Why aren't certain theme songs playable?

[Quantium]

Anyone else kinda disappointed by the fact that the opening music for HS isn't playable? Lots of other title music versions are, why is this one left out? It's still one of my favorites. Same thing for the credit music from DJT, it's on the soundtrack, why isn't it in the game?

[ΩOMEGAΩ]

wait... you can play the opening songs to the game on some of the games... I dont think so. So of the openings are just remixed versions of the songs that are already in the game.

Also The reason why it is on the OST is because its still a song in the game, even if it is not playable.

Yeah but at the same time not EVERY GAME has had their ending theme put into the OST, usually when there's room that allows for it, or it's a really noticeable theme.

And to the original poster, not every OP theme for a game is playable.

The only games that have had their opening theme playable in some form or the other has been 5th Style (Distress remix), 6th Style (Tomorrow Perfume), and GOLD (Gold Rush)

[tengai]

it would be nice to play the opening and ending themes from DJT tho

[tsugaru7reveng]

You can play DistorteD's opening music by selecting CaptivAte ~CHIKAI~ and lowering the pitch by 2 semitones. :P

Well, it's last part at least.

Same thing with CaptivAte ~JOUKA~ and setting its pitch 4 semitones lower to play the IIDX RED Ending.

I really like most of the openings and credit roll songs in IIDX, it would be great to play them.

Don't forget DistorteD's (Captivate Chikai) and RED's ending (Captivate Jouka)

[shungokusatsu]

Flowers For Albion (by dj TAKA) is also an ending song.

I was upset the opening theme for sonic the hedgehog 2 wasnt one of the level songs.
Those bastards at sega created different songs for openings and endings. They should have just regurgitated the same track for everything.
Its not very surprising some theme songs are just theme songs.

The Last Striker (ending) is apparently a remix of quell ~the seventh slave~.

I honestly don't care playing theme songs or not. If they were playable, it makes them kind of lose their special purpose or whatever you wanna call it; simply a song on the interface.

Having 50+ songs to compensate per style isn't THAT bad though...is it?

Yeah, source would be nice. I dunno Last Strike doesn't really sound much like Quell. If it's a remix of anything I think it would of Deep Striker, but they're two completely seperate songs on the album so chances are, it's probably not a remix of anything.

[Oni140]

Well, apparently, that's what I've heard.

No source though... Sorry!

[Skydazer]

isnt the tune for quell and last striker the same ?

at least thats wat i've figured out after repeatedly listening them for many times.

[StompyX]

or if your weird you can play happy skys credits (Twelfth Style) Except its slower on credits
