ITT we compare OST versions of songs to their GSTs and vice versa

[tsugaru7reveng]

NOT A REQUEST THREAD. This thread is only for comparing if you've already heard them, not to ask for the songs. You can compare things that are really being heard, or which version you like more.

Before you ask:
OST - Original/ Official Sound Track (the one used in the albums)
GST - Game Sound Track (the one used in-game)

A lot of songs, of course, have better OST versions than GST versions, ending up in epicness or 'meh, OK.' There are some songs that have better GST versions than their OST versions.

Anyway, time for some of my impressions:
IIDX:
-TROOPERS's ending guitar is softer in the OST. I could barely hear it.
-Do it!! Do it!!, no more, no less, is the same fucking song, despite bits of beat changes.
-Anisakis has a drum roll that souns similar to CaptivAte ~SABAKI~ in about 1:55 of the song. It's more epic than the GST version.
-oratio's back-up vocals are louder in the OST.
-MEI's pause from the 190~200 BPM part is shorter in the OST.
-AGEHA has more bass drums in the latter part of the song. The GST version totally sucked.
-GENOCIDE's OST intro is different from the GST's.
-Daisuke is a bit longer in the OST, but it's still made of win.
-lower world is longer in the OST, and it almost reached 3:00.

GFDM:
-¥ShinchoushinTION¥'s DrumMania GST is a lot better than the OST version. The rapid bass pedals should've been used in the chorus of the OST version IMO.
-TAMAYURA's and Die Zauberflöte's (whatever difficulty) DrumMania GST is also better than the OST version. I love the loud drums.
-Kito ni tsugu and Kyokutou shiki have more snare beats in their OST versions.

neu EX would of been alot more fun then neu N on the OST.

or actually Hypers is good too

and the cut off for clione (kors k) in happy sky makes no sense. It just dies. I got scared how it just sudden fades out.

Harmony and Lovely's GST version blows the OST out of the water.

hay guys, Girigiri Daddy GST version is amazing.

[Cat's eye]

Be Rock U's OST version is waaaay better than the GST.
Same for Colors -Eurobeat mix-

[Oni140]

Roulette's GST is a little shorter then the OST one. And Ageha had some extra sounds in the Hyper and Another of the GST one which I liked a little better.

In CROSSROAD, the keysounds are more echo'ed and "What's really meant for life" has an echo.

Goddamnit how can i forget 走馬灯 -The Last Song EPIC extra gunshot scratch in GST that is a miss in OST (since its not really supposed to be in the song and all...)

I know this post does not actually belong here and I can't think of a proper place to post this...

The Sound Quality of Piano Concerto No. 1 Anti-Ares is very clean in IIDX RED GST than in IIDX GOLD GST

Proof:
YouTube - ???????1? "??" Compare IIDX RED with IIDX GOLD

[DJ Tomoe]

Atlantic Spotted Dolphin is way longer in the Pop'n 10 OST.

IIDX:
The OST version of the shadow is heavier, in terms of sound, having more noise and all that. It's GST is cleaner though.

Hoshi wo kono te ni has different guitar riffs in each version.

GFDM:
Leaving All Behind, NEMESIS and Panasonic Youth have more rapid and louder bass pedal sounds in their DrumMania GSTs.

The captivate word in Captivate Chikai is late in GST before the remix of custom drive begins..

[kannazuki]

CaptivAte ~Sabaki~'s IIDX version does not have A/I's "la la la la" section in the beginning while the GF/dm and OST versions have it.

The OST version of Gamelan de Couple sounds so... levelled out in terms of balance between all the keysounds. To me the individual keysounds felt louder on the GST and that's how I like it.

PHOTONGENIC in 9th style had really loud keysounds compared to the OST and IIDX GOLD versions, haha.

Implantation GST from BM:The Final or Pop'n EEMall vs the original OST version from Drummania 2nd Mix. Both are good but both the BM and Pop'n versions are actually goa trance. I'm still pissed that aside from the heavily ruined full version on Tomosuke's Marble, the game version for said games didn't appear on any other OST's.

[XDManda]

MENDES has louder samples in the GST at 0.13 compared to OST.

But both sound okay to me.
