Vagrant Story is a gothic epic masterpiece by Hitoshi Sakimoto. The richly stylized soundtrack integrates an array of dark themes with atmospheric sound effects to provide an astonishingly diverse array of emotional tones. The thematically unified whole reflects more than the sum of its melodies, offering a fitting complement to nocturnal spelunking, battling against sinister villains, and climbing the walls of Medieval cathedrals. The techno masterwork "Large Chapel," the scintillating title track, and "City Walls," along with the mysterious "Snowfly Forest" offer a rich backdrop to Ashley Riot's dungeon crawling. Sakimoto is in top form in this classic PSOne action RPG and provides one of the most complex and rewarding soundtracks in game music.
