The Dark Star is the song that plays outdoors in the Mana Palace (after the sunken continent rises) and while you’re flying on Flammie after the sunken continent rises.

This song is track 28 on the official soundtrack, but there is a second version of the song that is not on the soundtrack. This version lacks the echoing sound of the original. The echo-less version plays when you watch the sunken continent rise.

Title

The American and Japanese soundtrack titles are very similar.
