Honestly? It gives me a professor layton vibe with the use of accordion tbh. It's really a good simple track that I think I hear semblance to a main/character theme in it? I dig it a lot though. It's repetition isn't just the same, it lets a bit of variety follow it up.

I'm really swayed because the usage of instruments is certainly unique and there's a great balance of contrast that makes everything fit so well, and the song just has that instantly pleasing effect to my ears.

Instantly I heard something similar to the great sage theme of miitopia to be honest. I really dig the dramatic tones and the usage of a soft-ish (but strong) voice (similar to the type of voice Tsubasa from Symphogear has?) against strong instruments. It just loses me w/o vocals but hooks me back before I'm listening too long w/o a voice.

Honestly??? This took me by surprise? I heard it definitely before but forgot about it then. Especially for a PR video game then, this is a surprisingly strong track and the usage of drums standout to help the rest of the track tbh.

Ah, Enix, before they combined w/ Squaresoft. It's strikingly strong and reminds me a bit of Final Fantasy? (Standing out to 4 or 6 in mind...) It's definitely the usage of instruments and the composition of them all. I really like it over all, but it doesn't exactly change up after a while.

It's a good track! I really enjoyed the usage of vocals + instruments to create a sense of harmony and it worked out well! Unfortunately, as pretty as it was and pleasing to my ears, I kind of thought that was all it. It didn't provide much of anything else for me personally.

That initial instrument made me cry. After that, I listened to a good song. Just something about the entire melody though just kind of bugs me. I feel like I've just heard something like this and it has no hook on me to listen to it any longer than the video was.

It's good but god the lyrics and voice honestly sounds so.... generic. The instruments are also kind of... generic. It's just generic........

EDIT: Holy shit?? It's the same person who did the Night in the Woods soundtrack??? Man they really did improve.

It's because I had already posted the same song >.>

It was the version from the 2nd game instead of this one, but they're basically the same thing. (I actually like this version better to be fair, but felt like posting the SC one instead)

I'm really jamming out, and the usage of switching to a quiet tone to an exploration/dungeon crawling feel is a really good variance that lets the instruments play up each part, creating something that doesn't get too stale too fast.

If I heard this far away, I'd think Nickelodeon GAS returned and I'd be disappointed. It's not bad and has a lot of variance to it but it's a bit all over for my tastes. It knows exactly what it wants but can't figure out how to express it completely until specific parts.

It leads my ears in a listening direction in what they want me to focus on while balancing out all the elements of the song, hitting around 3:40 for a really beautiful harmony of everything, vocals, instruments, background vocals.

welp. Maybe I'll like it better in-game over just listening too. Usually music can be more enjoyable in the source material.

this is a really fantastic and slow track that has a lot of emotion packed into it. One of those songs that you can close your eyes and things just... are okay even if the world is a mess. The usage of violins are very powerful.

Lost in Round 2 to In the Final (11-15)

because vgmc has been a pit of suffering for me ever since SPHILIA won

But I'm always so happy when people express liking EXA_PICO music. ^_^. Which is increasingly rare these days since Board 8 so rarely gets new users. And even more rarely ones who want to talk VGM.

I've def been around B8 for a yearish time or ever since the Undertale madness in the goty contest but haven't been around recently for a lot of personal reasons so I figure I take time and get back to places I haven't been around to for a while!

Definitely a good change of pace, and I really dig it. I should really get to Trails in the Sky some time....... I really like the usage of instruments and the switch to the chorus vocals. Then when the two combine for..... so good. The latter half is definitely where it picks up into a 9.5 category. (I was gonna rank it as 8.5)

What can I say, MegaMan just has good music. The composition of it treating your ears to something slightly different at each portion and giving a defining feeling at each part.

It's a good objectively and overall. Initially, my thought was I like it but it's not something i'd put on repeat constantly. However it's very strong sound and provides a really good variance. As it progressed, I found myself really enjoying it.

I definitely recommend Trails in the Sky if you like RPGs that have a heavy focus on story, characters and world-building. Amazing series for it.

And yes, once Merciless Savior hits the 2:00 mark it gets real and stays real.

I also have somehow not gone with anything from Neotokyo yet, I must be slacking.

One of my best friend's favorite game. I'd recognize those string works anywhere too, Shimomura. It's a composition wise fantastical piece with lots of heart you can just feel. Heart.... Heartless.... Shulk confirmed for Kingdom Hearts 3.

I really dig the chaotic tone it got going on, while it does take a moment to listen and get into the good part. It really uses the vocals to achieve the goals while providing straight instruments in the later half and it divides me in a very odd way. When it's straight up instruments too though, it's beautiful. Overall though, it's pretty amazing over all? Just very conflicting too but they balance it out very well.

FYI I'm 95% sure this repeats at around the 4:00 mark, and if it doesn't then it's all repeated except for one phrase or something. So, you can stop there if you want without missing anything important.

Taken from JONA's topic:

It was really hard to pick a single song from this game's OST. This one is among my favorites, but not my absolute favorite because I wanted to pick a Castlevania song that didn't sound so Castlevania-ish.
