Agreed. I was super hyped for NGS but man what a disappointment that was. Couldn't believe that Id just rather have a continuation of just regular pso2 instead.
My gosh, do I love it as well. Those violins are amazing. But extend that by a bit because 7:56 to 8:16 is my favorite part. That piano is so soothing...
The mobile PSP game had some great tracks but overall I know what you mean. There are a few gems, like the "Creative Space" and "Tsukimi Central City (Day)" themes.
