>the majority of the game's soundtrack is just the main theme remixed
How is this allowed? I would've fired my composer if he/she pulled of this shit
Explain.
It's called a Leitmotif.

Name a game that does this
>>333601094
>>333601576
FFX. Good theme doe.
>>333601094
Name fifteen (15) games that do this.
>>333601576
Super Mario World does this.
You would fire most, if not all of the composers for movies.

How many music pieces does a given movie have?

Majority is really overstating it unless OP has some particular game in mind. When most osts are 1+ hours long that'd be a lot of remixes

It's fucking aces when they remix the same theme over and over again
Every time the opening theme of tales of the abyss gets changed up to fit the scene, or the variations on Yuna's theme between happy times and 'someday the dream will end' gets me good
Nothing will ever top the Shevat part of Xenogears for me though.
Going from the sad Maria's theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0DVN3-o3ro

Super Smash Bros Brawl and 4

Punch-Out
They shouldn't have done it for Wii
Maximo. It's a great game but fuck me does hearing the same theme repeat over and over get boring. Made me like the GnG theme less, too.
It's cool if they compose a completely new melody with a few notes from the main theme in.

More games need to do this shit.

Pacific Rim and Girls Und Panzer drive me fucking nuts because of that.

>They shouldn't have done it for Wii
but that was one of the best things about the game. Disco Kid's version is just too good

Mother 3 (sorta)
His highness and Love theme are always with you in the game, but the variety of song makes you like that time on time you hear the same notes.

Sonic and the secret rings does this even worse by just using the same song for everything rather than even remixing it.
>customise your rauser
>the song that plays is now an inferior remix of the original one
