he should never score anything ever again and all of his soundtracks, every single one, should be redone by literally anyone else because his music is awful
I only remember Godrick's theme and the main menu theme, at some point I turned the music off completely because the open world tracks were so bad they annoyed me
>gibberish orchestra choir OSTs in Bloodborne
LE KINO!! OMG SO GOOD!! >same gibberish orchestra choir in Elden Ring, composed by mainly the same people
uhh.. it wasn't all that really.. umm..
>"save meeee Black personmaaaaaaaaaan there are more this song uses human voice as an instrument!!!"
Also there's variation on the composers since Elden Ring had like twice as much of them, and you can notice how the quality changes depending from composer to composer.
Secunda for how it fits the environment, the context where it plays (at night), etc.

Song of the dragonborn reuses part of the melody from the morrowind theme, but it uses the first part, ends it differently, then reuses it and develops in to the morrowind theme melody on the second or third time round when the chorus is doing it along with the trumpets.

homie that's ambience music, it's the meme song too, honestly it's not bad but I don't know why you are getting so high and mighty about it.
Siofra River's ambience also fits greatly, it really has that dystinctive feeling like youa re in the depths of a world and you've found a whole new one, it's not made to be funky, but it fits, a song that fits and is also great to listen too would have to be Leyndell's theme. I'd listen to this one a hundred times more than what you just posted, then again I'm biased because O haven't played Skyrim but I got reasons to believe you are not being that fair to ER either.
I know you're just trying to be smug but nu-From music is actually surprisingly comparable to mumble rap. >basic and boring instrumental that's completely covered up by a person or people vocalizing nonsense
I know some Latin, and I remember it being very weird and unexpected when I was able to pick out words in The Old Hunters dlc while playing the first time.
I think they wanted the OST in DaS and ER to feel like an ancient foreign language, whereas with bloodborne it has a very deliberate victorian setting where latin made sense.
Don't forget Tibia Mariner's theme. I think it plays for all of the dead aligned bosses.
There is a big trend in Japan for musicians who have weight behind them to start free lancing. It means they directly control how much they get paid. It all started with the Nier musicians
DaS3 and ER music is just a choir going AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA over a forgettable melody anyway. It's so boring.
Bloodborne had good music because it had actual relevant lyrics and way better composition, DeS and DaS1 had no choir so they had great melody instead, and DaS2 still had a few pretty decent songs.
>dark souls 3's soundtrack was forgettable.
You literally only pretend to like because of PLIN PLAN PLON during Soul of Cinder, the entire game has maybe 3 or 4 decent tracks and the rest are the absolute worst in the series. I have to turn the music off before I fight Vordt because it's such a cacophonous headache inducing mess
>DaS1 had no choir
Seath, Four Kings, Nito, Capra Demon, and Quelaag all had choral parts off the top of my head, and Sif/Priscilla and Moonlight Butterfly/Gwyndolyn had vocals too
You're right, they did have choir. I should have said less choir because they actually had something else going for them besides just a group of people yelling.
you're right about elden ring but you're baiting if you truly think dark souls 3's soundtrack was forgettable.

only homosexuals say >DaS
and not just DS#. There's only one demon souls so the number automically means its dark souls, you don't get any hipster points for your special video game pronouns
Personally I recall >The DaS opening theme >O&S Theme >Gwyndolin Theme >Plin Plin Plon >DS1 Credits Theme >Majula >Ludwig theme >Laurence theme >Elden Ring Main Theme/Radagon Theme
And any time I try and think of any other souls song I just mentally default to a weird mashup of the DeS theme and Demise of a Ritual from Shadow of the Colossus.
FromSoft's music team expended all their remaining energy and ideas with Bloodborne and it shows.
Each game after that has only like 3 memorable tracks.
Souls music is usually just generic orchestraslop to set the tone for boss fights so people can onions out at the guy doing three bash hit RAAAAARGH IM A MONSTER combos you roll through
I really like all the overworld themes, and I don't think the boss tracks are necessarily bad but it feels like they were mixed really poorly because half the time I can barely even hear them over the fight, they just kind of blend together with all the other sound
I loved ER OST
Morgott, Mohg, Godfrey, Godrick, Radagon, Black Knives, Formidable Foe I, Fortissax and Placidusax are some of the best Fromsoft ever used
I think people just wanted another DS3 ost where it's all just really epic choir music. Elden Ring feels more like DS1 in that it's music feel more in-line with where it's being played.

First Hunter was Tsukasa Saitoh
Very common phenomenon, especially in eastern Europe, studios die in a short time because they mismanage the next even bigger project, CDPR was very close to this fate.
Hello, I actually have good taste when it comes to soundtracks. The best soundtrack was dark souls 1. Never played dark souls 2 though. Dark souls 3 quickly becomes derivative and attempts to be far more grand and epic then it really is resulting in a silly juxtaposition with what you're actually doing and what it sounds like you're doing. Plus because they do it for every boss, it quickly loses its uniqueness.
Dark Souls 2 has a lot of great tracks and a lot of shit ones, it's kind of all over the place. Pursuer, Executioner's Chariot, Royal Rat Authority, and Old Dragonslayer all have great themes
i liked the main theme (and how it comes back during the radagon fight) but that's about it
i know i'll get shit for this but i've always thought this series had pretty weak music. i like that they use the music sparingly by saving it just for bosses and hubs, that automatically makes a lot of the tunes memorable, but i think outside of that, very few of them are that great.
like from dark souls one, gwyn's theme might be the only song i actually like. sif and o&s's themes are extremely memorable to me but i'd never really want to listen to them outside of playing the game
Why not. If you only listened to it once when you played the game is it really that good compared to something you liked enough to listen to even outside the game?
There's no problem listening to a game's soundtrack outside the context of the game, but at that point it's just an album. The only time it's quality as a soundtrack should be judged, is while it's being played over the game.
i don't disagree, but that aside i think many of dark souls 1's boss themes really stand out when you listen to them one after the other. the three i listed do, but can you really remember the themes of ceaseless discharge or iron golem? or even story important bosses like the 4 kings or bed of chaos? or anything from the DLC
I don't actually think the OST in Soul's games is anything to write home about bar a few songs, I just don't feel like separating them from their context says anything about their quality.
>I don't actually think the OST in Soul's games is anything to write home about bar a few songs
Elden Ring is objectivelu the first Frosmoftware game to have good and high quality OST actually, it's just that people don't pay attention while playing.
Thats every Slopsoft song. Except Gwyn's.
Its generic and cringe.
and what other anons say lol:
uhhhh DLC bros...? It's fricking over isn't it
Without the oooooooooooooooh and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh noises it's going to be unplayable
To this day Midir's theme is burned into my brain
DOO DOO DO DA DO
DOO DOO DO DA DO
DOO DOO DO DA DEE DOO DE DOO
DaS3 and ER music is just a choir going AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA over a forgettable melody anyway. It's so boring.
Bloodborne had good music because it had actual relevant lyrics and way better composition, DeS and DaS1 had no choir so they had great melody instead, and DaS2 still had a few pretty decent songs.

What kind of moronic dumbfrick argument is that? All music is simoly made to be listened at, no matter the media it is in. You think Titanic OST is less iconic because the movie isn't playing if you put it on youtube?
You also can rarely appreciate Elden Ring soundtrack while busy fighting

Not him but Iron Golem and Four Kings have two of my favoeite themes in the game, every DS1 track stands out really prominently in my mind except for Centipede Demon and Ceaseless Discharge
The endless seethe from discordBlack folk about From will never not be amusing to me
Cry some more little babies, surely you'll manage to somehow shift sentiment just by shitting yourself in public every single day
This is unironically the song i hate the fricking most because that place is SO FRICKING EMPTY and all you do is hold B and run forward while listening to this SHIT.
I know you people want to spin this into some sort of negative story, but th fact of the matter is that for composers freelancing is literally the endgame. Uematsu is a freelancer, the dude from Chrono Trigger is a free lancer. Leaving the game company your worked for and turning to free lancing means you've made it.
I personally don't like Kitamuras music but this news just means she's more in demand than ever before. Also, I assure you that she'll still work with from soft on their game music unless they find someone better.
DeS has my favorite soundtrack of all the games and the remake OST is so unbelievably off the mark it's shocking, how do you take an OST that's so perfectly moody and understated and atmospheric and turn it into generic bombastic hollywood blockbuster schlock
Elden Ring OST is better than Bloodborne or DS3 because they are actually varied, creative and high quality
It uses bells, trumpets and generally more instruments compared to BB/DS3 being mostly violin and chorus.
?si=117aHRwZidaR4gJ4
Nobody can make a proper criticism to it because >Elden Ring is too hard for people to focus on the song >Discord Black folk are samegayging/and trying to astroturf their "ER bad" narrative.
Honestly, it is barely distinctive from "epic blockbuster trailer music". It has some interesting moments but you will not listen to it because of them
>Honestly, it is barely distinctive from "epic blockbuster trailer music".
You are genuinely clueless and I doubt you understand music besides vibing to elevator pop songs
The use of the chromatic scale is immaculate, the instruments all blend together perfectly. It's flawlessly composed and executed and you can compare it to some garbage 2 steps from hell just because you have no idea of what you are talking about

Black person how schizo you have to be that everyone that disagrees with you is completely wrong and there is no merit to their arguments?
Elden Ring is fun but the music aint even close to great save a few tracks that do fit. Fromgays just want their shit to be the best at everything guess what it aint. Play more games homosexual.
The homosexuals who are like "uuun actually it all sounds the same, this soundtrack sounds so much better!" and then they post the most shitty soundtracks that makes my ears bleed aren't much better my man.
I admit ER's soundtracks inconsistent and more forgettable than Bloodborne's and DS3's but it's not bad, also, Kitamura worked on all the better tracks so makes me sad she's leaving.
No unironically almost all of them suck. You not liking video game music is not my problem, you just dont have the taste for it you have to be able to like multiple generes.
Fromsoft has no imagination when it comes to music they just said: "do what fits the game and thats it i dont care" so they made almost everything boring chiors of uuuaaa oooaa auu
Where does this opinion come from, what is this vendetta against hearing multiple human voices and thinking they all sound the same when they obviously fricking don't?
In what universe does Godfrey's theme sound the same as Mohg's? What about more atmospheric soundtracks like Leyndell's?
I admit Morgott's theme is shit and speiclaly more dissapoiting because it's not like all the other forgettable BGMs that take place in random copypaste cave minibosses.

Sure it's nice but making the violins and drums and singing sound good takes enough effort and is good enough for me to become attached to it, most times, lyrics in vidya music are cringe or fit very loosely on the subject matter and I think it just ain't worth the effort when it comes to fricking latin chanting, at least with music in english I can give it to you since having gibberish there would be moronic but even the MGR soundtrack has lyrics that are just... shit happening bro?

vast amount of soundtracks out there dont' have lyrics, if it has lyrics, be they in german or enlighs or latin, I guess it's fine, I guess I like that in this one song there's someone singing something that has a meaning, even if transalted it's just shit happening I can see some worth in it, but just because a piec eof music doesn't have that I don't think it makes it shit? If you get a piece of music with lyrics that mean something and then you wask a genie to undo that and make it so it's gibberish or just "ooh aah" I would mind, that's shitty, a dick move, but if a song from the start doesn't have lyrics... who cares?
I played Risk of Rain 2, no lyricism there, but some of the themes are banger bro, you've enjoyed instrumental too you know?
So if the abyss watchers has no lyrics then what's wrong with that? Is your argument that there's nothing wrong with that but there's something wrong to making your songs sound like they have lyrics even if they don't
ER songs having lyrics or not is already really vague when you listen to it, whereas in Bloodborne it's pretty clear that the words have a measning, a beggining and end, when you hear closely.
With ER they just wanted the vibe of a choiri singing something, but the fact that it's not ACTUALLY doing that annoys you? Makes you feel something's off or wrong? And that in itself is reason enough to bash it?
Because I don't care, maybe that's the difference

I just couldn't find the words to explain it because I dunno shit about MH.
You want to give the vibe of something without actually writing a tangible meaning on it and I don't think that's bad, why is it? Is there a logical reason for it being bad? maybe you just wanted to add texture to the words but not write the lyrics so you fricking make shit up instead of having it all be "ooh aaah" and you just let the "ooh aah" be in slower more somber songs and that's it. What is so bad about that?
Lyrics to me are like the cherry on top but it seems like to you the fact that they just made shit up is an actual tangible flaw that makes you like it much less, instead of how I feel neutral about it.

It's better when the lyrics actually have a meaning I guess, like with Bloodborne, and the AI generated choir lyrics thing didn't pop out until ER because in DS3 they weren't ashamed to have the choirs just chant instead of singing a song, but at the end of the day? I don't give a shit, I just care that it sounds good you are just making shit up to be like "seeee? It's shit because the ancient latin sounding lyrics actually don't have a tranlateable meaning for vaati to uncaover!". Who gives a shit? What matters is the instruments and singing to sound good because I ain't listening to the lyrics when I'm playing the game or when I'm listening to it on yt.
The music is pretty good it just isn't that memorable compared with a classic OST like Symphony of the Night or Deus Ex, which relied heavily on memorable synthetic melodies and motifs, rather than sweaping orchestral arrangements.
Shadow of the Colossus is closer in intention to Elden Ring, and it's more memorable. I think people are asking for something like that. But people saying it's bad are just dishonest.
its unironically pure famboyism
if Fromsoft dared to make a creative song where they mix more generes around it or even an enviromental alieny sounding track you know Fromdrones would be overhyping that shit like >omg look how revolutionary this song is it fits so well they are SO CREATIVE they did something NOBODY expected >millions of games have done it before tho >BRO BUT FROMSOFT DID IT THE BEST
Its fanboyism, bullshit its not
almost nobody goes through their day thinking damn I wanna listen to some Elden Ring music and sits down to do it. Fromsoft never been good at making music they dont care they only care about delivering their gameplay formula that worked for them once so they gotta squeeze all the bank they can with it.
Want them to start doing DeS style music again?
Or fricking... Metal Gear Revengeance sounding ass?
To me Bloodborne's music and ER's sound really distinctive IDK what's this gaslight that everything's the same, though ER's music and DS3 is interchangeable.

Every Fromsoft game has good music and I could identify it if you played it on shuffle with generic orchestral music.
Tsukasa Saitoh is a great producer and so is Kitamura and the rest.
Gehrman's theme is iconic.

Yep. >Fromsoft never been good at making music they dont care they only care about delivering their gameplay formula that worked for them once so they gotta squeeze all the bank they can with it
Yes and no. If that were true they would have made Elden Ring 2™ immediately after ER, instead of making a much less marketable Armoured Core game.
It's Bamco that wants Fromsoft to milk the Souls formula, which is why they pushed for 2 (and it was a resulting pile of shit) and why 3 was made (and I like 3, but it's very obvious from the narrative that Fromsoft did NOT want to make another title in the same setting).
Bloodborne was an adventurous decision that made many changes from the underlying formula.
Ultimately, 4 Souls games wouldn't have been made it there wasn't a huge market for it.
Just some Discord servers trying to sway "public opinion" by coordinating attacks against your favorite media. They're even releasing games now like this and the Basedjak Defenders games. They are typically pro-Russia and hate Fromsoft.

She works as freelancer, whixh is the maximum aspiration for a composer, but that doesn't mean Fromsoftware won't hire her again

The music has been shit after Dark Souls 1. For how much I love Bloodborne, I can't remember most of the songs. Elden Ring has all of maybe 5 somewhat memorable songs in a 60 hour game. I think my favorite was the festival choir in Redmane Castle, it made you feel something.
Give us a playful piano, brass out the ass, more plucked strings, something with lots of drums, fricking anything. More variety.
Armored Core 6 did have a lot of fun stuff at least.

Off the top of my head
Literally the only theme that I can remember, other than main one, is the one used for Loretta/DTS/few more bosses.
Rest of them are so boring and devoid of personality, I won't be able to recall them if my life depended on it.
How do you even go from early Souls titles to that? Is the music in ER AI generated?
I feel like her music was getting progressively worse with each iteration, Sekiro has one of the worst soundtracks I've ever heard in a video game while Elden Ring was uninspired and monotonous. I bet they'll find someone better in no time.
godskin duo was the only song i added to my playlist. main theme / radaghan is pretty good, but it plays so many fricking times throughout a playthrough, that it just wore itself out.
mohg's is okay
godrick the grafted i turned off into the second half, because it was just too derivative, and every other boss theme i just sort of clicked through because it was getting too samey
platinum'd the game btw
Souls games never had a good ost
And even if Motoi Sakuraba is a great composer he was restricted to soulslop sounds. He has made his magnum opus already
>Who hadn't heard of the tales? Of the endless war the Gods wage with the creatures of darkness.
I get goosebumps every time I hear Turn Over a New Leaf.
motoi sakuraba also did baten kaitos
his symphonic metal influence is very notable, skilled metal gays are simply the ones single handedly preserving western civilization in their music
DeS soundtrack was leagues more memorable btw. Literally all I remember from Dark Souls is the Gwyn theme and all from ER is the title theme and I guess the final boss theme where they repeat the letimotif, but even that isn't something to actually like listening to, it's just something I "remember". It's pretty much mostly generic fart music for boss fights
see:
here is the moron, this is unironically how fromdrones think deep down the truth is its only the same gameplay for them they havent got bored of it and will defend every other aspect of the game as 10/10 even if its mediocre or like this dude admit the truth that they dont really care.
Kinda. BotW did it but it's sorta dying down now that TotK came along and the shitpost on that game has died down too. Elden Ring seethe is still going strong, we'll see if it is as long-lasting as BotW seethe was.
most of the music in the game is AI generated
What program can I use to generate music?
type in AI music generator
Who knows.

They already lost the female composer from before ER too.
the girl that did the sekiro music?
oh, I'm dumb. I thought she left before August 2023 and didn't read the rest of the image.
It's a bait thread
She went freelance, who cares? Motoi Sakuraba was freelance when he wrote Pling Pling Plong
Yuka Kitamura? That's who's mentioned in OP's image.
music was the worst part of elden ring
Okay. Now bring back Motoi Sakuraba.
He do some early Armored Core or something?
Christ no. I fricking hate his generic music.
he should never score anything ever again and all of his soundtracks, every single one, should be redone by literally anyone else because his music is awful
frick off
My favorite track in Elden Ring is the operatic chorus that starts out like, "oooohhhhaahhhhh" and then builds up like "DADAAAADAAAOOOOOAAAAHHH"
hell yeah. wait isn't that the one from dark souls? i mean dark souls 2. i mean dark souls 3. i mea
I can't remember a single track from ER, it was all so generic it flowed in one ear and out the other.
I only remember Godrick's theme and the main menu theme, at some point I turned the music off completely because the open world tracks were so bad they annoyed me
All the bad ER tracks weren't made by Yuka and all the good ones were made by her, so... kinda fricked.
>gibberish orchestra choir OSTs in Bloodborne
LE KINO!! OMG SO GOOD!!
>same gibberish orchestra choir in Elden Ring, composed by mainly the same people
uhh.. it wasn't all that really.. umm..
>"save meeee Black personmaaaaaaaaaan there are more this song uses human voice as an instrument!!!"
Also there's variation on the composers since Elden Ring had like twice as much of them, and you can notice how the quality changes depending from composer to composer.
yep only one i remember is the the menu/final boss one.(and that one rips off demon souls)
bloodborne i remember at least 3 and its been years since i played.
Malenia themes are forever ingrained in my psyque.
my favorite song was uhhhhhhhhhhhh, generic chorus chants n shit bro
>generic
Name another game soundtrack with more technically virtuous Gregorian chant compositions.
halo
Alone in the Dark 2008
In what sense is the elden ring soundtrack gregorian chant?
anything that has a choir is gregorian chanting and it all sounds the same and is boring, don't you understand fromdrone?
Skyrim
unironically miles better than Fromsoft
except the normal battle music
Post a Skyrim soundtrack that's as good as Godfrey's.
Secunda for how it fits the environment, the context where it plays (at night), etc.
Or the main one Dovakin Dovakin chant for the same reasons within their context.
Godfrey song was forgettable as frick.
>main one Dovakin Dovakin chant
Wasn't that the theme from Morrowind?
Song of the dragonborn reuses part of the melody from the morrowind theme, but it uses the first part, ends it differently, then reuses it and develops in to the morrowind theme melody on the second or third time round when the chorus is doing it along with the trumpets.
homie that's ambience music, it's the meme song too, honestly it's not bad but I don't know why you are getting so high and mighty about it.
Siofra River's ambience also fits greatly, it really has that dystinctive feeling like youa re in the depths of a world and you've found a whole new one, it's not made to be funky, but it fits, a song that fits and is also great to listen too would have to be Leyndell's theme. I'd listen to this one a hundred times more than what you just posted, then again I'm biased because O haven't played Skyrim but I got reasons to believe you are not being that fair to ER either.
Soule has never been good with combat-state music I must say. His ambient, exploration music is fantastic though.
Skyrim did it way, way better as well.
>song
>generic chorus chants
Might I interest you in some goyslop jogger rap music? I have a feeling it would suit your "refined" tastes.
I know you're just trying to be smug but nu-From music is actually surprisingly comparable to mumble rap.
>basic and boring instrumental that's completely covered up by a person or people vocalizing nonsense
>nonsense
It's usually in Latin, and once translated the lyrics tend to reveal the history or inner monologue of the boss.
I want an elden ring but with mariachi, flamenco and tango, south american sounds are underrated.
>Flamenco
>South American
Only Bloodborne ost were in Latin, the other are all gibberish for unknow reason
I know some Latin, and I remember it being very weird and unexpected when I was able to pick out words in The Old Hunters dlc while playing the first time.
I think they wanted the OST in DaS and ER to feel like an ancient foreign language, whereas with bloodborne it has a very deliberate victorian setting where latin made sense.
Ico and Shadow of the Colossus did that I think.
It's all gibberish you fricking moron, what are you on about?
altus plateau, ancestor spirit, main theme
there's some good ones
Don't forget Tibia Mariner's theme. I think it plays for all of the dead aligned bosses.
Not Uematsu?
how many dark souls we will get until people get tired?
Never so long as they properly space them out and make the atmosphere's of the game different.
These games should come out once a decade. Nobody would ever get tired of them.
Most people don't play every single Souls game. Most people have only played Elden Ring also.
Soulslop is peak r*ddit, so there will be many. It's like COD for pseuds.
The souls composer isn't even good it's overrated because of the hype for the series.
?si=9305WZQINZt-8w4N
>inb4 predictable "this is great"
Nobody thinks you're cool.
DaS3 and ER music is just a choir going AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA over a forgettable melody anyway. It's so boring.
Bloodborne had good music because it had actual relevant lyrics and way better composition, DeS and DaS1 had no choir so they had great melody instead, and DaS2 still had a few pretty decent songs.
you're right about elden ring but you're baiting if you truly think dark souls 3's soundtrack was forgettable.
>dark souls 3's soundtrack was forgettable.
You literally only pretend to like because of PLIN PLAN PLON during Soul of Cinder, the entire game has maybe 3 or 4 decent tracks and the rest are the absolute worst in the series. I have to turn the music off before I fight Vordt because it's such a cacophonous headache inducing mess
>DaS1 had no choir
Seath, Four Kings, Nito, Capra Demon, and Quelaag all had choral parts off the top of my head, and Sif/Priscilla and Moonlight Butterfly/Gwyndolyn had vocals too
You're right, they did have choir. I should have said less choir because they actually had something else going for them besides just a group of people yelling.
It was forgettable at best and bad at worst.
Demon's Souls had a choir too, Tower Knight is famous for it
I think the tower knight choir is much different than anything else

And any time I try and think of any other souls song I just mentally default to a weird mashup of the DeS theme and Demise of a Ritual from Shadow of the Colossus.
FromSoft's music team expended all their remaining energy and ideas with Bloodborne and it shows.
Each game after that has only like 3 memorable tracks.
>single note playing for like 5 seconds
Fromslopware never had good music. This is probably a good thing.

I don't even remember hearing this
You don't remember Ludwig's theme? Or did you only mean Souls games?
It's probably the most famous song in the series
I don't know how anyone could forget this
I like Storm King
>doesn't remember nameless song
some moron skipped the credits
Souls music is usually just generic orchestraslop to set the tone for boss fights so people can onions out at the guy doing three bash hit RAAAAARGH IM A MONSTER combos you roll through
Fricking finally. Maybe we can have drums in a soulsborne soundtrack for once. Tired of all the le epic choir.
I think you guys underrate ERs soundtrack. The area music was all really good. And there were a decent amount of good boss tracks as well.
>enter area
>EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH
Name one area other than the underground
I really like all the overworld themes, and I don't think the boss tracks are necessarily bad but it feels like they were mixed really poorly because half the time I can barely even hear them over the fight, they just kind of blend together with all the other sound
The music is fantastic, is just that npcs can't appreciate art as always
>I'm a huge waiting room music fan
I really loved this one, but it's honestly the only boss track that I remember
I loved ER OST
Morgott, Mohg, Godfrey, Godrick, Radagon, Black Knives, Formidable Foe I, Fortissax and Placidusax are some of the best Fromsoft ever used
Maliketh has a great theme too
Only main theme, Atlus plateau, and Godskin Apostles stood out to me.
I think people just wanted another DS3 ost where it's all just really epic choir music. Elden Ring feels more like DS1 in that it's music feel more in-line with where it's being played.
>I think people just wanted
There's nothing organic in this thread. Elden Ring soundtrack was universally praised
I only liked Leyndell's area theme, every time I start a new character I turn the music off because Limgrave's theme is insultingly bad
I like Limgrave's theme, all the overworld music is good and does a lot for the tone and atmosphere of each zone
There is a big trend in Japan for musicians who have weight behind them to start free lancing. It means they directly control how much they get paid. It all started with the Nier musicians
>sinking ship
>meanwhile fromsoft is just as beloved (even on Ganker) and even more successful than ever

I disagree, Sekiro had some of my favorites across any From game.
First Owl Fight
Corrupted Monk
Demon of Hatred
Guardian Ape
Senpou Temple Battle Theme
I lift to this shit.
I like ER ost, gays here just hate on shit for literally no reason.
Yuka was cute I wish I could marry and procreate with her
>ITT anons pretend to understand or appreciate music so they can be contrarian about it
Did she do Bloodborne music? First Hunter is peak ear kino.
Barely, and all her pieces in BB are easily the most forgettable, droning, and directionless
>Watchers
>Rom
>Ebrietas
>Lady Maria
First Hunter was Tsukasa Saitoh
Ebrietas and Maria themes are two of the best in the game
I really like Maria's phase 1 music.
>sinking ship
This level of contrarianism should be considered a disease.
As long as they keep Hoshino there's no problem
Good thing Elden Shit score was underwhelming, Now cast open world out of the window and we're all good

Very common phenomenon, especially in eastern Europe, studios die in a short time because they mismanage the next even bigger project, CDPR was very close to this fate.

Thank god. GOODBYE. DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT, b***h!
Hello, I actually have good taste when it comes to soundtracks. The best soundtrack was dark souls 1. Never played dark souls 2 though. Dark souls 3 quickly becomes derivative and attempts to be far more grand and epic then it really is resulting in a silly juxtaposition with what you're actually doing and what it sounds like you're doing. Plus because they do it for every boss, it quickly loses its uniqueness.
Dark Souls 2 has a lot of great tracks and a lot of shit ones, it's kind of all over the place. Pursuer, Executioner's Chariot, Royal Rat Authority, and Old Dragonslayer all have great themes
Kadokawa, hire this guy.
?si=bc-PYFGnFl4GGrXt
>mogs all of DS3 and ER
pretty meh. gehrman's theme is good and that's about it from bb
Tone deaf
Gascoigne, Bloodstarved Beast, Logarius, Ebrietas, Gehrman, Ludwig, Living Failures, Maria, and Orphan all have fabtastic themes
already mentioned gehrman is a 10/10, forgot about gascoigne, that one is great as well. ebreitas is good. the rest are shit
Nope
And The One Reborn, and Logarius.
Laurence, Living Failures and Gehrman are the 3 best in the game. Ludwig is also great
Keiichi Okabe is freelance, I'd love to see him direct the OST for a souls game.
i liked the main theme (and how it comes back during the radagon fight) but that's about it
i know i'll get shit for this but i've always thought this series had pretty weak music. i like that they use the music sparingly by saving it just for bosses and hubs, that automatically makes a lot of the tunes memorable, but i think outside of that, very few of them are that great.
like from dark souls one, gwyn's theme might be the only song i actually like. sif and o&s's themes are extremely memorable to me but i'd never really want to listen to them outside of playing the game
I don't think listenability outside the context of the game should be a factor in how good an OST is.
Why not. If you only listened to it once when you played the game is it really that good compared to something you liked enough to listen to even outside the game?
There's no problem listening to a game's soundtrack outside the context of the game, but at that point it's just an album. The only time it's quality as a soundtrack should be judged, is while it's being played over the game.
I don't actually think the OST in Soul's games is anything to write home about bar a few songs, I just don't feel like separating them from their context says anything about their quality.
>I don't actually think the OST in Soul's games is anything to write home about bar a few songs
Elden Ring is objectivelu the first Frosmoftware game to have good and high quality OST actually, it's just that people don't pay attention while playing.

What kind of moronic dumbfrick argument is that? All music is simoly made to be listened at, no matter the media it is in. You think Titanic OST is less iconic because the movie isn't playing if you put it on youtube?
You also can rarely appreciate Elden Ring soundtrack while busy fighting
i don't disagree, but that aside i think many of dark souls 1's boss themes really stand out when you listen to them one after the other. the three i listed do, but can you really remember the themes of ceaseless discharge or iron golem? or even story important bosses like the 4 kings or bed of chaos? or anything from the DLC
Not him but Iron Golem and Four Kings have two of my favoeite themes in the game, every DS1 track stands out really prominently in my mind except for Centipede Demon and Ceaseless Discharge

This is unironically the song i hate the fricking most because that place is SO FRICKING EMPTY and all you do is hold B and run forward while listening to this SHIT.
she composed 1/3 of the worthwhile track in this heap of shit (Malenia's theme)
I know you people want to spin this into some sort of negative story, but th fact of the matter is that for composers freelancing is literally the endgame. Uematsu is a freelancer, the dude from Chrono Trigger is a free lancer. Leaving the game company your worked for and turning to free lancing means you've made it.
I personally don't like Kitamuras music but this news just means she's more in demand than ever before. Also, I assure you that she'll still work with from soft on their game music unless they find someone better.
Just hire Michiru Yamane.
You will never see RAP MUSIC in any Soulsborne instances' trailer and this is one of the many reason why it's good.

ER doesnt have a single memorable track except main menu
every time i go to check the DeS-r soundtrack I'm slammed with a wall of revulsion and have to click out after a few seconds
DeS has my favorite soundtrack of all the games and the remake OST is so unbelievably off the mark it's shocking, how do you take an OST that's so perfectly moody and understated and atmospheric and turn it into generic bombastic hollywood blockbuster schlock
From gotta hire Jeremy Soule.
They kinda should despite the allegations
>mfw they hired Inon Zur instead
They didn't write anything memorable for a decade
How in the frick did the Elden Ring composer leave Fromsoft after 12 years when the game hasn't even been out that long??
Thank God, she fricking sucks. Bloodborne had the best music because it hired different composers than this hack
Kitamura wrote half Bloodborne tracks
She only wrote 4
Not any of the good ones.
They should hire Kow Otani
Pretty sure this never means anything with composers they just become free lance and still contribute to the games typically.
I'm going to be dead ass with you brother, it's been 10 years since a From game had any music I give a frick about.
Damn, that's nice
its very hard to frick up mainly piano only songs in general thats why it sounds nice, piano is just a great instrument in general.
Elden Ring OST is better than Bloodborne or DS3 because they are actually varied, creative and high quality
It uses bells, trumpets and generally more instruments compared to BB/DS3 being mostly violin and chorus.
?si=117aHRwZidaR4gJ4
Nobody can make a proper criticism to it because
>Elden Ring is too hard for people to focus on the song
>Discord Black folk are samegayging/and trying to astroturf their "ER bad" narrative.
Honestly, it is barely distinctive from "epic blockbuster trailer music". It has some interesting moments but you will not listen to it because of them
>Honestly, it is barely distinctive from "epic blockbuster trailer music".
You are genuinely clueless and I doubt you understand music besides vibing to elevator pop songs
The use of the chromatic scale is immaculate, the instruments all blend together perfectly. It's flawlessly composed and executed and you can compare it to some garbage 2 steps from hell just because you have no idea of what you are talking about
>Shazamtroony seething

Doesn't ER appeal to trannies or I am missing something here?
no, it's not westernized enough
How can it be more Westernized?

Black person how schizo you have to be that everyone that disagrees with you is completely wrong and there is no merit to their arguments?
Elden Ring is fun but the music aint even close to great save a few tracks that do fit. Fromgays just want their shit to be the best at everything guess what it aint. Play more games homosexual.
The homosexuals who are like "uuun actually it all sounds the same, this soundtrack sounds so much better!" and then they post the most shitty soundtracks that makes my ears bleed aren't much better my man.
I admit ER's soundtracks inconsistent and more forgettable than Bloodborne's and DS3's but it's not bad, also, Kitamura worked on all the better tracks so makes me sad she's leaving.
No unironically almost all of them suck. You not liking video game music is not my problem, you just dont have the taste for it you have to be able to like multiple generes.
Fromsoft has no imagination when it comes to music they just said: "do what fits the game and thats it i dont care" so they made almost everything boring chiors of uuuaaa oooaa auu
>it has choirs so it's bad
Where does this opinion come from, what is this vendetta against hearing multiple human voices and thinking they all sound the same when they obviously fricking don't?
In what universe does Godfrey's theme sound the same as Mohg's? What about more atmospheric soundtracks like Leyndell's?
I admit Morgott's theme is shit and speiclaly more dissapoiting because it's not like all the other forgettable BGMs that take place in random copypaste cave minibosses.
its generic chiors, fromsoft even admitted the latin lyrics dont mean anything they are almost random just "say something superficially representative of the boss it doesnt have to mean anything other than a description of what you see already"
lyrics dont even have lore with them.
I dont even remember the latin words for the radagon song but it just says: MASCULINE, MALE, VIRILE, STRONG (fortis or whatever) its fricking stupid. Get good taste.
>MASCULINE, MALE, VIRILE, STRONG
That's based though.
?si=tbUwEVzZ0u3uOxAI
thats not based thats limp dicked and unmeaningful. I can see it, it tells me nothing profound about the boss like what he did before or anything or what he felt or his ideology or anything.
>limp dicked
t. Korean feminist
who gives a shit about any of that maybe they didn't want to tell you about any lore with the music and that's that, you wanna be vaati out here analyzing lyrics because ot makes it "le deeper?"
Bloodborne did had lyrics for multiple songs but it was always stuff loosely related to the lore that we already known, like, yeah, the magic healing blood is indeed sacred big deal...
I give a shit about story telling in music, it can make an area more beautiful or a fight, being a lyricist is an art but plebs like you wouldn't get it.
Sure it's nice but making the violins and drums and singing sound good takes enough effort and is good enough for me to become attached to it, most times, lyrics in vidya music are cringe or fit very loosely on the subject matter and I think it just ain't worth the effort when it comes to fricking latin chanting, at least with music in english I can give it to you since having gibberish there would be moronic but even the MGR soundtrack has lyrics that are just... shit happening bro?
Sam is motivated so the lyrics have a mountain? Monsoon is about le social darwinism so... pain? Rain? UI mean he's named monsoon...
I don't care enough, keep lyricism to poetry and standalone music and I won't miss much.
yes, this fits, is meaningful, makes an argument, hits where it has to, I'm glad that you compared a good ost vs a shit one (fromsoft), this is exactly how it must be done but within the fantasy medieval context of course and that doesnt mean spam generic YouTube "2 hour epic music compilation" latin chants everywhere:
?si=ZdaLjVp8T1VmlH3N
FF has had lyrics since 7.
And it's amazing how much I don't give a shit about them, I've enjoyed FFXVI's OST for a while now because I know the music is good even if the game sucks and the story is worse, any time a yt vid had lkyrics I just to look away because I either don't care or it's actively cringe, I like the soundtracks because it SOUNDS good and fits well, that's that.
>The chanting NEEDS to be le deep and meaningful!
>All fromsoft soundtracks are loud and sound the same... goyslop
I can be a shitter too you know?
I'd say that's an incredibly sad way to look at things but whatever.
vast amount of soundtracks out there dont' have lyrics, if it has lyrics, be they in german or enlighs or latin, I guess it's fine, I guess I like that in this one song there's someone singing something that has a meaning, even if transalted it's just shit happening I can see some worth in it, but just because a piec eof music doesn't have that I don't think it makes it shit? If you get a piece of music with lyrics that mean something and then you wask a genie to undo that and make it so it's gibberish or just "ooh aah" I would mind, that's shitty, a dick move, but if a song from the start doesn't have lyrics... who cares?
I played Risk of Rain 2, no lyricism there, but some of the themes are banger bro, you've enjoyed instrumental too you know?
So if the abyss watchers has no lyrics then what's wrong with that? Is your argument that there's nothing wrong with that but there's something wrong to making your songs sound like they have lyrics even if they don't
ER songs having lyrics or not is already really vague when you listen to it, whereas in Bloodborne it's pretty clear that the words have a measning, a beggining and end, when you hear closely.
With ER they just wanted the vibe of a choiri singing something, but the fact that it's not ACTUALLY doing that annoys you? Makes you feel something's off or wrong? And that in itself is reason enough to bash it?
Because I don't care, maybe that's the difference
tbh yeah I think about it as Monster Hunter language, ever seen an old MH cutscene from before MHWorld? It has the vibe of people talking but they're just saying vague shit, it's a mde up language that has no rules, it's not elvish or anything like that, it's just a bunch of made up sounds that loosely reseble french and japanese at the same time for some reason and that's all you needed, you see people talking on the cutscenes and you think "oh they talking" and that's all you needed to know, in fact, actually kinda sovlful sometimes
>Is your argument that there's nothing wrong with that but there's something wrong to making your songs sound like they have lyrics even if they don't
Yes. It cheapens the experience for me. Makes it feel like they're trying too hard to make you go "Woah, this is epic. Isn't it epic, aren't you excited?!"
Well I can see why you might think that but I'm with this guy
I just couldn't find the words to explain it because I dunno shit about MH.
You want to give the vibe of something without actually writing a tangible meaning on it and I don't think that's bad, why is it? Is there a logical reason for it being bad? maybe you just wanted to add texture to the words but not write the lyrics so you fricking make shit up instead of having it all be "ooh aaah" and you just let the "ooh aah" be in slower more somber songs and that's it. What is so bad about that?
Lyrics to me are like the cherry on top but it seems like to you the fact that they just made shit up is an actual tangible flaw that makes you like it much less, instead of how I feel neutral about it.
Bloodborne I can remember almost every boss song.
Elden Ring I can only remember the main theme (and it's variations) and the droning caelid theme that's the same 30 second song on loop forever.
>the chanting doesn't NEED to mean anything!
>It's just gotta be loud and le epic!
fromsoft fans c'mon......
I really don't get how you can forget the Godrick theme. The drop post-phase transition is great. Funny how the weakest demigod got the best theme.
Tell me one song with latin chants that has a deep meaning?
I mean, I guess I don't dislike that if you translate the Attack On Titan soundtrack from german sometimes it means something but... I don't much care, I listen to the instrumental ones as much as the ones with lyrics or maybe more anyway
?t=158
And with latin chants on a fantasy vidya I give like, even less of a shit, maybe less than half of a shit
It's better when the lyrics actually have a meaning I guess, like with Bloodborne, and the AI generated choir lyrics thing didn't pop out until ER because in DS3 they weren't ashamed to have the choirs just chant instead of singing a song, but at the end of the day? I don't give a shit, I just care that it sounds good you are just making shit up to be like "seeee? It's shit because the ancient latin sounding lyrics actually don't have a tranlateable meaning for vaati to uncaover!". Who gives a shit? What matters is the instruments and singing to sound good because I ain't listening to the lyrics when I'm playing the game or when I'm listening to it on yt.
The music is pretty good it just isn't that memorable compared with a classic OST like Symphony of the Night or Deus Ex, which relied heavily on memorable synthetic melodies and motifs, rather than sweaping orchestral arrangements.
Shadow of the Colossus is closer in intention to Elden Ring, and it's more memorable. I think people are asking for something like that. But people saying it's bad are just dishonest.
its unironically pure famboyism
if Fromsoft dared to make a creative song where they mix more generes around it or even an enviromental alieny sounding track you know Fromdrones would be overhyping that shit like
>omg look how revolutionary this song is it fits so well they are SO CREATIVE they did something NOBODY expected
>millions of games have done it before tho
>BRO BUT FROMSOFT DID IT THE BEST
Its fanboyism, bullshit its not
almost nobody goes through their day thinking damn I wanna listen to some Elden Ring music and sits down to do it. Fromsoft never been good at making music they dont care they only care about delivering their gameplay formula that worked for them once so they gotta squeeze all the bank they can with it.
Doesn't Armored Core do that?
what genred you want them to mix bro?
Want them to start doing DeS style music again?
Or fricking... Metal Gear Revengeance sounding ass?
To me Bloodborne's music and ER's sound really distinctive IDK what's this gaslight that everything's the same, though ER's music and DS3 is interchangeable.
Sekiro is also completely different IDK what to tell you if you really think all From does is the same shit.
Metal Gear Revengance is a good example yes thats a good ost unilke Fromsoft.
A lot of things fit a fantasy game, dont be moronic, final fantasy has done it way before. Symphonic Metal fits a fantasy game, a lot of shit can be done you are just a FromDRONE homosexual fanboy. But dont worry they will never get creative with the music I already know.
FFXVI has a great soundtrack but it's music doesn't fit Fromsoft's worlds at all.
Discussing music here is a waste of time, what do you even say to people to talk to them about it? If someone says "yeah everything these guys make is shit" and makes up bullshit reasons why such as "uhm yeah it all sounds the same and epic orchestras are bad because they ar eok?" there's no real way to engage with them?
I can post the shitties Frtomsoft song and juxtapose it to my favorite and all the homies in her will say is "hehe it sounds the same lol slop"
Fromsoft music is so bad it can be AI generated.
Let that sink. Cuckazaki will NEVER make something like the best of FF or Motoi Sakuraba or Yoko Shinomura or whatever the frick. NEVER. Fromsoft = No musical talent having HACKS.
Thats all I have to say.
From trannies on suicide watch.
Why do Fromsoft threads have to be full of bait
>enviromental alieny sounding track
?si=-eKXBvjrOso5jz65
I listen to the Ancestral Spirit tracj from ER. The main theme has motifs from Demon's Souls King Allant theme.
Every Fromsoft game has good music and I could identify it if you played it on shuffle with generic orchestral music.
Tsukasa Saitoh is a great producer and so is Kitamura and the rest.
Gehrman's theme is iconic.
Suck my dick and stop posting stupid shit that lowers the quality of the world.
>almost nobody goes through their day thinking damn I wanna listen to some Elden Ring music and sits down to do it.
Yep.
>Fromsoft never been good at making music they dont care they only care about delivering their gameplay formula that worked for them once so they gotta squeeze all the bank they can with it
Yes and no. If that were true they would have made Elden Ring 2™ immediately after ER, instead of making a much less marketable Armoured Core game.
It's Bamco that wants Fromsoft to milk the Souls formula, which is why they pushed for 2 (and it was a resulting pile of shit) and why 3 was made (and I like 3, but it's very obvious from the narrative that Fromsoft did NOT want to make another title in the same setting).
Bloodborne was an adventurous decision that made many changes from the underlying formula.
Ultimately, 4 Souls games wouldn't have been made it there wasn't a huge market for it.
Yeah they made AC6 in only one year.
Just some Discord servers trying to sway "public opinion" by coordinating attacks against your favorite media. They're even releasing games now like this and the Basedjak Defenders games. They are typically pro-Russia and hate Fromsoft.
The (mind)broken remnants of the Shazam Empire
Once a proud nation, their hubris got the better of them after their victory of the Cyberpunks - they got TOO wienerY(, BROS), and fought battle after battle, their sanity waning with each defeat.
Now they wander the board, mindlessly lashing out in impotent rage.
>The (mind)broken remnants of the Shazam Empire
I almost forgot about those people.
It's actually 1 Hack&Slash/action Black person crying his eyes out because Souls games are popular and he can't play them for shit.
it's the shazam morons
Can they go back to memorable and unique music again?
>not a new ip
Damn, guess I got another anon's IP after cycling my router.
She works as freelancer, whixh is the maximum aspiration for a composer, but that doesn't mean Fromsoftware won't hire her again
I think her and Miyazawa are the most talented but they are all good
?si=oF__cCweuQJrnkLZ
uhhhh DLC bros...? It's fricking over isn't it
Without the oooooooooooooooh and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh noises it's going to be unplayable
The music has been shit after Dark Souls 1. For how much I love Bloodborne, I can't remember most of the songs. Elden Ring has all of maybe 5 somewhat memorable songs in a 60 hour game. I think my favorite was the festival choir in Redmane Castle, it made you feel something.
Give us a playful piano, brass out the ass, more plucked strings, something with lots of drums, fricking anything. More variety.
Armored Core 6 did have a lot of fun stuff at least.
What an absolute buffoon shit eater you are.
Elden Ring OST is absolute quality. ACVI is some gay gimmicky ambience song despite coming from a series with wildly different genres because they wanted to make le epic Blade Runner ambience for the whole game. How does it feel to have such shit taste?
>All the posts saying "Elden Ring has only this one memorable song"
>They all mention a different song
Clearly Eldem Ring has a lot of memorable songs
Yeah let's count them.
Main theme, the deer, Apostle, Redmane.
AI generated.
You should play the game before getting buck broken.
She's just one of several composers. Look at the soundtrack listing, she did like 20% of the tracks TOPS
Limgrave OST might be one of the best soundtracks for an area they've ever made
>Main/Radagon Theme
>Godskin Theme
>Elden Beast Theme
>Mohg Theme
>Godfrey Theme
These are the only ones I remember and dare say are the best. Anything else?
Radahn, Malenia, Placidusax, Maliketh
Limgrave
It's the perfect mix of forlorn and relaxing
>Lord's Apparition
>Fallingstar Beast
>Erdtree Knights
>Maliketh
>Godrick
>Morgott
>Fortissax
>Dragon
>Lansseax
>God-Devouring Serpent
Off the top of my head
The ancestor spirit had a great track. Completely different tone from most others in the game, very ethereal feeling.
2nd phase of Malenia is a well-written tune.
I've never heard it over the sounds of my own profanity.
Literally the only theme that I can remember, other than main one, is the one used for Loretta/DTS/few more bosses.
Rest of them are so boring and devoid of personality, I won't be able to recall them if my life depended on it.
How do you even go from early Souls titles to that? Is the music in ER AI generated?
I legitimately dropped ER due to environment music. To this day, I heard this fricking music from underground forest in my nightmares.
*violin playing*
*drumming* TATA TATATA TA ATATATATATTAT
Lyrics:
AAAA OOOO AAA OOO UUUU AAAA OOO AAA OOOO UUU AAAAA OOO AAAAA OOO AAAAAH
Thats every Slopsoft song. Except Gwyn's.
Its generic and cringe.

Old news and Elden ring was their biggest success to date. The gays on Ganker doomposting are hilarious.
Yuka-chan left to move to Ontario and become my housewife. Please respect our privacy.
Only pajeets, chinese, and africans move to Canada
There are certainly lots of beautiful Chinese girls around these parts, but there's a few Japanese people around.
I feel like her music was getting progressively worse with each iteration, Sekiro has one of the worst soundtracks I've ever heard in a video game while Elden Ring was uninspired and monotonous. I bet they'll find someone better in no time.
post real bangers that beat soulslop without even trying:

>gayRPG shit
godskin duo was the only song i added to my playlist. main theme / radaghan is pretty good, but it plays so many fricking times throughout a playthrough, that it just wore itself out.
mohg's is okay
godrick the grafted i turned off into the second half, because it was just too derivative, and every other boss theme i just sort of clicked through because it was getting too samey
platinum'd the game btw
fuk mixed up radaghan and uh. the other r.
radaghast? no no that's diablo
i hate the names in elden ring tbh
>>>>>>>>>>>
wait no radaghast is lotr
i was thinking of radamant
frick this radda radda bullshit
>not a new IP
C'mon Kota
>Ask a memorable song
>Everyone gives 1 or 2 completely different themes, with no real consensus
So they are all really memorable and good
Motoi Sakuraba did the best stuff anyway and he’s a freelancer.
Shunsuke Kida*
Souls games never had a good ost
And even if Motoi Sakuraba is a great composer he was restricted to soulslop sounds. He has made his magnum opus already
?si=zac0wZOIgMskkPBA
?si=QcqwO3-gpLWVBTkE
?si=n0bCvlX1XqbyizTq
>Who hadn't heard of the tales? Of the endless war the Gods wage with the creatures of darkness.
I get goosebumps every time I hear Turn Over a New Leaf.
motoi sakuraba also did baten kaitos
his symphonic metal influence is very notable, skilled metal gays are simply the ones single handedly preserving western civilization in their music
Only thing I don't get about Motoi is why he tries to inject his little signature into most of his JRPG battle themes.
I always use spotify when playing videogames so I literally had no idea this game had music.
Godskin is still BY FAR the best song.
If your first encounter with one was at the notMidsommar village then it was peak kino.
Bloodborne is the only From game with decent music anyway
Old news dumbass. The rest of the comments in the thread are just as dumb because Ganker has no taste.
metal gays make the best music and they are the preservers of based classical music. Every great composer is sort of a metal gay.
Motoi Sakuraba is clearly is kinda a symphonic metal gay
Didn't elden ring have like 6 composers with the guy who did Godrick the Grafted (one of the only good boss OSTs) having never done the job before?
DeS soundtrack was leagues more memorable btw. Literally all I remember from Dark Souls is the Gwyn theme and all from ER is the title theme and I guess the final boss theme where they repeat the letimotif, but even that isn't something to actually like listening to, it's just something I "remember". It's pretty much mostly generic fart music for boss fights
elden ring flopped, no one wants to admit it
surely fromsoft is doomed now
2 more weeks, trust the plan.
Discord trannies: "Random chants are bad and meaningless"
Meanwhile Utena: https://youtu.be/CnUOowCUJQo?si=dtVP1adO8biOPpUS
I love From games. King's Field has better music than modern From games. The music sucks.
Erdtree Avatar and Margit's theme are criminally underrated.
who cares. soundtracks don't matter in video games.
see:
here is the moron, this is unironically how fromdrones think deep down the truth is its only the same gameplay for them they havent got bored of it and will defend every other aspect of the game as 10/10 even if its mediocre or like this dude admit the truth that they dont really care.
Is there a good boss theme that uses rap?
Persona 3
or Final Fantasy 13-2 "Worlds Collide" track
We won Kota Hoshino chads..
But at what cost?
Fromdrones are low IQ
No game will ever break Ganker the way Elden Ring did
Kinda. BotW did it but it's sorta dying down now that TotK came along and the shitpost on that game has died down too. Elden Ring seethe is still going strong, we'll see if it is as long-lasting as BotW seethe was.
Bring back Shunsuke Kida.
for me, it's The Beginning.
Intro still gives me goosebumps
From's games haven't had a good soundtrack since Dark Souls.
Boring uninspired tracks.
Demon's Souls was their best
