You see, in the album’s (sparse) credits, the composer for the entire 28-track album is solely Kenji Ito. The confusion, however, comes from an entirely different dilemma. Do I remain angry nonetheless? Yes, yes, I do. Am I entitled to any of it? Of course not. While Imperial SaGa eclipse is a digital-only release, you need access to Japan-only services (such as an iTunes or Amazon account linked to a Japanese billing address) to grab it. At least with the first Imperial SaGa Original Soundtrack, I had a physical copy of the two CD set to peruse artwork and get a general sense of the game. Listening to great music for a game I cannot easily access, let alone understand, is always frustrating. The original title, with original characters and a story that doesn’t rely on past titles, has zero chance of being localized. My anger is simple enough: I will never play Imperial SaGa in its base form or its eclipse upgrade. Neither of these feelings are direct reflections on the quality of the music rather, they act as reminders that I simply cannot have what I want. Unfortunately, after listening to this digital-only, Japan-only soundtrack, I am left with two primary feelings: anger and confusion.
So what do they have in common besides being SaGa games? They both feature original compositions from series composer and master of melodies Kenji Ito! The eclipse portion demarcates new content and upgraded features for Imperial SaGa, which runs as a web-based game as opposed to Re univerSe being a mobile title. What is this title, you ask? It’s Square Enix’s other live service game in the SaGa franchise that, remarkably, is still running well after its 2015 launch (though it remains a Japan exclusive). After taking a deep dive into Romancing SaGa Re univerSe Original Soundtrack vol.2, I decided to check out the soundtrack for Imperial SaGa eclipse.
