so. i picked up Lost Odyssey a couple of days ago and i must say. i am in love. now love is a harsh thing. it can make you want more when all you really wanted in the first place is right in front of you. you can start to look for improvements in your life and faults in that in which your heart is with.
Realizing this harsh reality. i tried even harder to love tis game. but, one thing i couldn't get past was this: the music was damn good, but not good enough. this game had a sense of epic-ness to it like no other. so now. D-Toider's go forth. and play the beginning sequence of lost odyssey in which Kaim is fighting his way through the battlefield. turn down the sound. and play this video. play it with the volume up loud.
these guys have a CD out. They are called Judgement Day. i hope some big game exec stumbles across this san fran born crew and sticks their music into the right place. a place like Gears of War 2. or God Of War 3. something that deserves the true POWERRR! of JUDGEMENT DAY!
if you agree with me that this would make awesome game music. spead the word!
This is the kind of music The Samson listens to, whilst smashing faces.
Seriously though, I couldn't listen to this sort of music myself, but i can see it making an EPIC EPIC trailer. One the likes this world has never seen before.
Have you heard the soundtrack to Eye of Judgment? It's metal, too, and sounds like it's right out of Ford Mustang: The Legend Continues or whatever it's called.
It's the single worst soundtrack I've ever heard, in complete dissonance with the game it's connected to.
Lost Odyssey's is alright, some parts are very good. I'm impressed with the sound design in general, the ambient noises and sound effects are clear, realistic, and do a lot for the atmosphere. As for the dream stories, sometimes it's good, other times it just sounds like... very standard Noboe Omlettesu.
i havent played eye of judgement. that kind of card based/eye toy, bullshit never caught me as awesome. but i probably will agree with you that it has the worst sound track ever.
personally i really like Lost Odyssey. it is so very Final Fantasy that i cant hate it. and with all these great names attached to the developement i couldn't pass it up. but yes. i find the soundtrack wonderful at times, and at other times it brings me back to FFVII. which, isnt very bad, but this song started playing in my itunes library whilst battling the very first boss in LO and i almost cried with joy.
@Zombian: I'm a fan of various kinds of metal; From Tomohawk to Megadeth to Black Sabbath, so I am not biased against the sound.
This just bores the shit out of me; there is no substance to the music. It's just a horribly cheesy, stringy sound with drums backing it the whole way through.
I can see it being pretty popular among the emo crowd though...
@ scribble:
first of all. you mentioned only run of the mill "classic" metal. if you were really the "metal entrepreneur" you claim you are you might mention: Vehemence, Children of Bodom, 3 Inches of Blood, All Shall Perish, Necrophagist, Behemoth, and many more. but thats besides the point.
what i am most irritated about is your prejudice against Judgment Day by claiming they would be "popular with the emo croud". Oh cmon skribble, you and i both know "emo" is just an internet fad to pick on people. what people like you call "emo" can range from a: metal head to b: Scene Kid/ Myspace whore to c: Goth Ki to d: Indie. everyone knows deep down that what you call the "emo" croud is basically everyone cooler than you.
your ignorance pains me.
oh p.s.
as "horribly cheesy" as it may be, it can never be as cheesy as your megadeth. The strings are actually quite origional. you find me another "string metal band" (you know what i mean) and i'll consult the manliness comitee to see if you can file to get your penis returned to you.
