Plenty of the soundtrack is just background noise, it's got a few great songs for sure but essential overall? Hmm

maybe it is objectively "weak" but I just love the sounds it can produce coupled with the amazing sound design that the developers worked on. The newer f zero soundtracks are just not as good

I would argue the Mother 2 soundtrack to be very pivotal and essential in Video game music. It was one of the first games to have a huge abundance of tracks on a cartridge and probably the first to use digital sampling.

snes was the GOAT of vidya music

>>61982431
Your opinion is objectively wrong. GX is 'not as good'? Blow it out your ass, it was the perfect F-Zero game in every single way. I'm not surprised Nintendo doesn't want to try and follow it

>>61982445
I would argue that you are a fucking faggot because everything about the Mother series is awful and your reasoning is so fucking pathetic as well as wrong.
High abundance of shit tracks woooo. And not the first to use digital sampling, go fuck yourself

>>61982491
Nobody will take you seriously when you talk like that. I argued that it was a significant soundtrack and you called me a "fucking faggot". You are everything that is wrong with the internet.

It's not significant though, not at all. It's only significant in the minds of EB fanboys

I treat you this way because the EB fanbase is obnoxious as hell

>>61982491
>it was the perfect F-Zero game in every single way
I never argued that f zero on the snes was a better game, I just like the soundtrack better for that version. you sound mad as fuck, why dont you take a hot bath or something anon :)

Barely any of the tracks from the first F-Zero returned in the later games. It doesn't matter if the sound chip was weak (which it wasn't), the game made the best of it and produced extremely enjoyable music that still sounds good today even if it clearly sounds like SNES music. it's part of what made it good in the first place. Replicating the tracks with F-Zero X' thrash metal style or GX' electronic/metal style would never be the same.

Am I the only one who can not stand most orchestral video games soundtracks? I was quite disappointed when Mass Effect 2 went from the badass sci-fi synth aesthetic in the original and adopted a more orchestral sound.

I'd agree that it's overrated, but it mostly has to do with all the tweens finally getting off the FNAF bandwagon onto another accessible indie game with characters that can be rule34-d to your desire. The game is really fun and heartwarming, and playing it before fucking everybody jumped on the bandwagon was pretty enjoyable.

I'd really recommend listening to Risk of Rain OST, I think you'll probably like it. It's basically synth shoegaze and I suppose isn't far from Yamaoka's stuff.
