I knew Elden Ring music would be awesome, but not like this... 

Just found your channel today. I am a musician too but definitly not as educated as you are when it comes to music theory, so this has been very interesting for me. I'd like to suggest the music of the Metal Gear Solid franchise. Can't think of a specific piece right now but there is so much good music in there. Maybe one of the intro songs or boss themes

I have a request. Pls do a video on Bloodbath Diablos’s themes. Hes my favorite monster

I suggest you listen to "Laurence, the First vicar" and "Living Failures" from Bloodborne. They are at the same type of quality as Ludwig. I'd be very interested to see your opinion on these.

Elden Ring music sound epic... Dark souls music sound youre a piece of garbage in this world, try to survive nerd.

Awesome video again!!! Thank you, they're awesome!! Hey, I have a request, There's an OST from Sekiro which is really cool, it's the "Corrupted Monk", would be great to see you analyse it, there's a lot of instruments used to give a lot of that samurai kind of combat, mysterious and deadly :D

I really like the way FS has gone this time with the story. I really hope they keep the depressing and dark vibes too though, it wouldn't be a FS Game without after all XD.

@@radcut7404 i think it would be really cool if FS went with other themes than just depressing don't get me wrong i love the atmospheres of dark souls and bloodborne but i think it would be refreshing to try other themes too

@@moustachio05 Well I never said that I didn't want any new themes for Elden Ring. I'm quite excited for that actually. But I also hope they keep the dark vibes too and manage to strike a balance between it and the newer themes.

@@radcut7404 yeah that would be cool

Which means that those two universes could be connected in some way.

Plin Plin Plon 2.0

@@Dis_Dis Now it's Plin Plon.

2 notes instead of 3 to show how you need to skip dark souls 2

@@guntherhess227 UNDERRATED AF COMMENT, MY GOD

@@guntherhess227 It is actually 3 notes... There's one more note before the trumpets(?) kick in.

I was looking into this myself and now it makes sense. I was hoping it was more of a “your first battle vs your final battle”. Because they aren’t exactly the same. Malenias sounds more refined

She is Malenia, blade of Miquella.

@@sickbeatsyo | AND SHE HAS NEVER KNOWN DEFEAT

It fits Malenia much better.

i was gonna say that does not sound like margit when i fought his long tail having ass

Yeah I really like the approach to fighting for your own cause rather than being the pawn without any real agency, makes you feel like you’re punching up against a world that is against you on your own terms

@@chris-P-huck which is, to be fair, a very old style of narrative. But it fits the new aproach, the game felt much more "casual" from the very first trailer. I don't mind it, to be honest.

@@RIDDICK0911 I would love this game. Seems family-friendly enough to play in front of my relatives.

There's plenty of Glory in bosses like Midir, Vordt and the Dragonslayer Armor. Pontiff's one, especially, has a special type of glory in it.

@@chris-P-huck **Remembers Beserk** *YES YES YES YES Y E S*

Tree Sentinel theme is oddly enough my favorite from the game so far.

@@callmetatersalad132 I like Tree Sentinel and Godrick the Grafted.

Plus, the syncopation evokes the thundering hooves of his massive horse as he charges, or runs you down, trampling trees and small buildings to get at you.

That makes me happy. Thank you, Mohamed!

Same! That is my favorite so far

"Well, thou art of passing skill. Warrior blood must really run in thy veins... TARNISHED"

Hi I assume you’ve since realised this but I think he was actually reacting to the wrong theme. That was actually of malenias theme.

@@arryn786 Hi, In fact, no, he was right. That was Margit's theme on the beta. When the game released they changed the theme to that boss and added this one to Malenia. I think that they originally made that theme for Malenia and then changed it to Margit to get us hyped with the beta. Bye!

@@pmunoz2008 It works though, because Margit and Melenia are both figures of mystery, tragedy, martial prowess, cursed destiny and secret royalty.

Yep. When I say hollywood style I basically mean Hans Zimmer and Jerry Goldsmith. These two have defined, like, 90% of what hollywood does music-wise

The game is superman, we are the batman.

@@DaviVasc hmmmm not john williams??

That's how you know it's great music. If you can predict what it represents without actually knowing, then it's the opposite of generic, it's perfectly suited.

Thank you for the suggestions. I'll check them both out! Glad you liked the vid!

@@aplix747 Totally agree. Notice how he easily understood the feel of the fight against Ludwig from Bloodborne just through the music alone

@@aplix747 100% agree. Fromsoft does storytelling pretty perfectly through the music.

@@cosmic2750 It's just a Masterpiece. I can't-

Thank you Gaijin!

Are you a musician @gaijin_Hunter?

@@yellowcard8100 Don't worry about it, its just a small minority who're whining about graphics and reused animations. Probably like, those who've not been in the community for long enough to realize that "graphics" aren't really the best things in Soulsborne games. Besides, from a personal point of view, I prefer having more stylized art style rather than highly realistic graphics. Because like, what, we're already seeing reality, we play games to escape from reality.

I appreciate that. Welcome, my friend!

@@DaviVasc hope you check out more bloodborne tracks till elden ring’s release. The Moon presence ost is one of my favourites.

While your heart races and you panic roll, the music remains perfectly calm and peaceful.

You literally feel like an age has ended and you are the last hope of rebuilding what was lost of restoring everything corrupted to give peace to the lands between and complete the order which was never found by the war of the demigods it feels like YOU are the last hope of these lands Like EVERYONE and EVERYTHING depends on you. To FINNALY get rid of the corruption and fragment of the greater will and bring on an era of true order and destined death. At least to me it gives these emotions as I fight the elden beast. Such an amazing boss fight.

And not only this but as I hear the choir and the instruments going harder and harder as the fight goes on it brings me memories of Malenia's sad story and her brother Miquella's of Marika's feel of revenge and the unfair judgement by the Greater Will upon her. The demigods and their stories everything the story showed us until Radagon. It feels like we screw up this god as a sort of Vengeance for the pain all of these characters felt and went through. Everything Marika did was to FINNALY start some sort of revolution against these outer gods and stop the cycle of pain and control. (Never has music given to me such feelings in any sort of entertainment movies series and games.) Legendary Game.

Bonus points that the little harp-plucking at the beginning of the title theme IS part of the Elden Beast's theme.

Funny that some of the things of what you described can be applied to the acctual theme - Malenia, Blade of Miquella

@@mauriciomeyer627 goddamnit..... that stupid name and that stupid title will forever be stuck in my head

Margit/Morgot is one of my favorites. I think I got burned out on Malenia’s. 😂

It would be very interesting if they were to subvert our expectations like that. I'm all for that kind of stuff

That's not true. They weren't all depressing. In fact, most of what DS3 has for its soundtracks is not depressing at all.

I honestly think knowing George RR Martin there is going to be some sort of lovecraftian medieval twist at the end or part way through, where Miyazaki seems as if he's taking what couldnt be finished in ds3, i.e. a part way world corruption and implementing it into Elden ring where we can clearly see the sky "burning" during the gameplay trailer at certain points.

@@danielantony1882 Well, in a way of speaking, but you can immediately feel the different vibes between the more..."heroic" tracks in DS3 and the tracks of Elden Ring. DS3 was more about like, sort of "tragic hero" sort of thing, while Elden Ring feels more "glorious hero" sort of thing. I hope you understand.

@@DaviVasc True! But, in hindsight, Bloodborne main theme also was very dark and sombre, which should've been an indication...while Elden Ring's main theme sounds very much more in the heroic vibe as we all are thinking.

I second this, but I think one of if not the most important track is Tower Knight/Penetrator theme. It was stripped of its identity, I feel.

@@DS_DoggerX true, that is another controversial one and I agree that the 'laughing' choir in the original is sorely missed in the remake. however, imo, I think the remake redeems itself there because it created a unique track for the penetrator based on the same song that I actually really like and I think its great that the tower knight and the penetrator have their own distinct themes instead of sharing one. I dont actually know if them sharing a theme was what FromSoft _wanted_ in the original or if it was a compromise made for the sake of efficiency, but I always imagined it was the latter so I personally appreciated the penetrator getting his own twist on their shared theme.

Doesn't make much sense if you haven't played both tho

Hmm... sounds like an interesting discussion. Thank you for suggesting it!

Storm King, too.

Thank you, Aya. I'm super excited to play it too!

Oh, interesting

I noticed that _immediately._ It's a great nod that is hidden in plain sight!

Lots of people have been suggesting Abyss Watchers. I'll do it at some point for sure.

That makes me happy. Glad to have you along for the journey.

That is awesome! I would love to watch your seminar. Welcome to the channel.

I noticed too!

bro nailed it

No desert as it turns out (though I really wish there was one) unless you count Caelid. But Caelid is really just more . . . disease, the physical manifestation of.

Technically that would be the badlands, but what about Eochaid?

Turns out it's actually Malenia's theme.

I'm not sure if you know but the way of white doesn't worship Gwyn by the time of the Chosen Undead. They worship Allfather Lloyd.

@@danielantony1882 wasn't actually aware because only 2 items out of the entire game mentioned Lloyd in 1, but in 3 the rings explained he became better recognized for his actual nature of entity. Otherwise that's still part of the relevance in symbolism. And regardless they certainly weren't great worshippers at that point as they delved more at the ideas brought out by Gwyn's legacy of undead being unnatural and countless other lies he's made to keep the Dark under control and long term a benefit to the light. Even branding the Dark Sign upon humanity, so they may be used as kindle and better suppress their Dark nature, the thing he feared the most. That's the second interpretation of his song, not just the end of his legacy, but the reality of it that he would fight desperately to keep the illusion of to his end.

@@BlueAsterismSolstice Gwyn didn't really create the Undead Curse. Watch Hawkshaw's video on the Undead Curse and the way of white. Gwyn was long gone when the Undead Curse happened. Even Havel rebelled against the way of white when Lloyd took over. I'm guessing that's why he has an occult weapon.

@@danielantony1882 No not "created it". He utilized it. Undead curse is actually part of humanity's condition dating back to the Pygmies, who likewise could reach a further undead state, both bearers of the Dark Soul, one of 4 great souls born from the First Flame. Geyn feared the Dark and coming Age of Man, an Age of Dark. He took any measures imaginable to fight against it. A knight, Artorias was thus set forth to overcome where it lurked more densely, and as the Four King came in tune with the Dark and the Life Drain Touch and too powerful, they would go as far as drowning the entire city, which once was a haven for Hollows. To keep the Pygmies themselves away and secluded, he gave them the Ringed City, under the watchful distortions of his youngest daughter. The all-round history of the Light would in turn be a thing of deceit, illusion, distortion, and keeping the Dark at bay, but also of use as the Way of Light would continue to shrink for their divine race in contrast to the opposite side increasing. The actual curse of fate was actually the Dark Sign, which contained the Dark of man inside. As of DS2, the allure to Dark had grown and caught people more socially also spreading the Dark Sigils amongst them with the weaking fire afflicting the suppression of Dark as that was significant to the ring of the Dark Sign. And so they were drawn to likeness of nature and emotions that erupted in the Dark from the fall of Manus, to a place prominent in them and figures born of it as there wasn't yet again a haven for it like New Londo.

@@BlueAsterismSolstice Alright. Well, I'm not sure how the Pygmies are related to the Undead Curse and how a dead man can Utilize a curse that he didn't live to see but ok. Not like I can tell you to stop parroting Kaathe, who is a pathological liar. People really love to base the crutch of all their arguments on that unstable toothy worm who straight up lies and lures people into doing bad shit. I guess it doesn't matter since Gwyn being the villain is the ultimate theory and it can't be stopped no matter what. You do you, I guess. Not like anything I say matters.

Me too. It's my favorite so far.

Seems like Dark Souls soundtracks get thrown under the bus by this community. Especially ones in DS3.

@@danielantony1882 im not saying i dont like the dark souls soundtracks, its quite the opposite. i just think sekiro's deserves some attention as well

It was Magrit's theme back in the Closed Network Test

cool, thank you for the suggestion

…con lentitud poderosa is an absolute masterclass of a song imo. Mr. Christodolou absolutely knows wtf he’s doing

Thank you for the suggestion!

Thanks man and welcome!

You are not stealing anything, my friend. You are enriching my life with your presence and comment. Thank you for the suggestion!

Cool observation. I've never heard Demon's Souls music so I missed that.

Out of all of these I think Lady Maria is coming the sooner, but I'll probably do all of them in time

Glad you're liking the videos, man. Thank you for the suggestions!

I wouldn't say every other track isn't a standout, especially compared to DS1. Soundtracks such as the one for Midir, Slave Knight Gael, the Pontiff, Dragonslayer armor, Oceiros, the Twin Princess, Yhorm and so on. At least that's my opinion.

Yep. Dark Fantasy music + hollywood music is basically the Game of Thrones style

Yes Please~

I'll definitely do that one, lots of people are requesting it

You weren't mad. You haven't gone hollow yet!

Thank you, my friend. Don't worry, this channel is going places, I'm aiming high. I'm happy to have you along for the journey.

Not next but soon!

@@DaviVasc That's good to hear. Excited for your reaction to more Soulsborne tracks!

I'm happy to have you here, my friend
