What really got me on this train of thought was actually this:

Which evolves into the following themes as the game progresses:

Now, imo, the ideal solution is to simply have dungeon music with a ~5-8 minute main loop that plays through your minor battles. But that's about as appropriate for Hero's Realm as a Sphere Grid is.

That said, I was always considering discussing with piano and kentona about having a second battle theme for Chapter 5. Maybe even a different one for an especially foreign character like Dragon Quest 4. I know Piano is totally down for it as I would be too.

Whatever you end up doing, I'm sure it'll be sick! I dig what you've done so far a lot.

Obviously things like the Ginyu force will be different in Heroic Edition, but what about Mephistocles? Will he be Satan, Asmodeus, or Mephisto now?

Satancles? Asmodeuscles? Baalcles? Testicles?

...Kentonacles.

I'm a bit concerned that the same 90 second loop is going to be playing during... every non-boss battle encounter in the game? It's been so long that I forget if HR originally had a battle theme for each chapter.
The final version that zDS has done is a lot more pleasing to the ears. I don't see why it should be a problem, when most AAA games have had 60 to 100+ hour runtimes since the early 90s and have never changed up their standard battle themes. I don't even know if that's something people talk about.

B-But I'm talking about it! Am I people?

The "AAA" RPGs of yesteryear did a lot of things the genre shouldn't be proud of, like locking playable characters behind a safe-cracking minigame to sell paperback guidebooks.

The actual answer was that listening to anyone JPRG battle theme for 60 hours was grating and soul-crushing ~~unless it was Mystic Quest's theme~~, but we just sort of dealt with it because we didn't know better. Granted, this is a game that hinges on random encounters and hidden items, but people are nostalgic for the type of tune. Not the quantity of that tune.
