Square Enix Music Online rated the soundtrack an eight out of ten , stating that it " goes a little step further compared to its ancestors " , and praised the quality of the orchestral renditions , calling them " superior to Professor Layton and the Unwound Future , which already had fantastic arrangements . " RPGfan likewise praised the orchestral songs , and also spoke highly of the rest of the soundtrack , particularly " The Last Specter 's Theme " , stating that it was " sure to win over most any video game music fan . " Though the game was released within Japan during November 2009 , the game did not appear at E3 2010 alongside '' Unwound Future '' and the Nintendo 3DS sequel to '' Last Specter '' , '' Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask '' , which were both announced at the event .
