Now that I'm truly and utterly done with CS2, let me rant about its music for a bit.

Even if you didn't like Crow for whatever reason, you've got to admit that the tracks dedicated to him are toptier.
'Blue Destination' is this generation's 'Silver Will' and 'Azure Arbitrator'.

How can a song as uplifting and epic be the final boss theme?! It's amazing, this track and the atmosphere surrounding the "final trial" made it feel more like a friendly bout at the end of a journey than a battle for life and death.

I really appreciate the ED theme for incorporating leitmotifs of various other tracks, including (but not limited to) the OPs of Cold Steel I and II. It's a perfect song to conclude the tale of Class VII.
The photographs showing our class members' life after graduation are a nice touch as well.

All in all I'm very satisfied with the auditory direction of this game; Cold Steel II definitely improved on Cold Steel I's performance in that regard. Dunno why people keep saying that the music in Trails games fell off after Azure.
