Song motif in video games

Because janitors are trigger happy when it comes to the Undertale logo and they're too lazy to read even the OP

Riven had the main antagonist's theme peppered throughout the world, but the movement was only completed once you entered his own personal realm at the end of the game.

It helped signify the control he had over the plane, while at the same time not actually shoving it in your face. You felt it, rather than seeing it.

wtf do i even do with this

The arrow means that a motif is carried over from one song to another. It's story relevant so it has a pretty profound effect when you hear it.
Original song ----> Influenced song
e.g. "Hopes and Dreams" has parts of all the songs pointing towards it.

I didn't notice it at first, but the familiarity was at the back of my mind, and I suppose it's the same for every player. Cool right?

>>322918862
That's fucking awesome

half of wind waker's ost is like this. I love it but I wish it borrowed from games other than OoT

I wish The Elder Scrolls kept this tune

It really inspires adventure.

I suppose what we have is good enough:

I've only played a tiny bit of TES but this theme still gets me excited.

>>322918235

DKC2 was full of this kind of stuff but I can't be assed to find examples.

bravely default

the final boss has a segment in which the theme of each character plays, it's a very powerful moment

very nice

going crazy with motifs isnt anything new. that image is just an average day of a composers life.

Pretty much every song in Banjo Kazooie, Tooie and DK64. Fucking lazy-ass Kirkhope and his xylophone fetish.

In theatre maybe
In vidya it's a semi rarity

>>322919527
Which is why it's best LoZ

Might not count but the area themes in Majora's Mask are the same but with different instrumentation
