Knight of Ratatosk, a.k.a Dawn of the New World takes place immediately after Lloyd and Collette merges the two worlds together. Due to this great change, a new chaos is born and the game starts with the blood bath of Palmacosta in which the protagonist Emil is orphaned.
Although revenge, destruction and chaos are big parts of the game, the idea of overcoming these obstacles through friendship, partnership that eventually lead a world toward true rebirth take an even bigger role therefore the mood of the game has never been excessively dark. To suit this hopeful, sunny atmosphere, the music in the game are mostly upbeat as exemplified by the theme song, Misono's Three Legged Race in the first track.
The new characters Emil and Marta have new musical themes that suit their personalities while old characters like Collette and people from Lloyd's gang have their themes edited and remixed to match their matured roles.
Journey from chaos to rebirth in the game and revitalize yourself by listening to its music.
Four discs full of some of the best music ever heard in the Even if "Tales of Symphonia: Ratatosk no Kishi" was said to be a complete disaster, I dare to disagree. The gameplay was good, it had interesting and somewhat memorable characters, and awesome, epic music.
Which is now brought to you via these four CD's.
Considering that the Wii game reused some music tracks from the original GameCube game, you could say that this soundtrack nets you music from two epic "Tales of" games. There is music for all sorts of situations, so you can easily play these discs in your CD player no matter what you are doing at the time. There are sad tracks, such as "Standing the pain" or "Eternal promise", and then there are upbeat, catchy tracks such as "Like a glint of light" (which appeared during the GameCube game) and "The wilderness of sadness", which is bound to be one of the best final boss musics ever.
All fans of the game(s), as well as of Motoi Sakuraba's music overall, should really consider buying this. You will love it, trust me.
