What were they thinking with that intro theme song?

Is there a mod for nails on a chalkboard instead? I'd feel less rage if I heard nails on a chalkboard.

What's wrong with it? Typical upbeat anime intro song *shrug*

It's a lame song, but what bothers me is that it's SO FREAKING LOUD. Not just loud in general but that it also immediately STARTS loud; if there was even a five second intro there'd be time to skip it before it pierces your ears. I literally don't put my headphones on until I'm past it.

Although, thinking about it, music is one area where I don't feel Tales has ever excelled. A few songs stick out occasionally, enough that I remember them, but nothing I really want to buy and listen to.

Exactly this. It's also just a really really bad song that I can't just even be meh about, no, it's awfully bad. I almost get a migraine from hearing it blast my ears before I can skip it and I get a little mad about it.

IMHO, all the ost of the game is mediocre.

Minor, non-story related spoilers: After you'll beat Arc 1, the intro will change and it's not obnoxious at all

Subjective.

[Rand Althor]

I honestly LOVE it haha
It's not as good as the original Dragon's Dogma intro rock song, but it's pretty good.
Please never change, Japan : )

[Yílõng Má]

It's a good JRock song, what're you talking about?

[Valerie]

I definitely enjoyed it. I loved the Japanese lyrics way more.

That doesn't change the fact that it's there. And playing through the first arc just to change the intro is very unnecessary. You might as well just mute the damn game.

Then mute it. You people are complaining about something that's not even an issue to most people. You're arguing over subjective material. It's asinine. lol

I know this topic is a bit old now, but you just have to hold on until the 5th realm, Ganath Haros. Then the intro will change permanently.

Yeah, I didn't know that was a thing when I made my original post. I got to the point of the new opening and I genuinely miss the original song. It's just so good to me. Idk what OP is on, but yeah.

I will say to the OP, the FULL song starts out way better. Sounds like something that should belong to a top anime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7bV6NWTZWA

However if they don't like it still, then I am just going to go out on a limb and say they don't like most japanese music.

I'm not the OP, but why? Does all Japanese music sound the same to you? I like lots of Japanese OSTs. I like some of their metal. I don't like generic buttrock, in any language, and I don't understand when games have utterly different, mainstream music as their intro instead of, you know, a really good, original song to suck me into the game world. Tales needs a theme like the Prelude from Final Fantasy. I also don't like most western music these days either, to be clear.
