but I do love both of them. For me the SH2 OST has a problem that too many of the songs are floating ambient. The ambient songs for SH1 were excellent but they fall short of that mark here. When there are tunes abound SH2 is just as strong IMHO though.
