You can read our translation for the songs below and listen to the new samples as well. Hence, Hope’s theme is the same as Bhunivelze’s, and that’s the biggest spoiler in LR.The official website of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Original Soundtrack Plus was updated during the weekend with the full Japanese tracklist and ten new samples including a few main character themes. It also shows up in Meeting You and Last Resort, both scenes revolving around Hope. Plus, remember the Ark, the New Cocoon, is also called ‘Bhunivelze’, and is featured as the main theme in Almighty Bhunivelze. The Ark is a ¾ choir arrangement of Hope’s Theme in XIII-2, which was 6/8 and it’s a clever musical way to say Hope in LR is his split-up adult self. What I mean is, everyone got a revision on their theme songs on the new ost, except for Hope, who didn’t get an objective theme for himself at all. The game itself uses music from the previous two games, not only the new ost ones. Also in the same area at another time the game plays the academy theme too. The one that really sticks out like a sore thumb to me is the research camp one (I forget which one it was though).

And he’s the only one who was left out.Īlso in certain areas at particular times we hear all of Hope’s other themes. Sazh, Dahj, Noel, Yeul, Fang, Vanille, Snow, Lightning, Serah had her theme comeback, Lumina, Caius. And even though I agree with it and consider the ark’s theme to be Hope’s theme, everyone got a theme with an explicit reference to theirselves. I am pretty sure that it’s been established that Hope’s theme for LR is The Ark tunes. Lightning Returns – Special Trailer Ver….While we wait for Lightning Returns OST Plus to come out tomorrow, listen to the previews of all the tracks in the album here! The album will come out in the West some time in April.
