2021 was a good year for penultimate bosses having better themes than the actual final bosses.

Such as:

I wouldn't actually post the whole OST, but the VGA were absolutely right to award best soundtrack to Nier Replicant (aside from the awkward fact that it's a remaster, but it was new to me anyway). Endwalker obviously came out after the nominations, but even as much as I love FFXIV's soundtrack I don't think I'd give this installment alone the nod over Nier Replicant. Maybe once all the patch content for the expansion is finished in a couple years.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


One theme you'll hear quite a lot in Blue Reflection: Second Light is "Aruella," a beautifully haunting piano and strings track reused from the first game's OST. I never played Blue Reflection 1, but I've listened to the soundtrack several times over. The cello that comes in around 45 seconds in has this wonderful melancholy tone under the suspended pulse of the piano, giving the entire piece an unresolved, yearning quality. This game is so good at capturing the liminal space between adolescence and adulthood with both sight and sound.

In the sequel, they kind of tacitly acknowledge this being the best track by repurposing into your home base music.

Check it out
Well, it's the lyrical paragraphs
Your tracks make me laugh
You front on the microphone
You didn't pass math
And science, the main ingredient
To be the finest of the fittest
You did it
And, yo,
I ain't wit' it
You failed all the lessons
Wanna remain in the top 10
Stop lookin'
Listen
Give props to the light skin
Knowledge is the key to be the best of a black man
Wisdom understands the ways of a Dutch land
Devilish attitudes that really make me rude
It's Friday the 13th
You're all fuckin' doomed
It's Jason, and Michael Myers, and Freddy all combined
You say we're the savages
But look who eats swine
The pig
There's only one vein in the body
I'm at the hot vodka and
Sing 'em a song
I wanna rock-a-bye the babies
It won't be long until you're pushin' up daisies

Honestly I could pick any blue reflection 2 song and it'd be both good to listen to and remind me of an Emotion

This song isn't necessarily the best of the ost to just listen to by itself (though it's still good), but it's the one whose emotional baggage is at the core of what makes the game so special. When I hear this song, I think of the characters just hanging out in the summer sun, maybe lazily thinking up some future plans. Just talking, maybe flirting a bit, being teenagers enjoying their summer break

I'll forever remember this track for the hilarious tonal mismatch in the middle of Uta's mental breakdown that I still can't tell was the wrong audio cue or intentional.
