BGM SHOULD NOT HAVE LYRICS ... just a feedback

[EddyIceCream]

it is VERY DISTRACTING

[Commander Red Jonkks]

I liked the song having lyrics, but after a while I realised I had the volume turned up way too high (for everything in the game). If you lower the volume, it sounds a lot more "background" and less distracting.

Hope this helps :)

i haven't tried this yet, but i did just finish persona 3 and the BGM in that had lyrics and i was sitting here thinking yeah, lyrics in background music are distracting. the BGM in that sounded cool, but the lyrics weren't a "complete" song. it was just 2 lines that kept repeating over and over.
and i get it that BGM is "supposed" to repeat, but that's also why i agree with OP, that lyrics don't belong in a song that is designed to repeat and loop endlessly in the background.

edit : trying the demo now and yeah, the lyrics. . at least, it shouldn't be playing when there is dialogue on screen to read. there seems to be quite a bit of reading in this game and having lyrics in the music when you're trying to read a book and someone is talking in your ear constantly.
I was trying to focus on what the characters are telling me and reading about the elemental types and weaknesses, but the lyrics are so insistent.
it's really not so much the lyrics themselves, but that the voice is kinda loud and pushes it to the top of my "attention priority". which is why i say it's "insistent", like it's trying to force me to pay attention to it.

the lyrics are a nice touch, never really played a game with lyrics in the music before really.. well unless you count the opening to smash ultimate but that doesn't matter. but i do agree i got so distracted by the lyrics. i loved the lyrics in the middle of the archangels battle though

[Icedfate]

in all fairness, the only time i found it distracting was at the very beginning, he cutscene when the npc was talking and explaining stuff to me.
a solution might be to have the music stop during dialogue, or just play a version without lyrics durinc cutscenes

Guessing you're not a Persona fan, then. A shame.

[Icedfate]

is that directed at me? you assume i don't like the persona series because i thought that one song that plays at the mall didn't need lyrics in it and i used that as a comparison for this game?
wow, you like taking leaps of logic don't you.
like, why the frig would i make the effort to acquire FES and play through the journey with max social links, 100% persona compendium AND play through the answer if i was not a "fan".

side note. .. i'm actually not a "Fan", but i did acquire the ps2 version of P3 and P4 and i'm literally playing P4 right now.
normally, i don't go for visual novel type games, but i just kinda got sucked in.
too bad the PC versions have Denuvo

[Icedfate]

for clarity, i do like the persona games. the specific example i gave was the mall music in persona 3.
it's a really catchy theme, and there's a singer singing lyric like "i never felt like da da da da. . i never felt like da da da da" and my issue with it is that it just kinda loops like that which then creates an earworm (when the song gets stuck in your head)

maybe it's a bad example, because what i'm actually criticizing here in this game is that the voice in the song is too loud and it was playing during a cutscene, while i was trying to read and concentrate on what the people saying..

persona has a lot of voice acting in it and that would also be super distracting if you are in a cutscene with the characters talking about shadows and death and whatnot and there's a voice constantly going "i never felt like da da da da. . ." in your ear.

but Atlus actually did it right in that the lyric music doesn't play during cutscenes.

another example could be the persona 4 battle music, of a way it's done right, that has lyrics and it's actually a complete song, where the lyrics have clear beginning and an end, but most importantly, it only plays during the random battles, where there are no important plot points to be made or lore dumps to read



TLDR : i'm not suggesting that the dev remove the song, just that they don't make it play during a cutscene, when characters are talking.

Hey everyone! 👽

Not sure if you already figured it out, but you can turn off vocals by going to settings > audio > music vocals.

Thank you!

Well, that's certainly a take.

Thank you, Karen. That sounds like it should make everyone happy.

There is now a setting at least on switch to turn lyrics off which is really good news

I play guilty gear... A 2d fighting game with hard rock, metal, and pop music blaring and I love it.
