"Divine Spell" by TRUE, the OP of Regalia:the Three Sacred Stars, really sounds a lot like a song written by Elements Garden for Nana Mizuki to sing in Symphogear.
I mean, I can tell the similarities to "Hiryuu no Kishi" by TRUE, the OP of Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle, as both are pretty hard-hitting and very energetic trancepop(?) songs in B minor, but the two songs are by two different composers even though the singer likely had some creative input on the music (as she wrote the lyrics of both anyway).
But "Divine Spell" just has elements that really really sound like Symphogear stuff. Like for example the opening vocal motif is very similar to the opening vocal motif of "Gyakkou no Flügel" from Symphogear.
(The composer of "Divine Spell" is Yuki Honda, who is affiliated with the group Arte Refact, not Elements Garden.)
from the Elsword OST (possibly just the Elsword North American OST?)
this track is in a sort of B-flat dorian/minor that makes it very reminiscent of a track from Ys Origin, "Bonds with Companion" I think it's called (but I can't check without interrupting the music). It even uses some of the same chord progressions, such as Db Eb F.
this is a track from one of the later levels in the game
it's a clock tower level
quieter and more drab than the usual clock tower levels though
but it does feature platforming on gears and stuff
amusingly i have considered making it the theme for a "temple of doom" area, like something with vaguely mesoamerican-/southeast-asian-inspired mystique
anyway I just wish it had a more complex and longer loop
