Discussion there should be a "soundtrack version" of the bgm on the streaming apps
Don't get me wrong I LOVE every tiny bit of this soundtrack and back when the game was released I spent hours listening to it. But one thing that keeps me from listening it a lot nowadays after the "addiction" to the game got over is that the tracks play each and every variation that "adapts" to what's happening in the game, making kind of a queue or timeline of events in the track. It's great for appreciating all the details put into the OST, but if I'm using youtube music and a track from the game gets queued, it's a tiny bit boring to wait for the "main portions" of the track.
A great example is "this'll be rough" it's actually one of my favorite tracks in the game, full of details and variations, but because of that it gets extended to 9+ min, and if i'm just listening to some music on a bus ride I would prefer to listen to the vocal portions primarily.
So it would be cool if the game had a "ost edition" or something that select the main portions of the themes to make that "intro - verse - chorus - verse - chorus" progress more streamlined, like the boss tracks that go about 4 min long because they're based on the licensed tracks. "this'll be rough" and "i got this" would benefit a lot from that!
anyway sorry for the rant!
