Favorite sounds? (Spoilers!)
I was exploring the capital's sewers and was assaulted by the constant ringing of scarabs. But I wasn't finding any! Maybe half an hour later I squashed one only to later discover three more in the same network of pipes. Picking off each one and more easily discerning their location was thoroughly satisfying. And after I stopped playing, gentle, tinkling sounds set off my scarab sense: a runny faucet, rain, the neighbors' wind chime...

Was wondering if anyone else wanted to draw attention to unusual enemy voices, notable sound effects, and stories you have centering around them—whether in-game or associative.

I like all the moaning and whining coming from the folks that're strung up on poles all over Limgrave.
I like to imagine my character being very disconnected from the world and snapping up at them occasionally.

My favorite sounds you hear when...


Buffing with:
  • Golden Vow"
  • Flame, Grant Me Strength"
  • Rallying Standard" (weapon buff) (female version)
  • Consumables (crab, pickled fowl feet, exalted flesh)

Other sounds:
  • Obtaining a new item (for the first time)
  • Restoring a Great Rune
  • Page's flute instrumental
  • "TOGETHAAA!"
  • "Hey!" (wave gesture; female version)

Also, Kale's cut dialogue, particularly when he blames you (the player), the Tarnished, the Golden Order, once he uncovers the truth about his people's fate. Whoever the voice actor is... excellent acting.

Oh this is a fun post, and absolutely no contest for me. It's the sound the miners make in any of the smithing stone dungeons. The whole vibe of these areas is just so cool; it hits a perfect sweetspot between eerie and pleasant.

If you wear really high quality headphones, and head to a quiet spot with the music turned off completely and turn the system volume all the way up, stop and listen for a while...

If you're talking about that faint cash register ding, that's just Miyazaki counting his stacks. That'll go away... in a few decades.

Most of FS’s games were used as examples of proper sound design when I was getting my degree in audio production. I’d love to get a job at FS as a sound designer but unfortunately one of the requirements is being able to also speak Japanese.

Guess I need to start watching more anime :(
