Im 30 hours in, what could have been 8 hours. I spend WAYY too much time reading the compendium and talking to every NPC that has something to say. Yeah, it's peak.
The way this theme builds is insane.

well well well here we go again, I'm a little disappointed with Metaphor, great game and cool persona and Fire emblem and stuff but hey the endgame is ass tbh, OST was weak as well shockingly ( besides the battle themes that tends to get a little bit underwhelming by the 100H mark ) Not to say that the game is not good but I hoped for much much more, maybe a more nuanced story as well.
I'm sooo glad I got the collector's edition with the soundtrack. The first time I heard it before playing the game I wasn't sure, but after putting 100+ hours in and now being on my second playthrough.... dude I love it.
0:44 this one section is worth about half the game's price on it's own, the Trumpets Hopefulness mixed with the Choir's more somber tone, with the Cello and Drums making it more like a war march, the tuba coming later to add to the Trumpets, making it more sure that victory is at hand, before returning to the violin to make you know the battle isn't over until one side falls. Immaculate.
been playing the game for about 30-40 hrs, and I still can't decide if I like the incoherent creak head vocals or not. I've gotten used to it, but im leaning towards no.
@Mega_Mii51 it is unfortunately in that era where SMT games are on Nintendo handhelds, but I legit still expect the song to become The Fear of God as the monk chant wind down because it is THAT similar in structure. Strange Journey is unfortunately underrated even among SMT games...

This is essentially Fear of God but some how Meguro made it like 50x better. So yeah, Strange Journey boys rise up, we're rejecting the lies of the old gods and going pro humanity.
At first, I was like, "how is this different from any other orchestral game music??" then it hit. Would I rank it over other battle music? Probably not. What I guess is probably the chorus is basically bootleg "Apex of the World"
really been annoying my family the last week just going "humbahumbahizzieHUPpahimmahimbahumaHUPdiHUPdihumbidiBUPbaDUP"
"Ndokaiziziratndokaizizirat!!"
this made me laugh out loud hahha thank you
I just imagined Scatman rolling around on the floor while making these sounds whenever the battle themes start 😂
Did they ask if you're having a stroke?
im sure you annoy them in several other ways too
Most games only assemble the full orchestra for the final boss, but these guys call them to work even for just two jackals. That's pageantry.
Imagine the boss fight themes if we know Atlus well!
