This thread has garnered some attention! Like Razakin and Hellacia, I am of the same mind that The Oath in Felghana is a masterpiece of VGM, it's one of my all-time favorites and I wouldn't be without but a single track on it (I don't care for the game over track). For me, the examples posted here aren't so bad. It's just that it's too easy (for me, at least) to start making comparisons to Felghana's arrangement quality right away, and then sure, this stuff will seem lackluster. Maybe I'm unfairly expecting something of this soundtrack. When it comes out, I look forward to listening to it in full and getting a feel for its entirety, because the samples can only do it so much justice as a full musical work.
