I have it on my iPod and I sometimes I listen to it if I have trouble falling asleep. I don't know the names of any of the songs, as the entire soundtrack I downloaded isn't translated, with all the titles represented with Japanese hiragana/kanji characters. But one of my favorites is the song that is supposed to be "Mitsuhide's Theme" (I think, it's number 26 on the list). And the one song that always plays during battles against the Takeda clan is pretty awesome, always got me pumped. All in all, all the songs are beautiful in their own way. I liked how certain characters had their own themes, and that there were different pieces to set the mood. Kessen III probably has one of my favorite game soundtracks of all time, actually. I'm just glad Kessen III didn't have some cheesy Asian rock/techno, that's for sure.

The name is Okuni of Izumo... shall we dance to this ballad of fire and steel? Posts: 3,815 Group: Moderators Member #1,112 Joined: March 16, 2006 Gender Male	The Akechi-Ashikaga battle theme is awesome. Strong, and has that slightly pompousness to it that characterizes some of their guys.

Sakon, has left the topic. Posts: 3,638 Group: Members Member #9,265 Joined: August 19, 2007 Gender Male	Kessen III in particular had a lovely soundtrack to it. I felt it suited the era and style of game play extremely well, no complaints in that department at all. Unlike playing the likes of DW5, while the soundtrack is great I don't feel it represents the era very well, granted, it represents the action game play in its place though.

Very true. And with DW 's music, I usually get sick of the song around the 3rd time I've listened to it. But with Kessen III's soundtrack, I still continue to listen again and again and I still enjoy it. Something rather exciting I noticed, apparently Ieyasu's theme in Kessen III is the same score from the original Kessen! About 1 minute into this video you can hear it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1JNL2QUReA
