LNCM-1133~4: Shin Megami Tensei IV FINAL ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK

[IJustDontKnowAnymore]

Any chance of an English tracklist going up? Below is my shitty attempt, and for some honestly I just don't know so I left the same. If someone who's more familiar with Japanese would try I'd love it. I'm aware there's a tracklist floating around now already, but it's kinda inaccurate and it seems like it exaggerates some of the track names, or just adds words that aren't there.

Some additions:

D1, 06: Kinshicho - Kinshi Park

D1, 12: Large Map

D1, 13: Fairy Forest

D1, 14: Recovery Spring

D1, 16: Kanda Shrine - Stone Chamber

D1, 18: Battle - f3: Shesha

D1, 19: Interaction


D2, 02: Asahi

D2, 08: Outer Universe

[IJustDontKnowAnymore]

For 12/13, should they be as you initially proposed, or more like "Spring of Recovery"? And I know D2, 08 is referencing the dungeon linked here, so shouldn't the name include "YHVH" somewhere in there? Like, "YHVH Outer Universe"?

"Recovery Spring" has the exact same Japanese title as the track and location in Nocturne. It's how it's translated in the Nocturne OST on here. Now, that place was called "Fountain of Life" in the English localization of the game, a nice embellishment, but we might as well be consistent with the Nocturne OST translation. "Fairy Forest" is how 妖精の森 is written in English when you first scan the place, and reads well enough.

I would also refrain from using YHVH in the other track since it's not part of the title.

[Civ]

In the interest of consistency, wouldn't it be appropriate to change 1.04 Kinshicho Underground Shopping Center to Kinshicho Underground District since it uses the same kanji as the underground districts from the Shin Megami Tensei IV Original Soundtrack (地下街)? Would it also be appropriate to change 1.20 Mansion of Heresy to Cathedral of Shadows since this is what it was localized as in Shin Megami Tensei IV?

[Eirikr]

Yes, absolutely.

[IJustDontKnowAnymore]

Wouldn't a more accurate title for 2.10 be "Battle - f8 To Become Gods Enemy", rather than the current title?

[Dag]

The current title is good, the general meaning is one that opposes/takes revenge/fights against a god.

[Soanevalcke6]

I was wondering if anyone knew which songs were composed by Tsukasa Masuko and which were composed and arranged by Ryota Koduka? Third Decision sounds like an arrangement of a Tsukasa Masuko track to me, but I can't remember of what.

[Dag]

In the liner notes Kozuka talks about the origins of each track, most being arrange/phrases from SMT4 or other SMT4F pieces.

He only identifies 2.14 as being from SMT1 (quite obvious).
2.15 is a mix of sorts which includes 4.20 from SMT4 originally composed by Kenichi Tsuchiya (and maybe indirectly the law theme by Tsukasa Masuko)
Third Decision (2.04) is said to be from 1.03 + 1.05.

I didn't check super closely tho, maybe there are others.

[Soanevalcke6]

Hmm okay. 2.04 and 2.16 sound so much like something from SMT1 or 2, and I just can't put my finger on it, but that must be because they aren't.
