 The original soundtrack was highly praised ; reviewers noted it as one of the best video game soundtracks of the year , praising the originality of the compositions and the beauty of Emi Evans ' vocal work . The first arranged album , while also warmly received , was perceived by critics to be weaker than the original and not long enough to stand up to the expectations created by the success of the original . The first three albums sold well enough to be recorded on the Japanese Oricon music charts , reaching number 24 for the original soundtrack , 59 for the first arranged album , and position number 77 for the second .
