That's actually why I played Star Ocean 3, Golden Sun, and the Tales series. I really liked his Mario Tennis stuff, and heard similar music in "Best of RPG battle themes" videos, so I checked it out.
Even without percussions this theme seems to show just as much energy with just piano. As always Mr. Motoi’s repurposed version is a joy to listen to. SO3 still amongst my top 10 RPGs of all time
