Eh personally it just doesn't stand out to me. If I have to look it up to remember what it sounds like that's not a good sign. Tri is still unrivaled when it comes to locale themes. What that game did and what I'd like this game to do is make the theme "sound" like the area it represents. The instrument choice in Tri was perfect for this. This theme sounds more like a generic battle theme or maybe something fitting for Doshaguma specifically. It doesn't scream desert to me.
@@Rathadudenearly every MH game, including tri, has its first area’s theme sound “grand” and “bombastic,” while usually incorporating the leitmotif of the game’s main theme. Both this and the Deserted Island theme sound like “battle version of main theme” more than they scream “Lagricrus” or “Doshaguma.” I agree that this isn’t one of the standout themes of the series, but this is a well established trend by now and I don’t think it’s fair to judge the entire game’s soundtrack off the first area. I personally enjoy how it is distinct from other desert themes. I’m very excited to see how wilds handles the music across biomes.
Sent chills down my spine when that part hit when I clashed with a lone doshaguma How can a franchise cook so hard in every aspect from monster design to soundtrack?!?!
Fun fact about Balahara: its eyes are in its mouth. Balahara’s face is similar to a clam’s, which includes its many many eyes. If you look in its mouth after you kill one, you’ll see many small blue dots. Those are its eyes. I love little details like that and I think Balahara is my favorite Wilds monster so far (no spoilers because all I know about the game is what was presented in the beta)
I think Balahara’s design is criminally underrated and should absolutely recieve more love. (Although im a normie and still have Rey crowned as my fav😅)
@@gameblox3892 I agree, Balahara is too underrated to be as cool as it is. Its face and tail are drills and it digs through the ground in a corkscrew motion, what’s not to love?? Also, I realize my original comment is kinda hard to read, I’m sorry lol
That's just the windward plains theme for when you're fighting a singular monster, the video you have as "doshaguma theme" is just the windward plains theme for if you're fighting a pack and chatacabra's theme is just the small monster theme
I imagine each locale will have a different theme to fit the atmosphere, after all they put an unprecedented amount of detail in the environment this time around so it only makes sense to hear different combat themes throughout each zone@@gamingwithzack4503
Do you mean Barioth? There's actually very little mud in the Windward Plains. The Balahara basically eat the sand like worms do to dig through it, and spit it out.

Everyone is talking about Rey’s theme but this is criminally underrated

Not to mention it has gills to expel sand. That detail made me do a double take. Such fine detail to make this creature feel as realistic as possible.
So far the music is PEAK. The black flame theme has me feelin some type of way

You're telling me these are supposed to be "desert area" themes?

@@gamingwithzack4503 yes, even rey dau theme is just the apex version of it
@@SchradeDemise nah
Rey Dau sounds completely different
Damn good base map theme, 0:43 reminds me strangely of world’s phase 2 fatalis theme
Really hypes you up to fight assorted polygons from the PS1 era.
Fantastic!
This is a battle theme I can get behind.
Oh es distinto al que sonaba en el trailer donde los mostraban
Me faltan muchos por subir al parecer
I love World but as a starter map theme, this is soo much better than encient forest theme
This for me was my favorite theme
Hm I wonder why HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Please tell me I am not the only one that hears a bit of Totk's Seized Construct theme at 1:43
EPIC

Ah good another gunlance king
thats not a gunlance
@@pole8740I see now, I did not realize the point of the lance retracted…how disappointing
Gives me Shadow of the Colossus vibes
This place would be great for Barroth

@@TornaitSuperBird Nah, Barroth is correct, barioth is the ice wyvern in iceborne
@@keekee7112 Nah, I was specifically referring to Sand Barioth, the little-known subspecies of Barioth.
this sounds a lot like the world ost-- this is what nobuo uematsu was talking about vg music aiming to be like movies... and missing the mark.
