Why do people pretend he's this god tier composing genius when he's only actually capable of making like 2 good melodies per expansion?
>inb4 muh leitmotifs
Soken overuses them. The mere fact that there are leitmotifs doesn't automatically mean that they're implemented well. He uses them as a crutch.
>tfw felt inspired by him a year and a half ago and got into making video game music
here's a kusoge im currently making

You the guy who recreated the song from the reveal trailer?
It's all pretty comfy, makes me think of urban JRPGs from the early 90's
I'm not that youtube guy or whatever but I posted this once here https://voca.ro/19OfuT7CTP8X
Not the one I'm thinking of, but your style sounds way too close to what I am thinking of, so I'm sure you're the same guy. But maybe not.
It was the track that kicks in once it sweeps through Sharlayan
oh you're talking about Endwalker, I thought you meant 16 because that's the theme that plays when they show rosaria
I have done a sharlayan remake yeah after the trailer but I forgot if I posted it here, I most likely have though. Or on /xivg/
that was when i first started though and it sounded awful lmao. was it this one? https://voca.ro/1aVtZO7T1JK5
Yeah, it was this track but a much earlier version of it at the time
damn, you got a good memory anon
I guess the track made an impression, keep it up anon
Sounds great actually. Keep it up anon.
bass too high ATM.
Always check on speakers as well if you are only using headphones.
Rule of doubling on frequencies will also halp you probably.
cool stuff
don't listen to this guy, if anything, vidya tracks aren't bassy enough these days
lulz.
Fair enough. Make bass-maxxed tracks if you want.
What's with the smear campaign lately?
>ackshully yoshitpiss doesn't do much directing someone else does a lot of the work
>ackshully soken doesn't do much composing someone else does a lot of the work
>ackshully koji doesn't do much translating someone else does a lot of the work
Does it come from the fact that they're all working on 16 right now?
Yeah Barry is looking for other avenues of attack
>people talking about video games they don't like is a smear campaign
why are FFXIV players so paranoid and insecure?
Stop making these threads in rapid succession and people won't think youre full of shit
>rapid succession
>2 threads
you need to see a doctor lol
>within hours apart
Yup that reeks of mental illness and seething
oh noooo 2 posts about the same thing within a few hours on a video game board? what will the xiv players do????
Make multiple threads on Ganker about the same shit, and seethe when someone says they dislike something about their godly game.
Like pottery.
Because they legit think the game is perfect so the only excuse to say it's not must be trolling.
Its the regular autist throwing his new naratives at the wall and seeing what sticks
SHB and ARR had the best OSTs because they relied so little on leitmotifs overall. Yes, they have some, but you can actually go to a new area most of the time and not be thinking the whole time "this is the exact same song as the last one I heard for 30 minutes, just on a different instrument".
People compare this mid composer to Nobuo... NOBUO of all people.
Soken can't even write good songs, you have great ballads from Nobuo like eyes on me, and some of FFXIV's greatest themes were written by him.
But nope, FFXIVgays can't even seem to differentiate Soken's music from Nobuo's.
>FFXIVgays can't even seem to differentiate Soken's music from Nobuo's.
xivgays have really basic b***h taste in basically everything. they're extremely mediocre people. they're the sonic the hedgehog fans of the rpg world.
I think the only song I liked from Soken, was Insanity from Shb, because it actually sounded like him pushing out of his boundaries.
He steals his songs anyway
Get a rest
2 good songs is a lot
Barry, stop touching yourself
why do XIV players hallucinate so many boogeymen?
why does barry use why so much?
It's a tactic.
Isn't he half-beaner? You'd thing nu-Ganker would love him.
>Isn't he half-beaner
Is he? He's got something else in him that's for sure.
I think he was born in Mexico or something yeah
Soken is very cool, both as a person and as a composer.
I think his more atmospheric themes are dull as frick but his boss themes are astonishingly good and diverse.
I fear a lot of the XIV staff are going to land in early graves, they do not live healthy lifestyles at all even without cancer to deal with.
I don't know why most old men just refuse to regularly check and take care of themselves
They have never heard Wagner and are just average gamers.
>he doesn't know that nicotine has excellent anti-aging qualities for the brain
