2024 vgm thoughts #2
happy late thanksgiving i got fucking STUFFED
...with game music thoughts
splatoon 3 — side order
- holy fuck and also shit
- jesus goddamn christ like ok like huh
- i think the splatoon series has some of the most exciting forward-thinking music in games rn, and this is no exception
- it's just so lush and constantly evolving, and sleek as fuck
- listening to souvenir for the first time was transcendental
- blah blah blah listen to this ost stat, easily my fave of this year so far
ffvii rebirth
- so there are 10,000 tracks in this game which is just lovely
- no but actually it's a ton, it's so much, like too much arguably......but a lot of it's pretty cool
- the card game music!! let's just casually put an insane jazz ensemble in there everyone cool with that ok good
- chadley's theme rules
- someone help me with this btw, for the theme of the city of guardia in Loveless (which i LOVE btw)...i swear i've heard it before, am i tripping? is this from the OG game? help???
- bow wow wow bow wow wow
- good dog
duelists of eden
- steel_plus once again creating the most bangin tunes
- a stitch in time is drives at 120mph
princess peach: showtime
- ...yyyyyeeeah it's fine
- figure skating song unironically slaps but otherwise uhhh it's alright ig sorry peach
stellar blade
- OK HERE WE GO
- folks from MONACA and SHIFT UP were in charge of this OST and hooooooly fuck it is gorgeous
- a lot of super polished, super pretty tracks that have a lot of richness and energy
- my only thing would be that after a while, a lot of the songs can sound kinda samey, like repeating chord progressions, instrument layers, stuff like that (it's a massive OST too)
- that being said, all the sung songs are SOOO beautiful, and nearly all the level themes are really detailed
- you could say this OST is s-s-s-s-stellar guhhuhguhh huughuuhuh
- blguhghhggh
