You just write it is terrible, but nothing more than that. I do not think it is terrible. It is a matter of taste. And it also fits the setting very well, like Proof of a Hero was for MH:W in its version.

Not my problem you don't have ears or experience to use them. New version straight up doesn't even sound like Proof of a Hero. They cut out the dynamics from the song almost entirely along with brass instruments. It lost its identity,I won't be surprised that it was written by AI or something.

Seems so.

They dropped the ball quite hard with the music selection in Wilds.

I can't remember a music in Wilds that just pops out and becomes memorable.

World? Oh it had several.
Even the main town had a really good music. I remember when the Final Fantasy quest came out and Behemot was actually a bit too hard for me that point and it was only until much later when I had Master Rank gear when I went for it again.

During all that time I had the Final Fantasy theme in the main town and when I got back the original it hit the feels right away.

I don't get how they could have downgraded the music as much as they did in this sequel.

only peoples who had dragonator jhen should be allowed to replay, otherwise they have no clue what they are discussing in the first place. wilds and rise remake of poh was and is terrible. person taste? sure, but the fact you have a palate for dung don't make it more appetizing for others

That is the true Proof of a hero from wilds, it's the 2025 version, but it is locked behind the 110 dollar purchase. The it will likely be the song that plays on the final boss of the game once it is finished (Like rise was and the all mother did.)

You can also use it as profile and camp tent BGM.

Astera might not be the most convenient town to navigate but surely the theme was great.
I agree that nothing really stands out but Apex themes are not totally not bad.
I think whoever wrote the music doesn't really understand that battle themes MUSIC has some distinctive theme going on, like remember Nergigante fight music in World? Yeah, like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdYpTAtlawg

No it's just 2025 version of classics. I'm referring to literal music in the game that you can listen to called "Proof of a Hero Wilds version"

[Niwoh]

No I agree, it's the worst version so far imho

the sound in general is all over the place.
on one hand weapon sounds have never been better, like gun lance is just cheffs kiss.
on the other hand there are stock assets used for monster sounds like deer screams recognizable from valheim, chicken sounds for seikret and the most generic bear roar for gravios.

Saying this game dropped the ball on music is so dumb. One listen to rey dau's theme proves you wrong. God forbid they do a new spin on proof of a hero (something they do every title lmao)

[Катюша]

Wilds music is just terrible in general, but that's just my opinion. I think it's my least favourite soundtrack from the series.

I remember finishing the game and thinking to myself "Where was the proof of the Hero? Did they forget about it?" But apparently it was changed so much I simply didn't recognize it lol.
What a blunder
