if you like these two tracks you will probably really enjoy SMT V: Vengeance ost, they rerecorded an entirely new soundtrack and it in some ways blows the original away. I'd recommend beelzebubs theme, primordial goddess, masakado or konohana sakuya.
Dynasty Warriors is just a joy to listen to. Something to note to about the flow of the games is that in any given stage the music will usually change two or three times in a level, so there is a lot of variety when you're playing.
Id say the main theme perfectly represents the story of bg3 for my experience in the game, the different moods, or like a journey through the melody. it really does tell a story that makes sense once you experience the game.
8:44 was so funny to me 😹 Also that tangent you went on is what i come for when i see ur videos... i think we understand a bit of ur philosophy!! Keep being you 💛
Congrats on Beating this Masterpiece of a Game Jesse You are now a true fan of Xenoblade Chronicles "THERE IS NO GOOD GAME WITHOUT A GOOD MUSIC" 🎶🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼🎹🎵🎼🎶🎼
Sol Badguy's real name is Frederick Bulsara, and is directly inspired by Freddie Mercury (aka Farrokh Bulsara) of Queen, which you might've guessed based on how much his theme sounds like Keep Yourself Alive. In the game, he's a scientist who is responsible in part for creating the titular Gears, which are essentially humanoid bioweapons, and turned himself into a Gear in part to make up for the damage he did to the world. Faust is a doctor who essentially died and became the setting's version of the Grim Reaper (the reason he's wearing a paper bag over his head with a hole in it is because that's where he shot himself). In previous games he's generally been pretty affable, but he's having a rough time of it due to events from the previous game, so he's a lot more lethargic and obviously monstrous (although he does try to help, in his way).
He did a pretty good job at character analysis Sol's entire character is just badass personified lol, He's the main character of the series and has been a rebel since the first game Faust is 100% the weird character lol, and yes, his giant weapon is a scalpel
It’s magical. It’s also true that as well as being in Xhosa language, a lot of the other songs in the game are in dead/dying languages. The Sumeria song is the first musical composition ever discovered.
9:53 in the first several versions of guilty gear, daisuke not only composed the music, but designed all the characters, did most of the key art, and voiced sol badguy!! he still does a lot of that but he no longer voices sol.
The industrial themes are always super cool, because they are these big explosive crescendos almost, because it's finally the end of the "dark ages" and the beginning of the higher level of technology. I always loved how Civ represented these nations beginning to come into their art, culture and tech.
The title is "Eternity ~Memory of Lightwaves~" and its by Noriko Matsueda and Takahito Eguchi. The orchestral version heard later in the game is "Eternity ~Band Member Performance~" and the leitmotif is revisited in "Wind Crest ~The Three Trails~." All are part of the game and by the same composers. 🙂 Once you hear them all together, I think its nigh impossible not to be moved.
One thing i'll say is that even tho i think Final Fantasy XV is the worst of the mainline games and a bad game overall even if it wasnt called Final Fantasy, the music is out of this world.
Funny you mention Guilty Gear concerts cause Naoki Hashimoto (the singer for japanese band Outrage ; he sings like pretty much every single male vocal in the entire series' tracks) DID do a bunch of live performances for GG songs lol.
One of my favorite tracks of FF7, of anything ever! I just stuck around there for a while because of it. It's funny how games can make you feel and when I reached that part it made me feel sad, lonely and in awe. As if it was something real, remnants of a bygone civilization.
There are 3 more games in the series: Grandia 3 (PS2) Grandia Xtreme (PS2) Grandia: Parallel Trippers (GBA) Unfortunately, these are no longer as good in terms of the gameplay and story. But the music is also good in these :D But I don't know if that also applies to the GBA part ^^
"I feel like this whole game is about human existence" Its called Civilization, no? :P Civ 5's Baba Yetu is definitely worthy of being the first grammy winner for OST Such a beautiful and uplifting song that just makes you want to build stuff and enjoy life
There is an OST version with words in it giving a somewhat deeper insight to the context of the song and how it came to represent Command & Conquer :) It starts with the iconic female voice "We are going to have to act, if we want to live in a different world" and as the song unfolds you can kinda feel the context being explained
you cant get the game anymore unless buy ild school game and cartriage but the dudes who make the music and game and you love it if get your hands on it
Make sure to also listen to Sogno di Volare "The Dream of Flight" as well! Same composer (Christopher Tin), and is the opening for Civ 6. I personally like it more than Baba Yetu (but I am biased as I worked it into a D&D campaign).
Xenoblade X has some of the most unique and awesome songs in the franchise, this are my favorite songs of Xenoblade X: Wir fliegen Your Voice Uncontrollable Don't worry So nah so fern The way
People have already kinda talked to the nature of the game, it's absolutely about humanity and what we are as a species. What's cool is just how deeply the music reflects that. Each civilization has music based on traditional songs from that culture, and as your progress through time in the game, the versions of these themes change as well, from bare-bones with just one or two instruments in the Stone Age to big Orchestral scores in the Industrial Age and then even building on top of that with electronic instrumentation and modern flair for the Modern / Nuclear Age (8-Bit Music Theory has a great quick video showing an example). That, combined with the high production value, really helps the immersion and gives each civilization an identity beyond differently colored units, and also makes it feel like you really are progressing through time as you unlock new technologies in the game. Baba Yetu is incredible and is also part of an awesome album called "Calling All Dawns" by Christopher Tin, which follows the cycle of life, death, and rebirth (Baba Yetu is the opener), with each song flowing into the next. His music spans tons of languages and similarly pulls from cultural texts for the lyrics, with Baba Yetu being the Lord's Prayer in Swahili, as others have mentioned.
