Tales OSTs are pretty bad when it comes to composer credits, but this one deserves a prize.
They have full liner notes by two "sound staff" dudes, but no names are mentioned anywhere. Bravo.
My guess is Sakuraba in p.05 (he talks about the usual FMV music) and Tamura in 06.
EDIT: random info.
Missing tracks:
- "Day break" (inn jingle, also in ToD).
- "Heat Wave" (this was for certain bosses in ToD PS, was replaced by 4.01; found in the game files, don't think it plays anywhere).
- "夢であるように - ピアノアレンジ"/"夢であるように - ピアノアレンジ2": Two arrangements for Yume de aru you ni used in important scenes. These are actually cut from 4.21 so they aren't really new music.
For some reason "Sink into vice" is now shorter (unlike most tracks), pretty plain.
Some track titles were fixed/renamed compared to the sound test (Berglandt > Belcrant, Mysteries Night > Mysterious Night, etc) too.
Also, it may not be well known, but ToP SFC, ToD PS (two tracks), ToP PS and ToD2 had some nifty piano "Sakuraba Solos" (complete with a Sakuraba NPC) that aren't included anywhere. In ToD PS2 he plays 3.29. Shinji Tamura also had a song in ToP PS, and they both appear in Narikiri Dungeon's (GB) secret staff room.
