Sorry, I mean in the second video.
thanks for the precision though :)

lol i completely ignored the second one.
apparently one of the composers builds their own instruments so possibly that's what he has. it looks like a stringed instrument though (he's holding a bow). interesting

#73 FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1B29ritjNg
#74 ANOTHER EDEN OST 4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HWvLv3qls4reminds me of "Kamado Tanjiro no Uta" lol
Why did the guys from Procyon studio drop it since OST 2?

 

[grunty]

Did the intergrade OST include the updated version of the opening?

 

[Justisamuel]

Did the intergrade OST include the updated version of the opening?

If we're talking about "Midgar, City of Mako" (?), unfortunately not that I can recall.
I haven't watched a walkthrough yet, but I don't know if there's a difference? Does the track change significantly?

The chorus has different lyrics. That's about it.

Spoilers for INTERGRADE.

Dank cheese but also awesome.
Phase1 of the fight is also pretty neat white Phase2 is the kind of classical cheese I don't care for lol.

I'm not even talking about the scandalous hiring of 2 certain composers for the rest of the ceremony -if only it was the only scandal of #Tokyo2020...

#176 Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- / Hideyuki Fukasawa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRK0xROfy6Y7h30 by him... But as if they had decided to loop most of the tracks to compete with this year's XL OSTs.
ヴローヴ:Ⅲ drums totally sound like Tom Holkenborg's signature. Maybe he has used his percussion library? lol
Anyway, the coverart is so great, even Enuma00 wouldn't have done better.

The Game Awards 2021 happened, but Lorne Balfe didn't conduct the medley this year.

Instead, he conducted during Horizon: Forbidden West's stage presentation following a new trailer (gorgeous gameplay and music).
Lorne Balfe x Julie Elven, one of those crossovers I didn't expect.

And as expected, NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… won the Best Music Award.

[Justisamuel]

Horizon Forbidden West, Volume 1 / Joris de Man, Alexis Smith, Joe Henson, Oleksa Lozowchuk, Niels Van Der Leest

Lot of vocals, sound design with futuristic textures coupled with the heavenly voices of returning Julie Elven and now Melissa R. Kaplan.
Volume 2 (March 11), Volume 3 (March 25): good thing to release the full thing slowly. I think it's a serious contender for this year's Game Awards.
I'm still not done watching the game movie...

3/5

• In the Flood (ft. Ariana Gillis): This pretty acoustic song blends really well with the cinematic, those landscapes to the west are gorgeous.
• Echo of You (ft. Melissa R. Kaplan): Nice atmospheric track, reminds me of Dune but better. I also like the hectic last part.
• Second Chance: Something more bombastic to please my ears, an then this epic take on the old main theme at 2:54 is fire.

4/5

• Whatever Comes (ft. Julie Elven, Melissa R. Kaplan): 2:06 is it a cello or one of those instruments they have crafted? So good.
• Aloy's Theme - Forbidden West (ft. Julie Elven): New main version of the old main theme. More layers, imo definitely better.
• A Promise to Uphold (ft. Julie Elven): extended version of "Promise of the West". Love the textures here. 2:15 that Cello foreshadowing the strings is just...! And the flute is heavenly. This track is so beautiful and immersive. Maybe 5/5 later.
