Sounds like it could be useful for your research!
I actually own the album so thanks for the info! It'll be easy for me to check out. Definitely something I'm going to hunt down youtube videos of to examine, thanks!

I'll grow through my collection now to see if any games are noteworthy of mentioning. I'd also look into Star Ocean 3. Styles and genre of music definitely have reason and isn't there to just be there.

Hey Roo Radiata Stories is a good tip, like FFXII the concept of a "split town" came late in RPG's lives and definitely helps further adapting town music. One of the problems I'll touch upon is how a "town theme" will capture all parts of a town and, in early cases, many different towns.

Keep 'em comin'
