What the heck is this soundtrack?

[King of Evil]

This opening theme? The music in the first town!? What the hell happened to the epic symphony!? This J-pop techno crap sucks!

BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL WESTERN GCN SOUNDTRACK!

[Leonia]

Tales has always had J-pop crap.

The Japanese GC opening, if you're curious.

That is what it originally was - well, a new version of that song.

[King of Evil]

Well it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks! And I'm now noticing all the music is different! What the hell!? It's all techno & stupid!

[5onic]

The intro theme definitely sucks, regardless of any other reason.

[MabinoZerk]

The only music that was different in the English GameCube version was the opening theme and a song played right before a certain boss battle. All the other music was the same as the Japanese version, and that's the case for this version as well. The only difference was that the GC music was more compressed.

[King of Evil]

Maybe I just think the compressed version sounds better then because I'm more used to it. Either way, the intro song needs to go back to this!

I got a friend who's working on a mod to replace the JP opening song with the original one.

Now all that's left is for the game its self to be fixed.

"original one", well sorry to inform you but the japanese is the original one, since its an japanese game ;)

Original or not the western opening music is way better. They should at least give us an option to change it in the game.

There is no better or not. Atleasst no universially. But i agree an choice would have been better, evem more since they semmingly included both version in the files.

this will be back shortly, he managed to get it to work he's just working on video quality now.
It will erase the JP opening song all together.

I'm now curious. Which certain boss battle was it?
