Such a shame more games don’t use this. It worked for PSO because fights were relatively drawn out/telegraphed, so there was always a chance to build up/slow down the music.
I wonder if AI could get used to dynamically generate a transition between battle/overworld themes. Or at least, if the composer makes one and use AI to make all necessary versions.
My first exposure to this was Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast. My mind was blown.
As a teenager, learning how they did this on a technical level blew my mind a second time!

I just remembered that the new Pokemon games (Scarlet/Violet) do this dynamic music thing too!
