Gate of the World Sound Track

I have been a fan of most of Ragnarok Online’s artwork since they were made by great Korean artist like SR. Youkan and UFORANGE.
With RO2: Gate of the World now in BETA state it will be a matter of time that Ragnarok Online 2 will be coming into Philippine gaming territory

What I love more than the stunning artwork concept of the game and the more interactive anime like emoticons/ reactions is the music itself

Yokko Kanno the highly recognized producer/composer of major anime soundtracks and OST and collaborations with other greats such as ORIGA has been well known for her projects like

Ghost In the Shell
Cowboy Bebop
Wolfs Rain
And other Video games like Napple Tale

She is now in cooperation with Gravity making about 90+ songs for the BGM and soundtrack for Ragnarok Online 2: Gate of the World
Noticeable on the element of her music is the strong reference to Celtic instrumentals and melodic chants that are highly popular as well in her previous works.

The Official RO2 Website can give you a glimpse of the BGMS
My favorite being Din Don Dan Dan Fo and Koukai FO.
There is no official CD yet for both the game and the OST since they are still in development but for those who would like to listen in to additional scores of the soundtrack heres a good site with streaming music
