Disillusion 06/20/22 9:24:34 PM #65:	Breath of Forest SaGa Frontier 2 Medley A -LoV Edit- how do you think? -- Breath of Forest [9.4] CHAMPION RITUAL [8.6] It was in last year's VGMC (right before I would buy Mad Rat Dead and properly play it for the first time) where I heard Breath of Forest for the first time, and it has never left my head since. The entire song is a non-stop relay of infectious energy led by the flute, with the erhu showing up in parts and the drums/other instruments fulfilling their parts very well here. The way that the beginning starts off all unassuming and slow with the piano before the erhu and drums kick in and shift the song in high hear has GOT to be one of my favorite moments ever in video game music. This was the song that also got me hooked onto the soundtrack, so it's no doubt it'll get my vote here. Last year also got me interested into the music from The Devil Game, and this song today is no exception. I've always liked the synths/steel drums I remember hearing from the songs I've listened to so far, and I do like the sense of buildup the songs here tend to have. I think a section or two feels like it goes on for longer than I should, but I still really enjoy the rest of the song to want it to do well. You will Recall Our Names [7.7] SaGa Frontier 2 Medley A -LoV Edit- [8.4] It really is kinda hard to not compare this to the more popular You Will Know Our Names, which I think does what this song is trying to do better. As much as I adore rock orchestra, this isn't hitting me in the right way it seems. The SaGa medley certainly starts off strong with the flute/piano/guitar combo accompanied with the right drums, but after that point my enjoyment fluctuates with how the other "phases" treat the main motif. I think the transitions are the weakest part for me here, which is a shame since I do think the main melodic parts do sound good on their own but I feel there's not enough cohesion to really bring everything together. Regardless, still a good showing from this overall. Para Bellum [8] how do you think? [8.7] ...Wow, I definitely wasn't expecting this sound from a DOOM mod of all things. This really surprised me with its use of synths and an aggressive rhythm. I can't help but think this is some sort of "Castlevania-meets-Actraiser" beta song that got lost in a project's files somewhere; this is certainly a cooler song than I was anticipating, I'm happy to have known this existed! I am always here for the chillest vibes, and how do you think? does nothing but give me exactly what I wished for. The synths help add to that trippy atmosphere I'm digging; the vocals feel like they're taking a sound channel too much in a couple spots, but they mostly work very well in this song. Great stuff overall, I can easily call this one of my favorite discoveries for this contest. <cite>Disillusion posted [p:965975164] in [VGMC] Day...
