I get the exact same emotional context shivers from music everyone is describing. The song has to be good though. Sometimes the song being good can give fake emotion to a scene that would otherwise fail to get a response but the ones I keep coming back to are both good scenes on their own and good music on their own

Kanfy posted:I can certainly definitely get the whole gooseflesh deal (and up to literal tears) from music but yeah, most of the time it's tied to emotional context. A semi-recent video game example I guess would be the climactic final battle of the previous FF14 expansion Heavensward, the fight's the culmination of a real long journey and the fact that it opens with just the sorrowful main theme before ramping up with the expansion's leitmotifs as the phases go on works super well if you've been invested in the story. This is something that really stood out to me in Red Dead 2 -- every little story arc in each chapter has its own musical theme and there will be like a lighthearted, hanging around with your friends version, a melancholy version, a sneaky stealth version, and a combat version, and then in some climactic story moment they'll kick it into high gear with operatic vocals and poo poo. The soundtrack is really well done, not just in like "it's good to listen to" but you could play me a song from it and I could probably tell you what was going on in the story whenever it originally played in the 60+ hour game. Shoutout to chapter 3 especially, when the theme kicked in during the final mission there it blew my mind

Also on the topic of ASMR and roleplaying, back when Youtube was down for a short while people were remarkably quick to find other sources which I find weirdly funny. (the highlight of this list is obviously "fart" though)

the credits music for mega man zero 4 actually hits me pretty hard, since the zero series has probably the most coherent and interesting story of basically any mega man thing ever made and zero 4 especially has a really surreal tone and the ending straight-up is just zero dying and not magically coming back to life like in x and also marks like the first time in the mega man series that things, canonically, do not just get worse at the end https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PMPIo9jo0M

homeless snail posted:yeah they're good at that, stormblood has another good example with a boss fight they built up for months and their song has this whole emotional arc over three measures as the boss comes to terms with why they have to fight, every time I do it the second/third phase transition is like a fuckin dagger to my heart I'm not actually sure which boss you're talking about here

the credits music in shadow hearts is either a weight finally getting lifted as you get a moment to look back on how hosed up and insane the entire adventure was and how much yuri's grown since the start, or a slam in the face with how loving depressing the bad ending is that makes you wonder what the hell is going to happen to yuri after this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd1Jym_70MA

i think mr. driller g is the only game that's ever made me feel a serious moment of dramatic weight in a block puzzler and basically all of it is because they drop you right into a loving bottomless hole in antarctica with this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjFKoGa3JnQ drill land makes a pretty good attempt to keep up though by dropping you in a haunted house with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYq-jiuWC9Q

Ok full admission music DOES get me 'tingly' or emotional or gross snotty crying but usually it's real powerful instrumental stuff or memorable songs from parts of life It's just ASMR stuff that feels alien as hell to me

The final boss theme of Xenoblade 2 is mostly fine, but the leitmotif (if that's the correct description) that it transitions into around 1:08 and a couple other times still gives me goosebumps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjIkPZiqiUQ&t=65s

i recently beat cool cool toon for the sega dreamcast and the third-to-last boss of that game where you have a dance battle with a vampire king sure had music to sell it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2qZ0cT19VY the final song where you and the vampire king and a witch have a dance battle with a giant green ghost in a white void is alright too but the vampire king's songs are better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86ggq3Fu0_I The Colonel fucked around with this message at 08:55 on Nov 4, 2018 |

REvil4 update: I introduced Ashley to my bro Luis and he was immediately a sexist dick but my girl did not have time for that poo poo and shut him right the gently caress down. Ashley is a stone cold queen and I'm all about that. Then we got swarmed by a ton of locals. I guess white women really are popular outside the western world, aren't they? e: As for emotional music You're Not Alone from FF9 gets me every time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKAoSY5bhSw

Every time I post an FFXIV track I end up going through a whole bunch of 'em before I even realize it. I feel like I might just rank it as my favorite soundtrack of all time at this point, though obviously it has the advantage of being an MMO and thus having a ton of music in general. Still though, something like these two being boss fight tracks from the exact same game is just kind of amazing to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cORuiUZzT8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLCWCPyxByg

homeless snail posted:I'm gonna put this in spoilers for the guy that hasn't played SB yet tsukuyomi. first phase isn't too special, its just a mournful rendition of the stormblood garlean motif, but it speaks to the meaninglessness of what's happening. second movement accompanies their soliloquy ("ah I understand, it feeds on my spite") its just a really tragic and ephemeral piano piece as they literally face their inner demons, and finally at the end of the phase soken starts pounding the poo poo out of his piano ("but it is too late for me, there can be no redemption") and the guitars and vocals kick in for a sorrowful but resolute ending as they realize that they're going to die and that they probably deserve it, but they're still not going to stop fighting Aside from the music the whole thing is also a good example of them seamlessly integrating storytelling into the fight, particularly with the second phase. They've certainly come a long way from the incredibly clunky and poorly thought out mid-dungeon cutscenes from the end of 2.0.

I appreciate the muted cutscenes because my own imagination filling in the blanks at the outlandish nonsensical events that occur onscreen are better than whatever they actually recorded. Alternately, have you considered that, like, it's not so much the deaf protagonist but the player who is deaf to the true problems of modern society

Square-Enix have been mostly disappointed in their big AAA western IPs but have had a lot of positive returns from their mid-budget projects like Life is Strange and Before the Storm last year, so if we're lucky they'll probably greenlight a whole bunch of incomprehensible garbage like this in the future.

It's funny how everything about the quiet man was telegraphed a while ago at conferences by things like Patrick klepek playing the demo for a crazy long time and unlocking achievements, or being told the game was like a silent movie before being handed a pair of headphones.
