For his second project for Square, Hiroki Kikuta composed music for the third Seiken Densetsu project, aided by 18 year-old sound programmer Hidenori Suzuki. The volume of music for the original soundtrack tripled that of the previous game, reflecting the broader ambitions of the epic Super Famicom sequel. The composer created distinct themes for such diverse settings as woodland villages, sprawling plains, volcanic craters, snowy mountain peaks, tropical forests, ruined pyramids, Medieval castles, and the rolling expanses of the in-game oceans. It is a true testament to the success of the soundtrack that it has received lasting attention from international game music fans despite the fact that Squaresoft criminally decided against releasing the epic masterpiece outside of Japan. A truly memorable game soundtrack, Seiken Densetsu 3 belongs alongside the OST's of Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger in the collections of Super Famicon game music enthusiasts.
