Stunning

"First of all, do not pay $57 - go to YesAsia, PlayAsia, Overstock or one of the sellers here to purchase it far cheaper. But on the other hand...
...this CD set is absolutely beautiful. I don't suggest you listen to the (2-Disc) set until you beat the game. Some of the music, particularly closer to the end, are dramatic, soft and stunning. Play this soundtrack with some headphones on - you'll see what I mean. The way the music is put together is so emotive that you may feel as if you want to cry and there are others that you just want to rock to. If you're familiar with Tales of Symphonia and the Mega Man X series, some songs sound like they belong on either game(s). The song list is so long because there are other "bits" which are simply sound effects, such as the "leveling up" tune.
Give this one a chance. Once you listen to the music from Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, you'll see how gorgeous video game music can really be in addition to the deep storyline in the game."
