Riviera: The Promised Land - Audio

Audio

The Game Boy Advance release of Riviera featured a large amount of voice work for a Game Boy Advance title boasting nearly two-hundred voice clips, far more than majority of games for the system.

The PSP release is fully voiced. The Japanese voice actors for the Japanese PSP version are largely the same as the GBA version. Atlus USA, chose to keep the Japanese voices in their localization of the game as well as add English voice work. The English voice actors for the game are also largely the same as the GBA version's English voice actors.

The soundtrack for Riviera was composed mostly by Minako Adachi, with a few tracks by Shigeki Hayashi, and spanned less than forty tracks. This music has been rearranged and rerecorded for each release of the game, but has for the most part remained static. The soundtrack has been released twice, with the first following the GBA version's release, the Riviera Full Arrange Soundtrack, which featured arranged versions of all the songs, but not the original GBA or WSC versions. Soon after came the "Riviera Intro Disc" which featured the WSC music, as well as a Drama track introducing all the characters. In February 2007, following the release of the PSP version of the game, Sting released the Riviera Perfect Audio Collection Plus, a three disc collection containing the original music from all three versions of the game.

Sting has also released several drama tracks for Riviera, the first appearing on the Riviera Intro Disc, followed by four on the Riviera Epilogue Disc, and then a full-blown Drama CD following weekly airings on Internet Radio Station Onsen (インターネットラジオステーション＜音泉＞, intaanettorajiosuteeshyon?, ) used to promote the PSP version. This Drama CD was called The Precious Chapter and contained seven drama tracks spanning two discs.
