    Idk wtf happened, but the stars aligned and really talented people all somehow grouped up and made a masterpiece.

    The man is an actual genius, I can’t believe how varied the OST is, from operatic, to jazz, etc, every track just works. He is at the same level of genius we all felt about Mick Gordon on his Doom OSTs, and maybe better. I know I’m dealing with recency bias, but this is one of my favorite games of all time already, and probably my #1 for OST.

      I’m drunk on recency bias myself but I’m tempted to put him in Uematsu tier myself. I know that sounds outrageous but it’s actually that good. Even the lyrics are absolutely amazing. It will probably end up being my favourite OST of all time.

      And there’s 8 fucking hours of it and not a single weak track!?

        I just started the game last night. Holy shit that opening prologue was incredible, and the music did so much for the atmosphere of loss/melancholy.

          It somehow just keeps getting better too. Super strong leitmotif work as well, throughout the game. And like I mentioned, even if you don’t speak french try looking up translations for the lyrics (but after you finished the game). Some really beautiful passages, but steeped in foreshadowing and spoilers.

            Yeah I’m French, and during the game there are several moments where I’m hearing part of some lyrics where I’m “wait a second, is the music actually spoiling the plot?”

              I wish I hadn’t fumbled my french fluency over the past decade and a half as I still had to go back multiple times and re-listen and read the lyrics to understand them. And also the male singer on the OST sounds like he’s not a native french speaker so that makes it even harder to pick out.

              But yeah, maybe it was for the best that I didn’t understand right away in the end!

    Honestly, their soundtrack is the best one I’ve heard in all of gaming. That whole game is amazing.

    I’ve had the soundtrack on loop for weeks. Every piece just feels right for the part of the game and the vocals are just spectacular.

    Humble beginnings! I hope he continues to make many more soundtracks. I loved all the music in the game. It felt so right.

      I found that too. The animations are misleading - just listen for when you need to press the buttons.
