  • A Dragon's Dogma 2 game key was given to me by Capcom. Thank you Capcom for sponsoring this video!
    Dragon's Dogma 2 is finally here! I've been super curious to see how the soundtrack will compare to the legendary soundtrack of Dragons's Dogma 1. Whether its better or worse, I'm just happy we're finally getting more Dragon's Dogma music after so long!

    People seem to think I'm hating on the game. This video is only about the MUSIC because my channel is about, you know... MUSIC. I'm happy with the game overall and it's actually my favorite game of the year so far.
    If you want to know just how much more special the OST of Dragon's Dogma 1 was, I have a video on that too: ua-cam.com/video/Pmjga6yI4FM/v-deo.html

      As I recall it Itsuno said this is a sort of reimagining of the first game, and so, the music is as well. The new fight songs are really good, at least, but the rest of it is just generic fantasy fare. Fortunately, I got the music pack with old songs as well since I'm a sucker for DD and the remasters are really good.

Altus as well; persona 3- 5 all have crazy good scores that are massively distinct in genre and sound from one another. A lot of Masayoshi Takanaka-esque funky, jazzy upbeat shit going on with both 'tendo and atlus and I go fuckin crazy for it.

  • @faune4256
    @faune4256 2 місяці тому +8

    After playing about 60h the game and listened to some themes that got uploaded on yt. I'd say that DD2' OST focuses more on rythm than melodies than DDDA, which explains why they do not catch up that much.
    Explorations musics do have themes, but they're played pretty slowly while the rythm is basically a long pedal point, which consist on keeping a same note or chord for a long time (example here : ua-cam.com/video/NrukVJqyYNo/v-deo.htmlsi=QJfnzI6NgDxFmaRs). This is a style that is perculary used in meditation music or by minimalists composers (the best example that can talk to a lot of people is the main theme frome Interstellar by Hanz Zimmer).
    As for Battle themes they mostly have a lots of rythmic ostinati, which consist of a rythmic section played repetitively and the theme is played in top of that, which is either short or and played slowly for example here you have the cyclops theme who has a pretty slow theme (ua-cam.com/video/seiTkODm6to/v-deo.htmlsi=81yFmT7mWEnFWHiC). You have a small introduction at 00:05 to 00:25 and then the theme plays clearly until 0:40 and after that there's a little variation played by the strings until the theme repeats a second time with choirs) in the other hand you have the griffin theme here (ua-cam.com/video/Fd4O17JaqNU/v-deo.html) which presents quickly the theme at the beggining (0:08 to 0:15) and then another ostinato that goes cresendo until 0:48 where the theme plays clearly and then takes on varations on the themes at 1:20)
    Here that's a small analysis I give from what I've heard from my musical ear. In my opinion the music is pretty great with far more contenplative and rythm-focused tracks, probably to catch more the more "grounded" medievalish vibe of the game. 'Tis a style that won't talk to everyone, and far more that contrasts a lot with the "edgie" style of the first one. But still, I find the soundtrack cleary awesome even if the themes are a bit harder to catch while playing, the music fits pretty well in the game.
    Thanks for reading 👍

    Dragon's Dogma 2 featured some great music pieces, particularly in the final stretch, but you hit the nail on the head with your analysis. The soundtrack of the first game is undoubtedly superior for all the reasons you mentioned. It's a pity that the hype song you mentioned, End of the Struggle, didn't play, but you would no doubt be disappointed by how much flatter it sounds in DD2.

    Yeah, hi Davi! Suggestion: Song for a Lost Mind (The Last Door). Video: So yeah, now I see what you were talking about on the Discord, I don't know Dragon's Dogma music but I remember from your video that is pretty unique and yeah this one sounds less unique. I hope you are enjoying the game, because I saw many complaints about the performance and the mtx (I think this one is typical from Capcom though and you can get the item ingame). This video just reminds me of Blasphemous 1 and 2, not because of the music, both have awesome soundtracks but very different imo, but obviously the sequel is a improvement in many aspects and more metroidvania-like, which can make people think that Blasphemous 2 is a bit less unique, but I love both games and looking forward to the new content that I hope we will get this year.

    Honestly the music so far ranges from good to boring/generic. The main menu one is just so underwhelming. Everyone is complaining about microtransactions, but I think the only true useful purchase is the old soundtrack, which I bought immediately. It's just too nice and iconic.
    But yeah, I don't understand what is happening with this game. The first one had so many unique tracks and it really set itself apart from all other similar games. This one feel like a mixed bag, like it's trying to be appealing to a more generic audience maybe.

    Yeah, so far, the music is GOOD, but not quite as UNIQUE from what I've experienced. However, I haven't gotten super far either. In a sense, it is kinda refreshing, but I also hope more of the uniqueness the franchise is known for shines through in the later areas and encounters. I do, however, think I heard the song that plays when you're outmatched or facing off against too great a number of foes at once, and I remember it being quite good, but I couldn't focus on it too much since I was trying not to get mauled and battered by more wolves and goblins than I had ever seen in a single area ever before.

    Hey, heres a bit of a random request for something to listen to. So in 2017 a *roblox* game called Phighting released and hasn't really been talked about ever since, despite the game still getting updates.
    The music in the game is SO HYPE especially the song *Sensory Overload* (which might have one of the best best beat drops ive ever heard around the end of the song) and the rest of the game's music is alot more casual (sort of)
    Another game with some insane music is Omega Strikers, so chekc that out when youve got time!

    I really agree about the music; it's serviceable, but not really memorable! i've spent 150 hours playing, and while the gameplay is for many classes an upgrade, the music really isn't a standout and I find myself struggling to remember themes or leitmotifs or melodies. I really understand why music replacements mods are being made, and if I come back to replay or otherwise mod it, I'm definitely going to do that as well. The more memorable and thematic music of the older game can really only help

    This reminds me so much of Sekiro and Elden Ring. Dont get me wrong, both games had music filled with atmosphere and personality, but compared to Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3, those super memorable melodies that you come to expect from Fromsoft just wasnt there. Too often themes in the newer games would just dissolve into a mush of instuments that give ambience but nothing to really mentally latch onto. Just listen to Sword Saint Isshin or Starscourge Radahn to catch my meaning.

      Radhan's music is literally one of the best, it starts of slow with how ur supposed to approach him while he snipes from afar, there's the explosive phase 2 transition that works with the meteor attack, and the last part which sounds like a chant of an army sending of their general.
      All of Elden rings main boss track spoke to the bosses character and the boss fight itself, literally all of them, in ds3 most bosses don't have much character or story outside of being a beast or someone with very little influence, very few tracks have that sense of variety in a singular track that speaks to the bosses character. Like dragon slayer armor is such a cool sound track for a boss that has zero lore or any meaning behind it.
      Some of the tracks like aldrich, old demon King, and soul of cinder are just remix call backs to ds1 tracks, don't get me wrong, soul of cinders is great, but aldrich track is just gwyndolin's but more creepy, that doesn't tell me much about aldrich himself tho, same with demon King.
      Pontiff sulyvhan, the boss with the most character and relevance only has an awesome 1st phase music, the choir and holiness with a dash of a sinister vibe communicating his character, he is the evil pope after all, but the second phase is just classic kitamura, loud and epic, but doesn't fit with the second phase at all, hes more passive in the second phase once he summons his clone, the fight is more methodical and patient, not chaotic like the music implies.

    The music is not one of them so far in my playthrough, but it IS dynamic and it does blend so well but doesn't stand out. It's just far more orchestral and not flashy however for what it is it's good.

    So, the game really holds back on the sound track until later in the game. Especially when you get into the endgame areas.
    I will say, even knowing what you have to do at the end of the game, the music really sells the environment and the situation you find yourself in. I found myself being more careful, and ever so frightful of every encounter.. especially when the music picks up.
    I think they do a great job with environmental story telling when the tracks assisting. Unless you want to play though the game yourself, search up the alternative main menu music of the game as an example. Be mindful of the spoilers that the videos may contain.
