While this won't be the most-played of any collection, if you find it for under $15, that's a bargain for any game music. Right now I have to consider whether to put it on eBay or not. Something you wouldn't mind leaving on in the background for quite a while but having only a few truly emotional and memorable moments. And that is what you get out of this soundtrack. Overall, keep in mind that this is a huge strategy-RPG and that the music has to loop for a long, long time. It leads nicely into the intro of the next track, which is probably the most upbeat of the whole CD, leading with guitar first. It's hard to describe but feels like sort of a passive orchestral sound with electronic undercurrents ending with some classic bell tolls. "Sanctity" is probably the second best track.
Granted it is a boss theme and there are a few electric guitar notes at the beginning that make it sound promising, but most of it is such haphazard '80s electronica combined with horror movie oddities (however good that may sound in theory), that you just wonder who let this pass the final cut. I mean much worse than listening to Ys' Dark Tower theme looped over and over and over. But others, like "Bulzome Rising", are horrendous. "Tides of History" has a slow, calm flute and piano with the occasional smashing of drums somewhat reminiscent of Ys. That doesn't mean that there are no tracks worth noting. Unfortunately, I doubt you will hear anyone praising the game's music and therefore it is no surprise that the OST will leave you feeling flat. Cutting-edge graphics on the Saturn and an intense 120-hour storyline with huge, epic battles, of which America missed out on two-thirds of (only the first chapter came out here). 3 (2008) | Shining Wind Drama CD Vol.The three chapters of Shining Force III combine to form perhaps the best ever strategy-RPG. 2 (2008) | Shining Force EXA Drama CD (2008) | Shining Wind Drama CD Vol. 2 Light Side: Yuushatei Hanjouki (2006) | Shining Wind Drama CD Vol. 1 Dark Side: Memories and departure (2006) | Shining Tears Drama CD Vol. Sound Story of Shining and the Darkness (1991) | Shining Force Special Sound CD (1992) | Symphonic Suite Shining Force II (1993) | Symphonic Suite the Another Story of Shining Force (1994) | Shining Wisdom (1995) | Shining the Holy Ark Original Soundtrack (1996) | Shining Force III Original Soundtrack (1998) | Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon Original Sound Tracks (2004) | Shining Tears (2004) | Shining Force Neo Music Collection (2005) | Shining Theme Music Shiro SAGISU Collection (2005) | Shining Tears Music Collection (2005) | Shining Force EXA Music Collection (2007) | Shining Wind Music Collection (2007) | Shining Tears X Wind Original Soundtrack (2007) | Shining Force Feather Soundtrack (2009) | Shining Hearts Kaizoku Hihou Fan Disc (2010) | Shining Force Cross Raid Original Sound Track (2011) | Shining Hearts Original Soundtrack (2011) | Shining Blade Haru no Shin Seikatsu Ouen Fan Disc (2012) | Shining Blade Character Song Album (2012) | Shining Ark Tenshi no Fandisc (2013) | Shining Force Cross Original Sound Track (2014) | Shining Resonance Music Collection (2015)
