87% awesome. Pretty comfy song although not sure why it's a love song in the context of the game from what I know about NiGHTS...

How about something in the spirit of the day?

7/10 I really like the beginning the most, past the 21 second mark it has the standard ZUN-like music to it which is actually kinda impressive for a Touhou fangame.

9/10
I like the rhythm, and that moment the guitars drop is brilliant

 

[InfiniteBakuphoon]

A classic Sonic track for sure, albeit not a personal favorite of mine. Although I never could decide whether or not I liked this song or the one we got in the US better. Ah, oh well; they're both pretty great! 7.5/10.

Slowing things down a bit here:

 

[Tactician Karina]

8/10 the vocal is quite nice, though I wish they added in subtitles. The music (and possibly the song itself) is also a bit more upbeat than what I was expecting tbh, especially going by the title.

Track title is: Grief of Lu Bu

 

[Ryoma Maser]

7/10.

 

[Trainer Gabriel]

9/10 Awesome! Sounds simultaneously foreboding and heroic!

 

[Tactician Karina]

6.5/10 the best part of this track is definitely towards the end, where it has a powerful feel to it which is unfortunately short lived. I think this specific piece is one of Jeremy Soule's weaker works though, and I feel that the music doesn't really fit the title all that much, at least imo.

9/10
I love the techno sounds, and that is a powerful beat.

 

[Tactician Karina]

8/10 I always liked doing the Target Test mode just to hear this track, even if at the time I was very bad at it lol. Such a nostalgic piece though, and the very first beats in the beginning certainly builds up that enthusiastic hype for the rest of the track.

 

[Ryoma Maser]

7.5/10.

 

[Trainer Gabriel]

7/10 Sounds ominous and mysterious to me.

 

[Tactician Karina]

8/10 the tribal-like beats and the chanting are nice, it gives off a feel of a ritual with both the music and the title.

Since a certain thread made me bring up an amazing VN I really enjoy, I'll post yet another track of it this time:

 

[InfiniteBakuphoon]

That gorgeous guitar along with the atmospheric sounds and vocals all make for one truly beautiful piece of music. 8.5/10.

Although Christmas ended quite a while ago at this point, why not have a little last hurrah for the holiday season with this remix of the NiGHTS vocal track that I posted earlier?



メリークリスマス！

Just a real fun vibey song to chill with.

 

[Tactician Karina]

9.5/10 okay that's a really cool song, I really like it because it sounds like a track you'd hear in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. That said, I don't remember this in the game? Of course, it's been a long time since I've played Halo 2 so much of the OST I don't even remember; though part of the beat is somewhat vaguely familiar.

Speaking of MGR: Revengeance, another track from it:

 

[InfiniteBakuphoon]

Something tells me that this game is not one for subtlety, haha. In any case, this ended up being much more kickass than I was expecting, being kind of ridiculous but in the best way possible. 8/10.

How about something smoother as a follow-up?

 

[Ryoma Maser]

10/10-Man, that's way too good.

This is technically three songs in one video and are part of three phases to a boss fight (plus one fight with first one I believe).
Also spoilers for Astral Chain.

6.5/10 I always thought the first phase theme was the best, with the others being a bit mediocre tbh, as I loved how powerful the first theme is. Also, I just wanted to know more about this character and wished her plan was a bit more developed, I think that plays a part in why these themes don't really stick out to me (aside from the first, and even then it's mostly the beat that saves it). That said, I need to find the time to replay Astral Chain again, as majority of it's OST is just great regardless; also the gameplay is really fun too. still sad that the Howard twins weren't in Smash as fighters, maybe next time if they make another Smash game in the future

Because I'm still on a Metal Gear high and I'll be replaying this installment again this weekend, have a track that scared me so much as a kid (along with the eeriness and codec calls during the part this track played... for context). Title is "Arsenal's Guts":

I have no idea what the fuck is happening in the context of this track but I'm fucking terrified.

That said, I don't remember this in the game? Of course, it's been a long time since I've played Halo 2 so much of the OST I don't even remember; though part of the beat is somewhat vaguely familiar.

You may have played the Anniversary Edition with the HD setting? As far as I'm aware the song plays exactly once during a Banshee dogfight sequence, and only on the original graphics setting.
