This illustrious piece toys with the emotions. Dissonance gives way to consonance darkness succumbs to light for mere moments and then fades back again into most certain, illimitable darkness. The complex harmonic nature of this track is very well suited to an introductory theme it is complex in its progressions but also very moving. The instrumentation and orchestration is very powerful and foreboding. Sakimoto's introductory theme, 'Catastrophe', is presented magnificently and sets the musical intonation for the soundtrack in a very oppressive light. Given my overly extensive reviewing method, that will hopefully be enough to give some insight into this phenomenal score. Due to the very large number of tracks in this game I will be only illustrating a portion of the themes. The spirit of each of these qualities is represented appropriately within the layout of the soundtrack.Īllow me to explain and cite examples as to why this makes Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together such a subliminally excellent work. Therein lies more diversified fundamental qualities of the human experience things such as hope, sadness, redemption, vengeance, anger, and wonder. Sakimoto and Iwata have upgraded their arsenal extensively. While there is no shortage of excellent battle themes on the soundtrack, more consideration and care has been given to providing a significant number of contrasting emotional textures.

Whereas the Ogre Battle: Mach of the Black Queen soundtrack anchored its success in championing formidable battle themes, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together differentiates itself in many ways, particularly in diversifying the emotional qualities that the soundtrack is able to explore while still retaining a relative quality to the Ogre Battle musical idiom. Continuing in the tradition of the Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen soundtrack, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together features some of the most wonderfully adventurous battle music you could hope for. It is no surprise that when two quality composers, Masaharu Iwata and Hitoshi Sakimoto, team up for a soundtrack that the end result will be nothing short of phenomenal.
