I like Wilds but music been....disapointing

[Varenvel The Festive Dinosaur]

Mizutsune dropped and not expected it to be best music ever , but i had conversation with few friends how music in monster wilds is just "ok" , one friend even said "wait , wild has music" and i kinda agree , i kinda had hopes Mizutsune had some good theame atleast but...its worse then every one before it

and i dont get why they wanted to get away from "Japanese or asian roots in theame and music" its like witcher 4 would start removing its slaving roots what made it great in first place.

i hope that their stance changes as world had such good music i listen to it often , with wilds i yet to have find theame id lisen outside of the game even once.

sorry for bad english/puncutation.

It's not even just words even the music from older games gives a better feel and I agree I don't like the music in this game.

Aside from Rathalos BGM, everything else is not memorable.

I feel like this is pretty subjective. Even bands you like will occasionally release a song you dont like.

I, for one, do like the music. Am I actively listening to the music? Generally, no, but not cuz its not good but because Im tuning it out to listen to audio cues that generally indicate Im about to get hit in the face by a pissed off super fish.

It upholds the tradition of having a handful of standout tracks like Shadows Dancing on Ice
and Rey Dau's theme while the rest are just OK.

Curious how I precisely mentioned those two tracks as the most memorable as well here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2246340/discussions/0/596271369016084123/

It just means that I'm not definitely alone with this sentiment.

Everybody on YouTube keeps glorifying other themes but I can only hear Resident Evil boss music, and they aren't that special in my opinion, too many trumpets doesn't make a theme great, however I still respect their opinions because it's personal preference at the end.

And yeah, it's disappointing for me to have Wilds's OST being so mid so far.

Extra points for giving Rathalos his own theme based on MH1.

Music is written by AI

Music is far better than World. The Ice Cliff have one of the best theme.

they told AI "write me a 5 minute epic orchestra music".

[SolusiRadikal]

nothing beat Frontier in term of difficulty and BGM quality

[dyne2alex]

I prefer the music here compared to any of the modern monhuns.

[seesharpdev]

i just put on FF7 Rebirth's midgarsommr music whenever i fight Zoh Shia.

[Inuakurei]

I agree. I kinda forgot the game had monster themes until Arkvield. Zoh Shia is ok too.

You say this a lot. Do you have anything to back it up. I agree with most of the OST being mediocre, and find it a huge step down compared to Rise and the pre-world games, but I don't know where you're getting the AI angle from.

I think Mizu's theme is a dud here due to splitting the main melody in two and adding a super low-energy break into what's supposed to be a relentless dance of a song.

I'm joking because AI doesn't have an understanding of things deeper, it doesn't "think" so was whoever composed for Wilds.
So might as well be an AI, could have saved them a lot of money probably

Definitely with you there, this games music is so forgettable. The only track I even remember was Jin Dahaads. Every single monsters music I can't even remember what it sounds like. Mizutsune is my favorite monster in this series and to hear it's theme in this...yea it's pretty disappointing tbh.
