The .hack//G.U. Soundtrack

[Hemphyll]

First of all, G.U. has one of the most BEAUTIFUL soundtracks I've ever heard. Almost every track, especially the gentle, vocal ones in the lost grounds - they just hit an emotional spot in me. I listen to that music while I'm drawing, and it helps inspire me a lot. I really FEEL it. I think music is a really important aspect of a game, and that's one thing .hack has always been top-notch in.

Anyway, I was wondering - does anyone know what that instrument is that is in most of the songs? It's some kind of ethnic string instrument, possibly a hammer-dulcimer, but I can't be sure. It's usually used in little bursts in the BGM, high pitched and sporatic. It's very pretty, and also has become very iconic of the G.U. trilogy for me. If I heard that sound anywhere I else, I'd surely think of G.U. right off the bat. XD

Heheh, I'm not sure what the name of that instrument is, but Chikayu Fukuda definitely seemed fond of using it when composing the G.U. soundtrack. Whenever I hear that sound now I think of G.U., so I guess in the end CC2 wins. lol

I love the G.U. soundtrack. The original games didn't have much impact on me other than the Phase fights, actually >.> But yeah, G.U. has a truly epic OST. XD
