Square Enix has released seven tracks from Star Ocean: The Second Story R on multiple digital platforms including Spotify and YouTube. These early releases act as a preview for the upcoming full soundtrack, which the company will release in November 2023.
The aggregate link that Square Enix shared lets people choose the platform to listen to the tracks. Other than Spotify and YouTube, the tracks from the second Star Ocean entry’s remake are also available on Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Deezer. The link also includes Japanese music platforms, such as Awa, Mora, Recochoku, and Dwango JP.
Here is the list of seven tracks that are available to stream. All of them are new arranged versions that Motoi Sakuraba made for The Second Story R.
- “The venerable forest”
- “Pure a stream”
- “Deadly hatred”
- “Shower of blossoms”
