Looking at track 9 it says it was arranged by Kenyu Miyotsu, taking a look at Wild arms complete tracks the person credited for that song disc 2 track 39 is Takeo Miratsu. So an Alias maybe?

As a side note the original also has the Keio university chorus credited but it is not on the reprint or complete tracks.

While at the entry for the reprinted Vagrant Story soundtrack, I noticed that there is a Remaster classification. I'm pretty sure this CD falls into that classification. The music, while still the music from the game, sounds "spiffed up" from the full original soundtrack. In addition to the mixing being different between the two versions, some songs use different instruments for certain phrases. In Critical Hit!, the version from the Complete Tracks (and the version from the game) has a trumpet at 0:18, but in this Game Soundtrack, it's a horn. This feels like a definite case of remastering to me.

I think we tend to use Remaster classification when there is another album release that sounds different but otherwise is identical. Plenty of soundtracks get some mastering or whatever when recorded, and I doubt we're going to add Remaster to each of them. Don't know if it's our consensus though.

That's not what 'remaster' means anyway. It means changing the sound quality (usually to make it better but people don't always agree it is), not changing the instruments....especially not changing the instruments compared to the game. This was the original OST release, it can't be "re" anything.
The complete tracks could be considered remastered though, as it was for sure (unfortunetly brickwalled at that...the mastering and track lengths from this release but with all the music would make a much better release....alas that'll never happen)

It seems we should have some sort of category for it though... because when I listened to this CD back when Wild Arms came out, I didn't care for it too much because it's significantly different. The Complete Tracks at least represent how it sounded in the game, even if the mixing is different. This CD... ugh.

Simon's right, it is significantly remastered, and that's aside from the fact that they did change some instruments. But if we call this one a remaster, do we then have to call everything that had some mixing differences "remastered"? We would need to call it something else. It's almost an arrangement.

There used to be another classification for that but alas, much disagreement and confusion around killed it.
Currently I think it's just OST + info in the notes (at this point I'd even dump the remaster classification).

Actually dumping the Remaster classification sounds kinda good :S

Is there a reason that Ennio Morricone isn't credited for composition on this cd? From Wikipedia: "The game's overworld theme "Lone Bird in the Shire", contains the melody from Ennio Morricone's "The Ecstasy of Gold" originally from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly." Wikipedia also claims that " The opening theme "Into the Wilderness" is Ennio Morricone's "Wild Bunch" from My Name is Nobody. " Although after Youtubing "Wild Bunch," I don't hear it; similar style for sure, but not the same melody. Unless I'm listening to the wrong song.

After further Googling, I'm calling BS on the second Wikipedia tidbit. Certainly influenced by Morricone, yes, but not the same song (also, song title is wrong, further casting doubt). But the Morricone composition on "Lone Bird in the Shire" is indisputable.
