Po_Bat clarified after editing that this was Canto 4. Honestly had I realized earlier my commentary would have been pretty different, but only in a comparative way for the other Canto themes so imo it's kind of a blessing in disguise having the lack of comparison so I looked at it as a standalone track. Still my favorite theme from LC so far Edit: LimCusBumpany
THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO THIS OST!!! This is one of my favorite themes too!! It's been a year since Canto 4 came out and there's been so much more good music from this game, but yeah, the tone of the song always brings me back. The violin swell and the little details (the laughing kids, AOUGH) always gets me. I love that your commentary so much! Your comments on the little details are spot on. The fact that you managed to pick up on the "i want to go back" energy too, which is on point, because the character this theme is written for literally embodies that mindset (she runs a terrorist group that aims to destroy modern technology to return to "better times". It's more meaningful in context.) Since you're interested in more cinematic OSTs, maybe you can check out some of the story OSTs! They show up during the visual novel/story section of the game and expands the game's soundscape imo. Some notable ones from Canto 4 (and my favourites): Reminiscence (the chapter's token ost, the violin swell is SO PRETTY), Dongbaek (first appearance of nostalgia lady), and Spring Story Theme, Summer Story Theme, Autumn Story Theme, We'd Lost Our Winter (each is its own track, in seperate parts of the canto, but it's relatively short (±40 seconds) and better listened as a set i think) Alternatively, since we're already backtracking, Canto 3 is short enough to have 3 story soundtracks: Sinclair Story Theme 1 and 2, Sinclair Town Story Theme. They run longer than the previous ones (±2 mins), but is still very good! (Theme 2 is a personal fav :D) and is also interesting in context (this is the Canto with Between Two Worlds) Anyways, please don't be shy and yap some more! We love hearing your thoughts on the OSTs. That what these videos are for after all!
Honestly this song is probably responsible for one of the most beautiful and awe inducing moments in the game, excluding the ones that use Mili's works. God I love the themes of canto 4 so much.
Do you want to know a fun fact about the theme? Dongbaek (meaning "Camelia") is the both the name of the song (confirmed by the Studio EIM upload of the theme) and the boss you fight, who is a stand-in for Gim Yujeong, a real life poet and member of the "The Circle of Nine", a group of writers that lived during the japanese ocupation of Korea that wasn't the fun fact... the fun fact is that this beautiful theme... belongs to the (in-game) founder and head of a terrorist organization called the "Technology Liberation Alliance" and no, they aren't a weird cult that worships technology... as some other comment said, they basically want to retur to a time before technology... and while the terrorist organization as a whole thinks that this is to live a better life in purity... the real reason Dongbaek founded the organization was to push a big re-start button on tech development, erase everything... only to allow the next generations to create those technologies once again, from scratch, and to be able to harbor the wonder of discovery and creation so... does this theme sounds like the leader of a terrorist organization to you?
@@LegenDUS2 It’s both. She is named after a story by Kim Yu-jeong, 동백꽃 (which is called Camellia flowers in English). It's essentially a play on words as both spicebush and camellia were used to be called dongbaek because they had a similar usage
Dongbaek's EGO theme is, if i'm remembering correctly, the 2nd time Studio EIM made a track for someone who realized and Effloresced their EGO, turning their mind and mental state into a honed weapon, armor, and at times, even creating it's own environment around themself (lovingly referred to a "domain expansion" and what you see in the background of the video) The character Dongbaek is incredibly weighed down by the past as you percieved, wanting to destroy the fruit that bore the sins that caused her found family to be shattered apart in a desperate attempt to close the wounds it caused. Studio EIM put their heart and soul into this track and made something absolutely worthy of the lore, as part of the whole mechanic in-lore regarding this state, EGO Efflorescence, is that it's the purest, deepest desire of the person, unrestricted by any bounds and for all to experience. You can see their will, feel their passion, smell the pungent scent of the Spicebush... and hear her emotions clear as day though her own theme
@@angela-2-4 Dongbaek's Domain Expansion encompasses a 158 ft radius around the caster. When the barrier is sealed, countless spicebush plants will bloom around the victims and the barrier will take the appearance of a crystal clear sky. After approximately four seconds, the domain will become complete. Unlike others, Divine Blooming does not launch an up-front attack against the victim immediately. Instead, once Dongbaek inflicts a number of hits on the victim, they will be ensnared in a spicebush plant. Only then can the can't miss attack activate. This consists of Dongbaek raising her fan to release Culminating Fragrance, a massive shower of flower petals spanning the entire area of the domain. This attack will immediately exorcise any cursed spirits or sorcerors trapped in spicebush. As a result, it is advised not to attack Dongbaek carelessly as even a few small blows can trigger the can't miss attack, leading to your demise.
IT HAS BEEN A WHILE, I MAKE MY RETURN... I REQUEST ONCE AGAIN... THE REVERBERATION ENSEMBLE... ALL 4 IN ONE, 12 MINUTES OF PURE ENJOYMENT... LETS TRY AND GET HIM TO LISTEN TO IT...
Still gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it. This is one of the most impactful moments in Limbus, and you perfectly analyzed everything the track does to evoke exactly that, down to the most minute details.
To summarize the story this song is for a boss who's wish is to go back to before they had discovered all the technologies and to re-experience the time where they were simply creating to create before it was corrupted by more selfish desires. When her mentality was broken down fundamentally, her selfishness and pure will made her build herself back up, causing her to manifest E.G.O.
She's also a terrorist who's not shy of causing lots of civilian casualties, hiding her true goals from terrorist cell she created and using and tossing her own men for her own goal as they were nothing.
I've been waiting for this one! This track is indeed a boss theme, and my favorite, but is meant to come in as a bit of a surprise-- it's an interruption that overrides "Canto IV Battle Theme C1", which really highlights the emotional intensity. The moment accompanies a dramatic background change in-game, as well. You certainly nailed the big emotional themes in play, genuinely a heartbreaking fight.
This is a character's theme, her name is Dongbaek. She's a boss and this plays when she awakens to her E.G.O, which is themed on "getting rid of technology to go back to the natural state"
welllll, its actually the corrosion due to her ego equipment, not her own inherent ego. more focused on the idea of becoming obsessed with the thrill and joy of discovery, that tantalizing "what if". the nature of feeling something for the first time, untainted by the reality of what will eventually happen. thats what the EGO equipment/originating abnormality itself represents anyway.
@@StuHol-jb1hh Did I miss something about this being a corrosion as opposed to her personal E.G.O.? Literally every other person I've heard talk about it calls it "her" E.G.O. and the name during the fight includes "Effloresced E.G.O" as opposed to "Lobotomy E.G.O." which is used by other enemies and IDs based off of those enemies, including Sunshower. She also talks to "seemingly no one"(though from context we know who she is talking to) before the E.G.O. appears, suggesting that it could have become a distortion instead if she didn't have a strong enough will. I'm also unaware of any abnormality the E.G.O. would be based on.
@@StuHol-jb1hh It's not a corrosion, it is in fact her personal EGO. The EGO gear she was wearing is Drifting Fox's, Spicebush however is explicitly related to Donbaek's work "The Camellias" and her own character. It's very much an expression of her nostalgia and longing for the past
A little detail on the song in game is that is the first turn or two of the fight it’s playing the same hard techno violence of the previous fight with this character, before she sweeps the background and music away and replaced it with the garden you see in the background, and this song kicks in You’ve tensed up for a violent clash and then this song melts that feeling away
Man, I'm always so impressed by how ON POINT your thoughts on the songs are! The feelings evoked by the song, that you described, are pretty much spot-on for what the boss's motives and feelings are.
I love he pronounced the name as “Dung Beak”. Anyways the theme is supposed to give the sense of reminiscing about simpler times, but time is being cruel and separating friends. Dongbaek misses older days with her group, and is trying to force them to get back together, while also trying to drag down those who are trying to move on. Because of this she eventually manifests her own EGO called “Spicebush”, which traps people into a calm and serene prison of flowers. A lot of the music in this chapter is somber and has hints of sadness because the entire chapter is an allegory and look into one of the main character’s depression.
Ah yes, one of the bgms that makes Canto IV so emotional. This time your guess was kind off, since this was actually a boss theme. Imagine hearing this while actually fighting your old friend who had different view of the thing you both passionate with, just to progress to fight another old friend with Mili song, Fly My Wings, in the end. The emotional trigger and story of this Canto was truly an IDEAL
a lot of this sounds like it would play when exploring a place of wonder, but the somber bits with the laughing voices in the background gives more a feeling of reminiscence and longing for the past
This is still my favourite theme in the entire game. It comes out of nowhere too. There are many amazing songs in Limbus but this is the one that I return to every once in a while just to listen in the background.
4-48 is one of the most legendary moments in Limbus Company still, marking the first difficulty spike, READING COMPREHENSION, a unique mid-fight CG (Dongbaek activating the special ability of her EGO), the soundtrack, the way the K Corp generic fight theme transitions into it.
This theme hurts so much for no reason and i don’t why. I relate way too much to dongbaek and i don’t know why. I don’t know why but i love it. Bwaaaaa
Saame I think she's highly relatable in her perhaps childish nostalgia for simpler, more innocent times. Before the world corrupted everything that is good. But she is also selfless, while being completely selfish, about it. She doesn't want this world for herself, she's completely and utterly willing to wither away in the process of making it. Only so the next generation would get to experience the joy and wonder of discovering something wonderful for the very first time. And maybe, as it goes unspoken in the game, but heavily, heavily implied... ... so that generation would have another chance to make things right, and keep their discovery from turning into what Dongbaek eventually rebelled against.
"We wanted to fly into the sky, but our feet never touched the ground again." One of the reasons why this music is striking is that the intro starts with canto IV battle C1, this is because the singularity in the background goes crazy and draws the attention of our entire team, then dongbaek starts this music with a great cinematic, drawing all their attention. In general, the themes of limbus are as follows. Canto-1 War and tragedy Canto-2 Mexicans and gambling Canto-3 Heretics and inquisitors Canto-4 Memories and technologies Canto-5 WHTE WHALE HOLY GRAIL Canto-6 Bloodborne ft. Wuthering Heights You're probably following a wishlist, Cath, if it's not on the list, my suggestions are; We should definitely go to Whitenight for Library of Ruina. You had to listen to Angela for that, and you did You can go to Canto IV boss 2 without cooling down for limbus because it is connected, or let's take a look at Canto VI if you want, connected osts; Boss1 - Boss2 - Boss3- Boss4 (you heard this), Battle D and Battle F
So glad you’re getting into some of the non-Mili tracks. Some of the Canto VI tracks are absolutely amazing for setting the stage on the reveal of powerful enemies
I suggest you look at "Dungeon Battle Medley - Canto IV" Video by Admiral Crunch as a whole, the video is 30 min long because is a mix of 8 soundtrack from Canto 4 to form a medley from it. And is definitely cinematic like the one you have just heard. just to note if you want to react to the video i suggested, the first part of the video is actually the one you have just listen in this video, so you can either skip it or react to it again as a whole part of the medley. But if you think 30 min is to long for your video format, then i get it that you don't want to do a reaction to it. Oh and i think each soundtrack is loop atleast 2 time, so yea that's why is 30 min long.
When the mind is being pushed to the brink, where you will be on the edge of suffering... Facing the Sins you bear and the consequences it may bring, you can manifest and hone your mind and mental to a weapon and gear. A manifestation of your E.G.O.
Wild this one was sent to you with such an unassuming, random filename title, and that it's not AS popular, considering it makes me more emotional than anything else Studio EIM has cooked up for Project Moon games
The funny thing is that is actually the boss I am stuck on right now. I only have two Identities at the right level. One is a maxed out W Corp Heathcliff. The other is a near maxed Outis. I have no egos.
Base EGO is, for the most part, all you really need for a long time. If you have any friends, you may want to tag in a friend's support unit for an extra hand. Other than that, take a step backwards and rethink your team compisition. see if you can get some more Envy and Lust onto your team such that you can have Heathcliff's Bodysack ready at a moment's notice, even early in the fight. same with Sloth and Pride for Outis instead, To Pathos Mathos' 20 floor makes it one of the cheapest, most consistant EGO in the game. Another thing you could try is to go in with 1-2 less units than nessissary, as when you go in with a smaller party than the game expects, it will give a 2nd skill slot to your first few units in the selection menu, allowing you to attack with the units that ARE leveled more
You have no idea how much I would watch a gaming channel of yours where you play through games whose music you've covered to get context on it yourself.
It's a good time to return to the OST of older Limbus chapters, we have at least 6 weeks of nostalgia before diving into the absolute hype of Canto VII
Far and away my favorite piece of music out of Project Moon as a whole, glad you got to listen to it. I'd never heard a song so evocative of nostalgia before.
И это ещё мнение без учёта перехода от первой фазы боя, где постиндустриальная атмосфера и электронная музыка движением веера сдувается и сменяется основной оркестровой темой. Этот контраст удваивает ощущения и полностью передаёт тему сюжета.
most songs i cover probably have official uploads but when it's the patreon queue I don't go looking in case there are differences between them. Better safe than sorry using the exact link provided
Clocks have a lot of meaning in LCB There are recurring themes of time with Dante who literally has a clock face and how a lot of characters are stuck in the past So for Dongbaek it was that she can't stop time, its always ticking forward and she can't go back to that past that she wanted so dearly and because of that we are in conflict. So if you ever hear a clock ticking in the songs, it usually means ties to those themes
How the hell does this man always get the plot for the ost so perfectly to the point that im not even sure if he actually doesn't know the story of the game
Let us return to the past, to a paradise before the world was corrupted by technology. A uropia of beautiful hillsides dotted by golden camellias emitting a spicy floral scent
Dong-baek. This is a desperate dream of on who, craving to return to the peaks of happiness once experienced, descended to extremism to fill her broken heart. And as she realized it, she searched the depths of it - and found what TRULY is her wish. It's also a theme of one who wants the return of the joy once gone so much, she'd be willing to give up herself for it. And the incoming, looming realization, that we're breaking this dream, turn by turn, as it fades away into petals on the wind. The time has been gone. The vibrant spice bush flowers are gone, leaving only the scent behind.
Has there been reaction to "Leviathan" (canto VI battle theme E if I recall correctly)? I can't seem to find it in the playlist, but vaugely recall it being there. Oh well, probably mixed it up with something else.
About the cinematic build up in Library of Ruina, you already heard one in Limbus that functioned like it. It is Between Two World, where Realm of Light builds up to Realm of Darkness.
Technically all of Mili’s songs work like that, it’s just that Fly My Wings, Compass, and Through Patches of Violet all have multiple steps as opposed to Between two Worlds which only had one big leap.
I think you should definitely listen to Canto VI - Boss 3, 4, and 5. All three are very pivotal turning points in the involved character's story, and I'd love to see if you'll guess what happens in there :)
Hope that one day you'll do a video about the full reverbration ensemble ost from library of ruina, in my opinion the best musical experience i had in that game.
Hmm if you want tone setters in this game i can give you two for each canto (from canto 3) one calm the other setting stakes Canto 3:Sinclair Theme1/Sinclair Town story Canto 4: Reminisance (full version)/Destroyed Lab Canto 5:Deep Cold Sea/Overwhelming Canto 6: Distorted Dream/Lone wolf .
My favourite theme from LC that isn’t Mili. But the lack of vocals enhances the soulfulness in my opinion. Which, not that it would’ve been bad with vocals. But it just feels so evoking without them, so nostalgic, so harrowing, so beautiful. Tinted with the petrichor of regret, and the desire for hope. I really love this theme; and the writing association with the character associated with it.
No way you finally got spicebushed... This is my favorite non vocal boss theme in the game, the whole meaning behind it is the character this belongs to, dongbaek, finally realizing and accepting that she enacted a whole terrorist group based on her masked nostalgia and yearning for her past with her ex-partners inventors. She ends up just manifesting EGO and wanting to crush her old friend's career and planting the seeds of her past for future generations to find it and have the same wonder she had. I just really love her discourse of "i'll bury it... deep in the sand... so others may discover it"
dongbaek was rather fond of fireworks. and so am i rather fond of her boss theme, canto 4 my favorite canto story and music wise (literally cannot understate how much i love distorted dongrangs theme along with this, god damn.)
Po_Bat clarified after editing that this was Canto 4. Honestly had I realized earlier my commentary would have been pretty different, but only in a comparative way for the other Canto themes so imo it's kind of a blessing in disguise having the lack of comparison so I looked at it as a standalone track.

Better to use LCB as LC usually used for Lobotomy Corporation
Play Limbus Company
I highly recommend it.
LC/LobCorp = Lobotomy Corporation
LoR/Ruina = Library of Ruina
LCB/Limbus = Limbus Company

THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO THIS OST!!!
This is one of my favorite themes too!! It's been a year since Canto 4 came out and there's been so much more good music from this game, but yeah, the tone of the song always brings me back. The violin swell and the little details (the laughing kids, AOUGH) always gets me.

Anyways, please don't be shy and yap some more! We love hearing your thoughts on the OSTs. That what these videos are for after all!
Hmm if you want heartwarming song from Project moon, you should try 'Sun and moon' and 'You are a giant'
"Nice Clock" - that's a great phrase considering Dante
Blushed in tick tock
Also, the relation between Dongbaek and TCorp
Hey! Nice C-….erm Clock!

Dongbaek (meaning "Camelia") is the both the name of the song (confirmed by the Studio EIM upload of the theme) and the boss you fight, who is a stand-in for Gim Yujeong, a real life poet and member of the "The Circle of Nine", a group of writers that lived during the japanese ocupation of Korea
that wasn't the fun fact... the fun fact is that this beautiful theme... belongs to the (in-game) founder and head of a terrorist organization called the "Technology Liberation Alliance"
and no, they aren't a weird cult that worships technology... as some other comment said, they basically want to retur to a time before technology... and while the terrorist organization as a whole thinks that this is to live a better life in purity... the real reason Dongbaek founded the organization was to push a big re-start button on tech development, erase everything... only to allow the next generations to create those technologies once again, from scratch, and to be able to harbor the wonder of discovery and creation

"We wanted to fly into the sky, but our feet never touched the ground again."
One of the reasons why this music is striking is that the intro starts with canto IV battle C1, this is because the singularity in the background goes crazy and draws the attention of our entire team, then dongbaek starts this music with a great cinematic, drawing all their attention. In general, the themes of limbus are as follows.
Canto-1 War and tragedy
Canto-2 Mexicans and gambling
Canto-3 Heretics and inquisitors
Canto-4 Memories and technologies
Canto-5 WHTE WHALE HOLY GRAIL
Canto-6 Bloodborne ft. Wuthering Heights
You're probably following a wishlist, Cath, if it's not on the list, my suggestions are;
We should definitely go to Whitenight for Library of Ruina. You had to listen to Angela for that, and you did
You can go to Canto IV boss 2 without cooling down for limbus because it is connected, or let's take a look at Canto VI if you want, connected osts; Boss1 - Boss2 - Boss3- Boss4 (you heard this), Battle D and Battle F
So glad you’re getting into some of the non-Mili tracks. Some of the Canto VI tracks are absolutely amazing for setting the stage on the reveal of powerful enemies
YEAAAAH DONGBAEK THEME MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!!!
I suggest you look at "Dungeon Battle Medley - Canto IV" Video by Admiral Crunch as a whole, the video is 30 min long because is a mix of 8 soundtrack from Canto 4 to form a medley from it. And is definitely cinematic like the one you have just heard. just to note if you want to react to the video i suggested, the first part of the video is actually the one you have just listen in this video, so you can either skip it or react to it again as a whole part of the medley. But if you think 30 min is to long for your video format, then i get it that you don't want to do a reaction to it. Oh and i think each soundtrack is loop atleast 2 time, so yea that's why is 30 min long.
When the mind is being pushed to the brink, where you will be on the edge of suffering...
Facing the Sins you bear and the consequences it may bring, you can manifest and hone your mind and mental to a weapon and gear.
A manifestation of your E.G.O.
Ahh, yes, the Peak Cinema theme that genuinely made me cry. Man, makes me feel like she's the protagonist here.
Wild this one was sent to you with such an unassuming, random filename title, and that it's not AS popular, considering it makes me more emotional than anything else Studio EIM has cooked up for Project Moon games
The funny thing is that is actually the boss I am stuck on right now.
I only have two Identities at the right level.
One is a maxed out W Corp Heathcliff.
The other is a near maxed Outis.
I have no egos.
Face the grind, win the clashes
W CORP HEATHCLIFF ?!
Base EGO is, for the most part, all you really need for a long time. If you have any friends, you may want to tag in a friend's support unit for an extra hand. Other than that, take a step backwards and rethink your team compisition. see if you can get some more Envy and Lust onto your team such that you can have Heathcliff's Bodysack ready at a moment's notice, even early in the fight. same with Sloth and Pride for Outis instead, To Pathos Mathos' 20 floor makes it one of the cheapest, most consistant EGO in the game. Another thing you could try is to go in with 1-2 less units than nessissary, as when you go in with a smaller party than the game expects, it will give a 2nd skill slot to your first few units in the selection menu, allowing you to attack with the units that ARE leveled more
bro somehow have W Corp Heath
get a friend and borrow someones maxed busted id, like wildcliff or new ryoshu
Impressed how accurately you can interpret the story from the soundtrack alone.
When Nostalgia is weaponized the Boss Theme.
You have no idea how much I would watch a gaming channel of yours where you play through games whose music you've covered to get context on it yourself.
It's a good time to return to the OST of older Limbus chapters, we have at least 6 weeks of nostalgia before diving into the absolute hype of Canto VII
Far and away my favorite piece of music out of Project Moon as a whole, glad you got to listen to it. I'd never heard a song so evocative of nostalgia before.
Hay fever hell theme
И это ещё мнение без учёта перехода от первой фазы боя, где постиндустриальная атмосфера и электронная музыка движением веера сдувается и сменяется основной оркестровой темой.
Этот контраст удваивает ощущения и полностью передаёт тему сюжета.
Adding children's laughter to this track is an insane touch and it makes it so much better...
me when the boss pulls a domain expansion 3 turns into the fight and starts whooping your ass
This song has an official video on Studio EIM's channel btw
most songs i cover probably have official uploads but when it's the patreon queue I don't go looking in case there are differences between them. Better safe than sorry using the exact link provided
"It's time you ceased to bloom."
Clocks have a lot of meaning in LCB
There are recurring themes of time with Dante who literally has a clock face and how a lot of characters are stuck in the past
So for Dongbaek it was that she can't stop time, its always ticking forward and she can't go back to that past that she wanted so dearly and because of that we are in conflict.
So if you ever hear a clock ticking in the songs, it usually means ties to those themes
still one of my favorite fights of the entire game, favorite moments in general, favorite character, narrative themes, they cooked so hard
Distorted Donrang's theme next?
ah yes when the yellow cow joined mc heaven
mfg
Olli
Theme of nostelgia to the time that one never had been.
How the hell does this man always get the plot for the ost so perfectly to the point that im not even sure if he actually doesn't know the story of the game
Let us return to the past, to a paradise before the world was corrupted by technology. A uropia of beautiful hillsides dotted by golden camellias emitting a spicy floral scent
Once again Catharsis basically explaining an entire character 100% accurately just from listening to their theme song
Dong-baek. This is a desperate dream of on who, craving to return to the peaks of happiness once experienced, descended to extremism to fill her broken heart. And as she realized it, she searched the depths of it - and found what TRULY is her wish.
It's also a theme of one who wants the return of the joy once gone so much, she'd be willing to give up herself for it. And the incoming, looming realization, that we're breaking this dream, turn by turn, as it fades away into petals on the wind.
The time has been gone. The vibrant spice bush flowers are gone, leaving only the scent behind.
Flower girl
since everyone is throwing up themes to listen to
snowstorm fields
something you can just leave on loop while going through emotions.
I was stuck on thid boss for so fuckin long, goddamn
You should react to Canto V Boss 2 theme! Its an epic song for a fight that many players had problems with
Has there been reaction to "Leviathan" (canto VI battle theme E if I recall correctly)?
I can't seem to find it in the playlist, but vaugely recall it being there. Oh well, probably mixed it up with something else.
If you like this then I suggest Tiphereth’s battle theme from Library of runia.
About the cinematic build up in Library of Ruina, you already heard one in Limbus that functioned like it. It is Between Two World, where Realm of Light builds up to Realm of Darkness.
Technically all of Mili’s songs work like that, it’s just that Fly My Wings, Compass, and Through Patches of Violet all have multiple steps as opposed to Between two Worlds which only had one big leap.
I think you should definitely listen to Canto VI - Boss 3, 4, and 5. All three are very pivotal turning points in the involved character's story, and I'd love to see if you'll guess what happens in there :)
This is among the best of the non Mili tracks from limbus
he finally listens to spicedebushy theme lmao
Hope that one day you'll do a video about the full reverbration ensemble ost from library of ruina, in my opinion the best musical experience i had in that game.
Hmm if you want tone setters in this game i can give you two for each canto (from canto 3) one calm the other setting stakes
Canto 3:Sinclair Theme1/Sinclair Town story
Canto 4: Reminisance (full version)/Destroyed Lab
Canto 5:Deep Cold Sea/Overwhelming
Canto 6: Distorted Dream/Lone wolf .
My favourite theme from LC that isn’t Mili. But the lack of vocals enhances the soulfulness in my opinion. Which, not that it would’ve been bad with vocals. But it just feels so evoking without them, so nostalgic, so harrowing, so beautiful. Tinted with the petrichor of regret, and the desire for hope. I really love this theme; and the writing association with the character associated with it.
peaktharsis posts again babyyy
I cried when i heard this the first time
@@allowinoftheattic2471 sameeee. It was at this point "I am hooked to the game and it's story" Hail KJH!
Damn we need him to listen to canto 4 boss 2
If he likes these types of songs, he should listen to falling down lol
I think you would love chesed battle theme
You should listen to Canto IV Boss 2 next
No way you finally got spicebushed...
This is my favorite non vocal boss theme in the game, the whole meaning behind it is the character this belongs to, dongbaek, finally realizing and accepting that she enacted a whole terrorist group based on her masked nostalgia and yearning for her past with her ex-partners inventors.
She ends up just manifesting EGO and wanting to crush her old friend's career and planting the seeds of her past for future generations to find it and have the same wonder she had.
I just really love her discourse of "i'll bury it... deep in the sand... so others may discover it"
dongbaek more like dongbased
dongbaek was rather fond of fireworks.
and so am i rather fond of her boss theme, canto 4 my favorite canto story and music wise (literally cannot understate how much i love distorted dongrangs theme along with this, god damn.)
Привет. Просто интересно, ты слышал про такую игру как Гвинт: кровная вражда? Она же Gwent throne breaker. На мой взгляд, там весьма хорошая музыка.
I’m just saying, play through when 👀
No winrate up ):
Do Lone Wolf next
:(
