>"I hope more and more people perceive this soundtrack

Tabata was wrong on all counts.

Tabata is a generational hypocrite bent on dissecting the teenage ideology into little pieces.

I can't remember any music from the soundtrack and I just played through the game last week.

Wanderlust

Yeah, I legitimately can't remember a single track. Weird, that. I guess it was as bland and mediocre as everything else in the game. Shame it did so well, would have been nice having it flop, forcing SE to maybe rethink their path toward western lukewarm mediocrity that sells gangbusters to mouth breathers calling it the best whatever genre game ever made.

Meanwhile, just naming the zone of somewhere in FFXI will instantly play the music in my head. Like Rolanberry Fields. Just, boom, https://youtu.be/yUWw0qpwmqE in my head.

The original soundtrack is amazing. too bad they're insecure as fuck and ruined it by buying in shitty covers of american songs

>>389786209
That's because it's an MMO you spent hundreds of hours in and pretended to enjoy.

>>389786409
I can do the same for IV, V, VI, VII, some of VIII, and IX.

Check it out. Cosmo Canyon. Don't pretend you didn't hear it.

Whatever no name did this soundtrack does not even hold a candle to Uematsu's work in FF4-10.

Anyone can make epic orchestral music to hype you up. It takes a god to create the type of hype music that Uematsu did.

As an example, The Extreme.

What genre would this even be classified as? Electrorchestra?

There's like one song in this game that's memorable to me. The fact that I spent the majority of the game listening to tracks from older FFs speaks volumes about the game's soundtrack. Honestly I'd say the mere fact they included the option to listen to older songs during regular gameplay in the first place shows even SE knew how bland it was.

>>389784692
God no, it's one of the worst.

Is this supposed to be good? This is on par with the most generic and well-known Two Steps From Hell songs.

It was good but forgettable, barring the original Nomura-era theme song and the cringy Stand By Me. World of FF and FFXIV shine far brighter. Hell, 13-2 and 13:LR were great too.

There are song with soul, but they are too few and far between and quite frankly belonged to a different game.

More like a fraction. The entire soundtrack has over 90 songs on it and I can only remember those few and Stand Your Ground.

The irony is that this theme is infinitely superior too. Thanks for posting. It's comfy as fuck.

Just because you play a game for hundreds of hours doesn't make it super good by default.

Variety doesn't mean quality

>>389784692
XV has by far the most forgettable soundtrack in the series. There's exactly 1 piece of music in the entire game that caught my attention at all, and that's the first 30 seconds or so of the ambient music that will play during mornings outside. That's it.

Everything else was boring at best, and just fucking awful at worst.

>>389798142
I think the MMOs, XII, most of XIII trilogy, and even early FF music had a lot more forgettable tracks.

>>389798134
>If you're going to post shit from Alex don't forget the best one.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IiOzi05IlA

fuck, I thought I did.

>>389798136
too bad XV lacks both in the OST department

Honestly, the biggest problem is not FFXV's soundtrack itself, but the game's lack of memorable or emotionally-charged scenes. No one is going to give a fuck about the Ifrit boss fight or the town cities a few months after playing because those parts themselves were pretty forgettable.

They also didn't know HOW to use the songs they had either. Playing Somnus the way they did in Lucis before the final battle was absolutely abhorrent.

>>389784692
the only good osts were the ones that were made for years in the VS trailers, etc.
