My recommendation is to skip it, picking up the OSTs for the Romancing SaGa trilogy instead (and even that nifty SaGa THE STAGE album) before coming here.
This one is for collectors and completionists only. Perhaps that’s why over half the songs on this disc are straight carry-over ports of original RS tunes: at the end of the day, that’s all we ever needed. They’re not bad, but they will not stand the test of time. Do the five original compositions in Romancing SaGa Re univerSe live up to the Romancing SaGa pedigree? Not a chance. I find myself returning to Ito’s incredible trilogy more and more, loving it just as much as I love Uematsu’s big Super Famicom trilogy (FFIV-VI). In my opinion, it has grown all the more interesting over time. The Romancing SaGa trilogy has some of the best, most underrated music from the Super Famicom era. Tracks 7 and 8 are particularly underwhelming … I reckon they are leftover arrangements from the re:tune jazz arrange album I don’t find them compelling at all. Even “Temptation” from SaGa THE STAGE, in newly arranged form, is pretty interesting. I will give a shout-out for the surprise arrangement of SaGa Frontier’s “Battle #1,” which really stands out. Remember those five arranged tracks I mentioned? They’re not all that stellar. That’s not a lot of original music, so quantity is weak here. What I’m getting at, though, is that under 30 minutes of this disc is music exclusive to the Re univerSe soundtrack. If the word “arrange” isn’t there, however, what we have is the exact, original audio from the Super Famicom Romancing SaGa trilogy (and, in a few instances, music from “SaGa THE STAGE,” which is surprisingly cool!). When the tracklist says “arrange from ,” those are new arrangements from previous source material. So that’s 26 minutes of new music, on a disc that is about 49 minutes in length. Again, there are five of these, clocking in at about 11 minutes. These are the first four tracks, plus track six. Five, to be exact, totaling 15 minutes of audio. Yes, there are some entirely original songs.
