I can't believe I forgot about this, but there's one example of western game music from 1993 I know of -- SORT of.
Interplay 10 Year Anthology: https://vgmdb.net/album/2008 This is the actual game disc with redbook audio. Two tracks, the ones from Buzz Aldron Race Into Space, are for orchestra. Now here's the kicker -- the CD Rom version of the game was released in 1994 and I actually don't know if they are on there. The game itself is NOT one of the games on the disc, just the trailer for it (which uses this music of course). |

What? Falcom Neo Classic is not a compilation album. The arrangements are totally different (better, imo) and the medleys feature different tracks than Symphony Ys at least (can't say about Symphony Sorcerian as I still don't have that album). Last edited by Aifread; Aug 19, 2018 at 06:18 PM. |

By the way, Takayuki Hattori is my favorite orchestrator of VGM because of those two albums I just mentioned and my all-time favorite orchestral album, Seiken Densetsu: Put Your Thoughts to Music. I love love love the Spanish flavor and variety of that album.

You might want to add Panzer Dragoon to your "Japan 1995" list, since, like Arc the Lad, it featured an orchestral main theme, and also came out before Arc the Lad.

Some news about Koei's Soundware system. I've discovered that 2 games were released in Japan for the MSX computers bundled with the audio CD in 1989 and 7 more the following years until 1992) :
Bandit Kings of Ancient China https://www.generation-msx.nl/softwa...1835/#rel_5230 Nobunaga's Ambition II https://www.generation-msx.nl/softwa...1321/#rel_5229 You can notice the Compact Disc and the Soundware logos on the game covers. For now I don't know how exactly the game could be synchronized with the CD but the sticker "with Soundware CD" on some of the games let me think Koei wanted to advertise this special musical feature. I only know that most of CD-Rom drive could be connected to the MSX with an IDE or SCSI adapter (they were already available in 1989). I'm still investigating to know more about that.

UPDATE : I've noticed that a CD-Rom FM Towns port of Pacific Theater of Operations was released in april 1990 (according to 2 different sources, Moby Games and Gamefaqs), so 8 months before Wizardry V. I really don't know why I didn't think to check that before ! That means that PTO is now the very first video game fully orchestral score (both on PC-88 with synchronized CD and on FM Towns with the full CD-Rom version). Looks like Hiroshi Miyagawa is finally our winner !
