2-17 - The sub-title of this track reads "古志城" (Koshi Castle), but the in-game title (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYwbOeVSSUo) is actually "Battle of Koshi Castle", one of many battlefield BGM names beginning with "Battle of" in this soundtrack and franchise. To remain consistency, I shall title it as "Battle of Koshi Castle"
@Arc1984

Can you make a couple of changes to these to more closely match the original?

1. The secondary part of the title should match the style of the original text, so -Opening- instead of (Opening).

2. Replace ~ with ~. We replace the japanese unicode punctuation characters with the western equivalent in all english and romaji tracklists.

Thanks.

@Arc1984

Thanks. By the way, some of your earlier translations got changed by Manarchy before I realized that he was posting info from sound test or digital sources, which should be submitted as a separate tracklist. Feel free to change any of those changes back if they are too different than the original source.

I understand. I'll use those sources as a pointer to better officialize track names that aren't translated in-game, like those mood/situational titles, which can be quite objective in word-use.
