>this track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkHmZ0tKKww
It's just forgettable & the XCX OST is full of these kind of tracks. He relies on a big bombastic sound because the actual compositions themselves are weak as shit. It's basically Japanese Hans-Zimmer. All the song does is hit into some big bombastic mess of notes over some standard power chords, then just slaps over it a disgusting tin-sounding snare drum to create a generic groove. Even when the bombast lets up at 1:40, it doesn't go into anything interesting; just another weak melody played on the continuing violin over the same generic 4/4 groove where it's just someone hitting that same ugly-sounding snare. It's lazy. Then at 2:29, it does the same thing again, more melodramatic bombast; the same groove; the same god-awful snare drum. The track doesn't go anywhere musically; it doesn't turn any corners. It's just constantly beating you over the head with bombastic melodrama. I really hope Takahashi does away with Sawano for the next game. I'm not gonna lie, there's some tracks I really do like but the majority of it is tacky, cheesy, unsophisticated trash.
Compare it to this track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi0M9SIaLb4
The piano intro is so memorable. Then at 0:25, the snare changes into the rim hit of the snare, demonstrating that there is actual dynamics going on in the music, unlike Sawano's bombastic-turn-everything-up-to-11 style. Throughout the song, even when it goes into different parts, there's a constant theme running through it. Sawano is just bombastic melodrama, that's it. It's the same throughout the whole track. It's the same on this track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fi4_DoVwto
The same groove, the same bombastic big sound, the same god-awful snare, melodies lifted straight out of a Linkin' Park/Evanescence album. The tracks sound like a 12 year old just got bought his first keyboard & drum set. Please kill me.

I'm glad to hear you're not enjoying it, that's what you deserve for being so stupid.
>>324004009
This is for the listeners. Thanks, Sony!
>>324004009
It really irritates me how every field and battle theme has a noticeable start and stop. Those songs should loop seamlessly. Its also really fucking annoying how you can't hear the characters talking over the damn lyrics in cutscenes. Not to mention that most of the lyrics are just stupid in general
>HELLO
>IS THIS THING ON
>I NEED A BIGGER GUN
And then there's the NLA music of course, both themes are absolute garbage. And Uncontrollable isnt even about fighting, its about a couple making up after an argument. Why the fuck would he use those lyrics for the Tyrant song? As retarded as Black Tar is, at least its somewhat about fighting.
I'm not sure what music plays during the Yggralith Zero fight but its probably the worst lyrical track I've heard in any video game.
Sawano doesn't have a clue how to write video game music and I agree he doesn't need to come back for the next Xenoblade game.
>>324005035
While I haven't even played Xenoblade Chronicles X, I agree with OP about Sawano.
>>324005275
If they bring back Mitsuda I can agree with retards like you

>OP's first time hearing a Hiroyuki Sawano OST

The only stupid part of Sawano is how he fucking gives stupid shitty names to all the songs

OP the only one being bombastic in this thread is you.
I thought both were unique.
Music isn't just about what sounds good, it's about fitting the tone of the scene the director is making. XC and XCX are like Fire and Water. They're incredibly different, XC's OST wouldn't fit with XCX.
A lot of XCX's OST gives me a Metal Gear vibe.
>mfw listening to the XCX OST right now
>>324007861
>all these people talking about Mitsuda and Shimomura
They did, like, six tracks on XC. What made that soundtrack so good was that it had a diversity of composers working under the strict direction of someone who knew exactly what he wanted from every aspect of the game.
Sawano is just a hack who was given free reign to do whatever the fuck he wanted.

>>324008064
Who the fuck knows. Songs with vocals in video games can work well when there's just one or two lyrical songs that are memorable. Like Snake Eater for instance. When 75% of the soundtrack is full of dumb sounding engrish with subpar singers, it just gets annoying. On top of that, video game music shouldn't really have a noticeable stop and start point when it loops and thats hard to avoid with vocal tracks.
I like the soundtrack of XCX even more than the soundtrack of XC.

That bombastic part at 13:13 just sounds so ridiculous. It's just so over the top.
>>324008613
it's weird because when that part cues in, nothing really happens in the scene for it to really have any meaning. It almost feels like it's actually composed for a scene from something else entirely.
>>324007449
I remember the XC OST sounding a hell of a lot more compressed in the actual game. Actual that's still the case with XCX, just not to the same extent. I wish we'd get some proper remasters in the future.

i disagree. I love every single thing in this game except for the music to the point where i actually put in headphones if im not doing story missions and listen to some rock or DnB because it actually fits the epic battles.
Fuck the music in this game is so beyond terrible it ALMOST ruined a 9/10 game and turned it into a 8/10
this guy is a fucking hack. i swear, i can't like any of his work. I've listened to aldnoah zero, kill la kill, nanatsu no taizai and xcx.
his music is so generic, robotic and emotionless, he seems to do everything on the computer which i despise.
definitely the worst composer i've seen
I wouldn't say XBCX's music is horrible. It's serviceable enough, but for me, XBC just had a much more memorable score.
Colony 9 pops up in my head as soon as I think of the game. X doesn't have a particular tune or two that jumps out at me
>>324005035
>>324005507
Not OP, but Sawano should hold off a bit. Between Aldnoha Zero, Shingeki no Kiojin and Xenoblade chronicles X, after doing more or less the same, his signature may getting old. He must take some time to renew his way of composing. I loved his shingeki no Kiojin soundtrack but I'm getting tired of his artistic lazyness.
Basically Sawano is the nu-metal/scuzz/Kerrang composer of anime/video games. I also hate the production of his songs.
We need music like this back in Xeno. Sawano cant even touch shit like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV-j7elCiE4
>>324006367
He's either phenomenal or repetitive. Either Purates or NolanBats. There's like, no inbeteeen with that guy.
>>324015062
and this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rztj4vu_wA
I agree with the Japanese Hans Zimmer line. A lot of his songs have very similar sounds and styles to them to the point that you could replace one with the other without much change.
Melancholia on the squad select screen sounds hilariously similar to Aliez from A/Z in structure and even vocals.
Just like some of Zimmer's songs sound like homages to his previous work. Cyclotone/Retreat & Reveille/Mombasa have always felt like riffs on the same theme.
>>324013363
I would drink it
However you feel about the soundtrack.
Can we all admit that the NLA tracks probably weren't the best choice possible considering how much you're going to be hearing them?

Agreed OP, the OST on XCX is shit. The first Xenoblade had a great OST, so many comfy songs.

>>324028571

Or are the type of kiddo you can't play games with "old" graphics?
Sawano best work was on the Sengoku Basara anime.
>>324029176

Yeah I'm listening to it again and I really like it.
Not a huge fan of the vocals, but Time's Scar was good. Also this Wind Scene is GOAT.
>>324029609
Hi Sawano
>>324029176
While Xenoegars is wholly his style and absolutely wondrous it's CT that hit's a perfect 100 out of 100. It's pure emotion with no fluff done by arguably the two best vidya composers that have ever walked this earth in the early phases of their careers.
Yeah go finish Xenogears
What I get from the posters here is that if someone good makes something shitty, it'd still be good despite being actual shit.
Same reason why Pixar movies that are crappy gets free pass I guess.
>>324029649
You just proved my point though - those arranged albums are from old compositions still.
There's a reason why you don't hear the basic battle theme in XC among the usual "arranged" music in XC, because those were the only good tunes in XC (although personally I am not a big fan of Mechanical Rhythm).

Yes, It was called having taste.
Since your differs from my own it is certainly objectively wrong and therefore and obligated to instruct you to immediately kill yourself, preferably in a painful way such as self immolation or suffocation.

>>324029703
Glad to hear that anon. Wind Scene, Schala's Theme, The Bend of Time, and On the Other Side are my favorite from that album.
>>324029813
Anon, if you were actually lisren the albums then you would know that many of the songs are entirely new compositions.
Also the battle scenes for Xenogears have been on the arranged albums and they sound epic.
>>324030083
Muh nigga.
>>324030310
Sawano go to sleep
>>324030370
No, they missed having taste, not having bad taste you moron.
>>324030023
it's funny too
they use unrelated games composed by the same composer as a means to say that the other game is of good quality
>>324030389
and yet only the old songs were actually quite more memorable because they were well done
and why do you keep on bringing old games when talking about XB? you're just proving my point on how XB's OST is subpar
>tfw you'll never fly around to music like this again

An Obstacle In Our Way was better
>>324030023
No, the good songs like CODENAMEZ, THEMEX and The key we've lost (I think that's what it's called) are hidden and tucked away, only being played once while the shitty NLA and battle music is played 99% of the game.
The game has a good OST but unfortunately the shit songs are played the most often.
>>324030508
last I checked the field themes and flight music are played a lot
>>324004009
You'll get a lot of shit from this pleb board OP and nintenyearolds but they are most likely not familiar with how often Sawano reuses the same shitty tracks. They have most likely not even watched 20 whole animes(not including movies) so the are not familiar with his work on blue exorcist.
>>324030472
God I loved anytime that track started up.

Have you faggots ever composed anything? Yeah fucking thought so, filthy plebs.
>>324030464
Okay anon, I'll stop replying to you because clearly you just want to shit post about songs and albums you have never even heard for games you've never played.
>>324007662
Not fair Gaur Plains is too good.
>>324030781
>shitposts
except I agree to you that XG and CT and CC have amazing music, and his arrangement are mostly good
what I AM criticizing is you needing to bring up old works just to say an unrelated game has good music
Can we fuck off about music and story for once.
NX has shoulder wheels. XCX's combat literally is suited for shoulder wheel
Left stick to control, Right stick for camera, right shoulder wheel to select arts.
XCX combat would feel fucking smooth id the dpad was on the right, but a shoulder wheel would seriously take the cake.
Also imagine not having to press a stiff d-pad to scroll a menu, but instead have an actual mouse wheel.
Who's ready to get comfy?

>>324030724
All you should have to do is rely on your ears to tell Sawano is trash but your low intelligence seems to get in the way.
>>324030950
I'd argue it isn't that much needed since you're sorta in a "pseudo" real time game

I'm noticing XCfags are salty because their game isn't discussed anymore
So much butthurt in this thread.
Funny how some people are mad that only one talentious composer was able to surpass a team of multiple composer. XC's OST isn't bad nut nowhere near as good as XCX's OST. It has a handful of good tracks drowned in a sea of "how to make generic JRPG music 101" tracks. On the other hand XCX is the most ambitious OST that was composed for a JRPG. It's full of diverse and enchanting sounds and melodies. Nothing will ever surpass Sylvalum's night theme.

>>324031313
No I agree your control set up is good, I just feel like it isn't direly needed

except XC threads has seen a resurgence after XCX came out so inferior.
>>324028338
I love these drones who pretend to know what they're talking about
Lets take a minute and count how many worthwhile quests exist in XC, outside of main story.
Nopon Drug quest
that's it.
OP sounds like a fucking faggot and needs to "bombast" his house to rid us of his gay shit.
>>324031401
>resurgence
shitposting on XCX threads doesn't make those threads as XC
>>324031405
Pretty sure that's a thing. It's a reason why you don't have Rival Schools in PSN, for instance.

>>324031476
Sawano get out
>>324031549
You know what, I'll be serious.
What makes that bad exactly? NLA theme isn't really offending at all. Hell, it's one of those music that fits perfectly in the game. So I'm exactly not seeing why NLA theme is considered "bad music".
>>324007183
>not having a volume slider is fucking unforgivable
Holy shit, this. I was wearing headphones and even then the music overpowered the voices way too frequently.
>>324005690
The Tyrandt song isn't bad tho, it's the only battle theme I actually like.
Oh and another one used very rarely on story missions.
>>324031463
how many main characters in XCX do we care about?
>Elma
>>324031703
Now this is criticism I agree on. I wonder what made them forget that. You'd think with all of the options available, you'd have an audio slider.
>>324031754
>not caring about Phog and Frye
>nor L
>nor Hope
>nor the NPCs in those missions
>>324031754
Don't forget Nagi, he's cool too.
But yeah, fuck the rest of them.
>>324031684
>So I'm exactly not seeing why NLA theme is considered "bad music".

>he can't express his opinion properly so he relies on animation
>and even then the animation doesn't even say why
>>324014537
he's a very competent composer in his style, it's not his fault that everyone wants to hire him and people get sick of it. I think the XC soundtrack is better than the bulk of his work but it's hardly a major step-down in quality between that and XCX's.
>>324031823
>main characters

>>324032108
hey by that logic only Shulk and Fiora were the only main characters
>>324032136
well I dunno about me, but you certainly aren't
I'm still waiting as to why NLA city theme is bad
>>324031754
I like Nagi, Phog, Frye, Hope, L and probably Celica.
I want tofuck/be fucked by daddy Vandham

Fuck Boze.
>>324005690
It's still a good song though
>tfw they go with a Mitsuda + Go Shiina combo for the next game
>>324032207
No, you see Shulk and Fiora showed up in actual story missions and had dialogue outside their specific affinity missions.
>>324004009
Sawano is a good composer, he's just bad at understanding the context the music will be used in. He writes music for the sale of writing music.
>>324031242
>>324031391
>>324031280
Reaction faces are not valid answers.
>>324031401
Actually it seems you need to make a shitpost thread for XCX for XC to be discussed, since if it's a usual XCX thread, the shitposting is ignored.
Hey at least Shulk is in Smash!
>>324032145
Dunban 2.0
>>324032367
And so did the other characters in XC but are you seriously telling me Sharla is important? Reyn? Riki? Hell even Dunban? Only Shulk and Fiora remain relevant throughout the game.
>>324032441
>Dunban
fuck of XCfag, it's Jin Uzuki 2.0
>>324032558
its actually citan 4.0
XCX OST is trash compared to XC
prove me wrong
Hey I remember this thread!
Where is the part where someone says Arts are disabled when B is being prompted?
>>324032668
sylvalum night theme
>>324032056
Sure he is competent, but when you can know with two notes that it is one of his works it is as much of a boon as a bane. His work on shingeki no Kiojin is mind blowing, but having 2-3 soundtracks extremely similar can only hurt him on the long run. He needs another trick/ vibe to stay fresh.
>>324032558
There's a difference between having varying levels of importance throughout the story, and literally no importance whatsoever at any point.
>>324032323
>Go Shiina
My nigga. Mitsuda is my favorite vidya composer, but Go Shiina is underrated as hell. Tales of Legendia has one of my favorite vidya soundtracks.

The game is so close to being 10/10, but it has so many little flaws. A damn shame.
>>324032668
This is true. I literally cannot prove you wrong.
>>324032772
With how the other characters are handled in XC you might as well turn them into affinity missions and nothing would change.
If you like Xenogears you hate Xenosaga
If you like Xenosage you hate Xenoblade
If you like Xenoblade you hate Xenoblade X
It's not hard folks.
