"Utterly amazing" and a list of titles is not context. Why is EACH ONE awesome? And describing a track as "worth mentioning" is not context, it's Word Cruft. Go straight to mentioning it, then explain WHY it's worth mentioning.

* ''Episode II'' was a weird one. It had two composers: Shinji Hosoe, who took care of the in-game music and low-quality cinematics, and Music/YukiKajiura, who took care of the music for the high-quality cinematics. Kajiura's tracks are utterly amazing, special mentions going to:

* However, while a lot are quick to put down Hosoe's tracks as being of "lesser quality" than Kajiura's, or Mitsuda's Episode I tracks, his work here is honestly still really good, especially [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njeMfiMF3M8 the normal battle]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRRFMSh3noo major boss battle]] themes, the latter of which is significant given ''Episode I'' never had a dedicated boss theme of its own.

It had two composers: Music/ShinjiHosoe, who took care of the in-game music and low-quality cinematics, and Music/YukiKajiura, who took care of the music for the high-quality cinematics. The thing is, Hosoe's music was... shockingly mediocre at best, and downright ''unbearable'' to listen to at worst! Which is baffling considering Hosoe has shown in other franchises, both before and after his work on ''Xenosaga'', that he's a competent composer. But on the other hand, the music by Kajiura is considered some of the best ever composed of all UsefulNotes/TheSixthGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames.

** The reason that many consider Ep.2's soundtrack to be subpar is that in-game music and cutscene music were handled by separate composers. Yuki Kajiura composed the cutscenes, using her usual ethnic-techno-choir style; while Shinji Hosoe composed the area themes and used '80s-chiptune styled music which didn't mesh terribly well with Kajiura's and was maybe a bit too repetitive when contrasted with it (and with the silent dungeons of the first game). Listening to the OST as an album is likely a more impressive aural experience as Hosoe's compositions are absent and the standout tracks like Communication Breakdown come at you in more-rapid succession. In fairness, however, some of the dungeon BGM from later in the game (like the Ormus Stronghold) is actually quite good - it's just that the gratingly repetitive Second Miltia theme is a difficult pill to swallow and is likely the first thing that comes to mind when one is asked to recall XS2's soundtrack.
