Line 22:

On a technical level, music for the first Suikoden allowed streaming and direct playback of the waveform data that was recorded on the CD-ROM. Although much of the ~~game’s~~ music was streamed, some music, such as the world map theme, had to be played back through the internal sound fonts, as they required having the map data read from the CD-~~ROM’s~~ contents.

However, as most of the composer team had been working on Sega Mega Drive titles up until the development of Suikoden, there were very few who could work with the ~~PlayStation’s~~ internal sound fonts.
