>>53511472I’ve played the game and can safely say it’s the worst OST in the series
The copious overuse of slap bass, bad synths, and electric guitar hasn’t left since SwSh and everything sounds so fucking bland and similar
The tracks still don’t have any cohesion compared to how Gens 1-6 at least had unifying instruments and motifs (gen 1 was simple chiptune, gen 2 was still chiptune but noticeably more complex, gen 3 had tons of brass, gen 4 was mostly piano, gen 5 had a soundfont and guitars, gen 6 had some accordions and a lot of woodwinds)
Gen 7 arguably had tribal chanting to unify it, but since vocals have become a staple of SwSh and SV’s tracks especially its since been diluted and watered down into the same dogshit that followed it because GF just couldn’t pick a different fucking instrument for once
Area Zero is the only batch of decent tracks in the game and even it can’t escape this shit- the final boss battle is ruined by a shitty guitar riff and dubstep wobbling, both wild battle themes go so hard on the slap bass that it drowns out everything else in the track repeatedly, and the overworld theme starts with a god-damned whopper of a fart.
It’s only fitting that a dogshit game gets a dogshit OST, but I’m still mad because I just want to find one good thing about these fucking games to cling to and yet with each passing generation that becomes harder and harder
