 RPGFan 's Neal Chandran was mostly negative regarding the album . He called the majority of tracks " just plain boring " , while he felt that the more exiting tunes " lack punch " . Some pieces such as " Captive Saint " he called " superficially pretty , but that 's really it " , while the remixes of music pieces by Uematsu he called " brief , but awful " . Huynh shared many points of criticism with Chandran , finding multiple tracks boring as they were just slight variations on tracks from the main soundtrack album , though some tracks such as " Dying World " and the piano version of " Serah 's Theme " were praised .
