Less than a score of striking songs

Radiant Historia doesn't have a huge variety of music. I'm about 2/3 through the game at this point and I've heard a handful of different background songs. There's one for general field traversing, one for towns, one for scenes meant to be touching, one for hardcore boss battles, and one for scenes meant to be action packed.

There have been others (the one playing while Stocke and co. wander Cygnus is pretty catchy), but those are the five that stand out (and are repeated) the most.

But, oh boy, that theme for action scenes can really get you pumped. Particularly when you're navigating your way through an enemy solider-filled desert with ballista bolts and arrows constantly raining down. That theme, however often repeated, has really made the assault on Dias' troops in the Itolia Wasteland an exciting section of the game.

So far there haven't been any hints that this section will end with a battle between Stocke and Dias (it's still leaning more towards King Garland and Dias), but at the least hopefully the section doesn't fizzle into an anticlimax.
