In parallel, the reedy woodwind melodies and rustic guitar of "Rabao" capture one's contentment at the desert oasis. However, those who found "Castle Zvahl" to be mind-numbingly long in the main soundtrack may find the 8:16 playtime obnoxious. The rhythm perfectly sets the pace of the exploration while the lengthy development represents its vastness. Focus is placed on a catchy ethnic-influenced bass riff that punctuates a slow developing ethnic flute melody. "Yuhtunga Jungle" finely portrays the tonberry-infested jungle that blankets Kazham's landscape. The theme comes together very well, featuring many beautiful moments and sustaining a motivating drive. A brisk acoustic guitar ostinato gives rise to finely synthesized woodwind melodies that give a hint of the unfamiliar. Opening with a lively number, "Kazham" portrays a jungle paradise city introduced to the expansion. Working closely with synthesizer operators Ryo Yamazaki, Hidenori Iwasaki, and Hirosato Noda, he set out to produce a high-quality acoustic soundtrack displaying many continuities with its predecessor.
