Put simply, the FFXIII-2 soundtrack is unlike anything else in the Final Fantasy music catalog. Which was by design — the composers set out to make it sound like something unlike the rest of the series, and in that they absolutely succeeded.

While certain motifs remain from the first game, for the most part the FFXIII-2 soundtrack is an eclectic blend of everything from orchestral to pop and electronic and even rap music in a few memorable places. Vocal themes are scattered throughout the soundtrack, and each area with battles has multiple versions for battle themes. All in all, it makes for a fantastic soundtrack, and one that shouldn't be missed — it's easily one of my favorite soundtracks in the series.

Like the previous game, FFXIII-2 received a PLUS soundtrack of unreleased and bonus material. Like FFXIII's PLUS album, I find a lot of the tracks quite similar to the originals, although there are a few tracks I enjoy a lot, such as this version of "The Last Hunter" and the new "Clash on the Big Bridge" mix from the Gilgamesh DLC. Still, unless you're a big fan of the soundtrack I'd give it a pass.
