Aria of Sorrow is the last of the Advance titles, and it is great. They figured out at this point how to utilise the Game Boy Advance properly and make the game both look and sound great. Everything about the game feels very reminiscent of Symphony of the Night and I really enjoyed it. This game takes place in the then-distant future of 2035. At this point the year the game takes place is closer than the year the game released, which I find slightly amusing. Again, you do not play as a Belmont in this one. The music is, again, composed by Michiru Yamane and has an almost Super Nintendo RPG-style sound. Definitely the best of the Advance titles.
