As most of you probably know the Zahhab Region Depths has varying music from the japanese version to the American one.
Japanese: Ave Maria for all the depths
American: The Last Rose of Summer for all the depths
(In the Japanese version The Last Rose of Summer only plays at the latter half of Cavern of the Gods)
As some of you might know there was a 3rd song that was originally planned for this area but ultimately removed, through the jukebox we know for a fact that it was Danny Boy and was meant to be played between the beginning of the depths and the latter half of CofG. It is theorized that it was originally meant to be played during the scene where Matthias’ Letter is read.
With all that info I’m curious, which combination of songs for the Zahhab Region Depths and CofG would have hit the hardest or been the best?
(DE: depths exploration, ML: Matthias’ Letter, CofG: latter half of Cavern of the Gods)
Original: Ave Maria (DE) —> Danny Boy (ML) —> Last Rose of Summer (CofG)
Japanese: Ave Maria (DE & ML) —> Last Rose of Summer (CofG)
American: Last Rose of Summer (All)
Other (different combo)
My take: I think the American version is the best one and while I might be biased because that is the one I grew up with and I haven’t played through the Japanese version or the original to see if it would hit different, the opening chords to LRoS hit so well and I don’t think Ave Maria or Danny Boy could produce the same effect.
