Absolutely. The soundtrack in this game is really amazing. I'm about to put my order in for the soundtrack right now, like a bawse.

It’s a really amazing project that they’ve put together, no doubt. Since I’m already getting a sampler in the CE game, though, I’m going to wait to hear all the cues in-game before deciding whether to spring for the CE OST.

All these composers deserve mad respect. Namco did right by recruiting this numerous and diverse set from different gaming and musical backgrounds. Each one took the time to get to know the characters, story, and thematic expectations of a fighting game.
It can be hard for composers interested in gaming, because game companies almost never employ full-time composers dedicated to their projects (sound directors generally only oversee the work of others). For Namco to land the high-school kid this gig is an extremely fortunate blessing to his career. I wish I could have that luck (a bit more skill and experience might help too).

Anyways, can't wait to hear all the music over and over again with varying levels of attention given to it
