I could not possibly disagree more. The nasal chanting is very distinct and attractive, it's the rest of the song with the singer singing in Engrish (not the Sylphic) that falls flat, as most Engrish does. Yes, that includes Persona 3 and 4's Engrish. Sorry. They're good because of the catchy music, not the absurd vocals.

I was honestly hoping it would stay more nasal and choral and they would go for an Ar tonelico/noSurge style of battle theme. We're definitely missing one of those, especially since they're pretty much universally acclaimed.

(I totally don't see the point of insulting Soken though? Because seriously, he does some amazing work and I'm of mind that Uematsu hasn't put an entire soundtrack above "average" in about 15 years, with only a few singular hits here and there. Lots of nostalgia speaking when it comes to Uematsu and lots of knee jerking when it comes to Soken. I never really saw this type of hate for composers on XI's forums; Mizuta is damn good, too and certainly doesn't deserve it, either way.)
