Some comments of the linner notes by Sakuraba:
There are a lot of dark songs but since this is a Tales of I had to be moderate.
On the previous game I wanted to make more game-style music, so this time I used more Rythm style instruments and a lot of Synth.
Overall I wanted to use more Chorus-style sounds but it hasn't matched the first half of the game setting. If someday I can arrange some tracks, I will try to use more chorus.
In this soundtrack I had problem with 2 tracks, Magilou, the great sorceress and Rokurou Rangetsu. Are both songs ok...? I asked to myself, but looks like both were ok.
To compose Magilou's song I used for inspiration the character and the seiyuu, it helped me to imagine the setting.
Normally I like the battle theme's tempo but in this soundtrack I like the cheerful melodies like Theme of Laphicet. I think Heart-warming songs are really good.
