Anyone have that vidya song they disliked at first but warmed up to?

Is it already time again to post the happiest man alive?

Whole soundtrack's one of those "weird but good" sorts, but this one, with its indecipherable Relares lyrics (a language for the game; some words do have translations, but not in the context of a song) and dissonance between both voices, is one that stands out.

>>15897894

Is there a listing yet of all the guest composers in Ultimate and their associated tracks? Been wondering if they bothered to get one of my favorite composers back for more than just one new song, and when I'd looked in the past most were still unknowns.

>When I was a kid, the only thing I seemed to be interested in was video games and music.

Same, except now as a grown adult I find myself more interested in music than video games. The only reason I'm here is for the industry drama and older games/emulation

I find this boss theme from 7th Dragon III Code VFD is crazy intense. The version on Youtube is of lower quality.

Use this if it's too hard for you.

How does VFD compare with the prior entries in the series? That is, you've played them anyhow.

>>15898676

Does that allow flac input, out of curiosity? Method I've been using doesn't understand trying to input anything but mp3.

Posting some Street Fighter Alpha 3 music.

I've only played the first 7th Dragon and VFD. I definitely enjoyed VFD a ton due to all the stupid OP shit you could do. It was challenging at times but I think it's as fun as the first game, if not more. Though you don't have to run through poisonous flowers 24/7 now.

As for the flac, I believe it takes flac as well.

The first Lego Island game had surprisingly good music. Wonder if the second game's soundtrack is any good?

>>15898738

Well, it seems to indeed understand FLAC as an input, and even output a smaller filesize than I'd expected, without me having to resize the image first. It would still be nice if it had an option to set a maximum parameters for filesize, and an auto adjust to meet that though.

>>15898750

Doesn't seem to share a composer, so I couldn't make an estimate without actually digging.

>>15898754

Ah, that's a shame.

YU-NO has such a good soundtrack. Ryu Umemoto left this world too soon sadly.

Posting some Dodonpachi Daifukatsu Black Label music.

Thanks a ton anon.

This song cuts deep into my soul.

>>15909599

>'Rocket Jump Waltz'

>isn't a waltz

FM synths are pretty cool.

>>15909599

Dammit anon, you've made me sad. I miss the old days of tf2 so much

>>15899066

This is much better than I expected.

Anyone know what song this is?

Vintage shmup tunes

Back when Capcom's mediocre games even had top tier music.

For people who wondered if Richard Jacques and TJ Davis continued to make Sonic R sounding music.

khinsider has a pretty large selection of downloads, but most are just mp3 filetype as opposed to FLAC, and they do have a sizable blacklist of games/series they've been DMCAed to remove. Also a smattering of stuff like anime OSTs and Drama CD rips there as well if those are your thing.

But maybe sift through the stuff here overall >>15908377 .

Say what you will about the FFXIII trilogy, it had a pretty good soundtrack.

Best version of Morrigan's theme. Alex's theme is really good too in Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

>>15933757

The 13 trilogy definitely had my favorite soundtracks in the series.

>>15934093

Gust is still a gift. I'm currently working through Atelier Sophie and, man, I really like the soundtrack. What a comfy game; have some fresh webums.

Help a retard out. What is the aural difference between these two webms?

Accordion to audacity, the tracks are identical. I overwrote R and L over each-other after converting them to mp3 and the waveform did not change a bit no matter how small of a section I looked at. Though in the conversion it seems like the quality lowered so I don't fugging know.

>>15951436

>>15951433

When I run fdupes it doesn't detect duplicates on the opus or the original vag files. A lot of video games from the sixth gen era and up have two of the same audio files with L or R at the end. I can't figure out why and it's driving me crazy. I thought maybe it was front back left, front back right, but I just don't hear it.

What about vidya albums? Usually individual songs are good on their own, but not many OSTs can be listened to as an album on their own.

>>15920378

Glad I'm not the only one who listened to the Murasaki soundtrack.

>>15933468

>Early Tales music.

Man those games had much better music all the way until Vesperia. After that there just wasn't nearly as much quality music coming from the series.

Anyone care for some Kirby?

>>15971278

Honestly, I don't dislike Sakuraba, but he could really, really use more of a break to get some fresher ideas, considering how many main games he's had to compose for now with similar themes and locations. Put Shiina on solo mothership title composition for a game or three and see how it turns out.

I really did like the jazzy tunes that Elympios had in the Xillias though. Namely because it wasn't something the series does a lot.

I think the harsh, gritty twang of Sega Genesis music that I played the shit out of as a kid and always preferred over the SNES's sound font really turned me on to industrial music later in life

Also a very honourable mention to the FTL soundtrack for being the only vidya soundtrack I bought

The Mana series had some nice soundtracks. I really enjoy Legend of Mana and Seiken Densetsu 3's soundtracks. All the above are from SD3.

>>15988120

Go Shiina did wonders with the Legendia soundtrack. I wouldn't mind seeing more of his work in general. Different composers in general would be nice.

I know what you mean. The soundboards for the Genesis, X68000, and PC-98 could make some interesting sounds.

<0:00 - 0:29 meh

>0:29 - 0:57 Ok

>0:57 - 1:44 Good

<1:44 - 2:29 meh

>2:29 - 2:52 Comfy

>2:52 - 3:40 SO FUCKIN GOOD

<3:40 - 4:09 meh

Shiina at least knows how to work with the series, being usually relegated to arrangement work, but yes, he (she? not sure) did a great job with Legendia, to the point it's really the highlight of that game. But bringing in new composers suddenly can be a risky business. Has to be some level of respect for the tone the series is going for, and what had been done prior. Something like Square bringing in, as one anon put it, "2hu shitters" for nuSecret of Mana's OST (instead of letting Kikuta fully do his own arrangements; why the fuck they didn't I don't know, but I'd think the original composer would be the best suited to knowing what can or can't be done with their prior work) wasn't a smart move. Something like having Agematsu and Kouda take over for Michiko Naruke after she got sick partway through composition of Wild Arms 4 worked out for even the games afterward, because there was an apparent respect for the series having had really good music under her, leading to the OSTs for the later games both fitting the established vibe, whilst still having their own distinct flair.
