>>19640135>>19640194To be more constructive from my previous comment, to me it felt more as if Masuda and the others were doing what they did best to its fullest. Gen 4 had a lot of softer keys and a strong presence of mallet percussion but it didn't feel that strong with the rest of the game. Personally gen four's music was better than most of kalos' that was using orchestration and other elements unavailable to them before, maybe the team is still not used to them. Back to the point gen 5 felt like a revision of music from red and blue but with a big influence from jrpg's specifically the powerful synths which is why I liked gen five's music.
